Chiqui (Chiki) – Senior Wire Fox Terrier – Rehomed

Update – he was rehomed in Spain with his original rescue – good luck Little man!
 
 
 
We have been asked if we can help this old boy in Northern Spain. He is called Chiqui (Chiki) – he is an old boy (DOB 2009) – he has a few health issues – but he deserves to live out his days in a home being loved.
 
He is currently in kennels in Spain and we would prefer to move him to foster/adopt family rather than bring him here to be in kennels. He is safe but deserves better.
 
This is what the volunteers in Spain say: He is a happy , affectionate boy that loves getting cuddles and scritchies. He is a typical terrier – active for his age. He can be selective with males – so best as an only dog or with an easy going girl. No cats/small furries. He does have a heart murmur that is being managed by meds, and he had his spleen removed (we can discuss further with any prospective home)
 
We think he deserves his own retirement home – could this be you?
 
Please go to our Homing page and download a Homing Form –  Rehoming Questionnaire if you feel you are suitable
 

Skye – Terrier Cross – Rehomed

Look at this cutie – she was handed in to a Vets in Spain – she is about 11 months old and a doll. She is still learning to live an urban life – but she loves people, playing with dogs and getting cuddles.  She does not have sight in one eye due to a congenital defect.  This does not hold her back but it will need to be managed and monitored.  She may need it removed in the future if it becomes to cause her a problem (it is no problem for her at present)

She is a terrier cross we think, but all cuteness.

She is in Spain and will be coming to the UK shortly – we will update the website after her arrival

Blake – Slovensky Cuvac – Rehomed

Dear all – please offer a warm welcome to our latest Terrier SOS adoptable. The eagle eyed amongst you will notice he is not a terrier – he is in fact a large Polar Bear. We are making him an Honorary Terrier. He was brought to the UK by a Romanian Rescue – and sadly his current home cannot manage him due to allergies. The original rescue are no longer able to help or meet his needs – and we agreed to help.

We have done a bit of private investigation and we feel he is a very rare breed called a Slovensky Cuvac (pronounced Chew Votch) He is the right size, characteristics and needs…..

* He loves the outdoors, pottering around and watching what goes on around him. He is great in all weather except rain!
* He loves to chase small animals and dig for mice. He is a very happy digger
* He is protective of his family … a natural instinct in this shepherd breed. He loves human company and is always happy to be by your side.
* He has no problems with noises from daily living (indoor and out)
* He loves his meal times, will happily lay outside chewing his bone and then fall asleep with his chin on it.
* He has no separation anxiety and is 100% house trained
* He needs space indoors and outside. He would thrive in a semi rural or rural environment where he has freedom. Definitely not suitable for a flat
* He has a huge double coat and he moults a lot. He will need daily brushing to keep his coat in tip top condition.
*He has a lovely temperament – he does react to some joggers and bikes every so often – but he has improved whilst in foster.
* He is a big strong dog – he is over 40 kilos
* He needs careful introduction to new people , i.e visitors (we are working with this – but it has been put on hold due to Covid restrictions)
*He is fine with bigger dogs – not so keen on small barky dogs

He is currently in foster in Norfolk and we really need help getting him seen – he will make a perfect dog for the right family. So please welcome Blake … the Honourary Terrier of Terrier SOS

He is about 5 years old, neutered, fully vaccinated and has his passport

Lara – Welsh / Airedale Terrier – Rehomed

This is the lovely Lara – she was living in a yard with 3 other Airedales – chained up outside.  The owner wanted rid – the other three went to ‘friends’  – and luckily she ended up with a rescue.  They contacted us and we brought her to the UK.  The rescue does such amazing work and we are grateful we can work with them.

Lara was originally listed as an Airedale and when she arrived she was a bit shorter than expected!  She is 18 inches in height at the withers – so possibly a cross – or large Welsh.  In any event – she is 100% terrier.

She is in foster and we are learning a lot about her.  She is approx 2 years old and full of the joys of life.  As with all our dogs – she is neutered, fully vaccinated and has her passport.

This is what the Foster Mum has written about her very sweet foster girl…

Lara is a real cutie pie. Absolutely loves cuddles and attention. She is curious and mischievous and makes us laugh. She has spent the last 3 weeks settling in at her own pace we have asked nothing of her other than for her to feel safe and relaxed. When she first arrived she was naturally bewildered, extremely tired, thirsty & hungry after her long journey. She has a wonderful appetite for a small girl – hollow legs we call her!

Lara was naturally confused about bathroom habits and would be outside and then come inside to relieve herself. She is a quick learner and we are now having dry episodes throughout the night and day. She does however have a mat (human incontinence mat) that she has learnt to use in case of being caught short. We have undisturbed nights as she sleeps soundly.

Her curiosity grows daily and she is not phased by things as long as we remain mindful she may never have experienced the noises and activities in a home environment. Dishwasher, TV, washing machine, hoover whilst she maybe slightly apprehensive at first her experience of something she soon gains her confidence. Nothing here is done in a rush. With a very slow calm approach she has learnt to have her own new pink harness put on and already walks nicely on a loose leash , responding to an attention sound. She knows her name and comes running when called. Gradually we are starting to take her a little further each day into a quiet world of exploration. Lara loves to play and is a happy little sole. Nothing is more interesting than a box with paper and a couple of treats in and a calm treat searches.
As a young dog she is an active girl and she can move like the wind when she has her little wild moments of running & excitement. She is not a barkie dog, however dogs do bark when they have something to say or observe something interesting which is natural. In a short period of time with slow small steps she has made a lot of progress. Without hesitation we can say Lara will make someone a wonderful companion as I have said she loves her cuddles and individual attention.

If you would love to add Lara to you family, please complete a Homing Questionnaire 

She is being fostered in County Durham and any potential adopter must be prepared to travel

Gypsy Bella Rose – Wire Fox Terrier – Rehomed

This is the lovely Gypsy Bella Rose Button Nose.  She was found as a stray wandering near a large bakery in Romania.  She was difficult to catch – but with the help of some wonderful people – they did catch her and move her to kennels.

This poor dog has been through a lot in her very short life.  (THey think she is 3) She has Rickets from poor nutrition and obviously a very poor start to life.  She was abandoned to fend for herself at some point – as she was also hit by a car – this left her with a jaw fracture, spinal injuries and a dislocated hip joint.  She  then did fend for herself and managed to survive (somehow!) – the injuries did mend – but she was in pain from the hip joint.

Thankfully we have wonderful supporters and helpers and she has had surgery to the hip joint and this should mean she is more comfortable and able to walk without pain – she is now in kennels healing.  She will be moved to the UK when it is safe to do so. (Probably October)

We are not taking applications for her yet as we want to get to know her and her needs better

We will update the website and our social media with her progress.
