What a darling dog in need of a loving quiet home

We are a Charity dedicated to helping Golden Retrievers who for whatever reason, need to find a new home.

It’s taken me a few days to feel up to sharing this with you all on here. I am heartbroken to have to tell you that this week we had to let my darling Otto peacefully go to his forever sleep. He was my family and the gentlest soul you could ever meet. He was the reason for The Contented Hound. He was my best friend. It was a privilege and an honour to say he was mine. I love him and I miss him terribly.

Who’ll be watching? I know I will! And even better if you’re at Crufts, pop along to the Discover Dogs area and you can meet Hugo’s dad Cooper! He’s there with the Midland Golden Retriever Club and no doubt will be getting lots of attention!! Quite rightly too!! 🥰😍🤩

Great news! Crufts is returning to your screens this March!

Crufts coverage of the world’s greatest dog show returns to Channel 4 and More 4 but not forgetting live streaming from the main arena on Crufts YouTube.

Multi dog household…. We’ve come away for a few days over half term and six dogs are enjoying their time together! It hasn’t always been this chilled but it is possible! Anyone needing advice with their own multi dog household, please do get in touch.

A long overdue human hello 👋from me! Thought it was about time I showed my face. Of course couldn’t resist a pic of my two handsome boys too. Can you believe I’ve been running The Contented Hound for 6 years now! It’s been a lot of fun and a joy to work with so many fabulous clients. Hope you’re all surviving January - just two weeks to go..

What a cutie and a treat to finish the week with a 1-1 with this beauty. At only 5 months old, him and his family needed some support to help him feel more confident at sleeping alone and being left alone during the day. A series of weekly 1-1s and lots of practice in between from his committed family and already in a week we are seeing improvements. As ever, a work in progress but a lovely, positive way to finish the working week!
