Meet Bay

***** WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FOREVER FOSTER HOME *****

THIS WOULD NEED TO BE CLOSE TO THE RESCUE AS HE WOULD NEED TO RETURN FOR REGULAR VET CHECKS AND MEDICIATION. WE WILL CONSIDER HOMES FURTHER AFIELD IF YOU ARE HAPPY TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH TO THE RESCUE.

We are looking for a foster rather than adoption as we realise that caring for an elderly dog can get a little costly and we wouldn’t want to put off any potential person due to vet fees. However, if you don’t feel that additional costs would be an issue, then we would still consider a permanent home for Bay.

This adorable senior citizen originally came into our care in March 2023 with his partner in crime Pixie. Their owner was devastated to be giving them up but was sadly going into palliative care. This dynamic duo were rehomed several times but were always returned for the same reason, Bay being a little reactive to other dogs.

As time went on, Pixie started to have a few health issues and was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer. Just over a year after being in our care, we had to say goodbye to Pixie. Bay was present when Pixie passed and this helped him to come to terms with losing his lifelong friend.

When Bay found himself alone, we weren’t sure how he would cope with kennel life without his beloved Pixie. We were very concerned as to how Bay would adapt, so we made the decision to find him a foster home. Unfortunately, Bay has recently found himself back at the rescue and we are now looking for a permanent retirement home where Bay can live out his twilight years. He is 16 this year but still a bundle of joy.

This mature gentleman is a little cuddle monster and still loves going on walks. He loves his food and treats as well. As he still isn’t a fan of other dogs, he would need his new home to be pet free. Although he does sometimes bark at other dogs, this is manageable. He has been around children but due to his age we feel he would be better suited to a quieter household with older children.

Bay does have a few health issues, heart murmur, which he is on medication for & dry eye which he gets drops for. There are a couple of other age related issues that staff will talk through with you if you think you could provide Bay the retirement home he needs & deserves.If you would like to be considered to offer Bay a home, you can fill in an application or email the kennels directly kennels@freshfields.org.uk
