Harry, Boxer x Staffie, 2 years old

Harry, Boxer x Staffie, 2 years old



His Story: Harry was found stray as an older pup. His instincts are bashful and his dogs skills still playful and clumsy...so he sat waiting for a rescue place for 5 months. He is now a valued member of our Team!

Salient points: Harry is a young Boxer x Staffie. 6 months in kennels has kept him safe, but hasn't helped him prepare for life. His owner needs experience to offer him training and in 6 months you won't match this dog...his temperament is superb.

Advert: Harry is a Boxer x. Harry 'the boxer manager'... he strangely accompanied another dog Bruno into our rescue! Know what I mean 'Arry Well Harry is a young star in the making. What has life got to offer you? A lot better than it has served up for you so far. Harry has an air of a gentleman, but tinged with a sadness. We are enjoying his company and together we will put fun and laughter on the agenda. We have begun the serious search for his family.

A remarkable dog who needs kindness and guidance. He has the looks! He has loads of personality! He is neutered, vax'd and chipped. Harry is just a novice in some areas, but well meaning. Socialisation is the key word and training classes will soon help Harry in building his confidence. Being in a home environment will allow him to settle away from scary, noisy kennels. A beautiful dog who will capture your heart.

“Please note this dog is currently in boarding kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found".

Hes lovely, I just wish we had more room, but with 2 rescue dogs and 8 cats I'm afraid we don't, he does look a bit sad though and I hope he finds a good home soon.

An update on Harry from one of our volunteer walkers ...

We took Harry for a long and muddy walk in the unexpected sunshine today. Although very bouncy in the kennel he settled into his walk really well. Was completely unperturbed by the traffic on the main road, but very interested in the rabbits we came across now and again!

He was good as gold in the pub garden when we stopped for lunch and he was worn out from his walk so crept up onto my lap for a cuddle. Although he enjoyed some of my chips he didn’t beg at all.

Harry is a beautiful boy who takes treats gently and would make a great pet for a family with time to walk the energy out of him. Sadly kennels aren't doing him any favours as his coat seems quite out of condition.

Just a short walk with Harry today. Harry is practically pure Boxer..he has the Boxer temperament also. Very stressed in kennels as a young dog..it take its toll on him sadly. He has been kennelled since September 2009!!!!!!!



Harry would love a spell in a foster home until his forever home comes along.

An update on Harry from one of our volunteer walkers:

“Harry had a lovely walk in the sun today with Dior. Once he had burned off a little bit of energy he was able to say hello nicely to Dior without being too enthusiastic. Walked alongside each other very well too.



On the way back he was much calmer and apart from having to learn to keep his advances within polite boundaries, he got on well with Dior. They exchanged a few mouth licks and gave out lots of good vibes.

What a lovely boy who so needs someone in his life to channel his enthusiasm”.

Ohhh what a stunner! I'd love to be able to give him a home but we just don't have the room for two boxers.

Hope he finds his forever home soon - I knew I shouldn't have looked.

Another update from Alison, a volunteer walker:

"Took Harry for a good long walk today. We had a lovely time together - he was very bouncy in his kennel and obviously desperate for some time out. So off we went down the road and into the horses field. Once over the bridge I let Harry lead the way and he just kept walking and walking ...

through bluebell woods :


over bridges:



Which way down?



down to the water:


up again:


Do you like my hat?


This way now:


Harry needs exercise time followed by connection time where he can relax in your company.
He has been biting his tail apparently so it is bleeding again. Also he has lost a lot of fur around his face and has is generally not in great condition. He needs so much more than he is getting in kennels. I hope someone can offer Harry a foster home or proper home sometime soon".

An update on Harry by Lynne:

"Harry .. Alison (runs our volunteer walking programme) you have said it and I felt the same meeting Harry today. His situation has become urgent. He must have been found stray young around 8 months old and that means he has spent half his life in kennels waiting..for those pressing lessons in how to meet dogs and settle. He so needs his family. He had a wonderful walk with Dior today and they really got on well..her accomplishment gave him so much confidence. Please may Harry's home come soon".




Harry urgently needs a foster or forever home!
