Stripe
Description
Stripe was rescued from a multi dog house hold where living conditions where unsuitable. His coat was so badly matted that it was decided that the only thing to do would be to shave it off completely and start again. As you can see by his picture, Stripe now has no coat of his own except the smart red one that staff have found him so he doesnt get cold! Stripe has a very thick and lovely coat of his own and looks a bit like Dougal from the Magic Roundabout when it grows back! New owners would need to make sure they keep on top of grooming and maintaining it, to prevent any knots and matts from building up again. When Stripe arrived he was a very nervous young lad who was hugely under socialised and had clearly never been handled. Stripe has came on leaps and bounds since being with us these last few months and is now willing to go out on walks, which he loves! Although he is much better, little Stripe is still lacking in confidence when it comes to physical contact, he will therefore need further socialisation with this. With time and a loving, patient owner we believe he will soon overcome this! As Stripe is still a timid young boy he will require an experienced owner with a quiet home with children late teens so he is able to settle and overcome his fears in his own time. He can be rehomed with another dog as we believe this would help him settle in to a new home quicker as his confidence improves greatly around other dogs. He is not to be rehomed with cats however as this would prove to much for him at present.
