Heston is a sweet 2 year old Pug cross Tibetan Spaniel. Heston has been with us a long time - he was homed once but was returned because his adopter could not manage his behaviour. Since then, he has matured and Heston has become more manageable but he still needs a very special home. He needs an owner who can see past his cute fluffiness and see the dog that is desperate for a home of his own.








We believe Heston may have suffered from a type of juvenile epilepsy although we and our vets cannot be sure. He was very unpredictable but this has improved and he is currently in foster with a number of other dogs where most of the time he behaves wonderfully. He does not like dogs who get in his face and who antagonise him and if this happens he will pin them although he no longer bites.

Everyone who knows Heston loves him and it is our wish to find him a home where he will be loved and cherished. In return he will give his adopter hours of fun and be a loyal and loving boy. He is though, first and foremost, a dog and needs an owner that will treat him like one.

He has been assessed by a behaviourist and whoever adopts him will need to continue this at our expense either with the same behaviouist or a qualified one that practices positive methods of training.

Heston needs a home with no children and would, we believe be better as an only dog. He needs to be busy and out and about in the day, this dog is no couch potato although he loves nothing better than a snooze in front of the fire. He loves water and likes to swim, he will walk and run for miles and loves his toys.

If you think you are the special person Heston is looking for then please complete a pre adoption form and we will contact you for a chat. We will give you all the information we have about this lad and any backup needed.

He has been neutered and vaccinated and is currently on foster in South Wales but we home across the UK. If you're interested in adopting Heston, please read our adoption guidelines and procedure;

Here's what the lady who used to walk him has to say about him:
"This little boy is a real character, and most of the time his manners are impeccable.

He runs off lead, and his recall is excellent, he sits, lies down and gives his paw. Heston delights in being out and about and is no trouble at all out on a walk.

His past issues are much better. In the right home I'm sure that Heston will thrive and go on to make someone a lovely companion."

He looks like a really nice dog.

Do you know how he is with cats? we have 2 older cats and so any dog we look at getting needs to be able to get along with them.

Cheers.

Unfortunately Heston cannot live with cats. Here are our cat friendly dogs needing homes:

Dewi - 5 year old Foxhound - Dog, cat and child friendly
Molly - Adorable 10 week old JRT cross
Sweet - 11 year old Lab cross - Good with dogs and older children
Stella - 10 month old mixed breed - Sweet girl needs a chance

Poor Heston is still waiting for a home that understands him and can give him lots to do... have you got the lifestyle right for this dear little boy?

One of our kennel dog walkers took Heston out today and says that he is an absolute pleasure to walk and is good as gold.

Heston will sit, lie down and gives paw on command plus he has excellent recall.

He is a real little character and loves running in the mud, diving in the pond, he playing fetch.

Heston has had his issues in the past but has come on so incredibly well. He just needs an active lifestyle with an experienced dog owner.

Can anybody offer gorgeous Heston a home?
