Looking for a chance to shine

My personality: Chic and cheeky, sassy yet shy at times.

My story: I was born into a world that didn’t want me. I was one of a litter of pups left to fend for ourselves at a local temple when we were about three months old. I soon fell victim to some illnesses that affect puppies like me, and it was a lot for my young body and mind to deal with. But I’m strong, and I fought the loneliness and rejection and grew up to be a handsome, healthy boy.

My needs: I don’t have a lot of experience of the outside world, so new things can scare me, but once I’ve assessed the situation and learnt the routine, I become comfortable and confident. I walk well on a lead – even better when I have other canine friends with me for support – and I love to chase balls and play with other dogs. I’m not really the touchy-feely type, so I’d appreciate a family who will be patient with me when it comes to cuddles. Everyone says I have lots of potential; I just need the chance to shine.
