About Wally
Wally by name Wally by nature. Nothing bothers this boy he has the patience of a saint. If you could live on love alone Wally would live on forever. Wally hasn’t been with me for very long. On arrival we realised that Wally hadn’t had any training but is still a very sensible boy. Wally’s training is coming along very nicely, he does it all for love rewards. When Wally knows he is doing well he looks up at you with that great big grin staffies are known for. He is such a lovely boy. Wally is only a young fellow so ongoing training will need to be undertaken. He doesn’t bark, dig, pull washing off the line or chew things. He currently lives with 3 foster dogs who he adores and plays with them all day long. He is a little too interested in cats. This gorgeous boy would love a home where he is allowed inside to be with his family, he just adores people.
Medical notes
Wally has been desexed, vaccinated and micro chipped. He is uptodate with flea and worm control.
Adoption details
Once the animal is advertised candidates for adoption are requested to fill in a form.
The adoption questionnaire form asks where the animal will sleep, details of people and other animals in the home, training and exercise plans etc. We use this form as part of our screening process.
If we like what we read and the animal’s individual needs are met we then conduct an informal phone interview.
Then the potential adopter meets the animal at the carers home or the carer may choose to take the animal to the adopter’s home to do a house and yard inspection.
If the adopter meets the animal at the carer’s home a house/yard inspection is done after the meet.
When the yard inspection is done we are able to further evaluate the suitability of the candidate to adopt.
If we are satisfied that the animals needs will be met by the adopter and that they are a good match for one another then a trial period may begin.
We have legally binding pre-adoption forms which allow us to remove the animal from the home if all other solutions to issues have failed.
We have a good support base which adopters can utilise if needed, such as a professional trainer, a behaviourist, vets and a groomer.
Homeless Hounds offers support to our adopters for the life of the animal. It is policy that each adopter is aware that if the ever need help or to rehome the animal then HH wants to facilitate that.
Our procedures are based on advice from "model" and well established rescue groups and trial and error.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
