saving DAWGdogs since 1987
Just had a great walk with new foster dog Frank and his pack up on Canford heath,
he was so good I let him have some off lead time to stretch his little legs and he did running and playing and came back when asked,
unless he was sniffing then we had to wait for him lol..
super fun dog,
good with other dogs on and off his lead.
REHOMED !!

Think you would like to know. All OK with Oscar.
Can not believe how well he has fitted in.
So well you would think he has been here all the time.
Have been able to brush him every day with out any fuss.
In fact he likes it. Want to keep it that way.
So rather than me, have Vet recommended lady come so he can be groomed and washed ,which he needs.
She knows situation he could be nasty, hopefully not.
So keep your fingers crossed for me next Tuesday.
He is a great little dog, and think it is correct to say he likes me and I like him.
All the best for new year
Brian.

Tilly Mae arrives at the Christie household….
I moved in lock, bed and kibble with Bengy on the 2nd May 2014. Popsy Andrew picked me up and the first thing we did was go for this humongous walk. I did not go back to Auntie Yvonne’s again. Eight weeks tomorrow I will have been here. I think they are getting used to me. Bengy is so laid back, and so easy to get one over on….well most of the time. I have to learn to share things with Bengy, Can’t help it but everything is so good that I just want it for myself. I have learnt to sit and wait for my food and not rush for it, Mops helps by putting it in a ‘go slow’ dish – managed to get it down to 3 minutes to devour 1 minute is licking the dish very clean. I don’t have kibble now, one sniff of what Bengy was eating and I was a transformed dog. My sore neck has cleared up, my fur is all grown back and my weight has gone up too. I have learnt to wait at the gate for mops to walk through first, Bengy does this so I copied him. Also, I lay down with Bengy when Mops is ‘diddlin’ in the kitchen. I walk nicely on my harness, but the thrill is when we go for walks, I just run and run and run…….and all the walks are different. Flat, hilly, with water holes, without. But I do object to being washed when I have just got smelling how I want to smell. My recall is somewhat sketchy. Mops just lets me know where she is and I look in occasionally but I have realised that it is better for me (treat better) if I return when she calls, normally for a good reason. I have met horses, and made so may doggy friends especially DAWGdog Tara (aka Nell) and Bilbo. I have lovely ball games, in and out the house. And I get the ‘bestest’ cuddles from Andrew Popsy and Mopsy. I have a bed I can lay out in all night, but am allowed a morning cuddle on the ‘Supremist of all beds’. Also, we have this huge sofa that Bengy and I and any other visiting dog or human shares. Bengy and I are also learning not to put the fear of God up the postmen, we only want say hello…..And then there is a bit of ‘over the fence’ communication with DAWGdogs Ozzie and Taylor and more recently Bear. All in all, I reckon I have ended up in a happy place…..I feel loved and I know that I tell them often I love them, and Bengy and I are friends

Tilly is the dog in the background.
Tilly is settling in beautifully.
She started puppy classes yesterday, she was a bit distracted but not surprising for a terrier but she is getting it slowly.
Alfie is a wonderful big brother and helps to keep her in line when she gets a bit OTT with my grandson &
in the car (she has her own little seat belt);
he is brilliant with her and fabulous company for her (and me of course).
They are both a lovely addition to my family.
They are currently snoozing following a mad dash play session.
Thanks x
We’ve only had Philly for a day but she is adorable.
She’s very playful for short periods and then has a nap to recharge her batteries.
She has met our cat who doesn’t know what to make of Philly.
Philly likes barking at her but that’s just to get her attention.
She sleeps in her crate at night and although she barks for a couple of minutes she soon settles down.
Philly is the sister to Tana both four months old.
Probably mixtures with a bit of terrier in them , they won’t be large dogs.
They get on with cats.

Freddie has been with us now for 12 weeks and has settled in really well.
He loves his walks in the forest every day running and playing with our other dog Belle.
He does have a habit of eating horses pooh and loves rolling in foxes pooh because of this he is a frequent visitor to the bathroom were he enjoys a shower!
He loves nothing more than cuddling up on the sofa with us and loves to watch telly.
We all agree that we would not be without him now
Scooby doing his stint at Pets at Home on Saturday,
thanks to everyone kind enough to purchase raffle tickets x

Scooby will be busy selling raffle tickets at Pets at Home, Branksome today.
Please pop in and say hello!
Hi Helen just a quick update on our new foster Scooby, when he arrived he was a little bit anxious but
he soon made himself at home and is now a very settled little chap, he loves the other dogs and spends
most of his day pottering around the garden with them.
Scooby is a very busy little dog so will require quite an active home where he can burn off his Terrier energy, he is always up for a game and is happy to share his toys, he has a very sweet nature and will take any cuddles on offer.
Scooby has been good as gold at night quiet and clean in his crate, he travels well in the car, loves his walks is very social with other dogs, in fact he really is a smashing little boy, who would bring great fun to some very lucky people.
regards
Niki
Scooby is looking for a home.
He has just arrived at the rescue through no fault of his own.
Scooby is a 10 month old Jack Russell x Border Terrier, neutered and is good with other dogs and children

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

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.
Niki
New arrival Titch is a 10 year old neutered Male Jack Russell,
he has come to the rescue through no fault of his own,

Ben is about 4 to 5 years old.
He gets on well with other dogs and loves people but does need a little more socialisation when meeting other dogs.
