Charlie and Lizzie

Charlie and Lizzie are both happily rehomed

progress update: 04/05/2014

Hi Helen,
I thought I would send a photo and update on Charlie & Lizzie.

We got Lizzie from you in June 2008 when she was approximately 4 months old and Charlie came to us from you in February 2010 when he was approximately the same age.
They are such a complete joy to have and are so well behaved and quickly settled in to our home.

I started taking them to agility training a few years ago and from day one they both fell in love with it, ( to be honest it isn’t just them that loves it)
It is truly the only thing that completely wears them both out.
This photo was taken today after an agility competition in Newbury.
It shows Lizzie with two 3rd place rosettes and a clear round rosette.
Don’t be fooled by the empty space in front of Charlie, he ran his big heart out today and deserves a “I tried really hard” rosette, boy, did he have fun today.

We want to thank you Helen for letting us adopt two of the most amazing dogs we have ever had the pleasure to have in our lives.
We know that they are happy and we could never imagine life without them.

Thanks again
Tracey and Andy and of course Lizzie and Charlie xx

Lynx (a.k.a Rhubarb)

REHOMED

progress update: 27/04/2014

HI DAWG dogs, I thought you might like an update as to how I am getting on, It’s Lynx by the way (originally known as Rhubarb).
So far I have made friends with granny’s dogs Wish and Sprocket, Sprocket is the moodier one but I think I am definitely winning him around and I have fun playing with Wish on walks.
I am settling in well in my cottage with my new mum and dad who tell me all the time they have absolutely fallen in love with me.
Oh and I not only sit and wait but I have good recall and give high fives already, I think I will be top of my puppy class!
And finally I enjoyed my 1st beach outing today and even went in the sea.
Thank you very much for rescuing me and giving my mum and dad the opportunity to adopt me. P.S I love food. Always Lynx. x

Meg

Meg has now found a home !!

I have heard tell that I am adorable and one who is easily fallen in love with and this comes from Helen who doesn’t fall in love easily.
I love other dogs and children but not horses as one stood on my foot and bruised it badly.
I am 9 months old and my lady couldn’t keep me.
I was sad at this at I really loved her and the children I lived with.
Kevin my foster Dad said to Helen ” This is one I could fall in love with ”
Helen said Nooooooooooooooooo Kevin it will take up a foster place for another needy dog like me.

Cyril

Cyril has now found a home !!

progress update: 4/4/14

Hi Helen
I thought you would like to know how well Cyril is doing.
Basic training is going well he now sits and waits for his food, will sit to have his lead put on and is responding to commands to leave the cat (shame we can’t train the cat to stop hissing and spitting at him!) and is coming in from the garden when called.
We are having to be very consistent with him as he definitely has a wilful streak and will turn away if he wants to ignore you.
He really is a much loved addition to our family and I am really noticing the benefit of our daily early morning walks.
Thank you to all who helped to rescue him
Ann.

Hi Helen
Cyril is settling in well, he is a real joy.
Everyone loves him except our cat!
He has had a trip to the vet and treatment for struvite crystals but this seems to have settled now.
Kind regards Ann
