Scruff (a.k.a Little Dog)

Scruff has been rehomed

progress update

Hi thought you might like to see photo of little dog ie Scruff after his adventure down a fox/badger hole.
After an hour and half stood in pouring rain with whistle and at least 10 other people looking for him he came back.
A little sorry for himself but I am sure it wont deter him.x

Jack ( a.k.a Toby )

progress update: Feb 10

Hi Helen

Just an update about Jack.
As you can see from the photos Jack has settled in really well.
He has turned out to be an absolute sweetheart and everybody loves him and he seems to love everybody too (even the vet!!).
He’s full of beans and races around like a puppy and has decided that the sofa is now his and has his afternoon nap sprawled out legswise!
Hope you like the photos

The Day family!

Missy

MISSY NEEDS A HOME !!!

progress update from Bonnie:
This is Missy and she is georgous and sweet natured
She is a 1 year old black and white collie mix female, good off the lead and loves playing with the other dogs we come across on our walks.
She loves the little river in the forest and craves catching her ball.
Missy loves cuddles and is very healthy and has a lovely shiny coat she is submissive and even asks to go outside if she needs the toilet.
I have had no problems having her she is a blessing and will make a family very happy.
I hope she finds a good home. In the meantime I am enjoying spending lots of time with her.

Henry

Henry has now gone to live in Devon!

progress update: 25th Jan 10

Henry has been with Jeff and his dogs for a few weeks, during which time he has learnt his dog manners.
He didn’t really know anything when he arrived. Henry now knows he must sit and wait for his dinner and responds to commands.
He also behaves well on the lead. He sometimes stands and walks on his hind legs but he hasn’t been taught that, that’s his own little trick!
Henry is more comfortable around men at the moment, possibly because the lady he lived with before was struggling to cope with the whole adolescent litter.
He was hesitant when we arrived to take his pictures but curious enough to come and give us a sniff.
He regularly visits the pub (as part of his social training of course!) and can hear a crisp packet opening at 20 paces!
He such a nice looking boy, he gets lots of attention and titbits from his new people friends in the local!
He is clearly very fond of Jeff and seems like he would be a very loyal dog.

My name is Henry, I am 11 months old and until yesterday I lived with my  brothers and sisters at the house where I was born.

There were eight of us plus Mum all together and as we grew into Labrador size dogs and were allowed to do exactly what we wanted we became too much for the lady.

Most people would have realised this and found us homes earlier but we have now ended up in rescue and they are left to sort out the problem of finding places for us.

Helen stated last night that I am a good old fashioned Heinz 57,

for those of you that haven’t heard the expression it means a general mix up of all sorts of dogs.

I am tan coloured ,the size of a Labrador as earlier said and get on well with other dogs.

I am a little nervous of new people because we didn’t meet many in our originally home but I am getting over this quickly.

I do need a home with another dog as I am used to company and I love all food that comes my way,

maybe there is a bit of a wriggly Labrador in me !!

Tara

Tara has been rehomed

progress update

progress update: 31st Jan 10

You and Debbie will be pleased to hear that Tara has quickly made herself at home. She was very keen to fit into our routines. She has found her favourite chair and now feels secure enough to stay in it when we are in other rooms.

She has a new, huge bed. Mind you, we found her joining us under the quilt on her first night!

She thinks that Crackers (our small black & tan mongrel) is lovely. As you know, she is in the height of her season, so keeps offering herself to the poor old chap (he’s a neutered 15!).

She also loves our five year old son. She likes to curl up in the chair with him in the evening. They are great friends. She first met him outside the school gates. Another mother was in tears when she saw his delighted reaction.

She has been introduced to walking in the New Forest. She is very keen to get a move on. A walk that used to last 1 hour only took 45 minutes. Extensions to our routes are required! She learns fast. Despite warnings, she walked too close to a New forest Pony. She jumped away as it tried to give her a kick. She now gives them a wide berth.

Thank you for introducing us. She’s a wonderful dog.

Bob & Lisa Fleming

Tara is a labrador sized cross breed about two years old.

She gets on well with other dogs, cats and kids and is an absolute darling who will be very easy to train

beautiful temperament and extremely affectionate

She has been hit by a car in the last six months and has a plate in her front right leg,

but she’s completely recovered and runs around like a looney!

Dushka

DUSHKA NEEDS A HOME !!

Hi everyone my name is Dushka, I’m 16 weeks old staffy x.

I’m lucky to be alive, at 12 weeks of age I had been in the pound up north for 7 days and was due to be put to sleep. what was my crime you may ask? nothing is the answer, only that I’m a staffy and had been in the pound for 7 days and like all dogs who have been in the pound if you haven’t been adopted your time is up! and you will be killed. Helen got a call from the pound to ask if she could take me and thank god Angela and her family had room for me, so I now live with 2 cocker spaniels and 1 Springer spaniel, and 3 humans. my picture will show you how beautiful I am but only by meeting me will you see how special I am. I love people, but sometimes grumble at dogs when I meet them for the first time. I’m only a baby just getting to know what the world is about, so please give me a chance. I’m safe here with dawgdogs and my foster family but would love my new family to come forward. yes my foster family love me, but they cant keep me. so please come forwards and let me know that humans are kind and this isn’t just a dream I’m living in .
with love DUSHKA.

Peppa, Maddie, Emmie, Nippa and Buster

progress update: 1st Mar 10

BUSTER NEEDS A

HOME !!!

Buster is 6 months old , he is a quiet, gentle chap who loves playing with our other dogs, and going out for his walks.

He has settled happily into his foster home, he loves lots of cuddles, and is no trouble.

He does get nervous when people visit, and when visiting or walked in busier places, but this is improving.

Maddie, Emmie, Nippa and Peppa have now found homes !!!

All pups  are doing well and all growing in confidence, they are all such characters.

Buster is getting very confident and comes for a cuddle now, he likes comfort and makes himself very at home.  However not keen on going  walkies on the lead, but walks back home very fast and happily.

Nippa is also very confident and loves his cuddles, he is very nosey and likes to know what is going on,  he is starting to enjoy his walks.

Emmie bless her is still trying very hard to trust us, but we are making progress.  She is  very bright, and happy to have her cuddles now. However going on the lead is a great trauma for her, so we have abanded walkies for a now.

They all love playing chase in the garden with Meg and are having great fun in the snow.
They are happy to go in and out of their crate , and  getting used to clicker training  they sit,  go down and go to bed when asked, just starting on the leave command.

PEPPA, NIPPER, EMMIE AND BUSTER NEED

HOMES !!!

Maddie has now found a home !!!

progress update from Carol and Steve: 5th Dec 09
Hi Helen

We are getting more confident every day, but are still nervous when we come out of our bed,
but we are getting used to it, and we are not worried about all the different noises.
We eat all our food up, we sit and go down for our special treats and we are excellent at night.
The best thing is playing with our toys and new friend Meg, thats really exciting.
We are no trouble we just need lots of time, patience and cuddles.

Brown one is a girl and she is called Emmie,black ones are boys called Nipper and Buster.
They are coming on well but the girl is still nervous and will need more time to settle before going to a home.

progress update on Peppa and Maddie from Nicky and Kevin: 28th Nov 09

Hi Helen,
It has been over a week since two terrified pups and a very scared young Milly arrived at our house.
They spent the first four days hiding and cowering in any corner they could find but now they are getting into being normal, happy puppies
They have been playing the brick game and have mastered collecting all the food treats .
Peppa with the distinctive patterened nose is so gentle and loving she is completely clean.
We have only had one accident from Peppa she is gorgeous but still needs some tlc .
Maddie is still nervous she is still working on trusting us completely,
she also has a lovely nature and loves playing with the other dogs.
Millie has come on in leaps and bounds and has been a joy to have.
Millie has loved her walks and loves a cuddle she is still very scared of noises and the lead,
she loves playing with our Izzie .

Four of the five 12 week old Collie mix pups

Their history:
In the spring of 2009 a quiet, shy Collie dog wandered through the fields adjacent to an 81 year old lady’s house.
She began leaving some food near her house for the dog, who would come and feed in the late night. After a number of months the dog became confident enough for human contact.
It was then that she realised that she had to trust as she had a litter of pups that needed more food than she could provide herself. It was over another month before she arrived with her five “Forest Puppies”. Eileen the 81 year old has continued to look after the puppies up to the time they were collected and brought over from Ireland to the Rescue.

However they have grown fast and are coming on well in their foster home.
The puppies mother has been named Sitka as in Sitka Spruce after the trees in the forest where she gave birth and cared for her young for 2-3 months. Sitka has remained with Eileen and they will care for each other.

Rusty (a.k.a Miss Piggy)

RUSTY NEEDS A HOME !!!

Rusty is a short legged JRT.

She arrived from Ireland last week having gone into doggy foster care after the death of her elderly owner.
She is about 3 years old and still very nervous but gaining in confidence every day.

She is very playful and will spend ages playing with a ball on her own
but she also loves walks and can run incredibly fast despite her little legs.
She is good at night and sleeps in her basket downstairs.

She is very clean and eats well, hence her nickname is Miss Piggy.  She tolerates her foster brother, but  would probably prefer to be an only dog and not have children to compete with for attention!

These three gorgeous pups arrived on Saturday and have already made themselves at home.

They are very outgoing and confident, and love playing with our dogs and grandchildren.

They are just furry bundles of fun, and love there food and lots of cuddles.

Fizzy

FIZZY NEEDS A HOME !!

progress update from Jackie: 23rd Feb 10

Fizzy is a Jack Russell about 3 years old and was born with an undeveloped left front leg.
This doesn’t stop him from being mobile, he can get in and out of the cat flap and at the end of a circuit of our local park still had enough energy to try and run away!!

He is a very friendly dog and his tail didn’t stop wagging for about 2 hours after we had picked him up. Fizzy and our dog Basil get on fine with both tails wagging when first meeting.
He would make a lovely dog for an older household who perhaps aren’t able to go on long walks.
