Alfie has now found a home !!!

Alfie is a 4 year old JRT cross.
He was rehomed due to previous family getting a puppy and not wanting
him anymore. He then went to another home which was incapable of
looking after him.

Alfie loves the company of other dogs when he gets used to them, and
would prefer a quiet home without younger children.
He can be a little protective over food and treats but this isn’t a
problem when managed. He is a lovely cuddly boy who loves regular
walks and exercise.

Yasmin, Cookie, Jess, Carla and Teddy have all now found homes!

A big “Thank you!” to Ann who fostered Kim and Sheba.

They went to her terrified to get within touching distance of people and who

( after Ann had spent hours just sitting in a chair by them)

changed into confident, sociable dogs before going  new homes.

Kim and Sheba have both now found homes !!

We have never been out of a shed before and today for the first time
we went in a car.
After a while we looked out of the window and there was so much to look at.
When we arrived at the rescue we couldn’t believe it the door was open and we went into the sun.
We are not sure what to make of all this and are staying away from Helen and running
and hiding in our bed.
We heard her say that we will soon learn that life has improved and to be stroked and cuddled.
Bracken has already got into the cuddling thing.
Clive is ok and we quite like playing with him, he says there is a whole new world out there for us to discover.
It is so nice to stretch our legs and to run up and down outside.
We have never slept on blankets before and they are extremely comfortable and
there is also a heater on in our room at night !!
This is all very new to us.

He has now been rehomed with Walter !

Daisy has now been rehomed !!

Stop press!

Walter has already found a new home with Roger and Veronique who have rescued a DAWGdog in the past!

Hi Helen

A couple of pictures of Walter for the web site.
After his long journey yesterday, Walter slept like a log last night.
In fact I had to nudge him to wake him up this morning!
Walter is absolutely gorgeous, very sweet natured but desperate for some TLC.
He is so thin and very stiff but perhaps when he has a bit of fat on him that will ease.
He seems a little hard of hearing but does come to you with body language and
food! I think he will enjoy the BBQ tonight!!
Have had the usual “can we keep him” from Jem!
Speak soon, Jane ox

Walter came from a farmer who had decided he was no longer of use to them.
He is seven years old and has a lovely gentle nature.
He is thin and is on extra rations to bring him up to weight.

He is fostering with the Ferguson Family and Ozzie their dog.

If you think that you may be able to provide

a good home

please contact Helen

or email helen@dawgdogs.net

for more details!

We will usually only rehome within approx 30miles of the Bournemouth/Poole area

in order that we can ensure the continued well-being of the dogs in our care.

We will sometimes re-home further afield to this but only if the homes are exceptional.

We are NOT looking for just ANY home that is offered.

All potential homes will be assessed to try and ensure the best possible home to cater for the differing needs of each individual dog that we look after.
