saving DAWGdogs since 1987
Grace is a lovely little girl, very gentle and hasn’t yet found any faults with her.
She is clean in the house, crate trained, loves walking, good on the lead.
She is a little shy but better when she knows you.
She mixes with other dogs but does not like to be badgered by them.
She is the perfect little girl, so graceful, hence her name.
Whoever has Grace will be very lucky indeed.

Hi, I am Beano and quite delightful.
I love dogs and all people I have been at the rescue for several weeks and no-one here can understand why as I am so good.
I am quiet when left, well behaved and clean in the house.
I also know how to behave when taken to the allotment as you can see from my photos.
Beano enjoying sitting in the sun at the allotment.
He is a year old Jack Russel, gets on with other dogs and a delightful dog

This week a 6 year old child came to Jeff’s house to visit and we got on famously. She spent a whole hour cuddling me and throwing the ball.
I fetched it to amuse her but to be honest it was a bit boring but hey you have to amuse the little ones.
I am enjoying myself here at Jeff’s home but would like my own home now and Jeff is getting attached to me, he has several dogs already so can’t keep me.
Hi, my name is Jess and for the last two years I have lived in a shed on a farm.
I was kept there because I didn’t like the working life and this annoyed the farmer. Life was very boring for an intelligent dog like me –
I am a Kelpie cross you know and we are known for our outstanding intelligence so a home that will provide the Times crossword for me to do would suit me well.
Jeff my foster Dad listens to Radio 4 and this keeps me up to speed with world affairs and I also get taken to the pub to enjoy putting the world to rights with him and his cronies.
Jeff has four other dogs and they are all well read so I get on with them extremely well.
I love the sunny days we are enjoying it is such a treat to be out in the fresh air at last.
I like to sunbathe in his garden and if I am feeling frivolous I race around with the dogs for a bit of exercise.

Mouse is about 12-13 weeks old,
has a lovely sweet nature, she is pretty much clean in the house,
she is also crate trained, has fantastic offlead recall,
goes through the night and is good as gold in the car
progress update: 21/4/11
Hi Helen, just a quick update on Mouse now we’ve had her a while, when she first arrived Mouse was quite shy and reserved but it didnt take her long to feel at home, shes happy in the company of my other dogs and my children, she pretty much clean in the house with only one accident so far which is great considering her young age, she is also happy to take herself off into her crate to sleep, we also left her for a short while today with no problems.
Yesterday we went for a walk down to the river where she met lots of dogs and people, she took it all in her stride, this morning we went to Queens Park Golf Course where I let her off lead and she behaved fantastically, she is as good as gold in the car, in the house and we had a brilliant night as she slept right through, we are really enjoying looking after this little girl shes a real sweetheart.

Here are a couple of pictures of Jagger and Chrissie.
They are the best of friends, even if Jagger sits on Chrissie at breakfast time (it’s to keep his bottom warm!)
I often look at your website, and notice that you get some lovely dogs.
Bye for now Helen.
Sue, Dave, Chrissie and Jagger xxxx

I have been with my new mum and dad for 5 weeks now, and i am having a great time, with my new friend Chrissie the border collie. She also comes from Helen’s. My name is jagger by the way. I was called jake, but my new mum and dad thought jagger suited me better.
I can run rings around Chrissie, but she puts up with me, and is nice to snuggle up to, when i get tired, which isen’t very often!
Before I came here i was with my foster dad Dave who nursed me back to health, because i had a nasty bout of kennel cough that i caught in ireland, with a temperature of 102 ! As you can see i am fine now and enjoying life so much. I have made several new doggy friends that i like to run and play with. I go swimming in the river, while Chrissie paddles, but i am looking forward to going to the beach.
I shall always be grateful to auntie Helen for bringing me over from ireland. life is good here.
Love jagger and Chrissie.

We still havent heard him bark! For a jack russell is this amazing
All he wants to do is sit on your lap or beside you on sofa sleeping.
Jake is eating and drinking well. He loves the few toys we got for him, jake goes mad for a ball.
He has a huge amount of energy when he is playing in the garden.
Jake does not know any commands!! So will need a lot of training but I am sure he will excel in treat training.
We can already tell he will not like to be left alone and loves human contact.
He is a true character who wants to play with his toys and then snuggle up on the sofa when he has tired his owner out!!
While out walking we have met other dogs which he has shown no aggression to or any interest in them!
He does walk well on the lead.
Thiis is Jake who came from Ireland a fortnight ago

Murphy has made himself part of the family and acts like he has always been here.
He loves laying on the sun lounger in the garden.
The whole family loves him.
Thank you so much for letting us have this wonderful dog,
a real big soppy playful dog that we wouldn’t be without.

Hi Helen.
Misty has been with me for 5 weeks and her confidence is improving each day, but she is shy with people she doesn’t know.
She enjoys her walks very good on the lead, likes to play with other dogs in short bursts.
Likes to be warm and have a fuss made of her, a very beautiful little Collie girl with lots of love to give to the right person.
Shy with men and recommend with older children only.
Thanks
Tracy

hi helen
Misty is still nervous around people but has come out of her shell with me,
it has taken a while and this little girl has worked very hard at this and loves cuddles and belly rubs.
Misty has finally stopped weeing when been left for short periods during the day as now knows we’re coming back.
Walking on the lead is much better now, still a little nervous of traffic but nothing that won’t go. she likes to be on the inside of the path, I feel this is her safety net.
Misty has been with us for three weeks now and I must say she has not allowed my son’s near her yet, but as ever tiny steps, and each day is a new one.
She has worked hard to get where she is today and , i’m so proud of her.
If Misty could talk, her ideal forever home would be quiet, wouldn’t mind another dog for company, as long as she could get her alone time.
Her bed by the fire because she loves to be warm and a mum who would have time and patience to allow Misty to come completely out of her shell.
This beautiful little girl just needs someone who is willing to give her time and show her it is OK to trust.
Tracy
Misty the Collie arrived this morning in need of a bath and looking much cleaner now,
she is timid at the moment and is in need of lots of TLC.
Been in the garden and had a look around, spent most of her day indoors.
More news later…..watch this space!

Hi Helen just a quick progress report for the lovely Maxine,
this lovely girl has been here a week now and her behaviour is still fantastic, shes so good in the house, and anywhere else you care to take her, shes very sociable with other dogs and people, shes wonderful with my children and all of their friends, shes good as gold at night in her crate we don’t hear a peep out of her.
Maxine enjoys spending most of her time with me in the day, she likes to help out with what ever you are doing, she is quite an energetic and busy little dog, but saying
that she is also very very affectionate and really enjoys being cuddled and loves to be on your lap in the evenings, Maxine is happy to go in her crate during the day if I have
to go out so she really is a fantastic dog all round, she has great recall off lead, and if I did’nt have 3 dogs already she would be staying with me.
Regards
Niki

Hi Helen, just a quick update on the lovely Maxine now she has been here a little while,
this little girl has settled herself in here extremely well, she has been clean and dry in the house and has been happy to go in her crate during the day and through the night with no problems at all,
she is very respectful of my other dogs, and very very affectionate with my
children,
so far she has been a little bit shy regarding playing with toys but I’m sure this will come in time.
Maxine travelled very well in the car for our walk by the river this morning where she had a great she time meeting lots of other dogs and people she was happy to say hello to dogs
of all different shapes and sizes, without hesitation which is great,
at this very moment Maxine is curled up on my daughter’s lap,
she really does enjoy being fussed and we are really enjoying having her here.
