Benny : URGENT FOSTER NEEDED

URGENT FOSTER HOME REQUIRED ,WITH DOODLE AIDS FULL SUPPORT

Please do read all the following information fully,before applying.

If you do not match Benny’s criteria do not apply ,thank you

Benny is located in Lancashire post code area LA4

You will be expected to travel,to carry out a meet and greets

Benny is dearly loved by his current owner,sadly there has been a relationship breakdown,a move and owner not managing ,with financial issues helping Bennys future

His current owners purchased Benny when he was 5 months old

We believe he missed the vital times in his puppy period ,between 8 weeks and 3 months to gain his social skills

With this he has become a nervous young dog,fearful around traffic & other dogs,nervous in vets,fearful at the groomers,around some men until he gains trust ,and has separation anxiety

We love to find a foster placement willing to help this little bundle of nerves

With full support of Doodle Aid behind both the fosters and Benny

He will need a calm presence,a home with a garden,and support of a fully qualified behaviourist

Little Benny has had a hard few months ,he is not settled in himself ,once settled and he can gain some confidence with support,we are hoping in time he will adjust and become a less anxious little dog

We love to give Benny a chance as he is only a very young dog ,we are hoping someone with a huge heart can help him ,and maybe go onto adopt him in the future

Doodle Aids Requirements

We are looking for a foster who has energy to support a lively little dog,with some behavioural issues ,with support from us

No full time workers,as Benny suffers with separation anxiety

This will need time and management in place

To be the only dog in the household

Prefer at adult home only ,but may accept older dog savvy children ,14 and above

( no visiting small children)

No cats will chase

Safe and secure garden

If you have any day trips or holidays planned please state on your application form

Meet Benny

Type Cockapoo

Born May 2025

Male not neutered

Height 13.5 inches

Weight 7.5 kg approximately

Booster due August 2026

Up to date with flea/tick and worming treatment

No know health issue

Once settled in foster ,we would like the fosters to take Benny for a full health check,Doodle Aid covers the expenses

We do this with all foster dogs in our care

Grooming

Benny as you can see by the photos has a very long coat ,this is because his owner has not managed to get him to the groomers ,as he is so nervous

They have tried with several groomers but they will not accept him

He is groomed at home ,bathed and brushed when needed

Doodle Aid we help with the process in due course,just need to allow him to settle firstly

Benny has a curly coat which only sheds slightly,all dogs shed some amount

Exercise

Benny is reactive out on his walks ,this involves being around traffic and other dogs

Once he got himself in a right old state ,and would not calm down and caught his owner ,giving a bite which was more of a grab

This was because he was so high on fear ,no blood was drawn

Benny will need time,patience and management with all of these behaviours

We will give the support as and when the fosters require our help,but you do need to be aware of everything we reveal about him

He has never been off lead ,and no foster dogs should be off lead unless in a hired dog paddock

Benny also pulls on his lead,so would need loose lead training

Further information

Benny is a loveable affectionate dog,still really only a puppy ,needs some reassurance,training and love and most of all time

He is crated a night time ,this is due to him living in a temporary home without a garden.

He is toilet trained but at present living in a flat without a garden,so needs taking out regularly or he will have accidents

He travels well in the car ,with a safety harness in place

Recently with the move he has travelled 5 hours without any issues

Dislikes the Hoover will try and attack it,fears traffic,loud noises ,dogs ,and will bark at strangers coming into the home until he settles

Cannot be left alone at home ,his owner only just manages to have 10 minute shower before Benny starts getting over anxious

Likes :- Snuffle mats, tug of war, chew toys

Note from his current owner ,who we know is breaking their heart

Someone who has time and money to be able to work with a trainer/ behaviourist to help his reactivity and separation anxiety. He is such a lovely sweet caring boy and it breaks my heart having to even think about doing this. He deserves better where someone can afford to pay for all his training and be there at home for him.

Doodle Aid will pay vets expenses ,food,behaviourist support and will discuss any other expenses going forward with his fosters

PLEASE PLEASE WE NEED TO GIVE THIS YOUNG BOY A CHANCE IN LIFE ,WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT HELPING HIM MANAGE a HIS WAYS GOING FORWARD

If you feel you can help do apply ,we will need to carry out a full vetting and home check
