Name: Thatcher
Breed: Terrier cross
Age: 4 years approx
Sex: Male
Good with dogs: Calm dogs
Good with cats: No
Good with children: 10+
Time to be left: Short periods

For all you terrier fans out there, Thatcher is going to be a great addition to your home. He's a loyal little chap who loves his humans. Being a young terrier, most likely with some patterdale in his mix, he's going to be a busy lad and will be the perfect companion if you enjoy long walks and out and about adventures. He travels well and has been as good as gold on his trips to the vets and when out and about with volunteers.

Thatcher will be homed as an only dog. He is worried by reactive dogs and will bark back. He much prefers calmer dogs and other than curiosity has been non-reactive to a mix of breeds. We think Thatcher will enjoy having a garden, this will need to be fully secure. He won't be homed where there are other small pets.

We have only known Thatcher in a kennel environment so he might need some reminders with his toilet training. He's a clever boy so we're sure he'll soon get the hang of this. In between walks and lap cuddles, Thatcher will enjoy using his brain for games and toys.

If you're looking for a fun, loveable chap Thatcher could be the one for you!
