Granville

Oh my – what can we say – this is the wonderful Terrier SOS Granville. Another dog dumped in the perrera in Spain. A young boy – he is full of vim and vigour. Granville is a great dog – true terrier spirit – but not as prey driven as some. Keeping still is difficult for him – especially if there are people and dogs to meet and greet. He will need a home with time on their hands to help him learn some manners. He is fine with dogs and people, but just not used to living an urban life.
 
He is a bright, fun, loving little terrier ready for his new family. He loves and gets on well with his Terrier SOS pal, Lucas – both are located in Norfolk.
 
He is between one and two, neutered, fully vaccinated, passported and microchipped. He is ready for his new home – he can live with other dogs – he is dog savvy. He really needs a family that has the time for him.

Conlaf Terrier Cross

This is the amazing Conlaf.  A dog that was abandoned in a protectora (rescue) in Spain and forgotten – he has lived most of his life in kennels in Spain.  We saw him and it was love at first sight!  So when the rescue asked if we could help – we said of course!  He has come to the UK and is being fostered in Notts.  The foster thinks he is just a wonderful foster boy and has not put a paw wrong.  Considering everything he has been through – we think he is a wonder dog and any family that will have the privilege of sharing their life with this dog will be the luckiest family around!

Conlaf is a happy boy – a very happy, social and outgoing little BIG man, has met all dogs on walks whether big or small with no signs of fear or aggression.  Has no issue over food – and sits patiently with his foster brothers at treat and meal time.  He is clean in the house, sleeps the night, knows Sit and High Five,  loves to ride in the car, he is a climber, and a “wanna be” lap blanket sometimes leading to an invasion of space by sneaking onto your lap when distracted.

Out on walks he is always eager to go out, and is a typical boy terrier, bustling and busy, looking, smelling, snuffling leaving wee-mails, he can pull a tad at the beginning but soon settles down.  Has shown no reactivity to cats as yet.  He loves squeaky toys and balls and will play tug, he likes to “dedd” things, but no surprise there really – he is a terrier after all!

He has a big personality and a big heart, and is full of love, he just wants to love you.  He would suit an active family that has a secure garden for him to sun himself in.  He will need to keep his brain active , and have a family that loves terriers – but maybe in their more mellow stage.  No young children due to his age – but a home with older teenagers with dog experience would be considered.

He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchip and passport and ready for his new home.

Age approx 10/11 – no cats or small furries

Timmy – Terrier Cross

A Spanish rescue contacted us and asked if we could help a boy named Timmy.

Timmy is a gorgeous tan and black boy – he looks like a longer legged version of our boy Rufus! He was a stray, knocked over by a car and left to fend for himself. They took him, he received vet treatment for his leg – and now he is ready for a new home. He is young – approx a year old.

He is dog friendly and people friendly – but still very nervous and shy. So please give a warm welcome to one of the new Treasure Hunt boys.

Dylan, a very special dog forever in our hearts

“We have lost a very special Terrier SOS dog, our beloved Dylan has left us and all our hearts are broken for him and his family. When I first saw Dylan (originally called Diamond) – the rescue did not exist. I had been involved in helping another dog, a terrier naturally, and the volunteers asked if perhaps I could help. Diamond was 7 he was left at a notorious kill station in Almeria because his family were ‘bored’ of him. That is it, with one word he was to be discarded. Their ignorance, their callousness, would cost him his life. Chris and I paid for all his fees out of our own pocket – we waited a long time but eventually we picked up a very thin and a very disorientated boy. We did not know it then but on that day, a journey began – the journey of rescue – with its highs and lows – with the great joy and great sadness that only dogs can bring. We fostered Diamond for over a month, we got to know a fun and bright boy – he loved his toys, he ate my sisters shoes (egged on by Klaus no doubt), he loved chasing squirrels, and in no time we realised that he was a gem, a precious gem.

Liz and George saw the gem too – and on a breezy Brighton seafront – they met Dylan and walked him with Macy. They fell for his charm, his cheekiness, his stubbornness, but above all his sweetness. He was a character, and always brought a smile to his family’s face. He was their beautiful boy. He accompanied them on many adventures, and travelled throughout the UK with them – getting friends and admirers along the way.He was also a fashion model – and modelled for Redhound for Dogs! He loved his toys, keeping his sister on her toes, and letting his family know how much he loved them.

Unfortunately when we speak of Dylan, we must also speak of his illness. Although initially testing negative for Leishmaniasis, he began to shows signs . He received all the treatments and his family spared no effort , he saw Vets, specialists, but sadly either due to the illness or complications because of it, Dylan got progressively worse.

It seems so unfair, Dylan was a beautiful soul and deserved his second chance. He fought his illness, and he always faced his hardship with a grace and stoicism befitting a true terrier. He has left us far too soon, but Dylan was loved, Dylan’s light will shine bright and he will never be forgotten. I know he is whole again and in no more pain, and I hope his family can see what a great gift they have given him.

We started to help more dogs like Dylan, more dogs that were cast away and neglected. We realised his worth – we could see what others could not. People have come together and despite some very tough periods, we moved forward and each year we not only save more dogs, but we become a better rescue and learn and evolve and we would like to think Dylan and dogs like him are proud we have stood up for him and have proved they are worth saving, even if it seems for such an all too brief time.” Diana, founder, Terrier SOS.

Pluto – Jack Russell Bodeguero Terrier

[meteor_slideshow slideshow=” pluto”]
Pluto is a gorgeous Bodeguero – a Spanish version of a Parsons or Jack Russell, they were originally bred to get rid of ‘vermin’ in wine cellars. A kind person moved him from his original home, as they wanted to get rid of him, potentially kill him, for not fault of his own. Luckily he was sent to the pound and then into our care. He is around 3 and has now settled in his foster home in Nottinghamshire, this is what the family says:

Pluto is a friendly and fun terrier who loves company! He is not keen on early starts, and is quite happy to laze in bed until breakfast time. In the house he loves to cuddle on the sofa or watch you pottering about. But he is quite relaxed about being left for short periods and often takes himself off to his bed when there’s nothing going on. He has fitted in to life in a home, housetrained and happy to learn new tricks, he is starting to play with toys. He’s got plenty of energy and a sharp mind he picks up new commands and lessons easily.
He gets quite excitable if we meet new dogs when walking, but we are working on that and as he grows in confidence the barks are lessening. Otherwise he is a pleasure to walk on the lead, gentle and happy when he sees people. He loves to romp and explore the local woods, that nose just hits the ground! Pluto loves pottering round the garden and is ever vigilant, on the lookout for the neighbours cats! Typical terrier when he’s focused on hunting his recall skills are somewhat forgotten! He is learning to play and loves a game of fetch or simply running around with you.
