FIONA

Say hello to this loveable little Frenchie, Fi

If you are looking for that 'best friend' kind of dog, here she is.

She is loyal, overly affectionate, and would love to be the center of somebody's world. She laps up all the cuddles she can get and spends most of her time perched on a lap, upside down, snoring.

She walks well on a harness, and her recall is also good when off the lead.

She initially slept in a crate overnight with us but now she sleeps in her bed in the living room beautifully overnight without a peep. Although I'm sure she'd prefer to share someone's bed.

Fi is in foster with a three-year-old child who she absolutely adores. She is very tolerant and loves to be stroked, played with and is always cuddled up next to her little people. She would make a great family pet.

She has lived with dogs previously and tolerates their company, but her fosterer feels that she would prefer to be an only dog, as she just loves that one on one companionship with her humans. Fi doesn't bother too much with other dogs out on walks, but she really doesn't like dogs jumping up at her face, this makes her feel a bit nervous. Possibly due to having sore ears previously.

She has previously lived with cats, and we were told she might chase them, but she has not attempted this with the cat in her current foster home, so we feel she could live alongside cats safely, with the correct introduction.

Fi came to us with chronic ear issues, which are still ongoing but much improved. She is also on a special prescription food to help with her skin and possible allergies. She may need further ear and skin treatment on going, so her new owners should be aware that this may be costly. Her prescription food is also not cheap!

She is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated.

Please note that Fi does have the occasional accident in the house overnight. We feel this is behavioural and have ruled out any medical reasons. She doesn't like the rain and cold weather, so it may be partly to do with this or marking due to being in foster with another female dog.

Fi is a beautiful lump of pure joy and will bring so much happiness to your lives. She is funny, cuddly and so easy to care for, she just wants to be loved, all the time.

GILBERT

At just 10 months old we saw Gilbert being advertised on Pets 4 Homes, he was £75 and had a visibly broken leg. Of course we couldn’t ignore a dog so desperately in need of a lifeline.

Gilbert was severely malnourished, scared and in pain. He has cost over £2500 in vet’s bills which we raised just over £2000 towards-thanks to our incredible followers Gilbert had a life changing operation to save his leg.

The operation has so far been a success with his final X-rays being in 1 week! Keeping fingers crossed that everything is as it should be!

Gilbert has a home here at HART for however long it takes for his perfect person to come along-whether that be weeks, months or a lifetime. We truly adore this boy and he deserves the world.

Gilbert is seeking a forever home so please like, share and comment to help us reach that special someone!

Gilbert is now on week 4 of 6 weeks rest and we have decided to tentatively start searching for that very special someone.

Gilbert is around 11 months old and is a collie. He was extremely malnourished on arrival and is still gaining weight weekly.

Gilbert needs a home who understand he has been through so much despite his young age.

Gilbert is a very worried and scared lad, his trust takes time but once you have it he has so much love to give and is immeasurably affectionate.

Gilbert has experienced very little in terms of socialisation, he is very frightened outside of his comfort zone.

Gilbert is loyal and affectionate, following his person wherever they go. He is good off lead and enjoys his walks.

Gilbert will NOT make a working dog, he ignores livestock and shows absolutely no interest in them.

Gilbert is fine with other dogs however, does become scared at times.

Gilbert can guard his food from other dogs and does not like them approaching his crate.

Gilbert does not appear to have accidents in the house however, we would not describe him as house trained given he has been on crate rest for the majority of the time.

Gilbert is looking for a home to give him a chance and help him overcome everything he has been through-he is not going to be a straightforward, confident dog without a lot of time and patience.

We are seeking a home now as we feel Gilbert would really benefit from more 1 to 1 attention and time.

Gilbert would be best in a home without young children due to his nervousness.

Gilbert has a strong desire to chase cats and would not be able to live with them, his foster mum says that is his only bad habit

BLEDDYN

Working Home Needed

Bleddyn is a gorgeous 6-month-old huntaway with potentially a splash of collie or kelpie!

He is very much a typical huntaway-vocal, active, and cuddly!

Bleddyn needs a working home, he is happiest spending his days on the farm working alongside his person.

Bleddyn is not suited to being a pet; he was previously in a pet home, and this did not work for him.

Bleddyn has only been introduced to working while with us and is already showing great potential. He is a confident, bold lad capable of penning up, loading trailers, and assisting driving/gathering. Bleddyn speaks up well, however, does not bark constantly, and can be told to be quiet when working. Bleddyn follows other dogs well and works extremely well alongside our older huntaway. Bleddyn is a lovely blank canvas; he does not yet have sides, and his brakes are lacking but do exist! Bleddyn will run alongside the bike or buggy and does ride if asked, although he prefers to run. Bleddyn spends his days on the farm and is well behaved doing so; he is friendly with strangers and doesn’t go looking for mischief!

Bleddyn works well with other dogs and is a nice member of a working team. Bleddyn has settled well in a large pack of dogs and is friendly with all.

Bleddyn travels well.

Bleddyn sleeps through the night in the house without issue.

Bleddyn is house-trained.

We want Bleddyn to have a loving home that can provide the training and stimulation he needs. Please do not apply if you cannot offer this.

Huntaways are a very misunderstood breed and often end up in unsuitable homes. They are a large, vocal breed-they are bred to bark and run for miles.
