LOCATION: Foster Home in Devon
Constantina and Katy say they'll never forget the way that Steve looked when they rescued him from the pound. It wasn't just that he was so terribly emaciated, it was that he looked so defeated and broken 💔
A couple of weeks at the sanctuary later and this beautiful English Pointer had put on weight, started to wag his tail and was standing that little bit taller.
He continued to improve and gain confidence, but we could see that his spirit wouldn't fully recover until he was in a home. Once again we sought the help of a foster home that has offered salvation to so many of our rescues over the years.
Almost as soon as he arrived in his foster home we were amazed. Steve relaxed! He slept, he explored the garden, he wagged his tail, he slept some more... It was beautiful to see!
Steve has been allowed to take everything at his own pace and this was absolutely crucial. He is very happy in a home and loves the company of the other dogs and humans in his foster home.
When Steve first arrived, he was worried about going on walks but now he loves going out on walks and enjoys visits to the enclosed field with his friends. On lead, Steve can be excited and can pull when he sees another dog (he LOVES other dogs) or finds a good smell to sniff.
Steve is very good at mealtimes, super gentle at taking treats and house trained. He enjoys sleeping on his beanbag at bedtime at nighttime and if he could, he would join you in your bed for a cuddle.
He is not the biggest fan of small children or very busy places. We think he will be best suited to a home with older children and with other dogs who can help him continue to grow in confidence. He currently lives with a cat so could join a home with a resident cat or two.
Most of all, Steve needs a home who will love him as much as he loves his monkey - his beloved toy who has seen better days 😆
If you would like more information about him, his foster family will be more than happy to talk to you and arrange a meeting.
