Description
Ajay is on the hunt for a forever home that he can call his own. He is looking for understanding and patient owners who could help him loose the weight he desperately needs, he also needs a home where someone around most of the time, especially when he is first settling in.
Ajay arrived with us at a whopping 50.8kg (8 stone) which is at least 15kg heavier than he should be and due to this Ajay has been struggling with his joints. You can tell this big softie would love to run around and play but due to his weight he cannot. We have been giving Ajay veggies as treats which he absolutely loves especially carrots, blueberries and cucumber!
He does have a mischievous cheeky side which shows when he is stealing your shoes to be chased around. This big goofball is a friendly boy but can sometimes forget his size so would be best suited to a household over 12 years, just to make sure that Ajay would have someone who could observe his body language.
Recently we have taken Ajay to the beach which he absolutely loved and really showed how much he likes water; he even took one of our staff for a dip!
We are currently testing Ajay with other dogs and he has shown that he is very playful and non reactive. Due to Ajay not being socialised properly before, he would need someone who is prepared to put a bit of training in with him to show him appropriate play. Ajay would need to be the only dog in the house due to him needing one to one training for socialisation. It is vital that Ajay’s weight loss is continued after he is rehomed as his poor joints are suffering with his weight and he would love to be able to do activities that he is currently unable to do due to the strain. Ajay can be slightly wary of men when first meeting them however warms up quite quickly but he absolutely loves the ladies.
