Meet Davey! Davey is searching for his new home due to inappropriate ingestion of items.

Davey is such a sweetheart and loves his snuggles. There’s no other place that Davey would
rather be than snuggled up next to you. I hope you’re ok with a dog that snores, because that is Davey’s speciality! When he’s not snuggling up next to you you can find him running and playing in the backyard! It is important to understand that Davey must never be left outdoors unsupervised. He has a taste for rocks and he will try to do anything to enjoy his favourite snack.

Davey would absolutely love it if there were another dog in the home that he can play with. He is quite big and when he gets excited, he can get a little jumpy. He doesn’t know his size, so he would be best in a home that doesn’t have any younger children. He would feel very bad if he knocked anyone over!

Davey isn’t the best in the car and car rides do make him a little bit nervous. He has a great self soothing tactic which is sucking on his blanket! It also helps if he is beside someone he loves, or is in his crate. Davey is such a cuddly and affectionate guy and he would love to go to a home that is active but also likes to enjoy rainy days on the couch. Davey can’t wait to shower you with love!
