Nova – 2-3 year old female Whippet Cross

Nova – 2–3 year old female Whippet Cross (Medium/Large, slim build)ova is a 2–3 year old spayed female Whippet cross currently in foster care in Doncaster. She has a slim, athletic build and enjoys running and open space.

Nova is affectionate, intelligent and sensitive. She thrives on routine and bonds closely with her primary person, often choosing to stay nearby. She enjoys fuss and interaction but benefits from calm, predictable handling.

She is friendly with people and dogs. She may bark briefly when visitors first arrive but settles quickly with reassurance and positive guidance. She has not shown aggression.

Nova plays well with other dogs and would benefit from living with a calm or playful resident dog for companionship and confidence. If she feels unsure, she will give herself space rather than escalate.

She is housetrained, crate trained and understands basic commands.

She walks well on a lead and harness without pulling and is calm around other dogs when out. She travels well in the car and prefers quieter walking environments, as busy areas can make her nervous.

She is improving steadily with continued exposure and training.

Nova is an active dog who enjoys running and outdoor activity, but she also settles well in the home and sleeps soundly overnight.

Nova would suit a patient, structured home able to provide regular exercise, routine and ongoing confidence-building. A secure garden is important for safe exercise. An adult-only home or one with older children would be most appropriate.

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...
