This is Albert who has just arrived in the UK having been rescued with Cookie from a sad life in a Crete shelter.
Albert has spent most of his life confined to a kennel, no grass, no walks, no kind hands. Just waiting for life to change, always hopeful. Well now life has changed and he is loving his new life in the UK.

Albert is happy, sociable, playful, he is fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. 

Albert is a good natured lad who is very sociable. He has only know life in the shelter so his new family will need to help him adapt to life in a domestic environment and to the new sites and sounds in his new country. We ask our adopters to be 100% sure they are ready to commit to the training and work which will be required.

With the right boundaries and guidance Albert will all easily adjust and make a great family pet.
