Shufty is a wonderful, gentle natured boy who came from Romania where he was rescued from one of the worst 'shelters' there. He is now in foster with one of our volunteers.
Shufty is a very affectionate boy who loves nothing better than to rest his head on your knee and be stroked, and if you refuse he will begin nudging you to remind you he is still there, and wanting petting! He gets along with other dogs really well and currently lives with a 3yr old Lab cross. He will, however, bark at other dogs while he is on the lead, but it is only because he wishes to greet them.
Shufty likes to bark at visitors and the mailperson, but quickly goes over for a fuss with no issues.
He is well mannered in the house and enjoys to sleep in his crate, he’s never tried to climb on the sofa or take things off the kitchen counters. He used to be scared of stairs, however, this is no more and he will go take a cheeky nosey upstairs.
Shufty loves his walks and will bounce around in excitement when you put on a coat, he can be strong on the lead if there is something he is interested in otherwise he will walk nicely to heel. He has a good recall to a whistle and will even turn back while he is heading off to say hello to a fellow dog! However, he has shown a keen interest in sheep so will need to be kept on the lead around livestock.
Shufty does have an allergy to barley, turkey and lamb so will need to be fed a diet free from these ingredients. He is currently raw fed and doing very well.
He is neutered, vaccinated and has his own passport.
