15 July 2011 ~ so pleased to find out that the gorgeous Prince has been adopted. Such a lovely boy, really delighted for him
This fabulous tail belongs to the most wonderful Prince, who I recently met and photographed at Bath Cats & Dogs Home. Prince is a two year old, neutered male Lurcher who is looking for an amazing forever home. Please carry on reading, to see the rest of this lovely dog.
Prince is a very handsome boy, as you can see, and a really sweet pet dog who I am sure will make someone a fantastic best friend. It was rather sunny on the day we met, but the paddock we were in had good shade, so in between playing with the space lobber (great fun for playful dogs who don’t mind squeaky toys), we sat in the shade and had a nice chat too.
The rescue says Prince is a cheeky and lively Saluki cross, who is doing really well in his socialisation and training classes at the Home. He is playful (see below) and funny and will need exercise, mental stimulation and play to keep him happy in a home.
Prince is a great boy who can live with children aged 5+ and with dogs, following successful introductions.
Cheeky grin
Prince does suffer from kennel stress, but one of the members of staff at the Home has taken him home on a number of occasions to give him a break from the kennel environment and tells me he is very good then and loves to lounge on the sofa and got on well with the resident dog
Prince is also crate trained, so please look past his kennel stress to the wonderful dog he will be in his forever home. Though anyone taking on any dog, puppy or otherwise, should of course give them time to adjust to their new surroundings.
Prince had fun with my space lobber!
According to the rescue, Prince is still young and learning how to behave, but is fantastic with dogs off lead and is used as a stooge dog at the rescue’s socialisation class, to help other dogs interact and play
He can be reactive to other dogs, while on lead, but is now clicker trained and has improved loads! A new owner must be willing to continue training, which the Home will advise on.
I think Prince’s lovely ears have a mind of their own. I did gently turn them back a few times, but they seemed quite happy to sit like this
Prince is a bit of a star in the Home. After being found abandoned as a puppy, he was later stolen from the rescue, but thankfully then returned. The experience did however understandably leave him a bit worried about getting in a car, because the last time he did was when he was stolen
However after three trips to nice places, he is much improved, although he is still wary of vans – and some men, poor boy
How could you not fall in love with this gorgeous boy?
Everyone at the rescue would love to see a very happy ending (and new beginning!) to Prince’s story. I must say he is an absolutely sweetie and really does deserve a very special home.
I had been hoping to meet him for a while and rather fell for him myself. I could have happily sat and played in the paddock with him all day! He really did steal my heart and whoever adopts him will gain a very lovely doggie best friend.
