About Archer 
  • A laid back, happy boy;
  • Likes cuddles on the sofa;
  • Sleeps in his owners bed;
  • Likes playing with his toys;
  • Is scared of dogs since being attacked by a Labrador when he was 2 years old;
  • He doesn’t like wind or rain…he’s a Ridgeback !!!;
  • Reactive towards other dogs when outdoors due to fear from being attacked particularly Labradors & Alsations;
  • Has never lived with children;
  • Enjoys walks on the beach & in woodlands;
  • Has never lived with a cat:
  • Travels well in the car;
What Archer needs: 
  • Someone who can give him a calm and steady environment, someone who works from home;
  • Human(s) who will give him cuddles once he gets to know them;
  • A confident owner(s) who is prepared to build trust & work on his confidence & reactivity around other dogs;
  • NO cats;
  • Another dog may be good to help build his confidence back, but it would need careful introductions to ensure Archer is comfortable and feels safe in the initial few days / weeks.
