Hoobee is handsome, 10-12 years old, medium-sized cross breed lad, with a black and tan, short coat. He was originally from Spain many years ago. He is presently lives with three other dogs, of which one is his great pal PIP.
Hoobee is good on the lead, but he will bark at other dogs if approached by new dogs he has not met before. He is very soft, so we think this is a defence mechanism. Once he knows the dog, he is fine. He has never been a problem, once he knows they will not attack him, he is fine with them
Hoobee is a loving dog but likes his own space. He loves walks, but can not be let off the lead as he likes to chase and hunt. His mate is PIP, if you can adopt two calm gentle dogs together.
Hoobee is looking for a new retirement home because of a marriage break up, otherwise he was very loved by his owners and they thought he would be with them for life.
As he was a rescue dog from Spain used for hunting, he will chase (even at his age he likes to run) so cannot be homed with cats / chickens etc ,
He is a loving dog, and he loves fuss and nothing better than to sit in a comfy place on the sofa. Hoobee would be best in a quiet home with retired adults, and older children. Would suit someone who is home and needs a companion and not someone who has cats.
His Best Points :
Friendly loving and walks well on lead.

Adopting A DogWatch UK Rescue Dog
Before being adopted, dogs will have been vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas.
If old enough they will have been neutered, if too young the new owners will need to ensure this is done.
All dogs are microchipped
All new owners can apply for 4 weeks Pet Insurance FREE, to be activated from the link on our website
For Rescue Dogs coming from overseas
This adoption fee is a contribution towards the costs of rescuing the dog including
– microchip, pet passport, vaccines, tests for South European diseases, neutering (IF OLD ENOUGH), parasite treatment and transport to the UK.
We can not home dogs from overseas to people who work full time or long hours, unless some sort of doggy day care is offered. They need someone at home a lot of the day, they are not used to being alone for long periods. A dog walker for an hour out of the day is not enough.
Leaving dogs a long time on their own means they are highly likely to develop separation anxiety which is distressing for them and everyone in their new home.
