About Rab

Rab likes to live life to the full and is a complete whirlwind. He has no time to stop and his nose is always flat to the ground sniffing around. His ears don't work much :) They are just there for decoration. He would love to spend most of his days outdoors and his dream would be to find a hiking enthusiast that he can join on many fun new adventures.

Reason for Rehoming

Rab found himself looking for a new home through no fault of his own.

Health

Rab has past his health checks with the vet and has no known health conditions.

Training & Home Life

• Housetrained: No - This will need work as he will still pee in the home.
• Crate trained: Unknown - This is something his new owner could train him to be used to.
• Left alone: Unknown - He will need this build up from short periods.
• Lead walking: Rab pulls on the lead especially if he gets the scent of something interesting.
• Off lead: Not suitable unless in a fully secure dog park.
• Travelling: Travels well secured into boot of car.
• Escaping: Would need a fully secure garden with 6ft fencing.

Behaviour & Socialising

• People: Friendly and excitable - Can sometimes play hard to get if he smells something more interesting.
  
• Children: Has been around children of all ages.
• Dogs: Get on well but does lac manners and can be pretty full on.
• Cats: Has lived with previously but this would need to be done with careful introductions.

Sleeping Arrangements

Rab is still trying to find his feet and has lacked routine and stability previously. He will need to learn a safe place to call "bed" while currently still having accidents in the home it may be best he is in a smaller area with easy to clean flooring.
