Buster

Busters’ family have managed to find a home that will enable them to keep him so he is very pleased to be back with them again !!

Buster came into DAWG the other day , Buster is with us through no fault of his own but as I have met his previous family he was clearly very much loved and clearly will be missed, and I have assured them that we will find him another loving home.
Here is his doggy CV.

Name….Buster ..really like my name so would prefer to keep it,
Breed…Terrier x Terrier x Terrier
Colour…Cream with flashes of grey ( coat turns to grey when I charge into ponds ), I have been clipped but my hair is normally mid length, Steve said I look like a toy bear.
Size……Im a sturdy chap but very cuddly
Faults…..None so far.
Character…Very friendly, good with other dogs but I will tell those off with a polite bark when they get annoying ( re: tom Steve’s dog) love socialising , being bouncy , great in the car but I want to explore soon as car door opens, loves food ( especially Steve’s Ginger Nut biscuits…wasn’t me Steve), likes walking ( I could walk for England) , running on beach ( getting wet) great recall ( I will trot off but I always come back when called or your out of view) I also sleep very well at night in my crate with door open. oh and I like TV .
Finally , I have been described of being a “proper”dog ? think they mean I can be what ever you want me to be .

This chap is just faultless , I think he needs a home where he can get lots of exercise where he can come home and cuddle on the sofa ( if allowed), in a family with children over the age of 7 (as he is very playful but in an adorable way) or someone who lives on there own.
Buster has been very tolerant of my dogs and others.

Pickles

Pickles has now found a home !!

progress update: 23/3/12

Hi Helen,

An update on Pickles, we have decided to change his name to Biggles. Pickles is a great name while he’s a cute puppy but looking at his paws we think he’ll grow into a Big boy. Due to the similarity he hasn’t noticed the change.
Biggles has settled in very well there were just 2 nights of crying and he’s now quiet and dry throughout the night.
We all love him and he has really taken to all the family.He loves to play in the garden and is getting regular short works, nothing has phased him he’s very polite with other dogs. He has seen people riding on horses, bicycles, noisy lorries, and by the river he’s seen an otter.
The purbec gun dog school in wareham have a puppy socialisation on the 8th April and my daughter and I are planning to attend.
We managed to get him to sit still in the garden for 2 seconds to take a photo of him.

Kind regards
Paul

Hello Everyone! My name is “Pickles”.
I am a 16 week old liver & white English Springer boy.
I am an adorable little chap (or so I have been told) who loves everyone.
I get on brilliantly with other dogs,cats and children.
I love having my tummy tickled and being taken for walks.
I’m only a baby though and have been told that I pull on the lead and need to learn to behave myself a bit better, but everything is so exciting that I just can’t help myself!
I’m sure that with some training I would soon learn to walk nicely like the other dogs (as I’ve also been told that I’m quite clever!).
If you think you could offer me a loving home, please call Helen at the rescue x x

Max

Max has now found a home !!

progress update: 10/3/12

“I’ve had Max a couple of days now, and he is a perfect gent.
He hasn’t chewed anything or got up on to the counters (even for the cat food).
He’s clean and will wee when asked. We’ve yet to hear him bark.
He does try and play with our dog Basil but Basil is being grumpy but Max doesn’t respond.
I’ve had him off the lead in the park even though there were other dogs there, he was just interested in chasing his ball which he brings back and if you don’t throw it quickly enough he picks it up and throws it to you to remind you.
He walks well on a harness but pulls a bit with just a collar.
All in all he is a lovely dog and would be an asset to any family.”

This is Max, 5 year old labrador/ German shepherd cross.
Castrated, chipped and vaccinated.
Been told he’s good with children.
He gets on with other dogs and our cat.
He’s in the rescue through no fault of his own.

Kito

Kito has now found a home !!

Kito after Niki and Heleanor set to and gave him a hair cut.
His coat was full of matts and after they had cut the hair away found that his ear was badly infected and weeping.
Poor Kito must have been in pain for quite a while.
He is off to the vet tomorrow to have surgery on the ear.

This is Kito a Lhaso Apso, 6 years old.
He arrived along with Pheonix and Shady.
He is currently fostering with Niki and getting on very well with her dogs.

Jesse

REHOMED

progress update: 30/1/11

Hi Helen,
Here are a couple of pictures of Jesse. He is a lovely dog, full of bounce and enthusiasm. We now have him off lead in the forest, which he enjoys immensely. Sausages have worked to convince him to jump into the car under his own steam, but he does like to think about it first and can get easily distracted! We are winning!
Regards, Sally and Tony.

Hi Helen,

Just a note to let you know how Jesse is getting on. In fact you would never know that he had not lived with us all his life. We have no problems so far with him sleeping in his bed in the kitchen over night. We have just had to tweak the central heating boiler clock to stop him waking us up too early! He loves our grandsons and adores the garden, chasing round and round. Today he is wearing his celery perfume. In the garden this morning he found some frozen paper which had been used to blanch celery and had a great game with it! He enjoyed his walk in the snow this morning (so far only on an extending lead).

Have a great Christmas, with our best wishes

Sally and Tony

Hi Helen

Just to update you on this handsome boy.
He will be three in April.
Gets along fine with my dogs and all that we have met out on our walks.
Has good recall. He has met the rabbits , chickens, guinea pigs and cats and is very good with them all.
Once in the car travels well, a little unsure about getting into the car.
He likes to play ball and frisbie and splash about in the river.
He is good in the house barking only at the doorbell he is a really smashing dog just waiting to go to a new home.

Heleanor

Hi Helen,

Humpty is nearly 3 years old, he is a red and white border collie.
He is ok with cats enjoying playing with my other foster Jasmin. Has lived with children.
He is ok on the lead but can get carried away trying to get to all the lovely sniffs.
He has mixed in well with my girls. Will write again when I know him better.

Charlie

Charlie has now found a home !!

progress update: 29/1/12

Charlie is about 2 years old.
He gets on well with other dogs and our cat, who treats him with utter comtempt as he is the same size as her.
She has had a go at playing with him but he’s not too sure of her.
He is good off the lead and enjoys chasing a ball which he then carries around.
He does whine a bit when people leave for work/school but it doesn’t last long and he is very happy to see you when you arrive home.
He is learning to sit and wait for his food but this is a work in progress.
All in all he’s a very happy chap.

Jackie

He’s about the same size as the cat and she treats him with utter contempt.

This is Charlie who is looking for a home.
He is about 2 years old, friendly and gets on with other dogs and cats.
Charlie is a bichon frise.

Sam

Sam has now found a home !!

Sam is 7 years +, a large Springer Spaniel, 25 kg +, black and white, powerful.
Loves: – Walks, company, food (but is not greedy), cars (especially Land Rover Discoveries!) people (especially men), Radio 4!
He is good with other dogs, children and likes going to the pub!
He is house trained and obedient (but can be stubborn).

Jasmin

Jasmin has now found a home !!

progress update: 4/2/12

Hi Helen,

Just a quick update on Jasmine.
A lovely crossbreed who is about ten months old .
She is growing into a lovely dog.
Very social with other dogs and people, loves to play ball or chase with another willing dog.
She enjoys riding in the car.
Is doing well with her house training.
Is clean and quiet in her crate over night.
She has met the cats , chickens , rabbits and guinea pigs doesn’t seem to be overly bothered by them .
Can pull a little but this is getting better , and is very enthusiastic about everything and could possibly do very well in agility or flyball.
With those ears and her zest for life she will make a lovely addition to a family.
