Herbie’s Fresh Start

Last weekend, our volunteers visited Beloved Kennels where Herbie has been living for the last year. They were thrilled with his progress and feel he is now ready to start looking for his forever home!

Herbie’s fresh start 🐶

After spending around a year in the kennels in the UK, our special boy Herbie is ready for his final move at 3 years old!

Herbie has been moved twice due to his severe anxiety, and when he first arrived, he was completely shut down. Simple things — like a new bed, a collar, or human touch — were overwhelming for him. But with time, patience, and gentle encouragement, Herbie is much more like the dog we knew in Romania!

Recently, our volunteers visited him at the kennels. Herbie walked right up to one of our team, Beth (who he had never met), and jumped up for cuddles minutes later. It was really heartwarming to see how far he has come. He’s walking well on the lead now and slowly gaining confidence every day with the help of his dog pals at the kennels.

He will need a family who can commit to meeting him at the kennels in Worcester multiple times prior to taking him home to ease his transition.

His perfect home would be female only, and no children as he is easily overwhelmed. Herbie thrives with smaller female dogs to show him the way in a rural or semi-rural environment. He isn’t spooked by noises like cars anymore but will need a garden as he will likely take a step back in confidence when he moves for a little while. In the home, he will need his own area that is low traffic to retreat to and decompress if needed - a spare room would be perfect!

Could you be his special home?
