Adopt Hen

Whippet · Female · Senior · 11 years

Hen is the sweetest old lady, looking for a quiet retirement home with lifelong pal Hank. We don’t have much history for them, but they’ve been in foster for a little while now and have been wonderful house guests. Hen is quite reserved but does have a giddy side to her when she gets going and likes to play with toys. She’s always happy to have people say hello her and likes to be where her foster carers are, often snuggled up by them on the couch. Hen is 11 years old but still active and enjoys her walks, taking lots of time to sniff and take in the local smells. She is content in Hank’s company and will sometimes bark at other dogs, but she is easily distracted with some titbits. She’s less bothered about others as the walk goes on and she tires a little. When it comes to bedtime, Hen likes to take herself off with a cuddly toy or wrap herself in a blanket. Home requirements: Hen is looking for a home with her lovely man, Hank. They are house trained and can be left alone for an hour or two without worry. They're happy in their own company and don't really look to interact with other dogs. Hen and Hank can live with children of high school age. Hen has a heart murmur and requires daily heart medication. Available at Merseyside (Liverpool), Liverpool
