Sammy needs a home !!

Sammy has now found a home !!

progress update: 31/1/12

Sammy is 16 months, a Beagle/Border Collie cross (probably!), tan and white, slim and fast.
Loves: – Walks, food (eats fast), going to the pub, people, other dogs, Radio 4!
He is house trained and obedient.
Good on the lead after the initial excitement.

progress update: 12/11/11
Hi, I am staying with Jeff and his gang of dogs and a horse.
I am a mixture with a bit of Beagle in me.
I am bigger than I look in my photos more Springer Spaniel size.
As I think I have said before I was thrown out of a car as it was going along the road.
I have had a little trouble with my back legs as a result of this but Tom the vet says I am all okay to go to a new home now.
I like older children best the younger ones don’t always understand how to behave around a dog.
I enjoy racing around the land at the back of Jeff’s house with his dogs.

Sammy is a Beagle cross that was thrown out of a car with his sister.
He gets on very well with other dogs and is popular with Jeff’s friends at the pub who he shares a teatime drink and chat with every night.
All his drinking buddies like to discuss world politics but don’t worry he won’t bore you with lengthy discussions about the state of the world as he is much more interested in walks and laying in front of the wood burner in the evenings.

He is such a beautiful boy with bags of character, mad as a hatter.
He is very easy to train as he cottons on to commands very quickly.
He is almost totally housebroken, I say almost because we still have the occasional excitable accident.
His favourite game is tug of war, but we have to make sure that it is us that wins in the end and not him (important aspect of training).

progress update on Bebe (aka Arizona): 15/6/11

Hi Helen,

Bebe is doing really well and we consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have her.
Her favourite pastimes are taking long walks, bouncing on the trampoline with the children and playing! She has the sweetness nature and enjoys nothing more than cuddles on the sofa at the end of the day.

I have sent you a few photo’s so that you can see what a beauty she is!

Kindest Regards,
Tanya

progress update on Buffy: 14/6/11

Hi Helen
Buffy continues to do well and never fails to amuse us.
She has just come into season and as you can see from the photo, she is sporting some very tasteful underwear!!
I wonder how her siblings are doing?
Thankyou again.
Kind regards and best wishes,
Sam and Richard

Charlie needs a home !!

Charlie needs a home !!

progress update: 29/1/12

Charlie is about 2 years old.
He gets on well with other dogs and our cat, who treats him with utter comtempt as he is the same size as her.
She has had a go at playing with him but he’s not too sure of her.
He is good off the lead and enjoys chasing a ball which he then carries around.
He does whine a bit when people leave for work/school but it doesn’t last long and he is very happy to see you when you arrive home.
He is learning to sit and wait for his food but this is a work in progress.
All in all he’s a very happy chap.

Jackie

Roland

NOW REHOMED

progress update: 1/2/12

This is Roland who a year ago in Dec went to live with Lorraine and Graham.
At first Roland was NOT good with Tessa their other dog but as you can see from perseverance on Lorraine’s part he now cuddles up with Tessa every night.
Thank you Lorraine for not giving up on Roland!

progress update: 10/9/11

Lorraine sent this photo of Roland with his companion.
It took a long time and a lot of patience for Lorraine to get Roland to this stage where he will share a bed with no growling.
As you can see a little perseverance and two dogs can become the best of friends.

progress update: 17/2/11

Roland who without his muzzle on slept in the bed with Tessa.
Lorraine and Graham deserve ever ending thanks for perserving with him.
He is a lovely dog who had not been treated well and has not been easy for Lorraine, Graham and Tessa to live with at times.
Well done them and thank you.

progress update: 30/1/11

Roland has new friends to get used to 5 chickens so far behaving himself fairly well!

Dougal (a.k.a. Shadow)

Dougal has now found a home !!

progress update: 30/1/12

progress update: 16/1/12

Hello Helen,
just a quick update on Dougal
he has settled in well and loves all the attention, our other dog has put him in his place a couple of times but she loves the company.
Thank you for introducing us to him
Mike

Have had Dougal for almost a week and he has settled in well.
I’ve taken him up the park and have had him of the lead, his recall needs a bit more work as he gets distracted but he does come back eventually.
He met the usual suspects and their owners at the park and got on well with all of them.
He will chase our cat if given the chance but the cat is happy to sleep on a low chair within his reach.
He’s a lovely friendly dog with bags of potential to make a wonderful pet.
He will sit when asked and waits for a signal to start eating his food.
He walks well on a lead and is easily checked if he starts pulling.

He is a year old, gets on with dogs and children.

Dougal has now found a home !!
