Melvin

This beautiful boy is 6 year old Melvin. He's the most loving, kind and gentle boy and all of us here at Barley adore him. Melvin originally came to us a couple of years ago and found a lovely home but sadly he was returned to us as his temperament changed and he didn't want to go for walks which resulted in him snapping at his owner a few times. When he came back into our care it was clear that he was uncomfortable with his feet, he didn't want to walk and laid down a lot. On closer inspection we found that he had 7 corns on various different pads on his feet and they were obviously causing him a lot of pain and discomfort (his owners vet had missed this). He had treatment and surgery for his corns and has recovered really well. It's been over 6 months since his treatment and we are pleased to say he's remained sound with no more corns appearing and he is really enjoying his walks again. He gets so excited to go out and loves playing with his toys in the field. Having previously lived in a home he is housetrained and is also an excellent traveller. He's such a great boy and deserves to find his loving forever home. A quiet home where be can enjoy nice rural walks would be ideal for him. He'd like a home without children or small animals. He can be homed as an only pet or with a Greyhound girl providing introductions go well. Melvin is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, will go home with collar & lead, house collar, muzzle, teddy, 2kg bag of kibble, Dorwest Herbs supplement, information pack and a lifetime of support and back up should you ever need it. Homechecks and donation apply. If you think you can offer Melvin the home he deserves please will in a pre-adoption questionnaire
