Benji ; Now adopted

Benji the Cavapoo is seeking a Foster home with a view to adopt

Please read fully before submitting your application form

Benji is located in Derbyshire ,we will expect the fosters to carry our several visits if they own a dog.

This gorgeous young boy is looking for a Foster home with a view to adopt,his owner adores him tremendously ,but are not managing his everyday needs.

Benji’s owner has personal issues in her life ,and feels Benji is not getting all he requires.

He needs regular walks,some stimulation,lots of rest in between and the most important aspect socialising and training.

He is very quick to learn and would thrive in an active home ,with people whom are willing to support him,with Doodle Aid on hand as support.

Benji has never been left for any long periods of time,and when left he will bark and scratch doors.This is something that will need addressing ,with time love and patience.

We all have to remember Benji is still only a puppy,still a bit mouthy,and tends to jump up when excited.

We are looking for a Foster home with Fosters willing to put in the time to train him,to take him to appointments,vets ,groomers etc.

Persons who are at home ,and can walk him regularly on his lead,give him stimulation and help with his separation anxiety.

Would suit active household,that enjoy the great outdoors as Benji is a little pocket rocket full of energy and beans.

We are happy for him to be Fostered with “ONE”other dog ,or as a “ONLY “but the Fosters we request are experienced dog owners.

Can go with children over the age of 12 but the parents need to be aware Benji still jumps up.

No cats in the home

As stated persons at home ,this is very important

Safe and secure garden,not communal

If you have any day trips or holidays planned please state on the Foster form

Grooming Requirements

Benji has a super soft wavy coat ,it’s becoming more curly as growing into an adult.

Minamally sheds all dogs shed some amount.

Dislikes being brushed so this would need to be worked upon,using some tasty snacks.

Attends a Professional Groomers every 8 weeks.

This would be arranged with Doodle Aid whilst in Foster care

Exercise

Benji is not getting the exercise required this is where his owner is struggling.

We like the Fosters to take him out for more walks throughout the day.

None of our Foster dogs should be allowed off lead for safety reasons.

Benji is learning his recall and at this stage,his owners state he is good.

We are happy for Fosters to hire a paddock to work on recall and training ,this must be cleared with us firstly if you like us to pay.

Benji will pull on his lead,again some loose lead training will be needed going forward.

Can be wary around larger dogs whilst out,if they bark at him he gets nervous,this is more than likely due to not being out and about much.

General Information

Benji is your typical fun loving,attention seeking,happy bouncy doodle,full of energy and wants your full attention all the time.

As stated he gets very excited and will jump up,and may puppy mouth.

He is non aggressive just does not know his boundaries ,and still exploring with his mouth not with intent.

He can be a bit of a monkey with guarding his own food ,and we will state no long lasting treats as he may guard them too.

These are all simple things to manage going forward,you would just need to be prepared to help him manage these situations ,and be sensible with food around him.

Benji lives with an older dog ,but the older dog cannot cope with the constant annoying puppy behaviour.

The older dog will just go off and will not give him any warning signs to say that’s enough.

He would better with a dog that’s has experienced living with an energetic puppy,so please take this into consideration.

Or he can live as an only dog

Will counter surf,please keep kitchen workspace clear as you can

Benji is toilet trained and will bark when he needs to go out.

Like with any rescue dog we also state there might be no accidents or a few ,every dog is different entering a strange environment.

He sleeps in the kitchen at night but gets distressed on his own.

We would advise the Fosters to spend time with him at night until settled.

When a very young puppy he did chew a few items,as getting older he has not done this since.Not saying he will not chew things as you never know with any dogs.

He is not crate trained,and if considering crate training this takes time

Benji travels well in the car ,we like him in a safe harness strapped in the seatbelt.

He has never been in contact with water,so unknown if he likes swimming

Favourite games are playing fetch with his ball.

Once you have read all the important information we are happy to start taking applications,just because you see a cute puppy photo there’s more than just a photo to think about.

You have to be fully committed in fostering and giving this sweet boy some much needed training.

All expenses will be honoured by our charity,if you need anything please do contact us firstly as we can arrange to get anything requested as and when you need it for Benji.

We will give support with a fully qualified Dog Trainer if necessary,never struggle we are always here for support .

Doodle Aid is here to support Fosters and Benji so do not hesitate to contact us.

All potential foster homes will be subjected to a full vetting and homecheck

If you live in a rented property we will request documentation that a dog can live in this property.

CLOSED.

Thank you
