Here is the amazing Bryton – he is 7 years old and a very well mannered boy. He is a cross – we are still debating with what! But he does have the heart of a terrier – and is a bright boy that loves the great outdoors. He is fine with other dogs – somewhat indifferent to them in his own home. He has been ok with cats – but is starting to show more interest in them…so we are not sure if he will be good with them long term. He is fine with people, and very polite.

He minds his manners and is a very calm and gentle boy. The reality for Bryton is that he needs an outdoor lifestyle. He seems almost depressed indoors – but when he is out in the great wide smelly world – he really comes into his own. Nose to the ground, feeling the wind in his wirey beard, wagging his bum and stumpy tail. He looks to you for guidance – so would need a person that has dog experience and will help him understand what is expected of him. He should go to a home that is prepared to work his brain – he is a bright boy that loves learning and living. He has been fine in most situations, but does suffer mild car sickness. But just a fantastic boy and will make a super companion.

He is microchipped, passported, fully vaccinated and neutered.  Currently fostered in Essex. Preferably no cats or small furries.  Children: 10+

Zippy & Zappy Small Terrier brothers

2 males, neutered, approx age 18 months – 24 months

These wonderful boys were saved from an unknown fate in a Spanish perrera, they are terrier crosses and we have had great fun in guessing their heritage – our most popular suggestions are Norfolk, Cairn, Yorkshire terrier – so a Nocayork terrier!

They are the dynamic duo – they must be rehomed together as these are very bonded brothers. When they first arrived they were very uncertain and timid, but with patience and reassurance the boys have blossomed. They are bundles of fun with an infectious energy.

They have learned to play with toys and love nothing more than a game of chase-me – indoors or out. They are devoted to eachother – sharing food and toys – and have no possession or aggression issues. This is also true with other dogs. They can be wary of big dogs (they are only little!) but soon relax and play.

They travel well in the car, and are fine with most people – they can be wary of some men – so gentle introductions at first – if they are frightened they bark at the offender – but can be brought round with some kind encouragement.

They love to be near you and will cuddle and kiss you. A personal favourite of their foster – is their game of dragging themselves round the floor froggy legged – they do this while playing chase-me – such a hilarious pair of boys.

They do suffer from some separation anxiety – they are desperate for human interaction – so the thought of being left alone causes them stress. This manifests itself in barking/crying for about 15-20 minutes and they have also been known to have stress piddles in the hallway – this is being worked on and we are using different distraction techniques – this will be explained to any prospective applicant. But it is something that will need to be continued and built upon. Considering how much they have changed/adapted in such a short period – we are sure they will improve with their anxiety if it is worked on with patience and time.

They would best suit a home where they will not be left on a regular basis, and a household that will have the patience and compassion to give them that time to develop.

We are only looking to rehome them together.

Both boys have their passports, are neutered and are fully vaccinated.

No cats or small furries.  Children: 10+

Rex – fox terrier cross

rex2 Rex1 PerriandRexwithboy PerryandRex

Please  Rex – a young fox terrier cross – he was in Spain with Perri – our other Terrier Cross
They were part of a family..but the parents got divorced and the dogs got forgotten.  The mother was working full time and could not cope with children and dogs – so the dogs were either chained up in a yard or were allowed to roam free on the streets.
The dogs were at risk, and it is a miracle they did not get hit by a car.  They are wonderful young boys – both fox terrier crosses.
Rex is neutered, fully vaccinated, and has a passport.  They are great with people, and other dogs (with some males Rex can be a little growly – but soon settles with a verbal correction)
No cats or small furries.  Children: 10+

Basil

[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”basil”]

This young boy was abandoned at a perrera in Badajoz – we were asked to help and reserved him on his final day, before he was due to be put down.  He is young and was paralysed with fear at the pound.  He has recently arrived in the UK and this is what his foster says about him:

“Basil was very quiet at first choosing not to engage with us, preferring to sit at the other end of the room and stay out of the way. He didn’t seek out human contact and was not familiar with any name given.

After a few days and one rather large haircut he was like a new dog, he was beginning to respond to his new name and becoming familiar with the house routine. He even began seeking out human affection, nudging your hand for ear scratches!

Now having spent a few weeks with Basil, I feel we are really seeing his true character. He is a quiet dog, he rarely barks, only when encouraged by our resident dog (naughty Pootle) and only if there happens to be a rather brave cat in the garden.

He loves to watch TV and he really does watch it! I have caught him jumping up on to the cabinet and licking the screen (so funny and no damage done) Basil also likes to people watch, one of his favourite places is sitting on the windowsill watching the world go by.

Basil is a very clean dog, he’s not had one accident in the house. He loves being groomed and will sit still for you to brush him (I think he’d let you do it all day).

Walking Basil is a real pleasure, he doesn’t pull at all (unheard of I know) and off lead he never wanders too far and always comes back when called! (I’m not sure he’s a terrier at all)

Basil’s biggest problem is car sickness, he’s getting better and doesn’t suffer as badly if walked well beforehand but he still nonetheless suffers. On short journeys he drools but longer ones he is actually sick.

You can leave Basil for a few hours, he can be trusted not to chew or get into the bins and has displayed no destructive behaviour towards the house. If however you have a tennis ball or fluffy toy it’s game over!

When Basil gets excited he likes to nibble, no malice intended but he can sometimes forget just how strong and sharp his teeth are. We are working on this and he has improved greatly.

He doesn’t do tricks like paw or sit but he settles really quickly and in every way a happy dog who just wants to be your best friend – I love him to bits!!

Basil likes to sleep in the hallway at night, he will have a cuddle on the bed but then get off and find his own space. He also likes lying on the floor and is happy to not get on the furniture (I always encourage him to come up and have cuddles) Basil also doesn’t beg for food, he will quietly go lie down when it’s your dinner time.

Basil has been eating a dry diet which he loves, he will also eat chicken and cheese.

Really can’t praise this special boy enough, he is in many ways the perfect dog, who ever gets to be his best forever friend really is so very lucky. ”

Please note his former ‘owners’ cut off his tail and part of his ears – thankfully they seem to have healed fine.

After everything he has gone through, this lovely dog deserves a loving family of his own, please download our application form TerrierSOSQuestionnaireMay2015

Basil is microchipped, passported, fully vaccinated, and spayed.  Sorry no cats or small furries.  Children: 10+

Lili Female Miniature Schnauzer

after-70 Brinselfie

We have received many applications for Lili in a short time – no new applications for her accepted at this stage – but if Lili brought you here please take the time to look at our other dogs. This delightful doll came from one of the many killing stations in Spain. She had been abandoned by her owner – like so many just before Christmas. Although not strictly a terrier – she melted our hearts – and she is now with a foster in the UK with Terrier SOS rescue.

Lili is a young girl, she is approx 2 years old, she is a Mini Schnauzer and a real cutie. Lili is a fabulous dog – she is housetrained, walks well on lead, has recall (when bonded with you) , she is fine with other dogs out and about. Lili loves to play with her toys, and she will protect your garden from any unwanted birds! She loves being cuddled, having her ears scratched and laying on her back in the sunshine.

Although she is fine with the foster dog, she has shown some signs of jealousy – and will barge the other dog out of the way so she gets all the attention, so we feel a home where she can get all the attention is best.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this dog so we are looking for an equally wonderful home.

Lili is microchipped, passported, fully vaccinated, and spayed.  She is currently fostered in Dorset.
