Costello

Description

Successfully rehomed by Battersea Dog Home

Costello is an active and excitable boy who is finding kennel life stressful. He is looking for owners with experience of bull breeds and who are around for the majority of the day to give him time to settle into his new home. He is an intelligent young man and has some nice basics in place. He is also very keen to work for you so should prove a joy to train.

Costello loves to play with his toys and fetches a tennis ball nicely so owners should encourage constructive games with him. Costello is very tolerant of boisterous dogs and owners should make sure that other dogs do not take advantage, he could possibly live with a steady adult female who can act as a companion.
