Paddy

About This Dog for Adoption

Paddy's ideal home

Paddy is a sensitive, thoughtful two-year-old who feels worried when meeting new people and will need multiple meets here at the centre to slowly build his trust and a bond. He will thrive with patient, understanding adopters who can respect a hands-off approach at first, allowing him to settle and get to know his new family at his own pace. Paddy is conflicted when meeting other dogs, but he could benefit from living with a calm, confident canine companion who can gently show him the ropes. He is best suited to an adult-only home with a secure, private garden where he can explore and relax safely. Because he is noise sensitive, his adopters will need to choose quiet walking locations and keep him on lead in public at all times.

Could you be Paddy's perfect match?

If you are looking for a medium-energy dog who enjoys playtime and loves his toys, Paddy could be a rewarding companion. He needs a calm, predictable home where his needs are understood and his boundaries respected, especially in the early days. Paddy may be able to be left for short periods once fully settled, but his new family should be prepared to build this up gradually. In return for your patience and commitment, Paddy has the potential to form a deep, loyal bond and grow in confidence within the right environment.
