NoCan live with children? 10+ years Location - West SussexHe was living in London before being handed into Battersea - he really struggled in this environment and sadly Battersea put him on code red as they felt he was not rehomeable, although we have no idea why! He’s never shown a single ounce of aggression - he is a loving and affectionate dog who adores his walks!He came to join us approx 1.5yrs ago and is a wonderful happy boy! He absolutely loves to play and loves other dogsThere is however a BIG BUT - he is absolutely terrified of travelling in a vehicle - he arrived shut in the dark in a small purpose built travel cage in the back of a Battersea van and has never got over this.

A lamb in disguiseLikes & Needs: A lover of older teenagers; Happy living as the only pet; Such a happy, loving boy; Getting there with his housetraining; Happy with a 1-2 hour leave time; A very high prey drive; Requires a secure garden with 6 ft fencing, solely for himselfCompatibility: Cats: No; Dogs: No; Children: See age criteriaLegs like spaghetti, Falkor is such a happy boy who is raring to go. It can take time for him to warm to your kindness but once your best friend, he springs along like a lamb, carrying his toys in his mouth. Falkor loves cuddle time on the sofa, playing with tennis balls and given the opportunity, helping himself to food if left within eye reach.Loving the outdoors, particularly when it’s nice and warm, Falkor would love a garden to sunbathe and zoom around in. His fencing must be 6ft + due to his very high prey drive and he must be walked wearing a muzzle. He is a fantastic walker but hiring out a secure field would be ideal for off lead exercise.
