NEWPORT - Arty, Stunning Young Collie

[Baglady]

Hang on to your hollihocks collie peeps! Arty has landed



He's clearly just a youngster, we have guestimated that he's well under a year old.



This darling young boy has arrived as a stray. He is suffering hair loss around his hind quarters, and is a little underweight, but that's nothing that a little medication, good food and some tlc won't sort!



Arty is chipped, but the staff have been unable to contact his previous owner. Obviously we don't know anything about his previous life, but Arty is very timid and shy. He made friends with Miss Lesley instantly, and decided that the best seat in the house was next to her!



We really couldn't coax him away...



But he was happy enough to smile for the camera!




Collies can be extremely sensitive dogs, and it can take a little time to earn their trust...



But Miss Lesley seems to have the knack!



And Arty was happy to sit by her side in quiet companionship

Hi,
We've just seen pictures of Arty and would love to come and meet him, but wanted to check whether we'd be the kind of family you might consider as it's a bit of a drive from Exeter in Devon!  We have a 10-year old daughter who loves animals (she learnt to be gentle from an early age as our cat was a timid rescue girl) and a small menagerie:  an elderly cat, 2 guinea pigs, 2 hamsters, 7 chickens and, hopefully next year, will have 2 miniature sheep.  Our garden is huge for a city home, at around 2/3 acre.  We have a lot of visitors and students (I teach from home, including children), so need a dog that can cope with having people around, although we're pretty calm and have the most chilled out cat in the world!
Anyway, we look forward to hearing whether we might be considered...
Kind regards,
Jenny, Simon & Emily Read

Hi Jenny, and welcome to our forum

What a wonderful menagerie you have! It sounds like a wonderful home for a young dog!

Give the Home a call in the morning, 01633 290902. As far as we know at the moment the staff are still taking applications on Arty, he does have one applicant at the moment, but the staff will take up to 3, then let Arty choose the one he feels most comfortable with

It does mean that if he gets three fabulous applicants, two of them will be disappointed. It can be a bit of an emotional journey, but please do contact the Home and have a word with the staff, and let us know how you get on.

Good luck!

Hi, we love the look of Arty and would love to give him a second chance for a good start in life. We currently have 12 month old English springer spaniel called Mojo that is looking for a companion. He is super friendly, with loads of energy. How does arty respond to other dogs of similar size? We live local and can visit with mojo to make sure they can be bestfriends. We will be in to visit in the coming days to find a perfect match for mojo. Recommendations are welcome as mojo will need someone with lots of energy to keep up.

Thanks

Hi Sharanne,
Arty's gorgeous isn't he?! 
Best to give the home a call in the morning on 01633 290902 to see if they're still taking applications on Arty, and if so to arrange a play-date with Mojo!
Good luck!
