Ripple – 5 year old male Terrier Cross

Please meet Resilient Ripple! Ripple is a gorgeous little terrier type that is 5 years old. Ripple was saved from the Chinese meat market by Harbin Rescue.

Yes, dogs are food in China. If you don’t know the meat markets are absolutely evil and the treatment the dogs get and the things they have seen is nothing short of hell. Little Ripple is one of the lucky ones and has come to us in the UK to find his forever home.

If you are not aware, there are no animal welfare laws in China so no dog is ever safe there, which is why the dogs are sent overseas to be rehomed, to make sure they are safe and loved for life!

Ripple was initially quite bewildered when he arrived in foster with us, but that is totally understandable given he had a 14 hour flight followed by a few hours drive, he sat back and watched for a couple of days and was very submissive, although all he wanted was to have a snuggle with me, its very easy to fall in love with this adorable little lad.

I mean, just look at him!

The first time Ripple came on a pack walk with us, he loved it, feeling grass for the first time and being able to run and sniff and roll, he had an absolute ball! He loves to gallop around with the others, and he will do anything for food!

Ripple is a beautiful little lad and will make a very rewarding addition to his new family.

Poor little Ripples world was turned upside down when he arrived with us, but despite that, he just wanted to be loved. He has settled well into our routine and loves pack life. Once he likes you, he follows you everywhere and just loves to be cuddled. He is very typical of the breed, extremely loving and loyal and bonds very quickly to his people.

Ripple is neutered, microchipped, de flead and wormed and fully vaccinated. Ripple is house trained, he needs to learn to lead walk as currently, as soon as something restricts him, he will just roll over submissively.

Hardly surprising as he was likely strung up in the meat market. He is not destructive and can be left for short periods. He loves to be left snoozing on my bed and is often snuggled up with the cat!

He is a very social little lad so could live with other dogs and I think a resident dog would really help his confidence!

Ripple is adorable both inside and out, and to think he almost ended up on someone’s plate is just heartbreaking. Ripple doesn’t have much experience of children so would be best suited to an adult only home where his humans can dote on him. He is also absolutely fine with cats.

Ripple is an inquisitive and responsive little lad, quick to learn and easy to train, He loves his home comforts and a cuddle, and likes to sleep on the bed with you if he is allowed, basically he is a little snuggle bug.

Ripple travels very well in the car, he is just an all round pleasure to have. Whoever adopts this little lad will be very lucky indeed as he really has the most amazing character, and I am sure he is grateful to be out of China and just want to love his humans.

Can you offer this beautiful little lad the home he so desperately deserves?

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...
