Owen’s story began in heartbreaking circumstances. He was one of several dogs rescued from a home that had become unmanageable for his elderly owner, who was struggling with mental health difficulties. Though never intentionally mistreated, the dogs went without the care and stability they needed. When Owen first arrived, he was underweight, unsure, and clearly hadn’t experienced much handling or socialisation.

Since then Owen has found himself in foster where he is learning all about homelife and this handsome boy has made incredible progress. With love, patience, and reassurance, Owen’s confidence has truly blossomed. Once a worried boy, he’s now full of life and joy. He absolutely loves his walks, trotting along happily with his tail wagging.

Owen is a big, bouncy lad with the kindest heart. He’s playful, affectionate, and loves spending time with both people and dogs. He’s been enjoying playdates with other dogs although, he can be a little cautious at first, but it doesn’t take him long to warm up and start bounding around in delight. Owen can be quite mouthy, especially in play and so for this reason he will be looking for an adult only home with no visiting children.

He’s now ready to find a forever home where he can continue to thrive. Owen could live as an only dog with adopters who are around most of the time, or he could share his home with a kind, confident resident dog who can continue to show him the ropes. As he’s never lived in a home before, his adopters will need to be patient and gentle as he learns about house training and adjusts to home life. Because of his size, a very secure garden with high fencing is essential. He is quite worried about children and finds them a little overwhelming, so will be best suited to an adult only home.

Owen has come such a long way, and it’s been a joy to watch his personality shine through. He’s a sweet, loving boy who deserves a family of his own, a calm, caring home where he’ll be cherished for the wonderful companion he’s become.
