This is Sid. He's a seven month old bundle of fun who is ready to choose his forever home.
Sid is a very lively lad who is currently living successfully within a pack of dogs without issue. He has only been in foster with me for a few days and is very timid around people until he gets to know you though this is improving with socialisation. Dogs are a different matter and are greeted with enthusiasm! He loves to play with the others but is still learning that sometimes he is a little too rough. This is understandable given the exuberance of youth and he is respectful of other dogs when they tell him "no".
He doesn't bark much (not once yet when out walking) and doesn't fret when shut in (or out of) a room so, although he hasn't been left alone, he should be fine to be left for sensible periods of time.
As Sid is still a pup he loves to chew! This is easily managed by leaving him with chews or bones to keep him occupied. He is not possessive of food or treats and shows no signs of aggression in any situation.
He is quiet in the car, settles well and wasn't bothered by a recent visit to the vet. He is quite strong on the lead but i'm sure this will continue to improve with reward based training as he is responsive to his name and accepts treats enthusiastically. At night he settles well downstairs with the other dogs and is quiet, clean and dry.
Sid is house trained, vaccinated and microchipped but is still too young to be neutered so this will form part of the adoption agreement. He has previously lived ok with a cat though he does have a tendency to chase mine (and birds in the garden) so a dog-savvy cat would be essential. Smaller furries may not be advisable.
If you think you may be able to offer Sid the forever home that he deserves please go to:

and select "Homing application" from the drop-down menu under "Our UK Rescue".
