Sydney

Stunning Sydney is a shy, sensitive soul with so much love to give. He can be nervous when meeting new people but he quickly makes friends when given time, space and a few treats. He can get worried by loud noises and busy environments when out and about so will need an owner who will provide him with reassurance and guidance where needed. He would suit someone with the time and patience to build up his confidence around new experiences and environments and help him become a more well adjusted dog. Sydney's personality is beginning to shine through as he comes out of his shell, he is looking for a home where he can flourish and be his full lovely self.

Other Notes

Sydney can live with dog confident children from 14 years of age upwards, provided they give him space when needed. He could potentially live with a calm, large breed adult dog, subject to a successful meet at Mayhew. Sydney would ideally suit a home in a more rural or semi rural location due to his sensitivities around noise and traffic. Before arriving at the Mayhew, Sydney had a fracture of his right hock that was repaired with a plate and screws. Sydney has been microchipped, neutered and vaccinated and is up to date with flea & worming treatment. He has also been health checked and behaviourally assessed. Lastly, every dog adopted from us will go home with 4 weeks free pet insurance.
