Velvet: A Bright Little Soul Learning to Shine

Velvet arrived to us from a breeder and has now found himself in foster, where he is blossoming into a bright, affectionate little chap. He has come on beautifully in just a short time — he already knows his name, comes when called, sits on command, and is happily walking on a harness and lead in the garden. While still a little unsure about being picked up, once in your arms he settles quickly and is very easy to handle.

Velvet is currently being carried on short walks to gently introduce him to the outside world, and once his vaccinations are complete, he’ll benefit from slow, positive socialisation around traffic, sounds, and new experiences. He absolutely adores other dogs and is often found snuggled up with his canine companions in foster. He’d thrive in a home with at least one kind, confident resident dog, but would also be happy in a multi-dog household.

Having been in foster for a week now, we feel Velvet could live with dog-savvy teenagers who will be calm and gentle with him. His once-mucky ears are now clean, and although he has a thickening on one of his ears, possibly caused by a haematoma, this needs no treatment and is causing no problems.

Velvet will still need patient adopters who can help him adjust to home life and continue his training and socialisation. He’s a super little pup with so much love to give and, with continued care and kindness, will grow into a loyal and happy companion.
