Archie – 6 year old male Labrador Retriever
Archie (ref 204d) is a 6 year old absolutely delightful male chocolate Labrador Retriever. He was brought to Derby RSPCA Centre when a change in circumstances meant his last owners were no longer in a position to own a dog. Archie only has one eye, but that eye is so full of friendly personality and good humour that it’s instantly obvious what a very, very nice dog he is.
He loves being with people very much indeed and is always enormously pleased to make new friends. Like most dogs, he enjoys playing with people and with toys, bouncing about happily through sheer joy at being alive.
He knows at least 5 commands and is a very well-behaved dog when he goes out for a walk. He loves being fussed and groomed, but most of all he simply adores being with people. He is a very lovable and huggable dog.
Archie would be suitable for a household where any children were aged 10+ and very kind to animals. He appears to get along with other dogs, but being a dog he would be likely to chase after cats and certain to chase after rabbits.
He loves to be with people so very much that he gets upset if he’s left all on his own, so he needs to live in a home where there will usually be somebody around to keep him company. He will of course need plenty of regular walks, play and fresh-air fun to keep him fit and healthy. He would probably enjoy receiving a little more training and think it was tremendous fun.
Archie is absolutely irresistible and is one of the very nicest dogs to arrive here in the last 12 months. He is an absolute ray of sunshine and guaranteed to put a permanent smile on the faces of his new owners. All the staff and volunteers here love him to bits.
