More about Scrabble

Scrabble is a shy dog looking for a calm, patient and understanding home. Scrabble is very nervous and will need time, confidence‑building and consistency in his new home.

Scrabble can take a bit longer to feel comfortable and is more reserved in new environments. He can have a bark when he’s unsure but if he’s allowed to just make his own mind up, he’ll approach for a short sniff but takes longer to enjoy any hands on fuss, even from people he knows. He will need an adult‑only home that can read his body language well and give him space when needed. His new family will need to be willing to carry on training we have put in place for him to help him continue to build confidence.

Scrabble is social with dogs but is most comfortable with calm, steady dogs who respect his space. He could benefit from living with another dog that will help build his confidence. Scrabble has not shown much interest in toys but this may develop once he is settled in his new home. He will need time to settle into his new home first, but will enjoy short sniff walks in familiar places but is unlikely to be a hiking companion for longer walks and will need access to quieter walks close to his home.
