Dewi – 5 year old male Harrier Hound

Friends Of The Animals RCT South Wales — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:09:06 +0000

Dewi is a stunning 5 year old Harrier Hound who came into our care after being dumped from a van on the mountains and doing his seven days in the pound. He has been with his fosterer for a little while now, waiting for the right home for him to come along.

Dewi measures 18 inches to the shoulder. A few people have thought he was a Foxhound but is quite a bit smaller in comparison – and we all know that the most wonderful things come in small packages. He can still be slightly nervous about certain things and will need some TLC, but we think he will make a great family member for that special family.

Dewi is a wonderful lad, he loves his home comforts, especially the fire and his bed. But he does also like to be out and about walking with his family. He walks well on lead and gets on well with all dogs he meets. He is currently living in a family home with two younger children, a male Beagle and a cat. We feel he would be happy to live with children over 5, other dogs and cats.

Dewi’s new family must understand that Dewi is a hound, his nose plays a big part in his life, sniffing lots of great things! Dewi’s nose sometimes will take over, especially in wooded and country areas. In these areas he is not able to come off lead and must stay on a long line or his nose would take him off sniffing. He has been allowed to go on the beach off lead, due to the very limited amount of smells that he could go off and track and he has done well. He would also be ok to come off lead in other certain areas that are secure. We are asking homes to consider this and understand you will have to make allowances for him and think about where you will be walking him as well as the fact that he will possibly have to stay on lead. He will, given the chance, jump a fence or a wall. Due to this any home offer must have a secure garden with six foot fencing.

We would like to find Dewi a home experienced with dog ownership, ideally with someone who has had experience with hounds or gun dog type breeds, but we will consider all home offers for this very special little man.

If you think you can offer Dewi the loving, understanding and active home that he needs, please get in touch.

He has been neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped. Dewi is currently on foster in South Wales but we home across the UK.

Tramp is a 15 month old male Hound. He has come into our care after his family were no longer able to care for him, Tramp is finding being in kennels very confusing and he would enjoy a loving home to call his own again soon. He is a little timid but enjoys a fuss and is soon wagging his tail, he does pull on a lead but this can be corrected. Tramp is a handsome boy measuring approx 22″ to the shoulder, he is good with other dogs, cats and children and now just needs to find his lady to be complete again.

Honey – 3-4 year old female Pointer Cross Harrier Hound

South East Dog Rescue — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 12:56:44 +0000

Honey is a 3 to 4 year old Harrier Hound/Pointer Cross who came into rescue after her previous owners divorce. Honey is a calm and gentle girl who loves people. She is a typical hound with zero recall as she is too interested in scents, so an experienced hound home would be ideal.

Honey is submissive with other dogs and would be fine to live alone or with other dogs, though not cats. Children aged 14 years and over as she has not lived with young children before. Honey has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and de flead. She could use some lead training as she does pull!

Honey is a real sweetheart who would love a home to call her own. Could you offer honey a place in your heart and your home?
