His Story: Zebedee was found stray and bounced out of 2 homes. We have taken him on and he has responded to training and has become very special to us all.

Salient points: Young Staffie full of affection, but had few skills before he arrived. Now walks well with other dogs. Needs secure garden, older children or visiting younger children.

Advert: Zebedee is a young Staffie. Eager to please and not really sure why the world reacted like it did to his fullness of heart and "delighted to meet you" routine. Zebedee is now learning how to walk nicely on a harness or/and halti. He has learnt how to meet dogs nicely and is learning not to fall upon people like a rash! Zebedee is still young and so needs an active family who can reassure, involve him in constructive employment and carry on his socialisation programme. Zebedee is neutered, vax'd and chipped. Currently in kennels in Croydon area.

So Zebedee is on his way and Zebedee will be matched to his new family so won't be bouncing homes again! He is a fabulous lad who seeks direction and has become calmer and realised people understand him, love him and positively enthuse in him. He is brilliant, bright, positively bashful!

Please visit Zebedee's individual thread, in Dogs needing homes in our care on our forum to find out more about him and follow his progress.

If you are interested in re-homing please complete our homing questionnaire so we can ensure our dogs are matched and will suit your circumstances/lifestyle.

"Please note that this dog is currently in kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found".

Zebedee 's thread below:
We have taken over Zebedee's care as of today. Further details to follow but here are some pictures of the lovely lad. All neutered, vax'd and so ready to go. He is already a favourite with our Rescue as he has been cared for and walked being within Croydon kennels

So glad Zebedee is with us now! Now he can get more walks and socialisation. I have taken him out walking with our gang already and on the lead he has been mixing well with male and female dogs. In his kennel though he shows more of a problem with other dogs. He is another one who has lost his voice a bit but still manages to make enough noise to let you know that sitting drinking tea at the cafe was much less fun than walking! Loves his cuddles and giving you a good face wash.

I walked Zebedee today. Absolutely adorable little thing, oooh so cute! Smile

Really quite small and a bit thin too, poor little lad! He also seemed a little bit nervous and unsure of things. All he needs is a loving home with someone to feed him up, give him lots of cuddles and assurance, and he'll be the loyalest loveliest friend back to you. As it was I got some lovely cuddles and face washes!! He even has an 'endearing' habit of wanting to give you a kiss as soon as he's had a drink of water.... gets that extra sloppy-ness into it, mmm, lovely! Laughing

Yes...Zebedee is regaining his weight now due to a nasty tummy bug he picked up that he just could not shake for a while. Sad

All is back on track now though and he is eating well. Give it a couple of weeks and he will be back to normal.

Took Zebedee out today and mostly had a lovely walk except his natural exhuberance did not go down well with the stately Tiger Lily. They soon settled their differences though and walked alongside each other nicely. It is a joy to see this boy coming along now. I'm sure with lots of good experiences and a bit more maturity he will improve all the time. Mixing better all the time so long as it's sensible. Didn't have time to stop for cuddles today which was a shame as he gives such lovely staffie licks.

Took Zebedee out 1st today as he hadn't been out for a while, really settled in the kennel now, got the harness on quickly with no fuss.
He really is an eager little dog, doesn't pull just keeps the lead taut. He will 'sit' well if a car approaches, isn't fazed by people, traffic, livestock or cyclists.
He got plenty of fuss and attention at the halfway point which he responded to well by making a big fuss of me Laughing

Donna walked Zebedee today while I walked Tammy. He was bouncy at first in his excitement but soon settled. Very focussed at the cafe when he realised there may be bits of a ham sandwich on offer for good behaviour. He did lovely calm sits. They walked back side by side interacting minimally but nicely. Zebedee got a bit more interested once Tammy said hello to Bobby.

Zebedee again came to the cafe for lunch. Walked nicely on his halti although did protest a little. Made friends with some workmen at the cafe and managed to get some chips for sitting nicely. Walked quite quietly back afterwards. Lots of lovely face licks for my daughter when he got a chance, but luckily she is quite used to that Wink
