Hello

Meet Howie – LU's very own jumping jack!

Let’s just say, if Howie was in the Olympics, he’d be a high jumper because when he leaps into the air, he achieves some serious height!

Not much phases this easy-going chap; he’s a real gem! Although he can sometimes be a little nervous at first (mainly with men) in general, Howie loves his people and will happily place his trust in them.

Howie is also one smart dude! He knows so many tricks and loves nothing more than showing them off to an audience. We’ve already mentioned his jumping jacks, which it’s fair to say are pretty much part of his daily routine at the kennels, but he can do lots of other things too; his meercat impression being perhaps the cutest of the lot!

Howie is a foodie at heart, so teaching him new things is a breeze. He’s eager to please and is always up for some affection and cuddles, so would make the perfect companion for anyone looking for a really loyal, furry pal!

Howie gets on well with most other dogs and is a real social butterfly, it’s just the male, in tact doggos that he doesn’t really take to.

Howie went for a sleepover with Toby and Lauren from the team and had an absolute blast. It was all new and exciting for him, so he was a little hyper, but they all had lots of fun, the highlight of the evening

being when Howie took it upon himself to rearrange the cushions on their sofa!

What type of home does Howie need?
- An experienced, adult-only home with people who are patient and understanding that sometimes he might be a little jumpy at certain things- it’s partly excitement, but he can also be a tad scared of the unknown too!
- A home without kiddies please- Howie needs to be an only child 😊
- A lovely garden (this is a must for his playful nature) and a home in a rural or semi-rural area that he can explore.

With his playful personality and endless love to give, Howie will bring out anyone's inner child, along with all the laughter and fun that comes with it! If you would like to get to know Howie, please complete an enquiry form and we will be in touch.
