About Gypsy
Gypsy is a gorgeous, spirited girl who loves to be with you as much as possible. She has grown up with lots of dogs of all different sizes and gets along with them all.
Gypsy can still be a bit timid, but she is learning to trust and has gained much confidence.
Gypsy loves her walks too, but requires further training - puppy school would be ideal for her! She learns quickly and wants to please, she had learned to sit for her meals and is housetrained. Gypsy is also used to car travel.
At night, Gypsy loves to wrap herself around her foster carer's neck and keep her warm, she is such a loving girl!
Gypsy is fine with children, but due to her timidness, would best suit a family with older children/teenagers and with at least one person home much of the time. Gypsy also needs another little friend to keep her company as she has never lived on her own.
She is an extremely sweet natured little girl, who will love you with all her heart.
Medical notes
Gypsy has been desexed, micro chipped and vaccinated. She is up to date 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.
