 Ollie
Ollie is a delightful neutered male Parson Russell terrier of one year of age. He is smooth coated, with long legs. Ollie is fully vaccinated, and up to date with his worming and fleeing treatment. Poor little Ollie is very nervous around unknown dogs, he is frightened when they run up to him, so if he is on the lead he will try and bite them, he suffers from fight or flight. Syndrome. Therefore his previous owners used to muzzle him. He loves to sit by your feet, so no slippers are required, he knows general commands, and was always clean in the house, his owners say he was a very obedient little soul.Updated: Tue 16th Nov 2010 16:45:04 |
 Hattie
Hattie is an independent young lady. Hattie is a beautiful xwhippet/collie around 5 years of age. Hattie is a very happy, bouncy, lively and playful girly. She loves to run and run and run, so she would need a large secure garden, and ideally access to it all the time, as she loves spending time in the garden. Due to her size, I think it would be possible to put in a small dog flap, then you can be rest assured she can get out and about. Hattie is ok with some dogs, but can be very dominant so needs to go to an adult home only with experienced confident owners who are willing to spend time with her training. Hattie definitely does not like cats, she also doesn't like being told what to do, but by using the correct reward training this can be achieved, we all would if we were going to get a treat for doing it. She is a very friendly and affectionate girl when she gets to know you, and she will come to you when she wants to be fussed, she's not in your face type of dog, she's the more independent type, well there's nothing wrong with that?Updated: Tue 16th Mar 2010 16:56:06 |
 Beau
Beau Most stunning female Rottie around 5 years of age. Unfortunately beautiful Beau is wary of strangers, so she would need time to get to know you, when she trusts you she is the most affectionate loving dog there is, she loves her cuddles and being made a fuss of. We are not sure what has happened to this poor girl, but believe it was not nice. Why, well Beau is wary of strangers, frightened of noises, banging, thunder, fireworks, or basically anything if it's loud enough. For these reasons we would love Beau to go to an experienced home, a family with out children, she could even benefit living with a very calm male dog, after introductions of course. Beau is good on the lead and likes to have a good run around off the lead too, due to her fear of noises etc, we suggest secure quiet areas initially. Beau needs a very patient, understanding, fair owner to help her with socialising, this beautiful girl needs your help by giving her "her confidence", trust and most of all love.Updated: Tue 16th Mar 2010 16:53:03 |
  Teddy
Teddy Teddy is a wonderful staffx, male around 4 years old, black and brindle. Teddy is such a lovely boy, he is very affectionate with people and loves to play all day if he could, especially with his toys, he is happy to entertain himself with them, love him. He is a lively happy boy and adores his walks. Due to Teddy being with us for some time, why I don't know, because I think he is adorable, well I think all staffs are to be honest, anyway going off the point, Teddy would need help in being house trained, so ideally he is looking for a home where someone can show him the ropes and has the time to give this little dear soul. Unfortunately, Teddy is another dog that was never socialised at that important time in his life, for this reason Teddy cannot be rehomed with any other animals, or homed where neighbours have dogs or cats, as he really doesn't get on with them at all, so Teddy will need to be the only special pet for you. Teddy would also not be allowed of the lead in public due to not liking other animals. I know what you are thinking, not the one for you, but he has so much more to offer, this can be worked with and can be controlled, he just needs that one little chance to prove it to you, please give him that chance, a young dog that can be turned around with the right help. Teddy is up to date with his vaccinations, flea and worm treated, neutered, micro chipped and will have six weeks free insurance with Pet Plan. www.lastchanceanimalrescue.co.uk Last Chance Animal Rescue, Registered Charity No. 1002349 if you would like to know more about me, please call us on 01732 865530 between 10 - 3, or via our web site above general@lastchanceanimalrescue.co.uk, or email Adrienne on age@blueyonder.co.uk , hoping to hear from youUpdated: Tue 1st Mar 2011 16:11:50 |
 Block
Oh Dear Block, what have they done This is our Block, Block is a delightful wee Staffordshire Bull Terrier, he would need an experienced Staffy owner, as I am afraid that this boy does not like other dogs or cats, yet another of many wonderful dogs out there, that were not socialised in those most important weeks of puppy hood. Due to this reason we are looking for a committed, owner, with older children that understands his anxieties. Block was very fortunate to have been homed, and lived a happy life with his new owner until just recently. Block was a wonderful pet and his previous owner has nothing bad to say about him. SO WHY DID HE COME BACK I HEAR YOU SAY, well unfortunately Block's owner is very ill and knows that Block deserves more and was thinking of his welfare, hence why he has come back to us, a very, very sad story for both man and beast. Blocks life was complete, and once again due to no fault of his own, he is once again alone, sad, confused and frightened. Block is a wonderful Brindle boy, very muscular around 8 years old, and weighs around 16kgs. Block is a real handsome chap, which unfortunately this picture doesn't show, I will get a better one for you all to see him as he really is, yeap a STUNNER. He is really compact, very energetic, full on bounce and strong with it. He loves nothing more than playing games with you, he doesn't care what games, just having fun with you is the best thing to him, a lovely chap just waiting for you. Come get me, am a real chip of the old block! Block is obsessed with playing balls, he also likes to bite the lead when you are walking him, it's not aggression, just he has the need. Like my Hector he loves to chase things, Block, he loves to chase the mop whilst cleaning his kennel, my Hector, also a staffiex loves to chase the hover, mop, sweeping brush, anything that moves quickly and makes a noise, I think it' s good exercise, he stops when I tell him, I don't think it's an issue, it's him, his character, my other dogs don't find it a problem. Block is up to date with his vaccinations, flea and worm treated, neutered, micro chipped and will have six weeks free insurance with Pet Plan.Updated: Wed 24th Feb 2010 07:55:13 |
  Barney
HELLO MY NAME IS BARNEY Well Barney is a very intelligent, cute dog. He has had some training, and he is quiet a joy on the lead, he will walk to heel with a lose lead. Barney does love to chase cars, so if and when you let him off the lead, it must be away from any roads or tracks. Barney is yet another dog that does not like other animals. Barney is very protective of his home, so he will alert you by barking if anyone is near the house, he is a very good guard dog. He is also protective of those he has bonded to, so care and slow introductions must be held when visitors come over. Barney would be better suited to a quite home, ideally someone on their own, so he knows to trust and rely on them. Barney also likes to chat to you, especially when you are about to feed him, but in general he is not a barker only on these occasions. Barney adores his tummy being tickled and likes being stroked around his ears and his chest rubbed. Barney is such a character, he loves his baths, and likes a good shampoo and set, then a good blow dry all over, especially his tummy. We have found that Barney prefers biscuits than meat dinner, so a complete meal is ideal for him. Now we are not sure if he had to search for food previously, as he has shown that he can be slightly possessive of his food, and it is recommended that you do not give him any type of bones, as he will protect them and warn you off if you go near. Barney, has quite thick dark hair, so he finds it hard to go for long walks when it is hot, so nice short walks in the heat of the day, or save them for longer ones when it's cooler in the evening. If he is taken out whilst it is very hot, he becomes very grumpy and plays up on the lead. Barney loves his grub, so you must ensure you put everything away, even some other things, if it can be eaten it will be. Barney does not like you touching his paws, but loves to be brushed, as long as you leave his paws and tail. THIS DARLING BOY HAS BEEN WITH US TOO LONG, HE WAS IN FAMILY AND A NICE REPORT WAS GIVEN. HE CAN BE POSSESIVE, BUT SOMEONE MUST HAVE HAD A DOG LIKE THAT BEFORE AND KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH HIS LITTLE PROBLEM, THINK ABOUT HIM, FULL SUPPORT GIVEN BY US IN EVERY WAY.Updated: Tue 3rd May 2011 17:22:15 |

  Baxter
BAXTER Darling, sweet affectionate Baxter. Baxter is a seven year old staffie cross. He is a lovely, very friendly boy and ever so affectionate towards people. I personally have spent some time with this boy and taken him on a few nice walks, but I will be honest he is quite strong on the lead initially, but in time he calms down and is quiet a joy to walk. Right a little bit more about our boy, Baxter is a good traveller and enjoys trips out in the car, he is also good in the house. We feel that Baxter could be rehomed to a family with children of ten and over, purely due to his size and strength, he still loves life, likes to play and show you love, hence why older children would be better, we don't want him to knock any little ones over in his excitement now do we! From what we can see Baxter has only one problem and that is he doesn't get on with other animals, so he would need a loving home with out any other pets, also, even thou when I walked him he could see other dogs in the distance, we recommend that he is walked away from other dogs in the park etc.Updated: Wed 24th Feb 2010 07:59:27 |
