Mushroom: 4 years, extra large

Meet Mushroom!

Five-year-old Mushroom is a big, grey bundle of love who truly lives up to his name - he is incredibly "mushy" and thrives on affection. After being with his current family since he was a puppy, he is now looking for a very special "pack" to call his own.

He weighs approximately 37kg and is in the Hampshire area.

Mushroom’s absolute favorite thing in the world is human contact; he will literally "fall into you" for strokes and fuss. Once he knows you are part of his inner circle, he trusts you completely and will happily snuggle on the sofa for hours. He even has adorable "puppy-like" moments where he jumps around with excitement when he’s happy. He is a dream in the house - fully house-trained, relaxed during the workday, and a clever lad who knows his basic commands. He is even an excellent communicator; he’ll throw his water bowl when it’s empty to let you know he's thirsty!

Because Mushroom is so devoted to his humans, he is looking for a specific, quiet home environment where he can be his best self. He is looking for a peaceful, low-traffic or semi-rural location where he won't encounter many strangers, runners, or other dogs on his walks.

Since he prefers to keep all the love for himself, he must be the only pet in the home. He will also need a private, securely-fenced garden where he can relax without being distracted by neighbours or outside noises. While he is patient with the children he currently lives with, he can get very "zoned in" on outside triggers like birds or passing dogs. For this reason, he needs a calm home with adults or dog-savvy older teenagers who can recognise his body language and give him space when he is alerted.

Mushroom is a strong and powerful boy, so he needs physically fit owners who are comfortable walking him on a lead and muzzle. He is looking for an experienced family who will enjoy learning his unique "tells" and using positive, hands-off management - like tasty treats - to help him navigate the world. He can be selective with new people, particularly men, so he will appreciate a home that can offer him slow and patient introductions.

If you have a quiet home and plenty of room on your sofa, Mushroom will reward you by being the most loyal, affectionate, and "mushy" companion you could ever dream of.
