About Lonzo
Yet another beautiful retriever type boy in our care, this is Lonzo! He was found without a collar or microchip, wandering the outskirts of Nicosia looking for food and water. When he arrived at the shelter he was quite withdrawn and anxious, but within a day we saw a completely different character emerge. He’s now a very happy, friendly and sociable boy, and settling into his UK foster home impressively well.
Lonzo is estimated to be around 1-2 years old, so still quite a young dog who will need some focus and training in a new home. He absolutely loves people and believes everyone is his bestie. He loves any kid of attention and is a very sociable boy who loves to please people.
Lonzo’s foster family describe him as funny, very friendly, and a little bit dopey! He loves his bed, is a sucker for a belly rub, and just wants to be involved in everything. He is an excitable, enthusiastic boy and he does need some training on his manners as h can be quite jumpy, but he doesn’t mean to cause any bother - he is just always on a mission to make new friends. Because of this, we think he would be better suited to a home with children aged 10+ so he doesn’t knock anyone over, as he is a strong dog.
Lonzo is still getting to grips with lead training, and gets very excited to go outside. After around 15 minutes he really calms down and walks well on the lead, so it will just take a bit of continued training and consistency. On walks he is happy to say hello to anyone and everyone, dogs and people.
Lonzo is looking for a semi-rural home with a garden and an active lifestyle. He would prefer an away from busy roads and lots of noise, and wouldn’t enjoy being left at home alone for extended periods of time. He very much wants to be involved and in good company, as he’s people oriented, and he loves being outdoors, exploring. He is also a complete water baby and loves to splash about! We don’t think that he needs another dog at home to help him settle, but equally he’d be happy having another dog to play with and spend time with too.
Lonzo is a fantastic character and anyone who adopts him will be very lucky to welcome him into the family. He is big and bouncy, but also has a huge heart and such a willingness to learn. He’s smart, incredibly loyal, and will truly make the best friend given the opportunity.
