Poor Tia had an isolated puppyhood and it’s amazing just how much she loves all people. She’s great with children but she’s boisterous so can only live with older ones, who don’t topple so easily! She needs to be taught to socialise with other dogs gradually. And she needs love!

We also have some non-oldie dogs who need very special homes due to mental or physical problems, listed in Other Special Dogs Needing Homes. Please consider them!

It is going to take a very special someone to unlock the special beautiful boy he is.

Zoli (via Hungarian Vizsla Welfare, Stirlingshire)
