Gomez moved into private boarding kennels in July 2025 where he has resided ever since.
After months in a busy kennel block Gomez was becoming stressed. He was reactive to other dogs when walking the kennel line with staff. He was moved to a quieter area where he has now relaxed more and has become a much calmer dog.
Gomez accepts collar/harness and lead but he can try and bite the lead sometimes. He walks really well on the lead with no pulling. He can be a little scared of some people and does bark at dogs he sees. He has not met any children on his walks.
Gomez has been known to tear up his bed with boredom so he will need lots of toys and brain games to keep him busy in his new home. He will also need to get daily physical exercise on walks.
Gomez has probably been left without food in the past so he snatched food and treats from your hand. The kennels have tried to teach him to be gentle. This is something that his new home will need to be aware of and work with him to continue this training.
As Gomez has been living in kennels his toilet training will need a refresher in his new home which will be easily done with a clear, scheduled toileting routine.
As he has spent a long period of time in kennels Gomez will need someone around most of the day. This is so that he can build a bond with his new family.
Any alone time will need to be built up very gradually over time and monitored to ensure Gomez is comfortable being left alone. He may be susceptible to separation anxiety once he has settled in.
Gomez will need an experienced home who can offer him what he needs but take things at his own pace as he will need some adjustment time when he comes out of the kennels.
Gomez will need to be walked on a harness and be given some additional positive training with sights and sounds he hasn’t seen for a while.
Gomez has a lot of love to give and is a good boy. He is now ready to find his forever home where he will be given patience, time, reassurance and be allowed to decompress after a long period in a kennel environment.
He needs someone with experience to guide him, show him what is expected of him using positive reinforcement and give him all the love he has missed out on.
He needs to go at his own pace to ensure he is comfortable with the positive life changes he is experiencing.
