Description
☁️ A world of shadows:
Ned needs a hero to be his eyes and his safe place. ☁️
When you look at Ned, you see a stunning, fluffy boy with a beautiful bushy tail and a quirky eye patch. You see a survivor who was found freezing and broken at the side of the road, and who fought his way back to health.
But when Ned looks at the world, he sees something very different.
Ned is partially sighted due to an infection before he was even born. To him, a cyclist, a running child, or a sudden movement isn't just "life" … it might be terrifying, fast-moving shadow. And because he is scared, his instinct is to protect himself.

❤️ The Ned You Will Know
Once the front door is closed and the world is shut out,
Ned is pure love.❤️
He is a devoted, affectionate soulmate who wants nothing more than to snuggle on the sofa with you. He waits by the door for your return, ready to cover you in licks (he loves to lick your ears!).
He is incredibly clever—he sits without being asked, knows "paw," "bed," and "wait," and is fully house-trained. He is a gentle giant who takes treats softly and just wants to be near his human.
Ned is a guardian breed dog who can get overwhelmed .
🩵 Ned is wary of people he doesn't know. But with slow introductions is absolutely fine
He has on two occasions In the past, when frightened or handled unexpectedly, nipped, which resulted in bruising, so he needs slow introductions and space.
💙 Ned wears a muzzle on walks. He is perfectly happy to wear it (especially for a treat!), but it is essential because he can lunge at triggers like some dogs, bikes or children
🩵 Ned gets very anxious about sharing his resources, so he needs to be the only Prince in the palace. No other pets.
Although he does currently live with another dog ( elderly lab ) and a cat
💙🩵His Perfect World🩵💙
* Ned is looking for a quiet life where he doesn't have to be brave all the time. A rural semi rural home
* Adults Only: A single person or a couple. No children or visiting grandchildren, please.
* A Sanctuary Garden: Ned needs a large, secure garden. He loves his "zoomies" to burn off steam …
However, when he is in "zoomie mode," he gets very over-excited and can nip if you get in his way… so he needs a garden big enough where you can stand back and let him have his fun safely.
* We are looking for someone with guardian breed experience
Someone who understands a muzzle is a tool for safety, not shame.
Ned is not a "park dog" or a "pub dog." He is a loyal, loving companion for a quiet home. He has been through so much, and he just needs someone who understands him …
Are you the one to help him feel safe?
