Dogs, Adopters, Dog behaviour
Plum is a handsome lurcher with a gentle and sensitive nature who is looking for a calm, understanding home where he can settle at his own pace. He can find new situations overwhelming and may be cautious around unfamiliar people at first, but with patience and a predictable routine, he has the potential to grow in confidence. He would be best suited to owners who have experience with nervous dogs and who can provide him with the time and support he needs as he adjusts to home life.
Plum enjoys the company of other dogs and is currently looking for a home with a calm, social canine companion who can help him feel more secure. On walks, he enjoys taking in the world through sniffing and exploring.
At home, Plum enjoys playing independently with soft toys and appreciates a gentle, low-pressure approach. As he becomes more comfortable and gains confidence, his behaviour may change and develop, so his new family should be prepared to support him through this journey and celebrate the progress he makes along the way. He is looking for a patient, committed home that will allow his lovely personality to shine.
