Shelley – 6 year old female Cross-Breed

Shelley is a 6 year old female Cross-Breed. ” I needing a new home. I have been neutered and microchipped. I am an extremely friendly and social girl who adores people. I love a cuddle, and am always up for a new adventure, or a duvet day on the sofa with my favourite people.

I could live with dog savvy children. I have tested well with other dogs and could live with other dogs or as an only dog. I’m not overly playful with other dogs and would rather have cuddles with a human or chase a ball!! Upon a routine check up, it was discovered that I have mitral valve disease (MVD) which is a heart problem caused by a faulty heart valve.

Mitral valve disease cannot be cured, but fortunately most dogs can be well managed with medication and lifestyle changes. At this point in time, it’s not affecting my health or exercise regime but my new family need to be aware that this is a degenerative condition and there is no way to tell how slowly or quickly this will progress…but can eventually lead to heart failure as I age.

I still have a lot of energy and love my walks! After my heart scan, I have started medication and will need check ups every 6 months. My current medication is around £20 per month but this may increase in time if I need additional medication, and of course will not be covered by insurance.

I understand that the above will put many people off from adopting me…but i am putting myself out there because I have a world of love to give to my new family and I have everything crossed that someone will see past my heart issue…and take me into their heart and home where I promise I will fill your days with love and laughter….and lots of snuggles!! I have a high prey drive so cannot live with cats or small furries!

I can live with dog savvy children. I am a perfect patient at the vets, and am working on walking nicely on the lead (I won’t lie, I do pull a lot at first…I just have a healthy enthusiasm for new adventures and can’t wait to get going!) I would love a home where someone is always around, or with someone who can take me to work with them.” – Quote

Phoebe 1-2 year old female Shepherd Cross

Image
Phoebe is a 1-2 year old female Shepherd Cross. She sleeps downstairs in a large crate with the door open. Her current owner has been sleeping downstairs with her. She will sometimes wake during the night to make her home aware she needs the toilet. Phoebe wakes up most mornings at 6 am. Phoebe is happy to be groomed/brushed by the female in the home. Phoebe enjoys going out into the garden to sniff around and explore. She goes out on a slip lead with no issues. Phoebe has yet to go for a proper walk due to her building her confidence in the garden first and getting used to the lead. It is encouraged that she should wear a harness but this has yet to be introduced. Positive reward training and allowing Phoebe to explore the harness initially will need to be carried out. She hasn’t been left unattended in the home since arrival so correct training around leaving her for short periods will be vital to prevent anxiety behaviours. Phoebe listens to commands well and will sit for treat...

Pet Friendly San Antonio: Exploring The River Walk & Beyond

Image
San Antonio is a fun, pet friendly vacation destination. With the famous River Walk park stretching 15 miles, you’ll love exploring all the neighborhoods and historic sites along the way!   Founded as a Spanish mission and colonial outpost in 1718, San Antonio became the first chartered civil settlement in present-day Texas in 1731. For the history buffs among us, there’s a lot to see! Now San Antonio is among the nation’s fastest-growing cities. But the downtown area is still easily walkable with your pet. And our favorite way to explore the city is on foot (and paw). San Antonio’s Pet Friendly River Walk Ages ago, when Rod and I first visited the San Antonio, the River Walk was a fun, slightly seedy, tourist destination. Since then, initiatives have extended and beautified this spectacular urban oasis. The original U-shaped section, packed with bars, restaurants, hotels, and crowds, still anchors the River Walk. But now the park stretches runs 15 miles, following the cou...
