Humphrey – 14 year old male Spanish Water Dog cross Spaniel

Humphrey is a 14 year old male Spanish Water Dog cross Spaniel. He ended up at the municipal pound in the most terrible state.

Humphrey had such terrible skin, that he didn’t have any hair apart from a few rough patches.

Fast forward a few months to our foster home in the UK and Humphrey was so uncomfortable and constantly scratching that he had to be put onto treatment straight away.

Humphrey is now on Apoquel and getting better. We think he has an overall approximate 90% growth of hair since we rescued him, although can lose some of it during the winter months.

Humphrey has stopped scratching and is much more comfortable now. He will need to continue with Apoquel, or change to another similar medication, so please keep this in mind if applying to adopt, as cost must be taken into consideration.

Humphrey is due to see the vet again soon to undergo further tests to try to get to the root of his skin issues. He may need regular medicated baths going forward.

Humphrey has separation anxiety and likes to be with a human all the time, except at night when he is happy to sleep in a separate room.

Ideally he needs a home where people are around most of the time. He currently lives with other dogs in his foster home and gets on well with them, but can also be rehomed as an only dog.

Humphrey is very food orientated and does tend to rush his food, he may try and take it from your hand if given the opportunity and therefore he could live with 16+ children, who are experienced with dogs.

Humphrey is interested in cats when out and about so ideally a cat free home, just in case! Humphrey is good with other dogs and has shown no aggression but when off the lead will run up to random dogs and bark at them, not aggressively, but almost as if he wants to take charge and herd them into his pack.

His recall is good unless he is busy trying to herd other dogs! He can sometimes bark at dogs when he is on the lead but never aggressively. Humphrey is a special dog that just needs that perfect home that will take his little quirks into consideration. Could that be with you?

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 ...

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...
