Oscar having a lot of fuss for the first time since he arrived to us.
Now, he knows a hand means lots of stroking he is a different dog.
We let him off the lead today with a long lead attached to him just in case he legged it but he kept with us and came back when called.
It was just the best thing to see him enjoying himself so much.
As you may be able to tell from this write up Helen has got rather attached to him but not enough to deny him a new home I hasten to add.
He has moved to Geoff’s house today because he is still barking a bit when he is left and Helen has to work on Tues and Wed and she is sure that Niki who looks after the dogs when she is at work would not appreciate a dog keeping her awake at night.
He has slept in Helen’s bedroom in a crate at night and since Friday has been getting used to being left with the other dogs but still needs a little more time to settle down.
He was dropped to Geoff’s house today and as this is typed is at the pub with Geoff meeting Geoff’s friends and their dogs.

Oscar is three years old and a West Highland Terrier.
He gets on well with other dogs, he is still settling in at the moment having only arrived yesterday.
More to follow once we have got to know him a little better.

Well, here is Jonathan who with Keano and George plus Ozzie and Taylor is a permanent member of the Ferguson household .
Jonathan always professed to being fed up with the amount of foster dogs that Jane agrees to look after !!!!!!!!!
Our Dawgdogs Fun Show was a great success this year, the sun shone and lots of dogs and their people came along to support us.
lt was lovely to see so many of our ex Dawgdogs there.
A huge thank you to Kate who organised it all again and her parents Pat and Nigel who every year let us hold it at their farm.
Thank you also to everyone below who gave up their weekends to help on stalls, judge and help set the show up.
Also, to those that donated bottles and baked cakes.

This is Debbie with Dillion dog on a rope ( so called because he was kept in a dark building tied up)
As, you can see he is a much happier dog now!


It’s coming to that time of year again when are planning for our Annual Dog Show at Tiptoe on Sunday, 1st September, 2013.
After the success of our first auction held at the show last year, it would be very much appreciated if any local businesses were able to give us things we can auction – i.e restaurant vouchers, hairdresser/beauty treatments, hotel accommodation, food hampers, dog grooming etc.
We will also be looking for items we can raffle.
Also for our stalls we will need bottles, cakes, plants and dog items.
If you are able to help with any of the above, please contact Helen at the rescue – 01202 380467
or Kate on 079906 14091 or message us on Facebook.
Thank you for your continued support!
