	ref: 2007/01705 size: Small age: 3 to 5 year old sex: Male		centre: Battersea breed: Jack Russel Terrier arrived on: March 2007

Garfield is a 3 to 5 year old male Terrier that arrived at Battersea Dog's & Cat's Home in March 2007 as a stray. A feisty little character, Garfield seems to have quite a high opinion of himself, especially around other dogs. He is not overly pushy with his interactions and does listen when told off.

Garfield is looking for:

• Owners who have had experience of a dog with a similar character rather than experience of the breed


• An adult household with no children due to intolerance levels but older teenagers will be considered depending on experience


• A house rather than a flat due to his vocal nature and neighbours will need to be considered, especially if the house is not detached


• A home in a low dog populated area so owners can maintain focus when out and about


• Semi rural or rural location


• Could live with another dog, possibly a mature female who will show him the boundaries of what is and what isn't acceptable behaviour

 

A loveable rogue who is set in his ways and looking for owners who like their males.

Garfield  will need some further training in his new home. To receive advice and guidance regarding this training from the Behaviour Unit staff that have worked with him, potential owners should be prepared to come into the Dogs Home for a minimum of two visits. Garfield is at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London. Please call the Behaviour Unit on 020 7627 7884 if you are interested in Garfield or email us on [email protected] and quote ref 2007/01705
