Sam

Sam has now been rehomed !!

This is Sam.
He is a 3 year old Border terrier cross Jackie.
He is a dear little dog, very bright and quick to learn.
100% with kids and other dogs, even if they have a pop he doesn’t retaliate.
He has been castrated, micro chipped and his jabs etc are up to date.

In his previous house, he hardly ever went for a walk.
He would pee around the house, escape from the garden so often he wasn’t allowed out unless on a lead, and bark almost constantly.
He was hit and kicked fairly regularly.

So far I haven’t had any pee, he goes in the garden whenever he feels like it as the back door is always open, and he has learnt the word ‘quiet’ when he does bark.
I have also taught him ‘sit’, ‘down’, and ‘wait’.
I think he’d be really good at agility.
He is walked daily on the Rec and I have had no real trouble with him at all.
He does chase off after other dogs, but he always comes back when called.

I think all he needs is some stability, some boundaries and lots of affection, he will make someone a cracking dog.
He’s really good fun.

Donations from Mr Barn’s funeral

We would like to thank Mrs Barns and her son Jason for their kind donation of £200 which was gifted instead of flowers from the funeral of Mr Barns.
We have been asked to use this money for the care of foxes of which Mr Barns was very fond, £40 has already been used to buy food for a family of foxes that having been coming to a garden every night.

Donations from Chris Hall’s funeral

Chris was a friend of Helen and a great lover and protector of all animals who will be missed by many people.
Chris’s brothers asked that instead of flowers donations were made to the rescue and a total of £95.00 was sent to the rescue.
This money will be used exclusively to pay for the transportation of pound dogs on death row and any money left over after petrol has been paid will be used to pay for kenneling of pound dogs until a a permanent place of safety can be found.

Animal Blessing Service at Wimbourne Minster

An Animal Blessing Service was held at Wimborne Minster church on 17th October and donations collected are to be given to the rescue. Angela and Ditsy attended and Ditsy was the model of good behaviour even changing the opinion of one lady who thought she would not be dog friendly as she has Staffordshire Bull Terrier in her mix. Ditsy was pleased to see all the dogs and people that turned up at the church.

This is the second one that Diann March has organised and we would like to thank her for once again thinking of Dawgdogs.

A total of £72.00 was raised and this is helping to pay for Jackson’s treatment. Jackson has Dermodectic mange and needs a lot of fresh food to build up his immunity and is under constant vet care.

progress update: 2/10/10

Timmy has now found a home!

Timmy arrived today and is a lovely little dog.
He responds well to commands and is very well mannered.
I haven’t had him off the lead yet but I have been told that his recall is good, we will wait and see.
I will do another update when I know him better.
