Katie

Katie is one of the siblings that arrived to us last Sunday.

She gets on very well with other dogs and people and has enjoyed several nights sitting on the bar stool at the pub with Geoff in the evening.

She is not too sure what to think of his mates who seem to talk politics all the time which she is finding boring.

She is looking for a home that doesn’t talk politics.

Smokey along with his siblings are small dogs about the size of a Cocker Spaniel ( even though they look larger in their photos ) .
For those of you that are a bit fanciful and always looking for the cross of two different breeds in a dog , this bunch are complete mix ups of all sorts of dogs and as far as I am concerned this is always the best sort.
They are very sociable and gentle dogs. Which is amazing seeming as they were locked away in a shed and living in filth. They still need house training but that will come quick enough now they are in foster homes. They are a year old.

Hi Helen,

Not sure if this email will get through but I hope so as it would be good if you saw the dogs as they were when they were rescued, poor little mites never saw the light of day always locked in a filthy shed got little food or water until they were abandoned and seen wandering on the road . A friend of mine phoned me and we went and picked them up it would just break your heart to see them I still cry with I think back, no wonder the poor things are so dirty.
As always Helen thank you so much.
Oh it is so good to know they are now in good hands.
All the best,

Dolly lab x jrt

Robyn

progress update: 6/1/14

Hi All just a few words to let you know that our lovely Robyn died on Saturday night.
The other three dogs were all asleep on the big sofa and Mike and I were watching TV.
Robyn was asleep in front of the fire as usual, the seizure was very sudden and moved her off her bed and onto the fire surround.
She grazed her nose and was unable to stand.
We don’t think she knew much of what was happening.
We took her straight to the Vethospital and they euthanized her.
She wasn’t expected to go through the night and we didn’t want to take any chances that she may be in pain.
She went very quietly and was the most beautiful, serene and gentle dog to the very end.
Our vet believes she was 13 or 14 years old when she died.
She had spent the last 8 years with us and it was a great privilege to have her in our lives.
We will miss her very much.
Losing Vinnie and Robyn within 7 months of each other is really tough.
Love Marilyn & Mike

Alby has now found a home !!

progress update: 4/4/13

Just had a great walk with Alby my foster dog,
my three and a three legged Lurcher, what fun they had,
Alby had his first off lead walk and he had a blast playing chase with his friends,
came back every time I called him.
What a little star he was , I am soo proud of him.
He is so eager to please.

Through no fault of his own Alby is back at the Rescue and needing a home.

progress update: 3/4/13

Alby has settled happily back into his foster home playing with his mates Diggery and Zander,
he has now been neutered which was a larger op than anticipated as one of his testicles was up by his kidneys and he was out of sorts for a while, he is now fit and well,
this little dog came from the pound and was on death row, a bag of bones riddled with worms and fleas all this has been treated as he has put on lots of weight,
a playful friendly little chap also very affectionate.
Alby is approx 4yrs old Terrier X

Letter from Alfie’s new owners-
Dear Pat, I felt I had to write to thank you for letting us have Alfie we count ourselves very lucky.
We had tried for so long to get another Westie to replace our little Lacy and we never thought we would get any dog to take her place she meant so much to us.
But now we have Alfie he is so lovely and he has settled in so well,
he is such a little show off and he has already got us wrapped around his paw,
if you are in touch with his previous owners please tell them he is happy and much loved already

This came from Pat who fostered Alby:

“Had a phone call from Alby’s lovely new mummy,
he has settled well and behaving himself and doing what Alby does best following her around,
I am so proud of him and how he has behaved in just two short weeks”

progress update: 16/3/13
Albys’ home check was good so he is off to start his new life tomorrow.
Thanks to all the people that made it possible and got him off death row and into safe hands,
he has been a great little dog to foster and so grateful for all that’s been done

Alby enjoying Crufts on TV, he was mesmerized

Alby 4/5 terrier mix,loves every one and everything, dogs and humans alike, travels well, sleep quietly in his crate at night, this little chap has a rough start and is now looking for lots of love and fuss, could use a little refresher on training

Alby is turning out to be a loyal faithful little chap who just need his very own person to dote on and love and he will give it back in bucketfuls

Alby was in a pound and due to be put to sleep.
He is a 4/5 yr old male dog, very friendly and affectionate and in need of lashings of TLC.
