LILLY – Spanish Mastin, Female (Neutered), 5 years old, Microchipped, Vaccinated,  Good with dogs and children, Lily is a big dog and needs more space, would be great with another gentle laid back dog(s) and a reasonable size garden.  Probably best with older children due to her size.  Lily is not a boisterous dog, she is easy going and likes to lay about most of the time,  a gentle laid back walk each day is fine for her.

Went to meet Lily yesterday, she is a big girl and is probably a stone heavier than these photos show. She is affectionate and would settle in a new home quickly. She is a relaxed dog, not bouncy, just wants a quite loving life, good guard dog in that she barks at strangers outside.

Owner must rehome due to working long hours and moving to a small house with 3 other dogs.

SPECIAL APPEAL FOR HENRY.   HENRY SEEMS TO BE THE MOST UNWANTED DOG WE EVER TIRED TO HOME.  IS THERE NO ONE OUT THERE WHO CAN GIVE HIM A RELAXED HOME?   

HENRY – Lhasa Apso, Male (Neutered), 9 years old, Chipped, Very friendly and nice boy, a good pet dog but can be a bit grumpy sometimes, Henry is a typical aloof Lhasa who wants to be with the family but does not like a lot of fuss.  He was a  bit overweight but that will soon go with some exercise on walks.   If you want a dog that doesn’t need much exercise, that is not very demanding, that gets on with most dogs, that is an absolute independant delight then call for Henry.

Henry’s mom passed away and the family are working full time so the dogs are left alone for up to 12 hours a day.

Now in a foster home with a small Yorkie female and doing well.  He had ear problems  which have been treated and much improved.

TURKO – Mixed breed, Male (Neutered), 4 years old (DOB 26 Feb 2015),  Chipped, Vaccinated, Has Pet Passport, Blood tested clear of all Mediterranean diseases.

Turco was in a shelter for most of his life, we have found out he was in a home for a short time and probably not treated  very well by a man.  He is frightened of strange men for about 15 minutes until he realises they mean him no harm, then he is their best friend.  He makes friends with dogs fairly easily indoors but barks at strange dogs when out on a walk on lead.  He cannot be let off lead due to no recall training yet.

Turko is good a very loving, affectionate dog who craves fuss and affection from people, He plays well with dogs he knows and is a real nice boy,  Clean indoors, calm and gentle.  He is good with women and children and very  loving.  He needs a family who can provide him the love and security he so desperately craves.

If you feel you may be right for Turko then please phone Daphne on 01493653955.

TEDDY – Lurcher, Male (neutered),  18 months old, Vaccinated, Chipped, 27 inches at the shoulder,  Good with children (lived with 4) and adults,  Good with dogs, loves to run and play.  He is clean indoors, . He is good on lead and is a loving and good boy who needs a gentle, kind and loving forever home.

Teddy was given up by his mom because of her health problems.  He has been with us in our home with 8 dogs since late Dec 2018.  He is generally confident and friendly and a bit excited when visitors arrive but very quickly settles down.  He really is just a big  puppy who desperately needs someone to love and be best friends with.  He knows Sit and Down and his recall is absolute fantastic and he is starting to do Scent Work which is going very well.  He is happy to sleep  in his crate and be in the crate when left.

His only downside is that Ted has IBD.  We have been to vets for the past few months and now feel we have a handle on this condition.  Ted will need a special dog food and daily meds probably for life so his cost will be about the same as a good quality dog food for any large dog, while his meds will be very roughly £25 per month and should reduce over time.    We are being honest here as we do not want him to go to a home where the food and medication plan will not be strictly followed, we have nursed him thru a very bad time with weight loss, etc, now he is much better and we don’t want to compromise his health.

He is sweet and innocent but with a touch of mischief and od be extremely lovely most of the time.   He counter surfs and steals food when he has a chance but that is usually our fault for not putting things away, otherwise he is good around the house.  Clean indoors  Teddy is a really nice dog but still a bit of a puppy in his head.  Don’t miss a chance to share life with this wonderful boy!

MARIUS – (now Mauri)– Labrador x, Male (Neutered), 5 years old, Vaccinated, Chipped, vet checked and disease free, Has Pet Passport. Marius is good with male and female dogs as he lives with both. He has not been around children and we would therefore not want to place him in a home with young children.

Marius was a street or maybe forest dog for a few years then caught by the dog catchers (who can be and usually are brutal). A vet took him away from the public shelter and kept him with her and several other dog for 3 years. This vet helps dogs where she can and homes thru UK rescue when possible.

The trial home for Tashie didn’t work out thru no fault of his, so our special boy is back with us until a special person comes along.

His Mother was abandoned when heavily pregnant on an Industrial estate,  She was taken to a local Dog Sanctuary where Tashie  was born.  He has been in shelter all his life and deserve a loving home, He is here in our home with our 6 dogs and doing well.

He is now coming out to get treats with the other dogs and going for walks every morning which he enjoys at his pace, started to sniff and mark now so a sure sign of more confidence.

Tashie is shy, but so desperately wants to be friends and find that special person to trust and love, to take him home and make him safe forever.    Tashie  is the essence of rescue, given time, security and love he will flourish, are you ready to be loved unconditionally and to loose your heart

HUGO – What a beautiful boy – Hugo is 2yrs old and has come to us from Adjud public shelter in Romania where volunteers work very hard for the dogs but supplies, food and facilities are inadequate – dogs are hungry, scared and overcrowded. Hugo is nervous and will take a little patience but he is a handsome, beautiful, gentle soul. He is vaccinated, neutered, micro chipped and has a passport. Already his character is showing as he is hoarding all kinds of toys and tea towels and things he finds in his bed. He is quite a large dog but doesn’t seem to know it as he is timid with feisty smaller dogs, but he is starting to play with some of the gentle small dogs in our house – even letting the little ones get into his bed with him. He is living here with 15 other dogs and I haven’t seen him as much as grumble or snarl. This is a beautiful boy – just waiting for someone to love him.

BRUCE ARTHUR –  is a beautiful boy – so named after his sponsors Father – This is a large size, very handsome dog.  He seems to think he is small, he always crams himself into a very small bed : )) He is quite nervous but is beginning to show happiness & excitement when he greets us and out on his walks, he is a very gentle boy, never argues with the other 15 dogs here and is submissive even with far smaller dogs. Bruce is 4yrs old according to his passport but I would have guessed him as a bit younger. Bruce had been in a public shelter in Romania for over a year when we bought him here. He is vaccinated, neutered, micro chipped & has his passport. This wonderful dog is just about ready to begin his new life and I am certain he will be a very loyal and loving companion.
