Biscuit's story
Biscuit was found tied outside a closed shop with a chewed lead and an empty stomach. Within a week at the shelter he had learned the volunteers' footsteps and started waiting at the gate with a toy — any toy — for whoever arrived first.
He knows sit, stay and down, walks well on a harness and sleeps through the night in his crate. He is a classic young retriever: bouncy when happy, mouthy when excited, and completely devoted once he trusts you.
Good to know

Ideal home
A home with a secure garden and someone around most of the day. Older children fine; cats unknown.
Three steps to adopt
- 1. Meet-and-greet. Come and spend time with Biscuit at the shelter — bring everyone who lives with you.
- 2. Home check. A short visit or video call to confirm space, setup and routine suit a Dog · Retriever mix.
- 3. Homecoming. Sign, pay the fee, and take Biscuit home with food, records and a month of message support.
