Kiki & Henry

Kiki and Henry have now found a home together!!

 

 

Kiki and Henry were both unclaimed strays from a dog pound.
They arrived last November and Kiki was very badly matted and in a poor state.
Both were timid but are now much better especially Henry who is now full of confidence.
In the time they have been here Kiki has become quite dependent on Henry and as they get on so well we are looking for a home for them together.
Kiki is a Cocker-Poo and Henry a Chihuahua/Terrier mix.
Henry is around four-ish and Kiki probably a similiar age.
Both get on well with other dogs and were very good when meeting people during our fundraising before Christmas.

Little Kiki arrived last Sunday from the dog pound.
Very matted and scared to be stroked.
She will be going to the groomers to be de matted as it is too much for me to do.
Even under her paws in between the pads is matted.
She is becoming more brave and will even jump up sometimes to say “Hello ” to me.
Kiki will not be ready to be homed until the New Year.
Kiki is a Cocker Poo

Sam

Sam has now found a home !!

Sam arrived a week ago as an unclaimed stray.
He is settling in at his foster home and gets on well Yvonne’s dog.
Sam is around five and a Jack Russel size dog, we think a Yorkshire Terrier cross Terrier.
Yesterday he was at Pets at Home with Yvonne helping us with the fundraising and enjoying lots of fuss from the customers there

Eddie

Eddie has now found a home !!

Eddie has been in the Rescue for a couple of weeks now having arrived from a dog pound.
He is around 9 months old and gets on great with the other dogs.
He has not been treated well in his short life and will duck down or shrink away as if expecting to be hit.
He is better than he was and soon learns that a person wants to fuss him rather than hit him.
Lovely, lovely boy


Harvey

Harvey has now found a home !!

Harvey is a lovely people friendly little dog.
He has a quite determined character which I think is part of the terrier characteristic.
He loves to play with his toys and will interact with you when playing.
Loves to play ball which he will give up.
Harvey does pull on the lead.
He doesn’t get on with other male dogs when out on his walks.
Harvey will need a strong arm when walking him and possibly extra training.

Larry

Larry has now found a home !!

Larry is around 11 years of age and getting on well with the other dogs here.
He walked in and settled down straight away with them even to the point of letting Pippin steal his dinner.
He was meant to be barking at other dogs when out on a walk which is why he came back but I have not had that trouble with him since being with me.
The first walk out with the others he barked at a friend’s dog twice and after a quick “No ” from me he was fine.
Later on during the walk he passed by a dog with no reaction. He would suit someone who is home all the time as he does like company.
Saying that though he does settle down after the first night and is quiet until 6.30.
I don’t bother to set the alarm now as he does the job for it.
I think at some point in his life he may have been with an older person and used to being a faithful companion.

Bruno

NOW REHOMED

progress update: 06/06/2022

Elaine has sent me an update on Bruno.
He goes running regularly, is very loved and has won a prize in a hotel paws of fame competition!


progress update: 23/2/21

Bruno celebrated his 2nd Birthday last Saturday. He appears to have calmed down and is settling in nicely.
So far, we have only lost ½ bag of crisps and 1 yorkshire pudding off the kitchen counter 😊 He has definitely grown taller and is now at his correct weight (30kg). He is also walking much better on the lead – we no longer used the harness there’s still a little pulling/tugging and we’re using the spray when he lunges for cats which he is beginning to understand. We take him to Toplands Field where he is able to run free and socialise with other dogs, the field is water logged but the pleasure we get from seeing him playing and running free is amazing (he totally ignores us when we’re there!!). Brian takes him running 5-12km 3 times a week and once the weather gets better I will take him too.

He gets let out to play in the garden several times a day where he gets to do his zoomies. Bruno gets bored fairly easily so I need something to perk up his interest. One thing he really enjoys (weirdo), is Amazon cardboard boxes. I fold the box up and shove little treats, bits of carrots, etc and Sellotape it into little compartments and he spends ages ripping the box up to get the treats; like I said weirdo 😊
