Flint is one of 4 puppies rescued from a neighbouring field. The siblings are all sweet-natured, gorgeous puppies who have stolen our hearts instantly!

The litter were born to a small kokoni-like female who was running free in the area of the sanctuary. We have since managed to catch her and she too is now safe at the sanctuary. She became pregnant by a neighbour's dog, a larger cross breed. The puppies spent their first four months in the neighbour's field with their mum and dad coming and going and Constantina supplementing their food.

Once we had space for the pups, we brought them to the sanctuary. We've been amazed by how friendly and calm they are already!

Flint looks quite like his dad, with his mum's big brown eyes that will melt your heart. Although a little shy to start with, Flint is relaxing every day and his tail is always wagging.

When the puppies are out in the yard together they play very nicely with each other. Flint in particular seems to love other dogs and goes up and down the kennels greeting all of the other dogs.

We can't say for sure what size the puppies will be when fully grown, especially given that their parents are such different sizes. But Flint has lovely big fat paws so we're pretty sure he'll be at least medium sized.
