Cali

This gorgeous little monkey, affectionately known as Muppet is really hoping her new home is already searching for her so she can start her new life!!

Cali is an Old English Bulldog X American Bulldog has been brought into us through absolutely no fault of her own and details will be disclosed to those rehoming her.

As she's only 12 weeks and only just had her first vaccination she isn't going out on walks/been on the lead just yet but as soon as she is old enough she will be keen to explore as she's an active little girl who is in to everything and sees everything as an adventure... or a chew toy!

Cali is currently at the mouthing stage so we would suggest no young children as she has no idea on what she should put her teeth on and what she shouldn't but with some training, teething out the way and time she will learn.

We are ideally looking for a home who is experienced with larger breeds, able to provide an active home for her when she's old enough for long walks and one who will take the time to train her so she becomes a well rounded adult 😀

 

 

Freddie

Our handsome new boy Freddie has come into us through no fault of his own, unfortunately his owners personal circumstance and health had changed dramatically which meant that long term Freddie would no longer get the exercise, care and training he needs so the heartbreaking decision was made to contact us to help.

Freddie's owners were devastated to have to rehome him, he had a rough start before they rehomed him themselves and they have done so much work with him but his needs were paramount and he is still a work in progress.

Lets start with the positives, Freddie is a super friendly boy, he can be shy/nervous with new people often resulting in a little nervous wee (bless him!) but he will happily receive the fuss he gets and it's not long till that tail starts wagging! He has a good level of obedience, absolutely loves his tennis balls, loves scentwork and has lived with cats BUT although he is good with them in the house, if outside it's fair game and he will chase them.

Freddie loves other dogs and his owner said he would be best suited to a home where there is an existing dog as he really finds confidence with a friend, settles quicker and generally more happy when there is another wagging tail about so ideally we will be looking for a home with a play mate for him.

Now on to his areas with room for improvement... Freddie isn't good on the lead, in typical spaniel style he is full of enthusiasm with excitement, keenness to sniff and get everywhere quickly so he does pull, we have started working with him but this will need continued work in his new home.

We do know Freddie does have some anxieties around getting into cars, he does travel quite happily once in the car and in his safe place of the foot well but getting into the car of his own accord will need some work, he isn't phased about traffic nor walking by cars so hopefully with continued positive association he will soon realise that car trips can be excited and lead to fun places.

Freddie's owner has said that he does have a high prey drive/is likely to chase when out and about, he also struggles with his concentration when out so whilst he has a full repertoire of tricks and commands he will willingly do in the house outside isn't so successful even armed with cheese, balls and praise. Lastly Freddie does have poor recall and will need to be worked on in his home, we have been continuing his owners long line work with him here but this again alike lead work will need to be followed through in his new home - definitely not one to be letting off in the forest... just yet anyway!!

Overall Freddie is indeed a beautiful, happy boy who just needs a committed active owner to get his training back on track, start making some progress and help him turn in to a beautifully behaved adult!

Kola

Mr Kola cube is ready to bag himself a forever home, after coming into us from the stray pound, then suffering with kennel cough it's seemed like an eternity for him to finally be ready... he isn't quite over the kennel cough yet but we are hoping we can find him a home so he doesn't have to wait any longer at his chance of freedom as he's already waited long enough.

Kola is your typical happy, bouncy and energetic boy who loves everyone, his manners are a little to be desired i.e. jumping up and trying to get toys from your hands but he has absolutely no malice just a zest for life however for this reason we would suggest no young children as he wouldn't understand not to grab things out of small peoples hands.

We do think he would benefit from attending some training classes, of course once settled in his new home and cough long gone, but he absolutely loves to please and really could do with basic commands and lead work improving.

Due to his cough we haven't been able to directly test him with other dogs with the risk of spread but he has walked past other dogs in their kennels who are in the same quarantine block as him and he has walked passed them without a fuss just a waggy tail so we do think he is ok with other dogs however to get him out of dreaded kennels soon we're hoping a dog free home comes along to scoop him up and take him home 🙂

We will be looking for an active home for him, he does have lots of energy, loves his walks, loves being out and about, loves his playtime and also loves his toys so he will also need a good size garden where he can play to his hearts content!

Kola is super loving (once playtime is over) and wiggles all over the shop when you fuss him, we all love him and were keeping our fingers crossed we will find a home with someone who loves him as much as we do.

 

Bobby Bichon

Sir Bobby Bichon has come into us as sadly his owner has become too unwell to care for him so he has found his home here for a bit until we can find him his retirement home!

Bobby does have some health issues and is on specialised food for this, he's also had ear infections in both ears which he is currently being treated for and the vets are happy with the progress 🙂

We are looking for a nice quiet home for Bobby, he would make a lovely companion for someone as he is very gentle, walks well on the lead, loves his fuss and is a chilled out little guy.

We have been told that he is house trained, travels well and generally ignores other dogs. We also know that Bobby isn't used to being left much so we are ideally looking for someone who is around a lot to keep him company and so he can keep them company too 🙂

Bobby isn't a high energy dog but he does still love his walks, he isn't going to climb any mountains anymore but would still like frequent strolls out!

As mentioned Bobby will need ongoing specialised food and also with this he will regular trips to the groomer/ears plucking due to his breed/coat.

Bobby isn't liking kennels very much so hopefully we can soon find him a spot on someones sofa soon!

Woodie

6 years ago WOODIE was rehomed but has unfortunately made his way back here due to the owners ill heath 🙁 He is now approx 7 years old bless him and while it is always great to see our dogs we certainly didn't want to see him again under these circumstances. He has been a much loved family pet and he adored his dad which makes this even more heartbreaking so hopefully he won't have to wait too long in kennels as he does love his home comforts!
Although a collie x, he is a really chilled out boy in the home until it comes to walk time and then he gets super excited and can't wait to be off on an adventure. He walks well on the lead even though he hasn't ben on it that much. He has good recall, good with other dogs - loves to run with them, is housetrained (although he doesn't like to go in the garden), loves a good fuss and is a good traveler, loving his holidays in the caravan.
He can be a bit of a nervous nellie - doesn't like fireworks, loud bangs or motorbikes but who can blame him! He has been around children although his owner feels he would be better with older children as he does like a quiet life. He doesn't play with toys and he doesn't like water so bath time can be fun haha!
His owner would love for him to a lovely big garden as he loves to be outside with someone around a fair bit as that's what he has been used to (although can be left a couple of hours no problem), an active home who will give him loads of attention - so we will do our best to find that home for him.

Florence

Florence has come to us after being taken to a vet as a stray after suffering an attack from another dog, thankfully they got her healed up over a few weeks and we found her a place here in the FDR family!

When she first arrived it was clear she was very overwhelmed and had no idea what to make of kennels however she has made lots of progress!

Florence is still nervous and shy about meeting new people, so she will need some help with her confidence going forward however she has made friends with all of the staff here and loves them all equally! We do think Florence would benefit from a quieter home, one without young children around.

On the lead she can be strong at times, she isn't the worst we have had but long gone are the days of her refusing to walk, now she is loving it a little too much needing some reining in but nothing a few training classes won't sort.

Florence has been walked with various dogs since being here, though she doesn't really know what to do around them (perhaps a bit put off from her previous attack from a dog) but we have seen no malice or reactivity from her - if anything she wiggles at some of them! We do however think she is best being the only dog and getting all the TLC, 121 love and attention all to herself without the worry of other dogs.

Once she knows you she is the most affectionate girl, she loves to have cuddles and give lots of kisses! Hopefully we can find her a home for Christmas and make all of her wishes come true as number one is to get out of kennels, she hates it bless her!!

Danny

Danny alike many of his fellow greyhounds has come out of the other side of racing and is now looking for his first real and most importantly, forever home!

On the lead Danny walks really well, never really straying too far from your side unless he spots something that might be worth a chase then he just needs a reminder that he is in fact attached to a lead.

Danny would be best suited being an only dog, he's met an array since being here, some he likes some he doesn't - just like humans, you can't like everyone! So a nice home where he can be the centre of someone's world and not have to share an ounce of fuss (or food!) would be perfect!

In the playpen he does like a zoom round and sniff, he also likes plenty of fuss and watching the other dogs enjoy their walks. He isn't overly enamored on toys but he will chase, especially if is squeaks!

Danny is a pleasure to have around and we can't wait to find him a home where he will bring as much joy to his new owners!
