Lucky dogs
 The story
doesn't always end with the hero/heroine riding off into the sunset but these dogs have been
given another chance. We don't always know where they go, but when we do hear anything, we will
try to pass on the news. This month 9 dogs found new homes, many of them going to agility homes
so watch out them on the show circuit.
Dogs are featured in alphabetical
order.

Cassie was a stray who came to us from the pound.

between the size of a Collie and a Staffie.

dogs and loves people. She can pull on the lead and does require more work in this area.
Travels well in the car.

so lovely and deserves to find a forever home.

JAKE
History:
Jake came from farm
breeding and was purchased as a puppy. He has been much loved and cared for but it is
with great sadness the daughter in the family is terribly allergic to him, so we have
been asked to get him a super new home.
Description:
Jake has no hang-ups
whatsoever. He has a wonderful nature with people, children and dogs. As you you can see
he is a very handsome tri colour collie, with a lovely a long coat and wonderful semi
pricked ears. He is a busy, busy, boy and loves playing with his toys, and other
dogs. This collie would make a superb agility/obedience prospect. He is very obedient
both on and off the lead, good in the car, basically we cannot fault him one bit.
Rehoming

active pet home is a must for Jake. We have also promised the previous owners updates of
him in his new life.

JAKE
History:
Irish rescue who is
remarkably unscathed for being an unwanted pet kept in a shed for nine months. Now in
foster in the UK and is coming on in leaps and bounds.
Description:
Jake is a medium-sized, stunning black collie x – very affectionate, boisterous,
active but not hyper. This boy wants to be much more than just a much-loved pet -although
that too of course! He gets on well with other dogs, although needs more
socialisation because of his early months and because he is
alpha-material.
Rehoming
criteria: We’re looking for an experienced, positive,
active home for Jake because he is bold, swift and nimble, smart and very quick to
learn.
Child friendly: Yes – although does jump up.
Able to live with cats: Not known
but he’s very interested in foster home’s rabbit and hens!

Happy
Ending:
Jasmine
has now gone to her new home - experienced owners who are contemplating venturing into
the world of agility or flyball. Fingers crossed. |
JASMINE
History:
Jasmine was bought as a family pet after their elderly dog died. She has been physically
well cared for and has suffered no overt ill treatment or abuse. However, as often
happens, she proved much livelier and more demanding than the
previous dog and ended up being shut away in the kitchen for most of the day.
Description:
Black/white
WSD. Jasmine is a very sociable dog with no
behavioural problems beyond a little chewing of the kitchen
cushions. She has had so little owner input; she is more like a dog of six months of age
than a year.
She
has had a small amount of basic training and this is being extended at the Rescue Centre.
She has had little experience of traveling in vehicles.
Rehoming
criteria:
Jasmine deserves to go to a new home with an owner who can introduce her to a much
more active and stimulating lifestyle with hopefully training and agility as part of her
development. A home with another dog(s) would be preferred but is not essential.
Child friendly: Yes, has lived with children of 7, 13 and 15 without
problems.
Able to live with cats: Yes,
friendly but excitable, has lived with family cat

Happy Ending:
Katie has found a fabulous new home with 2 other Kelpies, a Huntaway and a Bassett Hound,
400 acres where she can be out and about.
(11/03/2008) |
KATIE
History:
Katie was found as
a stray pup.
Description:
She is a black and tan Kelpie X. Katie has boundless energy, drive and enthusiasm. Lots
of stamina too. She loves everything and everyone and loves to be cuddled and to be
centre stage. She lives life at 100mph – until she collapses at night when it is 0mph.
She has a cheesy, toothy grin when she is excited and happy. She is a good
traveller and has no major faults really.
Rehoming
criteria: Katie needs a home where her
intelligence can be harnessed and where she can fulfill her potential. She is a quick
learner and is at the age where she is soaking everything up like a sponge.
She is so deserving of a home where she can do a job. She loves other dogs and adores
people.
Child
friendly:
Yes
Able
to live with cats:
Yes,
but under supervision. Katie might chase cats outside if left to her own devices, but
knows to leave the cats alone indoors.

Happy Ending: Robbie
has settled into his new home now. He went to a home found by his foster but there were
quite a few calls from agility people so the rescue has been able to rehome some other
dogs. (12/03/2008) |
ROBBIE
History:
No history as Robbie was a pound dog rescued when seven days were up.
Description:
Robbie is a lively and boisterous puppy. He is responsive and quick to learn and is good
with dogs and cats, but not ducks!
Rehoming criteria:
Robbie
would enjoy an active home and someone who would let him use his intelligence in a
positive way, we think agility would be perfect for him.

Yes, but
older children as he can be a rowdy puppy.

ROSIE
History:
Rosie went into a dog pound as a pregnant stray. She had the puppies in the pound and was
then due to be put to sleep. We heard of her plight and rescued her to give her a chance.
Description:
Rosie is very bright, intelligent and very friendly, sweet little dog who also gets on
with other dogs.
Rehoming
criteria:
Rosie would suit a home where she gets lots of love and affection with plenty of exercise
and will be an integral part of the family. She s a slimline and very agile dog and can
jump very high. Also fast. She loves to play.

SUSIE
History:
Her owners
felt they couldn't cope with a young bouncy Collie.
Description:
Susie is a
very active young girl who hadn't received the necessary training a young dog needs, she
has however come on leaps and bounds in her foster home and now knows all the basic
commands. A very intelligent dog and keen student, she loves to learn new things and is
very eager to please. Susie is toilet trained, travels well in the car and can be left
alone for up-to an hour without problems, if left for longer periods she does become
destructive. She is friendly towards everyone she meets, including children of all ages
and other dogs. This girl loves to play, her favourite game
being fetch, which she would happily play for hours on end.
Rehoming
criteria:
She will need a minimum of two hours of off-lead exercise daily, as well as plenty of
stimulating mind games.
Susie is looking for someone who will be willing to do agility or similar activities with
her on a regular basis. Her new owners should have owned Collies before and will live in
a rural or semi-rural area.

Interim Report:
Tess did go out on a trial period but unfortunately the other dog in the family (a
terrier) hated her so much that poor Tess had a rotten time. She is such a sweet collie.
(24/02/2008)
Happy Ending:
Tess has gone
to a horsey life.

TESS
History:
Tess was farm bred and purchased by a
family who have really loved her. She
is a strong collie who has run rings around the lady in the family. She started to nip
the lady's heels/leg as she was walking about.
Description:
Tess is a smooth coat collie with lovely pricked ears, a little on the dumpy side but she
has just been put on a weight watchers programme! She is a
lovely friendly dog with people and children and other dogs. She meets and greets
everyone like her long lost friends. She
also pulled like a stream train on the lead. Tess needs to be
working and doing something more than just being solely a pet dog.
Rehoming
criteria:
Good knowledgeable home for Tess
as she needs some ground work put into her. A very agile collie, she would be a good
prospect for agility/obedience/flyball.
