Apollo is a 6 month old male Cross-Breed. Apollo is a puppy, rescued in Cyprus who has flown to a foster home in the UK, near Braintree, to help him in his search for a forever family and home.

No one wants to be that person … the one with barking dogs in a pet friendly hotel. Learn what to teach your dog before you travel together, and tips to keep him quiet during your next hotel stay!   There are a lot of reasons we don’t want to have barking dogs in hotels. Not only is it heartbreaking to think of your dog that distressed. It would also be embarrassing to know that you’re responsible for disturbing other guests. And it could be expensive if the hotel asks you and your dog to leave! Barking Dogs In Hotels Leads to Higher Pet Fees However, the real cost of barking dogs in hotels could affect the entire pet travel community. Some hotels actually stop allowing pets because of the bad experiences they’ve had. Recently, a hotel manager asked to have his hotel listing removed from  GoPetFriendly.com . When I asked why they were no longer pet friendly, this was his response: [Being pet friendly…] has cost us too much in guest satisfaction and in r...

Stitch is a large crossbreed aged around seven to eight years. We met Stitch in March during our trip to the Botosani public shelter. In fact, us being there saved his life because he was badly attacked and if we hadn’t intervened the other dog would not have stopped until he’d killed him. He was badly injured but after a few weeks of recovery, he came to the UK. He was pretty depressed and shut down so it’s taken some weeks to get him to a point where he can go up for adoption. He’s still not completely sure he wants to be around people but he is warming up to the idea! He is now enjoying walks, but doesn’t want to go too far as he’s quite lazy and really wants to get back to his bed! He gets on well with other dogs despite his previous ordeal. Stitch will need a home with someone who understands he may never be that dog that bounds forward with a wagging tail to greet them at the door. He’s beginning to be a bit more interested in what the humans in the horse are doing but mostl...

Leo is a 4-year-old male Griffon Nivernais. This breed is known for its affectionate nature, and Leo is no exception, as he enjoys being petted and showing affection to those around him. Standing at 53 cm to the withers, he has a sturdy build typical of his breed. Initially, he pulls a bit on the lead due to excitement, but with consistent training, he can learn to walk calmly. Leo is good with all dogs, making him a social companion in dog-friendly environments; however, he needs to be fed separately, indicating that he may be protective of his food. While he doesn’t engage much in play with other dogs, his curiosity keeps him exploring his surroundings. He is not suitable to live with cats, so potential adopters should ensure a feline-free home. Housetrained, Leo is ready to settle into a new home without the added stress of accidents. His love for food means he is always hungry, so his new owner should be mindful of his diet. He does well with older children, making him a suit...
