Herbie

Herbie has been in around 4 homes in his lifetime. Most recently, he has been in a long term foster home and under the care of SSR for around 3 years. Due to very sad and unforseen circumstances, Herbie has returned into our care and into kennels. It must be said that this home have been perfect for Herbie and have worked absolute wonders with him. He has come so, so far with his behaviour and training and we can only thank his previous home for their incredible work. It has been incredibly distressing and upsetting for them to part ways with Herbie. We are now on the search for a home who would be up for stepping in as a long term foster role so that the rescue can continue to assist with Herbie’s behavioural needs, as well as financially support him in any way he needs (Food, bedding, toys, treats etc) Hi, I’m Herbie! I’m quite famous here at Staffie and Stray Rescue! I have been sticking around with them a long time! I have the tendancy to be a pickle sometimes and I would love a home who can provide me with sufficient physical exercise and mental draining. I would love an adult only home where I can be the centre of their world. Perhaps a home who enjoys long walks on a weekend where I can come with them! I have settled well in cafe’s and pubs and have enjoyed holidays in Cornwall and Scotland too! I absolutely love being in secure dog fields and having a good run around! I have even been to an indoor dog agilty centre and had the best time! Food is the way to my heart, I love all food and treats! I know basic commands and I am a very smart boy. The trick with me really is to try and be two steps ahead of me! I travel really well in the car. I am crate trained and this will need to be continued in my next home. I walk nicely on the lead, but I can pull if I see a small furry! Everyone comments on what a good boy I am though when they see me out and about! I would love a home who can provide me with a good routine and stability. My ideal family would be a dog experienced home and/or a home who is willing and able to follow guidance from the rescue – They know me inside out! I am looking for a home within an hours drive of Bournemouth so that support can be available to my pawrents. Potential applicants will have the opportunity to chat all about me in much more detail. I am so loved here at Staffie and Stray and my team are rooting for someone to come forward and give me a chance! I am in good general health. I don’t have any allergies or dietary requirements. I am on medication to help with my anxiety/to help keep me calm. I am dog friendly. Sometimes I can be a bit too much or a bit too boisterous with smaller dogs or dogs who may not wish to say hello.
