Please read this fully and understand adopting an animal is a life long thought through commitment. We appreciate that as do our animals❤️ Zeddy arrived to us a week ago as a surrender. We don't often take surrenders as, all too often, we are taking abandoned and dumped dogs off the streets, fields and bogs or we are working with the various pounds across the country to take their abandoned dogs. Kennel space with us, and every rescue, is often rare and we never enough for all those in need. So surrenders (who have owners) cannot take preference. But they need us too and many surrenders are for very genuine, sometimes upsetting, reasons and are a heartbreaking decision for the humans involved. Those humans do everything they can to ensure their dogs handover to us is done smoothly and with the dogs best interests at heart. They arrive with written pages of their dogs personality, likes and dislikes. They arrive with a veterinary history, food, beds, toys and, sometimes, voluntarily bring a donation to our charity or have no problem when asked for one to cover said dogs stay with us till rehomed or should said dog need vet work (many do). But most importantly they treat us, the people willing to help their dog and them, with respect and a level of gratitude that we believe we deserve. And we so appreciate that we return those feelings to those people who are all too often making one of the hardest decisions of their lives due to a change in circumstances. Zeddy arrived to us as a surrender as a 4.5 month old Puggle. He arrived with a harness and "some" of the agreed surrender fee. He arrived with no microchip and the promise of a "forgotten" vaccination card that despite since asking for, has yet to be acknowledged. So we restarted his vaccinations ourselves. He arrived with no toys or bed and his surrender form said "not enough space" and going back to work. Did their garden shrink since they got him?? These are the surrenders that get under our skin and make us feel that we are nothing but a drop off centre and we are seen as the fools and "a solution" to their problem. We feel emotionally played. And maybe we are, to an extent, responsible for allowing this but in our defense all we see is an unwanted pup who deserves better. So, after getting all that off our chest, let's introduce you to the very sweet Zeddy. Zeddy is a typical puppy. Full of fun, bursting with energy and puppy naughtiness which is to be expected with most pups. He has mostly lived outdoors so pulling up plants and using the garden as his playground became his way of amusing himself and a way to alleviate the boredom. He walks well on his harness, is getting used to travelling in the car and has successfully completed a few trips to our local marina and coffee shop which he loved. Zeddy needs:- *A home where there is someone home all day due to his young age and ability to get bored easily *A home willing to start from scratch with training and give him a routine *A home that can give Zeddy outdoor activities such as long walks and adventures (longer as he develops from puppyhood to adulthood) *A home that will treat Zeddy as part of the family, both inside the home and outside the home and feel honoured to have been given the opportunity to adopt him. Because being chosen to adopt a rescue dog should feel like an honour. Zeddy has met other dogs but, at them moment, is way more interested in human company. He loves his cuddles though tends to jump up to gain your attention and so may be too much for very young children but could live with older children pending a meet and greet. We are not ruling out Zeddy living with another dog but it will need to a dog willing to match his energy level. Zeddy is a clever little boy who is already showing an ability to listen and learn. He is a fab little chap who just needs some routine, training and a whole lot of love. He is guaranteed to brighten up your day and home though he may rearrange it too. As always, a fully secure garden and the promise to love and cherish Zeddy always is required. He will be neutered at the appropriate age as per our adoption contract.
