Cwmbran the Kelpie

NOW REHOMED

progress update: 9/11/12

Hi Helen,
Congratulations on your award – it’s so well deserved.
Have enclosed picture of our lovely boy.
He has been back to Wales this year on holiday and walked up Snowdon.
He’s also been to the Peak District and the Forest of Dean and many other places too.
He has fitted in so well with us.
Yours,
Sue and Jeff Light

Hi Helen and Heleanor,

Thought I’d give you a belated update on Cwmbran.

He’s settled in really well with us and especially loves our grandchildren.
His coat is now really soft and shiny – have never known a dog moult as much as he did when he first arrived. He really enjoys his walks – 6 miles in the morning and 3 or 4 in the afternoon, and he’s great with other dogs. Our 10 year old collie adores him although he is so laid back – our daughter says he’s on prozac! – that we’re not sure he feels the same about her.
They do sleep together though.

As you told me Heleanor he’s car mad but we have to travel with him on the floor as he gets very anxious about traffic and pants excessively – we’re considering getting a soft travel crate.
Despite being so laid-back at home when we’re out he charges about like a whirling dervish.

We hope he’s as happy with us as we are with him.
Wishing you both a Merry Christmas,

Sue and Jeff Light

Cwmbran has now found a home !!

progress update from Cwmbran’s fosterer Heleanor: 24/7/11

Just to say Cwmbran has settled in beautifully.
Great in the house and car, walks well on a lead a very loving boy.
Learning to leave the cats alone but very respectful of my girls.
His name means valley of the crows.

Heleanor

Cwmbran is a 7 year old Kelpie who came into the rescue as a result of a marriage break up.
He has lived with five other dogs and children.
Helen would keep him if she could as he is well mannered, quiet and gentle.

Chico

Chico has now gone home !!

Chico’s original family missed him and asked if they could have him back, so he has gone back to them today.

Hi Helen,

attached are some photo’s of Chicco. He is a good dog and after a little wondering and crying, has settled down with my two boys, Zak 5 and Aden 3. We took him for a short walk with Maddie and is very good on the lead.

Will update again soon.

Bye for now, Kim x

Chico is a Lhaso Apso , 11 years old but you would never believe it he looks and acts much younger than his years.
Chico has come from a home that loved him very much but he couldn’t cope with the new baby and was a bit stressed at less attention then he was used to.
He gets on very well with other dogs and as can be seen from the photos his foster familys’ children.
He loves lots of attention and cuddles.

Daisy and Jess (a.k.a Chantelle, a.k.a Ethel )

BOTH NOW REHOMED
progress update on Chantelle [now Jess]: 3/11/12

Hi Helen and Pat
Some photos of Jess for you.
Not sure if they’re any good for the website but at least you can see she’s ok and doing well!
She’s going for a wash and brush up on Monday so treat these as the ‘before’ photos and I’ll send you ‘after’ photos later on!
Please let us know if you’re ever in the area as we’d love you to drop in for a cuppa and see how Jess is getting on.
Kind regards
Sue

Daisy and Chantelle have now both found homes !!

Lilly

REHOMED

progress update: 28/10/12

Hi Helen,
Just to let you know Lily is doing very well.
She is already 95% potty trained and understands the ‘ask to go out’ quite well now.
We have just had an amazing session with our grandaughter Chloe.
Lily bonded with her immediately and absolutely loved her chasing with the ball.
Even better Lily allowed her to take the ball from her mouth!
She has been introduced to the fields and woods and the local fallow deer who are very curious of the new arrival.

Lassie ( a.k.a 10 ton Lassie )

progress update: 17/10/12

Lassie has now found a home !!

progress update: 21/7/12
Lassie is still looking for a home.
Lassie is a lovely character excellent with small children, about the size of a larger Sheltie of which she is a mixture of.
Lassie was homed by us seven years ago when she was just one years old and for those of you not good at maths that makes her eight years old. She has come back into the rescue because her owner has become ill. Unfortunately, she was never trained out of her Collie instincts of liking to chase and round up cars and still likes to round them up. With patience and time or someone who walks where no cars are driving around in an untidy manner she will be a perfect companion.
Lassie has been in kennels for the last few weeks as we had no space in any of our foster homes.
This week the kennels where we have been boarding her are full up and we need to find her a space for her sleeping bag, alarm clock etc by Tuesday.

Lassie is 8 years old and a Sheltie type cross, she is excellent with young children.
Unfortunately due to illness in her previous home she has been returned to us.
Lassie walks well on the lead but is strong and she is very good off the lead.
She has eaten a few too many pies and needs to lose some weight.

If you may be able to offer a home
or would like more details

please contact Helen directly on:

Jack and Lil

REHOMED

progress update on Lil: 16/10/12

Hi Helen, just a quickie to let you see how Lil is doing (of Jack & Lil).
I’ve had her 2 years now and can’t imagine life before Lil.
Always keep an eye on your website – you and your team do amazing work – wish I could adopt another but would have to meet with Lil’s approval!

progress update on Lil: 9/10/11

Hi Helen, we have had Lil with us for a year today so I thought you might like to see how she is.
Can’t imagine life without her now!

Jack has now found a home,

Lil still wants a home !!

progress update 15/8/10

Our names are Jack and Lil and we are two Jack Russell puppies looking for permanent loving homes.
At the moment we are fostering with Ozzie and his humans.
We are 9 months old, fully vaccinated and will be neutered.
Jane thinks we are really lovely and even Jonathan (who pretends he doesn’t like little dogs) says he has to admit we are very sweet!
It would be nice to go to a home together but we realise this may not be possible.
We have been at Ozzies house just over a week now and Jane has let us off our leads on a walk for a good run round.
We love this and do come back when she calls us.
If we don’t, Ozzie rounds us up like a sheep dog!!
We are not sheep and can’t understand why he thinks we are!
We are clean in the house and friendly with other dogs.
Please consider giving us a home and if you think you can, ring Helen at the rescue 01202 380467

Jack and Lil are 9 month old terrier puppies who are very friendly and like other dogs too.
