Are you right for Watson?

Watson is a sweet 6-year-old Collie who is searching for his perfect forever home. He would be best suited to an adult-only household with experienced owners, particularly those who have a background in working with nervous dogs. Watson needs to be the only pet in the home but would be open to having walking friends. His new family will need to build up his leaving hours gradually, starting with short periods and increasing over time. A private garden with a secure 6ft fence is a must for Watson to feel safe and comfortable in his new space. He can find life a bit overwhelming at times, so a calm, patient, and understanding environment will help him flourish.

Is Watson right for you?

Watson is a gentle and sweet boy who enjoys a quiet, loving touch and a good sniff around his surroundings. He’s a real foodie, and his love for treats is a great way to build trust with him. While Watson may initially be shy, he can become affectionate once he feels safe with you. With a little patience and care, Watson will blossom into a loyal companion who will reward you with his loving nature and playful spirit.
