Rory is a 1 12 months outdated male Golden Retriever cross Spaniel.
Rory was discovered as a stray and dumped in an area kennels in Cyprus earlier than he discovered his solution to us. An cute, energetic and excitable boy in good well being, we felt sure that Rory will need to have come from a house however sadly nobody got here to say him and so he started the journey to discover a new household.
Sadly, it’s not labored out as deliberate. Rory arrived within the UK a number of weeks in the past and sadly the resident canine has turn into very confused and isn’t adapting effectively to his arrival.
We’ve subsequently began the method to try to discover Rory a brand new without end residence. Because of the cause for rehoming we might even be open to contemplating foster residence gives.
Rory is just a 12 months outdated, so nonetheless a child actually. He’s suspected to be a Golden Retriever/Spaniel combine and is an especially pleasant boy who believes everyone seems to be his finest pal, together with the vet.
He doesn’t present any nervous behaviour round individuals and can soar up excitedly to say hello when assembly somebody, however after 5 minutes will settle. He’s a really sociable canine and assured canine.
Rory has carried out very well with coaching and is clearly a sensible pup. He learns new issues shortly and could be very motivated by excessive worth treats. He is aware of instructions comparable to sit, paw and lie down, and understands cues comparable to mattress and pee pees.
His household have additionally been working arduous on crate coaching to provide him a constructive place to settle which has labored effectively, so we might advocate this continues.
He has solely been in a house atmosphere for a number of weeks however has already realized a lot, so with continued coaching there’s no query that Rory will hold flourishing.
Rory has additionally picked up lead coaching very well. When he was first rescued he used to tug like a steam practice, however now he’s a lot calmer, except for his morning stroll when he’s excited and obtained numerous pent up power, or when he’s exploring someplace very new.
Rory loves to smell, and desires to get to all of the smells as quickly as he can to discover nostril first, so in new environments he can get a bit giddy. In acquainted settings nonetheless he’s really very calm and simple to deal with. We additionally assume that given his eager nostril he would actually get pleasure from scent work.
Sniffy walks are his favorite and tire him out extra than simply throwing a ball for him as he will get to actually have interaction along with his environment. He’s additionally nice within the automotive so it’s straightforward to discover new locations with him.
Rory presently lives with one other canine and though he appears to like him and desires to play and be round him on a regular basis, the sensation will not be reciprocated. Rory appears to wrestle to learn social cues and physique language at occasions and doesn’t recognise when the resident canine wants house.
With a canine of the same power to Rory, he would in all probability do very well. He all the time shared a kennel within the shelter and he’s used to being round different canine so he does get pleasure from their firm however is certainly assured sufficient to be the one canine within the family too.
Rory likes toys that require a little bit of focus comparable to a Kong or puzzle toy, but in addition enjoys rope toys that he can tug and shake. He has no challenge letting them go, or dropping them should you maintain one finish and ask him to. Being a younger canine, he’ll try to seize something he can to run by means of the home with it for enjoyable – kitchen roll, packaging, sneakers, and so forth.
He has by no means chewed or broken something he has run away with although, he simply likes to hold it round and maintain it, a trait widespread in each retrievers and spaniels!
Rory would make a wonderful companion, significantly for a reasonably lively household who lives in a semi-rural space. He would love a house with a backyard as that is what he’s used to now, and he’ll proceed to make improbable progress with extra focus given to his coaching. He’s tremendous sensible so it could be a disgrace to not faucet into that.
As a result of Rory might be bouncy we expect a house with kids aged 8+ could be finest, and we expect he’d be higher in a house with out cats. Properties with different canine will certainly be thought of however the characters have to be proper for the dynamic to work between them, as we don’t need a repeat of this case.
Rory’s present household have to think about the wants of their resident canine however they’re actually gutted to be making this resolution. They really feel Rory is a superb canine with a lot potential and has proven such loving, loyal and intelligent traits in a brief time frame.
He’s so eager to please and could be the right companion in the appropriate residence.
Rory is presently based mostly in Surrey and is in search of a brand new residence as quickly as attainable. He has a clear invoice of well being and we’re in a position to accommodate conferences for any households.
