Harry – Wire Fox Terrier – Rehomed

We were approached by a volunteer in Romania – a fox terrier had been wandering the streets of a town for a month.  He had burns all across his body from a weed that irritates the skin – but this is where he had to live – in the field – as every person he turned to for help sent him away – sometimes through violence.  He was lost and hurt and we ere asked to help.  During his time on the street he found a little dog and the two became friends and inseparable.  So when we were asked if we could help him – we had to take her as well.  No one gets left behind.

We decided to call them Harry and Sally.  We will start with Harry’s story.  Harry is a young dog 2/3 years old – a fox terrier abandoned and fighting to stay alive in a rural town in Romania.  He was collected by a volunteer, Brought to the Vet – his skin was the immediate concern and treatment began that day.  In time he was vaccinated, neutered, groomed, and then brought to a kennel.  He stayed there until he could travel to the UK.  We were told he is shy (understandable) , fine with other dogs and desperate for human contact.

He was brought to the UK, and we slowly worked on getting to know him.  He is shy but sweet.  Very gentle in many ways – we aren’t sure if he ever lived in doors – he watches the TV, seems not bothered by general noises (washing machine/dryer, kettle and so on).  

What he does have is ‘sleep startle’ -this isn’t uncommon for dogs that have been abused.  When they are asleep – they have been threatened by people and this trauma means they can show teeth/growl when they are going into a deep sleep and get disturbed.  This can be managed – and we work with any adoptive family to learns ways to help him.  In our experience, when trust builds – this behaviour lessens.  But we must respect the trauma they have suffered and give them the time to process.

He is looking for a home that will give him that gentle introduction to life.  

Dexter – Wire Fox Terrier – Rehomed

This boy is with another rescue in Romania – we will move him to the UK when we find a suitable home- adoptive or foster

He was found wandering the streets in terrible condition – after 3 days of being ignored/ abused – the rescue found him and brought him to the kennels.   He Hada. Much needed groom and is in the process of getting ready for transport.

What we are told:  he is 1-2 years old, good with dogs and people – a little shy and needs a calm home to slowly adjust to everything

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
