VERY URGENT APPEAL FOR GWEN - NOW LOOKING FOR LOVE
Gwen is a sweet natured and stunning Saluki Whippet. She has endured a turbulent life so far and came to us from a local stray kennels. Gwen is very sweet but very broken and timid. Her tail remains between her legs and she is very worried and extremely sad to say the least. On arrival Gwen was desperately underweight and covered in faeces. Not only does she own a broken spirit she owns the heaviest heart. Gwen has recently been returned to us and has loved a few weeks in emergency foster with a kind lady and her family. Due to illness and bereavement Gwen has sadly had to come back to kennels. (3rd September). Gwen did extremely well in her foster home and started to play and enjoy zoomies. We know she has the ability to enjoy life and within time will relax and realise that not all humans mean you harm. We feel Gwen needs to find a loving and kind home with patient people that will allow her time to adjust. She has shown no issues with people or other dogs however she is very timid. She enjoys her walks and an adventure and is a real joy to walk. We do not want o add stress and pressures to Gwen and ensure she finds a perfect love match. If you feel Gwen is for you then please read below.

WHAT HOME DOES GWEN NEED?
Gwen needs a calm and quiet home where she will be loved and given the time to desensitise and grow. This is crucial for dogs like her who have been neglected and mistreated. Her past has been one best forgotten.This sweet girl is very loving despite her mistreatment and we know she will blossom in the right home. We would rehome Gwen within a family with older children only. We are unsure whether Gwen needs the pressure of another dog however she is very happy around lurchers and fellow sighthounds. If we were to place her with another dog then it would need to be a very gentle, kind and loving dog without issues. An over confident dog that is extremely busy would definitely be too much for Gwen at this stage in her life and would only hinder her progress. She needs another gentle soul as a friend. Gwen needs company and time from humans and home comforts galore. If you feel you have a loving home waiting then we would love to hear from you. Calls are welcome and applications. Please note we are a small charity. We do not have staff manning every aspect of our rescue. Please be patient when applying for dogs. We have many dogs to care for and teh day to day welfare remains our priority every day. Thank you.

Rescue dogs have often suffered difficult lives and some form of trauma due to abandonment. We ask people to consider the huge commitment and lifestyle change of owning and adopting a dog. Rescue dogs need time to settle back into a home. This can be an immediate thing or take at five weeks plus. If you are dedicated and understand that all rescue dogs need time to adjust then we would love to hear from you. Please consider the huge commitment of dog ownership. Thank you.

Our charity is small and we do not have staff manning every aspect of our rescue. We work hard to support the dogs left behind at stray kennels.  Foster homes are also needed. Support, patience and kind words are always appreciated.
