Rambo is a sweet and loyal boy. His vulnerability and beautiful eyes just make you want to kiss him on his forehead, rub his soft little cheeks and ears and let him know everything will be okay. He will be a great companion as he loves his people and being part of the family.

He lost his world when his person became unwell and had been living in the garage and feeling a bit lonely. However, within a short space of time, he has thrived at his foster home, loving being part of their world enjoying the company of his people and two doggy siblings.

When you first meet Rambo he is quite shy and wary. Now he has got to know and trust his foster family he has come out of his shell – wagging his tail, smiling and letting off a little bark of excitement. He fits in well and lounges around during the day, letting his foster mum work. This makes us think that he would transition well into a calm environment.

Rambo is house trained and will let you know when he needs to be let out and sleeps through the night. He is also working on his recall with his foster carer.

He is a spritely guy who loves his walks and is good on a lead. He hasn’t had a lot of interaction with other dogs, so can be a bit reactive when out and about, especially with bigger dogs, so this is a work in progress. His new people will continue to work with Rambo on his socialisation. He does at times bark at people passing by his house if he sees them. However, the fact that he loves being part of a gang at his foster carers indicates that with time and training, he will be okay.

Rambo is good with older people and visitors in general. He recently went away with his foster family for a beach holiday and adapted well to the change. He loved being part of the family and enjoyed his beach walks and the fresh country air.

Rambo’s foster carers feel he will only continue to grow in confidence in a stable and loving environment, bringing much joy to his lucky forever family. He melts their hearts, and they say it’s impossible not to want to shower him with affection.

Rambo’s ideal forever home will provide a calm environment where he is included and part of the family. One where he is an inside dog and can be around his people. He would prefer a home where someone is around more often than not and he will be equally happy with a doggy friend or on his own.

Are you the best forever home for Rambo? He thinks so. He can’t wait to meet you!
