Bruce, Rolf and Harris have now all found new homes !!

Hi Helen.
I thought it was time to do an update on Harris .
what can I say about this handsome little man other than
he is scrumptious truly scrumptious.
if you are looking for a dog who loves his play time
loves his food and especially loves his cuddles then this is the guy
for you.
Harris has come out of himself since his brothers have
found there new homes
he is inquisitive well socialized with my other dogs
hasn’t got a bad bone in him and knows when to be submissive  and mind
his manners with my other dogs
Harris is very much the baby in the group even though we
have paddy 14 week old collie x as well
if all the dogs get up to something naughty its always
Harris who seems to get caught in the act just like kids, the older
ones seem to think he wont get told off as much, as he is the little
one and mum will just give in with a little telling off.
I really believe that Harris would make a very good
companion and would be the most loyal of dogs.
Harris is trying his best to be house trained but he
still has some misshapes.
he will sit very nicely for his food and shows no
problems at all if you take things away from him.
the person who gets Harris will be very very lucky .
from what I’ve written about him I think you will see he
has a place in my heart. He is not the brightest of Kelpies but
defiantly one of the friendliest and most loving of pups

Bruce and Rolf have now found homes !!

Hi Helen.
Not to a bad night with the pups once they played until 1ish and then we all went to bed.
They were clean overnight got up at 6am.
The biggest pup [Bruce] is a bit of a bully so we will try and sort that out
He really does pick on one of the little ones .
We then have mouth almighty [Rolf], he will growl and bark and answer you back.
Then we have the quiet guy who is the smallest of the three and the one who gets picked on [Harris]
They love playing in the garden and were very good getting their bath.
They found all the outside toys and played tag with them running up and down the garden which was great to watch
Just to remind you we have named them Bruce, Rolf, Harris – we went with the Australian theme!
Angela

Bruce, Rolf and Harris are kelpies ( Australian cattle dogs )

If you can provide a good home please contact Helen

on 01202 380467 or email helen@dawgdogs.net

We usually only rehome within approx 30miles of the Bournemouth / Poole area
so that we can ensure the continued well-being of the dogs in our care.
We will only re-home further afield 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 rescue.

I have gone to live with John and Jill Williams, two Lurcher boys and various cats of ages ranging from 2 to 23 years of age some of who are crippled or blind.
I am now called Toby I really like it here and like to follow John to the toilet offering to help with his daily abolutions. He is not keen on my help. I have learnt to open doors which is nothing for a dog of my intelligence not that I am boasting of course !!!! Recently I locked John and Jill out of the house , John and Jill had gone out to the car and put the door on the latch I wanted to follow them to see if they were behaving and pushed the lock up and locked them out. Luckily a builder was working next door and took the lock out of the door so they could get in which was a shame as I was raiding the kitchen bin when he came in and the cats were waiting for any bits that I threw them.

Well as you can tell I love them all very much and have got my feet under the table here.

Dustos has now been rehomed !!

progress update 15/8/10

Well, my third day here and I getting the hang of Englizh very quick. I already know my name and come and Helen is teach me to sit. I love my cosy bed and Mutley has let me in the middle room where hiz bed is few times. I am loving the Englizh food and I am eat three times a day i have to put on kilos. It a bit wet here not like Greece where it hot. Lots of funny,new smelz and new girl arrive today whoze a name is Cara,she very attractive. Helen say because I street dog I have perfect manners with other dogs.
I off to sleep now so more of my excitement tomorrow. I learning Englizh from Radio 4 Helen say that they speaka the Queens Englizh and in calm voice.

Well I hava final arrived in Englisz after a veeery long time of waiting and lotta of help from some very spezial people.
It is all a bit how do you say- strange but the dog network in Greece is that homes in Englisz love dogs and we are how do say umm blood members.
I have met Mutley (who won’t let me into the middle room) Spike and Skippy but Helen says she will leave it a few days before I am introduced to Dooley an da Dexter, Dooley is a bit bossy at first and also has a continental flair to hiz character.
I am also supervized in the garden as I must admit I have been scanning the fences to see if I can a jump them. As my Englisz is not ver good I would not be able to tell a Polizeman I was lost.
They may think I had sneaked into the country and I wouldn’t be able to explain I have a passport like a real person.
I am having the trouble to understand what is being told to me but I sure that soon I will have a the hang of this Englisz.
I am ver tired so will a write more tomorrow.
I like Peter and hiz family who picked me a up from the airport and they having another Greek dog who explain a lotta to me.

progress update:

Dustos is Dusty ‘s new name as named by Griff who has just met him

Dusty is arriving here from Greece where he was left tied to a tree to die.

Getting him here has been a difficult task for Peter who paid for his trip out of his own pocket and for Andy and Heather who run a rescue in Crete.

Through their determined and hard effort he is now here and looking for a home.

Below are is an account of his trip and photos:

Hi Helen
Phase 1 of Dustys great journey has been successfully completed and he made the ferry trip from Pireaus near Ahens to Heraklion Crete where Andy and Heather met him
as you can see he loves all people and other dogs
Phase 2 to Gatwick is on Thursday and I will phone Thursday when we have picked him up to confirm when we will be back
as you can see he is an odd mix of Dalmation and Pointer I think and a bit bigger than I had thought
He has an incredible story and I hope you can find him a fantastic home for the rest of his life and I can keep in touch with his new owners in his forever home.
From tied to a tree in a remote mountain region of Greece and left to to starve to death and then to Parkstone is quite a journey and I wont tell you [ or Jane ] how much it has all cost but looking at these pictures it has all been worth it.
His story deserves the best ending ….and he that he lives happy ever after !
Talk soon
Regards
Peter

> Dusty had a quiet night and seems very happy his morning after a long and stressful day yesterday. He slept outside in the big dog house and never made a sound. He came with us for a walk this morning and did OK, not too bad on a lead but very very strong. Here are a few pics.

Sam has now been rehomed !!

This is Sam.
He is a 3 year old Border terrier cross Jackie.
He is a dear little dog, very bright and quick to learn.
100% with kids and other dogs, even if they have a pop he doesn’t retaliate.
He has been castrated, micro chipped and his jabs etc are up to date.

In his previous house, he hardly ever went for a walk.
He would pee around the house, escape from the garden so often he wasn’t allowed out unless on a lead, and bark almost constantly.
He was hit and kicked fairly regularly.

So far I haven’t had any pee, he goes in the garden whenever he feels like it as the back door is always open, and he has learnt the word ‘quiet’ when he does bark.
I have also taught him ‘sit’, ‘down’, and ‘wait’.
I think he’d be really good at agility.
He is walked daily on the Rec and I have had no real trouble with him at all.
He does chase off after other dogs, but he always comes back when called.

I think all he needs is some stability, some boundaries and lots of affection, he will make someone a cracking dog.
He’s really good fun.
