Harry

Updated February 12, 2020 Categories: dogs, progress updates, successfully rehomed.

Harry has now found a home !!

Harry is a lovely dog.
A young and active Collie who needs a good run everyday.
He has met lots of other dogs while out and likes nothing more than a good game of chase with them.
His recall is fantastic and he comes back to check where I am without being called.
He has at the moment a lot of built up energy which needs to be run off over the next week or two.
Not sure his recall would be so instant if there was a squirrel or bird to chase and I doubt he would be good with cats and he is not good with chickens.

When on a walk if no other dogs to play with he will find a stick and toss it up in the air to catch and run after.
Today he was very pleased because he found a long abandoned football to throw around and drop for me to kick for him.
He is not used to traffic as previously he didn’t live in place where he encountered it, and it is all a bit much for him to take in at the moment.
Cars move so fast …..
He travels well in a car but is not keen on jumping into one although he is happy to be picked up and put in the back.

If you may be able to offer a home

please call Helen on 01202 380467

Phone calls & messages are usually only taken during office hours Mon – Sat.

Emails and Facebook messages can usually only be responded to within 3 days,

so please be patient if you don’t get an answer straight away:

Helen is often too busy to explain how busy she is!

We usually only rehome within approx. 50 miles of the Bournemouth / Poole area
so that we can ensure the continued well-being of the dogs in our care.
We will only rehome further afield 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 rescue

Pickles

Pickles has now found a home !!

progress update: 18/12/2019

Pickles has come back to us, much to the dismay of the lady who adopted her from the Rescue, due to family illness.
Pickles is very sociable with dogs, people and children and a lovely girl.

She is looking absolutely gorgeous after her pamper session at the groomers today and everyone loved her.
She is such a gorgeous girl, so well behaved with my children and other dogs.
Good on the lead, clean in the house and just a lovely lady.
She is happy with just a walk round the block as much as a long walk in the forest.

REHOMED !!

progress update: 04/12/2019

Honey (previously Lexy) settled in within a few minutes!
She’s experienced horses, cows, shops etc and is learning so much.
We love her and she’s getting on with our other lurcher Holly too

Lexy has now found a home !!

Lexy has been with us for a couple of weeks, coming from a home that could no longer keep her.
She is 20 weeks old and for a young girl she learns incredibly fast.
Within a couple of days she was clean in the house and off the lead with my dogs.
She knows sit and worked out by herself down, and that when fundraising and meeting new people, if she sat and didn’t get a treat she would go into a down to see if that got her one. Clever girl!
Yesterday, in the forest she went on ahead of us a little further then she normally does.
I called her back and she raced back.
Just twice doing this and she would go the same distance ahead and then stop, look back and wait to see if it was okay to go on more.
She is filling in her application form to go on Mastermind as I type this.

REHOMED !!

progress update: 04/12/2019

When we first had Chase I discovered Watercombe Dogs near Dorchester had a secure meadow which I was able to hire by the hour and let Chase run free in complete safety whilst she was getting to know us.
She is now 11 months old and has successfully completed a Recall and Relationship course at Watercombe.

Alani has now found a home !!

progress update: 01/12/2019

Alani had her first outing on a bus last week with Lianne.
She liked to look out of the window and watch the world go by.

progress update: 19/11/2019

Today Mark and I took Alani and the other dogs to Wareham forest and we let her off the lead.
I somehow knew she would stay close to the other dogs which she did bless her.
Very soon she was coming back to Mark without calling and trotting by his side for a few minutes before running off again.
I took her to the vet this evening as I had noticed that she cried when she shook her head.
She has an ear infection which is being treated and should soon clear up.
What a absolutely lovely dog she is

Alani arrived on Sunday.
She came from a dog pound having been a stray not claimed.
She has settled in really well with the other dogs and today she goes on her first walk to the forest.
She is clean in the house too which considering she has spent the last two weeks in a kennel is very good .
She is medium height and a Lurcher.
