Description
It breaks our hearts to be writing this, but Stanley is looking for a new home through absolutely no fault of his own. Due to a significant change in our family circumstances, we can no longer give him the time, attention, and consistency that he deserves.
Stanley is a 3-year, 3-month-old male Shih Tzu who is a loving and affectionate little dog with those he knows and trusts. He gets on well with other dogs and enjoys canine company. Once he has built a bond with you, he is a loyal companion and loves being close to his people.
However, we feel it is important to be completely honest about Stanley’s current behaviour. Over the past year, he has unfortunately gone backwards in several areas and will need an owner who is prepared to put time, patience, and commitment into helping him regain his confidence.
Stanley is extremely reactive towards strangers and will bark, jump up, and become overwhelmed when meeting new people. He is not aggressive, but he does struggle to cope with unfamiliar people and situations. He has also started having accidents in the house and will need ongoing support and training in this area.
For these reasons, Stanley would not be suitable for a home with small children, first-time dog owners, or someone looking for an easy, ready-made pet. He needs a calm, understanding home where he can be given clear boundaries, routine, and plenty of patience.
We cannot stress enough that Stanley will need time to settle and build trust. We truly believe that with the right owner, consistency, and understanding, he can become the happy, loving dog we know he is capable of being.
This decision has not been made lightly, and finding the right home is far more important to us than a quick sale. Stanley is not neutered.
If you feel you can offer Stanley the patient, experienced, and loving home he needs, please get in touch. Serious enquiries only.
