Will

About Will

Will came to us from a farm environment after his owner became unwell. He has lived all his life with very little human contact, and certainly very little positive human interaction. Following a full veterinary examination, including X-rays, it was discovered that he had suffered a catastrophic old injury to his elbow. Sadly, it had been left untreated and can no longer be repaired, so although his pain is now managed with medication when needed, he must have endured an incredible amount of discomfort for a long time. Will is around 8 years old and is a calm, gentle soul who is now ready to enjoy the peaceful retirement he deserves. He would love a quiet rural home with another dog, as he absolutely loves the company of other dogs and enjoys interacting with them. A calm female of a similar size would be the perfect companion for him. Will is not a dog who enjoys being handled and his new family will need to respect this. He likes to make his own choices and needs to be allowed to move between his bed and secure garden in his own time, without being physically handled. He needs a secure garden and a safe place to sleep at night, either indoors or in a properly insulated and ventilated kennel. He does struggle with steps, so this should be kept in mind when considering his new home. He is content to potter around the garden, enjoys simply watching the world go by, and is slowly rediscovering how to play. If he feels like exploring, he may enjoy the occasional short walk, but he is just as happy spending his days relaxing in the safety of his home. Will may not be the dog who curls up on the sofa or ask for cuddles, but he has lots of love to give, in his own way. Giving him the chance to live life on his own terms would be the greatest gift, and in return you will have the privilege of watching this sweet, kind boy finally enjoy the comfort and security he has always deserved.
