This is a very urgent appeal for a strictly dog-free, cat-free, child-free foster home, available immediately, for Winnie the Cavalier x Poodle (Cavapoo). You need to be within a 3-hour drive of Sittingbourne, Kent.
Pretty Winnie is 9 years old and came into rescue due to her owner being unable to give her the care she needed. As you can see, Winnie is as cute as can be, but she has bitten her foster carer’s dog and we need to move her urgently.
Winnie is generally a loving sweetheart, but she can be unpredictable. She cannot be around children at all and she cannot live with another dog. Due to a medical condition, it has been advised that Winnie is not taken for walks on a lead, so she needs a foster home with a large, flat, easily accessible garden direct from the home.
Although Winnie needs a home without dogs and cats, she is very good around her current foster carer’s chickens, sheep and other livestock. A quiet, rural home with a big garden would be perfect for her.
We will arrange transport to Winnie’s new foster home. It needs to be within 3 hours’ drive of Sittingbourne. Please only offer if your home is a good match for Winnie’s needs and if you will be able to get forms filled in quickly and have a homecheck straight away.
If you have any holiday coming up this year, this won’t work for fostering Winnie.
Winnie arrived in foster very overweight and you must be committed to helping her lose weight, and only feeding her dog food. She must not be given human food as this encourages her to resource-guard and snatch without warning.
She has been x-rayed and found to have hip dysplasia and she also has a lot of back pain. She has been prescribed painkillers and anti-inflammatories, with very gentle exercise. She must be kept trim to help her hips and spine. Her heart is very good. Winnie uses a raised feeding station to protect her back and she has a special orthopaedic harness.
Although we are initially seeking a foster home, we would be very happy to hear from anyone wanting to foster Winnie with a view to adopting her.
Could you offer Winnie a child-free, dog-free, cat-free foster home?
