Adorable Aladdin is one of those dogs who quietly steals hearts. Although he is handsome, fluffy and full of personality, he has now spent almost 600 days waiting for his forever home, and Love Underdogs truly cannot understand how this beautiful boy is still overlooked. He would love nothing more than to be curled up safely in a home of his own.
Originally rescued from a shelter in Romania, Aladdin arrived with the world feeling like quite a frightening place. Everything was new to him — even wearing a harness and going for walks took time, patience and trust. Now Aladdin has blossomed into a funny, affectionate and deeply lovable dog who is so ready for his next chapter. Aladdin is also incredibly striking in appearance. With his fluffy double coat and unusual mountain-dog look, he turns heads everywhere he goes and people are constantly asking what breed he is.
Aladdin is an 8 year old, male, medium-sized gent who weighs 27kg. He is a wonderfully goofy, playful boy with a brilliant sense of humour. He has a smile that rarely leaves his face and a playful, bouncy nature that makes him such a joy to be around. He absolutely loves his toys, enjoys pottering around on walks, and is also very talented at relaxing dramatically in his bed while watching the world go by.
Aladdin has that lovely “little shadow” quality — the kind of dog who will quietly bond very deeply with his person and look to them for reassurance and guidance. He can still be a little skittish at times and, when unsure, he may hover close to your legs looking for comfort and support. But there is absolutely nothing bad in him — he is a truly gentle, harmless and sweet-natured dog.
Aladdin has already come such a long way. While he can still be thoughtful around new people initially, he now walks beautifully on the lead and enjoys getting out and about. He is no longer the frightened dog he once was, but he will always likely have a slightly sensitive and cautious side to his personality. Because of this, he needs people who understand that confidence is built through kindness, patience and trust.
Watching Aladdin continue to blossom, settle and deepen his bond with his people will be incredibly special. He will need a few visits prior to adoption so he can feel comfortable, particularly with his new family handling his harness and building familiarity with him.
Aladdin has been lovely with the female dogs here and enjoys calm canine company. He can sometimes find very boisterous male dogs a little overwhelming, so gentle introductions suit him best. He could happily live with the right calm dog companion, although this is not essential. Children aged 16+ would also be okay but he does have a tendency to chase cats and small animals.
Aladdin would thrive in a calm, understanding home where he can continue building confidence while also enjoying life and adventures with his people. Aladdin needs someone who enjoys building a genuine bond with a dog and understands that trust is something precious. Someone who is kind, calm and patient and who is ready to include their dog in daily life. He is the kind of dog who will absolutely blossom in the right home. He may not want to spend time with every stranger immediately, but when he bonds with you, it feels incredibly genuine and special.
Aladdin is neutered and has been fully vet-checked for medical concerns and tests. He has rescue back-up and behavioural support for life
