PLEASE READ THIS WRITE UP CAREFULLY AND ONLY APPLY IF YOU MEET ALL THE CRITERIA. YOU MUST HAVE ANOTHER YOUNG, PLAYFUL, NEUTERED DOG IN YOUR HOME WE WILL NOT CONSIDER HOMING HIM AS A SINGLE DOG FOR REASONS EXPLAINED.
Hudson is a 9 month old Goldendoodle, he is castrated, microchipped, flea and worm treated and vaccinated. He weighs around 19kg currently. He has a clean bill of health and will be rehomed with 5 weeks free pet insurance.
Hudson came to us along with lots of other pups from a puppy farm where a colleague of ours helped get them out. They arrived smelly, skinny and very under socialised. All of the boys are very kissy and sweet and desperate to be loved but have varying degrees of nervousness that has come a long way but will still need work and input in their new forever homes. It would be ideal if you had previous experience of these types of ex puppy farm dogs. Hudson is one of the shyest of the group and is still wary of being approached and touched so needs a VERY understanding home.
Hudson is a super happy, shy, funny and super playful boy with his canine friends, he can be a bit of a monkey getting into mischief and is the instigator in finding things to steal and rip up! One of his favourites is seeing whats in the washing up bowl and he's partial to a washing up sponge :)
He totally relies on other dogs for confidence as that's all he has ever known so it's imperative that he has at least one other similar sized dog in his forever home, they will need to be neutered, young enough to play a lot with him (he loves a game of wrestling and chase) and confident and well rounded enough to help him learn all about normal life, another lab type would be perfect.
Hudson is very loving sweet but still shy with us at the rescue and is still wary if we try and approach him rather than him come to us, he has a lovely nature though, absolutely no malice BUT anyone new will be extra scary for him and it will take him time to get to know you and even approach you initially so you need to understand that, be patient and be prepared to build on that trust. He may need a couple of visits from you before he can come to a new home so might be best if you are more local to us.
Hudson has lacked any sense of a normal life before coming here, he lives in the house here with the other dogs and has learnt about some household noises such as washing machines etc, he is now mostly housetrained (except for an accident overnight) but this may of course take a little step back initially in a new home so you should be prepared for that.
He is really enjoying having balls and toys to play with but it's all a bit of a novelty and he is a pup so he can be destructive with them so tough toys are best. They seem to love a big rope toy.
He does still have a safe smaller world here as he gets to run on our own land, as such he still doesn't know how to walk on a lead in a public place and this is going to be a slower process to build up his confidence. In the meantime he needs a home with a nice sized, secure garden that he can play in with his new canine pal.
Hudson was very scared, but a good boy at the vets, he travels in the car in a safe crate. He sleeps downstairs quietly at night with the other dogs and has no separation anxiety or issues around food or toys with people or other dogs. He eats really well and still eats very quickly as he clearly wasn't used to having regular or much food previously. He takes treats really nicely.
Hudson will need a home where he won't be left for too long in the day, he can live with dog savvy children aged 10yrs and over, he ignores our livestock here and shows no malice towards cats so could learn to live with a dog savvy feline.
Hudson is being fostered in Swadlincote, South Derby's but can be rehomed further afield subject to home check and adoption donation of £300
