Huxley

Description

Hello, my name is Huxley,

I’m a one year old male Labrador and Staffy Crossbreed. I arrived at The Mayhew because my owner works full-time and felt she didn’t have the time to look after me properly.

I’m a veryÂ active, friendly and soft-natured boy.Â I get along well with everyone I meet andÂ I also get along very well with other dogs, sometimes a little clumsy and full on for smaller dogs but I don’t mean them any harm. I’m toilet-trained, well-behaved and I can be left home alone for a few hours without any problems, when left for longer periods I have been known to get bored and empty the kitchen bin or chew small items left lying around. I’m an intelligentÂ dogÂ and I love to learn new things. I already know all the usual commands which I respond well to.Â I travel well in the car and on public transport. IÂ enjoy going to the park and I have a very good recall when I’mÂ off my lead. I’m super affectionate; I like to snuggle in for cuddles and give kisses if allowed. I’m also very playful and I enjoy playing with and eating ice cubes.

I’m now looking for a forever home withÂ an activeÂ person or family who haveÂ owned dogs before and have researched my breed type.Â I can live with sensible children fromÂ seven years of age and upwards providing they are used to being around dogs. I’d happily share my new home with another dog providing we’re the right match but I wouldn’t be suitable to live with cats.Â My new owners will be expected to take me to training classes and provide me with a minimum of one hour of active off-lead exercise every day. If youâ€™re interested in adopting me you will need to be fully prepared for the hard work and long-term commitment involved in caring for a dog, you’ll be taking on a fourteen year commitmentÂ which must not be taken lightly.

I hope to see you soon,

Huxley x
