DAWGdogs Rescue

DAWGdogs Rescue is a non-profit organisation staffed by volunteers.

Every penny raised goes towards the high costs improving the lives of as many dogs as we are able to save.

Our veterinary bills alone run into many thousands of pounds each year, and the costs of feeding, microchipping, sheltering and transporting those in our care are ever rising.

Please make the DAWGdogs a donation if you can.

You can securely make an online donation using the Paypal button below.

To donate in other ways,

please ring Helen on 01202 380467 for more details!

Thank you so much to everyone who helps keep the Rescue running !

Rescuers, rescue supporters, and volunteers do not walk on water.
We don't wear capes and tights or leap tall buildings.
We aren't better than anyone else, but we do pursue a cause that we believe makes us better than we were before we started.
We make mistakes; we feel we can't do enough; we go broke; we have too many dogs at home; we rant out of frustration; we lose our tempers and get snappy; we have to reject people sometimes for the good of a dog.
We are not always likeable.
What we do is draining, emotionally, financially, and physically.
Please bear with us and forgive us our flaws, because we are doing work that's bigger than we are.

Ali is off to live with a friend of 30 years or more and will have the best of life with them.
Willoughby is teaching the puppies the last of their dog manners which involves chasing them across the kitchen if they are too cheeky, keeping away from his dinner and chasing the mop – not sure chasing the mop was on my list of well behaved puppies !

progress update: 13/01/2019

Gemma and Stuart kindly offered to foster the pups this weekend and I was looking forward to a lay in for the first time in 11 weeks.Still woke up at just before 7 am this morning in time to give them breakfast…. Seems strange not have a chorus of excited puppies ready to start the new day. Carol is off to a fabulous home on Monday.
Here they are enjoying themselves at Gemma and Stuart’s:

Tara was in the family way when she arrived and in October we had the patter of little feet arrive.
Five puppies were born on the 21st October: [Helen’s birthday ^^]
Two have found homes and we have Carol, Ellen and Ali looking for homes.
They are a mixture of allsorts with a dash of Terrier of them.
Gorgeous and entertaining but a lot of work
Anyone thinking of offering a home must be aware that though cute they soon grow and will be chewing for England,
and they need house training and general training.

Missy

Updated January 11, 2019 Categories: DAWGDOGS NEEDING A HOME !!, dogs.

Missy needs a home !!

Missie was kept in a shed with two other dogs and used for breeding.
She has been with us a couple of months now settling in and getting used to everything in the outside world.

From Yvonne who is fostering her :-

She hates cats and loves chasing birds and squirrels.
She loves other dogs, people and children but tends to run up initially barking and growling.
Once she meets them she is fine. Prefers being off the lead and never has to be called back as she stops and checks and returns.
She will be better if there is already a dog for her to live with.
She is good on lead but still very nervous, in particular when it is dark and she tends to bark at shadows.
This is improving. She has boundless energy. She is now clean in the house and sleeps all night.
She has learned from Gino to sit to have her lead on and off.
She will need to be with people who understand her fears.
She travels well in the car and is generally a very happy, friendly little dog when she overcomes her fears.
