Marni – 8 year old female English Springer Spaniel

The Animal Rescue Charity Hertfordshire — Tue, 15 May 2012 18:00:00 +0000

This stunning Teddy-bear of a boy is our Marni; who although is getting on a bit, likes his walks and maybe could do with losing a few pounds. Marni is vaccinated, house-trained and well behaved. Marni had been with a family since he was a puppy until recently so would be suited to older children and most households. Marni mixes well with other dogs, hardly noticing they are there, loves his cuddles and is very friendly to both familiar and unknown visitors.

Being a big softie, makes Marni great to exercise as he keeps a rhythmic pace and is happy to walk with his mates or just a human companion for company; always responsive will all people who are fortunate enough to come his way. Marni is just a pleasure to be with, is obedient and has a truly balanced temperament. His natural handsomeness is only outshone by his matching personality as he is placid and tolerant making him a true gent indeed.

Marni is simply a people-loving dog who craves to find his place in the world once more with those who will cherish him; can you offer this fine lad a permanent pad? Situated South East of England, Hertfordshire.

Sooky – 4 year old male Whippet cross Jack Russell Terrier

Rescue Remedies — Tue, 15 May 2012 17:47:56 +0000

Homing Requirements: Sooky has impaired hearing and so she can present as a timid and scared little dog and display her sense of vulnerability. She needs a family who can relax her and forgive a few mistakes if she gets startled or spooked. Respectful considerate older children who are conscious of her needs. Sooky could live with another dog given time to build trust, which would help her gain a sense of the world where she can feel isolation.

Her Story: Sooky grew up with 3 young children and a terrier with the family unaware of the actual nature of her hearing loss though they suspected something was awry. She bit her owner whilst travelling as she put her arm behind to the back seat to calm the children. 11 months later the other Jack Russell went for Sooky and the mother gave her to the vets as the owner couldn’t cope with 2 dogs any longer. The vets spayed her for us. Sooky was fostered and then went into a quiet home with no other dogs but visiting toddler grandchild and gran dog. She has since been separated from children and dogs.

Advert: Sooky is a sensitive, often frightened little love. Sooky needs nurturing to expand her social scope as she can retract and can seem fearful of the world. Her hearing difficulties feature greatly in her timidity: She is startled by loud vibrations e.g. motorbikes which she has no sense of direction with. She currently lives off an A road with thundering vehicles and a more rural setting would support her needs.

Sooky is a small white Whippet cross Patterdale possibly Jack Russell. She is pure white with pale blue eyes. Yes she is unusual and yes she has special needs. Sooky has a hearing impairment being dulled to most normal noises but bewildered by ‘heavy’ noises. She has special needs and can misinterpret sudden moves, can snap, has bitten if she gets disturbed without willing engagement. She has rarely bitten but needs a sensitive family where they are aware and supportive of her needs around her ‘silent yet dramatic noise world’. She has an inability to understand and direct her attention to the source of loud noises or vibrations. She is very loving and seeks reassurance through her humans.

Please visit Sooky’s thread on our forum: http://rescueremedies.myfastforum.org/sutra33924.php#33924 to find out if she is still available and for fuller details.

Alfie – 14 month old male English Bull Terrier

Dorset Dog Rescue — Tue, 15 May 2012 17:19:58 +0000

Alfie is brilliant on the lead ( compared to our other Bull terriers he is great) he does not protect his food bowl. He loves to play and have a cuddle but he does need constant attention and a home that does not mind a few things being chewed of broken once in a while. Because he is deaf we use hand signals and when you hold you thumbs up he will sit. He is house trained.

I feel he is slowly calming down as he gets older but without the attention his training is slow. I would not put him with cats or children but he can go with bigger dogs! Not smaller ones as he hurts them by constantly jumping on them. He could probably do with a bigger dog putting him in his place as well. Because he is deaf he does hold onto your hand a bit more with his mouth, he nibbles but once you get used to it , it does not hurt. ( like a cats play bite). Alfie is 14 months old.

Belle is a 12 year old gentle lady who has been dumped in the pound in her latter years. She is a good old fashioned mongrel but looks to have some collie in her. She has had a good wash and brush up and is settling in her foster home. Her mouth is so sore, and she will be receiving dental treatment via Rain Rescue prior to rehoming.

We are looking for a wonderful home for this beautiful girl who did not deserve to be abandoned in the pound, or left in such a poor state. The cost of the dental treatment comes from donations, which are always gratefully received.
