Hartley

If you are after a big-hearted adventure buddy who brings joy (and a fair bit of laughter) everywhere he goes, Hartley might be just your lad. At three and a half years old, this Foxhound is a gorgeous blend of goofy charm, boundless curiosity and classic hound enthusiasm. He is a Big Friendly Giant who does not quite realise how large he is, so is looking for a family with secondary school aged children, who are confident around a dog who bounces with excitement. Hartley is happiest when life has a gentle rhythm. He thrives in quiet walking areas, where he can follow his nose without feeling overwhelmed. He is a strong lad on the lead, so he is looking for someone who can enjoy working with him positively while keeping things steady and safe. He doesn't enjoy be left at the moment, so any leaving will need to be introduced very gradually. He could also thrive in a suitable outdoor establishment with another dog which might be a lovely stepping stone into a home down the line. And speaking of other dogs—Hartley absolutely adores them. He must live with another dog as he gains huge comfort and confidence from canine company.
