Lost and stolen dogs needing your help

Lurcher –  Saluki x – bitch (entire)
Saluki type coat
Red and white
Feathered ears and tail. Has an old injury – broken hock so moves unevenly.
Height: 23 ins
Name is “Ellie”
Stolen from: Lambourne, Berks. very recently
Circumstance of loss: Stolen from a locked car in Lambourn.
Additional Info:  She featured in The Field several months ago in an article on Lurchers. She had just had a litter and, sadly, is in season again. She was a finalist about 3 years ago in the Foley Cup and has already been stolen once before. Happily “they” returned her, breaking her left hock whilst doing so. She is the sweetest gentlest person who sleeps in bed – and I can’t bear to think what she is going through. She is such a good bitch I think they will not dump her, it will just be if they run her and she doesn’t come back she will have a chance of “rescue”.


UPDATE:  Ellie the Jack Russell x Yorkshire Terrier missing from Reading has been found. Apparently 3 youths had picked her up and were offering her for sale! However the owner was contacted by someone after seeing posters and they got her back.

Bob ( a.k.a Spike )

progress update: 16th Aug

I just wanted to give you a quick update on Spike’s progress.
Spike (aka Bob) settled very well and remarkably quickly.
He is a fantastic dog and I couldn’t have got a better friend for Pebbles.
He adores his new friend Pebbles and plays with her for the majority of everyday.
He is attending his Citizens Obedience classes and is doing fantastic and I am sure he will soon be at Gold level along with Pebbles.
He has been to a few local dogs shows where he is much loved and came 3rd in his Best Rescue Dog class.
He sure is a cheeky little monkey that loves to run around at the stables and do what dogs do best
(get very dirty!).
I will endeavour to send you some pictures in the near future.

progress update: 28th June

This week Spike went to his new home in Weymouth!

Spike is a cairn terrier cross.

He’s a lovely little dog, friendly and happy when he gets to know you.

He’s very laid back and easy going and no trouble to have around,
he hasn’t chewed anything so far not even toys that he can!!

He tends to ignore our cat and is not overly interested in our ferrets.

He is a dream to walk as he doesn’t pull and isn’t afraid of even the noisiest of cars.
He does know his name and does come back in the garden when called although I haven’t had him off the lead out walking yet.

I believe he would make a lovely dog for an older family as he doesn’t seem very playful but having said that he does have his moments and he might become more playful as time goes on.

We’ve only heard him bark once when a neighbor poked his head over the fence unexpectedly but soon made friends!!!

Thanks to Jackie, who is currently fostering Spike,

for this write-up !

[ Just to save any possible confusion with some of the Diaries entries,

this Spike is not the same Spike that is Helen’s own dog! ]


Tanner

progress update: 16th Aug

Tanner is going to his new home today !!

progress update: 12th Aug

Tanner’s blood test results were clear so now he will soon be going to

his new home in Devon with another dog and some horses !!

progress update: 7th July

Tanner is a gorgeous, four year old lurcher, who just loves everyone!

In the two weeks Tanner has been staying with me,
he has become a very loyal friend and is responding well to training.

Tanner loves children, gets on well with other dogs, and could possibly live with a cat (testing needed!)

All in all, Tanner would make a great family pet.

progress update : 28th June

Tanner is 4 years old and arrived into the rescue extremely thin,

he is now in a foster home who is working on fattening him up.

He also had blood tests and his teeth cleaned.

He is good with dogs and children.


Billy and Basil

progress update: 2nd Sep

Billy and Basil have now been re-homed !!

Billy & Basil are border terriers just over 4 years old

They have come from a good home but unfortunately now need to find a new one.

They are KC registered, micro chipped and up to date with worming and vaccinations.

They wouldn’t be ok with cats as they always chase them
but have never caught one-thankfully-and they would probably be best
without other dogs as they can get over excited around them.

They are used to children aged 4 – 8

Looking Really Good

I only barked at one other dog today,
and Helen took my lead and then told me to “Shut Up!”
and I didn’t bite her!

See how much I’ve improved!!

So then I sat down and Looked Really Good

A Proper Person

I must clean off my paws before I get into the Volvo.
I must clean off my paws before I get into the Volvo.
I must clean off my paws before I get into the Volvo.
I must clean off my paws before I get into the Volvo.
I must clean off my paws before I get into the Volvo.
I must clean off my paws before I get into the Volvo.

The front is a No Dog Zone, it is for Proper People Only but it is an essential part of my training.
On the way to the walk I put my muddy front paws on the dashboard like I’ve seen the man do on the advert on the telly.

But on the way back I’m very good and sit like I’m a Proper Person on the front seat.

Maybe they think I am a Proper Person now!
