Nealy

About Nealy

Nealy has been waiting a really long time for a home and truly deserves to be in a loving home of his own. He's a BIG favourite of our kennel crew and a joy to be around. He adores his walks here and he absolutely loves learning new tricks with positive reinforcement, as he's such a clever collie. He would love to be adopted by someone who will continue his training. However, as fabulous as he is, he does have some special rehoming needs. Nealy can be nervous of new people, so he will need a calm, adult-only home. He will need to be introduced to new people slowly and to be given lots of space to get to know and trust new people. He also had old injuries when he came into MADRA’s care. One of his front legs was previously fractured and had been allowed to heal naturally so it didn't heal in the correct position. As well as this, he has hip dysplasia meaning his hip joints aren't properly formed. Nealy is on long-term pain relief for these injuries and likely will be for life. He has struggled with being handled by people in the past and we believe that pain was a factor in this. On a positive note, Nealy likes playing with other dogs here and they give him a confidence boost so he could be rehomed as a second dog, if we could make a good match. He is such a sweet boy with loads of character when he knows his ‘people’ and so deserves to find an understanding forever home that will give him a chance. Nealy needs an adult-only, rural home with a secure garden and with people who have knowledge and experience of dogs who struggle with strangers and/or certain types of handling. Another dog in the home would be ideal. As MADRA will provide full backup support to settle Nealy into his new home - however long that takes - we are specifically looking for a home in the Galway area for him.
