Dawson needs a home with no other pets or children.

Are you right for Dawson?

Dawson is a 7-year-old collie cross who has captured the hearts of everyone at the centre. Despite his endearing nature, Dawson is a nervous dog who finds the world a bit overwhelming at times. He is looking for a calm, adult-only home with someone who has experience with his breed and can read his body language well.

Is Dawson right for you?

Dawson needs an adult only home and to be the only pet in the household, as he prefers all the attention for himself. He could have walking buddies but is quite happy on his own. He is on medication to manage his long term skin condition but this is well under control but would need a discussion with our vet team if you are interested in our superstar for more information. It doesn’t impact on his life as he is still the same lovable boy. Despite his timid demeanour, Dawson has a playful side and loves chasing tennis balls. To ensure a successful adoption, interested parties would need to meet Dawson multiple times to build a strong bond and establish trust. In summary, Dawson is a delightful dog who needs a loving, experienced owner to provide him with a secure and stable home. With the right care and attention, Dawson will undoubtedly make a loyal and devoted companion for the rest of his life. Please note that due to the volume of enquires we receive, we will be able to respond only to homes that we feel best meet Dawson’s needs.
