Max – 8 year old male Cockapoo

Meet Max – 8-year-old Cockapoo boy

Max is a lovely Cockapoo currently being fostered in an adult home in Gloucestershire, where he is living alongside other dogs.

He came into our care due to the ill health of both of his previous owners, which meant they could no longer care for him. It’s clear he has been much loved and well looked after.

Max has been with us for just under a week, and we are still getting to know him, but what is already very apparent is what a gentle, affectionate, and easy boy he is. He has settled into his foster home really well with no major issues and has proven to be a wonderful house guest.

He is great with both people and other dogs, enjoying their company and even starting to play. He walks nicely both on and off the lead and is relaxed when meeting other dogs out and about.

Max is a typical Cockapoo in many ways — a sensitive, loving little soul who forms strong bonds with his people. He does have a “velcro dog” nature and likes to be close to you. In his previous home, he slept with his owners, and he is currently sleeping upstairs with his foster carer.

There are a couple of things to be aware of as he continues to settle:

Max has been left for up to two hours and did howl on and off during that time. There was no destruction or bad behaviour — he was simply unsettled.

We are told that in his previous home he could be left for a few hours with other dogs without any issues, so this may well improve as he becomes more secure. It is still very early days for him.

He is also not fully comfortable in the car at the moment. He does not get sick but can be quite unsettled during journeys, which again is something we were made aware of and may improve with time and reassurance.

The home Max needs:

We feel Max would be happiest in a home:

With another friendly dog for companionship

With someone who understands rescue dogs and can give him time to fully settle

Where someone is around most of the time, especially initially

Max is a deeply loving, sensitive boy who just wants to be close to his people. Given a little time and patience, he will make an incredibly devoted companion.

Max is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has been very well cared for throughout his life.

If you feel you can offer Max the loving, understanding home he deserves, please email us for an application form.

If you want, I can also do you a shorter Facebook version or one with a bit more “pull on the heartstrings” for engagement ?

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...
