Foster home - found
|
We are urgently looking for a temporary foster home for approx. 8/12 weeks for Luna, who is 5 years old. She is a loving, gentle girl who is used to living with children, but she needs to be the only dog in the house - and there must be no cats.
She is a strong girl on the lead and can be reactive towards other dogs, so she will need a firm hand when walking (or a large garden where she doesn't need to go for too many walks!) Can you help? If so, please contact either: Karen Kerby on 07712 669707 or email karen.kerby@hcbw.org.uk or Lorraine Harvey on 07760 178529 or email lorraine.harvey@hcbw.org.uk. A home check visit will apply and ideally the foster home will be in the Midlands or South East of England |

Winnie & Ronda **rehomed** |
We are looking for a special home for 2 delightful litter sisters, who need to stay together.
They are 6 years old and the best of friends. Both dogs are fully vaccinated but not neutered, which will need to be arranged as soon as they are settled in their new home and HCBW will pay for this. They are generally OK with other dogs, but we are looking for a home without another resident dog – as they say, three’s a crowd! They are super friendly with people, but very excitable when you first meet them. Once they calm down, though, they are loving, gentle dogs – really, they just need to learn when to stop bouncing! We would consider re-homing them to a family with children, providing introductions went well, as anyone meeting them would need to be able to cope with two excitable boxers. If you think you could offer Winnie & Ronda a home together, or would like more information, please contact Karen Kerby either via email ( karen.kerby@hcbw.org.uk ) or phone 07712 669707 The dogs are currently in Buckinghamshire, so you will need to be able to travel there to meet them, and a satisfactory HCBW home-check will also need to be completed. |

IMPORTANT INFORMATION, please read:
Working in dog rescue can be about finding a home for a poor, abandoned dog, who needs someone to show them that they are loved; someone to give them shelter, water, food and cuddles. It’s amazing when you see a dog come through the trauma of being neglected, to becoming the happy loving dog they are all meant to be. And, let’s face it, we all love to watch Paul O’Grady work his magic for the cameras on TV supporting the work that the larger rescue centres do.
Unfortunately, this is only a small proportion of the work that breed rescues perform. Many of the dogs we are asked to help come to us because the owner is looking for help, or to rehome a dog whose needs are not being met in their current situation. The dog is too boisterous, or pulls too much, or is scaring the family, or doesn’t get on with other dogs, or is scared of visitors…. the list goes on.
While these dogs are struggling in their current environment, we are always prepared to give them a second chance by placing them with someone who, we hope, will put in the time and effort to show them that life can be fun and doesn’t have to be so fraught with anxiety.
Please think before you apply to adopt a Boxer. We rarely have dogs who will slot into a new family without you noticing. Boxers are, by their nature, bouncy, inquisitive and boisterous. They thrive on being with people. They want to be with you, whatever you are doing. But they also need to understand that they don’t have to be constantly demanding your attention, or protecting you from danger. This is where you have to put in the work at the beginning to reap the rewards later. Rescuing a Boxer is not an easy pastime!
It might not take long for a rescue dog to adapt to its new home and settle in, as if they’ve been there forever. On the other hand, it might take a longer time. There is no guarantee either way, and there is also no way of predicting how quickly this will happen. If you are not able to spare the time to help the dog adjust, then please think carefully before you offer to take a rescue Boxer.
