Adopter Bright and Beautiful Beau the Terrier
Krydsede raser · Mand · Ældre · 14 år
Beau er en intelligent Jack Russell/Patterdale Terrier-krydsning på 13–14 år, som kom i Oldies Club's varetægt på grund af sin ejers dårlige helbred. Han er i øjeblikket i pleje i Derbyshire og venter tålmodigt med sin lille kuffert pakket og klar til at tage af sted til sit perfekte evige hjem. Sammendrag: Trods sin alder er Beau stadig en aktiv lille fyr, der elsker sine gåture over alt andet, så han ville nyde et hjem, hvor han kan komme ud i det fri så meget som muligt. Lad dog ikke hans størrelse narre dig – Beau er ikke en skønsengshund og er ikke overdrevent kælen. Selvom han er meget kærlig, foretrækker han kærlighed på sine egne præmisser og bryder sig ikke om for meget håndtering. Beau foretrækker langt bedre rolige landlige stier end travle bygader og søger et stille, roligt voksenhjem, hvor han kan falde til i en beroligende rutine. Han ville også elske, at der var mennesker omkring ham en stor del af tiden for at holde ham selskab. Vender sig langsomt til sit nye hjem: Det tog Beau cirka en måned at falde til i sit plejehjem. Kan efterladtes i korte perioder: Beau kan falde godt til, når han af og til bliver efterladt i nogle timer, men han vil ikke have, at dette bliver en fast del af hans rutine. Han foretrækker langt bedre at have sine mennesker omkring sig og ville ikke passe godt ind i et hjem, hvor han bliver efterladt alene hver dag, mens hans ejere er på arbejde. Beau trives på samvær, rutine og tryghed. Foretrækker at være den eneste hund: Beau kan være nervøs omkring andre hunde. Han kan gå hen til hunde, han møder af nysgerrighed, men kan blive bange og reagere defensivt, hvis de viser for stor interesse for ham. Beau foretrækker at lave sine egne ting fremfor at lege eller interagere tæt med andre hunde, så det føles, at han ville være gladest som den eneste hund i hjemmet. Dog kunne man overveje, at Beau boede sammen med en anden mild og rolig hund, der ville respektere hans plads. Muligvis bo sammen med en kat: Beau har set katte udenfor og har vist lidt interesse eller lyst til at jagte, men har aldrig boet side om side med en katteven. Har brug for et voksenhus: Beau kan være forsigtig over for børn og har tendens til at undgå kontakt med dem. Pludselige bevægelser eller uvante håndteringer kan gøre ham angst og utilpas. Han har derfor brug for et voksenhus, og ville bedst trives i et hjem, hvor han slet ikke behøver at komme i kontakt med børn. Sover i sin egen seng: I øjeblikket ser Beau ud til at være gladest, når han sover i sin egen seng nedenunder, og han kan godt lide, at der er lys tændt for at give ham tryghed. Han falder langt bedre til ved dette. Det føles, at han også ville klare sig fint med at sove på sit menneskes værelse, hvis det var det, der foretrak, men han undgår dog trapperne på grund af lidt svært ved at håndtere dem. Hans forben er ikke lige så stærke som hans bagben, så det kan være svært for ham at komme ned ad meget smalle trapper. Alle andre trapper/have-trin er helt problemfri. Elsker sine lange gåture: Beau elsker sine daglige gåture og nyder i øjeblikket en times gåtur hver morgen sammen med en kortere tur om aftenen. Han ville ikke passe godt til nogen, der kun ønsker at give ham en hurtig 10-minutters tur rundt om hjørnet. Da Beau kan føle sig nervøs ved trafikerede veje og trafik, vil han langt bedre trives i et stille område med rolige gåveje, hvor han kan slappe af og udforske. Han bliver meget begejstret, når han ved, at det er tid til at gå, og han nyder godt af en rolig, stille rutine, før han går ud af huset. Beau kan trække i snoren i starten af en tur, fordi han er så ivrig efter at komme af sted, men han falder snart til et mere stabilt tempo. På nuværende tidspunkt har Beau ikke været løsset, men han kender sin egen navn, og hans plejeperson mener, at med fortsat træning vil hans tilbagekaldelse blive bedre. I det rigtige sikre miljø kan han måske på sigt nyde noget motion uden snor. Rejser i bil: Beau bruger i øjeblikket en burkasse, når han rejser i bil, og efter at have været lidt urolig i starten, slapper han snart af. Da han ikke er stor fan af at blive rørt og løftet, er det bedst at få ham ind og ud af bilen, når han er faldet til i sin burkasse. Favoritbeskæftigelser: Gåture, at sidde i solen og spise! Hvad får Beau til at blive bange: Beau er en følsom lille sjæl, der søger et roligt og forstående hjem. Han er ikke glad for høje lyde eller pludselige bevægelser og kan føle sig utryg omkring ukendte hunde, store køretøjer, kraftig regn, hagl eller at blive efterladt alene i mørket. Beau kan heller ikke lide at blive opfattet, og kan bide, hvis du insisterer, så han har brug for en nænsom interaktion på sine egne præmisser. Han kan i starten være forsigtig over for nogle mænd, selvom det meget afhænger af den enkelte, og når han først føler sig tryg og komfortabel, kommer hans kærlige natur igennem. Beaus perfekte hjem: Beau ville passe bedst til et roligt, tålmodigt, voksenhjem med terrier-eksperter, der nyder at tilbringe tid udendørs og søger en kammerat til at gå ture og udflugter med. Han ville trives i et stille hjem, hvor der er nogen omkring ham en stor del af dagen, så han kan falde til i en beroligende rutine, hvor han føler sig tryg og sikker. Beaus nye familie skal give ham tid, forståelse og tålmodighed, mens de fortsætter med at opbygge hans selvtillid, men til gengæld får de en kærlig og loyal lille ven. I god sundhed: Beau er i god sundhed for sin alder og har i øjeblikket ingen løbende medicinske problemer. Da han første gang ankom til pleje, havde han lidt hårtab, som siden er blevet behandlet og forbedrer sig godt. Han har stadig lidt tyndt hår omkring bagenden, men det ser ikke ud til at genere ham overhovedet. Beau er kastreret, vaccineret og mikrochipset. Fire ord til at opsummere Beau: Intelligent, opmærksom, sød og sur! Sidste ord fra plejer: "Beau er en sjov, intelligent lille gammel herre, der knytter stærke bånd til de mennesker, han stoler på. Under sin bekymring for verden er han en loyal og underholdende kammerat, der stadig har masser af eventyr tilbage i sig. Når han først er faldet til, elsker han intet mere end at udforske på gåture, snorker i solen og er tæt på sine mennesker. Han kan have brug for lidt tålmodighed i starten, men at se hans selvtillid vokse er utroligt givende." ——————————————————- Hvis du gerne vil tilbyde Beau sit kærlige evige hjem, så læs vores Adoptionsprocedurer for information om adoptionsprocessen.

Beau is an intelligent 13–14-year-old Jack Russell/Patterdale Terrier cross who came into Oldies Club care due to his owner’s poor health. He is currently in foster care in Derbyshire, waiting patiently with his little suitcase packed and ready to head off to his perfect forever home. Summary: Despite his age, Beau is still an active little chap who absolutely loves his walks, so he would enjoy a home where he can get outdoors as much as possible. Don’t let his size fool you though — Beau is not a lap dog and is not overly cuddly. While he is very loving, he prefers affection on his own terms and does not enjoy too much handling. Beau much prefers peaceful countryside trails to busy city streets and is looking for a quiet, calm adult home where he can settle into a reassuring routine. He would also love people around for much of the time to keep him company Settled in slowly: Beau took about a month to settle into his foster home. Can be left of short periods: Beau can settle happily when left for a few hours occasionally, but he would not like this to become a regular part of his routine. He much prefers having his people around him and would not suit a home where he is left alone every day while his owners are at work. Beau thrives on companionship, routine and reassurance. Prefer to be the only dog: Beau can be nervous around other dogs. He may approach dogs he meets out of curiosity, but can become frightened and react defensively if they show too much interest in him. Beau prefers to do his own thing rather than play or interact closely with other dogs, so it is felt that he would be happiest as the only dog in the home. Possibly live with a cat: Beau has seen cats outside and has shown little interest or desire to chase, but has never lived alongside a feline chum. Needs an adult-only home : Beau can be wary of children and tends to avoid interaction with them. Sudden movements or unfamiliar handling can make him feel anxious and uncomfortable. He therefore needs an adult-only home, and would be best in a home where he won't need to come into contact with children at all. Sleeps in his own bed: Currently Beau seems happiest sleeping in his own bed downstairs and likes to have a light left on for reassurance. He settles much better with this. It is felt the he would also be fine sleeping in his human's room if that was preferred, but does seem to avoid the stairs due to a little difficulty managing them. His front legs are not as strong as his back, so coming down very narrow stairs can be tricky for him. All other stairs/garden steps are no problem at all. Loves his long walks: Beau adores his daily walks and is currently enjoying a one-hour walk each morning, along with a shorter walk in the evening. He would not suit someone looking to provide only a quick 10-minute walk around the block. As Beau can feel nervous around busy roads and traffic, he would much prefer to live in a quiet area with peaceful walking routes where he can relax and explore. He gets very excited when he knows it’s walk time and benefits from a calm, quiet routine before leaving the house. Beau can pull on the lead at the start of a walk because he is so eager to get going, but he soon settles into a steadier pace. At present, Beau has not been let off lead, but he does know his name and his foster carer feels that, with continued training, his recall will improve. In the right safe environment, he may eventually be able to enjoy some off-lead exercise Travels in the car: Beau currently uses a crate when travelling in the car and after being a little unsettled at the start, soon relaxes. As he is not a big fan of being touched and lifted, getting him in and out of the car is best done once he is settled in his crate. Favourite pastimes : Walks, sitting in the sun and eating ! What makes Beau frightened: Beau is a sensitive little soul who is looking for a calm and understanding home. He is not a fan of loud noises or sudden movements and can feel uneasy around unfamiliar dogs, large passing vehicles, heavy rain, hail or being left alone in the dark. Beau also does not enjoy being picked up, and might snap if you are insistent, so needs gentle interaction on his own terms. He can initially be wary of some men, although this very much depends on the individual, and once he feels safe and comfortable his affectionate nature shines through. Beau's perfect home : Beau would be best suited to a calm, patient, adult home with terrier-experienced people who enjoy spending time outdoors and are looking for a companion to join them on walks and days out. He would thrive in a quieter home where someone is around for much of the day, allowing him to settle into a reassuring routine where he feels safe and secure. Beau’s new family will need to give him time, understanding and patience while they continue to build his confidence, but in return they will gain a loving and loyal little friend. In good health: Beau is in good health for his age and currently has no ongoing medical issues. When he first arrived in foster care he had some hair loss, which has since been treated and is improving well. He still has some thinning hair around his back end, but this does not seem to bother him at all. Beau is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Four words to sum up Beau : Intelligent, observant, sweet and grumpy ! Last words from fosterer: "Beau is a funny, intelligent little old gent who forms strong bonds with the people he trusts. Underneath his worries about the world, he is a loyal and entertaining companion who still has plenty of adventures left in him. Once settled he loves nothing more than exploring on walks, snoring in the sunshine and being close to his humans. He may need a little patience initially, but watching his confidence grown is incredibly rewarding " ——————————————————- If you would like to offer Beau his loving forever home, please read our Adoption Procedures for information about the adoption process. You can then contact the Oldies Club rehoming team as follows: Email: for an application form. Or , leaving a message including your email address, and we’ll email an application form. Beau can be rehomed anywhere on the UK mainland – the closer to his foster home the better – subject to a satisfactory home visit. Note that you will be required to travel to the foster home to collect him. If you would love to offer a home to an oldie but your circumstances aren’t suitable, perhaps you would be kind enough to sponsor one of the special oldies we are caring for that, due to health problems, are unlikely to be offered a permanent home.
