3/9/24 – Archie has found a home!
Adorable Archie is a neutered, Apricot Cockapoo who will be 8 years old in October (his dob is 9/10/2016). He weighs 15Kg and would love a new home with a secure garden to explore and someone home for much of the day. Meantime, he is currently being cared for by Chilterns Dog Rescue in Hertfordshire.
Archie has been in the same home for most of his life. As a puppy, he was attacked by another dog which made him quite anxious about unpredictable things, such as large, off-lead dogs and children. When visits from a new grandchild became a frequent event, his owners felt Archie would be happier in an adult-only home.
Archie is now used to walking and interacting with a variety of other dogs at the Rescue Centre. He is now generally quite calm and relaxed when out and about with his new canine friends but would still be best suited to a home where he does not need to interact with young children.
Archie is friendly, excitable and anxious at times but keen to please; a handsome dog who is affectionate but not cuddly. Although he is technically an ‘oldie’, Archie loves to walk and is very fit and energetic for his years. He has a very good standard of basic obedience and walks well on-lead, his recall is also good and he enjoys playing with toys.
Archie would probably prefer to be the only pet in the home but a suitable environment with a compatible female dog would certainly be considered. Archie travels well by car and enjoys trips out. He is clean and non-destructive and can be left for a few hours when necessary.
Archie is happy for his head and body to be bathed and groomed but is not a fan of having his feet clipped. He is very much in the prime of his life and would make a great walking companion for someone with experience of this type of dog but who doesn’t want to go through the rigours of puppy training again.
