Meet Danny
Danny is an independent, fun-loving boy with a huge personality. He's happy to please himself, loves a good adventure, and will keep you laughing every day.
He's clever, playful, and very entertaining to live with - a real character.
Why You'll Love Danny:
He's a smart, self-entertaining guy: Danny loves ALL the toys and has even invented his own game - pushing them off the sofa just so he can pounce and rescue them. He’s great at making his own fun.
He'll keep you tidy: Danny is a curious collector who loves to carry things around - shoes, toilet rolls, you name it. He's a great motivator to keep things put away, and he’s easily redirected to his own tough toys.
He's an adventure buddy: He loves his walking adventures and is always up for a plodge in the water. Perfect for someone who loves getting out and about.
He's a great housemate: Danny sleeps beautifully in his crate, is good with other dogs, and loves a good cuddle when it's chill-out time.
Danny's Ideal Home:
Danny is looking for an adult-only home (no kids) where he can be his goofy, affectionate self. He does best with sturdy, durable toys instead of tennis balls, and with someone who appreciates a confident, self-directed dog with a sense of humour.
If you want a loyal, funny, water-loving sidekick who is house-savvy and dog-friendly - Danny's your guy.

A Note on Training and Adopting Our Dogs
Our dogs are wonderful, and we invest a great deal of time and effort into their training and preparation. However, no dog is “perfectly trained” or ready to adopt without any ongoing work.
All dogs go through normal life stages and changes — puppyhood, adolescence, adulthood, aging, moving homes, and adapting to new environments. Any of these can lead to stress, uncertainty, or moments of testing boundaries.
Because of this, ongoing training is essential. Training isn’t a one-off task; it’s a continual process that helps you understand your dog’s needs, support them through transitions, and set everyone up for long-term success.
We would expect adopters to maintain the training we’ve started and seek further guidance if needed. We’re always happy to help with information and recommendations for trainers, and provide advice during the trial and adoption process also.
Can't adopt Danny? You can still help.
Although we charge a small adoption fee, this doesn't generally cover the costs of us getting our dogs ready for adoption. Desexing, grooms, vet care, vaccinations, registration, training and variety of other things can go into these dogs. If you'd like to help either on a one off or regular basis we would be grateful for your donation.
