You should have the pm now Tracey

I understand how difficult it must have been to have a dog with that level of separation anxiety, but it's worth remembering I guess, that Staffords very much crave human contact, so could in any event happen to a Stafford that isn't a rescue....
Would you consider that you now have the time to work through any similar problems?
Sorry I must sound like the Stafford police sometimes!!!

Did you rehome him?
Character & temperament are definitely the big pull factors toward owning one of these wonderful dogs
