Adopt a Dog

🤍 Meet Giovanni 🤍

At 9 years old, Giovanni should be enjoying the comforts of a loving home, not waiting in rescue.

Sadly, Giovanni found himself at the vets to be euthanised after his owner reported that he had started fighting with the other resident dog. We couldn’t let his story end there.

The two dogs had reportedly lived happily together for most of their lives before the fighting began. Since coming into our care, we’ve seen a very different side of Giovanni. The two boys are happy to walk alongside each other and interact like old friends, with no signs of conflict. However, because of their history, we feel it’s in both of their best interests to be rehomed separately.

Giovanni is an absolute sweetheart and has quickly become a firm favourite with our volunteers. He’s incredibly affectionate, loves a fuss, and is always happy to make new friends. Whether it’s a volunteer he’s known for weeks or someone he’s only just met, Giovanni is always ready to greet them with his gentle, friendly nature.

He’s a dream to walk on the lead, taking everything in his stride, and has shown very little interest in other dogs while out and about, happily passing them without fuss. And don’t let his age fool you—Giovanni still loves his walks and is a surprisingly active boy who enjoys getting out and about to explore.

We’re looking for a home with older children (13+) as Giovanni hasn’t lived with younger children before. We think he’ll thrive in a home where he can enjoy plenty of love, adventures, cosy naps, and all the attention he deserves.

After everything he’s been through, Giovanni has shown us nothing but kindness and affection. He deserves a family who will see what we see every day—a wonderful, gentle soul with so much love still to give.

Could you be the one to give Giovanni the happy retirement he’s been waiting for? ❤️

If you think you could offer Giovanni the forever home he deserves, we’d love to hear from you.
