Demba

Hi, I’m Demba! I’m a big-hearted boy with a serious cuddling addiction and absolutely no respect for personal boundaries. If you sit down, I’ll be there. If you lie down, I’ll be there. If you need to use the toilet alone, well… I can’t promise anything. I love people, gentle kisses and leaning in for cuddles like my life depends on it. Basically, I’m a weighted blanket with legs!

I’m currently living it up in foster care with my little doggy housemate, and I have to say, I’m rather enjoying the luxury! I also adore my big mate Argos, so clearly, I’m a firm believer that another dog is just a friend I haven’t met yet.

I do have epilepsy, but my medication is working brilliantly and I haven’t had a seizure since starting treatment. I’ll need daily medication, regular vet visits and blood tests for life, so I’m looking for a responsible human who’s ready for that commitment. And if you happen to have epilepsy yourself, we could be the ultimate seizure-awareness duo… although I should probably mention that I’m not qualified to look after your medication, so we’ll both need to leave that to the professionals!

I’ve been waiting longer than any of my friends on the program, which is honestly a bit rude because I’m an absolute catch. If you’ve got room on your couch, in your heart and possibly in your personal bubble, please give me a chance. I promise to bring the cuddles, the kisses and a lifetime supply of unconditional love. What do you say? Could you be my person?

Love and absolutely no personal space, Demba.
