Although he can be wary around males, Beiber is looking for an experienced owner willing to put in the time to build a bond with him before he moves in.

Speaking about the cute pooch, the EDCH said: "Beiber is looking for an experienced owner with an adult only home where he will be the only pet. New owners must be prepared to make several visits to help build a bond with him before rehoming.

"Beiber can be a loving and affectionate boy, although this is on his own terms. He is very nervous, and particularly wary of males, but with patience and love he has proven to be able to build strong bonds with people he trusts. He is looking for an owner who can provide a controlled and calm environment for him to settle, where he can be given his own space to have some me time when he wants it.

"Beiber loves playing with his soft toys and enjoys having a comfy bed. He is fond of a little treat, and once he has a bond with his owner, he will show how much he enjoys human contact and belly rubs."

You can find more information about Beiber on the EDCH website.
