Alfie – PRT Cross – Rehomed

What’s it all about, Alfieeeeee……
 
 
Meet the wonderful Alfie – when I see him I really do want to sing ‘Whats it all about, Alfie!’ . He is a divine little Parsons Russell terrier cross – found in Spain with wounds to his neck wandering in the countryside.  He was found and luckily brought to a shelter.  We were asked if we could help – and well, one look at that face and I was smitten.  He really is a very sweet loveable dog.

He is in foster in London and we are told that he has settled well with the other dogs.  He likes to play ‘biteyface’ and chase – he will happily play with a toy – or cuddle with you on the sofa watching telly.   He is house trained, travels well in the car, can be left for short periods, he is learning to walk on lead and can get excited approaching other dogs on lead.  We are working on this – but it is not an insurmountable problem.  He is a leggy terrier – and we are not sure what the cross is with – but whatever it is – it has made a scrummy little dog.  He is about 3 years old, in good health.  Has been vaccinated and neutered.  He likes to chase the birds and squirrels – and just wants to run off lead.  He is smart and a fast learner – and he has been such a delight to foster – and when he looks at us with those big brown eyes…we just melt….
 
He would benefit living with a dog – as he really enjoys the company of his furry pals.  He does follow their lead and will benefit from a friend.  He is a bit timid in new situations – so his new family will need to slow down for him.  He will make the perfect companion and just a fabulous dog.  If his foster was not at her maximum for dogs – she would swoop him up!

Check out Alfie’s video below:

He is young (about 3), dog and people friendly.  He is a lovely boy, though a little timid at present time, with love and care he’ll come out of his shell! If you are interested in Alfie, please download the form

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!

Please fill in our TerrierSOSQuestionnaire2017 and return it to us, we look forward to hearing from you.
