Manson – 3 year old male Bassett Hound cross Beagle
Manson is a 3 year old Bassett Hound cross Beagle who is looking for a new home. Manson came into us via the RSPCA. He had been living in a home since he was born along with three other dogs. Manson was not really exercised properly in his previous home and now when he goes out he is a bit nervous of new situations. This will be worked on whilst he is in rescue. His recall is excellent whilst out on walks.
Unfortunately Manson does have a heart problem and has to have one pill a day for this (Vetmedin) and this would cost about £15 for two months supply.
He did go into a foster home but due to him barking at the resident cats and toileting in the house he was bought into rescue as an emergency placement. Here he has been fine with the cats, but the cats here do not run from dogs and he saw them as no fun and ignored them. He also has no reaction to small animals in cages.
Originally it was planned that he would be moved into the local centre, but they were going to put him to sleep because of his heart problem and being too hard to rehome, so I refused to hand him over to them. On the whole Manson is good with other dogs, but he needs to be introduced slowly, as he is worried about new situations as is common with dogs that are under socialised. He is a very sweet and loving boy once he has started to settle.
We need to work on his house training. He has probably never been taught anything, so we are treating him like an 8 week old puppy in that respect. Manson has lived with young children and is fine with them.
He can be left for short periods of time, but has the typical Bassett bay when barking so time would need to be spent building his confidence at being left. Manson has been neutered and will be vaccinated and microchipped, plus wormed and defleaed before he leaves us. There will be a homecheck and minimum donation fee applies.
