Posted: Sun Jun 28, 2009 6:23 pm Post subject: Ky Staffie x 2 yrs old Gatwick (S) W Sussex Kennelled |
|
|
His Story: Ky has been through 5 homes and failed only due to his big heart with associated energy. Lived successfully with another dog and young children.
Salient points: Medium sized bull breed dog. Young, well trained, intelligent and excellent temperament. Proven with children. Needs secure garden amnd active lifestyle.
Advert: Ky has come into rescue having been passed from home to home. He needs a dog experienced family who are ready to receive him and able to centre their lives around his needs. He has proven time and time again to be an excellent family dog- with children of all ages, dogs inside and outside his home. His energy is bold Staffie energy that needs to say I love you I really really do! and to expressed within his exercise regime focused on meeting his needs. Neutered, vax'd and chipped.
Ky is the Jack of Hearts ... people love him and he loves them. His energy levels are high currently as he is in kennels and a bit concerned as to why?! Ky has the friendly Staffie nature and we know his full history through pet homes. His forever home will be one where his owners have gone out looking for him rather agreed to take him in as he had nowhere better to go! Ky is very loveable so this shouldn't be a problem. So lets play happy families with Ky being that essential ingredient to bring the real elements of family life and fun together; exchange the tellies for the wellies; the sofa for the park bench!
Please visit this Ky's individual thread, in Dogs needing homes in our care on this forum to find out more about them and follow their progress.
If you are interested in re-homing please complete our homing questionnaire so we can ensure our dogs are matched and will suit your circumstances/lifestyle.
"Please note that this dog is currently in kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found".
Below is his thread:
Ky Wonder

Ky is being vax'd tomorrow, neutered on Wednesday

Well it is interesting getting to know Ky
He is a beautiful boy but has not had much training. He is very strong on the lead and seems to know where he wants to go. I discovered this morning that he does not like cars at all For a big strong boy he turned into a quivering wreck when I opened the car and didn't really settle at all. When I tried to get him back in at the vets, he adopted a wonderful star pose and I had my work cut out to get him back in again. Some work to done here, then
He was very well behaved at the vets as he had a little check over, his ears looked into and his first vax. All without any fuss at all. Lovely boy  |

Certainly provided a good 20 mins entertainment for the men fixing the roof opposite - no offers of help though
Another thing I did take away from it, is that throughout, although he was determined not to get back in, there was not a single moment of agression. Not a growl or any use of his mouth at all - nothing. Just a big softie with bags of determination  |

Oh he is sweet, love the middle parting with the matching side fringes. Bless.
Would have paid good money to watch Karen get him into the car too!  _________________ SHARONR - ADMIN

Ky has spent the day at the vets getting snipped and is now safely back in his kennel.
I had a conversation with one of his previous owners today and managed to find out so much more about him. He was the last of a litter of pups kept shut up in a room and fed on Coco Pops and raw suasage so he had no input for the first 5 months of his life He then went on to live with a family and 5 children, aged 11yrs through to toddler. He was a much loved pet but unfortunately as he got older he became more dominant with the resident unneutered Lab and play times between them got more and more 'rough'. From here he moved through a couple of homes, many with children and one with a bitch that he got on with.
He was finally handed into a vets by a lady who couldn't cope with him any longer but although he has been through a number of homes, he has been loved.
He is reknown for being an escape artist and able to scale 6' fences easily but also known as a 'big softie'.
I hope that now he has been neutered the urge to 'get out' will start to fade and I would say he would bond very quickly with a loving family - definitely wears his heart on his sleave  |

Ky has hardly noticed he has been neutered and is completely disregarding the vets advice to try and keep quiet for a few days
We have been having some quite long but steady walks over the last 2 days in an effort to wear him out.
We have also been practicing ' the car' Yesterday we had a good sit in the boot and today inside. Not the best picture in the world but.....
and he got in all by himself today
Sadly he just does not like being in kennels and is so desperate to have company. Spice passing by with Sammy75 set his tail awagging this morning. |

Sharon props. and 'Uo ahhh'er and xxlynne photographer; introducer; Rachel applauder and kennel maiden

Hope you sleep tight tonight, Baby Boy and hope you will be happier, being able to be out and about in the paddock everyday. Sure you will turn into a star
