Max has now found a home !!

progress update: 10/3/12

“I’ve had Max a couple of days now, and he is a perfect gent.
He hasn’t chewed anything or got up on to the counters (even for the cat food).
He’s clean and will wee when asked. We’ve yet to hear him bark.
He does try and play with our dog Basil but Basil is being grumpy but Max doesn’t respond.
I’ve had him off the lead in the park even though there were other dogs there, he was just interested in chasing his ball which he brings back and if you don’t throw it quickly enough he picks it up and throws it to you to remind you.
He walks well on a harness but pulls a bit with just a collar.
All in all he is a lovely dog and would be an asset to any family.”

This is Max, 5 year old labrador/ German shepherd cross.
Castrated, chipped and vaccinated.
Been told he’s good with children.
He gets on with other dogs and our cat.
He’s in the rescue through no fault of his own.

Kito has now found a home !!

Kito after Niki and Heleanor set to and gave him a hair cut.
His coat was full of matts and after they had cut the hair away found that his ear was badly infected and weeping.
Poor Kito must have been in pain for quite a while.
He is off to the vet tomorrow to have surgery on the ear.

This is Kito a Lhaso Apso, 6 years old.
He arrived along with Pheonix and Shady.
He is currently fostering with Niki and getting on very well with her dogs.

progress update: 17/2/12

Hi Helen

Just to update you on this handsome boy.
He will be three in April.
Gets along fine with my dogs and all that we have met out on our walks.
Has good recall. He has met the rabbits , chickens, guinea pigs and cats and is very good with them all.
Once in the car travels well, a little unsure about getting into the car.
He likes to play ball and frisbie and splash about in the river.
He is good in the house barking only at the doorbell he is a really smashing dog just waiting to go to a new home.

He is ok with cats enjoying playing with my other foster Jasmin. Has lived with children.
He is ok on the lead but can get carried away trying to get to all the lovely sniffs.
He has mixed in well with my girls. Will write again when I know him better.

Charlie has now found a home !!

progress update: 29/1/12

Charlie is about 2 years old.
He gets on well with other dogs and our cat, who treats him with utter comtempt as he is the same size as her.
She has had a go at playing with him but he’s not too sure of her.
He is good off the lead and enjoys chasing a ball which he then carries around.
He does whine a bit when people leave for work/school but it doesn’t last long and he is very happy to see you when you arrive home.
He is learning to sit and wait for his food but this is a work in progress.
All in all he’s a very happy chap.

Sam has now found a home !!

Sam is 7 years +, a large Springer Spaniel, 25 kg +, black and white, powerful.
Loves: – Walks, company, food (but is not greedy), cars (especially Land Rover Discoveries!) people (especially men), Radio 4!
He is good with other dogs, children and likes going to the pub!
He is house trained and obedient (but can be stubborn).
I am pretty sure he has been a gun dog in the past.
He does pull on the lead but this can be overcome.
