About This Dog

Nicky's ideal home

Absolute cuddle bug Nicky is a 5 year old Dobermann who loves to be snuggled up with his favourite people. Once he has a bond with you he will lean on you and nudge your hand for fusses, especially a good scratch behind the ears! Once he is done he will wander off on his own. He is a bit of a shadow, so will wander around with you and will sit right by your side whilst eating his treat or chew, he takes them very gently from the hand. This snuggler is ready to find his new family, could it be you?

Could you be Nicky's perfect match?

Nicky is looking for a calm and quiet home with adopters who can take him on sniffy adventures, who will take the time to help him settle in and give him all the love and attention he deserves. He is sweet boy, but is noise sensitive and finds loud noises very worrying, so is looking to live with older primary school children who are calm and will play nicely with him and will give him space to rest peacefully when needed. Nicky could live an established and calm dog who will happily co-exist and engage in occasional play, this will be pending successful meetings at the centre, living with another dog is not a necessity, he would be happy with polite and friendly walking buddies. Nicky has a little training under his belt, he does a lovely “sit” and is willing to engage in training with the help of a tasty treat and lots of praise. He is looking for a home with a private, secure garden with 6ft fencing for him to potter about and explore in at his leisure. Nicky can settle nicely in the home so could be left for up to 2-4 hours, this would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle into his new home. Nicky will need to meet his adopters a few times prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet him within 48hrs of being shortlisted.
