Mitch (a.k.a Titch)

Titch has now found a home !!

progress update: 30/4/13

We have had this splendid little dog for 2 weeks now,and he has settled so well and is dearly loved.
[Although not all that much by our dog at times]
They had their 1st game of ball together yesterday using 2 balls which went well,no jealousy at all.
He is off the lead in a safe environment [the beach] and is good on recall,especially if you say biscuit!
He really enjoys being out and about and loves everyone he meets .
Children love him,including my grandchildren ,he has such spirit.
We are having to get the balance right with our dog ,who has been used to a single dog existance and apart from a couple of incidents, due to a bit of thoughtlesness on our part all has been well.
More later ,
Best Wishes Barbara

progress update: 10/4/13

Hi Helen just a quick update on our latest Foster Titch now we have had him a few days,
since he arrived Titch has settled extremely well and has taken everything in his stride,
he absolutely loves everyone and his tail never stops wagging,
he travels well in the car really enjoys his walks and loves to meet everyone who comes our way,
whether it be 2 legged or 4 legged.
Titch is overweight but is far from lazy and with the right diet he will shift his excess weight in no time at all,
he is very enthusiastic about everything he does, he is great fun to have around,
and will bring a great amount of pleasure to whoever takes him on.

New arrival Titch is a 10 year old neutered Male Jack Russell,
he has come to the rescue through no fault of his own,
he is very young at heart and loves everyone,
he is good with other dogs and cats

Willow

Willow has now found a home !!

This is Willow a six month old soft coated , brindle Lurcher girl.
She gets on with dogs and children.

Willow had her first walk off lead today and met eight other dogs.
She was a little nervous of their bombastic ways at first but soon settled in and started to chase in that circle of dogs that dogs seem to like doing.

MYSTERY ILLNESS UPDATE

New Forest Dog Owners Group
MYSTERY ILLNESS UPDATE

Forest Vets at Fordingbridge have released the following statement on their website –
“We have received reports of another suspected case of acute kidney injury occuring within the last week. This case is from outside the Latchmore Brook/Ogdens area. Investigations are ongoing to see if it is related to the previous incidents, and we will keep you informed as we get further information. As previously, please be extra-vigilant with your pets.”

NFDOG understands that the dog concerned in this possible case of the mystery illness was walked solely around the Verelea/ Picket Post area, from Smugglers Road car park. We would urge you to be over cautious with your dogs at the current time and regularly check them for signs of lesions appearing anywhere on their body or them seeming off colour. If at all concerned, seek advice from your vet.

The Animal Health Trust have produced a questionnaire for people who have walked their dog in the Ogdens area of the forest to fill in, it is available here http://www.aht.org.uk/cms-xmodnewsrss_detail/QUESTIONNAIRE_TO_HELP_WITH_INVESTIGATION_INTO_NEW_FOREST_DOG_DEATHS.html
