Not everyone wants a dog that needs two hours of exercise a day. Calm, low-energy dogs are happy with a couple of walks and a long nap, which makes them a good fit for flats, quieter households, less active owners and busy routines. This page gathers the dogs listed with rescues in and around Northamptonshire that their rescue describes as low energy.
Energy level is one of the biggest predictors of whether a dog fits your life, more than breed or size, and a mellow large dog can be calmer than a wound-up small one. The rescue or foster home can tell you a specific dog's real energy, since a dog in kennels rarely shows its everyday self.
