Daisy, an English foxhound, was bred as part of the multi-million-pound puppy trade we’re tackling head on. She was advertised as a beagle online by puppy dealers. Sold to an unsuspecting family with false vaccination records and an unregistered microchip, the people who bred her did not care one bit about her welfare. When the family realised she was a foxhound, they had to make the heart-breaking decision to give her up as they couldn’t provide the space or stimulation the breed needs.
When Daisy arrived with us, she was 18 weeks old and already showing a lot of the behavioural issues we come across regularly with puppy-farmed dogs. Daisy hadn’t learned basic things like how to play safely, so our team set-up a tailored rehab programme to help her learn what was okay and what wasn’t.
Thankfully, she found her forever home and even has another foxhound named Max to snuggle up to and play with.
