Ice is a 10-month-old Staffy cross who is affectionate, intelligent, and very people-focused once he feels comfortable. He settles well in the home, enjoys relaxing on the sofa, and is used to having calm downtime after exercise. He is currently in his adolescent phase and can be sensitive to unfamiliar people and dogs, so he needs a calm, structured environment with clear boundaries. He does best with slow introductions and prefers not to be approached directly at first — once he has had time to observe and sniff at his own pace, he relaxes and can be very friendly and affectionate. Ice is not suitable for homes with other dogs or small animals at this stage, as he can be reactive, particularly with intact male dogs. For this reason, I am looking for a solo care setting where he can have space and not be expected to interact with other pets. He walks well and enjoys quiet, low-pressure walks where he can explore and sniff. He is used to being guided away from situations that feel too intense and responds well to calm handling. At home, he can be playful and enjoys toys, but also needs support to switch off when overtired. He is “closed room trained” for rest periods and sleeps well overnight. He has also been to day care from 16 weeks until 10 months and has thrived there however now I am moving towards more structured 1-1 care which suits him better I am looking for someone calm, experienced, and confident who understands that he may need a little time to settle, but who will be rewarded with a loyal, affectionate, and fun companion once he feels secure. I am happy to discuss his routine in detail and support a smooth handover to ensure he is comfortable and well-settled during his stay.
