PROFILE
Virgil is Our Cheeky 2 Year-Old Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross
Virgil came into the RSPCA in May 2024 and through no fault of his own but unfortunately his owners couldn't provide Virgil what he needed. BUT this hasn't stopped Virgil as it certainly didn't take him long to make himself at home as well as the staff falling in love with his cheeky little personality.
Virgil has progressed massively sine being at Preston Branch as he did struggle with some manners and had a habit of jumping up to greet. Virgil does really well listening to his handler and their commands especially for food. Virgil looooves his food so this makes training very easy.
Virgil is your typical Staffy who loves a good fluffy toy to rip into shreds - so don't go out buying expensive toys because Virgil will make sure they won't last ;) Virgil hasn't shown any of destructiveness in the centre apart from with his toys so as long as he's given plenty of enrichment and things to keep him occupied he is happy.
Virgil is a friendly boy when it comes to people, he loves meeting a greeting everyone but we do have to remind him when we go for offsite walks that not everyone wants to be his friend unfortunately and to keep all 4 paws on the ground.
Virgil is looking for an adult only home with an experienced dog owner. As Virgil has some anxiety, he will need lots of support when settling into his new home. Virgil is looking to be the only pet in the home – although Virgil gets on with other dogs he would benefit from a home without other animals and someone to give him all the care and love he needs.
