A letter from Muffin

Hello my name is Muffin and I am a Terrier X, but definitely not a cross Terrier!

I used to live in Valencia Spain. I was in a perrera, it wasn’t the nicest place to be.

Every day I hoped that someone would see me and come and take me away. Then the day came along when Terrier SOS did and they took me into their care.

I had to stay in kennels while my passport and paperwork was being sorted and I had to have all my vaccinations. Finally the day came for me to start my adventures.

I was collected on 25th April and my travels to the UK started. I had the best place on the transport vehicle. I was right at the front behind the driver. It was awesome. I could see where we were going. When we reached Calais in France we went through passport control and I proudly showed my passport to the men at border control. Once all the official stuff was sorted we had to drive onto a train and we came through a very long tunnel under the English Channel.

I had quite a few fellow travellers on the van with me. Mostly canine companions and one by one they reached their new homes. I was one of the last passengers to be dropped off and it was late at night and very dark. But it didn’t bother me at all. I bounced out of the van and
went to greet my reception committee.

I spent my first few days settling in. Then I found out what the word paparazzi meant!

Don’t get me wrong I am happy to pose for the odd photo but keeping still is not my strong point!
I also felt the photographer didn’t really capture my best side…Look this way Muffin, now this way….. Oh dear it was so time consuming.

All the posing was hard work!

Muffin Meerkat 2I have to say I am a clever boy. I can change from a Terrier into a Meerkat in a split second.

I like to do this a lot especially when there is something very interesting to see.

I have learnt that by putting my bottom neatly on the ground tasty treats are my reward.
I am very quick and go into supersonic learning speed when yummy liver treats are around.

Then one day I had a bit of a shock.  Spa Day kept coming up in conversations… What on earth was a Spa Day? I soon found out!

Muffin haircut 3 Yes! That is really me! I had a bath, all my furs were clipped away and I had to pose for the camera AGAIN.

Then someone said all the little brown spots on my back were my naughty spots!  I am NOT naughty.
Those spots are my happy spots.

I am a very happy boy and full of energy.  It would seem that I may be very good at agility!
The nice grooming lady where I had my Spa Day said it too; something to do with 4 paws leaving the ground and nearly reaching the grooming table in one bounce.

I would really like to find my forever home.  I would love to live with a family who are ready for lots of fun and walks.
They will need to continue  to teach me the etiquette of living in a house and how to walk nicely on my lead. But I am a very fast learner and pick things up really quickly. Honest!

I am courteous to other dogs when I meet them on my lead and love to play.

So if you think you have a space in your home for a fun loving young boy with lots of energy please could you complete an application form TerrierSOSQuestionnaireMay2015
and send it in to Terrier SOS.

I will have my paws crossed someone will adopt me very soon.
