Wiggles

Description

Successfully rehomed by Battersea Dog Home

Wiggles started off his life in Wales and it seemed he had not lived the best life before he arrived at Battersea however he is now enjoying life in a foster home where every day he is discovering new wonderful things that come from living with a family. Wiggles has been looking for his forever home for several months now and has his bags packed ready for his new owners.

Being a typical Terrier, Wiggles is lively and energetic. He would love to have an active lifestyle where he can be out and about exploring. He does have an affectionate side to his character and when he's tired after a busy day exploring he likes a cuddle and his chest rubbed.

Wiggles enjoys playing with toys and his favourite games are 'fetch' and 'tug'. Toys and games will be a great way to bond with him and give him the exercise he needs. Wiggles loves his food and is keen to work for it. He currently knows STAY and WAIT and has the potential to learn much more. Treats would be a good tool to use to continue his training.

Wiggles appears under socialised with other dogs and needs some training in this area. Once relaxed he is keen to meet dogs and has enjoyed a good game of chase. Since being in his foster home he has met several dogs and will happily say a polite hello.

Wiggles is very typical of his breed and is looking for new owners who have experience with terriers and understand their traits. His new owners will need to be happy to continue his training and be patient settling him in as every day he is learning and experiencing new things.

Since being in his foster home Wiggles has flourished. He is house trained, travels well in the car and his foster carers have left him on his own for 2-3 hours and he has been very settled. Although he does have a very waggy tail when they come home! With some further input Wiggles is sure to be a fun and loving addition to his new home.

*Wiggles is currently spending some time in a foster home. Please call us before visiting if you are interested in offering him a home.*
