CHASE **RESERVED**

Meet Chase 🐾

Chase is a lovely 4-year-old Standard Bull Terrier who has been with his family since puppyhood. He is friendly, affectionate and loves attention. Once he knows you, he is very cuddly and will happily roll over for fuss.

Chase is looking for a new home because he is struggling to live alongside another male dog. The two dogs have been involved in fights, and although the family currently manages the situation by keeping them separated, this is not sustainable long term. They feel Chase would be happier in a settled home where he can receive more individual attention and the time and support he needs.

Chase is generally friendly and affectionate with people. He has lived with older children and is good with them, but an adult-only or older-children home would be most suitable, as he can be excitable and likes to jump up.

Chase was previously relaxed around other dogs, but more recently he has started barking when he sees them while on lead. His family feel this may have developed after medication for a previous skin condition. He has never been allowed off lead, so his behaviour around dogs off lead is unknown. His new home will need to be experienced, patient and prepared to take introductions slowly while continuing his training and socialisation.

Chase has not had extensive formal training, as his family have not had the time to provide the additional support he needs. He will benefit from adopters who are committed to helping him build confidence and develop good walking and social skills.

There is no known bite history and no reported food-guarding behaviour. Chase is polite around his food, sitting and waiting before eating. He enjoys toys, particularly sturdy toys and Kongs, and is generally happy to entertain himself.

Chase is used to having someone at home for much of the day. He currently has his own room with a bed and television and can be left for around three hours at a time before needing a break. He has a settled routine that includes regular toilet breaks, meals and time with his family throughout the day.

Chase has previously experienced skin problems, which cleared up with Apoquel. His family believe he may now be due a vaccination. He is neutered and microchipped and is good to handle at the vets.

Chase has never lived with cats or been around small furries, so a home without small animals is required.

Chase is looking for:

● An experienced Bull Terrier home.

● Preferably an only-dog household.

● An adult-only home or one with older children.

● Adopters with the time and commitment to continue his training.

● A patient home prepared to work on his recent reactivity towards dogs.

● A home without cats or small furries.

● Plenty of love, attention and, of course, cuddles.

Chase’s family want him to have the happy, settled life he deserves. They have asked to receive updates about how he is doing, and we are looking for adopters who can give him the time, patience and guidance he needs to thrive.
