Ted

Ted is a very good looking young lad who found himself in the stray dog pound, along with his Brother, Bill. Unfortunately their time to be reclaimed was up, and we received a desperate email stating that they had less than 24hrs to find a rescue to go to. Thankfully we had room and we took in both of the Brothers. He’s an unusual mix of Greyhound and Akita.. but he’s a lovely dog! Really friendly and happy! He’s good with people and is happy to say ‘hello’ to everybody. He can be a little hand shy (we assume from some rough treatment in the past). As his history is pretty much unknown, we wouldn’t be able to home him with young children. Ted seems to be good with other dogs… he loves playing with his brother, however Bill isn’t always up for Ted’s rough games! He has met other dogs here too, without any problems. He may be able to share his home, but this would depend on a dog meeting. He doesn’t appear to have a strong chase drive either. He’s had very little training, but does currently walk quite well on the lead! He would need a home who are willing to put some time and effort into his training and continue his socialisation with other dogs. As his recall isn’t great (and he was a stray!), we would recommend that he is kept on lead for his walks, and any off lead exercise is in a secure field or a secure garden. He does love to bound around our exercise compounds! Although Ted has always lived with Bill, the pound actually separated them in order to try and find them rescue spaces and they’re still living separate with playdates. We would consider a home together, but they are also fine apart too.
