NEWPORT - Suki Saluki

[Baglady]

Please welcome our newest resident - Suki, darling Saluki girl



Suki was brought in as a stray, and it's fair to say she isn't exactly in great condition. Suki is badly infested with fleas, and although Salukis are slender by nature, Suki is quite underweight with prominent ribs, spine and hip bones...



Surprisingly though, despite being verrrry hungry, Suki is well-mannered enough to 'sit' and with a little help she can take treats quite gently...



Salukis are quite special, they are lithe and athletic, mischievous, and have been bred over hundreds of years to be keen hunters. Although they need daily exercise - a good run to burn off their energy and keep them in tip top condition - salukis shouldn't be let off-lead except in enclosed areas. The staff will be looking for a breed experienced home for Suki if she is not reclaimed by her owner.

Although salukis are generally a little wary of strangers, Suki was happy to stretch her legs and made friends with Miss Lesley!





If you have previously owned a saluki and would like to meet Suki, please contact NEWPORT CITY DOGS HOME for more information. TEL [phone] between 11am - 1pm and 2pm - 4pm, on weekdays, 11am - 1pm and 2pm - 3.30pm on Saturday. Please note: the home is CLOSED on Sundays.



Rehoming fees are from £100 - £200 depending on the age/breed of the dog, and include 1st vaccination, flea & worm treatment, neutering and microchip.

Is she still available? I was also wondering if she is able to be rehomed with other dogs as we have a saluki already at home and are potentially looking for another.

Thankyou!

Hi @salukiowner

Best thing to do is give the home a call tomorrow and the staff can tell you if Suki is still available and whether she could be rehomed with another dog etc.
Tel. [phone] between 11am - 1pm and 2pm - 4pm

Good luck!

Hi Salukiowner.

Suki is indeed still looking for her forever home. She has only been at Newport for a few days and as she was in a bit of a state is receiving some TLC at the moment.
She's shown herself to have good doggy manners and is good with adults and children. Such a gentle soul.
If you'd like to pop down and meet her that would be fab.
I know the staff are looking for an experienced Saluki home!

Hope to see you soon!

Had the pleasure of walking Miss Suki for the first time today. And wow! What a well mannered dog to walk! And a bit playful at times too!

She is an absolutely beautiful girl and loves regular cwtches along the way

Oh Suki you absolute darling!

Sorry I've no photos to add but Suki is looking do much better than when she first arrived. My youngest today described her as looking like an angel - so much soft fluffy blonde hair!

We took her out for an hour this afternoon with her kennel neighbour and best pal, Tia.

The pair had such a beautiful stroll together, as they often do with some of our regular volunteers, and they clearly enjoy each others company. Suki is gentle as a lamb on the lead but don't be deceived - Suki has a funny little character to her and I'm sure in the right home she'll be happy to occasionally kick up her heels goofball-style.

A pleasure to spend time with Suki & Tia this afternoon.

Suki Saluki would like to thank everyone who made her stay with us sooooooo much fun!

She is starting her new life with her new peeps and we couldn't be happier for her!

Suki, now Fizz, settled in really quickly in our home. She enjoys a bonkers bounce around the garden and can change direction without slowing down at all; amazing to watch! Fizzy enjoys her walks but also very much enjoys being in the house with us. She prefers to lie on a sofa rather than a dog bed (we were warned!), but sometimes climbs on my lap instead. Fizz has a beautiful nature to match her beautiful looks and we are so pleased to have her as part of our family.
