BEAUTIFUL GILBERT - GORGEOUS BRINDLE SMALL STAFFORD STILL NEEDS A HOME- VERY URGENT APPEAL
Gilbert is one gorgeous thirteen year old Staffy from a Yorkshire stray kennels. He is beautiful and very affectionate and sweet natured and a Brindle boy who was left in an empty flat. Gilbert has an amazing nature and is small and just loves people and attention. He has a very wobbly gait due to old age and will need a garden to potter in and someone that can offer him some serious senior comforts. He loves attention and company and kennels are no place for old dogs. He is typical of his Stafford breed and just must be with people. Gilbert has already been seen by the vets and is on mild pain relief. Sadly the vets feel that Gilbert has had an untreated spinal injury at some point. Shame on his owner. This old man has also started his vaccines and been treated for fleas and worms. Due to coming into our care as a stray we have little history on his past life however we know it has not been great. Some information is available and we know he has not been cared for in his later stages of life. He settled into kennels initially however is now struggling terribly and really needs a warm and calm home. We do not want this senior boy left lonely and in kennels any longer and are so sad and worried for him. He loves company from humans and we feel he would make a brilliant companion for someone that adores Staffies. This lovely Staffy needs a retirement pad and someone to love. Staffies are wonderful dogs and their connection to people is wonderful. Gilbert is easily managed however he is not a huge fan of other dogs. At thirteen years old he needs a garden to potter in which would make him very happy. He will ignore most dogs however cannot be put under pressure and needs a home that understands he is a very old dog. Once you have loved and lost a Stafford you will most certainly will be drawn to this breed. If you feel you can offer Gilbert a new start then please read on to see what sort of home he needs. Veterinary bills are supported.

WHAT HOME DOES GILBERT NEED

Gilbert needs a loving home with regular intervals into the garden to potter and lots of company. He made need extra help at times. He is extremely affectionate and friendly and needs a retirement home with love on tap. Poor Gilbert is yet another unwanted Yorkshire stray in senior years now looking for love and a new start. Abandonment is so sad and traumatic for so many poor souls and we are huge huge supporters of stray dogs in Yorkshire. A regular routine in a home with mountains of company and love will be a great start for Gilbert. Gilbert could live with a family with older children however does need a pet free home and a calm, less busy home. After further assessments we are aware that Gilbert is not very stable at times on his back legs. If you feel you can offer him a loving home then we would love to hear from you. We feel Gilbert would love a garden, sun trap and definitely a space on the sofa and your bed. This old boy is a peach and deserves a luxury retirement with a garden and a dedicated human. Company, love and time will go a long way for this gorgeous boy in his twilight days. We have many bull breeds in kennels looking for love and we are desperately searching to find senior dogs a loving home. Please click on the ADOPT ME button at the bottom of this page to complete an application form.

We work hard to match our adopters and dogs together ensuring that humans and hounds are very happy.  We encourage adoption and invite anyone with misconceptions of rescue dogs to come and meet some very special dogs with huge characters and love to give. We are very active and hands on in the work we do and are very dedicated to the welfare of the dogs in our care and the Yorkshire strays.

Rescue dogs have often suffered difficult lives and some form of trauma or abandonment. We ask people to consider the huge commitment and lifestyle change of owning and adopting a dog. Rescue dogs often need time to settle back into a home. This can take at least four to five weeks for dogs to feel settled and more secure. If you are dedicated and understand that all rescue dogs need time to adjust then we would love to hear from you.
