The minimum adoption donation for Flint is £150.
Flint is currently undergoing a 14 day assessment and will be ready for rehoming from [10/2/15]. Applications are welcome during the assessment period.
Well there's a bit of a story with poor Flint, he came to us through no fault of his own with a very poorly leg which had to be amputated, after a few days in vets he came home into a foster home he was extremely nervous and in lots of pain with that he escaped out of the home he went missing for 2nights and 3days! We managed to rescue him on the third night with around 50 people from far and wide it was all over face book and lots of lovely people came to help it was so kind of everyone and we couldn't have found him without everyone's kind generosity on a cold,windy Xmas night when I'm sure you they had loads to do. The first day he came to us he was extremely nervous and scared he tried jumping over my gate to get away from us, he jumped at every little noise, with each day he has come to trust us, we've taken it very slowly and let him lead and 5 days later he's wagging his tail, letting us stroke and scratch his ears, he's come through so much in the last week I can't imagine what he's been through but he's learning to trust again :). Flint will want his own forever home when he's fully healed both physically and mentally, I will update as things change with photos, watch this space :).......
Please put in an application in the first instance if you are interested in Flint. Approved applications will be home checked.
Details of our adoption procedures and adoption application form are http://www.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/adoption_procedures.html

He is looking very comfy and his bruising is fading thank goodness

Omg Flint is so coming out of himself, he loves a cwtch where before you couldn't go near him! He's fab on the lead and we can now leave him off lead in quiet places where we regularly go for a walk, he's getting better with recall, as before we daren't leave him off lead and lock all doors, but he now likes being with us and the warmth of our home! The only thing is he hates the rain and won't go out we have to take him out in garden with an umbrella lol. He's starting to play with us and robin a little, he will jump and skip a little which is lovely to see!

Flint is doing so well he's such a sweetie' he's still a little timid around people he doesn't know, but the more people he meets the better, he does come round after about 5/10 min. He comes up on the sofa now for a cwtch :). He likes the car just gets in with no probs, he only has accidents in the house when it's raining and he doesn't like the rain so we really have to persuade him or take him for a walk :). He starting to play with me now by hop skipping and jumping around me which is fab to see :). We went for a walk down ogmore the other day when someone recognised him, she came to his rescue on the night we found him! He really is famous! :)

Well this special,sweet,timid,lushus doglet still needs a comfy sofa to call his own! He's so perfect,he needs lots of tlc still, and is still nervous of people he don't know but everyday he gets a little more confident :). He runs like the wind when he's off lead chasing Robin you would never think he had 3 legs! He really doesn't like the cold wet windy weather he hides behind bushes shaking so I have to give him a cwtch and persuade him out :) he loves running through the mud after Robin it's lovely to see he looks like he's smiling :). He's the perfect doggy who needs a perfect home someone out there must want this gorgus pouch!! :)
-
I am totally shocked that Flint has not fund his lovely forever family and sofa yet. :( He is such a special boy :D and has been through so much and come out the other end. Handsome boy so deserves his own special home.
-
:( I quite agree, he's shown such strength & courage with all he's been through, he's such a loving soul & would make a wonderful faithful companion :-*
-
We saw this gorgeous boy yesterday for the first time since the night he was found, when we dropped Miss Muffin off for her little holiday and wow ... what a transformation! I didn't realise it was him for a good 15 minutes, Joy & family has done such an incredible job with this boy. He looks so content & happy!
-
Flint has gone for a little holiday in sunny aberavon today I think he's going to love the beach! I miss him already! :)
-
Enjoy your hols Flint :)

Flints Holiday ...
Day 1 ....spent on the couch just watching everyone ! And refusing to eat :(
Day 2 .... Still attached to the couch no interest in food until a lil fresh cooked chicken jumped into his food bowl then it was a different story ! :o
blowing a gale and pouring down, he's not impressed with having to go out back to toilet it that :-\
Day 3 .... Couldn't put the food into the bowl fast enough !! But won't eat if any one is looking. ;)
Still blowing a gale and raining having to encourage him to go out for toilet ! He really doesn't like the high winds
Still attachEs to the couch. Jack sat on Flints couch and had cwtches !!!!!
Day 4 .... Eating lovely.
Toni had cwtches !!!! I'm still not getting any :'( but then I'm the one making him take the yucky meds for his poorly tummy he had ::)
No rain but still very windy today so we went for a walk down the beach. Flints 1st time in the sand since his operation! He really enjoyed it :D
Day 5 .... Bit late getting up today (7.30) a rather strange noise woke me, sounded like a whale in my house !!! Came downstairs to discover that it was none other than Flint asking to go out ::)
He's eaten but not his food oh no, he and our foster dog Finn swapped meals today !!! That's the only interaction between these dogs so far as Flint hasn't bothered with any of our dogs and they haven't been interested in him.!
The sun is shining and very lil wind, the beach is calling ...... See you on the sand :winktongue:
-
You are such a character Flint :luv: someone is really missing out not having you in their lives :luv:
-
I can not believe this gorgeous boy is still waiting for his special foreverhome
-
HE LOVES MEEEEEE !!! :o :shy:
His tail came out from between his legs and I got a cwtch !!!!!
In fact since returning from the beach he's followed me around the house all day ! Even to the point of waiting outside the bathroom when I went for a shower angel.gif.
Flint is amazing and who ever adopts this beautiful gentle woofer is going to have the most loyal loving companion ever.
-
Aw bless you Flint you are such a sweetheart :luv:
-
:-* You're getting the hang of home life full of love eh Flint? :-*
-
Ahhhhhhh what a lovely write up. He's showing his personality now he's settling in with you all angel.gif
Joy will love reading how well he's doing :)
Surely someone must have a Flint sized space on their sofa.
-
Famous Flint has gone back to his own foster home :'( He will be missed by all of us :luv:
Apologies to Joys husband if he has to sleep on the sofa from now on :shy: but Flint is an awesome companion at night even if he does take up all the bed and he doesn't snore ;D
-
I missed Flint sooo much. I took him to the beach before I took him home he ran like the wind with a big smile on his face :). Thankyou to Tracey and family for having him he sounded like he had a fab time! I swap him with David any day as he sores like a warthog!!! Lol :)
-
Flint is still waiting for his forever home. He's an amazing dog, a good all rounder and fine with children and other dogs. Surely someone has a Flint sized space on their sofa :)
-
Flint has been posted as Pet of the week on Rescue Dogs needing homes in Wales page on Facebook, hopefully may bring him some interest x
-
Well what can I say this fabulous doggie is still with us, I can't understand why he still hasn't found his forever sofa he's perfect :), everyone loves him once they've met him, he has no trouble at all getting round he's faster than my dog once he starts running :), Flint is the perfect guest he's house trained, loves his food fab on and off lead good with other dogs and older children, he's a little timid when he first meets someone new but with gentle patience he soon comes round. He's such a sweet boy he so deserves his own family.
-
I wonder if it would be possible for me to meet the Fabulous, Famous Flint?
-
Hi, you would need to put in an application first. There's a link on the first post of this thread.
-
Ok, Thank you
-
I cant believe that flint is still waiting.he is gorgeous :luv:
-
I can't believe it either he has got some interest tho just waiting to see how the home check goes :) it will be so hard to see him go I must admit he's been with me for so long he's part of the family now but another doggy needs saving so........
-
I have everything crossed for this gorgeous boy he so deserves a lovely sofa to call his own and family to love :)
