Sarge is a tall, lanky lad with a gentle heart and very little awareness of his size. After four months in a home, he returned to kennels through no fault of his own — a busy household with children was simply too much for him. He can be boisterous when excited, but underneath he’s affectionate, sensitive, and bonds deeply once he feels safe.

In the home he was clean, settled when left, good on the lead, and very people‑oriented. He struggled with narrow pavements, busy roads, and the excitement of children playing, and he showed some stress‑related guarding toward certain visitors. Since coming back to kennels, none of this has reappeared. He’s relaxed with staff, welcomes fuss, greets visitors politely, and is comfortable with male volunteers.

Out and about, Sarge is friendly and enthusiastic but very strong on the lead and a bit too boisterous around small children. With consistent handling he responds well to training. His personality is a mix of goofy, loving, sensitive, and slightly chaotic; he loves attention, gets excited about outings, and curls himself into tiny balls to sleep.

Sarge needs an adult‑only, calm, spacious home with carpeted areas, a clear safe space to retreat to, and someone confident and physically capable of managing a big, powerful dog. He’ll benefit from continued socialisation and cannot live with cats.

In the right environment, Sarge will shine. He’s affectionate, clean, trainable, and wonderfully loyal once he trusts you. He isn’t suited to first‑time owners, but for someone experienced and patient, he’ll be an incredibly rewarding companion.
