About This Dog

Sherlock's ideal home

Sherlock is a wonderful 13yr old Collie who is putting his detective skills to work and is on a very important mission — sniffing out his forever home. Some puppies just never grow up, and Sherlock is the perfect example! Despite being a senior gentleman, he is still full of life and ready to enjoy his golden years. Sherlock would love a nice quiet home where he can relax and enjoy life at his own pace. He could be the only pet in the home or potentially live with a calm smaller dog who would respect his boundaries. He could also live with older secondary school-aged children who understand that he is an older gentleman and can give him the gentle approach he deserves. Sherlock can be left for a couple of hours and will always be waiting to greet you with a waggy tail when you return. Sherlock does have some medical requirements but this can be discussed with our vet team.

Could you be Sherlock's perfect match?

Sherlock’s favourite thing in the world is toys, and he truly believes they are the key to a happy life! Whether he is carrying them around, playing with them or proudly showing them off, his love for toys is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. He also enjoys his walks and is a lovely companion to have by your side. Sherlock travels well in the car, although he would appreciate some steps to help him get in and out comfortably. If you think you could be the perfect match for this amazing oldie, please add Sherlock to your favourites and submit an application!
