Stan

***Stan is now RESERVED, we are no longer accepting applications, thank you***

Stan is a delightful 7 year old staffy who is sadly looking for a new home due to a deterioration in his owner’s health. Stan is a perfect house guest – he is house trained, obedient and fantastic company. He loves attention and is incredibly affectionate and loving to all humans. He likes children but can jump up at times so he is best rehomed where any children are over 10.

He might unintentionally knock little ones over in his excitement to get to know them better. In this respect Stan would benefit from more training. His favourite hobbies are playing with his toys, sitting in the garden in the sun, relaxing on the settee and going for as many walks as are offered. He is currently getting one hours walk in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon. He likes to sleep on his owner’s bed and of an evening will take himself off to bed and sleep undisturbed all night ( preferably under the quilt in winter!)

He can be left for around 4 hours without any problems. He may fret if he was left any longer than that though. Outside the home whilst Stan loves his walks and walks fairly well on the lead, he does not like other dogs. Whilst he is not reactive to other dogs when he sees them and is happy to keep himself to himself, he hates other dogs bounding over to him and getting in his face. He views this behaviour as a threat and will react adversely when this occurs. Therefore any new owner is advised to walk Stan in quiet places, at quiet times and to avoid any areas where there are offlead dogs that may annoy Stan. Apart from his dislike of other dogs, Stan is almost perfect! Stan is not keen on small furries and cats and therefore he is best rehomed as the only pet.
