About Squid
Hey there! My name's Squid, it's lovely to meet you! I'm a sweet boy who's on the lookout for my furever home! So if you'd like a fun loving Staffy in your life, you should consider adopting me!
I came into the shelter through no fault of my own, and at first I found it pretty overwhelming. It was a scary place to be for a little guy like me. I found it hard to adjust to shelter life though, slowly but surely I began to come out of my shell and learn to love and trust the wonderful staff here. I'd love to go to a home with someone who has owned doggos before. Someone who is experienced and knows a bit about doggy body language so you understand what I'm trying to convey. This way you'll be able to know to take it slow with me, and when to give me a helping hand and some guidance to help me feel safe and comfortable.
For the same reasons I'll need a home that's on the more quiet side. So no crazy wild parties thank you! I'd like a home with not too much foot traffic, so that there aren't too many new people coming and going for me to have to meet and get used to. If you have any children at home, I'd love if they were a bit older, 15 and above, so that they are mature enough to understand me and my body language. This is so they know to take things slow and let me warm up to you and not to overwhelm me. I'm a loving boy but I haven't had an easy start to life, and I'd love my family to give me lots of love, but at my own pace. I warm up quickly though! I've already made so many friends with the staff here at shelter!
I don't mind being around other dogs, I'm happy to walk past them or even give them a quick sniff if we're close. But it would be best for me to go to a home with no other doggos please! They make me a bit unsure, and when living with them in the past I found it hard to get along with them 100% of the time. But that just means I'll be the focus of all your love and attention, lucky me!
I'm a lovely boy who is looking forward to my new life in my furever home. So if I sound like your pawfect pup, please come down to the Sydney shelter to meet me!
Lots of love, Squid xxx
