Henry's Story: Henry was rescued from another Rescue by a pound pulling charity who worked with him and built his confidence. We then offered a Rescue place. Was fearful on arrival but has had support and emerged with skills and grounded confidence. Henry is neutered, chipped, and fully vaccinated. Henry is in boarding kennels near Gatwick whilst awaiting his new family.
• Tragic life (6 years in kennels) as his young exuberant behaviours trapped him in web of Rescue. Has assimilated energy into matured skills
• Excited and nervous initially in home setting
• Learning to relate to dogs in ‘the field’ and dogmatic head collar helps brilliantly
• Low dog density and quiet life please
• Loving calm vibe: Older children or adult only
If you are interested in rehoming one of our dogs, please complete our ONLINE HOMING QUESTIONNAIRE. It is always the first step in our rehoming process. Upon application, you must be ready to take in your new dog within seven days. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process.
Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum adoption donation is £200. This supports our continuing rescue work and is non-refundable. We exist solely due to the goodwill and donations of our supporters and volunteers. Our dogs need supportive families who will offer them patience, time and tolerance whilst they settle in their new homes. Our Rescue offers all our dogs back-up for life.
Please note: Dog laws have changed, with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers. Our Rescue asks new owners to keep their dog on a lead in public spaces and manage and support its encounters with new dogs and people, so as not to place the dog's life at risk. Destruction and Control Orders are commonplace nowadays. Henry's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal a different picture and positive skills as they build trust.
Original Referral information: We were asked to help Henry who has been supported by Safe & Sound for many years and is now ready to find himself a family.
