Could Zero be your little hero?

He is a wonderfully loving and loyal dog who is looking for an affectionate and loving new family. In the words of his foster mum, if he were a child he would be known as a 'skirt hanger'. He likes to be with his family noseying at what they are doing and accompanying them if they work on the computer, relax in the living room, go out to do some gardening. Whatever they are doing, he would like to be part of it or settled at your side at least (if you are doing something classed as boring by Zero!).

Zero can be rehomed with other dogs. he is living in foster care with two other terriers and is very good with them and is polite with dogs he meets out on walks. Equally his foster family feel he could also be happy as a single dog.

He cannot be rehomed with cats as he is far too interested in them for their safety!!!



Zero walks nicely on the lead with his harness on and is learning to recall. This training is progressing carefully and a new family would need to continue recall training once he had settled in and bonded with them.

Zero is living in foster care with children and is well behaved with them.....however, he does have one little issue which needs further work and would affect the age of children he can be rehomed with. When he is going out for a walk he can get very over excited and if someone touches him or tries to give him a cuddle and fuss he can become frustrated and mouth or nip. This is being worked on by his foster home to try to take some of the excitement out of the situation and teach him coping strategies for his frustration. He could be rehomed with children aged 7 years plus as long as the family were able to manage interacrtions bwteeen Zero and the children at the beginning of walkies time.

Zero can be left for a few hours but he does cry at first. He does not show other signs of being distressed however, he does bond closely with people and will give his little protest when they first leave him.



All Hope Rescue dogs are neutered, vaccinated, wormed, flea treated and microchipped prior to rehoming. A homecheck will be required, and you will need to come and meet the dog with your own dogs and family. Hope Rescue rehomes throughout the UK.

Zero is still delightful. Last weekend he enjoyed a few days by the river in the caravan. He was an absolute star! Lots of ball chasing in the field, not tempted by the moorhens and ducks...wasn't keen on the water and didn't think much of the swan! He went for a meal to the pub (behaved impeccably) and joined his fosterer for a few glasses of vino around the campfire

Zero is such an easy dog, you can take him anywhere. He is full of character, tells you when he wants the garden, his tea (he usually starts asking for this about 4pm!!) and a walk! He doesn't like getting up in the morning and will look at you in disgust if you expect him to move before 7:30am!
