Nelly is a lovely girl, very easy going and easy to live with.
She gets on really well with all the dogs here and those she meets on walks. The white markings on her face make her look older than the four to five years that she is.
Easy to walk on the lead, clean in the house and a typical Lurcher coach potato. As soon as arrives back from a walk she curls up for a long snooze.

Nelly arrived into the Rescue with her bones showing.
As you can see she has put on a good amount of weight.
She has clearly been ill treated and still is hand shy but less so.
She immediately got on with the other dogs and really has the sweetest nature.
She is around three years old.
Now she has settled in more I will be taking her out for walks in the park and letting her off in the enclosed area.
More to follow as she settles in.

Ned has settled in well with his foster parents and they have sent this update on him.

Ned is very human friendly and very loyal boy Likes to cuddle and very affectionate.
He would make a very good pet for someone who could spend time with him
Ned is house trained and very clean We have not had any mishaps and let’s you know when he wants to go to loo
When walking on the lead he does not pull but still barks at other dogs (trying to stop it) . He has met nose to nose with a couple of dogs and met them with tail wagging.

Leo: approx. 3 y.o. long haired golden lurcher (best guess saluki x deer / wolf hound).
Neutered. Up to date with vaccinations, flea and wormer.

Leo is a big softy at heart, one who loves to run and play with other dogs, especially a game of chase (he has to be out front!). He will walk nicely on the lead and gets super excited to see his doggy friends, spinning in circles, play bowing and asking for a game of boxing when he see’s them. In the house he will happily chill out or come and find you for a shoulder scratch. He’s very food oriented and has learnt to sit, lie and give a paw in exchange for his dinner or a treat (he’s also learnt a command for going for a wee when outside!). He’s used to living with kids (7 and 9 y.o.) and will take treats super gently.

With an unknown early years history, Leo can find the world super scary. He’s come out of shell a lot in the 2 years we’ve had him but will still jump at anything moving close to him (a foot for example), or unexpected noises (snapping stick). He gets worried when left alone for more than a very short time, even with distractions so needs either human or doggy company. Meeting new dogs can also be scary for Leo and to counter his nerves he will put on a big show telling everyone he needs his space. We’ve worked a lot on positive re-enforcement of disengaging from hyper focus but this will need to continue. Put him in a pack environment however and Leo will mimic the other dogs, copying their actions and ignoring what on his own he would find scary.

Ghost has been with us for a few weeks now and is settling down into life here very well.
Typical puppy who is active and then falls asleep in an instant.
As you can see from these photos, he was one minute playing with a blanket that was in the wash pile, then dead asleep with it in his mouth.
Ghost will sit and lie down when asked.
When off lead in an enclosed area he loves to chase a ball -not so good at handing it over.
Instead hopes a game will ensue with me chasing him in circles.
Missy does this game with him instead.
Ghost will not grow to Collie size rather more the height of Spaniel.

Ghost is a four month old Collie cross Miniature Poodle.
In the last eight weeks he has had three homes before coming into the Rescue.
At first he was unsettled and quite noisy – poor thing; I am not surprised after so many changes in his life.
He is settling in really well as he is very bright, intelligent and full of puppy enthusiasm.

Dudley arrived a couple of weeks ago.
He was another one very thin with ribs showing.
Now under the care of his foster home he is glossy coated and nearly back up to the weight he should be.

This update on him has come from them:-
Dudley is eating well, and enjoying himself.
Johnny took him for another run yesterday, and will do so again on Monday.
He is young so trying to teach him the basics, nervous in traffic but shall work on it.
He is a bit of a tea-leaf with food on table tops- we have got wise to him now!
Tears things up if given the chance…
Very loving, and absolutely no aggression at all.
A lovely dog
