DO YOU SEE IT? SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW THERE IS A HOME FOR HIM...
Little Paxti's mum has had to return to Spain and could not take him with her. At the moment he is being cared for by her son and wife. This is not ideal as he is being left full-time. Although fine and not destructive, it is not fair on a pup to be left so long. We are looking for a Foster Home for Paxchi, or a forever home for him. If you would like to offer to foster Paxti, then you would have first refusal at adopting him if he fitted in with your family. He presently being looked after in Hertfordshire, near to Watford. He is neutered, fully vaccinated and ready for a loving home. He is non destructive, has recall, and would dearly love some company. Can you help???

He sounds like the ideal first foster/forever dog. Beautiful!

I'm sure once he is in foster with a couple of other dogs, his need to run over to other dogs to get them to play with him will subside.

Yes, his initial excitement wears off once he realises that it isn't getting him anywhere. My mum has taken him to my sister's house (she has Patxi's sister) and he was happily playing with her and the neighbours dogs in no time.

We could do a last-minute-no-other-options-it's-deparate-and- I've-not-asked-Helen-TEMPORARY-foster. The problem is, I've run out of business colleagues looking for a dog, we're doing our best to get Albert sorted, but it takes time to do it right and we're looking for a break with just two dogs.... I would guess this dog's going to be an easy foster, if you've dog-space. A very good first foster? HINT!

Come on folks, this is a handsome young dog who needs help through no fault of his own and the family are trying so hard to do the best for him.
His owner can't get back from Spain and her son who is caring for him loves him to bits but he and his wife are at work with the little fella being on his own. It's a wonder he doesn't trash the house but sounds well behaved, just young, intelligent, loving and needs to get a home of his own where he gets more stimulation during the day.

Hopefully he is coming in tomorrow to be fostered with Dena in Essex.

Thanks for helping him because he seemed such a lovely "typical" lurcher boy when we met him and his family are so upset about all this.
Do keep us up to date.

He looks gorgeous. So glad a foster home has been found. Sad that we are not in a position to help right now.

Sorry it's upside down! Patxi is a fun, affectionate pup. He took a liking to Jaspers unused bed. He slept in hall over night as Jasper sleeps on sofa. He slept till 5.30 which I thought was brilliant. BUT I need a little support. He barks at Jasper all the time. Jaspers had a couple of snaps but Patxi just comes back barking. I'm concerned to leave them alone together and we have to keep shutting doors to keep them apart. Paxchi is a confident little fellow but he hasn't eaten dinner or breakfast so obviously stressed. Any one got any suggestions and from experience is it likely to improve?

My advice (although others may have different views - I am still fairly new to fostering), get Paxti and Jasper out walking together. I always intorduce a new foster on neutral ground and then before entering the house, walk the two dogs together outside for a few minutes before going in. But in the end, assuming neither are overtly agressive, they need to sort it out themselves. I often muzzle Zephyr for the first bit, so he can assert his dominance to the new dog without injuring it.
He will eat - probably today.
Good luck.

It can take 2-3 weeks when you bring in a new dog, but in most cases the dogs will find their balance by then and you'll know if they are going to be OK together. All dogs are different and handle a new pack member differently but if you watch them carefully you'll detect their body language and the way they look at each other and be able to see the relationship develop. If you watch him carefully you'll also be able to see the signs that he's going to start barking and be able to distract him and get his focus back onto you as pack leader. He's obviously unsure and trying to be brave and tough and if you spot those moments and step in as the pack leader he'll become more confident and less inclined to bark.There are lots of ways of handling these sorts of situations and I'm sure you'll be able to pick up a number of tips from those on the forum.

I agree with Philippa - go out for a good long walk together. It is a bonding thing for dogs to do together, and it should also knacker them out too. Sounds like he is probably just trying to get Jasper to play with him. Hopefully either Jasper will give in, or Patxi will get the message and give up trying.
