With so many dogs needing homes, what drew you to this particular dog, and how do you feel they would suit your household and lifestyle?
*
Can you describe what life with this dog would realistically look like in your household on a day-to-day basis?
*
We’re looking for an honest, realistic picture rather than a perfect answer.
Please give us a brief description of your work commitments and how many hours a day the dog / pup would be without human company:
*
What energy levels are you looking for in your new dog?
*
Low energy - Couch potato. Happy to snooze, potter about and keep you company.
Moderate energy - Enjoys daily walks and play, but knows how to chill.
High energy - Always up for walks, jogs, games and getting involved.
Very high energy - If it moves, we’re chasing it. Needs lots of exercise and stimulation.

*
