Please help Mr Hocus by sharing this page!
Mr Hocus is a small to medium-sized Crossbreed boy (surely some Corgi!) who’s in a foster home in Lakenheath, Suffolk through Safe Rescue. It’s not known exactly how old he is but he’s definitely of mature years.
Hocus can live with older, respectful children from age 12. He could live with other calm dogs or as an only dog. He’s met cats a few times and was as good as gold. He wasn’t exactly relaxed but it’s thought he should be OK to live with a confident cat or two, after careful introductions.
His foster carer said, “Hocus arrived in our care around a year ago. He was not a fan of people generally and his rehabilitation was delayed by several months due to the fact that he had a stroke and we didn’t want to put him under any stress at all whilst he recovered. For several weeks/months his mobility and balance were impaired but recently he has been in good shape so we resumed his rehabilitation.
“Actually just having been around us for all that time had accelerated his progress quite a lot and lead training and handling were actually simpler than anticipated and he’s now ready to look for a new home. Hocus is a portly little chap who really likes his food and he now asks for a fuss which he is enjoying.
“He’s enjoying doing zoomies in the garden and loves off lead walks in secure fields. Hocus has formed a bond with the gentle, playful dog in his foster home but could possibly live as an only dog if someone was home for a lot of the day.
“Anyone taking hocus on will need to be prepared to work to build the relationship and not expect too much back from him in the early weeks. He’s a battle scarred boy who has clearly had a rough life and I still don’t think he can quite believe that there is only good things in store for him now.”
Safe Rescue have a policy that all dogs adopted from them must wear a slip lead on walks. Please only enquire about Safe Rescue dogs if you are happy to always use a slip lead – extendable leads are not acceptable to Safe Rescue. All dogs have to be collected and a crate must be used. Full details of their rehoming policy are on Hocus’ details on Safe Rescue’s Facebook.
