APPEAL to find a forever home for MINGUS


Our dear friends and animal lovers,

This is an appeal for Mingus. Please read his story below this picture.

After his rescue he is now in temporary foster care. However, he can not stay there for ever, which means that if not adopted we have to take the awfull decision to find him a place in a shelter, knowing that he will probably never get out.

MINGUS has a sad history and needs, at last, to find a stable, loving home. He was found abandoned and tied to a tree as a puppy but was taken in by a family who loved him then and so did their children. But pups grow and grow and do naughty things so the people didnt want him anymore….heard this story before? Of course you have.

So he was once again tied to a tree, this time as an adult dog, and left for someone else to find. That someone else then tried to find him a home without success. after some time a real dog lover decided to take him in and ask us for help.

Mingus is two years old, of mixed breed and weighs around 20kg. He is quickly at ease with people he trusts and walks fine on the lead.  Sometimes he gets scared if sudden noises or unexpected movements trigger him. Of course, being tied up meant he could not run away or defend himself from “danger”. He is house trained now and has no problems with other dogs. He will make someone a lovely companion. Fine with children and with cats if they don’t run.

Mingus is castrated, tested negative for Mediterranean blood parasites, chipped and vaccinated. Ready to go to his new home here or anywhere in EU.


 

 

 

We have many different pups, dogs and kittens for adoption. Of course not all live with us. Many adults are in the shelters we work with and the cats/kittens are in foster.

Please contact us via our email so we can help you find the pet you are looking for.


THEY NEED YOU

This is the theme we have chosen to post on our home page. They need you and us, indeed.

When we saw this picture we thought: yes, this is it.

The female, typical mixed breed stray, had pups somewhere, dumped and looking for TLC from a human being. Helping these animals to recover and find a new, loving home is definitely OUR mission.

So please look further on this site to see who we are: the faces behind 2ndHand4Footers, what we do and the lovely pups/dogs we have for adoption. Some are with us and some in temporary care. All need kind, loving homes. Together we can provide these.

Thanks,

Marie and Adrian
