Meet Bugle who has just arrived in the UK having been rescued from a terrible shelter in Crete. He is a sweet natured lad who gets on well with other dogs.

He is adapting well to UK life. Everything is still a bit new for him, so he still needs time and consistency and will adapt well.  He is a quick learner and is a kind soul.

Bugle is fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. 

The decision to adopt a dog should not be taken lightly - we have had dogs returned as people have not been fully prepared for the hard work that can come. If you invest time and energy into the advice we give you, Bugle will adapt well. But please do not underestimate this can mean a few weeks of consistent work.

With the right boundaries and guidance he will easily adjust and make a great family pet. We ask our adopters to be 100% sure they are ready to commit to the training and hard work required.

Our foster home has provided the feedback below:

Dog's Name: Bugle

Where does Bugle sleep at night?
So far he has slept at the bottom of the bed. He is a very cuddly dog who has bonded really easily with us already.

How is Bugle with current pets?
Good. He fitted in with our current dogs straight away and there weren’t issues. He is desperate to play with them but they are much older then him so we have been playing with him. He has sniffed. the cat and is quite curious but there havn't been any issues so far.He is very quick to learn and is very food orientated. He loves the ham from the fridge and cheese and eats his dinner and breakfast with gusto.

Is Bugle clean indoors? 
Yes, Bugle is quick to learn. He loves praise and is starting to pick this up.

Can Bugle be left alone?
Yes.  He has built up and accepting nicely. He does prefer company but can be left.

Is Bugle good out on walks?
Yes he absolutely loves his walks and gets very excited. He goes out twice a day and would love an active household. He loves to chase the birds and run around. He is already starting to learn recall and although he races around he doesn't go that far. He is enjoying his freedom.

How does Bugle walk on the lead?
Very good on both long and short lead either with our dogs or alone. He only pulls initially to get going and then he is fine.

Has Bugle met with other dogs?
Yes. He was very good with them. He just wanted to play and was a little timid at first. He is not aggressive towards them at all, he is a very sweet natured dog.

How is Bugle with humans?
He loves human attention and to be loved and fussed. He wants to be right in the middle of everything. He totally loves life. He is a gentleman and a gentle soul.

Have you noticed if Bugle is afraid of any particular things?
Not really. He isnt afraid if traffic and has been confident most of the time. When he's is really scared his teeth chatter until he gets reassurance.  He’s a little wary of loud noises but he didn't mind the hoover. He  settled into our household straight away.

Any other useful information?
Bugle is a very sweet natured dog, there is no malice in him but he is a young fit male dog. He will need some basic training and so his new owners will needs to invest some time and effort with this but he is very keen to please and is a quick learner. He is very loyal and loves his toys.

What is Bugle''s ideal home?
Bugle needs a home where someone is around most of the day and preferably with another dog to play with. If he was on his own he would need a playmate of some sort.

He would be best in an active household or with someone who likes hiking or walking. Bugle is a very loyal dog. He loves to go in the car and just wants to come with you.

​He is such a sweet dog and so ready for his forever family. He needs a loving household who will give him the time and love he needs and make him part of the family.
