We have received a requst from Rosie Hicks to help re-home Primrose. Her details below.....
Hello,
I am desperately searching for a home for a beautiful, needy, 3 year old saluki lurcher named Primrose, can you help?
Primrose was rescued by a gallant friend from a council pound half dead with 70% hair loss, blisters all over her skin and urine burns on her paws. There's a photo of her on her first night in the pictures section. She's now been nursed back to relative health, has most of her fur back (and the rest coming through fluffily) good, healthy skin and a semi-decent weight on (and growing all the time). She does have some behavioral problems which include bad separation anxiety when she lives as an only dog and general nervousness but these are all surmountable with training and patience. Primrose has been in two different homes in the last 6 months as well as the pound and her time as a stray so is very confused and lonely.
She's a very gentle, calm girl who will sleep 80% of the time and is extremely affectionate in a timid, slightly apologetic way. She is quietly appreciative of strokes and fuss and leans her head against you if she wants a cuddle. She does not need long walks although she can stay out for a good while if necessary, useful for a town person living in a flat. If you're really lucky she will play skips and dances with you and when she's really happy (nearing Regents Park for example) she does lovely little jumps from excitement. She may be a sleepy girl but when she runs she is fast, faster than any dog I've seen. She is incredibly athletic and I have seen her jump over 4ft over another dog just because she could.
What Prim really needs is a comfy duvet, some stability, routine and to be given space as she recovers from whatever it is she's been through. She's been thriving in her current home where she has her own armchair covered with pillows and blankets and is left to her own devises as much as possible. I think she would be best as an only dog but she can live with other calm and quiet dogs who will not overwhelm her. I'm desperate to find her not just any home, but the right home. Primose also appears to be cat friendly. She is respectful of cats.
She has full, top line insurance paid for a year which includes behaviorist fees if you would like help with her separation anxiety and I'd be happy to keep paying for the medication she's currently taking for her skin until such time as she doesn't need it any more, even if that's for the rest of her life. I'd also be happy to drive her to anywhere in the country on spec for an introduction.
In person she is an absolute heartbreaker and everyone she meets falls for her instantly. She's had a really rough life so far and just needs love and companionship so she can continue to grow and be the happy, loving dog she should always have been.
Primrose also has a Facebook group which anyone can join. The link is here: www.facebook.com/groups.php?ref=sb#/group.php?gid=55452040361
