Hello

Meet 9 year old Obi, a sensitive boy with a heart of gold. He may weigh in at 30kg, but don't let his size fool you, as Obi has a warm and loving spirit that will melt your heart with his big brown eyes. We would really like to find this boy his fur-ever family very soon, as he has been so patiently waiting for a chance for over 500 days now and that's far too long to spend in kennels!

Obi is the epitome of a love bug. He may take a little bit of time to get to know you, but once he does, he'll be your faithful companion for life. He'd like an adult-only home (with no children) where he will be the only dog and the centre of attention. He is the king of his own little castle and would cope best as the only pet in the home.

Obi's not a big fan of strangers and chaos (but quite frankly, who is?!), so would like a calm and peaceful home that doesn't regularly have visitors. That said, during his time at LU, we have introduced him to multiple new people and he absolutely adored them! It's just important interactions like this are well managed by his family so Obi can come to realise visitors are a good thing and while he may need to be kept separate from them at first, we are hopeful he will enjoy positive interactions with people in time.

Obi walks well on his

harness and loves to explore new sights and smells. Walks in nature are a firm favourite, so if you live nearby a forest or big open fields, that's a big plus from Obi! He's not a fan of walkies where he might encounter traffic or lots of noise; he's a country boy through and through! Obi also travels really well in a car and in our LU van, with or without a crate.

Obi is fully house-trained, so his family won't need to worry about any little accidents! He also knows fun little tricks such as sit, paw, down and go to bed, and boy does he look like a cutie pie when he's doing them! Seriously, prepare for your heartstrings to be tugged at!! Training will be a rewarding experience for both Obi and his family as he is eager to please his human friends (as long as he gets his food payment!)

Obi is on medication for anxiety and pain, but we will be with you every step of the way to make sure the transition to his new home is as smooth as possible. We can also offer support with costs relating to this.

The family looking to adopt Obi will need to visit him a couple of times so he can get to know you and bond with you. If you think you might have just the setup this boy needs, please do get in touch by completing an enquiry form and get ready to fall for this loveable chap!
