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

George ***REHOMED***

​George hasn't had the best start in life, but he is loving his new forever home 😄

Winnie & Ronda       **REHOMED**

These two lovely affectionate girls were happily rehomed together and are loved by everyone they meet.​

​LENNY ***** REHOMED *****

After spending a long time in foster (longer than we had anticipated due to the Covid19 lock-down), Lenny has persuaded his foster mum that he should stay with her permanently.

Good news all round - they now keep each other company, and he is never left on his own 😊

KAYLA   rehomed

Kayla is now enjoying life with a young family.

She is learning to walk more calmly on a lead and ​is much less reactive to other dogs when she's out.

She has had an operation to remove a couple of nasty lumps, but we are hopeful she'll make a full recovery

​RUBY  rehomed

5 years old / female / unneutered (she will need to be spayed after her next season) / red & white

Suitable home: Ruby is looking for a quietish home with NO other resident, or visiting, dogs. She has been brought up with young children but we would only rehome her with children over 12 years old, as she can be a little boisterous.

Issues: Ruby really doesn't like other dogs.  When out on the lead she will pull, lunge and bark at any dog she sees.  She is quite a strong girl.

In the home Ruby is a very loving girl.  She is quite obedient and loves to be with you.  She can be left for short periods on her own.

Ruby needs someone who can give 100% commitment to her and her onward training.  With patience and understanding she will learn that other dogs aren't anything to be scared of. 

A satisfactory home-check will need to be done before she can be adopted.

LENNOX    Rehomed

8  years old / male /unneutered / red Boxer cross.

Lennox was all set to join his new family but unfortunately  the affects of Covid 19 has thrown a spanner in the works and so we are now actively seeking a new home for him.

Issues:  None really.  He  settled into his foster home where they have found him to be a joy.    They say 'Having fostered this wonderful boy for the past three weeks, we can without question say that if it wasn't for our circumstance, he would be going nowhere. He is the calmest, chilled out chap you could ever wish for. He has met other dogs with no reaction  apart from a cursory sniff. He does not pull on the lead, although due to his past life, is not a huge fan of walking and is always happier on the way back home where the sofa is calling for another snooze. Anybody who is lucky enough to have this marvellous, kind souled boy share the rest of his life with them, will feel blessed . He is one in a million.

Veterinary issues: Lennox does have a lump on his back although this has not changed shape or grown for well over a year and is benign,  once he is settled in his new home,  we shall be seeking vet advice for removal of the lump , the cost of which the charity will meet.  

Lennox is also eligible to be covered by our Oldies policy which will be fully explained at the time of rehoming.

A satisfactory home-check would need to be done before he can be adopted.   We do have a super short  video which we will share with anyone interested in offering this boy a home and the fosterer will be happy to talk to you and answer any questions you may have.​

HANK  

Hank has found his forever home and is busy settling in.


Hank is coming into rescue following a change of family circumstances.  He is a much loved boy and has been great with the young children he has lived with. 

Hank is 6 years old, neutered , vaccinated and micro-chipped.  He is a really good boy in the home.  Outside he starts by pulling on the lead but settles.  He can be difficult when first meeting new dogs and sound aggressive but once the initial meet has happened and the dogs have come together  he will mix quite happily. 

​

​MISSY

​Missy's foster Mum has decided that she can't imagine letting Missy go to another home.  It's only taken 18 months (I know - time flies!) but she is a very happy dog where she is, and we are all very happy for her 😊

​

ISSY

Issy has now found her forever home!  A beautiful red & white girl approx. 4 years old when she came into HCBW looking for a new home.

She is a lively active girl and is full of beans. She is lovely in the home and has lived with cats. She loves people and is very friendly. She can be dominant with some other dogs and likes to stand over them. Issy will initially pull on the lead but has improved with training . She is a foody which is a great training aid.

​Issy is chipped and vaccinated. She will need to be spayed once settled into her new home. Issy has not lived with children and as she is bouncy we are looking for a home with older children only.

BELLA

Bella has now found her forever home.  Bella came into us at HCBW aged 8 years old and looking for a new home due to her owner's ill health.

She is a small girl weighing just over 20 kg and has a lovely sweet nature with adults and children alike. She is house-trained and good in the home. Bella has lived in an urban environment and is used to lead walking only. She has lived with cats but is not good with other dogs either in the house or outside. 

​BUGSY

This is the lovely Bugsy who is 6 years old and is now happily settled in his new home.

His family's circumstances have changed and sadly they can no longer keep him with them.  His owner describes him as full of life and a very funny boy.

He has been with us for a few weeks and has gained some weight which he needed to do.  He has lived with children and another dog, but not cats.

Outside he is good, but can be very awkward with other male dogs, particularly entire ones.

​He is neutered and uptodate with his vaccinations.

LOTTIE

This is the lovely, lively Lottie who is now very settled in her new forever home.   

She has, through no fault of her own, had a really challenging start to her short life and really deserves a caring, patient, calm home.  Lottie is fifteen months old and suffers from separation anxiety and therefore needs somebody to be around most of the time who can help her through it. If left, she will be into everything, will counter-surf  and her house training with fail.

​She gets on well with other dogs and lived with one at her previous home.  

BUSTER

Buster came into HCBW as a lovely 2 year old brindle boy looking for a new home through no fault of his own but with some known health problems.  He is now very happy in his new adopted forever home!

Generally he is good with other dogs and currently resides with a 3 year old female boxer who he gets on well with. When out together he can pull on the lead but on his own is fine.

He is also very good with young children and plays well with the owners girls aged 5 and 1.

He is a handsome, playful boy who enjoys company and does suffer with separation anxiety so would be most suitable for someone who is home most of the time.

ROCKET

The gorgeous Rocket is now happily in his new forever home!

​GRACE

The beautiful Grace came into HCBW for rehoming as she was not getting on with the new dog.  We later found out that she had a serious health condition but by then, she was already very much loved and in her new adopted forever home.  She is the most beautiful, gentle girl.
​

 CHESTER, happily in his new home

​Chester is a white boy, 9 years young and was a much loved family member. Very sadly serious illness in the family meant he needed a new home.

Happily he has found his forever home.

 ​MARIO very settled in his new home

​Mario is a lovely boy who was looking for a very special home.  He is 2 years old and has not had the best start in life.  Brought over from Italy at 5 months old as a stud dog, he suffers with separation anxiety and appears to have missed out on basic puppy training and development.  He has recently undergone an operation to correct cherry eye in both eyes and has experienced a number of seizures, so he’s on medication for epilepsy which is now under control.

He is now settled happily with his best friend, Daisy, another Boxer, who has helped him to relax and enjoy life.
​

MAISIE doing very well in her new home 

Maisie is a beautiful 4 year old girl who did not take long to find her forever home :)

DYLAN happily rehomed

This lovely boy is Dylan.  Dylan came into HCBW in March 2019 at just 10 months old.  He is a gorgeous Red and White natural bobtail Boxer puppy who has now found himself a lovely new home to fulfil his particular needs and help him reach his full potential. 

He is so lovely but also manic, scatty and very enthusiastic in everything he does.  We were looking for a very specific type of home with people who are very Boxer savvy, where someone is around all day to work on his training needs.  ​

We are very pleased to say that this beautiful boy has now found his forever home and we wish him and his new family lots of success with his future training!

​

                                                     DEXTER happily rehomed

Dexter came into HCBW in March 2019 at just 15 months old and he is a real beauty but he is not the dog for the faint hearted or inexperienced.

We are pleased that we have found a permanent home for him with a boxer savvy family where there are no children and no other dogs, cats or other small furries. 

He came from a very busy home where he was in a permanently excited state and was not enjoying the level of socialisation he needs.  Although not aggressive, he was most frequently distracted and did not focus. He can take a while to calm down. 

He will pull on the lead and can lunge at other dogs.  Walking him is a challenge but he does respond to treats en route to encourage better behaviour.

We wish his new adoptive family all the best in working with him to achieve some calm and balance with one-to-one attention and training and we are sure his wonderful character will shine through and he will be a lovely boy!

                                                                              Benson

A lovely boy who went into foster to receive some TLC and to help him gain some weight.  It worked so well that he and his foster family decided he should stay so he happily spending his days in Kent. 

TED

Ted is a three year old neutered brindle and white boy and was looking for a new home. Ted had been living with a female who was a nervous dog and when out walking he seemed to feel the need to protect her and could be difficult with other dogs. He is a small chap, very happy, friendly and playful. As he can be boisterous we were looking for a home for Ted without children under 12 years of age and although he has lived with another dog we felt he would do best as an only dog in the household. 

We are delighted that Ted has found his forever home and we wish him and his new family many fun-filled years together

TROY 

Troy came into HCBW at 5 years old, he was looking for an experienced Boxer home, with someone who has time to work with him on his manners! He has lived with another Boxer previously. He's a big lad, who has a strong will, and a determination to get what he wants. He gets on well with other dogs and walks well on the lead. Troy spent some time in one of HCBW's wonderful foster homes and his new adoptive family slowly got to know Troy over a period of weeks, spending time visiting him and gaining his trust.

We are so pleased Troy headed off to his new home recently and wishing him and his new family all the best for the future.

MILLIE

Millie came to HCBW around middle of May and instantly found her forever home.  Millie was just 9 months old when she came to us and had lived with her Boxer friend who she adored but unfortunately due to a relationship breakdown she had to find a home where someone would be around to help her continue with her training.

Millie landed on her paws, as she has someone at home all day and the company of a gorgeous female Boxer, Doris who she met and went home with on 3 June 2018.  Doris has accepted the new bouncy addition to the family and has even started to chase the ball around the garden again!  

Millie has settled very quickly and has made friends everywhere she has been on her adventures so far.

We wish Millie, Dorris and her new human family members many years of happy times ahead!

BUSTER

Buster came to HCBW in May 2018 and had a home instantly, whilst the Royal Wedding was going ahead on 19 May Buster was on his way to his new forever home.  

Buster is a wonderful boy, nearly 4 years old he is well trained and friendly with everyone and everything!  Unfortunately for Buster and his previous owner they just couldn't be around for the time that he needed.  

He originally grew up with a Husky dog in Australia so is a well travelled boy!  His new family live by the coast and he enjoys a morning stroll along the beach chasing the waves!

Buster has made new friends wherever he has gone and is loving having people around all day!

Good luck in your new home Buster, we know everyone has already fallen in love with you!

DENZEL

Denzel came into HCBW at just 5 months old on 11 May 2018 as he just wasn't coping when left for even very short periods of time.  It didn't take him long to find his forever home, he was already off and meeting them on 13 May 2018.

Denzel has found the perfect home where he gets attention 24/7 and where he can learn to become a calm, relaxed dog at his own pace.

Denzel has already made his mark with his new family and gave them quite a fright when he needed an emergency operation at the end of May due to a retained testicle but he recovered very quickly and is back running around and keeping them entertained.

We wish Denzel and his new family all the very best for many years to come!

HENRY

Henry the gorgeous 2.5 year old bob-tail boy came into HCBW in April 2018 and went off to his new forever home on 13 May 2018. 

Henry was looking for a special home where someone was around for most of the day and where he could get continued support and training.

He now lives with a lovely couple who love him to bits.  He enjoys snoozing in the office whilst his Dad works away and taking breaks in the garden before heading off for long walks in the beautiful South West.

One of his favourite places is the couple's bed where he has decided to keep all his toys!  

We wish Henry and his new family all the very best!

BUSTER

Buster, (previously known as Kanya) but affectionately known as Buz, was given over to HCBW just 1 week before Christmas in 2017.  He was 2 years old.  He came straight into foster care and proved to be quite a handful for his fosterers.  However, given time, firm discipline, lots of training and exercise, he has become a truly wonderful companion and was adopted by the foster family just a couple of months later.

His training continues and he has settled very well.  He is super friendly and a very sociable Boxer.  He is completely adored by his new family who are quite fond of his cuddly nature.

Good luck in your new home Buz!

CRUMPET

​Crumpet (was Martha) came into HCBW in September 2017 at just 7 months old as she was being bullied at home by the other 2 resident Boxers and was not allowed to play with toys and was just too much of a handful.

Crumpet was re-homed with a 4.5 year old brindle Boxer girl called Marmite, who is practically her twin.  They got on from the moment they saw each other and share all their toys, play together continuously and eat and sleep together with no issues whatsoever.

Crumpet's training is still on-going as she is quite attention seeking and can be destructive when ignored!

Crumpet will be starting Agility with Marmite soon...
