More about Angus

Angus is a lively and exuberant Pug cross who is based at Battersea Old Windsor.

When Angus is around, you can’t help but smile. He is full of fun and mischief and finds it hard to stay still – there’s always something exciting to be doing or exploring. He will need some further support and management with some behaviours that we have seen consistently both here at Battersea and in his foster home, but he is very bright and picks up training quickly.

Angus is currently spending some time in a temporary foster home. He has settled in and is certainly keeping his foster carers on their toes with his antics. He travels well in the car and engages well with his training, which his foster carers are doing regularly to help keep his mind and body occupied.

Angus loves playing with his toys, especially tennis balls and soft squeaky ones. Sometimes he can find toys and food too exciting and has displayed some resource guarding behaviour around these, so his owners will need to manage this.

Angus has found being in busy households overwhelming, which can lead to him getting over excitable and finding it hard to relax. He needs a consistent, calm home. We know that Angus isn’t comfortable around younger children, so he cannot live with young children and wouldn't cope with regular visiting ones either. He also bonds very quickly and so needs a home with more than one person so that he does not become reliant on one person for company.

He is looking to be the only dog in his new home as he has shown some intolerance towards some other dogs and prefers his own space. He can interact with calmer, independent dogs but new owners should not force him to interact with dogs if he chooses not to.

Angus is a quirky boy with a fun personality who loves interacting with people. He also does a great smile! Angus is work in progress but will be a rewarding project.
