Today (20/05) marks 4 years, 208 weeks, 1460 days since Biscuit arrived at the rescue....and he is still here waiting for that special person to come along and choose him. That is a huge chunk of a dogs life, a life wasted through no fault of his own

While all our long term dogs have found homes over the last year Biscuit is the only one left waiting. We have tried our best to find him a home to no avail, but we won’t give up and I won’t rest until he’s happy in a home.

Biscuit arrived like so many others as an unclaimed stray, failed by his owner, abandoned without a second thought, discarded like rubbish. He isn’t a perfect dog but show me one that is, yes he does have quirks but we have rehomed dogs that have been far more complex than him who have gone on to live happy, contented lives. I can only assume it’s because of these quirks that he is still here, still waiting, still being overlooked but still hoping that one day he’ll be chosen and get his happy ever after

I’m hoping we will be able to find Biscuit an understanding owner that will love him warts and all! His behaviour is far from extreme and could easily be managed, here at the kennels we understand him and he doesn't give us a minutes trouble.

I’ll add some pointers below as to what kind of home he needs, his likes and dislikes, in the hope that he won’t have to wait in kennels much longer

• Biscuit will need to live with older children, over 16y.o.

• He wouldn’t be happy living with a dog but isn’t reactive to dogs on a walk.

• He can’t live with cats.

• He walks beautifully on the lead, he isn’t strong and doesn’t pull.

• Biscuit loves long walks and would literally walk all day.

• He isn’t a dog with oodles of energy in the home, he is a very calm boy who settles quickly once he's been exercised.

• He’s a very quiet gentle boy who is very loving.

Now for the quirks!

• Biscuit doesn’t like anyone near his food bowl when he is eating, he prefers to be left alone to eat.

• He can guard his bowl after finishing but soon loses interest and will wonder off leaving you to collect the bowl.

• He doesn’t like being picked up.

• Lastly he doesn’t like having his feet touched!

That is it. Biscuit is walked by all the volunteers at the rescue, to us he isn’t classed as a ‘difficult’ dog, he just has bad habits like the rest of us.

All he needs is a chance, someone to open their heart and home to this very special boy who has wasted so much of his life in kennels. He’s a little greyer in the muzzle now since he first arrived, please help us make his wish come true
