NASDU - National Association of Security Dog Users

REHOMING

From time to time NASDU Head Office receive calls from dog owners who for a variety of reasons need to re-home their dogs.

Many of these have been referred by the RSPCA to NASDU as the breed of dog may be suitable as a Security Dog.

The following contains the contact details of these dog owners for which we ask you to contact the owner direct.

NASDU offers nor implies any guarantee of suitablity and it is the responsibility of the enquirer to ascertain the reason for the dog being re-homed and its suitability.

The service is provided free of charge to members of NASDU and users of its website, all we ask is that if a dog is re-homed then you contact NASDU so we can amend the site.

Mallie is a one year old neutered female. She has had three homes so far and is still a little under socialised with people and dogs (may bark and lunge). Mallie is therefore looking for a very experienced home where she can continue with training and socialisation. Mallie is very bright and affectionate girl who is starting to enjoy playing with toys. She is kennelled and regularly walked with dogs and is fine with them, but she protected her owner from his dogs in the last home, so ideally not to be homed with dogs.

Very good house dog, very affectionate towards people in the home. Keen to learn and please.

Unfortunately protective while on the lead. Sometimes will bark at people but will leave when told but is ok once greeted. Due to lack of social skills with other dogs can be aggressive towards other dogs. Which I feel could be corrected with training, this takes time and although I have only had Saphire for a short time, she has come a long way and I cannot put in the time. When she came to me four weeks ago she'd had no basic training, she walks to heel now and will sit and lay down to command. Gives paw and goes to bed when told. She could with effort become a good companion to some one who knows the breed but may be better suited to working dog, ie security/patrol.
