🐾 💙 REY – LOOKING FOR HIS FOREVER HOME 💙 🐾
This is Rey.
And honestly, writing this hurts more than I can put into words. 💔
Rey is one of those dogs who gets right into your heart. He is a big, beautiful, loving boy who absolutely adores his person. If he could spend his days cuddled up beside you, having fuss and being told what a good boy he is, he would be in his element.
He craves human attention. He loves being close. He loves cuddles. He loves his bed. And underneath all that excitement and enthusiasm is a dog who simply wants to be loved.
But Rey needs someone who understands him.
He is a big, strong boy and he can be excitable. He can jump up, he gets very excited when he sees other dogs and can bark and whine because he desperately wants to get over and play. His intentions don't appear to be nasty — he is just a very enthusiastic boy who hasn't yet learned that not everyone wants to play as much as he does!
Because of his size and strength, he needs somebody confident, patient and willing to continue his training.
He already knows sit, down and go back, and he responds particularly well to hand signals. He takes treats beautifully and gently, and when my dogs tell him they've had enough, he listens and backs away.
He has never been allowed off lead, so I can't promise what his recall would be like loose. He also needs work around barking, jumping, getting into the car and learning appropriate boundaries when showing affection.
He absolutely hates cats, so a cat-free home is essential.
I feel that Rey would be happiest as an only dog, where he doesn't have to compete for attention and can have the one-to-one relationship he so desperately craves.
And that's the thing about Rey…
For all the things he still needs to learn, he has so much love to give. ❤️
He isn't perfect. I'm not going to pretend he is.
But he is loving.
He is affectionate.
He is clever.
He is funny.
He wants to please.
And he deserves somebody who will see past the things he hasn't mastered yet and see the beautiful dog underneath.
Someone who will give him structure.
Someone who will continue his training.
Someone who will be patient with him.
Someone who will let him be their big, goofy shadow.
Someone who will give him the love and attention he has been craving.
In return, I truly believe Rey will give you his whole heart. 🥹❤️
Rey needs a forever home, not just another home.
If you think you could be that person for him, please get in touch. Serious enquiries only, please. I want to find Rey the right home — one where he can finally settle, feel secure and be someone's very special boy.
🐾 Rey is ready to be someone's best friend. He just needs someone to choose him. 💙
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR POTENTIAL ADOPTERS
Please read carefully before applying.
Hope4Paws UK & Spain is a volunteer-run dog rescue and home-finding team based in Hengoed, South Wales. We are not a kennel, sanctuary or boarding facility.
Most of the dogs we advertise are currently located in Spain, Romania or other EU countries and, once approved, travel directly to their new UK home. A UK meet-and-greet is therefore not possible.
EU DOGS – HEALTH SCREENING
Many of our dogs come from areas where Mediterranean and other diseases and parasites are more prevalent than in the UK.
For this reason, our EU dogs undergo thorough veterinary screening and laboratory analytical blood testing before travelling, together with appropriate vaccinations, microchipping, parasite treatment and other checks where required.
We take health screening very seriously and provide adopters with the known veterinary information and test results available for their dog.
RESCUE DOGS
A rescue dog's history may be incomplete or unknown, and age or breed may sometimes be estimated. Behaviour can change once a dog settles into a new home, and some dogs may require additional patience, training, veterinary care or behavioural support.
Introductions to children and existing pets must be gradual, careful and supervised where appropriate. Compatibility with another dog, cat or child cannot be guaranteed unless specifically assessed.
⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT – NO UK BOARDING FACILITY
Please do not adopt expecting to simply return the dog to us if things do not work out.
We do not have UK kennels or boarding facilities and cannot guarantee immediate collection, return or emergency accommodation.
If problems arise, you must contact Hope4Paws immediately. We provide lifetime rescue back-up, which means we will work to help find a suitable foster or forever home where possible.
This does NOT mean we can immediately take the dog back. Finding a suitable placement can take time.
You must not sell, ******************, privately rehome or transfer the dog without first contacting Hope4Paws.
THREE-MONTH SETTLING PERIOD
We normally expect a minimum of three months to allow a rescue dog to settle before surrender or rehoming is considered, unless there is an immediate safety or welfare concern.
FEES
UK dogs: £395 adoption fee.
EU dogs: £0 adoption fee + £395 standard transport contribution, which may be up to £450 depending on location and transport route.
PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF:
You understand that adopting a rescue dog is a lifelong commitment and are prepared to provide the necessary care, training, veterinary treatment, patience and support.
Our priority is always the welfare of the dog and finding the right permanent home.
