Daisy – Parsons Russell Cross – Rehomed

This is the delightful Daisy.  She is 4 years old, she is a JRT x Parson Russell girl. She is currently living in Yorkshire – but she can travel for the right family. She is microchipped, speyed and up to date with all her vaccinations, but she does not have a passport.

Likes: Cuddles, people of all ages, sleeping on the bed, playing with the big dogs in the park, being Bossy, barking at things she doesn’t like

Dislikes: the Postman, people walking past my window, bicycles and motorbikes, some dogs when I am on lead, recall

She is a typical terrier and really needs a home that will have time and love for her. She can live with another dog – male – as she has bossy tendencies.

Kika – Collie Terrier Cross – Rainbow Bridge

Kika – Terrier Cross

Update – MAy 2023 –

Now if you’ve been following us for a while you may well be familiar with this beautiful girl. Kika is our longest stayer, often over looked Kika has been with us for over 6 years. There have been limited applications for Kika but for one reason or another they haven’t worked out but we can assure you it’s not due to lack of effort.

Kika recently went in to foster, in a child free home and has made friends with the resident dogs.

On walks she has shown herself to be trustworthy and has excellent recall , especially if she knows you have tasty treats. Kika is friendly and likes saying hello to everyone, she can be a frustrated greeter when on lead but you can occupy her with treats and reassurance as people or dogs go past.

Kika loves to be outside but she equally enjoys cuddles on the sofa. She’s really settled in to family life and wants to be involved, she enjoys being near you wether it be if you’re cooking (did we mention she loves food?!), gardening or simply relaxing reading or watching telly etc. Kika does have separation anxiety which will need to be managed and following our training methods you will eventually be able to leave her for short periods of time. Kika travels well in the car and doesn’t suffer from car sickness.

Speaking to Kika’s foster family it’s clear she has made herself at home and is enjoying a quiet family life. They are teaching her about the outside world and helping her to adapt to life outside of kennels. She is affectionate and thoughtful, watching and learning from both the resident dogs and her humans.

With Kika you will have a devoted companion, she enjoys affection, loves company and relishes walks. She wants to please and is a quick learner, she’ll have you trained in no time!
We feel she will be suited to a semi rural life where she gets to go on country walks away from the hustle and bustle of busy towns. Kika can live on her own or equally after introductions can live with other dogs.

If you feel you are the forever home for Kika – please get in touch

 

This is the beautiful Kika.  Kika was one of the many dogs abandoned in Spain – she ended up in the same perrera as Lolo.  Time was not on her side – she is a larger (15 kilo) cross – and she ran out of time – they needed to clear kennels and she would be the next to go.  I had been asked if we could help her several times – and we said we were unable – but I got a final message asking if I could just try and squeeze her in – if we said No – Kika would lose her life – it is really that simple.  
 
We have never regretted saving a dog – and they deserve a loving family and a chance to get to shine.  Could you be Kika’s Guardian Angel? She is one of our longest stay dogs and we cannot understand why, she has so much to offer and is so much fun.
 
Kika is 4 years old  – she is a female cross – we arent sure but think Bull Terrier  / Collie Cross – she is a bit larger that a fox terrier – she is a very loving girl and she needs a family that has the time and commitment to her.  
 
Kika has all the Collie traits – quick brain, busy brain, active brain.  She would do well at anything that requires her to work her intellect.  She loves to be busy doing things and would make a wonderful Agility or Scent dog.  If you keep her brain busy she will follow you to the ends of the earth.  So if you are an active person that is looking for a companion dog – then this is the girl for you!  Whatever you put in – she will return 100 fold! She has a natural retrieve instinct and she wants to interact with you.  She is very treat orientated – and she can count.  If you put four treats in your pocket – and give her three – she knows you have one left in your pocket – and will not leave until sums add up!
 
She also has the Bull Terrier trait of being all muscle and she has strength – so can be a bit of a bulldozer.  We love her enthusiasm and we love her forward momentum – but because of this we cant rehome her with small children and people that may be human skittles.  
 
Whoever adopts Kika must be prepared to commit to her.
Kika has severe separation anxiety. She will bark while alone , pace and so on.   Even popping to the shops for 5 minutes, going into the office once or twice a week for an hour or two will not work.  Any prospective family should be prepared to work with us to help her gradually build up the time she can manage to be alone. 
 
She is in Norfolk – she is speyed, vaccinated, passported and health checked.  She cannot live with young children or small furries.  
We want this year to be Kika’s year.  If you can be the one in a million family please contact us.

Cassie – Fox Terrier Cross – Rehomed

This is the delightful Cassie – approx 10 years old.  She has been with us too long – she is one of our long termers, and we can’t understand why!

She likes people and is constantly wagging her tail and wants to meet and greet. Cassie does not want to live with another dog, but she is fine walking past them/ being around them provided they give her space.  She would suit a calm – semi-rural environment.  She likes her walks, but is justas happy cuddly on the sofa with you.  

She is such a delight and the volunteers adore her and she always puts a smile on their face – she is a treasure and her forever family will get a gem.

She is very hunting-driven – so would need a secure garden and exit management. She could not live with small furries or hens. We feel she would blossom quickly in the right home. She is ready for love, in the right terrier experienced home we think she will be a fantastic companion. And whatever you give her – she will reward you a million times over. Every dog deserves a chance, and none more so than Cassie.

She is in Norfolk and ready for her forever home. Vaccinated, neutered, passported. No cats and small furries. Children: 10+

Alba (Dawn) – Wire Fox terrier – Rehomed

Alba (Spanish for Dawn) was purchased for a grandchild – the purchase was a ‘whim’. The dog came to stay and decided chickens were for eating – so they put a chain round her neck and tied her to a stake in the ground. She has not been off this chain since. They never even bothered to give her a name – just a dog at the end of a chain.

The people put the house up for rent/sale – and a caring person went to view the house and was told the dog came with the house… well, they didn’t want the house but they couldn’t turn their back on the dog…so began the pleas for help…how can you see this and not try? So with the help of some amazing people – this dog is now safe.

Alba’s Before and After:

She has been named Dawn – Alba in Spanish – because this is where the darkness ends for this girl…a new Dawn, a new beginning!

Dawn has gone into foster in the UK and has really blossomed.  She loves playing, walking, cuddling and being an over all loving terrier.  When she was living on her chain – she ate rocks and when anxious – she can become destructive – She ingested a rope dog toy one weekend and it culminated in her requiring surgery to remove a blockage.  A portion of intestine was removed.  She has made a full recovery, and is on a special diet – but has shown no sign of slowing down! But this means the adoptive family must be vigilant – and the ideal family would be at home for her most of the day. We will work with a behaviourist and ensure a plan is in place to support any future family

She loves to sleep on the sofa, she is quick to settle, she travels well in the car, enjoys patrolling her garden and chasing the birds away.  She is loved by everyone who meets her and is such a sweet gentle girl. 

She is a cutie – we think she is 5/6 years old – she does get on with other dogs (provided they were calm) but would prefer a home of her own where she can get all the attention.  This wonderful little dog needs and deserves a chance – could that be you?

Currently in foster in Surrey

if you’d like to give Alba her new start, get in contact!

Queen Victoria – Lurcher Terrier Mix – Rehomed

UPDATE – 11 December – Queen Victoria is one of our longer termers – and she should not be.  She is loving and gentle and one of the kindest souls.  She travels well in the car, loves her trips to the groomers, loves a potter in the garden and just hanging out with her human family.  She is now approaching 11 years old and has been in kennels too long.  We are looking for a retirement home for her – and cannot imagine a better Christmas gift than finding her a forever home.  She has Leishmania but she has tested negative for several years and is not on any medication.  She will need to be monitored and We will provide any family the support needed – just need a warm home and heart for her.
 
 
 
 
Victoria is terrier cross, abandoned by her owners and began living in a Spanish ravine.  
 
She has lived in that ravine for years – the people of the nearby village were never able to catch her.  They said she lived there for 4/5 years – eventually they did manage to catch her – she had many litters over the years – she was very shy, she had little contact with people – and her faith and trust in people was shaken – we have no idea what horrors she has seen but we know she is a smart dog for having survived so long out there.
 
She is a black dog, she is shy of people, but after visiting several times – she started waiting for her volunteer humans at the front of the kennel…

Victoria started her rehabilitation in Spain last year, and she has been progressing really well.  She came to the UK in April, she is positive for Leishmania, She has no symptoms of the Leish and it is inactive.  She is on a daily medication to help keep the Leish inactive. 
 
She’s a senior lady, around 8 or 9 years old,  she is approx 15/18 kilos – about knee high.  She is a real sweetheart – perfectly fine with other dogs and has tested well with cats (could live with dog savvy cats) She is currently in kennels in Norfolk.
 
She has been let down by people, it almost cost her life – could you be the person that shows Victoria that she is loved?
 

UPDATE: April 2019 :

 
We work with our dogs and are always introducing them to new things.  Queen Vic loves visiting our volunteers and she loves her scent activity games – she always asks to go in and she is straight looking for her chicken foot (one of her favourite treats).  She is super bright and has gained so much confidence.  She is still wary of strangers, but she soon learns they mean no harm and she comes for a gentle neck rub.  She has the sweetest eyes and we really think she will make the perfect companion.
 
Ideally we are looking for a family that will take life at her pace,  a really calm life without too much going on.  She doesn’t need to go for long walks – she needs a good garden and the new family to keep her brain entertained.  She will help you in the garden, she will be by your side watching TV, she will help you in the kitchen … a little too much (she does love her food!)
 
Could you be that special home for her?  We know that once she finds her family – she will blossom
