Taco Nelson – Wire Fox Terrier

This boy was advertised on social media as a dog that had been sold with a house and the new owners wanted him gone.  One of our wonderful volunteers in Spain arranged his collection and the true story came out …. This dog was bought as a puppy – they had him in the garden and one day the owner found him chasing the chickens – so the owner grabbed him and the dog, being startled, turned round and bit him.  The owner then decided he was ‘aggressive’ and his children were at risk and basically wanted the dog gone.  If it wasnt rescue – the dog would have been put to sleep.  

So we stepped in and he is now in kennels in Spain.  He is a very stressed dog and we suspect from his behaviour he has suffered a lot of physical abuse in his short life.

What we know: he is young 1-2 years old, he is very nervous of new people, he is reacting to dogs in kennels and he is capable of jumping 6 foot fences.  We are hoping he will settle in kennels and would desperately like to find him a foster/adoptive home in the UK 

He will need a home with garden (and secure fencing!), no other animals including dogs, time to help him transition to life as a loved pet.  YOu will have support from us and our behaviourist – but you will need to understand that he will need TIME and PATIENCE.  We have no doubt he will become a wonderful companion, but he will need time to get there 

Priority will be given to homes in the South East of England as we have a good support base there.

If you are interested please send a Rehoming Questionnaire.

Pickles – Fox terrier – on hold

We have Pickles rehoming on hold as we work through some resource guarding – he is a lovely dog for people he likes – but with strangers – he is not wanting to share.  So we need to help him and this means we are unable to rehome him yet.  We will hopefully soon be willing to work with a family if they are prepared to visit over a period of time.  He just needs support – he is a lovely dog just an unsure one

 

HE came to us via a family that could not offer him the help he needed.  He is a delightful fox terrier – he is loved but sadly he was finding out that a busy, city life does not suit him.  He can come to the UK for the right family.

We would consider a foster family as well – he would be better in a calmer more rural environment, with his own garden / orchard 

We will discuss his requirements with the right applicant, he is a lovely boy and will need lots of time to adjust to new surroundings. (NO small furries, no children, could possibly live with another dog)
 
We will need his foster/home to have a very calm, quiet home. He currently struggles in his current situation and will become reactive when he becomes stressed.
 
You will need to follow our guidance completely so we can set this boy up to become happy and stress free.
 

He is young (2 years old) he is a typical curious, active, funny, sweet terrier – please read out FAQs and please download a HomingQuestionnaire
