Shorty′s Story

For months... maybe even years... I wandered the roads between an industrial area and the nearby farms. It was the only life I knew. I had my little routines, my favourite hiding spots, and I always managed to get by.

Then one scorching summer day, everything changed.

I was casually crossing the road on my way to my usual snoozing spot beneath a parked trailer. I didn't even notice the huge lorry coming towards me. The driver swerved to avoid me, and I ran as fast as I could, diving under the trailer where I thought I'd be safe.

Luckily for me, the car behind that lorry belonged to the wonderful ladies from 2nd Chance Dogs. They saw what happened, pulled over immediately, and came to help me. Catching me wasn't difficult—I may have been living on the streets, but I've always loved people.

Now I'm safe at the centre, and I still can't believe this is my life. I get fed twice a day, I have my very own paddling pool, and there's even a cooling system in my kennel so I can nap comfortably on the hottest days.

Can you believe it? After all that time surviving on my own, I finally know what it feels like to be safe... and I think I'm going to like this life.

Character & Temperament

I'm a friendly little fella who absolutely loves people... maybe a little too much, some might say! I mean, I'd happily climb over a fence just to come and say hello to you.

I'm also learning how to play with toys. I've already mastered the art of chasing a tennis ball! Now, the picking it up and bringing it back part... well, let's just say I'm still working on that. But hey, it's still great fun!

Ideal Home for Shorty

My perfect home is one where I'm part of the family. After spending so long fending for myself, I'd love a home where I can enjoy all the little things I've never really had—soft beds, fun walks, toys, tasty treats, and, most importantly, lots of human company.

I'm a people-loving little guy, so I'd be happiest with someone who enjoys having a four-legged shadow by their side. Whether we're going for an adventure, relaxing in the garden, or cuddling on the sofa, I'll be right there with you.

Most of all, I'm looking for someone who will love me forever. I've survived life on my own... now I'm ready to spend the rest of it by your side.
