Sir Galahad – WFT – Rehomed

Sir Galahad is a Wire Fox Terrier lad, originally from Spain and now in the UK waiting for his forever home.

He’s a lively young chap (around 3 years old) and will need an active home to keep him busy and entertained.  He is both people and dog-friendly, though can be a little selective about other male dogs.  He has been neutered and has his passport.  He has tested positive for leishmaniasis (a parasite-borne disease transmitted by sandflies which causes skin issues) so is receiving treatment – but it is managed through medication and it isn’t slowing him down.

Leishmaniasis is a tropical non-contagious disease transmitted to dogs by a tiny sandfly in Mediterranean countries.  Leishmaniasis cannot currently be cured, but can be treated. A dog with leishmaniasis can live a happy and healthy life for many years. The usual treatment is with Alopurinol tablets, which are cheap and readily available as they are used for treatment of gout in humans. We support our families that adopt Leish positive dogs – and there are also several groups on Social Media that provide information and support.  Sir Galahad has the strain which attacks his organs, he is also allergic to the standard treatment, so is being treated with Auto Vaccination, which can take around 3 weeks to show any results.  He is responded well to treatment and has come to the UK.

Sir Galahad is a wonderful dog, but sadly we feel that his time on the street has made him nervous of others dogs outside the home.  He has shown a fear reaction when out on lead, we are working with a Behaviourist and have a plan in place for him.  Time and patience will help this boy find his confidence. 

Sir Galahad is currently in Norfolk.

Henry – Wire Fox Terrier – Rehomed

 

Henry is a wonderful fox terrier – he is about 5 years old –  he came into rescue after the Puppy Mill he was born into – was closed.  Henry had only known life in this Mill before he came to us.  He came with two kennel mates – both have been rehomed and have settled to life as a pet.  Henry was rehomed but sadly it did not work out.  

He is a wonderful dog and flourished in foster care.  His foster carer said:  

‘He is the most adorable puppy in a 4 year olds body I know! Since becoming part of the family he has experienced grass between his paws, strokes from friendly hands, cuddles (he loves those), the beach, car journeys (not so keen on those) and a whole host of other things. He is so willing to learn and please and nothing is better than seeing the wag of his tail.’

 
Henry went to his new home – where unfortunately things moved too fast for him.  He found the adjustment difficult and became stressed.  So it was felt it is better we find a home that can take things slower for him.  
 
Henry will need a home that is based in the South East.  We have a Behaviourist working with Henry and we would expect any new family to continue to work with the Behaviourist so that Henry gets the support he needs.  We have a plan in place for him, and will discuss further with interested applicants.  
 
The new family will need to have the time and patience for Henry and let him settle at his pace.  We have worked with Henry and he now is able to do short car journeys, we feel with time and support he could also become happier with long distance car journeys
 
Henry has benefited from being with larger dogs, he can be a bit overboard with smaller dogs.  So he could live with a larger , calm dog.  No young children and no small furries.

Henry needs a terrier-experienced home that is calm with good routines.  

Henry has been let down by people, he does have his quirks – but we think this makes him special and we know he will return all your love tenfold.  He is a rescue and as such has come into rescue because people have let him down.  This is not his fault, but it has left its mark on him, we think it is unfair and he deserves a chance.  Could you offer Henry the fab home he deserves?

He is located in kennels in Dartford

He is neutered and vaccinated. No cats or small furries, no children under 10 in the household.

Sooty & Sweep – Border Terrier Mixes – Rehomed

 

Sooty and Sweep are brothers, abandoned in a Spanish perrera.

We believe then to be around 5 or 6 years old and available to rehome as a pair or separately.

These poor chaps were left to die, having tested positive for Leishmania – a fully treatable disease, which will require regular monitoring, but well-treated has very low impact on their day-to-day life.  They have responded well to treatment after we stepped in to help, and are now in the UK (Norfolk)

They are a double bundle of energy – both dogs are sweet and dog friendly.  They have also tested well with cats.

These boys will need a home that has the time to help them settle, but they will make the perfect companion.

If you are interested in bringing a Sooty, Sweep or both into your home… Please fill in our TerrierSOSQuestionnaire2017 and return it to us, we look forward to hearing from you.

Scarlett – Border Terrier Mix – Rehomed

Let us introduce little Miss Scarlett, a little bundle of puppy fun! 
A dog that has had a poor start in life found as a stray, and she hasn’t even reached her first birthday yet, but that hasn’t affected her enthusiasm for all things new.  A clever little girl who will do anything for food or your approval, she likes nothing more than a rub behind the ear.  We believe her to be a Border – Irish Terrier mix.


She’s fitted into foster really well here and her housemates are showing her the ropes (and a few naughty tricks too!) 
Miss Scarlett needs a loving sofa and a loving family to share her many long years ahead of her!

Prince George Chorkie Yorkshire Terrier Chihuahua Mix – Rehomed

He is small but mighty, our first ever ‘Chorkie’ here at Terrier SOS, a yorkshire terrier chihuahua mix, probably bought as a puppy as an expensive present in a Spanish pet shop. As pet shop don’t operate a return policy, he was abandoned over a year later, found straying and never claimed.

[meteor_slideshow slideshow=” prince-george”]

Now about 2 years old, Prince George is in London foster, and is as adorable as he looks. He adjusted very quickly to his foster family, gets on with the resident dog and with everyone he meets, dogs and humans.

George is very affectionate, quite needy, he needs to be by your side. He loves playing zoomies with other dogs in the park and has great recall. In his foster garden, he enjoys digging and hiding his bones in funny places.

He loves cuddles, in fact he lives for cuddles. He is also a bit of a kangsroo, and can jump up and down very high for treats or when he sees the lead.
