Molly and Mandy – Fox Terrier Cross Pair

We were contacted by a volunteer – two fox terriers were abandoned near Salamanca – they were chained up in a barn – they have lived their lives on short chains and without the kindness or comfort they should have had.  We agreed to take them and change their lives – so through a lovely group of volunteers they were moved to kennels in Spain and to safety – they will shortly move to the UK.  

The girls are Mother and daughter we believe – they are very bonded and we feel at this stage we would prefer a home that could take both together.  We will assess further as we get to know them – but the smaller girl is very timid and finds her strength in her companion.

What we know – they are lovely, good with other dogs and loves people – unknown about small furry animals like cats

They are approx 8 years old and 4 years old – this is the original post we responded to (the third dog was adopted in Spain via another rescue):

The girls in kennels – happier and braver

Pepsi Patsy – Patterdale Terrier

We were made aware of a pair of dogs living in terrible conditions – their owner passed and the wife was no longer able or willing to care for these dogs.  They have lived in a kennel outdoors their whole lives and have never had the kindness and care they deserved.  

Pepsi lived with the collie and they did not get on – she is 7 years old and overall seems to be healthy – she needs to spayed, given a full health check and her coat is in poor condition – but we will get her to a happier place and ready to enjoy her own home.

She walks well on lead, she can be selective with other dogs – and we would only rehome as an only dog.  She ignores dogs on walks- but she has argued with her kennel mate – so we prefer to err on the side of caution 

She loves people – she is a typical Patterdale – she is bouncy and energetic – and will not tolerate any small furry creature- so no cats or anything else!  

She really does need her own home and would benefit from someone that is around most of the time so she has a human all to her own.

This is how we first saw them ..

 

Millie – Border Collie

We were made aware of a pair of dogs living in terrible conditions – their owner passed and the wife was no longer able or willing to care for these dogs.  They have lived in a kennel outdoors their whole lives and have never had the kindness and care they deserved.  

Millie is 12 – she has numerous health problem we are addressing slowly (bad teeth, arthritis, poor fur condition, ear problems and the list goes on) She has been a working dog – and as such was never walked on lead or use to wearing a collar.

Her kennel mate was a Patterdale Terrier – so we took the two as a pair – but they do not need to be rehomed together.  

What we have learnt about Millie – she is the sweetest most gentle dog – she just wants love and attention – she will walk well on lead – but follows you if off lead – she has been fine with all dogs and could benefit from a companion in her new home

She is an old girl – so we are looking for a retirement home for her.  Somewhere calm where she live out her days with love and affection.

She will require a lot of veterinary care to get her right – so please go to our donation page if you wish to help towards her costs.

if you are interested in providing her a forever retirement home please go to our FAQs page and complete our questionnaire 

These are the kennels she was living in:

 

we will add more photos as we get to know her and has had more tic in kennels

Sally – Mini Chihuahua Terrier Mix – reserved

8 August 2024

This lovely little lady has arrived to the UK. She  is in foster in Norfolk
 
What her foster says:  Sally (aka Lucy Locket, Cookie, Little one and Snuggle Donut) is a delight. She is approx 6 years of age, about 3 kilos in weight and very very sweet. She is fundamentally a lap dog and all she wants is to be with you and cuddle – she has to sleep in bed with you – and will snuggle up next to you with her head resting on your shoulder. She is such a cutie – she can be left for short periods, travels well in car, fine with dogs and people (apparently also ok with cats) She has suffered an injury at some point – so has a damaged eye (she can see from it but it is damaged) – her legs have also suffered at some point and although she has gained a lot of strength she will never be a big walker (more carried around). I am usually not one for the little dogs – but this girl has won me over and we may be wearing matching outfits soon.
 
 

 

Her background:

This sweet girl was found with our fox terrier called Harry – she was abandoned on the street and found him and the two were firm friends.  Sadly Sally had a few medical problems – and needed a bit more support before she could travel – she is ready to come to the Uk as a foster or adoption.  

At some point Sally was hit – and she has damage to her front leg and eye – she can see – but the eye is slightly sunken in – her leg is getting stronger but she will need this monitored going forward.  She is ready to travel – and really needs her own family

She is approx 6 years old – only 3 kilos – and is fine with all dogs and cats!  We really want her to have a fabulous home where she can be adored and cared for – if you feel this is you – please complete a Homing Questionnaire and contact us 

Hetty – Welsh Terrier – Reserved

Update – sadly HEtty has been returned to rescue – she was exhibiting many behaviours that were not expected and we felt it would be best she returns to rescue and she can be assessed and given some help and guidance.  We will do updates

Please say Hello to Hetty! Her family have had a job placement overseas – and they initially wanted her to join them – but they feel the long journey and the tropical location would not suit her and have made the difficult decision to find a new home for her. She is in foster in Crewe and is safe – so we are looking for the right home for her

Hetty is a lovely girl. She is 6 years old , Travels well in the car, fully vaccinated (has EU passport) and has no known health problems. She has a normal routine with her family – walks in the morning – can be left for short periods, she has the run of the house and is no problem. She has an evening walk then will go onto her chair and watch TV with her humans.

She loves her games and toys – and will de-stuff any soft toy in 5 seconds flat. She s a typical terrier and will bark when someone comes to the door or if she needs to tell the birds off – but once she has said what she needs to say she settles.

She is friendly with most dogs – can be selective (which is perfectly normal for a Welshie!) Cannot be left off lead as her recall is also selective

So a super all round Welsh Terrier – but she does have one vice – she will guard her bed at night. She doesn’t bite and has never bitten – but at night she will not tolerate any passers by – once she is in bed she must be left alone. She is used to sleeping downstairs – we have a plan in place to support any prospective family and you must follow our guidance. But this also means she cannot live with children – she does live with a dog and could live with a relaxed dog.

If you feel you are suitable, please complete a Homing Questionnaire – thank you
