Penny (a.k.a Sadie)

REHOMED

progress update: 20/3/11

Hi Helen

A few pics. to show you what a lovely time I am having in my new home!

I love my KONG which I have had a few treats in!
The Lab. is my mate Dudley he is nearly two and so much fun!! He helped me to improve my recall skills so I am now allowed off the lead, which is so much more fun especially when you meet new friends,
like ‘Flint’ a 1 year old collie who I met on one of my walks, I wasn’t so white after this game as we romped in the marsh as well as the water?!
I love the fact that I live so close to all this lovely forest, as you can see I am on top of the world on this hill!
My final pick for now is one of my toys which I can do all sorts of tricks with, my speciality is spinning it round my head like a majorette!

Thank you for helping me to be happy Dawgdog!

Love Penny (AKA Sadie)

Sadie has now found a home !!

Sadie has been with us for two days and settled in straight away, she loves playing with our dawgdogs Meg and Tess and even our grumpy Jack Russell joins in.
She is about 14 months old and is very gentle with a great temperament and loves lots of cuddles, she is a constant companion, loving to sit next to you with her head your lap.
Obviously, as she is still young she has lots of energy, but she is very calm in the house,
she needs work on her recall, but responds well to training.
Sadie has not met the grandchildren yet, but with her nature I do not think there will be a problem.

We think Sadie is a gorgeous dog who will be a faithful friend, she is looking for a loving home with lots of walks and cuddles.

Purdy (a.k.a Susie)

Susie has now found a home !!

progress update: 14/3/11

Hi Helen

Just to let you know that Susie (who will be called Purdy from now on) has settled in with Jon very well.
She has also met up with our 2 dogs, Megan and Teah, and she has been well recieved by both, Megan pretending to be her mum.
She will be registered with our vet on Tuesday.

She has a delightful nature and having met several people (including some children) over the short time we have had her, she seems ideally suited to becoming another therapy dog with Caring Canines.

Best regards
Mike Foreman

These are the photos of Suzie taken who arrived this morning.
She is very happy little girl and smiles at everybody she meets.
Still a bit nervous but a quick learner who loves cuddles, will sit on command, likes to play and a lovely girl all round.

Susie is approx 8 months old, very sweet, loves other dogs and is gentle in nature.
More to follow on her soon.

Hello Auntie Helen,

Here is a picture of me in my new forever home. I shouldn’t say it of myself but between you and me I think I am looking really good now that I have put on a little weight and my fur has grown although Mum keeps having my hair cut each time I try to grow it !!!!

It is 4 months now since I came here so I have really settled and am happy. I am learning not to pull on my lead but its taking me a while as I get so excited when we go for walks and meet all my friends.

Give my love to all my friends at Dawgdogs and tell to keep their tails wagging as it won’t be long before they have a new happy home just like mine.

Lots of licks

Missy xxxx

Hello Auntie Helen,

Thought I would let you know how I have settled into my new forever home. I love it & my new mum & dad love me. I’m being such a good girl. I sleep all night in my bed & in the morning i’m allowed on their bed for a cuddle. I have a toy box with a lid on but I nearly know how to get the lid off so I can play all the time although they do take my sqeaky toy away from me sometimes. I don’t really understand why but I guess they know the reason.

I am going to see uncle Graham on Mon at his Penhill house but mum hasn’t told me what for. I think its someone for me to play with !! I am also going to the hairdressers in December so am really looking forward to a pamper day. Don’t think I need a perm !

I do love pulling my dad round the park for a walk & if I slow down I get a treat so i’m beginning to learn how to get a treat. I’m not going to stop pulling for a while though because if I do the treats will stop. Oh its such a lovely dogs life.

Lots of licks Missy xxxx

Missy has now found a new home !!

Hi Helen
Missy here!
I just love this new talent I’ve learnt!
I wanted to say a big thank you for finding me a lovely new home. I think you ought to re name your charity to Matchmakers for dogs . com!
Will miss my friend Amy and thought you may like a picture of us saying goodbye!

Love to all,
Missy

Yesterday a couple went to visit Missy and fell in love instantly and today Helen received these texts from Missy:-

” Hello Helen its me Missy. Dooley taught me how to write. I am so excited that I have a new forever home to go to. Yvonne and Brian can’t wait to love me so I know I will be top dog. Please can I go as soon as possible as I can’t wait to sleep in my new beds & play with all my toys. Lots of licks Missy “

Helen replied asking if Dooley had taught her to write via the computer to which Missy sent a reply-

” Yes Helen it was the computer & we laughed a lot at Dooley’s antics so I can’t wait to taste their car “

A home check was arranged for lunchtime and Missy is off to her new home tomorrow.

” How exciting ! My tail has nearly wagged off. I will tell Yvonne to put the kettle on “

Hi Helen

Missy has settled down really well, she likes to be with us all the time. She has been for lots of walks and spent all her time with my 3 daughters.

When the girls disappear, she gets quite upset! Missy was very nervous when she first arrived, Now however, she is full of fun and very playful.

Missy has had a bath and looks lovely. Over the next few days, I’m sure her confidence will continue to grow.

I will keep you updated!

Titch

progress update: 4/3/11

Hi Helen
Just a quick note to let you know how Titch is.
He seems to have settled right in as if he’s always been a part of our family !
He’s eating well and loving walks !
We’ve had a couple of “accidents” in the house but not many and he will let us know if he wants to go out.
He is doing well with his crate and seems comfortable and confident to go in it at night.
He has stayed “home alone” a couple of times for short periods and was fine and gave us a lovely welcome home.
We’ll forward some pictures to you soon. Hope all is well

Fiona & Tony Bennett

Titch has now found a home !!

This Titch.
He is very sociable with other dogs and loves humans of any age.
He is terrified of being abandoned, but I am gradually trying to leave him at home for longer periods.
He seems to have gained confidence living with his foster brother so I am sure he would be happy in a forever home with another dog or with humans who would not leave him alone for long.
He is still skinny but doing his best to rectify it!

Barnaby

Barnaby has now found a home !!

progress update: 17/2/11
Barnaby has been a Dawg Dog now for over four weeks and I can’t believe nobody has been to see this little gem of a dog!!
So what can I say!
Well to start with he is absolutely fantastic off the lead,
he doesn’t pull on the lead, his recall his great,
he is friendly and playful with other dogs, he travels well in the car,
he is clean in the house (very occasional accident), he is crate trained,
he is gentle, he doesn’t get on the furniture and in my opinion a really good looking young man!
Barnaby is about 6 months old now and has bags of potential to bring on.
Please ring Helen at the rescue if you want to come and meet him. 01202 380467

progress update from Jane: 7/2/11

Barnaby has been fostering with Sam and Bear but poor Bear has been a little poorly so Barnaby has come to stay with Ozzie while Helen finds him a forever home and Bear gets better.
Barnaby is an extremely handsome Collie X, approx 6 months old.
He is friendly, although a little nervous at first of new people, and playful with other dogs.
He is good off the lead and willing to learn.
Barnaby has settled into our home like he has been here forever – he will be a fabulous family dog.

progress update from Sam: 30/1/11

another update on the stunning little Barnaby

he is getting on fantastically, walking well on lead, playing nicely with other dogs, however yet to be let off lead. he has learnt not to jump up on people when they arrive, and is proving to be a great doorbell, barking when someone knocks the door.

he loves his cuddles, but at the start is very nervous about approaching someone new.

would make a great family pet!

progress update from Sam: 20/1/11

Barnaby is appropriately 5 months old, he has been with us for nearly a week now.
Upon arrival he was very very shy, however he has now come out of his shell.
Although still a little nervous he is getting better each day,
he is friendly with all other dogs he has met and spends most of the day playing with my pup Bear.
Barnaby will toilet outside and is clean overnight, he walks perfectly to heel on a loose lead,
he is also a star in the car, almost forgot he was there until he started to snore!
He is going to make a fabulous family pet…….
He has a cracking character and is getting a little cheeky!

Jasper

Jasper has now found a home !!

progress update: 17/2/11

Hi Jasper here , how’s you Helen ?
I have now learnt that walking is a nice pastime , especially when im walking with my foster mums dog Jack and Patches (who’s doing really well).
Tracy ( foster mum) is apparently very proud of my perseverance travelling in the car ..am getting much better.
Have found my talent in playing football…which has helped me come out of my shell more.
Tracey says that im very much a people person , very wagging tail in doing so.
Tracy has said that she is sure that I will not grow much bigger …currently im “knee high size” and considering Tracy is only 5ft in human terms I am a small/medium beautifully slim dog..
Basically I am looking for a forever home to enhance my beautiful nature ..I wont let you down….Got to go now I feel a cuddle coming on …love Jasper

progress update from Tracey: 21/1/11

We have named him Jasper, he seems to like it!
Well, he has settled in fine enjoying playing with Jack, he is a lively little boy now,
still shy of people he doesnt know but his nosiness gets the better of him.
Jasper is clean in the house lets you know when he wants to go out which is very good, learning to sit not doing to bad may I add.
Loves cuddles and kisses he is just the sweetest thing and is a joy to look after, whoever takes this little chap home is going to be very lucky.
Still not to keen on the lead or traffic but keep working on it, eating fine and doesn’t mind being handled when eating fantastic.
Met my grandson and played with him so another plus good with children,
ignores my chickens has no interest in them what so ever another plus for him.

Bruno & Tallis

Bruno and Tallis have both now found homes!!

Tallis is a neutered 9 month old male Staffie. A really lovely boy, very loyal and affectionate, also very boisterous and energetic. Great off the lead, he will come back when called. Good with children, but doesn’t yet know his boundaries when playing, so better suited to a home without younger children.
Pulls on lead, but with training he will get much better. Good with other dogs but will chase cats & probably other small animals. Found as a stray, he really needs a stable and loving forever home. Tallis has loads of potential to be such a great family dog & is learning fast!

Flash

Flash has now found a home !!

My name is Flash and I came to the rescue last week.
I like it here I have a warm bed, food and a radiator to lie by which I have never had before.
I am quiet and when anyone visits I lie my head on their lap and lean against them, it is such a change to feel a gentle hand.
Before I came here I stayed with a kind lady in Ireland for a night and she sent a letter with me to the rescue she said I was lovely and she wished that she had been able to have me longer so she could clean me up before I travelled. .
Mutley said not to worry he heard Helen making an appointment for me to go to the hairdressers for a wash and blow dry.
