PAWS’s Hannah Peltzer said poor Boofy has been in foster care for nine months and as much as he enjoys it he’s ready to go home.
“He’s very affectionate, a typical staffy,” she said.
“He loves to be with his people, he’ll sit there and lean into you until you pat him – he’s absolutely fabulous around people.”
Mrs Peltzer said Boofy loved to chase birds and cats so won’t be suitable for a home with small pets and because he’s a solid dog and would be best in a home where he couldn’t accidentally knock over a toddler or child under 5 years old.
“Boofy loves the water,” she said.
“He loves water in pools or hoses anything wet and he loves to play.”
Mrs Peltzer said Boofy would be ideally suited to a retired couple or individual.
“He does require someone who is home,” she said.
“He gets some separation anxiety and needs to go to somewhere where he wont be left at home eight hours a day.
“He needs a companion and someone he can really bond with. He doesn’t need a lot of exercise though he likes walks, he’s also happy to just chill on the couch.
“He’s looking for someone with lots of love and time to give.”
Mrs Peltzer said Boofy was found wandering so nothing was known of his history.
She said Boofy had been in care for quite a while and was ready to settle on the couch with his perfect human.
“It’s not very often we have a long-term foster dog maybe one every year or two,” she said. “Most go within a few months.
“It’s difficult because we have a particular home he needs and we’re very strict on that type of thing.
“If it’s not the right home for them no matter how much you think you can love them – if it’s not the right match we have to say no.”
