Freddy – Wire Fox Terrier

Update January 2023

Freddy has settled well in kennels, he has a nice routine and loves the ladies.  We have gotten to know Freddy and he is turning into a delightful dog.  He likes his people , he loves his toys, and he loves his treats and chews.  He has met a lot of new people and is always happy to meet them.  Freddy could go to the right home – this home would be a calm, child free and most importantly a dog free home.  Freddy HATES ALL OTHER DOGS.  So a home where he could have his own garden to potter around in and his own family to live with would be ideal.  He is not the dog that goes for walks or trips to the pub – if he sees another dog – the red mist descends.  He has had problems with grooming – but now we can wash and scissor him – except his face – but he is a work in progress

Freddy came to the U.K. from Romania with another rescue – he was placed in a flat in a busy town centre – and unfortunately he was finding it difficult to cope.  He was becoming anxious and his behaviour with other dogs was escalating.  As he was in a flat – the family were finding it hard to manage his needs and walking was becoming very difficult.

The rescue approached us as they did not have a suitable solution for him.  We agreed to take him and we moved him to kennels in NOrfolk.

Freddy is approx 5 years old – he really is a rural type dog.  He loves his people and his open spaces – but he cannot manage busy lives- he also hates dogs.  He really cannot be trusted around other dogs.

As he is doing well with the volunteers – we would consider a home that has a suitable garden  and has no intention of walking him.  We will give full support to any prospective family but it is with the understanding his world remains small

He did have some issues with his former home – he did not like being groomed, could be possessive over food – but we have not had any of these issues with him in kennels.

We are working on his anxiety levels – and as he calms and realises the world is not a threatening place – he will slowly improve his behaviour around other dogs.

He will turn into the wonderful dog we know he is – but it will require a lot of support.

If you feel you could be this home for him – then please apply.  But due to his history we will expect several visits and also sessions with our volunteers.

Pickles – Fox terrier – on hold

We have Pickles rehoming on hold as we work through some resource guarding – he is a lovely dog for people he likes – but with strangers – he is not wanting to share.  So we need to help him and this means we are unable to rehome him yet.  We will hopefully soon be willing to work with a family if they are prepared to visit over a period of time.  He just needs support – he is a lovely dog just an unsure one

 

HE came to us via a family that could not offer him the help he needed.  He is a delightful fox terrier – he is loved but sadly he was finding out that a busy, city life does not suit him.  He can come to the UK for the right family.

We would consider a foster family as well – he would be better in a calmer more rural environment, with his own garden / orchard 

We will discuss his requirements with the right applicant, he is a lovely boy and will need lots of time to adjust to new surroundings. (NO small furries, no children, could possibly live with another dog)
 
We will need his foster/home to have a very calm, quiet home. He currently struggles in his current situation and will become reactive when he becomes stressed.
 
You will need to follow our guidance completely so we can set this boy up to become happy and stress free.
 

He is young (2 years old) he is a typical curious, active, funny, sweet terrier – please read out FAQs and please download a HomingQuestionnaire

Foxy Gryffin – Wire Fox Terrier – Sanctuary

Update – Aug 2021 – Foxy’s rehoming has been put on Hold – we are rearranging his current situation so we can have him work with a behaviourist on a more regular basis – we will update when we feel he may be ready.  

This is the wonderful Foxy Gryffin – he is a one year old male wire fox terrier that has just become the newest member of the Terrier SOS family.

He was signed over to the perrera with the right to euthanise immediately.  Our wonderful volunteers stepped in, and he is now safe in kennels in Spain.

He is still a puppy – and so will need a terrier experienced family – he is fun, happy and energetic – he just needs to learn to manage that energy.  Foxy Gryffin has arrived in the UK and is currently in kennels in Norfolk.  He is a dog that has had no guidance and is very excitable and we are working with a Behaviourist helping him calm himself and also learn some boundaries.  As an example, we manage to have him calm, but you get up – he starts bouncing on the sofa, or leaps on your toes to have a nibble – so we have to go back to getting him calm.  We are managing to do this, and we can get him to keep four paws on the floor.  So we are looking for a family that will LISTEN to us and will LISTEN to our behaviourist.  Because of this we will place priorities on families in the South East – they would need to come and spend time with us and Foxy G.  He is the G Man – and a great boy – he is rocket man and will need a family that will keep him on the earth

We are looking for a Terrier experienced family that has time and patience to help him make the transition to ‘pet’.  He is smart, a fast learner and really up for anything.  He now needs a home that will see the ‘diamond in the rough’ put the work in continuing to help him find his boundaries

Could this be you?  Do you like learning new things? Than this is the boy for you, please contact us

He is based in Norfolk and we will give priority to homes in the South East.
