Bob and Charlie

Details of Bob and Charlie

We have the sad story of Bob and Charlie, who are 5 and a half year old Podenco mix brothers. They have the traditional, tan, short coats and they are gentle lads, with big hearts and very kind natures. They are a little chunky atm, but we think that’s a reflection of how much they have been loved and how contented they are. They love all people, no matter the age, and small kids will have their face licked off if the dogs can reach. They do not jump up, but will certainly welcome you and be happy to meet you. As big as they are, they think they are lap dogs. At night, they love their owners so much, that they both like to sleep in their bedroom to be close.

The very sad part is that the boys owner just died, and their mum will have to downsize and maybe to a flat. She doesn’t want to let them go but she can’t see how she will cope and is looking for a home, if possible for both to remain together. They have only known themselves for the last 5 and half years and we are looking for one owner for both, but I’m sure they wouldn’t mind being split if it meant not having to go into a shelter. So to start, let’s just look for one new mum and dad and see how that goes!

There is a lot of information we need to get for them – ie how tall? Weight, But for now lets get them out there to show you all.

This is what their Mum says:

Charlie is more dominant, he looks after his brother. he does like his love, especially his shoulders being massaged, but not as much as Bob. Bob could be tickled all day long, even to pulling your hand to keep stroking him when you stop. They will sit watching while you eat, but they do not beg. If you open a biscuit tin or packet of cheese, does not matter where they are, they will smell or hear it. Their senses are amazing! They can be left for a few hours, they will just sleep and I have had no complaints of any barking when i leave the house, the neighbours know when i arrive home though, they bark to greet.

They are good guard dogs, they only bark if there is a knock on the door or if someone is passing, but they are only saying hello we are here there is not a dangerous bone in their body. They are good with other dogs, they used to have a little play mate, she ran them ragged. Although cats they would chase out of the garden. They do need training on the lead, due to circumstances they have not been walked enough and not for a long time either. Bob will settle on the lead but Charlie tends to pull a lot and he is very strong, but I expect a halti will sort that.

They get excited in the car. Bob is very scared at the vets. Charlie has no problem. They have their passports Overall they are very laid back and relaxed dogs and will be sorry to see them leave.

Their Best Points:

A beautiful, bonded pair.

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.

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.
