About Bo
In the heart of a neighbourhood lives Bo, a charismatic 5-year-old Staffy cross with a personality that's as unique as his appearance. Picture Ed the hyena from The Lion King, and you've got a glimpse of Bo's lovable quirks. Rescued from a shelter in 2019, Bo's journey is a testament to resilience and transformation, but now, he's lost his home and in search of a forever home again.
Bo's tale unfolds against a backdrop of adversity. He carries the scars of a past marked by abuse and the harrowing world of dog fights, where he played the unwilling role of bait. Despite these challenges, Bo's spirit endured, and today, he stands as a symbol of strength, ready to embark on a new chapter of his life.
Bo, however, comes with some unique preferences. Water, in any form - be it from a hose, during baths, or the gentle touch of rain - makes him uneasy, a lingering effect of his troubled history. Storms, in particular, trigger anxiety, prompting Bo to seek shelter indoors or in the garage. Understanding and patience will be key to helping Bo feel secure and loved.
Now, let's talk about what makes Bo light up with joy. His love for walks and runs is more than just exercise; it's a journey toward emotional well-being. And when the day winds down, nothing brings more warmth than a good cuddle. As a special treat, a big bone every once in a while is the key to Bo's heart, turning ordinary moments into celebrations of joy.
Bo's guardian instincts are noteworthy. He's a natural guard dog, quick to bark if an unfamiliar presence encroaches on his territory. Yet, in the presence of friends and familiar faces, his protectiveness takes a backseat, especially if a ball is in play during yard time.
Bo is not just a dog; he's a clever companion who has mastered commands like sit, stay, wait, and fetch. His eagerness to learn and please makes him a delightful addition to any home. When it's playtime, be prepared for the joyous spectacle of Bo engaging in zoomies—a burst of energy that mirrors his newfound happiness and zest for life.
Outdoors is where Bo finds peace. Whether he's soaking up the sun or peacefully napping, Bo's love for the open air is a testament to the tranquillity he's found in his new home.
Bo is more than a pet; he's an amazing little guy ready to weave a story of healing, companionship, and unconditional love. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a furry friend who's conquered adversity, Bo is waiting to create a lifetime of joyful memories with you. Come meet him and let the next chapter of his story unfold in the warmth of your home.
Medical notes
Vaccinations, desexing, microchips, and heartworm checks are provided by the rescue.
If there is outstanding vet work, the rescue will organise it with one of their partner vets. If the adopter would like to take over the vet work at their own cost to their own vet, this can be transferred.
Adoption details
Flexible process with the dog's best interest in mind always.
1. Phone interview to assess suitability
2. Application forms filled in
3. Meet & greet with the potential dog

5. As many meet & greets till all parties feel comfortable to proceed to adoption
After the dog comes into your care, we stay in very close contact for the first few weeks until everyone is comfortable and then we transfer the microchip. If there is outstanding vet work to be done we will complete this before transferring the microchip.
