Here is Jack playing with Takoda,

as you can see he gets on well with other dogs!

More details of Jack to follow soon.

a good home for Jack

please contact Helen

We will usually only rehome within approx 30miles of the Bournemouth/Poole area
in order that we can ensure the continued well-being of the dogs in our care.
We will sometimes re-home further afield than this but only if the homes are exceptional.
We are NOT looking for just ANY home that is offered.
All potential homes will be assessed to try and ensure the best possible home to cater for the differing needs of each individual dog that we look after.

NEEDING A HOME !!

Takoda is a 15 month old Northern Inuit

He is very sociable and great with other dogs

( here you can see him being introduced to Jack who is also newly arrived at the rescue )

He is also good with children and cats.

He has been attending classes and has successfully completed the first part of his kennel club obedience training.

He comes from a good home.

Unfortunately his owner is no longer able to keep him because

of a new full-time job.

We will be looking for a home which already has another dog as Takoda is used having a lot of company.


If you think that you may be able to provide

a good home for Takoda

please contact Helen

on 01202 380467

or email helen@dawgdogs.net

Categories: dogs, settling in, successfully rehomed.

progress update: 3rd July

Flash is now happily settling into his new home!

progress update: 2nd July

Flash may have found a home, he is going to see it tomorrow!

progress update : 28th June

Flash on his first walk off the lead.

Flash feels it rude not to greet all the people and dogs that he meets out on his walks.

He is good off the lead but sometimes needs a little extra coaxing to leave new friends he meets when out!

Flash has been out for walks off the lead today and is very good,

he is such a nice dog friendly with kids, dogs etc.

Whoever has him will be very lucky!

However today it was discovered that he is scared of cats!

NEEDING A HOME !!

progress update: 2nd July

Harley may have found a home, he is going to see it tomorrow!

HARLEY’S DIARY JUNE 14th

I have been told that I am a big woolly bear and that Helen could just eat me up.

I do hope that she doesn’t mean this in the way that I would like to eat cats!

Dooley has been trying to teach me sky chasing and
groaning but I am much more interested in chasing my ball.

I have been told several times that I am an absolute dream out on a walk,

I do try to be on my best behaviour and always come back when called.

Sometimes though I see scary reflections in the window or hear
a noise outside and then I can be very protective and run outside to
growl and charge the intruder.

Helen says that I get spooked by strange
things and as I don’t believe that humans know how
to look after themselves I feel I have to do this for them.

She says that I will need a home that will work with me to get me over this and
as I am terrier and not a woolly bear I have a terrier mind set.

Sometimes in my past people have not been too kind to me and have hit me,

so if I hear a raised voice or a quick movement I still duck my
head down and try to be invisible.

I don’t do this as much as I used to
as Helen doesn’t believe in hitting dogs and hates cruelty.

Harley is still awaiting a home.

He is a neutered male wheaten terrier approx 2-3yrs old

He is very good natured and friendly,

great fun and very playful,

a lovely chap if occasionally a bit boisterous.

Harley is very sociable when out, loves to chase a ball, meet new dogs and people.

He is the model of good behaviour when called.

He’s not fond of swimming but loves to get his feet wet

He is also very well mannered in the car.

His blood test results were clear and he seems in
the best of health!

If you think that you may be able to provide

a good home for Harley

NEEDING A HOME !!

progress update: 1st July

Thanks to Claire for this update!

You were absolutely spot on about Sammy needing to be around another dog!
His personality changed completely when we brought him back to be with the boys again.
He was quite nervous but he has been affectionate and enjoys being stroked and tickled.

He ate well when he was left alone with no distractions.
He thinks men (well Mark) are lost sheep that need to be rounded up!

Unfortunately he didn’t take advantage of the garden & the nice weather this weekend.
The big wide world was a bit much for him especially as it was windy.
He would make a few brave attempts to go outside but frequently returned to the safety of the crate and was happy to stay there or keep me company in the lounge.
He did have an extremely brave moment on sunday morning when he chased up the garden and back into the house three times in succession the look on his face was hilarious!

Considering his dislike of going outside he was clean in the house.
I have never known a dog hold on so long between calls of nature without an accident.
What has he been used to? we ask ourselves!

I don’t think he knows what to make of dog toys.
The ball I left around for him got a few funny looks but his curiosity must have got the better of him because I later found it in his bed.
He went off it again when he sat on it and it let out a long loud squeak!.
The football also got some attention when he thought I wasn’t looking but given his nervous disposition I removed it just in time to stop him popping it!
Instead he made his own fun by ripping up the newspaper I had put out in case of accidents.
He was delighted when I presented him with his very own cardboard tube and a small box to destroy.

I’ve just finished picking up the bits! (I think he’s into recycling or paper mache)

Sammy ( centre front ), Flash ( bottom left ), Harley ( top right )

Sammy is about a year old and very affectionate.
He will make a very loyal companion.

He was kept in a very small pen with another puppy for most of his life.

His only contact with people was when he was fed.

As he was not socialised as a puppy he has taken a long time to trust people and get used to new surroundings and everyday objects.

He was very unsure of himself when he was out of his familiar surroundings.

He has made great progress and is beginning to show his real character.

He loves his walks and is very good with other dogs.

He needs a home where there is another dog as he has always been with one and it will give him the confidence that he lacks.



If you think that you may be able to provide

a good home for Sammy
