Tumblebum

Age: 10 and a half years | Dog | Lurcher

Rescue: Margaret Green Animal Rescue, Dorset

Tumblebum otherwise known as Tumble is a 10 1/2 year old male lurcher with a sensitive soul and a quiet nature. He can be anxious around new people at first, but once trust is built, he forms strong bonds with his carers, and his sunny personality starts to shine through. When Tumble feels safe, he shows his affectionate side and is a true champion leaner, enjoying quiet closeness with the people he knows well. Tumble is a big foodie, and we have found this to be his best motivator, he is especially fond of liver paste, which has been a great help when building our relationship with him. Tumble has lived a sheltered life with limited experiences, he was used to living in a derelict and destroyed caravan so he will need time and patience to adjust to everyday living in a cosy home although he already loves his comfy, padded bed. A calm, predictable environment suits him best, where reassurance and kindness help him feel secure. Tumble would feel happiest having his own enclosed garden to explore and sunbathe without having to go on daily walks and out in the car. This is where he will feel most comfortable as the outside world is a scary place. This sweet and loving boy has shown some big insecurities around other dogs so he is looking for a home where he can have it all to himself. Although he has been around dogs at a distance, he is still not comfortable in their prescence. Tumble is looking for an adult-only home where he can be the only pet. He is not suitable to live with other dogs, cats, or small furries due to his insecurities and lurcher prey drive. In the right calm and understanding home, Tumble will make a loyal and affectionate companion who is ready to enjoy life at his own pace.
