Mambo's Story

Hi, I'm Mambo ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿพ I'm a sweet, gentle boy with a soft heart... I just need a little time to show you. When I first came into the shelter, I was really scared of the world-but I've been working hard on building my confidence, and I'm getting braver every day! I've formed some special bonds with my favourite people, and once I trust you, I'll be right by your side. I love leaning in for pats or quietly sitting next to you-being close to my person is my favourite place to be ๐Ÿฅฐ New places can still feel a bit overwhelming for me, so I'm looking for a patient and understanding human who will give me the time and space I need to settle in. At first, I'd much prefer to hang out at home with you while we build our bond, rather than heading straight out on big adventures. I'm still learning about touch and handling, and I can get a bit excited or mouthy if I feel overwhelmed. I just need gentle, positive guidance (and tasty treats!) to help me feel safe and relaxed-promise I'm trying my best. I'm starting to enjoy my walks more, especially in calm, quiet areas. Busy places can still worry me, so slow and steady is the way to go. I'm also still learning my lead manners, so I'll need some ongoing training to help me along. I'd do best in a home with older teens who understand how to give me space and read my body language when I need a break. ๐Ÿถ Dog friends? I've actually been pretty lovely with other dogs! I've shown I can be soft, social, and relaxed, especially with calm companions, so I'd be happy to meet a potential friend. I'm just a quiet, loving boy who needs someone to believe in me and go at my pace. Once I feel safe, I'll give you all the love I have to give-and trust me, it's a lot ๐Ÿ’• Love, Mambo ๐Ÿพ

What should I feed my dog?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, itโ€™s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my dog?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and familyโ€™s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
