About Remi
Remi arrived in the shelter after being found as a stray at the end of the hunting season. Although Cyprus has a reputation for neglecting their hounds and spaniels during the hunting season, Remi actually came into the shelter in really good condition, so we’re hopeful that he’s not had a miserable start to life. On the 24th May, he travelled to the UK as a foster, and is currently living in a foster home in Bedfordshire where he is doing so well!
Remi is estimated to be around a year old and he is such a sweet soul. Being an English Pointer, he has that lovely endearing squishy face, a heart of gold, and such velvety soft fur. Unfortunately, as he’s a bit of a softie, he ended up being the victim of bullying in the shelter, and sadly lost the bottom half of one of his ears in a scrap that was absolutely not his fault. He has since recovered well and his ear doesn’t cause him any discomfort. He also arrived very skinny, as he was always bullied off his food. He has already put weight on though and is looking much better!
Remi is quite a quiet boy with a gentle, calm nature, and he is very trusting and good tempered around new people. He is great with all adults he meets, but he’s not very confident around children, so we think a home with children aged 10+ would be better for him. He does however adore other dogs, and currently shares his foster home with two resident dogs, a male and a female, and he just loves them. He is so snuggly and sweet with them, and he would love having a friend in his new home.
Remi mixes well in a group, reads other canine body language well, and recognises when other dogs want to play, or want some space. He has quite a goofy character, and you can often see the cogs turning, but he’s truly nothing but love. He loves the simple things in life - the sofa, a soft bed, treats of course, and cuddles. He also loves the seaside!
Remi’s ideal home would be outside of the city, with access to a garden and plenty of nice walks each week. He would love the opportunity to explore lots of green spaces, or the beach, and he’ll jump at any chance to use his nose and sniff out interesting scents. He’s an active breed naturally, but is by no means bouncing off the walls and a moderately energetic lifestyle would suit him well. He would also relish any opportunity to snuggle on the sofa with his new family - pointers are amazing cuddlers! He already realises the wonder of home comforts, so now he’ll never be looking back!
Remi is such a good natured dog and any family would be lucky to welcome him into their home. We can’t wait to see him settle in as a companion and best friend, and we know that he’s going to make such an impact wherever he goes.
