English Setter Cross, 7 Years Old
UPDATE: Bimba is currently in foster in Cambridgeshire where she’s doing amazingly well. She’s settled in brilliantly with the other dogs in the house but equally happy on her own so would suit most households. She would love somebody around most of the day, she’s such a sweetie and just totally adores people.
Bimba loves being outdoors and bounds around a paddock with glee and loves going for walks, especially if they involve squirrels or birds! She is learning to walk on a lead at the moment as her new UK walks are rather exciting so it’s a walk in progress. She’s not phased by anything out and about, happy around traffic and in busier areas such as markets and happy to pop into a cafe, as long as she gets her own Puppuccino! She’s happy travelling in the car and being approached by children and everybody else she meets out and about, she tends to attract attention as she’s so beautiful with gorgeous colouring! She’s a confident, well rounded girl.
Bimba also lives with a cat but would need a dog savvy cat if she lives with a cat in her forever home. She is still taking her leish medication and will need a blood test and her medication reviewed at regular intervals at the moment
Bimba is a 7 year old English Setter cross, DOB 01.01.17
Bimba is a gorgeous girl, she definitely has setter in her but likely a variety of different things, including Brittany, meaning she’s quite small in size. She has wonderful bright and striking colouring. She was unwanted by her hunter in the Basque Country. She’s a really lovely girl, a happy and playful soul who is active and very sociable with other dogs. She shares a kennel with 3 others and they get on great together. She’s really adorable with people too, very affectionate and become attached, always happy to give and receive a big fuss
Since arriving at the shelter, Bimba has tested positive for leishmaniasis. Although leish is not common in the areas we rescue dogs, we never know where they may have travelled in their time with their hunters. However, when caught early like Bimba’s, it’s a treatable condition. For more info see our blog. Bimba has began treatment in Spain already and we will support her new family through any necessary treatment decisions in the future once she has been adopted
