* SPECIAL APPEAL *
Hi, I’m Trevor’s foster mum, we call him Pudsey now. I am looking for an amazing, kind-hearted family to give a home to my beautiful foster dog. Tears are flowing as I type this, he is sitting beside me, good as gold, as always. I love him so much and he loves us, but he needs a country home, the city is too frightening for him.
Just before Christmas, Pudsey had spent 9 days in the pound. The first few days at my house, his head was down, he was very frightened of loud noises and scarpered & trembled if I picked up any long object, turkey foil or wrapping paper. There are scars on his head and body, the vet believed that he been the victim of cruel abuse, yet he shows no aggression whatsoever. He learned quickly that he was safe and came out of his shell. He’s the sweetest little dog anyone could meet, loves cuddles and playtime, he’s good with my dogs and dogs he meets in the park. He is house trained, well behaved, quiet around the home, doesn’t bark or chew stuff and would make a lovely family pet.
Pudsey (Trevor) has an issue that makes life here difficult for him. He is afraid of walking on a lead. I have been working on this for the last couple of months with no improvement. He’s just terrified, walks low, with tail clamped between legs and eventually won’t walk. He has no problems whatsoever off the lead, will run around ‘happy as Larry’ in the park / beach and loves it! This has become a significant problem for us, as I work 6 days a week, but pop home in the afternoon to take the doggies out for a walk and have limited time to do so. It’s a daily struggle for me & Puds and I don’t live in an area, where it’s not safe to let him off lead. I would love to keep him, but sadly realise that there is a family out there who can provide a better life for him.
Pudsey needs a very kind-hearted, soft-natured family that will love him, in their home (he’s a house dog now). A home with a bit of land, where he can run free without a lead, then cuddle up with his new family. A home that won’t get cross with him (cos there’s no reason to and he can’t take it) and will bring him on country walks. Could anyone offer this to this special dog? I would be happy to take him back if for some reason it didn’t work out for you. Love to you all for choosing a rescue dog, Grainne
