Hetty – Welsh Terrier – Reserved

Update – sadly HEtty has been returned to rescue – she was exhibiting many behaviours that were not expected and we felt it would be best she returns to rescue and she can be assessed and given some help and guidance.  We will do updates

Please say Hello to Hetty! Her family have had a job placement overseas – and they initially wanted her to join them – but they feel the long journey and the tropical location would not suit her and have made the difficult decision to find a new home for her. She is in foster in Crewe and is safe – so we are looking for the right home for her

Hetty is a lovely girl. She is 6 years old , Travels well in the car, fully vaccinated (has EU passport) and has no known health problems. She has a normal routine with her family – walks in the morning – can be left for short periods, she has the run of the house and is no problem. She has an evening walk then will go onto her chair and watch TV with her humans.

She loves her games and toys – and will de-stuff any soft toy in 5 seconds flat. She s a typical terrier and will bark when someone comes to the door or if she needs to tell the birds off – but once she has said what she needs to say she settles.

She is friendly with most dogs – can be selective (which is perfectly normal for a Welshie!) Cannot be left off lead as her recall is also selective

So a super all round Welsh Terrier – but she does have one vice – she will guard her bed at night. She doesn’t bite and has never bitten – but at night she will not tolerate any passers by – once she is in bed she must be left alone. She is used to sleeping downstairs – we have a plan in place to support any prospective family and you must follow our guidance. But this also means she cannot live with children – she does live with a dog and could live with a relaxed dog.

If you feel you are suitable, please complete a Homing Questionnaire – thank you

Gryff – Welsh Terrier

Update – January 2024

Sadly Gryff has returned to rescue.  He was adopted and much loved.  He was a wonderful companion but sadly his owner had a life altering condition and was no longer able to properly care for him.  He has returned to rescue as we give life time back up for all our dogs.  You can see his write up from before below.  We do know he is a lovely dog – he walked well on lead, travelled well in car, could be left – a well behaved chap and really just needs the right home.  He stills needs to be an only dog in the home (he is fine with other dogs and has friends outside) – he is a cuddly dog and just enjoys life.  His condition is much better managed and we have got the medication level working for him.  He does like to dig – typical terrier – so that needs to be understood and you must like help digging holes in your garden or furniture!  he can be easily diverted – and put his energies into something more acceptable.

If you feel you are the right home for Gryff please let us know.

Please say Hello to our new Terrier SOS family member- this is the lovely Gryff

Gryff came to us as his family’s circumstances have changed – and this was proving to be too much for him to adapt and adjust to.  His family care for him very much – but realised they could no longer offer Gryff the calm environment that he desperately needs.  This has not been an easy decision for them- and we at rescue felt for them – but agreed that he needed a different home environment.

Gryff is a lovely Welsh Terrier – he is 5 years old, fully vaccinated and with full vet history.  Gryff originates from the UK and we have his full history.  He is now in kennels in Norfolk and is adjusting very well. 

Gryff has been diagnosed with epilepsy and is on medication for this.  He manages well, loves his food and treats and chews.  He is a very affable chap.  On walks, he can be reactive on lead to other dogs.  He has lived with dogs, but he would cope much better as an only dog and having humans to himself and he will only be rehomed to a dog free house.

He enjoys his walks, he enjoys people company, he travels well in the car, He has been clipped on a regular basis (he can be sensitive over his feet and face – so any prospective groomer would need to be patient and kind).  

He loves being with his family, will follow you round, get involved in your activities and also help landscape your garden.  He can be left for short periods – but fundamentally would like someone around most of the time.

Gryff has developed a few ‘quirks’ – some very typical of the Welsh Terrier breed and some not.  HOwever, we will discuss further with any suitable applicant.  Any family would need to visit him in NOrfolk at least a couple of times prior to adoption.

He cannot live with cats, small furries or young children.  

If you feel you can provide him the loving home he deserves – please complete a Homing Questionnaire – thank you

Terry – Airedale Terrier – Rehomed

This lovely boy came from Romania – the Rescue in Romania were contacted and the owner said that he no longer wanted the dog as he was too old (he is 3) – and had purchased an Airedale puppy. The rescue was told they either take him or the dog will be put on the streets.  The lovely Georgiana would not let it happen and despite being overwhelmed she took him and he was placed in private kennels. 

We had been watching this boy for a while and wanted to help but due to an unfair travel ban – we had to wait for the ban to be lifted before we could offer any help and get him rehomed in the UK

Thankfully the rescue entrusted us with his care and he came to the U.K. in December – our CHristmas Miracle!

He is a lovely airedale boy called Terry – approx 3 years old and is fine with other dogs and people.  He is currently in a foster home and is finding his paws – but we are all smitten.

No more worries for Terry – he is home.

Poppy – Terrier Cross – Rehomed

She is currently reserved pending checks

This is a lovely little Fox Terrier / Westie cross.  She is 6 years old and sadly she came into rescue after her owner passed away.  She has gone into temporary foster – she is said to be a sweetie,  She travels well, can be left for a few hours, was living with a cat – she has always lived on her own so we think as an only dog would be best.  She is not bothered by dogs when she is out on her walks – but can be a bit full on with the resident foster dog.  She has been a loved companion and loves to cuddle on the sofa or sleep by you on the bed 

Dolly – Doodle Cross – Rehomed

Update January 2023

She has settled well in her foster home and is a sweet and cheeky girl.  

The foster has gotten to know Dolly better and has found her a real delight.  She is everything a young dog should be and will make a wonderful family member.  Dolly is fine in the home, however, she is still learning to manage the outside world.

Dolly will bark at dogs when out on lead – she will also bark at people that she is unfamiliar with.  She drools excessively when traveling in the car.  She still is finding the outside world daunting – and thus her foster has limited her outdoor trips so she is not overwhelmed.  She will get there in time – but will need a family that has patience and compassion and not rush her.

She can be left for a couple of hours – but we would not rehome to any family planning on leaving her for long periods during the day.

As she is concerned of new people, any prosepctive home would need to visit several times at least – to get to know her and more importantly get her to feel safe in your company. 

She is a sweet little dog in a very large world and needs her family to be there for her.  

Update – Nov 2022

Dolly has now been spayed – she is now ready for the right home.  Dolly is a lovely dog and a very sweet cuddly girl.  She still needs support to turn into the best ‘outdoor’ girl she can be.  Although fine in the house – she does want to be near you and sit on your lap – she will cuddle up next to you on the bed.  She does react to outside sounds/noises – but this is easily managed. She does not like birds -and will keep your garden free of them!

She does not travel well – and will drool – we are extending her car trips.  But you will need to cover your back seat in towels 

Dolly’s biggest area that needs help is with walking – and very busy urban areas.  She will bark at other dogs – she is afraid of larger dogs and wants to jump in your arms to keep her safe.  We have worked on this – but it is a slow process – she is a dog that wasnt brought on much so she has to learn to ‘walk on by’.  So the foster is now bringing her to quiet places and this will continue for the foreseeable.  We have seen improvement so the new family will follow our methods

She loves people – and wants to greet everyone – so we are working on her not jumping up to say Hello.  Space is better for her – but we are keeping her world small and she is doing well.

She is still in many ways a puppy – a sweet, loving, happy puppy

She can live with another dog – but she can be overwhelming – so it wouldn’t be fair on older dogs.

 

———————————————————————————————————-

Although we do focus on terriers – we do help ‘friends’.  This girl’s family had a change of life – and they were placed in temporary accommodation – Sadly they werent allowed to bring their dog with them.  We were asked to help and of course we said yes for this little sweetie.

Dolly is about a year old , she is a Doodle Cross (about 8 kilos) – we aren’t sure the mix – but we are sure she is 100% a cutie.

Dolly is a lovely girl but very much still a puppy.  She will need guidance and support – she hasn’t had much of an outside life – so she has a habit of barking at things that make her unsure – this is usually dogs – but has been a large man with a beard too.  She also wants to be carried and uses this as a way of protecting herself from the scary world – We will work with any prospective home to help her gain her confidence and also lose the need to bark at things.  She does not need training , just patience and support.

She is fine with dogs – has avoided cats – loves most people – can be wary of some men.  

She is a lovely little dog, and will be a wonderful companion
