Chops is really just a very big puppy who was abandoned and due to be put to sleep. He had some basic training in the past. He's good in the house, goes to the toilet outdoors. Can be left alone without barking/whining. He's been wormed and de-flead- He's currently on 3 meals a day as he's a little underweight at the moment. He scoffs his food down so fast it's only down a few seconds!!
First night he was a little anxious but soon settled for a cuddle on the sofa.
Chops is currently in his foster home in Manchester. He is living with a family including kids and another dog.
A note from his foster Mum -
Chops has come to stay with us & has only been here a couple of hours but boy-what an impression! He's handsome, well mannered & so far great with Kids, not just mine but all the locals have been to the fence to see him & he's been a BIG hit He is making an impression on our dog - she's just not sure what impression yet as he's keen to get closer to her and she's not sure yet but I think they'll be great by morning & any hesitance is off her not Chops, he's making all the right moves! He encountered a cat outside earlier, he looked but didn't chase so will probably be OK.
He is food obsessed at the minute and looked very sad when I put the dinner scraps in the bin but I'm sure once he settles he'll realise he doesn't have to gulp everything he can.
ooh hold on,yep that was Chops with his head stuck in the kitchen bin & he's opened the cupboard door although he hasn't touched the food so that's a good sign.
So far I couldn't ask for anything better & the kids & other half seem just as taken with him.
Tomorrow is meeting other dogs on the park so I'll let you know how he goes on.
