About TROY
TROY is a true people’s dog, calm and affectionate, with a heart as big as his stature. He thrives on human companionship and bonds deeply with those who show him kindness and patience. Despite his size, TROY is well-behaved indoors, non-destructive, and eager to learn. He has made progress with leash training and enjoys walks, although he remains reactive toward other dogs and small animals. With consistent training and love, TROY’s potential is limitless.
His Rescue Story
TROY’s life has been a series of trials. Born into a loving family in Ukraine, his world was turned upside down by war. Left behind when his family fled, he survived as a stray until he was rescued from the streets where his life was at risk. Since arriving in the UK, TROY’s journey has been marked by highs and lows.
Twice rehomed to what seemed to be his forever home, TROY has sadly been returned twice. The first time, it was due to an incident with the family cat, and he proved to be too strong for a retired couple who struggled to manage his strength on walks, particularly when he pulled towards distractions. The second time, he was returned after an unfortunate incident where, while being walked, the person handling him stopped to chat with someone. TROY chewed through his lead, escaped, and bit the other person’s dog. Despite his struggles, he remains a loving and hopeful soul, yearning for stability and a family to call his own.
Kennel Update
TROY has been in kennels for five months, and while he has shown incredible resilience, it’s clear he longs for a home. His carers describe him as loving and eager to please, with no signs of self-destructive behaviour despite the challenges of kennel life. Here’s what one carer said:
“He’s definitely not self-destructive in the kennel; he doesn’t gnaw at his paws or fur. He really is such a lovely dog. Considering his size and weight, I have no issues walking him. He doesn’t pull at all, and even when he does react, he can be handled and turned. He learns quickly and just needs someone willing to work with him. TROY needs lots of love and affection—he’s not suited to being a guard dog but rather a devoted companion.”
Ideal Home for TROY
TROY needs a family who:
💙 Lives in a quiet, countryside setting with less exposure to triggers like busy streets or noisy environments.
💙 Can commit to ongoing training to build his confidence and manage his reactivity.
💙 Has experience with large breeds and understands his needs.
💙 Has no other pets and children aged 14+ who can respect his size and energy.
💙 A large garden would be ideal for TROY to stretch his legs and enjoy some zoomies. He’s not a high-energy dog but does benefit from regular, peaceful walks in quiet areas.
With time, patience, and love, TROY will blossom into the loyal and devoted companion he is destined to be.
Health Information
TROY is fully healthy, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He has been tested for Brucella canis, and a licensed laboratory certificate will accompany him to his new home.
Be the Miracle for TROY
If you are the family or person who can offer TROY the love, patience, and stability he needs, please step forward.
Let’s change TROY’s world together.
