HENDRIX UPDATE – SUCCESSFULLY ADOPTED

5-year-8-month-old German Wire Haired Pointer x Kelpie Hendrix is thriving in his new-found heaven.
Angeji the Basenji and I spent hours and hours on the beach with Hendrix, both introducing him to prospective adopters and also witnessing how we couldn’t satiate Hendrix’s energy and zeal for running, chasing, fetching and swimming.
Worn out, we realised why his previous loving owners simply couldn’t meet his needs.
When Craig and family enquired about Hendrix and said they had 3-acres of fully dog-fenced park-like-land for the right dog to romp about on, we grabbed Hendrix and roared out to the property for a meet-up.
Craig’s biggest concern was the safety of their free-ranging chickens. Craig entered the fenced chicken compound to bring out a chicken to introduce to Hendrix. Ahead of the game, Hendrix bounded over the fence like a kangaroo thinking Craig had collected a wonderful big fluffy white ball. Once he realised his mistake he skipped the fence with ease again to find a real ball.
Since then, Hendrix has decided he wants to be friends with the chickens πŸ₯+πŸ•=πŸ’ž – the families concerns completely allayed.
Hendrix has settled in remarkably; socialises with visiting dogs beautifully, very affectionate, gobbles down his nutritional raw meat & veg dinners, loves his occasional beach visits, adores his secure 3-acres to romp and fetch, goes to work with Craig and comes home to play-time in the swimming pool.
Craig has even built Hendrix his very own submerged pool-step so he can jump in & out safely enjoying his new favorite ball-pool game.
Craig, Fran & daughter Charlie are so thankful for Hendrix – they absolutely love him and he is so happy!! It’s also amusing to see all the pics of Hendrix laying finally exhausted on his indoor or outdoor beds πŸ’€πŸ’€ 🐢
So many people will be thrilled to know you’ve found you’re new paradise Hendrix – well done!Β  πŸ˜€πŸš

5-year-7-month-old Hendrix is a desexed male German Wirehaired Pointer (unknown cross, possibly Kelpie).

Originally adopted from the RSPCA as a wee pup, Hendrix has since been a well-loved and cared-for boy. His young growing family simply can no longer provide him with the attention and exercise he needs.

Hendrix is a darling. He loves human company and is very affectionate. He needs a good 1-2 hours of off-leash exercise daily. He’s very chilled around children and other dogs (for the most part ignores them), but will play energetically with another dog if all balls, toys, sticks are removed from the situation.

Hendrix responds well to commands, likes to stay with his human companions when out and about, but is a big puller on-leash. He would suit beach life or country life where he could romp, fetch and swim.

He needs a lot of companionship or he will suffer separation anxiety and become a tad destructive around the home.

If you are looking for a loyal, loving companion and could provide Hendrix with the exercise, stimulation and comradeship he needs, please phone Shell on 0458461935.
