Kildare dog of the week: Argus loves a good cuddle and his daily walks
Kildare West Wicklow Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (KWWSPCA) introduce Argus, who is seeking a new home
Last week, we introduced you to our smallest lurcher, and this week we thought it was only fair that his big brother got his moment in the spotlight. Meet Argus!
Slightly taller than his brother, Argus is still a relatively small lurcher, falling more into the medium sized category. At just over a year old, he is still a young dog with plenty of life and love ahead of him.
Like his brother, Argus had a very sheltered upbringing before arriving into our care, having had little or no exposure to the outside world. However, with the dedication and encouragement of our wonderful volunteers, he has made tremendous progress and continues to grow in confidence every day. He is also quite the handsome fellow, with a particularly striking feature, his beautiful and very unusual green eyes!
Argus is a gentle, young and timid boy who can understandably feel nervous when approached by unfamiliar people.
However, once he has had the opportunity to get to know you and build trust, his affectionate nature shines through. He loves a good cuddle and thoroughly enjoys getting out for his daily walks.
Having always shared his life with his brother, Argus would be quite happy to share his new home with another canine companion, pending a successful meet and greet. In fact, the presence of a confident dog could help him build his own confidence and discover that the big, wide world isn’t quite so frightening after all.
That said, having another dog is certainly not a requirement for his adoption. With patience, understanding and plenty of love, Argus could thrive as an only dog too.
This lovely young boy has already come such a long way. All he needs now is a patient, loving home where he can continue to blossom at his own pace and discover just how wonderful life can be.
Christmas fairs
A reminder that we have our first of our two Christmas fairs coming up this coming weekend on Sunday, November 22 from 12 noon to 5pm in Newbridge Town Hall. So be sure to mark the date in your diary, as there will be plenty of opportunities to pick up some fabulous Christmas gifts while supporting a very worthwhile cause. Our thanks, as always, to our wonderful supporters, whose generosity enables us to continue caring for so many animals in need.
