Steve – 5 year old male English Pointer

Steve is a male English Pointer and around 5 and a half years old.

Constantina and Katy say they’ll never forget the way that Steve looked when they rescued him from the pound. It wasn’t just that he was so terribly emaciated, it was that he looked so defeated and broken ?

A couple of weeks at the sanctuary later and this beautiful English Pointer had put on weight, started to wag his tail and was standing that little bit taller.

He continued to improve and gain confidence, but we could see that his spirit wouldn’t fully recover until he was in a home. Once again we sought the help of a foster home that has offered salvation to so many of our rescues over the years.

Almost as soon as he arrived in his foster home we were amazed. Steve relaxed! He slept, he explored the garden, he wagged his tail, he slept some more… It was beautiful to see!

Steve has been allowed to take everything at his own pace and this was absolutely crucial. He was very happy in his new environment and loved the company of the other dogs and humans in his foster home, but he didn’t want to go out into the big bad world. That was just fine! He had a garden that he ran around and explored and he was safe and happy.

Now, after 3 months in his foster home, Steve is able to enjoy a visit to the enclosed field with his friends and the videos of him bounding around with his tail wagging, enjoying all the smells made us all tear up with joy! He’s also managed a little walk down the lane.

Steve is still happiest in the house and garden and he loves his humans and loves his doggy foster siblings. No doubt when he moves to his forever home he will need a period of adjustment but once settled he will continue to grow in confidence and to enjoy life!

Steve would definitely prefer a home with another resident dog or dogs and he is fine with cats as well. If you would like more information about him, his foster family will be more than happy to talk to you and arrange a meeting.

SPDC adoption package and homecheck applies.

5 Simple Tricks To Develop a Connection with Your Dog

It is not difficult to fail to remember that creatures are living animals with pulsating hearts. Very regularly we as individuals assume that we have syndication on this planet and that we alone can feel feeling. Be that as it may, this isn’t accurate the least bit. A large number of you might have seen the new video via web-based media that was viral as of late in which a dog perceived a man that had saved her and showed her appreciation in a way that moved everyone present to tears. If you have not watched that video, you definitely should watch it immediately! dogs cry ponies can observe looks of people , felines are shrewd, chimpanzees express feelings, and so on You could be pardoned for not knowing this, as may be our greatest imperfection as people is the haughtiness that we in some cases appear to ooze which will unavoidably achieve our defeat one day or the other. So, the reason for this article isn’t to reveal insight into the theory. We will return to the past assertion in

Boton – 5 month old male Basset Fauve de Bretagne Cross

Image
Boton is a 5 month old male Basset Fauve de Bretagne Cross. He is the result of another irresponsible litter. We rescued the mother with her babies when they were one month old in Northern Spain. After fighting against parvovirus only 2 babies survived and Botón is one of them. Poor Boton has had some bad luck in his short life… We thought we had found a lovely home for him, and then without so much as an explanation, the prospective adopters disappeared. So for this reason, Boton is still looking for his forever home, and we really want to make sure this time around, it’s the right one. His brother was recently adopted to the UK, and is doing very well, settling in like an absolute star and loving the company and attention of his new family. Boton is a well socialised and happy boy, he loves to play with other dogs and is friendly towards people, but he hasn’t been used to life in a home environment, so his future family need to be patient and understanding with him, to help him
