saving DAWGdogs since 1987
My name is Snoopy and I am a Pomeranian.
I travelled very well in the car back to Helen’s house and get on with the other dogs.
I am a little tired for photo shoots after my long journey so photos of me will be up on the website soon. I am more interested in eating my breakfast and having a bit of a sleep for now.
I will let you know in a few days time how I am getting on.

Gareth as I have called him now as I read his name wrong.
He is settling in really well and learning house rules really well.
He loves company especially my 4yr old niece who he follows around all over the place.
Gareth walks well on the lead and his recall off the lead is coming along nicely.
He is very energetic and would love an active family.
He mixes well with other dogs but needs a bit more socialisation with entire males as he seems nervous of them.
Gareth is a beautiful boy who just wants a loving home.
My name is Gareh, I am a Collie mix and I get on with other dogs.
I have just made the long journey from Ireland and am now eating breakfast and about to have a bit of a catch up with sleep here at Fran’s house.

I will update you once I have settled in to my foster home.

DASTARDLY MESSAGE FROM MUTLEY AND SPIKE ————-
Word around the Rescue is that Helen likes Skippy so much that she is thinking of keeping her for herself…..! It isn’t often that we agree with each other on anything, but we are both in no doubt that this is A Very Bad Thing for our future Bonio rations !!!!!
Please help us to find Skippy a new home…QUICKLY !!! Yours desperately worriedly Mutley and Spike
P.S Er.. better not say anything to Helen that we’ve said any of this, or else we’ll have no Bonios for misusing the website… She’s out at the moment so she’ll not be happy if she gets back to find this. Hopefully we can have Skippy safely rehomed before she gets back…
What a bind to be in!

Hi, I had a bath today and now smell much nicer. It wasn’t too bad and I did feel less itchy afterwards. Here is a photo of me on the towel drying myself.
On Thurs Helen took me to a lovely house which to my surprise turned out to be Graham of Afrivets surgery.
I would never of known if he hadn’t been there.
There was even a garden for me to play in if I felt nervous.
Graham likes the animals to feel like they are in a house which is less scary than the Doctors I felt completely at home and watched pigeons on the fence whilst he examined me.
Graham said I was a real sweetie and Helen thinks this too.
I liked Graham very much even when he gave me an injection because he gave me a treat straight after.
Helen said that if someone doesn’t offer me a home soon she may end up with another dog. Mutley and Spike rolled their eyes, they have heard all this before.
I went out with The Ball Throwing Gang today, Dooley, Spike and Fudge are The Ball Throwing Gang.
Fudge is Helen’s boss’s dog and on the days she works we all walk together.
Mutley isn’t usually allowed out with this gang as he becomes obsessive over the ball and spoils the games but today he was allowed along as we were going to the field.
The Ball Throwing Gang become The Swimming Gang on the days we go to the field because they all swim in the river. You can see me in the river doing a Otter impression.
Dooley told me all this so I understood the routines.
He said to remember to always let him get the ball.
Unfortunately Mutley did spoil the game and wouldn’t let anyone else have the ball, I am not sure what Dooley thought of this change of rules but I noticed he didn’t grumble at Mutley as he would of at the rest of us.
Helen said ” Well, that’s it then Mutley has the ball now so we may as well walk around the field”.
Helen said she knew I would be good off the lead as I am a star dog.
I think she is in love with me, I am very good, I always sleep quietly at night,do my business outside and mind my P’s and Q’s with the other dogs.
Hi, I am Skippy and I have just arrived into the rescue today because my family didn’t want me anymore.
It is not bad here and I like Helen who I follow everywhere.
Mutley is not too keen on this and told me to get back in the kitchen, I sneaked around him and am now sitting at Helen’s feet endearing myself to her.
I am not keen on young children they are a bit squealy and run about too much.
I need a bit of TLC which I think I may get here, not too keen on the bath idea though !!

Hello Helen.
You may remember that I homed Molly (Amber) last year.
She has settled down well now-but is far more sociable with other dogs than with humans!
As a family, we have a mixture of 5 JRTs , who all visit often and Molly is always delighted to see them.
I would love to take on another one, and perhaps start looking next year
But for now…..here she is, watching Animal magic on TV,
and down on the beach-where she is happiest, and finishing off my yoghurt!.

Hello Helen! …
Thought you would like to see this picture of AMBER… (now known as Molly) who came to live with me in January……..she was quite skinny when she arrived but now the vet says she is a bit overweight! …
so am I, so we are both on a new diet/excersise programme for the summer.!
She is a bit more sociable now, and knows most of my family. Still
scared of men, and will not have anyone strange walking behind her.
But doing very well. Was due to be speyed at end of Feb, but came into
season. so we had to wait until end of May. Is over it now, but she
has lost a couple more of her teeth. Otherwise she is healthy and
happy!
regards…Lynn.x

Amber has settled down very well with me.
She was very wary on the beach at first, but she seems to like it now, and becomes quite animated as we get near to it.
It maybe that she has realised we will be away from the traffic, which she is still a bit scared of…….with lots of reassurance, thats a work in progress!
She is feeding well – I am following Nicky’s routine as far as I can.
I didn’t leave her at all for the first couple of days, but this week I’ve started leaving her on her own – just for half an hour or so.
She seems fine with that and is very pleased to see me on my return.
I am going to gradually extend the time, till I can leave her a couple of hours while I go shopping etc.
I hate seeing dogs tied up outside of shops!
Putting a couple of pickies on here for you…so you can pass them on.
We are very happy togeather!!!
Lynn.

Hi just a quick update on Missy AKA Amber, now we’ve had her a while,
This little dog is now starting to come out of her shell and totally enjoy life, she now loves her walks and gets
very excited once she knows we are heading out, rounding up the other dogs then waiting patiently whilst we get
ready, she travels very well in the car, no noise just sits quietly until we reach our destination, once on our walk
Missy is polite and calm around other dogs and has wonderful recall, she never ventures far and is extremely good
on the lead not pulling at all.
In the house Missy is clean and is happy to go in her crate, she does not like to be shut in so the door is always
open, she can happily be left for 2-3 hours and is very pleased to see us when we get back, she is very social
and loves to be cuddled, she is also wonderful around my children who range from 9-14 and loves to spend time
with them.
Missy is not high energy although she enjoys her walks she is not the typical bustling Jack Russell
Terrier who is always on the go, she is a very calm little girl and really would be a wonderful addition to any
household.
Regards
Niki

Hi Helen
Just a quick note to say that we have had Rex (Irish border collie) now for just over 2 years now and he is still amazing.
Unfortunately he was very upset when I had to have Sally (one of my other border collie cross dog) put to sleep on 30th January 2013 due to ill health.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Helen
Just a quick word to say that Rex is absolutely gorgeous and gets on well with my other dogs especially Scott as they are both about the same age. They love play fighting with each other but my other dogs are not amused and keep out their way. I must say that the farmer who had Rex beforehand trained him very well except for him chasing cats but we are working on that.
Rex has fallen in love with Sally. He is always going up to her and give her kisses, it is so sweet.
I am so glad we got him and hope to have many years with him.
Will email you with some photos next year.
Hope you have a good Christmas and New Year.
best wishes.
Joan

Hi Helen,
I wanted to send an update on Archer, one of the Kelpie puppies, we got him in November.
He is absolutely lovely such a sweet nature and very trainable.
They are so smart these dogs but not neurotic.
He is a real pleasure.
He is very good off the lead and accompanies me to the yard to do the horses.
He is good with the horses and other dogs.
We also have two small house rabbits – he is excellent with them too.
Kelpie’s are a great breed, you get the best of both worlds – great intelligence, stamina and trainability but they know how to relax and can be quite lazy too.
Having said that they are a working dog and do need plenty of excercise and a good leader.
Thank you so much
Jenine Wills and Archer xx

Hi, as you can see he is turning into such a georgous dog, full of the joys of spring his personality is really starting to show with his cheeky side.
Archer is so good with other animals, just wants to play.
House training is coming along nicely and is starting to sit on command.
He is going need an active home as starting to run rings around me!

Archer one of the Kelpie puppies settling down for the night with Scamp.
Hi sorry not more pictures but don’t have a camera, will try to borrow one.
He loves playing a tug of war game with Alfie and is very polite and won’t badger Alfie if he’s had enough.
Only chews on toys, a lot better with food now.
Brill on the lead and trying to get him to sit.
Good with young children.

Pagan has finally given in and is now sharing her bed with Rox …………..
Hi Helen just a quick update on our new foster Roxy, this little girl has been no trouble at all, she settled very
well after her arrival on Friday, she is clean and quiet in the house, good in the car and has fantastic recall.
Roxy loves her walks, she also loves to play ball wether it be a tennis ball or football, she has bags of
energy and will require quite an active home, in the evenings she likes nothing better than cuddling up with
any lap thats available, she is very sweet with my children and good with other dogs, she will make a lovely
addition to any household.
Hi, my name is Ralph and as you can see from my photo I am a rather handsome Collie when I was found my tail was broken and the vet had to take half of it off.
I can still wag it well and do this all the time to show that it is still working.
When Geoff my foster Dad met me this morning he thought someone had docked it and was outraged until Helen told him my story.
I am settling in extremely well with all the dogs that live at Geoff’s house.
I am following him around with my head stuck to his knee and looking up at him adoringly.
Helen said I look like one of those heel work to music dogs.
