Happy Henry Seeks A New Home
Happy Henry Seeks A New Home
Louise Glazebrook of the Darling Dog Company has been fostering Happy Henry for Hackney Council. She says:
"He was found abandoned around the time of the riots and has now served his 7 days stray time. I have been fostering him for nearly 2 weeks and he has just been neutered. Which he is recovering well from.
I have seriously been considering keeping him but I feel that if a home comes along where he could be a sole dog then it would be what is best for Henry.
Henry is approx 10mnths old, his breed heritage is unknown, everyone has an opinion from St. Bernard x Great Dane x Boxer x Bullmastiff x Shar Pei. The list goes on...basically he is a modern day mongrel! Henry has a heart of solid gold, he is a big lad who still needs to do some growing. When you sit on the sofa with him, he throws his head into your lap and sleeps. He truly is a gem of a dog and he melts my heart everytime I look him. He is fantastic with people, great with other dogs, chases cats (our cat Eartha has taken refuge next door!) and just wants to snuggle up with you.
Henry does need some work though, his previous owners have obviously let him play, run around with and go up to any dog that he sees. So obviously now I am trying to put a stop to this. He has no recall when other dogs are around so there is a lot of work to do there. He is food and toy motivated and he adores plastic bottles to play with. He is also a fantastic swimmer, its so lovely to watch.
In all honesty, it breaks my heart writing this for Henry but I have to look at what is best for him. And whilst I can give him everything he needs, I think there are people out there with more time, a bigger house & garden and can put all the work that he needs into place. He also loves to run and you can imagine when he does, he picks up quite a speed so someone who wants to cycle with a dog or jog with it, he would be ideal too. Whoever takes him on, I will put together a programme of what training and behaviour modifications they should be doing with him.
So, if you are looking for a dog or know someone who is then please forward this email to them and ask them to contact me. Henry is due to have his stitches out next week so would be ready to go to a new home sometime after that.

These lurchers are at present in the care former dog warden, Jo Quinlan who now runs Five Acre Kennel, Wood Street. Jo is not a rescue centre but does take in the occasional rescue dogs to help out. Rosie and Jim came to her because they both had mange and needed to be kept away from other dogs while they were being treated. They are unwanted strays that came from the borough Council. Now they have both fully recovered and are ready to start a new life.
Jo says of them:
“Both very gentle and friendly and love to charge around together. They are clean in their kennel over night. Both are fairly good on lead considering they have not walked on the lead much, Jim pulls a bit more than Rosie but mostly because they are excited to have a change of scenery! They get on well with other dogs although they initially sometimes bark a lot at other dogs, particularly when on the lead, Jim more so -I think Rosie just joins in. I believe its more frustration than anything else. I think they would settle immediately if homed together, but may take time if separated however I wouldn't rule it
out.
If anyone feels they could give Rosie and/or Jim a home, please contact 07921 461649
