Harvey

Description

Successfully rehomed by Blue Cross - Thirsk

Harvey is a sensitive Labrador that is looking for a new owner that he can strongly bond with and spends lots of time with. He is very loyal and dedicated to those close to him.

Harvey is a friendly lad and loves being out and about on walks, playing with his toys and generally just pottering around with his owner. He is nervous of other dogs and wants to avoid them. He would rather play with his toys and keep away from other dogs. For this reason, we would be looking to place Harvey as an only pet. He has been uncomfortable in the past with visiting dogs to his home.

He hasn't lived with children but has been around the owners grandchildren. He would be happier in a quieter home without young children but should be fine with older teenage children.

Harvey, being a Labrador loves food but is a bit on the plump side. A new owner will need to keep an eye on his calorie intake and make sure he gets plenty of exercise.

If you would like more information about Harvey, please send in a form and we will contact you within 48 hours.
