Lewis – 7 month old male Collie cross German Shepherd Dog
Lewis is a 7 month old Collie cross German Shepherd Dog and is currently on foster in Aberystwyth, West Wales. He isnt very big and will be a collie sized dog when fully grown. Lewis is a lovely friendly dog most of the time but does have some problems, he does not like to be left and will become very vocal, so someone home most of the day and with understanding neighbours is a must.
He is on foster with other dogs and loves to play with them although sometimes does go over the top, so your dog would have to be of the kind that will not react badly to this. Although a more dominant type dog that will put him in his place without aggression would do him some good i think. He is currently on foster with cats but is not great with them and will chase, thankfully his foster mum is an experienced fosterer and is trying to train him out of this, unfortunately we wont rehome Lewis to a home with cats unless the owners are extremely experienced with this problem and local so as introductions can be done slowly.
Lewis is good with most children but does seem to not like some teenage boys and this manifests itself in fear and barking at them, which can be scary, we feel Lewis will suit a home with no children or much older children who know how to deal with dogs like this . As you can see from the photo below he is fine with my 14 year old son.
He also will chase bikes and jump up at the people on them, his foster mum has been working with him on this and he has improved immensely but we must make sure any new home are aware that he may do this.
In all we are looking for an experienced home to take on Lewis and carry on the training his foster mum has put in so far with him.
All Hope Rescue dogs are neutered, vaccinated, wormed, flea treated and microchipped prior to rehoming. A homecheck will be required, and you will need to come and meet the dog with your own dogs and family.
