About Pixie and Gypsy
We feel that Pixie and Gypsy need to be rehomed together as they are sisters and very bonded.
Gypsy is the more bold of the two, she is extremely friendly and greets you in the morning with a very wiggly bum and lots of kisses.
Pixie is more reserved and timid, she is used to Gypsy looking after her, always checking she is ok and giving her lots of kisses to make sure she is happy.
These girls are adored by their foster carer, who is working with Pixie to help her understand that the world is not such a scary place.
Pixie and Gypsy are looking for their forever home where there are no young children, although visiting children would be fine. In their previous life, they did not experience much out of the house so they are still getting used to walks, housetraining etc. Their new humans will ideally, be able to spend a lot of time at home with them, be able to take them to puppy school and provide them with lots of socialization opportunities.
They are very, very sweet babies, who will make wonderful companions for their adopters.
Medical notes
The girls have been desexed, vaccinated and micro chipped. They are also up to date with flea and worm control. and are very healthy little girls.
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.
