About Johnny

Young Johnny came into our care as an unclaimed stray and he's looking for a special family to turn his life around. He is a very nervous boy but does well with a slow approach and we've already seen his confidence increase. Johnny has gone from hiding on the inside part of his kennel to happily greeting his handlers at his door but he will still hide from strangers. We don't know what he has been through and his confidence was very low when we first met him but now he's much more comfortable when greeting strangers. His adopters must be wiling to spend time getting to know him and gaining his trust at the centre before taking him home. Johnny is definitely more keen on saying hello to people if those people have nibbles! The more time he spends with people the more comfortable he visibly becomes, so the slow approach is definitely the way forward for him. Johnny enjoys spending time with other dogs and this has also boosted confidence, but he has a tendency to mount every dog he meets! This makes him unsuitable for living a with another dog but friends should be encouraged. Johnny is only a year old and has so much potential, he just needs the right family to guide him.
