After the passing of our two rescue dogs Patch & Molly so close together,
(Molly was a sweet and loving DAWG dog who was with us for 12 yrs), it was a very sad time.
Channeling our upset into something positive, enter Barney as a foster placement…..well,
we took one look at him and knew he’d found his forever home !
He settled quickly and has been with us for over 6 months now.
Such a wonderful little chap, Barney loves everyone and everyone loves Barney !
He’s full of character, very affectionate and brought much happiness to the family.
Thank you so much for him Helen, he’s adorable.
Thought you would like these photos of Barney and his friends.

Pepper

Pepper has now found a home !!

progress update: 18/2/14

Pepper is 8 years old , a lovely girl. She gets on with dogs and children.

Peppa (1)

Pepper is such a lovely little girl, wants cuddles and to be with you.
She is clean day and night and sleeps to about 4/4.30 when she will let you know that she needs to go out for the toilet, but goes straight back to bed.
She has taken an interest in our rats and the local cats when she is sat on the window sill.
Pepper loves her walks and cuddles after when being dried.
She gets on well with Maddie our dog and loves the attention our boys show her.
She does as she is told, although can be cheeky when it’s feeding time and will sneak up behind you.
I haven’t let her off lead and she does pull, like most little dogs I see being walked!

Pepper

Meet Pepper, she has only been with us a couple of hours.
She’s asked to go out for the toilet, very sweet girl indeed.
Will update again when she’s settled

 

Toby the King Charles spaniel

Toby has now found a home !!

progress update: 16/2/14

We’ve had Toby for a couple of weeks now and he is a real character.
Before he settles down for a nap he looks around for something he can take and guard,  paper, tissue, plastic bag, hat. glove, towel, anything.
He then takes it to bed and looks at you as if to say “come and get it”.
We don’t, we wait till he falls asleep and then take it.
You can stroke and pet him when he is guarding as long as you don’t go near it.

He loves his walks and gets very excited and now he has lost a bit of weight he can even get all four feet in the air.
Toby loves to meet other dogs and will run the length of the field to say hello, but then usually looks to see where you are and then I can signal to him to come back as he is quite deaf so calling is no good.
He will chase the cat but he knows he shouldn’t as he runs away so could only live with a confident cat.
Toby makes me smile at least a couple of times a day with his foibles.
He would make an ideal companion for an older person who doesn’t have young children because of his guarding as he will snap if challenged.

Toby KCS (6)

Toby KCS (9)

Toby KCS (5)

progress update: 31/1/14

He’s quite a nice dog, gets on well with other dogs and although a bit possessive it’s not unmanageable.
I let him of the lead today and he came back easily enough.
He would suit an adult household.

Just arrived approx 8yrs old King Charles Spaniel, bit overweight so plenty of exercise needed.
More to follow once he has settled in with us.

 

Thank You To LV Group!

We would like to thank Liverpool Victoria Insurance Group and all the employees who voted for our Rescue to receive a donation of £2,500.

This donation to the Rescue is a tremendous help with vet bills and the costs of looking after the dogs that come in.

Thank you from all at DAWGdogs!
