There seem to be a number
of adverts on this page that have been running for months. Could you
please let us know if the dog you are advertising is re-homed so the
advert can be removed.
Madou, female approx. 18mths old. German Shepherd
or Belgian Shep X. Medium sized.
I spent yesterday morning with Madou out and about with my dogs and
some client dogs. I am still really impressed by her temperament and
working ability and would love to get her a suitable home.
She was turned down by the Police for general purpose work because
she was too small. In all other ways she is the perfect working dog.
They didn’t have space at the dog unit I visited for an additional
search dog but said they would have taken her for drugs or explosive
work otherwise.
We walked with my Collie, GSD, Springer and Retriever off leash and
she enjoyed herself very much. Her recall is great-even from joggers
with terriers J
She is very strong on leash and displays some mild leash frustration
towards fast moving dogs who dart by her. Off leash she was more interested
in the ball than the dogs. She travelled well (2 hrs in the van) and
seemed to really enjoy being in the van with the others.
Madou needs an experienced working home where she will be given the
guidance to fulfil her potential. She is learning manners, will sit
nicely before the ball is thrown and bring it back for another throw.
She is house trained and settled if restricted at home while her previous
owners worked. She has high energy and brains to burn. She will work
in any dog sport, agility, working trials, obedience and flyball.
Please spread the word. I would love this fabulous girl to be sorted.

available for rehoming RED Belgium Shepherd Malinois.
Red is about 15 months old, he is currently being fostered
by us as he found the kennels to stressfull. He is a very
srong, handsome dog. He is typical of the breed and suspicious
of strangers, although once he gets to know you he is very
confident and will need a strong minded owner. He is still
mouthing quite a lot, and his favourite toy is his metal food
dish!! He is good with other dogs, although he will not be
a bottom of the pack dog. He is castrated and fully vacinated
and microchipped. He is good off lead, and clean. He will
not be able to live with cats. Although still wary in strange
situations, he has never shown aggression. He will still need
a lot of work to make him more confident, but he is a quick
leaner and will make a lovely dog with the right owner.
Please contact Donna Cain on 07765355230 for more details.

WEIMERANER
'WARRICK' (Co. Durham)
Unfortunately after taking very bad advice to muzzle & restrain
Warrick for some unruly behaviour, people in the area regard
him as a monster and a dangerous dog as he barked and lunged
at other dogs. We now know this was frustration at not being
allowed to interact and in one training session with JAcquie
HAll his muzzle was taken off and he was playing off lead with
8 other dogs like a puppy again....with absolutely no aggression
at all!
The training with JAcquie has really given him a new lease of
life but we can not help him futher as people in my area who
knew the previous Warrick still take their dogs in the opposite
direction or threaten to report him if he goes near their dogs
and we dare not let him off lead as at the moment he is still
wanting to go and play! His recall is coming on but not totally
trained yet!.
Warrick is nearly 4 years old now, he is fully house trained
and a real pleasure to be around in the house. His behaviour
indoors is impeciable, he has never chewed anything and never
moves a thing out of place even when left alone. He has a healthy
balanced diet on Oscars food and is generally not a greedy dog.
He adores being around people and loves to sit near the fire
or radiator. He really enjoys to play and is good at retrieving.
He is a lovely, playful, energitic and intelligent dog, he has
so much to offer someone. He has been wormed and fleaed this
month and has had all of his vaccinations and the next ones
are due in August. He was neutered just after Christmas. He
recently visited the vet as his ears were red and sore but they
treated him with drops and he has since been fine.
We would really like him to go somewhere were he can have more
freedom but also be given love and affection. Thank you so much
for everything you have done for Warrick so far, we would really
appreciate it if you could help find someone suitable for him.
Jacquie is prepared to give a reference for Warrick!
If there is anything else you need to know about him, you can
call Andrew Guy anytime on 07963 094703.

Leroy is now about 6mths
old and is a Lab X. He is vaccinated & is about to be neutered.
He spent 3 weeks ot TLC in Stella Morrow's kennels and is now
in foster with Suzy in Berkshire who says. “Leroy is a very intelligent
young boy, who is very keen to learn, and very keen to please
you. He is an adorable little soul who needs some guidance, and
a firm yet calm approach in dealing with some of his problems
which have arisen due to his sad start in life.
He is a very cheeky little thing and, if allowed, will get
away with being cheeky all the time. He gets on very well with
both my 3 yr old Rottweiler (Missy) and my 18 month old Labrador
(Chester).
He is starting to walk nicely on the lead, but due to him being
so young, the training we have started will need to continue.
He sits when told, lays down when told, goes to bed when told,
and comes when he is called, again, continuation of training
is very important at this stage in his life, so he will need
someone who is willing to put the time and effort into him.
He greets other dogs with a sniff and a wag of his tail, and
says 'hey, lets play'.- he gets very excited and bouncy and
is very much a puppy
The problems with Leroy which need to be ironed out are simply
down to him needing to readjust to everyday life with humans
and dogs, as he had a very rocky start. He guards his toys with
Chester and Missy, and sometimes he will allow them to come
near and have a sniff, but other times he will let out a little
growl or two to say 'hey, this is mine, I am playing'!!
At feeding times, he is still being fed in his crate, as this
is where he feels more comfortable, in his own little space,
he is getting better as time goes on, and doesn't mind so much
if one of the dogs walks past him. When he first came here,
he growled to let them know not to come near but this is now
getting a lot better. I have a plan/time table in place to get
Leroy to stop being so guarding against his food and toys with
both dogs and us and every feeding time there is an improvement,
as he wants to please us, but for now it's just a case of building
up the trust between us and breaking the habit of food/toy guarding.
Leroy, if placed in the right home with people who are experienced
with dogs, and who have the time and patience to continue with
his training, will end up being a fantastic companion. He would
be very well suited to a home who can give him an outlet for
his drive and enthusiasm for learning. He would make a super
agility / obedience / working trials dog. He needs to have someone
who can be firm, consistent, and above all, calm. I don't think
he would be suited to a family with young children, as he needs
a calm, quiet environment. He likes to be with us and loves
his belly rubs and cuddles."

Valgrays Border Collie Rescue. We have recently taken in a
beautiful GSD bitch. around 2 ish could be younger from one
of the pounds.......she is black and tan......her nature is
gorg....in fact we cannot fault her......the previous owners
surrendered her as her and the other bitch were having fights!.......we
have found her lovely with all our collies, good, with children,
horses generally meeting people and other dogs out.
This dog has sometime had some work put into her as she is so
obedient....gives paw, heel work is magic.
stays, downs, sits...we in fact have never had her on a lead
as she stays glued to your side.....she is good in traffic and
travel......been clean....she is vaccinnated, spayed, chipped.
i hope that you can help...she is on our website as well, but
personally this girlie deserves a working life.

| K-Nine-Care have Tizzy
a 1 year old Springer Spaniel cross possibly with collie. She
is a small bitch only about 16 inches at the shoulder. This dog
has the most fantastic temperament, loves everyone except cats.
She is a lively intelligent dog but very easy to live with in
the house, housetrained, well behaved, no chewing or separation
anxiety. Tizzy adores kids, we prefer to rehome with kids over
10 years who know how to treat a dog with respect although parents
need to realise she is lively so dog confident kids needed. Would
love to live with another friendly dog if possible. Travels well.
Tizzy has not been trained and she pulls on the lead for the
first 5 minutes then settles nicely so will be easy to train
to walk better. Potential owners will have to demonstrate a
commitment to attending dog training classes and show they are
able to give enough exercise - she will need loads of exercsie
and mental stimulation. This dog must be housed indoors and
not be left alone for more than 4 hours
Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms.
K-Nine-Care have a homecheck procedure and Adopton Contract.
Dogs are ALWAYS accepted back if unsuitable.

THE
ROLE OF WORKING DOGS CO-ORDINATOR AT BATTERSEA DOGS &
CATS HOME.
If

please either call Jo Skidmore, 0207 627 9210 or email workingdogs@battersea.org.uk
LOUIS
is a labrador, aged about 18mths old and recently neutered.
He is, at present, in a foster home.
He really is a lovely boy and all he needs is a home that he
can call his own.
He is excellent with
other dogs. He has run happily with other labradors (male and
female) and with golden retrievers aswell as a Bernese mountain
dog, a whippet, a GSD and a couple of crosses.
He is a typical young
lab who is full of beans and needs somebody active and experienced
to call his own. He reminds me of Chance in the Incredible Journey...............always
into everything and saying "what can I do next?" "life
is sooo exciting" "let me at it, let me at it".
He is very fit and
would make a great agility or working trials dog. He certainly
seems to have an active brain which he definitely needs to use
to keep him out of trouble. He loves people and he really does
want to please but, bless him, he doesn't always know how.
He has now encountered
a horse, who he barked at, but he recalled from the horse immediately
which was great. He does chase after cats that run (most dogs
do) but, apparently, when one stood it's ground, he totally
lost interest, which is absolutely fine.
People, mostly men,
have been pretty horrible to him in the past so he can still
be suspicious at first but he has now taken to a few different
men which is a huge step forward for him.
He is not food possessive
and will eat gently from your hand but, unfortunately, he will
guard stolen bootee. Any prospective adopter will have to be
prepared to give him time to settle and time for him to learn
to trust them whilst setting the ground rules from day one.
He responds extremely well to confident handling with plently
of vocal rewards.
Louis is a very likeable
dog and one who, with a little work by someone, will turn into
a wonderful companion and friend.

I have rescued
a 18 month old border collie she was going to be shot,
i really don't have the room for her but could not bear
to see her hurt again, she has come with some issues,
guards her food, that is slowly being retrained not to
guard the dish, she guards her crate when in it, but she
is only put into that at night now, she is house trained
and crate trained, she does not like children so needs
to be rehomed without any children at all, she gets on
with other dogs once she has settled, i have had her 6
days and she is happily playing with my pack, i have had
her training at agility and she loved it, also took her
over the flyball jumps and loved that, she loves and tennis
ball and will play and play for hours, she can be very
sharp and nip when something moves to fast typical collie,
she has found the ball when i threw it into long grass
without a problem, she also can clear a 4 foot fence without
trying we found this out as she was put behind it while
i was getting equipment out she jumped it without even
trying she was sitting under neath it, she needs to go
to a working home, she is not a lap dog, i can not keep
her as i have all of my own, and my own young puppy, i
would prefer her to go to maybe a home where she is the
only dog or one other older dog , she traveled well in
my van when i collected her from the family, please can
anyone help her i need to rehome asap . i am in the hartlepool
area

My parents bought
a border collie puppy recently but since then my mother
has become ill and can no longer give her the care she needs.
They have therefore decided to try and rehome her.
Bordercollierescue.org
seem to think that the behaviours I have described means
she should go to a working home.

| Good
home needed for Beth:
I have a lab x collie,
who I fostered as a puppy. Beth is black with a white streak
down her chest. She is a medium sized dog with a body not disimilar
to a lab but with a smallish face like a collie. She has been
neutered.
I have rehomed her twice, the first time she came back through
no fault of her own. The second time, she was returned because
she barked at people and other dogs when walked and the family
felt that they could not cope with it. She is very affectionate
with us; but shows fear aggression to those that she does not
know. The aggression shows itself mainly by barking, but she
did nip a visitor to our home. She is also a bit of a bully
towards one of my small dogs, but is fine with the others. Norman
Mason thinks that with training she would make a good trial
dog. She had a bad start to life and was dumped with her sister
in a dustbin when approx 12 weeks old. She really needs a good
home with somebody who would be committed to helping her. She
is now 1 year old.

Benjamin
Benjamin is a 12 month old crossbreed who was originally a puppy
adopted when he was 8 weeks old. Unfortunately his last owners
did not carry out the necessary training and socialisation which
is vital for youngsters and he was returned to Dogs Trust because
of his boisterous behaviour. Benjamin is a very clever, obedient
dog who knows many commands and responds very well. He has a
friendly nature although is very lively. With other dogs he
is ok but prefers people! Benjamin is highly strung in kennels
and as such does not show himself well to visitors. We are looking
for a committed experienced home, where his training can be
continued. We would consider temporary foster carers, under
our Home from Home scheme, until a permanent home can be found.
Please contact myself at the centre if indeed you are interested.

BEN
Ben has been with us since January 2006. He has been re homed
once, but unfortunately this didn't work out. He is a fabulous
dog, and consequently we need a very special home for him. Being
a German Shepherd cross Rottweiler Ben is very intelligent.
His intelligence needs to be channelled in a way that Ben's
new owner gets the best out of him, and he is kept occupied
in a positive and constructive way.Ben is eager to learn and
knows the commands 'sit, stay, down'. He loves playing with
toys and enjoys ball games. He retrieves, and will also search
out a toy. Playing games with Ben is an excellent way to bond
with him. Because Ben is strong willed and can be boisterous,
we are teaching him ways to be more polite when communicating
with us. Ben travels well, he is affectionate and loves cuddles.
He enjoys his walks, and loves sniffing around plants and trees!Ben
needs a home where he is the only companion animal, as he does
enjoy chasing cats and can be too boisterous for most dogs.
Because of his size, strength and his need to learn some manners,
he would be unsuitable in a home with children.If you have experience
of a dog like Ben, and believe you have the time, energy and
commitment to look after him, please make enquiries about him.Ben
is a big dog with a rottie-type head but the build and shape
of a large shepherd.Ben has much to give. To
find out more about Ben please contact Clare by email at Felixstowe.Bluecross.org.UK
