Squeaky the guinea pig

progress update:  9th June

We have found a new home for Squeaky !

This is the last guinea pig we have to home.

He was one of 20 Guinea pigs that we recently took in.

We don’t usually take in
small animals but these were an emergency.

He is young and a male.

We will be looking for a home that understands the need for him to get
out into a run in the sunshine.

Max


“Just a quick update to let you know how Max one of the Irish pups is
getting on.

It wasnt as easy as we thought it would be, there was no
fighting but a little growling, however they are getting on fine now.
although Max does love Holly more than she loves him.

He is booked in for puppy classes this week and has had his second vaccination.

He never stops but he is a lovely dog who already sits and lies down and
he hasnt got a bad bone in him.

He has settled in well.

Thanks again for Max and we will keep you posted as he grows up
Thanks John and Hazel”

Jack

Jack has gone to live with Michelle near Wimborne.

He will have plenty of attention and company and lots of fields to run in!

Jack has settled in very well and is enjoying the country life.

He is a wonderful dog with a superb temperament and

I think I am very lucky to have him as my new friend.

Best Wishes
Michele

Tigger

progress update: 30th May

Tigger is now settling into his new home!

Tigger is a 12 week old terrier, he needs a home with another dog as he hates to be on his own.

He gets on with cats, the feral cat where he is fostered quickly taught him that chasing cats is not on.

As with any puppy he will need training and will soon be testing his new teeth out on the furniture.

Terriers are strong minded dogs and Tigger is very confident.

Sweeny


A spayed female collie approx 1yr

She loves nothing more in life than to sit as close as possible to you and spend hours being stroked.

She gets on with other dogs but is really a people person so
we are looking for a home where she can be the only dog and
have all the hugs to herself!

She is still timid with strangers and
takes a while to acquaint herself with new people.
As she has always been a country girl she is frightened of traffic
and it has to be said in her defence that cars are rather
noisy and smell!
She will need a kind, patient home where she can gain confidence.

She stayed with Claire this weekend to get her used to different people
and she was taken for long walks on the beach.

Progress update: 30th April

In Sweeney’s description we said that we felt she would be
better as an only dog because she likes all the cuddles.
But now that Sweeney has setled down and become used to being part of
a pack, we think that she would be fine with another dog.
She loves to play and chase the other dogs when on walks.

Her mother told her when young that all good Collies race ahead and crouch down
ready for the next movement and Sweeney has heeded her mother’s advice!

Sweeney is another dog that would be good for agility or flyball with
extra training.

progress update: 17th May

Sweeney is now settling in to her new home!

Cecil

Cecil arrived with a neck wound caused by the dog he used to live with.

Cecil has gone to his new home, his neck wound cleared up well.

Claire who helps walking the dogs took him home to foster him last weekend
and over the weekend managed to get the last of the matted hair away
from his wound.

When he came back to the rescue on Sunday eve the wound was clear and clean.

After a check by the vet we felt he was ready to go to his new life.

Cecil has settled well into his new home.

Oscar

“Just a quick mail to let you know that Oscar has settled in really well with us.
He is growing fast and the kids love him !
He is really well behaved for a puppy and was house clean again within a couple of days.
He still gives us a little spray when he is excited but I guess thats a compliment !”
Polly

Bernie

Fozzy and Bernie

“Just to let you know ‘Bernie’ has settled in fine and he and my goldie
Fozzy are getting on really well. The cats aren’t so sure yet, but he
is fine with them. I shut him and Fozzy in the bedroom with me and he
slept on the bed all night!”

Ian

Progress update: April 27th

He loves going out and is really good off the lead

(not on the road of course)…

He loves the beach – but isn’t keen on getting his feet wet…

He’s got a lovely temperament and I know he will grow up to be a brilliant dog!

Kind regards

Ian

Fun Day Dog Show Fundraiser

Last year we all had a great day at our annual fundraising Fun Dog Show.
The weather was perfect, not too hot and remained dry all day.

We raised £2031.09 for the rescue, which was more than any of us expected
and as the funds were down to the last £110.00 in the bank and the bills were mounting up our prayers answered.

Once again Nigel, Pat, Kate, Mark and Anne held the dog show at their farm and rallied on the day to ensure it was a success: helping with the setting up, running the stalls, judging in the rings and helping to clear up at the end of the day.

Thank you!

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone else who also helped on the day.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you to evryone who helped and brought their dogs for the displays.

The Friendly Dog Club very kindly came again and put on a fantastic display.
The Hampshire Harriers Flyball Team ran a fun agility ring for us.

Thanks also to the Newfoundland Water
Rescue and Canine Agility Centre

who did a heelwork to music display

Thanks also to Elaine of
