RESCUE Pocket Bully Male

Description

Adonis is back up due to being let down last minute.

NO CHILDREN UNDER 13, NO DOGS, RELAXED LIFESTYLE IS A MUST

Contract to be signed, home to be checked and vetted. All going well he can leave this weekend.

Bit of background

I took on a litter of 4 American bully puppies from an incompetent breeder. I have since rehoused 3 puppies. We are left with Adonis, who will be 12 weeks old on Tuesday.

He came to us with a very bad bacterial infection mainly affecting his face (the fur is growing back!) and spent 2 weeks on steroids and antibiotics. Sadly, when going to a most recent check up and for his first vaccination the vets confirmed he has a heart murmur, and has stunted growth due to the steroids.

We are advised that because Adonis is alert, playful, excitable, eating and behaving normal he is currently not a worry. He recovers well from play and also has good stamina. They have stated as he grows this could partially fix itself, as he is now off of steroids and has been for 2 weeks so hopefully he will start to grow properly and become stronger.

That being said, a dog with a heart murmur needs a certain lifestyle. He needs a slow, “boring” and calm life. No long walks, minimal to no high exertion exercise, a quality diet and life long weight management to ensure the best life for him.

We have put in a lot of socialisation early to try and make sure he is “bomb” proof and would like this to be continued into his teenage and adult life so that he has minimal to no chance of become reactive/unmanageable outside of the home.

Some things we work on:

- fire works
- cars
- cats
- dogs
- children
- people
-grabbing/touching while eating
- vet “practice examination”

With the fireworks going on he has not even batted an eyelid.

He is a biddable, food motivated and eager to please puppy. He is sassy and will talk back, tell you how he feels and protest. But he will also curl up next to you and watch blue planet or sea look with a paw touching. He will wiggle his whole body whenever he sees you and he will always make you laugh.

I understand that this is a big commitment, but I ensure he is worth it. He will be great for a single person or couple, he needs to be spoiled and loved heavily. He is not a pet, he truly believes he is a baby and loves to be involved with everything (even when you’re showering/bathing). He *could* grow into a very strong dog, though he will be small with his current stature we expect him to be very stocky and muscular. He is currently about the height of a coke can.

I would like to be kept updated with him, and I am offering free training for life in exchange. Contract to be signed & application process to be completed. He will come with everything he needs to get started in his new home.

Very small adoption fee £200

We are based in Chester Le Street, Co Durham.
