#NOBASSETGETSFORGOTTEN 

Bella and Gordon came into foster on the 9th March and both settled well.

Both are tri coloured, Bella is 8 years old and  Gordon is 6.

Bella is a loving girl has impeccable manners; Gordon is a super boy very loving adores cuddles and men! 

Both have a good appetite they are fed butchers grain free wet food with mixer biscuits, they show no food aggression can be fed together.  They were also fed with other foster hounds without any issues.  

Treat wise gravy bones are a winner. 

Both walk on a collar and lead can get very excited prior to walks but they soon calm down. When out on walks can appear to be reactive to other dogs but they only want to play, their current favorite play mate is a greyhound!

Whilst in foster they have lived with cats as they did in their previous home.  Now and again they will chase the cats but a firm no stops them.  They also lived with two other foster hounds.

They’ve also lived in foster with a parrot, ducks and chickens wihtout any problems.

Both are fully housetrained and love to both sleep on the bed with you. Be prepared, if you move they’ll steal your place.

Both adore playing with toys and bitey face with each other.

No Seperation Anxiety has been displayed here but we do leave the radio on for them 

Gordon:-

Gordon (above) does not like his nails been cut!  He has been to the vets whilst in foster, and has he’s very vocal and he gets anxious,  no aggresion, just anxious about his visits. 

Bella:- 

Bella (above) has recently been diagnosed with an heart murmur, although this doesn’t require medication at the moment itr may will do in the future.

Bella has also whilst in foster had some teeth removed. 

Although both adore people, Bella isn’t a fan of  little humans can get anxious, as such we will only consider homes with secondary school age children. Gordon, however loves everyone! 

Whoever is luckily enough to adopt this duo will love them,  they’ve been a joy to foster.  

Bella and Gordon’s needs:-

• Can live with dog savvy small furries
• Any children need to be of secondary school age, due to Bella’s anxiety around small humans
• Patience and time to spend with Bella and Gordon in the crucial first few weeks as they adapts to their forever home.
• Consideration to Bella’s potential future medeical needs

Taking on a rescue dog is not the easy option. You need to be prepared to help a confused and troubled hound find their place in your family. They have been through a massive upheaval and will need time to settle into a new way of life, so please consider this BEFORE you fill in an application.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

Bella and Gordon are subject to an adoption fees and a successful home check. If your home check is successful, your family including dogs will need to be able to travel to their foster home to meet them and their foster family.

You will also have a telephone call with a member of the team, plus Bella and Gordon’s foster family, so that all of their history can be shared with you in person, and that we can be assured that you can fill all of their needs, demands and requirements.

Both come with 5 weeks free insurance via our rehoming partner, Agria.

Bella and Gordon, as with all of our hounds will have full rescue back up for life.
