Calisto was abandoned with another dog in a park in Northern Spain – they were picked up and placed in the local town kennels – they do not get held long here and are thrown in with a lot of other dogs. Someone came forward for his companion – but no one wanted Calisto. So he had days before they would end his life. We were contacted by a volunteer in Spain asking if we could help. You see Calisto is an older Fox Terrier and he is not quite ‘perfect’.
But we at Terrier SOS think he is beautiful and we want to find him the right home that will see the gem that he is. He is approx 6-7 years old. He’s has three deformities: on his jaw, he has a cleft palate and a deformity on his spine. The Vet has said none of these cause him any problems and he manages just fine. He does make noises when he breathes apparently – due to the cleft palate. He is perfectly healthy and has just been neutered. He had infections due to the many dog bites he received whilst in kennels and they are being treated.
He is currently in foster in Bournemouth and we would love an adoptive home for him – he is desperate for human attention. He is fine to live with other dogs – but no small furries. This is a special boy and we want a special home.
This beautiful hairy boy was brought to our attention by the wonderful volunteers working with the Valencia perrera. Rayo came from a hoarder that decided to surrender some of their dogs. Rayo was in a bad state, in need of a groom and some TLC. Well, we fell for him – hook, line and sinker! He has made his journey to the UK and is now in foster in Norfolk, awaiting his furever family. He is approx. 2 years old and from all accounts a very friendly boy.
We are looking for a terrier experienced home that understands terrier ways. He could live with another dog – but at this stage we are saying no small furries.
This is the beautiful Ziggy. He is now ready for a new home. Ziggy came from Spain a very petrified and fearful dog.
Whatever happened to him in Spain really made him scared of everything – but we have been working with him and his confidence is growing and we feel he is ready fro the next stage.
Please note that the family that adopts Ziggy will understand that everything must be at his pace – and he will have a very slow introduction into the greater world. His faith and trust in humans was severely tested in Spain and he will need to trust and bond with his new family and they cannot push him. Ziggy is a young dog and a very gentle soul – but we have done a lot to help him trust people and realise they will not hurt him – so we need that work continued. You will need to follow what we have done for him – you will also be a calm household with no young children, or lots of visitors. He could only live with a calm dog – but preferably on his own.
The photos are him groomed – he was frightened of any noise or sudden movement – so he was very gently scissored and given lots of breaks to adjust to sounds and people.
That is an example of the patience that will be needed for him – he will blossom into a gorgeous dog and companion – but this will not happen overnight – and it will be done at his pace with the support of his family. The prospective family will need to go to Norfolk to visit him.
Percy Sledge is now in Norfolk and he is being assessed. Another dog abandoned in a perrera – petrified – we have taken him from there and he is moved to boarding kennels. He is male, approx 2 years old – a fox terrier or fox terrier cross. He has been described as timid, but delightful.
Neutered, vaccinated, passeported.
No cats or small furries. Children: 10+ – Interested? Please download the form – thank you TerrierSOSQuestionnaireMay2015
This is the delightful Hobo – he is currently in need of a new home. He is 3 years old and has come from a breeding kennel in France that was shut down.
He is currently living in the UK and has taken to domestic life with all paws! The new home will need to be terrier experienced and continue his training and have the time for him. He loves living with people and being part of a family.
He is a lively fun little dog that is affectionate and wants to live life to the full. He travels well and has been the perfect companion in the car. He is quick to learn and a typical bright but somewhat ‘deaf’ fox terrier! He will need help walking on lead – which we will discuss with any prospective home – we will only consider a home with a garden – he could live with another dog or dogs – but no cats!
He is fully vaccinated, microchipped and passported
Neutered, vaccinated, passported. Children: 10+ – not cats or small furries.
