Douglas

Douglas has now found a home !!

progress update: 16/5/15

Hi Helen,

Just thought we’d drop you an email and let you know how things are going with Douglas.
We really couldn’t ask for a better dog.
His walking on the lead is improving once he gets over the initial excitement, and off the lead he never strays more than 15 metres away.
Seems completely house trained, as no accidents so far, and has already learnt how to tell us if he wants to go outside.
He plays with all his toys nicely, and hasn’t shown any destructive behaviour apart from with sticks!
He doesn’t beg when we are eating, isn’t bothered by noise or other dogs outside the window.
We could go on and on.
Feel free to come and visit at the pub whenever you like

Andy

More foster homes needed !

Could you offer a Foster Home to a rescued dog until they can find a permanent home?

Every foster home we have means another dog whose life we can save.

We are looking for people who have homes with well enclosed gardens and who are at home for most of the day.

The dogs that we care for are all different, the only thing they all have in common is that they all deserve a better life!

Many of the dogs will be in poor condition on arrival.

Some are underweight, others may have skin complaints or injuries, some will have been very badly treated and spent a life living in fear of the next blow.

This is where the foster homes come in.

It is their job to build the dogs up, returning them to a a good state of health, and above all the foster home will need to teach the dogs that not all people are bad!

Some of the dogs have never lived in family homes and therefore they need to be taught some manners, for example, shoes are not for teething on, settees are not for sleeping on, gardens are not for digging in and it is not acceptable to help themselves from the fridge or table.

On arrival all dogs are stressed, sometimes from a long journey, and inevitably they will get upset tummies so you may feel as though you are spending all day with a mop in your hand!!

All food, bedding and vets expenses are paid for by D.A.W.G, so it will not stretch your finances, however it may stretch your patience!! It also helps to have a car to collect the dogs and also to take the dogs to our vet when needed.

Fostering can be messy, upsetting and hard work, but the feeling you get from knowing you have made a real difference makes it all worthwhile.

If you are unable to foster a dog full time but are able to on the weekends,
we always have dogs that would appreciate a weekend of TLC and undivided attention !

If you could give some care and attention to a recently rescued dog to ease the time that they spend whilst awaiting a permanent home,

then please
