Nicholas – 5 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Hello, my name is Nicolas, I am a 5 year old male, Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I arrived at the Mayhew after being abandoned and injured.

I am now in a foster home and my foster mum and dad say I am the sweetest boy without a mean bone in my body. I do enjoy going out and am very good on lead, no pulling! I am very polite with other dogs I meet and if any of them come on too strong, I just take it in my stride. I enjoy travelling in the car and I’m well behaved on journeys, especially if I can look out of the window and watch everything that is going on. I also enjoy pottering about in the garden and playing ball with my foster mum and dad.

I am a bit wobbly on my back legs because I have a condition called hip dysplasia, although I still enjoy going for my two thirty minute walks in the park everyday. I have really benefited from taking supplements and pain killers, though I never complain. I have a very sweet nature and love the company of people and children of all ages. I am completely clean in the house and love to put my paws up and relax in my special chair. I’m a vocal boy, liking the sound of my own voice I will bark to get my foster mum or dad’s attention, although I’m beginning to learn that the way to earn a nice long cuddle or a game of fetch is to be a quiet calm boy. Although I don’t like being left alone I am never destructive and I don’t mess but I do whimper as I can get quite anxious on my own. Happily my foster parents are very patient and are teaching me to spend time alone gradually.

I am now looking for a forever home with some special people who are at home for most of the day and have the patience to show me that I am safe and loved and continue to work on my separation anxiety. I would fit perfectly into a family or make an ideal companion for a retired couple or someone who works from home and is around most of the time. I would be happy to live with another mature and secure dog providing we were a good match.
My new guardians will be taking on a ten year commitment which must not be taken lightly but if you want a boy who loves to snuggle up with you, is easy to walk and adores people of all ages, I’m the boy for you.

I hope to see you soon

Nicolas
