Hi everyone,
My parents are going to see a dog tomorrow to potentially re-home him. They are both retired so have the time for a dog. The dog has been rescued by one of those centres which brings dogs from abroad. He was came from Spain bless him.
A year ago he went to a family who didn't have the time to spend with him to socialise him, he came from a dog home and not been around people much.
He is very anxious and timid apparently. Tbh I think the family he is with were reckless with their decision to what to rehome him. They had a one year old and was heavily pregnant so not exactly a wise decision😬
He isn't used to go on walks and only goes out into the garden with the lady who owns him. He has come on a lot since they got him and ok with kids.
But my concern is if he can be socialised at 3 years old and capable of being trained to go for walks. We have the patience to get him to where he needs to be as he looks lovely and deserves a happy life full of love. But we obviously don't want a dog who is afraid of people, won't go outside or go for walks despite our best efforts.
Any advice please?
