http://www.manytearsrescue.org/display_mtar_dog.php?id=7108 27-06-13 Harvey is a 1 year old ex-stud Cocker. This very handsome chap is very scared at the moment and doesn't know how to walk on a lead. He is a very wary boy who is unsure how to react to us and as a result is withdrawn. He will certainly need a kind resident dog in his new home to help boost his confidence and introduce him to living in a home. He is a special boy who needs equally special people who will take things slowly with him and understand that he needs time and patience. This boy deserves to be loved and we would love to see him in a wonderful new home.
PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home dogs who have come from breeders where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company. They usually get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience. If the ex breeding dog you are interested in can be an only dog it will say so in its write up. Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
05-07-13 UPDATE
Harvey has suspected PDA (patent ductus arteriosus)which is when the vessel responsible for shunting blood past the lung does not function properly. This can be corrected by surgery and so Harvey is going to a foster home and where he will see a specialist to see if anything can be done.
ADOPTION DETAILS
The adoption fee for a dog is £170 for a dog at the centre and £180 for one in foster.
