About me
Hi, I am Calais (yes like the car Holden Calais) so yes I am a pretty cool guy. Once you get to know me. You see I have come into pound and my anxiety is pretty high so my carers took me to the doctor and I am now on some medicine that helps to calm me down, I am a work in progress, a kind & gentle hand to help me through would be wonderful for me. My carers think that being in a home environment will help me a lot. I will need someone that wants to spend lots of time with me because time alone stresses me a little and I tend to chew my bedding, if you give me toys and treats and something to do while you are away and I am waiting for you to come back that would help a lot. I don’t mean to be like this but I was left abandoned and I don’t want that to happen to me again, I am hoping that someone is going to see all the sweet things my carers see, they call me such a sweetheart, I can be jumpy with my stress but I don’t mean any harm at all. I just want to be with you and I will calmly lay beside you (or sit on your lap), just knowing you are next to me is all I need. I have met a couple of dogs here and I get along with them just fine. Because I can be a bit jumpy older kids might be best so I don’t accidentally knock little ones over. If you have a dog at home please ask to bring them with you when you come to the pound so we can meet each other too.
Behaviour/temperament assessment
Was able to check teeth, pulled away when I squeezed paws, turned to look when tail pulled but was ok, struggled with a hug at first but then leaned in for more. Anxiety is high, need a home environment as soon as possible, pound like not for him.
