Dennis is a 5 year old male Boxer Cross. He is a handsome, stocky boy with a silky, brown coat and part white face. He has beautiful, soulful eyes. We believe he could be part boxer. Although this cannot be seen in his face, he has a very similar build to a boxer. Dennis came to the shelter in Portugal a short while ago, after being removed from his owner because was being allowed to roam free and had been chasing sheep (thinking it was a fun game!).
Dennis really doesn’t like the shelter at all, he likes his freedom to run and so we are looking for a new home with a decent sized garden for him. Sadly, we cannot allow him to roam freely in the recreation area because we are concerned he may try to escape as he is so unhappy poor boy.
Dennis absolutely loves his walks and to check out all the new smells. Now he gets very excited when he goes out. He is starting to respond to a routine and is a really lovable, friendly boy but it is obvious he is very sad at the shelter. Who wouldn’t be after having a comfortable home?
Whoever falls in love with Dennis would need to understand that he cannot be left alone in a garden at least for the first weeks, until they are sure he’s settled, happy and bonded with his new family. He also should never be off a lead near livestock. Dennis would need to be on a lead, maybe an extendable, for sometime until he learnt how to stay close.
Whoever is prepared to help Dennis will, I’m sure, be well rewarded as he is so loyal and attentive once he knows you love him. He is a friendly, steady boy who had a home and has now found himself in the shelter. Current location is in a foster home in Portugal can travel to the UK once he has a home to go to in December.
Adoption Fee : £225 – to be paid direct to the Portuguese rescue to cover travel costs via UK bank account.
