BreedPapillon X Yorkshire Terrier

Background –Papi came to Dogs Friends via a Welsh pound after his owner was no longer able to care for him. Although Papi has lived in a pet home, he doesn’t seem to have seen much of the world.Character –Papi is a 6kg squeaky toy enthusiast with the most impressive ears we’ve seen on a small dog! He is happy to chill out on the sofa at home after a morning of playing with his toys or roaming the garden, and checking for intruders. Papi is friendly and affectionate without being clingy and enjoys a gentle brush from time to time.Type of home –Papi would like a home where someone is home most of the time, although he will happily settle on the sofa if you are out for an hour or so. Papi is quite active, but he is currently anxious outside of the home. This leads to him being reactive to other dogs, so he will need to live somewhere with access to quiet walks and limited contact with other dogs – his foster carer takes him to a secure field, which Papi loves! Papi’s new caretaker will need to be willing to put in the work to help him become more comfortable around other dogs and generally less anxious in unfamiliar situations.Papi has recently had cherry eye surgery, which he’s recovered well from.Papi is currently located in Weston-super-Mare.Our catchment area for rehoming is Somerset and the local surrounding areas (such as Bristol, Bath, Weston Super Mare and Wiltshire).
