Just a note to say thank you so much for all that you did for Defa and Kizzie (now Merlin and Jasmine – named by our children).
They are settling in and we are all getting used to each other.
Merlin is a total softie – he loves nothing more than a cuddle.
Jasmine can be jealous when we try to give Merlin a cuddle, but they are calming down a lot.
Jasmine loves to play football in the garden.
Merlin is getting used to going for walks on the lead – Jasmine has her second injection next Thursday, so we are looking forward to exploring the New Forest together.

Lily has settled into the routine with fellow DAWG veterans, Tara and Fizzy.
She and Fizzy make a huge amount of noise when they run out of the door first thing in the morning. Luckily, the neighbours are tolerant.

She gets very excited when we come home from shopping.
She runs around madly barking as soon as we open the front door and jumps up on our knees for a cuddle as soon as the shopping is put down.
She is ecstatic when we prepare for a walk, running around the whole house barking and bouncing about.

Once we are out on the common, she’s getting very brave and will now investigate things about 100 yards away.
Sometimes, she loves to run as fast as she can, just for the fun of it.
She loves to meet other dogs but keeps her distance from their owners.
We doubt that she will ever be comfortable with people she doesn’t know.
However, that’s not surprising after her four years of suffering abuse.

She is extremely well behaved and runs back instantly when her name is called.
She even comes back when I call Tara.
Of course it’s very costly in biscuits.

Unfortunately, she is still very wary of children.
We’re working on it…

Hi Helen just a quick update on Susie now shes been here a while, after her arrival yesterday Susie spent most of the day hiding
under the table very fearful of everyone and everything, but today we have come on leaps and bounds, she very much enjoyed her
walk at Queens Park, her tail was up all of the way round, we met several dogs which where greeted very politely, also she travelled
really well in the car, and she is very good on the lead no pulling at all.

Last night was very good, Susie was happy to go in her crate, we had no noise and she was clean and dry, she really is a very
sweet but an extremely shy little girl, she will make a wonderful companion for somebody

regards
Niki

A bitch of approx 4 to 5 years old, friendly but shy.

more details soon

Helen,
Just letting you know that Holly is coming along pretty well now.
She is a different dog from when we collected her from you last Monday.
Her season has finished now and her cough has gone as well.

She walks really well on the lead by your side and doesn’t pull, but we let her off the lead in the bridleway near the house and she just ran off and I thought thats it she’s gone but she was waiting by the gate to go in the garden.

Today we saw the vet and she had a injection and will have another one in a couple of weeks time.
We had noticed that her breath smelt a bit and some of her teeth did not look too good and the vet said she would take a good look at them when she comes in to be spayed and if need be may extract them at the same time.

We will try and let you have some photos of her but we need Dean our son to do that for us.

Kind Regards
Brian & Christine Tomlinson

Autumn has now found a home !!

Autumn is a young female small sized spaniel.
She is slightly timid around people but perks up around other dogs even large dogs like Murphy, the English Mastiff!
She is gaining confidence every day and would suit a quieter family home.

Hiya What a difference a haircut makes!!
She’s a really lovely dog, a real sweetie, if we didn’t have Basil we’d keep her.
She’s a very friendly and happy little dog.
Hasn’t put a foot wrong since she arrived.
Someone will be very lucky to have her.

Skipper has now found a home !!

This great little boy arrived today from Ireland and has settle in really well,
good with other dogs,
clean in the house,
affectionate without being in your face,
fell asleep whilst I dried him after his bath ..

Glen has now found a home !!

This is Glen who arrived on Wednesday and is looking for a home.
Glen is about 18 months, quite a tall Collie.
Sadly I think he has had a rough start in life and is very nervous.
However each day he is growing in confidence and trust.
Today he had a much needed bath which he didn’t like very much but he was a good boy.
He is good on the lead and doesn’t seem bothered by traffic.
He doesn’t like me throwing sticks for Ozzie, he just cowers in fear, so I would imagine sticks have been used for other reasons in his previous life. He is crated at night and never makes a sound.
Glen loves his food and needs to put on a bit of weight.
Will update again when he has found his feet a little more.

Seamus has now found a home !!

progress update: 18/11/11

Hi, I arrived here this week and am sharing bed space with Murphy or would do if I wanted to do so.
He seems to think that he can share my bed and toys, I have other ideas about this.
I love a cuddle from people but to be honest would prefer to be an only dog.
I do like to take charge of them all as I am an organiser.
I heard Helen say I will feel better about other dogs when I have been to the vet – not sure how going to the vet for a chat is going to make any difference.
Helen likes Terriers she says they have bundles of character.

Today I took Stanley and Dexter to the Allotment with me and I can’t say that they were as helpful as Buddy,Clive and Charlie !!
They had a great time chasing each other across my vegetable beds and crushing my plants.
Dexter thought he would help me collect the potatoes and sneaked off with a couple to chomp into at his leisure.
Stanley decided to dig into the Bees nest whilst I was weeding right next to it,thankfully they are Mining Bees and very placid.
I am afraid this was the final straw and they were marched back to the car.
Next time I go there they will be staying at home and Tess will be coming with me.

Dexter checking to see if I am looking before he nicks a potato

Hello. I am Dexter, a Border terrier cross Shitzu.
I arrived into the rescue two days ago and Dooley has been explaining the rules to me i.e we have to try not to throw our blankets onto the floor and that he is top dog ( after Mutley and Spike).
Helen said that I am a very amiable chap and I certainly am but I am not too keen on the little people called children they run around too much.
I do like dogs though and there is plenty of that here.
