Today Alfie has gone to his new home in Gillingham!

This is a Alfie,
Alfie is 18 months old and deaf, he has been trained to hand signals,

Having a deaf dog is not as difficult as people think but it always helps to have another companion dog that the deaf dog can take a cue from.

“Daisy was one of ten puppies from Ireland handed in,

she is a lovely dog and has settled in well”

“Just a quick update to let you know how Max one of the Irish pups is
getting on.

It wasnt as easy as we thought it would be, there was no
fighting but a little growling, however they are getting on fine now.
although Max does love Holly more than she loves him.

He is booked in for puppy classes this week and has had his second vaccination.

He never stops but he is a lovely dog who already sits and lies down and
he hasnt got a bad bone in him.

He has settled in well.

Thanks again for Max and we will keep you posted as he grows up
Thanks John and Hazel”

Jack has gone to live with Michelle near Wimborne.

He will have plenty of attention and company and lots of fields to run in!

Jack has settled in very well and is enjoying the country life.

He is a wonderful dog with a superb temperament and

I think I am very lucky to have him as my new friend.

Best Wishes
Michele

Tigger is now settling into his new home!

Tigger is a 12 week old terrier, he needs a home with another dog as he hates to be on his own.

He gets on with cats, the feral cat where he is fostered quickly taught him that chasing cats is not on.

As with any puppy he will need training and will soon be testing his new teeth out on the furniture.

Terriers are strong minded dogs and Tigger is very confident.

A spayed female collie approx 1yr

She loves nothing more in life than to sit as close as possible to you and spend hours being stroked.

She gets on with other dogs but is really a people person so
we are looking for a home where she can be the only dog and
have all the hugs to herself!

She is still timid with strangers and
takes a while to acquaint herself with new people.
As she has always been a country girl she is frightened of traffic
and it has to be said in her defence that cars are rather
noisy and smell!
She will need a kind, patient home where she can gain confidence.

She stayed with Claire this weekend to get her used to different people
and she was taken for long walks on the beach.

In Sweeney’s description we said that we felt she would be
better as an only dog because she likes all the cuddles.
But now that Sweeney has setled down and become used to being part of
a pack, we think that she would be fine with another dog.
She loves to play and chase the other dogs when on walks.

Her mother told her when young that all good Collies race ahead and crouch down
ready for the next movement and Sweeney has heeded her mother’s advice!

Sweeney is another dog that would be good for agility or flyball with
extra training.

Sweeney is now settling in to her new home!

Cecil arrived with a neck wound caused by the dog he used to live with.

Cecil has gone to his new home, his neck wound cleared up well.

Claire who helps walking the dogs took him home to foster him last weekend
and over the weekend managed to get the last of the matted hair away
from his wound.

When he came back to the rescue on Sunday eve the wound was clear and clean.

After a check by the vet we felt he was ready to go to his new life.

Cecil has settled well into his new home.
