Archie

Archie – 9 year old male Cross-Breed is a small/medium dog who can live with cats, calmer dogs, and children aged 12 and above. He is based in East Sussex. Archie is a gentle and affectionate dog who enjoys human company when he knows them. He can be reactive to visitors, so he should be given a separate safe space and calmly introduced to new people. Archie enjoys gentle walks and is easy on the lead. He likes to amble and sniff, doesn’t really pull, and has been calm around traffic and everyday noises. He knows basic cues such as his name, “come,” and “sit.” He can react to some dogs but will listen to commands to continue walking normally. Archie spent time with other dogs in kennels and has been fine with them, as well as a dog in his foster home who he gets along with really well. He would do best with another calm dog, with sensible introductions. He has not lived with cats but showed no interest when walked past a cattery, so may be able to live with dog-savvy cats after careful introductions. Archie hasn’t lived with children, but based on his calm, older-gentleman temperament, calm older children may be appropriate following slow introductions. A quieter home would suit him best. In kennels, Archie was calm and settled. In his foster home, he is toilet trained, non-destructive, okay being left for up to 6 hours during the day, and sleeps well overnight. He travels well in the backseat of the car. Archie’s foster says: “In general, Archie is placid. Sleeps a lot. Loves tummy rubs, head scratching, and shoulder massages.” Select CountyAvonBedfordshireBerkshireBordersBuckinghamshireCambridgeshireCentralCheshireClevelandClwydCornwallCounty AntrimCounty ArmaghCounty DownCounty FermanaghCounty LondonderryCounty TyroneCumbriaDerbyshireDevonDorsetDumfries and GallowayDurhamDyfedEast SussexEssexFifeGloucestershireGrampianGreater ManchesterGwentGwynedd CountyHampshireHerefordshireHertfordshireHighlands and IslandsHumbersideIsle of ManIsle of WightKentLancashireLeicestershireLincolnshireLondonLothianMerseysideMid GlamorganMiddlesexNorfolkNorth YorkshireNorthamptonshireNorthumberlandNottinghamshireOxfordshirePowysRutlandShropshireSomersetSouth GlamorganSouth YorkshireStaffordshireStrathclydeSuffolkSurreyTaysideTyne and WearWarwickshireWest GlamorganWest MidlandsWest SussexWest YorkshireWiltshireWorcestershire
