Ahab is a gentle old boy looking for his retirement home. He has been described by the kennels in Romania where he has spent most of his life as an old soul and they were ecstatic he was chosen to travel to the UK. If you are looking for a chill, distinguished gentleman look no further as you have just found him.Ahab is getting used to living in a home and he is developing into a very polite housemate. He isn’t quite toilet trained yet but he’s trying his best and very nearly there. He doesn’t bark at visitors and is very pleased to see everyone he meets.Ahab walks beautifully on the lead. He doesn’t react at all when dogs around him behave unpredictably. He is happy to follow wherever you want to go and he doesn’t pull in the opposite direction. He does find loud cars and motorbikes scary but can be settled and reassured without incident. He currently has short walks and would be happy in a less active household although he is spritely for his age and could be walked for longer with no issues.Ahab would be suited to most homes. He is the kind of dog that doesn’t ask for much, just love and belly rubs, and he gives so much more back in return. He deserves a warm fire, and a comfy sofa in his twilight years to make up for the heartbreaking life he has had so far. You will not find a more deserving dog than this sweet boy.
