Butch

We have had the pleasure of rehoming Butch for just over a year. Unfortunately due to our circumstances changing we have had to make the hardest decision to try and find Butch a home that will be better suited to him. Butch is a gorgeous Kangal Shepherd. He is well behaved around the house, toilet trained, clicker trained in the house (as long as there is cheese waiting for him), he loves playing tug and will happily sit and chill in the back garden for hours. He is also eager to learn and play and picks things up very quickly. He is a special boy but can be quite reactive and picky with certain dogs. We have noticed that it is mostly small dogs Butch does not like, although again, Butch will decide himself. He also does not like being barked at and this will trigger him to become quite agitated. Butch will lunge if he does not like a dog and they get too close and as you can imagine, he is quite a handful when this happens. For this reason Butch will need a strong capable owner to ensure everybody is kept safe. Butch is only walked in quiet areas to avoid dogs, but if we find ourselves crossing paths with one we always try and ensure a safe distance is kept to avoid Butch becoming stressed. We have found using secure dog fields for Butch occasionally is a good way for him to be let off the lead and let off some steam. Butch travels well in the car, but if a dog walks past he does become quite rowdy, similarly if a dog walks passed the window at home or if he hears another dog barking whilst in the garden. This is something a potential new home would need to be aware of due to how loud his bark actually is! Butch will need to be the only dog in the house, he is also ok to be left alone as long as he has access to his bed and is let out mid day. Butch is one of a kind. We love him dearly and he will always hold a place in our hearts. To adopt Butch, please complete an Adoption Application form and we will be in touch. Please note that Homeless Hounds welcomes applications from Lancashire but unfortunately we are unable to consider applications from further afield.
