Meet Paddy!
Meet Paddy: Small Dog,
Huge Personality 😘🐾
Paddy is an adorable little Parson Russell Terrier who sadly came into our care following the death of his owner.
Paddy’s favourite thing in the world is a tennis ball and he would play all day given the chance. However, he can get a little possessive over his toys. He does sometimes snap if something is taken away from him and this has resulted in a couple of nips. Although he loves the company of people, he isn’t the biggest fan of cuddles. He suffers from a skin condition, which is being managed through his diet, and this makes him a little sensitive to touch – so he’s certainly not your classic lap dog. Rather than a snuggler, he’s more of a devoted companion who’ll be right there beside you, doing life with you, but on his terms.
Paddy loves his walks and generally he walks well on the lead. However, he can be reactive towards other dogs when he is out and about. He has been working with a behaviourist and he’s making brilliant progress. We will continue that support in Paddy’s new home and we are sure that with a patient and understanding owner by his side, he will go from strength to strength.
We feel that Paddy would thrive in an active adult only home with no other pets where he can enjoy undivided love and attention. We are also looking for an owner who has experience of feisty terriers; someone who is looking for a companion to enjoy long country walks and playtime rather than cuddles on the sofa.
Are you looking for a playful and lively little companion who just needs to find someone who will understand his terrier complexities? If so, Paddy could be just the boy for you.

ADOPTION PROCESS
We have a number of animals in our care. Most are homeless through no fault of their own and are looking for furever homes and owners who can give them the love and attention they deserve.
Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with our adoption process:
Step 1:
The animal is admitted into our care, and assessed by our team.
Step 2:
The animal is examined by a vet, who treats any ailments or injuries.
Step 3:
The appropriate team leader will liaise with the potential adopter to get to know them and assess whether they are a potential purr-fect match.
Step 4:
The potential new owners meet the animal, and decide if they want to adopt. New owners may be asked to visit the animal several times before the adoption takes place.
Step 5:
A pre-adoption home visit will then be made to new owners home to meet the members of the household and to ensure that the environment is safe.
Step 6:
If the visit goes well, you will be asked to collect the animal and to make an adoption donation (amount on request) as well as to sign an agreement to care for the pet with a commitment to return them to us if you can't continue to do so.
