Michael, Staffie, DOB 06 - Gatwick

Michael, Staffie, DOB 06 - Gatwick



Homing Requirements: Michael needs a family who will discover his 'gifts', offer him time and understand his Staffie snorts and 'speak'. Not for live-in very young children as he was finding life too 'pushy'.

His Story: Michael came from Northern Ireland, out of a home with a toddlers and a baby on the way. They didn't have time for him and felt he found it too stressful being on the end of toddler tears and tantrums. A local rescue lady took him in and waited for us to have a place. She neutered and vax'd him.

Advert: Michael is a wee tot of a Staffie ... a little pudding currently as he was crated for several months with frequent access to the garden whilst his rescuer awaited a Rescue place with ourselves. He retained his housetraining during this period. Michael welcomes everyone into his kennels and delights in his walks either one on one or mixed with in a group. He doesn't pull on his lead and is always mindful of his companion walker. He loves treats!

Michael ... Winner! He is so delightful and puts a smile on everyone's faces. He is winning all hearts with his little snuffley ways and cuddles galore. His Irish eyes are always shining and dreaming of his very own family.

An update from one of our kennel volunteers on Michael:

“Michael's Irish eyes were shining as he came home with me today for his St Patrick's Day lunch. He decided the back seat of the car was the place for him and he pushed all the stuff off and made himself comfortable. Then he came up the front and sat watching the world go by. In my garden and with the lead off, he just ran and ran. He ate his steak and guinness pie in 4 seconds flat and then ran some more. Then we played ball. What a fab lunch time”!

An update on Michael from one of our kennel walking volunteers:

“Michael wasn't dancing in his kennel today, but he did dance down the kennel run. He is such a comedian! He is always so happy to be out and his beautiful red coat shone in the sun and he looked so handsome.

He enjoyed the mud and had a paddle in the stream. We also met a small white dog in the field who he greeted very politely and he waited patiently while I had a chat with the owner”.

Michael approves of our bathing facilities out on his walk near the kennels!



Especially the lovely mud to roll in after his dip ... he has most of us laughing from the moment we meet him! Such a sweet fun loving boy.

What a smile!

An update from a new kennel walker:

“Took him out for the first time myself yesterday. How cute is this little fella! Easy to harness up in the kennel and a real pleasure to walk. I didn't know he liked the water [Michael loves a paddle in the stream] so I avoided it, but I'll remember next time.

Didn't take me long to realise he like his food though. A kindred spirit shall we say.....we could both do with losing a few pounds! When we were sitting down, once he realised the treats were in the rucksack, he was truffling away like a good'un. His snorts and grumbles are in no way growls.....and I'm sure if there are truffles out there he'll find them.....

Michael thinks he's a hippo! He even put his face in the mud …







Well, how else is a dog supposed to enjoy himself whilst waiting for someone to offer him a home?!
