Meet Stanley

A charming 5-year-old Staffy cross, rescued from the Christchurch City Council Shelter October 2021

A few things to know about me:

Stanley is currently in a loving foster home where he's treated like royalty. During his time in foster care, Stanley has shown significant improvements, mastering leash manners, and overall, becoming an excellent canine companion for any home. He revels in the simple joys of sleeping in and spending leisurely days lounging on the couch.

Adequate containment is recommended, as Stanley has displayed impressive jumping abilities in the past.

Personality: Stanley's quirky personality never fails to bring smiles to those around him. However, he's also hyper-aware of his surroundings, which can make noisy or bustling environments stressful for him. Stanley thrives in a consistent environment where he can progress at his own pace, with owners who understand his need to build confidence around unfamiliar stimuli.

Children: Stanley is currently fostered with young children and is suited to a home with dog savvy children.

Social skills: Due to his stress and reactivity around other dogs, Stanley requires a dog-free home and is required wear a muzzle while in public in case any off-lead dogs rush up to him.

Chickens: Stanley happily co exists with free range chickens in his foster home.

Cats: Stanley is not suited to a home with cats or other small animals.

Homing support: Stanley will have a homing plan, and his new family will be supported by our experienced team and behaviour consultants to transition him to his new home.
