His Story: Minx was living with 5 Staffies. He and his mother were surrendered into a Welsh pound due to owners illness. He had been neutered and cared for.

Salient points: Was always proven with dogs, but in the process of coming out from a large pack Minx has made it clear he wants to be an only pet now. Fabulous with children and people.

Advert: Minx is a very good looking, kind and very loving dog. He grew up in with a pack of dogs then he and his mother came into rescue. Given individual love changed the dynamics of his relationship with his mother and they had a fight which has resulted in them being homed separately. Minx will do well in a home where he learns to experience the love he has begun to value, but also is given confidence within this new setting. He needs time to find himself so he can again enjoy and be receptive to dog companionship. Minx is neutered, vax and chipped. He is housetrained and not destructive when left.

Minx has a new path to follow now having come out from a large pack and learning to be an only dog. It is like going through a late adolescence to discover himself all over again and his new owners will need to lead him through this. He is very special, he is eager to please so his owner(s) will find this a pleasure as he settles within a new family and learns to relax with his needs being met.

Please visit Minx's individual thread, in Dogs needing homes in our care on this forum to find out more about him and follow his 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".

Mark and I tried quite hard to get some good photos of this pair without realising Lynne had already loaded up some great ones! Our attempts are below.

Both Minx and Nancy are great on the lead, no pulling, and walk shoulder to shoulder when they can, it's adorable to watch. When Minx ventured out in front for a while he'd repeatedly take an anxious look behind him to make sure Nancy was still there. Nancy did use Minx as a step ladder when we stopped at the cafe and she wanted some fuss...! But Minx didn't seem at all bothered by this!

Really chilled out, lovely little lad.

Just couldn't believe how well these two get on together. Such easy dogs to handle, a nice carefree walk and they are both very affectionate. Couldn't not fault them - lovely dogs and they made us both smile.

Today was the first time I'd walked Minx since he was seperated from Nancy.
In the kennel he was great, really calm. I put a harness on him although there was no need, on the walk he walked by my side most of the time, he understood 'heel', 'wait', 'stay' & 'sit'.
We only did a short walk as it was so hot, we stopped for water and a fuss and he was all over me, a really affectionate lad.
On returning to the kennels I took him into the paddock and took some photos, attached below.
A really enjoyable walk in the sunshine!

As soon as a suitable dog arrives Minx really needs to be paired. He is very lonely.
Alternatively if there were a foster home that could look after him with another dog that would be great. He is such an easy going lad and very depressed since his girlie left for her new home. Sad

Minx had a very, very special visitor today. Little Nancy put her head around the kennel door and said "yohoo...do you want a cup of tea!"

Nancy has come back ... we can't say her home didn't work out, it did, but the family were conscious that Nancy wasn't as playful as their dog and in discussion it was decided they would continue to foster her until a home was found. Then a home turned up which will have Minx and Nancy together ... so Nancy has come back to be with Minx and they are meeting their potential owner on Saturday.
