Evoque – Airedale – Rehomed

This is Evoque – she is 2 years old and a very typical Airedale girl – so much so that her family felt they could no longer cope with her and put her into rescue. We are told she is people and dog friendly.

We are working with a Spanish rescue to help find this beautiful young Airedale girl the furever family she deserves.  She is with a rescue co-ordinator in Spain and we are working with them to see if we can find her a UK home – so they will provide the support and back up.

If you would like adopt – please complete a Homing Questionnaire and get in touch. We do love our Airedales!

Joanna Senior Airedale – Rehomed

As many of you know we are at our maximum capacity for dogs that we can manage at present. So it has been so difficult for us – as we love dogs and not being able to help makes our volunteers suffer – we never forget the dogs and their faces. But we are human and as it is, our lives are consumed by rescue, so sometimes we make the hardest choices. But … there are times that we mean to say ‘No’ and we say ‘Yes’ instead.

This is one such time. We were told about an Airedale girl, 11 years old, a pet, but the family were moving overseas and they could not take the dog, they did not know what to do and they were running out of options and time. The dog was going to be brought to the perrera.  A horrible place for any dog, and a place no dog should experience. So we said Yes when we meant No.

A wonderful volunteer picked up the dog for Terrier SOS – to move her to our residential kennels (they are well maintained, well staffed and the dogs are cared for). Well, what she told me just broke our hearts.

This is Joanna and she is an Airedale – one of our volunteers refers to her as the Large Lass. She was bought as a puppy for a family. She was the love of their life, they both worked in Madrid and were doing well. The family was doing well, but sadly one of the partners passed away unexpectedly, the other continued working and caring for Joanna, but then he lost his job. Money became an issue and he was forced to return to his hometown. No money, no job. His only offer came from a job overseas and he felt he had no choice, and decided to let Joanna be rehomed. But not many options for an old airedale, and not much interest and he was running out of time. He reached out, and through the many connections/shares – she ended up in our inbox.

She is beautiful, well groomed, she came with toys, blanket, bed and food. She has been loved and has been a family member – and our volunteer had a very emotional pick up – another one – and we have promised him we will find her a wonderful retirement home.

Joanna is dog and people friendly. She will need a family that will understand and help her adjust – we dont want her to be in kennels so we are looking for a foster with view to adopt – we would like to move her soon so would look at foster as well.

Izzy Terrier Mix – Rehomed

Here is the lovely Izzy, she is a terrier mix dog now available for adoption. She is about one year old, medium size, spayed and ready for travel.
She is shy at first with strangers and other dogs, but loving once she gets to trust them.
As a young dog full of energy, Izzy will happily play with other dogs as soon as she gets used to them.
She is currently fostered in Romania, by the people who saved her as a stray puppy, the same good people who saved Cookie. She has grown up in a loving domesticated environment and is house trained, and all she needs now is her family, and you are out there somewhere. Terrier SOS will arrange the paperwork and transport to get her over.
Please get in touch, we are waiting.

Poppy – Wire Fox Terrier – rehomed

Note: We’ve had a number of enquiries about Poppy and are confident we will be able to find her forever home.  If you like the sound of precious Poppy, do take a look at her fellow 3-legged fox terrier pal, Hero Hal!  

We know this little girl will steal your heart like she stole ours! Her name is Poppy – she lived in the Spanish countryside with a lot of other dogs – the owner would go out on horse back – with the dogs following him.

One day he returned home and she was not following.  She eventually turned up later a few days later…with a wire snare around the leg, it was also entangled with barb-wire. Because she was stuck for too long the leg was black and the blood supply cut off – they had no option but to amputate the leg. Poppy had been through hell those days caught in that trap, desperately trying to get out. The owner said she was not any good to him anymore. Luckily a good person contacted us and she came into our care in Spanish foster. There the vet decided to amputate the leg and had to deal with other issues.  Watch a video of Poppy here.

She is now in London foster and this is what her host family says:

“Poppy came rather shy at times but given her circumstances very upbeat, and laid back, quite and extremely lovable – and with a tail that wags like the Doctors K-9 which dog would not be.

It has been a joy to see her sleep and recuperate – but she is now also in the position to walk and exercise and generally build her fitness up, and it turns out she still has a lot of gumption, and gives the other dogs a good run and as much fox terrier spirit as they give her.

She is toilet trained, and has not damaged anything in the house. She is even good at walking up and down our normal staircases, though the more modern ones she does not like to climb up. She likes being around company whether that be adults or the kids, and can be a little anxious when left on her own unless she’s sleeping.

Due care is required to ensure she does not damage her remaining hind leg, so if you are a mountaineer or a keen hiker she is not going to be the dog for you. A semi rural or urban lifestyle would suit her, she could live on her own or with other dogs and older children.

She is a delight and needs a household where people are around most of the time or can take her to work.”

Poppy is dog friendly and a really sweet girl. She manages to adjust on three legs and just needs a family that will love her as a pet. She is on the smaller size for a foxy (8 kilos, 35cm high to shoulder). Does a three legged dog need special treatment? You may have to help her go up stairs, and rub her on the side where she can’t do it herself. Have a lifestyle where she is less likely to hurt her back leg (mountaineering, hill hiking not so good).

Princess Georgina – Cairn Yorkshire Terrier Mix – Rehomed

A stray dark Yorkie cross found in Spain, Princess Georgina is a young lady in need of a kingdom to call her own.  She is a dainty young lady, with friendly manners befitting her title, currently in foster in the UK.

Georgina is a real gem – her tail never stops wagging.  She loves to give licks, dance on her back legs, wag her tail; she is super bright and super sweet. Fine with dogs andpeople – she just needs to calm down a wee bit and will need good guidance and further training from her adoptive home.  She is a busy little girl, always on the go!
