**********

ORIGINAL APPEAL:

Meet Rocky! He’s a very affectionate and sensitive 6 year old boy.

He has been neutered and has no health issues apart from having a sensitive stomach.
What he does need help with in his Forever-Home, will be behavioural issues, sadly due to not being socialised very well in his past life.

This has made Rocky a very reactive boy, triggered by many things.
It also makes him food aggressive so may nip if startled, therefore he needs to be in an adult-only home, well-supervised if there is another non-reactive canine companion.

He is currently living with another dog in foster though Rocky is very dominant so there is the likelihood it could cause issues with a similar type of dog or a cat.

Rocky having some relaxation time!

Being an only-dog may be the simplest solution but not necessarily the only one if you believe you could invest the extra attention he would need to adjust and feel more secure over time.

Rocky is also petrified of the vet. It’s fear aggression, which our fosterer has been working on, but now he really needs to settle into a dog-experienced, calm & quiet forever home, ideally in the country where he doesn’t have to worry about busy traffic or passing lots of people on walks as he barks a lot in this environment.

Could you, or someone you know, offer Rocky his special Forever home?
If so, please apply referencing Rocky 24226.

Could YOU Adopt Sister & Brother, Cindy & Sid

👏 ** TERRIFIC NEWS UPDATE: Cindy & Sid have found their HOME TOGETHER! ** 👏

**********

ORIGINAL APPEAL:

Cindy and Sid are a bonded 6 year-old sister and brother. They are both neutered and looking for their forever home together.

They both love children and are sociable around other dogs, more so Sid. He can be quite needy and looks to his sister, liking being near to her. Cindy is the more dominant of the two, and would be better suited in a home with no other female dogs.

Both are well behaved on walks when meeting other dogs and people.

Cindy has had corrective surgery to address breathing problems she’s had in the past and now experiences no discomfort.

Sid has a condition called Dry Eye which will require regular application of eye drops, (funded by PDWRA as it’s a pre-existing condition), other than that they are both healthy and happy pugs who enjoy a life of walks, cuddles and a nice cosy bed to snuggle in.

Despite being bonded, this doesn’t stop them from individually seeking human attention (competing!?), so you can expect to be snuggled from both sides!

If you are able to offer them their forever home together, please apply, referencing Sid 24157 & Cindy 24158 on your adoption application form.

Please do so at: https://pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk/adopting-a-pug/
