I am looking for Alberts forever home

He is an adorable cute puppy full of love and mischief.

He was surrendered due to his owners health issues.

I was originally told that Albert was a Spaniel / Beagle

Although I think there is some terrier in him.

However he is gorgeous and will make a lovely dog for the right home.

If you are looking for a puppy who loves cuddles and can offer an active home then Albert is your boy

VACCINATION STATUS Vaccinations are up to date

MEDICATION? No

DOES THE DOG HAVE ANY KNOWN HEALTH ISSUES? No

DOES THE DOG HAVE A BITE HISTORY OR ANY BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS? No, he is still puppy mouthing though due to teething.

DOES THE DOG PACE, CHASE SHADOWS? No

IS THE DOG PEOPLE FRIENDLY? Yes, he's very excited to meet new people and will jump to greet them, but soon settles down and loves a belly rub.

IS THE DOG CHILD FRIENDLY? Yes, he loves playtime!

COULD THE DOG LIVE WITH CHILDREN? Yes, we have a 5 and 1 year old, but due to him being such a bouncy pup, I would say children over approx age 7 would be best. He can jump very high.

IS THE DOG GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS? He's only been allowed outside for about 3 weeks (following last vaccination) so he's still getting used to seeing other dogs. He does start jumping when he sees a dog but if he's allowed to say hello then all he wants to do is play! He can be quite vocal but soon calms down. He can also be easily distracted with treats.

COULD THE DOG LIVE WITH A DOG/DOGS? I'd say no at this point, just due to not being around dogs much, but maybe with careful introductions.

IS THE DOG CAT TESTED? No, but I'd say no to cats.

IS THE DOG OK WITH SMALL FURRIES? Unknown, I'd say no.

WHAT FOOD IS THE DOG CURRENTLY ON AND FEEDING ROUTINE? Albert is on a tailored plan through Tails and is fed 3 times a day. He is on dry food only and can get an upset tummy when given 'meaty chunks' type food, so new owner would have to be committed to continuing with Tails.

IS THE DOG RELIABLY HOUSETRAINED? Yes, he sits by the door when he wants to go out, but we have to go in the garden with him as he doesn't want to miss any fun that might be happening without him!

IS THE DOG CRATE TRAINED? He has a crate, which he takes himself in sometimes, but we haven't crate trained him yet.

DOES THE DOG TRAVEL OK IN THE CAR, DO YOU USE A CRATE OR SEAT BELT HARNESS? He travels really well in the car, after some initial excitement, and we use a seat belt harness.

WHAT IT IS THE DOG LIKE ON A LEAD? He's only been lead walking for 3 weeks but he's doing really well with it. He does need more training and can pull/refuse to walk sometimes. He is quite strong so a confident owner is a must.

DOES THE DOG HAVE RECALL? We are working on it. He can sit and wait and does come when called in a controlled environment, but he needs a lot more training before being allowed off lead.

DOES THE DOG RESPOND TO ANY COMMANDS/WHISTLE? He can sit, wait, give paw, come.

DOES THE DOG HAVE SEPARATION ANXIETY, CAN THE DOG BE LEFT IF SO HOW LONG? Albert used to bark and howl all night but now he will happily take his bedtime biscuit and settle down for the night. He may revert to barking at night in a new home until he settles. After some initial barking when we leave him, he will then take himself off for a snooze until we return, normally only for a couple of hours. He is used to someone being at home all day so would benefit from this in his new home.

DOES THE DOG RESOURCE GUARD TOYS, BALLS OR FOOD, ETC? No

WHERE IS THE DOGS PREFERRED PLACE TO SLEEP? Albert sleeps on a sofa downstairs on a night. He does have a bed, which I'm sure he would sleep on if needed, but he likes to be comfy!

DESCRIBE THE DOGS ENERGY LEVELS AND THE AMOUNT OF EXERCISE, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STIMULATION REQUIRED Albert is only a young pup, so he is very bouncy and full of energy. He goes on 2 walks a day at present and has a large garden to run around in. As he grows, his exercise needs will increase, so an active home will be ideal. We have been taking him to puppy classes and some sort of ongoing training, maybe agility, would be beneficial to keep him stimulated.

DOES THE DOG HAVE ESCAPE TENDENCIES (FLIGHT RISK)? Yes, he needs to be secured before the front door is opened.

IS THE DOG VOCAL/BARKS/HOWLING? He is vocal, but it's not excessive.

HOW IS THE DOG WITH GROOMING, BATHING, BRUSHING? He's had a couple of showers and tolerates it. He's not been to the groomers.

HOW IS THE DOG AT THE VETS? Unknown as we haven't taken him yet.

IS THE DOG REACTIVE TO ANYTHING? He will jump up and can bark when out and he sees a dog or person, but he can easily be distracted with a treat. Ongoing training is needed.

PLEASE IN YOUR OWN WORDS DESCRIBE THE DOGS BEST QUALITY’S AND WHAT YOU FEEL WOULD BE THE RIGHT HOME. Albert is a gorgeous, loving dog. He's only a pup so is very bouncy and full of fun, but then on an evening when he's worn himself out, he will happily snuggle between us on the sofa and fall asleep, sometimes even snoring!

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S IDEAL HOME, WHAT KIND OF FAMILY WOULD HE SUIT, AND WHERE WOULD HE BE HAPPIEST. Albert's ideal home would be with an active family, with either older children or no children, due to him being strong and bouncy. He would thrive with ongoing training, maybe agility work, to prevent boredom.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER DOG THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED ABOVE? Albert is a lovely pup, he's shown no signs of aggression at all and he just wants to play! He has been going to puppy training classes and he's doing really well. Due to just having his last vaccination when we took him in, he's not had much socialisation yet, so is still super excited when out walking, he loves nothing more than a good sniff. We are really sad about having to rehome him, but he's just a bit too bouncy for our young children as he's quite a big puppy already.
