Hi there, I’m Bazinga. It’s lovely to make your acquaintance.

I’m a loving, sweet and affectionate boy who is looking for a new home through no fault of my own. Sadly the family who owned me from a puppy had to move house and they couldn’t take me with them. Despite being an older gent I am still very much full of life. I love to get out and about but I am looking for someone very strong so you can hold me tight as I am very powerful on my lead. For the time being I will have to be exercised on the lead only as I have lost my confidence around other dogs, even though the staff have been working hard with my socialisation. I can be tense when I see a dog and I would rather avoid them than engage. I would be much happier as the only dog so I can be settled and comfortable in my own space. In time if my new owners are able to build up my confidence around other dogs I may be able to play off the lead in the future but this will depend on how my training progresses.

I’m often very excited when I’m in the company of my favourite people, although I’m very careful not to be too rough when I’m playing. I can be overwhelmed easily by lots of new people fussing over me all at once. I like my space and to be able to greet strangers in my own time rather than have affection forced onto me.

Potential adopters must have owned an under confident dog before and have a secure garden with at least 5ft high fencing for me to play safely in. I don’t settle well when travelling so I would like to live with someone who won’t need me to go out for lots of long car journeys.
