UPDATE: NINO WILL BE COMING BACK TO THE REFUGE ON 15TH JUNE. HE REMAINS OUR URGENT APPEAL AND THIS WAY MOIRA AND I WILL GET TO KNOW HIM FAR BETTER THAN WE DID DURING HIS FIRST STAY. WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR THE PERFECTÂ HOME FOR NINO.
Both the previous two urgent appeals have left in double quick time, and we are hoping the same is true for this boy, who needs a new home desperately. And for the first time our home to home appeal is for a dog who is not at the refuge.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Nino. He is a fabulous setter who is five years old and is currently living with his owner. She adopted him from the ScPA but is unable to cope with a young dog and loves him too much to bring him back for rehoming. So DRC has promised to help.
Nino is a great boy. He is fine with other dogs, fabulous with children, and although he will chase cats on the move, he has never shown any aggression to them. He is affectionate, housetrained and lively. And therein lies the problem; his current owner is unable to walk him, and although he has access to a large garden, he needs walks and a lot more fun with other dogs than he has at present.
Nino is living close to Carcassonne but can travel to his new home. Obviously there are no adoption fees, and Nino is vaccinated, identified by microchip and castrated.
Who has a place in their home and heart for a beautiful setter?
