Rosie ( a.k.a Dudana )

REHOMED!

progress update: 03/03/2015

We have had Rosie for just over a year.
She came to us from Bulgaria having been taken into shelter with her mum & siblings, so coming into our home couldn’t have been more different to her previous life.
We’re not sure how old she is but think she’s about 4 years now.
I took her to basic training classes & she quickly learnt how to ‘sit’ etc. She really has settled into home life incredibly well & gained her confidence in day to day routines.
She follows me round everywhere, she’s very loving & she makes us laugh with her funny little ways grin emoticon We call her nosey Rosie, always poking her nose into something!
She seems to love standing on her 2 hind legs with us holding her front paws, perhaps she just loves dancing, haha!
Always grateful to Dawg for giving her a chance & bringing her to us

Nella

Nella has now found a home !!

Nella was in a dog pound and had done her 7 days as a stray.
Nella is a home body wanting nothing more than to be with you.
She has met a 7 year old child who she loved, has walked past cats and loves the company of other dogs.
This morning she went off the lead for the first time and came immediately when called – always a relief when I first take a chance and let a new dog off lead

Stig

Stig has now found a home !!

This is Stig ( what a great name ) he is the son of Fudge and a Beagle cross Spaniel.
Stig is four years old and once he has overcome his initial nervousness with new dogs is all wagging tail.
He is also good with children.
Stig needs to lose a few pounds and is on a diet much to his dismay……

Alabama Rot update

Latest update on Alabama Rot from Anderson Moores…
“29th January 2015 update
There have been six further confirmed cases of cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) over the past few weeks (Hampshire, Greater London, Dorset, Berkshire, Kent and East Sussex). An additional case treated at Anderson Moores was considered highly likely to have had CRGV and fortunately survived, meaning that a definitive diagnosis was not made (since this requires post mortem testing).
The Forestry Commission are no longer hosting a table with the exact geographical location of cases. At this stage we do not know for certain if there is an environmental trigger for CRGV. Indeed, if there is an environmental trigger we do not know when, in relation to the development of clinical signs, this occurs (e.g. environmental exposure could occur one day, one week, or one month before clinical signs develop). Any information posted about geographical location may therefore not be that relevant given dogs are often walked in different areas. Updates and further information will continue to be posted on this webpage with the broad geographical location of cases.”

Tiffany the lurcher

progress update: 01/02/2015

Tiffany has now found a home !!

A dazzling, blonde bombshell has arrived at the Rescue !
Pippin has take her to her straight away and Spike gave her the look over with his eyes ( made his old ticker beat faster )
Holly is doing her hair and make up so as to not be outdone by this stunner.

Tiiffany is three years old doesn’t wear fur coats apart from her own nor diamonds and doesn’t breakfast at a famous jewellers.
She is very good with young children and other dogs.
She is feeling a bit amiss having just been left here by her previous family. I am sure she will feel more settled by tomorrow.
In a little while a Poodle and a Poodle cross Pomeranian will be arriving so lots of fancy company for her.

I am sure Stephanie our DAWGdogs photographer will taking a full portfolio of photographs which will be better than this one.
