saving DAWGdogs since 1987
This is Lucy the 12 year old Collie Cross that came in earlier this week.
She was only at the Rescue for a day when lovely Mr Goddard who had sadly lost his elderly dog came to see her
– it was love at first sight for both of them!
This is the lovely Monty Yorkie, lovely friendly little chap 3 years old.
Hi Helen ..
here is a recent photo of the lovely Monty, he has settled in well ,
love a bath pampering session, loves walks and TV….apart from that im speechless .
I think he may be suited to a quiet home without too much noise.
He is a great chap and will make someone very happy who are used to terrier types.

Bailey. collie cross, young adult.very playful, enjoys a nice long walk. Not bad on a lead settles down quite quickly.
Previously described as a Collie cross Dalmation I think he is a mixture with a bit of Collie in him somewhere!
Bailey is a half collie half dalmatian around 12 months old,
He is seen here getting dried off after a good walk with Natalie of Dogs-N-Joy dog walking service who kindly volunteers to ensure that all the dogs including Mutley and Spike get plenty of good walks!

Hello again all!
This time of year all dogs with any sense, and quite a lot with none, who live near the sea love to go to the beach.
There is something so satisfying about stretching out on the hot sand, having a snooze, getting too hot, having a paddle or a swim, getting too cold, and then having a snooze in the sun to warm up again.
Helen does this a lot whilst I prefer to dig sand all over people covered in sun-cream!
Dogs also like doing these things and especially as I’ve become a more mature dog I’ve really started to appreciate the finer points of living near the beach;
Lolling in my deckchair, sipping cool lemonade through a straw with my sunglasses on, or maybe even enjoying having an ice-cream if Helen will go oblige and fetch one, breathing in the salty sea air and distant smells of someone’s-food-not-too-far-away-to be-investigated-when-Helen-is not-looking.
At times like these even my blasted muzzle can be imagined to be a designer fashion accessory worn by a discerning fellow to prevent a Dog About Town getting his nose sunburnt.
Of course there are drawbacks; the angry shouting about Which Dog Stole The Small Child’s Ball, the inevitable holiday snaps featuring one in a compromising position with someone else’s sandwiches, the lack of privacy when one is caught short unless one goes in the sea, the sand going up your muzzle when you try and pick up things you’ve been told to leave well alone and amongst these I count my companion Spike and his incessant barking, here captured on cctv footage whilst I was just trying to chill out and be sociable to The World At Large as usual.
I can’t work out why he is always so noisy whenever we go to the beach. You’ll see that I have a devil of a time trying to shut him up…

Well, I have been here at Jeff’s for three weeks and having myself a splendid time.
I get on well with everyone at the pub and whilst there have met a few shrunken humans I think you call them children – not as cute as puppies that’s for sure but entertaining enough and I was on my best behaviour with them.
I love my forest walks and racing round Jeff’s extended garden with his motley crew.
I hope that soon someone will realise what an entertaining and funny companion I am and offer me a home.
This is Alfie he is a year old Boxer , playful and full of bounce.
He gets on well with other dogs.
He is fostering with Jeff and his five dogs and is now partaking in a lunchtime drink at the pub with Jeff and his cronies.
Soon he will be putting the world to rights like Jess did before she went to her new home!
Ed is one of the 12 week old Collie cross puppies who arrived on Wednesday.
Hi Helen,
Was really nice to speak to You ! Despite it being for Sad reasons !
Thank you SO much for allowing us to have so many wonderful years with our Beautiful girl !!
I have attached a couple of photo’s for you.. Tho she has changed colour considerably, you should still recognise her !!
She was a lot more red around her neck and head back when we got her , 1995 I think !!! ( like all us old girls, the grey snuck in ! )
Hopefully you will still have the photo you took the day we brought her home.. If you do have it , could you possibly let me have a copy ???
Thanks again ! xxxx
Jo ..

I met Shutz today and what a delicious dog he is.
We don’t think he is as old as 10 years as is teeth are quite good for a Yorkie more like 8 years old. He loves to lie on his back and have his tummy tickled as you can see from the photo,
he spent a lot of time like this when out in the car with us today.
He is good with dogs and children.

This is Holly with Dan, a young leader at cubs.
She had only just met him…all the cubs made a fuss of her and she sat in the middle of them and rolled over for a cuddle.
Holly is good with cats and good with children and other dogs.
