Sky

Sky is a bundle of fun.

Not good with cats.
Yvonne her foster Mum will write more about her now she has had time to settle in at her house.

Chloe (a.k.a Bobbie)

REHOMED !!

progress update: 5/3/14

Just a quick update on Bobbie (named after Bobbie Wickham from the Jeeves & Wooster stories as she is short and bossy!).

She’s only been here for 24 hours and has made herself right at home.
Beano and her have been playing all day and he is loving have a pal.
We’ve been out for a walk and she’s met some other dogs (she does bark at them but only to make them play) and she desperately wanted to chase a cyclist but other than that, she was perfectly well behaved.
She slept well last night and has eaten all her food.
She’s worked out how to use the dog flap and has been charging around the garden with Beano and has been taking naps on my lap whilst I am working at the computer.
She already comes to her new name and loves her treats!
She really is a sweet little soul.

Best wishes
Mandy

Chloe has now found a home !!

progress update: 24/2/14

We have only looked after Chloe for 4 days but we have found that she is a very confident little dog.
Absolutely full of love, wants to cuddle and play.
She will make a wonderful companion dog, but she doesn’t seem to get on well with other dogs.
She travels very well in the car, eagerly eats her food and she plays beautifully
with her ‘tugging’ toy and brings it to you to join in the game.
In fact the barking and growling at the other dogs might well be an invitation to play.
She does however growl and lunge at other dogs on the walk.
She loves having a bath or shower when she is muddy and especially enjoys the cuddle in a towel afterwards.
She has been sleeping overnight in a crate and we didn’t hear a peep out of her.
We leave the crate door open during the day and she’s popped in for a doze once or twice.
I can’t stress enough how loving she is to people.
Her only problems are pulling on the lead and barking at other dogs, although she
did try to chase a horse and a jogger whilst on her walk.
She has been used to a harness and lead which is not good for training.
Her first owner did say they hadn’t trained her at all.
The fact that she is homeless is in no way her fault, she has been a sad victim of peoples circumstances.

After the passing of our two rescue dogs Patch & Molly so close together,
(Molly was a sweet and loving DAWG dog who was with us for 12 yrs), it was a very sad time.
Channeling our upset into something positive, enter Barney as a foster placement…..well,
we took one look at him and knew he’d found his forever home !
He settled quickly and has been with us for over 6 months now.
Such a wonderful little chap, Barney loves everyone and everyone loves Barney !
He’s full of character, very affectionate and brought much happiness to the family.
Thank you so much for him Helen, he’s adorable.
Thought you would like these photos of Barney and his friends.

Pepper

Pepper has now found a home !!

progress update: 18/2/14

Pepper is 8 years old , a lovely girl. She gets on with dogs and children.

Peppa (1)

Pepper is such a lovely little girl, wants cuddles and to be with you.
She is clean day and night and sleeps to about 4/4.30 when she will let you know that she needs to go out for the toilet, but goes straight back to bed.
She has taken an interest in our rats and the local cats when she is sat on the window sill.
Pepper loves her walks and cuddles after when being dried.
She gets on well with Maddie our dog and loves the attention our boys show her.
She does as she is told, although can be cheeky when it’s feeding time and will sneak up behind you.
I haven’t let her off lead and she does pull, like most little dogs I see being walked!

Pepper

Meet Pepper, she has only been with us a couple of hours.
She’s asked to go out for the toilet, very sweet girl indeed.
Will update again when she’s settled

 

Toby the King Charles spaniel

Toby has now found a home !!

progress update: 16/2/14

We’ve had Toby for a couple of weeks now and he is a real character.
Before he settles down for a nap he looks around for something he can take and guard,  paper, tissue, plastic bag, hat. glove, towel, anything.
He then takes it to bed and looks at you as if to say “come and get it”.
We don’t, we wait till he falls asleep and then take it.
You can stroke and pet him when he is guarding as long as you don’t go near it.

He loves his walks and gets very excited and now he has lost a bit of weight he can even get all four feet in the air.
Toby loves to meet other dogs and will run the length of the field to say hello, but then usually looks to see where you are and then I can signal to him to come back as he is quite deaf so calling is no good.
He will chase the cat but he knows he shouldn’t as he runs away so could only live with a confident cat.
Toby makes me smile at least a couple of times a day with his foibles.
He would make an ideal companion for an older person who doesn’t have young children because of his guarding as he will snap if challenged.

Toby KCS (6)

Toby KCS (9)

Toby KCS (5)

progress update: 31/1/14

He’s quite a nice dog, gets on well with other dogs and although a bit possessive it’s not unmanageable.
I let him of the lead today and he came back easily enough.
He would suit an adult household.

Just arrived approx 8yrs old King Charles Spaniel, bit overweight so plenty of exercise needed.
More to follow once he has settled in with us.
