Rowan has been on such a journey since he arrived in our care as a stray. He had been seen straying in the local area for over a week and unfortunately during this time he became injured and had a large wound to his shoulder. Understandably Rowan was very nervous when he first arrived but he has gained in so much confidence since his time with us!

The perfect home

Rowan (or Ro-Ro as he's affectionately known) is looking for active owners who would enjoy going on many adventures with him!

He can be boisterous at times so his new owners will need to be comfortable with a large bouncy dog. Rowan can initially be unsettled in new places but the more exposure he is getting to new environments the quicker he adapts. Rowan is looking for an adult only household.

Rowan is a very intelligent boy, he has already mastered sit, paw and down and is always eager to expand his repertoire!

Rowan can be worried of in veterinary situations so we have been working hard with him to build his confidence.

Rowan recently spent some time with one of our foster families where he showed to be the perfect gent, sleeping soundly all night and was clean in the house.

 He travelled well in the car on short journeys and spent most of the day out on his bed in typical lurcher style! 

Rowan will need further support in the presence of other dogs as he is currently a frustrated greeter. Initially Rowan will need walks in quieter areas to avoid him becoming stressed but with time he has the potential to make doggy friends.

When he is stressed by dogs he shows this by pulling on the lead towards them and getting bouncy but has been working hard on this at the centre and is improving massively. 

He has been taught to wear a muzzle to help with his initial introductions to dogs.

Once his initial introduction is out the way he enjoys walking calmly alongside other dogs. He cannot live with cats or small furries.

Rowan will make a brilliant companion for an active family with a keen interest in training. He is oodles of fun and is happiest when doing zoomies or playing with his toys.

Will you give our regal Ro-Ro a chance to show you his goofy side?
