Rex – 1 year old male Kangal Cross

Meet regal Rex, a 1.5 year old male Kangal Cross who weighs around 40 kilograms. This beautiful boy was found straying in Nicosia, sadly dumped. He was discovered in a malnourished and sorry state — the poor boy was found just in time.

No one ever came forward to claim him, so he found himself entering a large municipality shelter. For months now, no one has taken an interest in this striking and loving dog.

Dogs like Rex, due to their size, often find themselves languishing in kennels for months or even years. We really don’t want that future for this gentle giant.

People are often put off by his size, even though he’s such a soft guy. Rex has lots of amazing qualities in spite of his size. He’s remarkably sweet and affectionate with people, adores fuss, and craves a good kiss and cuddle. His sweet nature has made him a firm favourite with the shelter staff.

Rex isn’t the greatest fan of other dogs, so we recommend a home with no other pets. He will need a home with some space and a largish garden. His energy is medium — he’ll need steady, short walks due to his size.

Kangals are a sturdy breed who possess some incredible characteristics. A working breed, Rex would appreciate mental stimulation as well as physical.

They often benefit from having a purpose or a small job. They are loyal, protective, and incredibly loving. An adopter who appreciates these large-breed qualities and has some experience would be ideal.

Rex isn’t cat tested; however, we wouldn’t recommend living with small furries due to his size. Families with older children over 12 years are welcome to apply.

We don’t want Rex to lose the best years of his life as a prisoner in a cage — too often the fate of large breeds. His size shouldn’t matter. He’s a dog! He has the same needs as any other dog, yet his size works against him — sadly, we see this all the time in rescue.

Please think about Rex when considering adopting a dog. A dog who will give you his all, love unconditionally, and be a loyal, gentle giant. A Kangal’s loyalty is not to be underestimated.

Rescue back-up: Saving Souls Animal Rescue, a UK-registered charity.

Travel and adoption fees apply.

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...

Dog Friendly Beaches On The Florida Panhandle

Image
Florida is know for its beaches — and that’s a double-edged sword. Sure, the surf and sand are spectacular, but they can also be very crowded. If you’re looking for a lovely stretch of coastline with a more tranquil vibe, check out these great dog friendly beaches on the Florida Panhandle!   A trip to Florida means time at the beach, and there’s nothing better than finding a shore town that you and your dog can enjoy together. With 825 miles of coastline in the state, you’d think there would be enough for everyone! Unfortunately, many of Florida’s popular beaches feel overcrowded. And another big bunch don’t allow dogs. So where do you go for quiet, dog friendly beaches? We suggest the Florida Panhandle. Specifically, the stretch of coastline from Mexico Beach to St. Marks, affectionately known as “the Forgotten Coast” . In this relatively quiet, undeveloped area of the Florida Panhandle you’ll find laid-back attitudes, friendly locals, gorgeous white sand beaches, Car...
