Nigel is a Wire Hired Fox terrier thought to be about 6 years old, until he was rescued he had spent almost his entire life chained to a tree,for the last few months he has been living very very happily with his foster mum  and her dogs  especially loving her little bitch who he will spend the whole day playing with if allowed, his foster Mum says he is a lovely happy loving little dog , he loves to fetch the ball, loves cuddles and strokes and going out in the car.
We don’t think he would be good with cats .
His foster mum says “And what can I say about Nigel ,after standing in nearly the same spot for over 4 years chained to a tree ,mostly standing in freezing cold water and mud with only the trees branches for shelter and only getting fed once a week ,yet here he is so gentle and loving ,he asks for so little but has loads to give.”

Clark Kent

If dogs could speak, some could tell a tale or two.  Clark Kent lived on the Spanish streets for a while and ended up living near a petrol station, eventually one of our kind volunteers managed to catch him and look after him until he was ready to come to the UK.  He is now fostered in Cornwall living with two Lakeland Terriers.

Clark is approximately 5 and a lovely, cuddly and very handsome boy. Despite the past neglect, he still loves people.

He loves to be tickled, cuddled and loved. He sleeps in his own bed,  and uses the dog door to go out for toilet trips if he needs to.

Clark Kent had a broken pelvis in the past, and as a result he can only manage a gentle 30 – 40 minute stroll but he enjoys two walks a day.

He is good with most dogs and happy to be included in their games.  Once settled he is fine to leave at home for short periods of time.

Clark has medical problems that are managed and not stopping him from living a comfortable life. He has daily eye drops, Propalin syrup 3 x a day to prevent urinary leakage. He’s on a Royal Canine special urinary condition diet and for his skin he requires a bath with a special product once a week.

He therefore requires a very special family, which will give him the love and care he deserves so much.

He is a fantastic dog – are you his family? If so getting in touch, Clark is waiting (in a phone box) for you. Please download a questionnaire: TERRIERSOS-Homing-Questionnaire

Kathy in Spain

Kathy in Spain

This is the lovely Miss Kathy. Our sweet Kathy ended up in a killing station in Hellin, Spain – abandoned, alone and scared. We were told about her by several volunteers in Spain. And well, we said YES – save this little poppit. Well, she was pulled from that hell hole – and went into foster with Mary Morgan.

Well, you would think that would be the end of her troubles – but no, sadly she had pyometra (womb infection) – and needed emergency surgery. The poor girl was thin, malnourished and had to go through surgery. We almost lost her – but these are tough little dogs and she knew that the future had something good in store for her – so she made it. She stayed with her wonderful foster family and they have done a wonderful job with her.

She came to the UK – and is in foster in London. And this is what the foster says:

Kathy is estimated at 8 years old – but we do not think so. She is energetic, fun and loves life. She definitely has the spring in her step of a younger dog. Kathy is a happy little dog ….the past is the past and the future is bright and she knows it. She loves going for walks, she loves meeting people (all people!) – she greets you like you have never been greeted – she wakes you up by jumping on you and giving you a million kisses. She is loyal, and follows you everywhere. She is a quick learner and has mastered new commands with ease (and cheese !)

She travels well in the car, can be left for short periods, she walks well on lead (unless there is something furry or feathery – then she is all terrier and wants to hunt!). She is fine with dogs and people – she does sometimes bark at dogs when on lead – this is to get their attention – she just wants to meet them.

She could live with another dog (male) or on her own – she just wants love and to give it back. She steals socks and slippers and hides them in her basket – and she has also been known to take a fleece jacket into the garden – she is a real gem and will be your best friend.

Due to the surgery – she has been left with incontinence issues – she is currently on medication (Propaline) and it has helped her. She still has little leaks – generally when she sleeps or if she is very excited. Just a little leak – but we are hoping that with time this will go away too. It is only a small amount – how many of us have coughed or sneezed and had a little accident? Please don’t overlook Kathy for this little problem – it is not her fault

If you want to know more – or you are smitten and want to adopt this girl – then please download and fill out an application via https://www.terriersos.com/download-our-adoption-form/ . We look forward to hearing from you.

Arthur

DSC02866 DSC02863 DSC02865 DSC02864 DSC02885 DSC02903 DSC02894 DSC02888 DSC02884 DSC02882

This is Arthur (nickname: Artie,Artie McFartie, Arturo) – this poor boy was one of Spain’s many strays – he ended up in a perrera and was left in kennels – he is about 8 – and he really had no hope of ever getting out. We were told about him by Irene – a lovely volunteer with a rescue called Last Hope Dog Rescue. She had seen him and he was in a miserable state – she asked if we could help. Arthur was skin and bones, his fur was thin and he had bald patches. We said – Yes – send him on up! He arrived in the UK and it was like Tigger had arrived – he was bouncy bouncy bouncy. He had obviously been kennelled for a long time – he was under socialised and had no clue how to live in a house. He has been in foster and the fosterers have helped him – he now travels well in the car, he can be brushed (that has been a huge achievement), he is house trained, he loves to cuddle and play and he can live with another dog – but preferably a calm one. He has calmed down and is one of the sweetest, cuddliest dogs we have ever met.

But we are sure Arthur was kept in a garden by himself – as he shows a lot of signs of being under socialised and when out and about he gets stressed. He has become protective of his foster family – and can make quite a nuisance of himself with other dogs and sometimes people. We are working with this behaviour but the new family must have terrier/rescue dog experience and be prepared to continue his training.

Sadly Arthur has had a real setback – he had been suffering since he arrived with his digestive system – and the Vet diagnosed a severe Giardia infection. It really knocked this poor boy out, he has received treatment and is almost back to 100% – but he will need to be kept on a low protein diet and get regular worming treatments.

At Crufts this year – a Wire Fox Terrier named King Arthur won Best in Group for the Terriers – well, this is Terrier SOS’ Best in Group – our very own King Arthur – because he was neglected, abandoned and left to die – but he still trusts and loves and still wants to be with people and protect them – and for our King Arthur – the best is yet to come…

If you think you have what it takes to be a terrier owner and think you may be right for Arthur – then please fill in a form via https://www.terriersos.com/download-our-adoption-form/ and return it to us, we look forward to hearing from you.
