Jodie has now been rehomed !!

progress update from Daryl: 19th Oct 09
Jodie is a bouncy lively girl.
She has settled down really well at Jane’s.
She has obviously had some basic training and does respond well to commands.
She seems to like other dogs but needs to learn to control her enthusiasm!
She is a very lovely affectionate girl, another one I would take home with me if I could.
Whoever rehomes Jodie will get a very nice natured loyal dog.

jodie settling well. very affectionate, has calmed down.
learning to retrieve but short concentration span.
good on lead, seems to like other dogs.

My name is Jodie and I am a mix up of all sorts of dogs.
I was in a pound and my time was up on the Monday when luckily for me the Rescue arranged with Caroline who helps us pound dogs to transport me to DAWGdogs.
A few days before I was due to go I had puppies which was a shock to me too,
I was very stressed with all the noise in the pound and didn’t know what to do with the pups and they died.
Ann who looked after me on my arrival into the Rescue tried her best to save them but couldn’t and gave me a toy rabbit to love instead.
I carry this rabbit around with me.
Daryl who picked me up from Ann’s and took me to Jane my new foster mum said I am a lively girl.
I like other dogs and would love a home where I can settle down as my life before has been a hard one.

Marley has now found a home !!

progress update: 20th Oct 09

Marley will be going to his new home on Thursday !!

progress update: 8th Oct 09

Marley is such a lovely happy little boy. I can’t comprehend the decision to put him to sleep.
Thank goodness the team at Ark Aid intervened & got in contact with Helen!
He has shown no bad behaviour or aggression what so ever. He doesn’t even bark at our neighbour’s cat.
The cat now thinks he’s a mouse and has tried approaching him as if he was prey!
He is clean in the house, he eats well and loves lots of fuss and cuddles.
He spends most of his day snoozing on his back, on the sofa, as close as he can get to me.
He lets me know when the laptop has had too much of my attention and forcefully shoves his little head under my arm.
He sleeps in the crate at night although I think he would prefer to be on the bed.
He squeaks for a bit but then settles and is quiet for the night. He is very excited to be let out in the morning.
I believe his previous home may have been a bit chaotic and confusing for him.
He is now thriving in a quiet home, with no young children or pets, where he gets lots of positive attention.
On walks he is friendly and playful towards other dogs.
Passers by comment on how sweet he is and what a beautiful coat and markings he has.
He is a bit clingy, he squeaks when I go to have a shower.
I am going to have to start leaving him for short periods (in the crate for security & with the radio on) and gradually increase the time I’m away.
He has some good manners suggesting someone has taken time to train him.
He knows not to charge out of the door before me at the beginning of a walk.
He sits nicely for his dinner and waits for instruction to eat.
I can put my hand in the bowl of food and he doesn’t get funny. He hasn’t been fussed about toys either.
We thought about keeping him ourselves but I will have to return to work and he would, on occasions, be left on his own for a 3-4 hours.
I think he’d prefer to be a very loving companion to someone who doesn’t have to leave him on a regular basis.

Marley was going to be put to sleep but the staff at Ark Aid Vets in Southbourne stepped in and phoned us to see if we could take him, they said he was too nice a dog to be put to sleep.

If you can provide a good home please contact Helen

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.

Hi Helen
Kissie is a very sweet little girl and I’m sure will make someone a very loyal loving dog.
Today we went to Hengistbury Head and on the way back I let her off the lead for the first time.
Tomorrow we are off to the New Forest to see the ponies!

Speak soon
Jane and Ozzie

Kizzie is a 2 year old mixture

Jack has now been re-homed !!

progress update from Jane: 13th May 09

My name is Jack and I’m a Westie Cross looking for a loving home.
I came to Helen’s from Ireland because my owner died.
At the moment I’m being fostered by Jane and Ozzie but I know I cannot stay here forever.
Ozzie tells me that there are lots of kind people who will love me.
I think I am about 6 years so I know how to behave.
Occasionally I do bark when I am excited about going on a walk but
apart from that I am quiet about the house.
I never make a sound at night and only wake when Jane does. Ozzie says that’s a good thing!!
Jane and Ozzie meet lots of different people with their dogs for walks
and I am very sociable. I like to say hello to other dogs and have a
sniff but I go back to Jane when she calls me.
Today we went to the New Forest where there were lots of ponies and their babies but even
the babies were bigger than me so I just ignored them.
Everybody says I’m very pretty although I would prefer it if they said handsome!
Cute is acceptable!!

Hi Helen

A few pictures for the website – Jack has just had a bath and looks gorgeous!
He’s a sweet natured little lad, very well behaved and just gets on with it all!
He discovered Harry Potter, the rabbit,
yesterday and had a good chase around the garden but nothing more!
Harry has a very good hiding place where no dog can get, no matter how
small they think they are!!
He’s very friendly with other dogs and gets on well with Ozzie.
Jack is good on the lead (a dog that doesn’t pull, not had one of those before!!).
We have let him off the lead and he comes to call.
All in all, a smashing little fella.

Speak soon

Mungo has now found a home !!

This is Mungo, a 2 year old collie mix that is fostering with Ann.
He has been kept in a barrel in a shed for the last two years.
He is timid but getting used to having freedom to move freely and getting to know the dogs at Ann’s house.
Ann is giving him space and time to find his feet.

Chloe has found a home !!

progress update: 4th Sep 09

Jack has found a home !!

progress update on Chloe from her fosterers Colin & Angela: 2nd Sep 09

Hi Helen .
Chloe is the sweetest pup going she is EVERYTHING you
would want in a pup .
She is crate trained at night and if I go out in the day
she will complain for about 5mins then just settle down and go for her
sleep ,Chloe will cry to get let out in the night if she needs the
toilet.
She is 75/80 percent clean in the day , she will sit
when asked before she has her food, she couldn’t care less if any of
my other dogs eat from her bowl with her and
she takes her treats so gently from you.

Chloe LOVES her cuddles whether it be with one of our
other dogs or one of us humans. Chloe plays plays plays then goes for
her sleep she is the easiest pup I’ve ever had in all the years I’ve
been fostering .

Chloe is now 11 weeks old and her forever home is
missing out on so much of this fun time when pups are finding out who
they are and all the mischief they get up to until they know what is
right and wrong.

AND believe me she makes us laugh every day with her antics !

–

Two young  Staffy  pups.

One is a brindle boy and the other is a red girl.

Very well socialised since birth with
adults and children and since arriving at the rescue to stay with ann
on her smallholding now also socialised with other dogs
and chickens, horses, a pig and turkeys!
