Character
Dear little Angus (born 2020 and 14kg) would make a lovely companion dog. He is blind, lazy, human-centric and very, very sweet. He is fostered in Moray, Scotland.
Angus (previously named Guccio) was snapped up when we first promoted him back in the summer of 2024, but due to relationship breakdown his adopter is no longer able to take him.
Angus is happy in his foster home, where he has been for some months. He lives with 4 other rescue dogs - all independent characters who mostly leave each other alone - but he would really like a home where he could bond closely with a human and be all theirs.
Angus would thrive as an only dog, but he can also live with other dogs - ideally calm, passive dogs who will give him space. He may be very happy to make a close dog friend, but we haven’t seen that tendency to date.
On first arrival in foster, Angus was a little growly towards the other dogs and protective of his bed. This is likely his settling-in behaviour and would happen again as he acclimatises to a new home. However, the right adopter will understand that all rescue (and blind) dogs will need patience and gentle introductions to other dogs in their first days.
Although he does not live with cats at present, Angus was cat tested in Romania.
Angus isn’t one for lots of exercise. When he first arrived in foster, he didn’t want to go out at all. Now he enjoys his daily walk around the park, striding confidently ahead on his lead. He is delighted to have his harness put on and he doesn’t pull on the lead when walking.
Angus could probably do with a little more exercise, being slightly chunky… but whoever adopts Angus will probably want to love him as he is. 95% of the time, Angus is to be found in his bed.
Angus is in good condition, is housetrained, sleeps through the night and is quiet and calm.
In his past life, Angus was found living in the yard of a military unit in Romania. He may have been dumped there, he may just have been living amongst the larger dogs and fending for himself.
The vet who initially examined him believed his blindness is due to a blow to the head - an accident or cruelty.
Angus resembles a tiny yellow Labrador with his wide nutty head, but he has very small, short legs, and a longish body, almost Corgi-style. He is as sweet as he looks!

Please note - we do not rehome dogs to families with children under the age of 10.
Type of Home Sought
Angus is a resilient little chap and will adapt to most places. He could be an only dog - close to his human most of the time. A home where someone is at home most of the time would be ideal.
Angus can live with other dogs, providing the resident dogs are respectful and calm.
He could live with an older person as he does not pull on the lead or require a lot of exercise. He does, however, need picking up when he is put in the car or on the sofa, so it needs to be someone who can reach down to his level and pick up a decent chunk - 14kg.
