Welcome to "Happy Tails" This new page is where we hope to share monthly updates from some of the lucky dogs who have been in our care and have finally found their forever families, we adore the stories and pictures people share with us, we hope you do too. We start with November and to open our new page is dear boy Griffin!!  Griffin dropped by to show us his Halloween outfit and boy was he scary hahaha ..........................  Harris (stunning looking boy) was adopted 4 years ago and has come on so well, he certainly wasn’t a happy chap in kennels and its always so rewarding to still receive updates after a good period of time. We often get quite a few updates from visitors to our stall who are more than happy to share their incredibly happy stories since adopting a dog from us, the furthest back I’ve heard since being with FDR was probably one from 14 years ago, amazing! ..........................  Dogs who have been rehomed have been adored by many because of their character, Monty bear being amongst the many, this fella definitely thinks he's human! Lol what can you say, so funny. ..........................  Patch is another who is very clever, he very often writes his own stuff and says I've not seen dogs this big before in the field, that’s when he’s not taking a well-earned nap this morning after a nice long walk or watching Paul O’Grady lol Patch’s mom also said he’s doing so well walking off lead now with his recall, just says hello to other dogs and carries on walking, brilliant, well done Patch and family! ..........................   Wickett - The cuteness and character of this dog continues to amaze us, Autumn walks and walking really well off the lead now - well done to you too Wickett! ..........................  Ted - I thought you would like this... this lad really loves the camera and like most he is such a natural, here he is dressed up for these cold autumnal days, brrrrr you look so cosy Ted :-) ..........................   Emily says: “when Monkey moved into her new home she seemed a little anxious, so we set up the dog crate so she had somewhere to relax if needed, needless to say I think we have nailed crate training this pooch ..... haha – here she is feeling festive and this was taken in November lol .......................  Kane's new family have said he has settled very well and has made himself feel at home, love him to bits. The pictures show just how happy and contented he is when his little mate is back from school. Looking forward to a hug when you visit, see you soon lad! ........................  Sonny found his new home two years ago and his family say “how quickly they have passed by, two years and one week actually since I picked up my boy from you. What a fab dog he's turned out to be. Thanks Forest Dog Rescue! And a Happy 3rd Birthday to Sonny. See you around xxx” ..........................  Sasha - Hi all thought i would send u this of how comfy Sasha is – ...fireworks not bothering this girl then – adorable ............................  Little Max has had such a hard day and is all pooped out  and Candy girl is having a problem getting up the next morning…noooo I love aunty Deb's bed, you’re gonna have to put me in the washer too lol .............................  No matter how brief the updates are, they are always welcome, here’s one from Brody who says “Hi FDR just to let you know I'm keeping happy and healthy and enjoying every minute love Brody aka Flash!! ..............................  Scooch’s family have sent some amazing pictures and say “ Hope you and the dogs are all well x” ............................  Fascinating update from busy girl Holly and her family “Holly has been great and really settled into her new life. Can't believe it’s nearly a year since I've had her. Everyone loves her and she loves everyone! She's been to dog training as she is a little bit unsure of other dogs when on leads, this is getting better and is very good doing everything asked. Thanks again for letting me have her - Butter wouldn't melt! .........................  Top Tina - Hi there - Just giving you an update on Tina who we are very proud of, being awarded her bronze puppy foundation assessment from the kennel club! She is such a happy and wonderful little dog, we love her and Dougal very much, Thank you Maureen and everyone at FDR - awww so well done Tina! .............................  Chip - Hi everyone - i just wanted to let you know that "Chip" is doing brilliantly - another month on and he is just so settled and happy. We absolutely love him so much - he has brought so much love to our family. I was worried about how he would get on with the cats and I think you'll see from these photo’s that my worrying was for nothing - please could you show Mary when she comes in - the lady who approved us - he really is the most beautiful, kind and lovely boy - we couldn’t have asked for more - he's just ACE!!!! Thank you x  Bella - Hi just thought I'd send you some pictures of Elsa who I have now renamed Bella :-) ...........................   Hi everyone at FDR,Mommy said I've turned into such a beautiful boy and my coat is growing back really nice since leaving you back in May. I love to be brushed regularly now and to keep my fur from never getting matted again. I'm a very lucky boy to have such a loving home where I'm always spoiled rotten. Hope you like my pics Love Cooper x. ........................  Stanley - Stan is cold and loves looking at himself – haha and why not, he’s such handsome boy :-) ...........................  Kalisi - Here's an update from pretty girl Kalisi (formerly Gaby) She has settled extremely well and already snuggling up with her new buddie Copper J Copper is a lot happier now and they have bonded lol Tthank you for letting us have her!! . ............................. Lovely picture from little chap Pudsey formerly Yo Yo Thanks Jade, think we can safely say he's home bless him. ......................... Just wanted to update you about little gentle cocker spaniel, Harper, who joined our family last December (can't believe it's nearly a year!). She has settled in so well and is thriving. Her confidence has grown and she has relaxed a lot having learnt from her big brother, Woody, who's been helping her with having fun and doggy manners - you can see how happy he is about his new friend J Harper loves her blankets, toys, chewy sticks and walks - she sling shots across the park every morning following every scent. Thank you so much for helping us meet Harper, she's a beautiful dog and a credit to the amazing work you all do. Harper will be sending a Christmas present for her many friends staying with you over the festive period. Big love and best wishes The Deamer family x ........................................ Awww fab update from these 2 cuties Thanks for the phone call earlier today, it's really nice to have the support. I'm pleased to say that Ruby (Indigo) & Crystal (Scarlet) are now both doing very well. Putting on weight and growing nicely. They've had their final vaccinations and are able to go out; I've attached some photos as promised, one of which is following their walks in the park - I think they were a hit!! We've also started positive reinforcement learning last Tuesday, which is really enjoyable. I'll keep you posted with photo updates. Kind regards, Dee. ...............................  Tinker - Tinker is finally home ..........................   Juneau - Great to hear from this girl - A year in after bringing her home from your kennels and she's more content than ever!! ..............................  Bailey – haha - just had to share this photo with you, this is where I found Bailey when I came down this morning, it certainly made me chuckle, he's such a clever boy, he must of been feeling chilly, bless him x ..............................  Murphy - (previously Comet) enjoying a Sunday afternoon snooze with his best mate x . ............................  Max– we adopted a Lurcher x from you in August.His name was Hiccup (now Max). He's doing great and has grown so much! He can now sit, stay, heel, jump up on command, paw….we're still working on recall though lol Many thanks ................ ......................   Sunshine - She misses nothing with those ears. Our lil miss sunshine . ..................................... Letting you know he's happy and healthy (apart from a poorly foot- his claw came off! Ran too fast trying to keep up with his papa) and I just want to thank you for doing such a great job. ....................................   Thena - Some pictures from the summer. She has grown a lot since then and is a bit of a nutcase! I particularly like the one of Kellan teaching her to jump. .............................
