Columbo

Description

Successfully rehomed by Blue Cross - Hertfordshire

Columbo is a 5 year old Spaniel / Labrador cross. He has come all the way from Ireland to find a new home!

Unfortunately we do not know Columbo's history but since coming into kennels we have found him to be quite an anxious dog who paces a lot. He is very submissive and will jump up to appease people. Generally he will ignore other dogs but is wary of those that approach him in a overly confident way.

Columbo is a fit and active dog who is switched on to wildlife. He is always scanning the fields or has his nose to the ground following a scent! At this stage we do not feel he would be suitable to be let off the lead.

Staff are currently getting to know Columbo better and helping him to feel more relaxed around people. He is under assessment at the moment but will be ready for re-homing soon. Please forward us your completed homefinder if you are interested in offering him a home.
