Hello everyone, Lucky here,to say I think I’m staying here in Ireland after all.
I’m quite an old lady,& my back legs still aren’t great, & I’ve settled in so well here, that Helen & my foster mum think it would be best if I stayed over here.
Thank you ever so much everyone for offering me a home, you are all soooo lovely,but I’m really not up to moving on again,she has bought me a memory foam bed, & I sleep by the fire at night now.

This is Lucky, she is like a dwarf collie, about the size of a corgi, with little dumpy legs, she looks a bit of a mess at the moment, but she’s having a major make over, & a bath, next week, & the bare patch on her back is growing hair again,

Poor dog has had nine years solitary confinement tied in a dark shed, & still has a scar round her neck from the rope as a momento., she’s extremely quiet, & just wants to be near you for reassurance & a rub, bless her my heart went out to her to think she woke every morning knowing she was just going to have to stand all day in that shed.

Pepi has now found a home !!

Pepi is a 3 year old neutered male Toy Poodle.
He really is a male despite the pretty pink dress!!
He is pictured at a fashion show in Petstop where he was the only dog slim enough to model the dress – poor fella although he just loved all the attention he was getting.
He’s a good natured, friendly, loveable little dog who likes nothing more than to curl up on someone’s lap.
He is a super pet and is non-shedding.
This does mean that he has to be clipped every 6-8 weeks

Murphy has now found a home !!

progress update: 26/11/11

Murphy has grown up so much since coming here to foster, he is now clean in the house, he is confident and happy
when out, happy to meet and greet most dogs, he can still be a little unsure if a bigger dog comes along, but mostly
hes just gets on with his walk and plays with the girls or chases the ball.

In the house hes happy to be crated at night or when i go out, he does not chew, but he may pinch things when your
not looking, saying that hes always happy to give it up after a short chase, hes is very good with toys, food no possessive
behaviour at all, and most importantly he is fantastic with the kids, he absolutley worships my daughter who is 9 and will
do anything for a cuddle with her, he really is adorable we all love him and feel he would make a lovely addition to any family.

regards
Niki

Hi, I am Murphy and I arrived with my brother Mickey.
We have lived on a farm where we pretty much pleased ourselves as to how we spent our days.
We are 7 months old, get on very well with other dogs and love all humans.
I am bunking in at the rescue with Seamus a Terrible Terrier as Mark calls them.
I haven’t yet learnt the rules of the dog room which state that blankets must not be thrown on the floor and chewed but I am learning that this extracts a “No ” from Helen.
Today I buried myself under one and was chewing it from behind I didn’t think she could see what I was doing.

Murphy has now found a home !!

Asha has now found a home !!

progress update: 4/12/11

Hi Helen,

We have had Asha for over two weeks now, but it feels like we have had her for ages.
Asha really has settled in very well with us, she is so gentle with our little girl, Naomi, who is nearly 2 years old.
She is such a well behaved girly and travels very well in my car; which has meant we go on a lot of adventures to lots of different places.
She is a great running companion for my husband and I which means she is keeping us all fit.
We spend hours kicking a football for her as that is her absolute favorite thing to do, she also loves squeaky soft toys for indoors.
We are pleased to say that Asha isn’t the only DAWG dog in our family now.
On Friday we all welcomed Ollie into my sister-in-law’s home, Asha and Ollie both liked running round the garden after balls together.
I am looking forward to years of love and fun with this lovely doggie of ours!!
Thank you so much to everyone at DAWG dogs for all you do.
You are all so wonderful.

Thanks again for everything,
From Tanya, Dave, Naomi, Asha the Doggie and Cassie the cat

Winston has now found a home !!

Just some pictures to show you how the lovely Winstons coat is starting to regrow on his face,
he had a lovely time today in the sun out at Matchams forest so a few pictures of him enjoying himself.

Hi, I am still here at the Rescue.
I was in a terrible state when I arrived my coat was so badly matted that I didn’t look like a West Highland Terrier and my skin was sore.
I have had a hair cut and treatment from my Doctor and now I look like a different dog.
My hair is growing back and my skin is loads better.
I don’t mind children but like them better when they are above 9 years old.
I love small furry creatures but only to chase them so I guess I had better limit myself to a home without a cat or small furries.

Winston is a lovely fella , but all terrier , such a cheecky fella.
He travels well in the car, is clean indoors, sleeps either in his crate or in the kitchen. He is not good with small furries.
But meets and greats the dogs we meet each on our walks.
His undercoat is begining to grow back.
He is a good watch dog often hearing people at the door before my girls do.

progress update: 5/11/11

It is recommended that Winston does not go with small furries or children under 7,
he has improved with the cats that he is being fostered with but its still work in progress

Hi
Just an update on the lovely Winston, he has settled in very well, learning to sit and wait for his food, eating alongside my girls too without panicking that they will eat his.
His skin looks better every day and I am sure his undercoat is starting to come through.
He is a lovely fella who loves his walks, travels well in the car.
Is a fantastic little watch dog, not barking all the time only when needed.
Sleeps all night either in his crate or in the kitchen without a peep.

Hi
As promised the photos of this lovely fella after he had been to see Sarah for a make over, boy did he need it.
Despite this he was a sweetie standing while he was brushed and trimmed so he can look his best for a new forever home.
He is a real terrier ,despite the fact he is only little he has a big attitude loves his food and enjoying investigating all the new sights and smells.
He is clean at home, sleeps in his crate, good in the car and walks well on a lead.

Hi
Just an update on the little Westie, he is a sweet little man in need of a lot of tlc.
He has no undercoat on his body or on a lot of his face.
The matts on his body , tail and head I have cut off.
He has had a bath so he is a lot less fragrant, this was not something he enjoyed but was good anyway.
He walks well on the lead and has met quite a few dogs without a problem.
He travels well in the car. But is not good at all with the cats , chickens , rabbits and guinea pigs .
He is going to cute paws to have a hair cut so will send you some photos after.
