Errol, Staffie x, DOB 11.08



His Story: Found stray in Wales and unclaimed.

Salient points: Young Staffie x with a gentle temperament. Unassessed in a domestic situation. Responsive to training.

Advert: Errol is a young healthy Staffie cross who has come to us and won our hearts. He is smart in 'dress' and 'manners'. Very endearing character. He is clean in his kennel and walks along side dogs nicely. Good in the car. In fact seems to really love dogs. Neutered and just going through vax. A true favourite with our voluntary dog walkers.

Errol is looking for a "fun life" with a good sized secure garden and lots of affection to give and receive. May be a Lab. Cross or Patterdale cross. Sooo much the charmer. To meet is to fall in love. Currently kennelled in Farnham, Surrey.

"Please note that this dog is currently in kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found".

An update on Errol from one of our volunteers who gave him some time out of kennels:



“The gorgeous Errol has continued to do really well, he has settled and found his feet and just continues to be such a joy to know.



I took him to the vets today to have his castrate wound checked and to have his second vax. He jumped into the crate in the boot as good as gold, but did want to chat all the way to the vets!



Once there he needed to say 'hi' to everybody and get up onto the window sill to check out the passing world. He gave a couple of cats a cursory glance, but no more. His wound has healed well and he had his second vax. He also had a general check over - heart, throat, ears, eyes, teeth, all in tip top condition. I did ask the vet to guesstimate his age and he said between 6 - 8 months, no more than 8months.



I know aging a dog cannot be an exact science, but putting his age so much younger really does make sense, he has the most gorgeous set of gnashers - startling white, and his manner can be very puppyish. Now he has found his feet and feels comfortable with both Janet and me, he has come out of his shell and revealed a wonderful playful character, really eager to please. Putting his age so much younger really makes everything fit just right.



He was very quiet in the car on the way back and I should I known, I should have known! I always leave the handle of the lead outside the crate so I can hold onto it before opening the crate. I dutifully did so only to find when he hopped out that once again with Errol, I was holding a lead with no dog attached to the other end! Oops! This time he had chewed clean through a very good lead - I was even tempted to look for scissors in the crate! Luckily for me, once again I called him and he ran back for a cuddle. At this rate, he is going to get me fired!



If he is as young as we think he might be, some family is going to strike it so lucky. He is an absolute gem - loves the world, both people and other dogs, is so eager to please and really, really affectionate. He could blend so perfectly into a family right now and be trained to be the best dog ever :o)



We brought Errol home to meet our 2 today. Before meeting our dogs, I took him for a walk on the common and met a lively Staffie x JRT. It had a couple of pops at him - Errol took no notice at all and I was very proud of him. Then we met another small JRT and they played together beautifully for a while. It was great to watch. Both owners were very impressed with Errol and made a big fuss of him.



We then met Paddy and Bella and as you can see from the photos, no problems at all walking and taking treats together. When we got inside the house, Errol was very laid back, but Paddy was a bit growly so we decided not to spoil a lovely day out for Errol and kept them separate. We had a cup of tea and a cuddle with him and he fell asleep in the car on the way back. Can't say enough good things about this lovely boy”.

Hardly surprising, but ... Errol found his forever home!

Way to go Errol, he's a stunner!
