General Information you can share about the Dog.

 

I found this dog as a stray around a couple of weeks ago. She is fantastic with my three year old son. She is very clean in the house and is good when left. She is friendly with everyone but is quiet in the house. She will happily go for a long walk, chase a ball around or chill out on the sofa. I am not sure if she would be suitable with cats or small animals as she is quite keen on chasing squirrels when outside. I cannot say what she would be like with a cat indoors though.

 

I have had her checked by a vet, who thinks she has been spayed as he could see a small scar, but could not be sure. I she has been checked over, de-flead adn vaccinated. I am unable to keep her for personal reasons, but she will make a fantastic pet for a family, couple or single person. she is great with my 3 year old son, very calm and gently around him.

hi just a quick question did you inform the dog warden that you had this dog and recieve a found dog pack. if not they may have reports about this dog missing from the owners. cheers

I am leaving this open for the op's response, BabyBoo you cannot legally re-home this dog in this way, you need to report it to the dog warden to give her owner chance to claim her.

Sorry, should have made this clear. I have informed the dog warden, spoken to local vet and local dog wardens and police. No-one has come forward to claim her. When I found her she was extremely skinny but is now looking much healthier. I have also spoken to local dog walkers etc and no-one has seen her before and no-one has come forward to claim her. I am reluctant to take her down to the dog pound but am unable to keep her myself.

It would be a shame to take her to the pound whippets can be very sensitive little dogs and she probably would be really upset.

It's very good of you to take her in and take care of her as you have done, I hope that she finds a lovely home...if only I had a spare place by the fire
