I have finally found a rescue staffy, who is perfect for our family!! This is Bosley he will be coming to live with us from Thursday. Could do with some advice though, he has been at a rescue for a while and is caged quite a lot, he is very overweight, some helpful food and exercise tips would be much appreciated!! I will keep everyone updated with his progress xx

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me

Start off with short walks and gradually increase the distance, I know it sounds so basic.

Do you know what he has been fed so far ? A good quality food will do wonders for his overall condition, a list of recommended foods below, could also add James Welbeloved to it:

Well done on finding him, he's a stunner! Long lines are great but we also use a flexi lead which is great to use one handed. I would also keep using a cage, at least for the time being. If you feed dry use some of his daily allowance for training.

The lady who I got him from runs a rescue centre from her home, she only feeds him food with no additives preservatives or flavourings but she has taken in 21 dogs who were due to be put to sleep so they are not getting enough exercise xx

As said already a good quality food and plenty of exercise (built up gradually) will get him into condition in no time x
