Please give a big welcome to 2 year old Dorian who joined the family yesterday, yes that’s 3 hounds in 3 days!
Dorian is under assessment, so please no enquiries they will go unanswered.
Dorian was a superstar on his transport, all the volunteers fell in love with him. However Dorian is a very complex lad. He suffers massively from anxiety, not just separation anxiety (which is incredibly high) but is generally a very anxious boy. So much so his previous family’s vet put him on a daily mixture of sedatives. Our aim is to reduce these under vet consult, so we can fully assess him and his needs whilst in foster. We are hopeful these will be a thing of the past in Dorian’s future.
His previous family did not have him for very long, but they tried everything with him, we have his full records and his behaviourist report, all of which have been considered, passed onto his foster family and their vets.
We do know some of Dorian’s background from the last 2 years, and we can see where some of his anxieties come from. We are confident with the right help, medical and behavioural, a pack of bassets, freedom to move about when he wants to and someone who can be with him and he with them all day this lovely lad will come right.
He’s incredibly loving, upon arrival at foster yesterday, he met his foster siblings, had a good mooch about, ate his dinner and happily got up on foster mum’s knee for a snuggle and nap.
Dorian does have a wish list which is below. If this is empty then all of his wishes have come true. As always everything will stay with Dorian throughout foster to his forever home. You will see we have added some gentle calming treats and supplements, as well as long lasting treats to help with enrichment. We are hoping a transition from the medication to these will help Dorian remain calm and happy.
If you would rather donate to his care, the link is also below, as well as the link for this month’s raffle (£5.00 a ticket)
We will keep you updated on this handsome blue eyed boy.
