Quick Recovery

So within a day of being to the vets to be neutered, Mr Binx was outside for a walk and back to his usual happy self. I have never seen a dog recover so well! He has not even being bothered by it and hasn't tried to lick once so thankfully haven't had to cone him! So happy for him and the quick recovery has meant we have arranged another viewing for Binx on Monday with the couple I have spoke about before and their three dogs! If it goes well Binx will be rehomed next week. 

Binx is doing so well, theres not much more to add. He is going to be joining me at work tomorrow to try get some donations in for the rescue. No doubt he will love the attention... and peeing absolutely everywhere :P

No doubt I will update you either Monday or Tuesday letting you know how the viewing went, everyone please keep your fingers and paws crossed for this little man

A whole New Dog

So first I'd like to just touch the viewings that I mentioned the other day. I went to see Pippa and remembered what a mad dog she is, full of so much energy. She really is a fantastic dog and although the viewing went well the couple unfortunately didn't feel Pippa was right for them. So its back to the drawing board for Pippa but we really do want the perfect home for her as she is the perfect dog! 

Now onto Binx. Binx also had a viewing on Sunday and his also went very well. A retired couple who have three cairns came over without there dogs to meet him and I think its fair to say they've fallen for him. So much so that they are constantly wanting updates on the little boy so fingers crossed when he meets their dogs they will all get along and Binx will have his forever home.

On Monday Binx went to the groomers and is now looking amazing! Binx was very well behaved and patience and it was an amazing difference after. Mr Binx has not only lost a lot of hair but has also lost some years and now looks like an adorable young boy. The vet even thinks he is younger than the original 4/5 year old estimate! Under his long hair was a lovely grey brindle pattern which makes him look like a little silver tiger. He really is gorgeus, but obviously because of the weather we are covering him up for the most part with a nice warm fleece. Today Mr Binx is at the vets getting neutered, a dental and microchipped and lets hope he recovers quickly so his interested potential owners can come see him again :)

Busy Week Rescuewise

Wow, so it really has been a busy week. Obviously Tyke was rehomed and then we welcomed Mr Binx into the rescue. Mr Binx is a 4 year old cairn terrier, possibly crossed with a skye terrier. Currently Mr Binx is in a bit of a state and very scratty as can be seen from the pictures, but he is due in at the groomers on Monday so will be much better then. 

Mr Binx is a very friendly little boy who loves people and is good with other dogs. He loves following me around and being with me at all times. His favourite place is the back of the sofa where he sits and then puts his little paws on my shoulder. He is a very quiet little boy and loves to be snuggled up on the sofa. That being said if the door is open he will go outside and run and have a good sniff around, having selective hearing and only coming in when it suits him. When he comes in he will then run straight back out as soon as you get near the door. He has a very cheeky nature. Binx is fully housetrained, however will mark the house a lot at first until he has made the territory his own. This will hopefully be improved when he is neutered and hopefully so will the smell of pee that keeps clinging to his long fur. Binx does suffer from separation anxiety and will howl if left, however won't destroy the house and I'm sure he quietens down after a while and just sits by the window. 

Other than being a smelly little boy, Binx is very good and friendly and I just can't wait to show him off when he has being groomed! All being well Binx does already have interest and a viewing will be arranged once he is totally free of kennel cough. A retired couple with three cairn terriers would love Binx to join their family and if the viewing goes well Binx will have his forever home with them. They seem lovely and are very knowledgeable of the breed, along with having a secure garden and being around all the time. Just the right home for Binx! He won't even be left when they go away as they take their dogs with them to a cottage in Cornwall! 

Things are also looking up for Pippa who has a viewing with a couple tomorrow evening. I will update you with that tomorrow as I am of course going along to offer advice and make sure they are right for such a perfect girl.

Finally we have another dog coming in on Sunday from a lady moving into a rented house which doesn't allow dogs. As far as I'm aware its a very friendly dog with children and other dogs, however not cat friendly.

The rescue has had a very busy week, however I think I've posted too much for now and have to go to work so bear with me and I'll hopefully update you next week!

New Foster Dog

Just a quick update, I do have a new foster. A 5 year old cairn terrier called Mr Binx... I will update properly later as I must force myself to do assignment work now!! haha

A Home in the Country

So the other day I posted about a couple interested in Tyke and yesterday they came to adopt him. Although their dog was a little unsure at first they both settled down after a short while and it wasn't long until Tyke was on the mans knee giving him 'Please Rehome Me!' slobber. It didn't take long for the wife to fall in love and yesterday he went to his new home in the country with them. Tykes new home consists of a gorgeus house, in the middle of the countryside with many fields for him to run and play in with his new jackapoo sister, Purdy. They are both a similar age and I'm sure in time will become the best of friends. 

I think thats all I can say about him. Heres a picture of how happy he is..

So I'll update you Tuesday with the next dog ;) 

Lucy, Tinks and Sally... for now :) 

Doing Well

Tyke is settling in really well here and there really isn't much to add. He is a perfect little boy, house trained, not destructive if left. He is such a good little boy and as he settles more, his mischievous young nature is coming out. Tyke loves playing with his ball and will fetch it to me to throw to him. His favourite trick is throwing it in the bath and then growling at the bath because he doesn't want to go in it! 

Tyke is on antibiotics for his kennel cough and is getting better but it does seem to flare up at night. His skin is getting much better on his back end and with use of coconut oil its not as dry and flaky now and his hair is growing back alot quicker than expected. He is back at the vets Thursday for a check up and maybe more antibiotics, along with getting microchipped and his extremely long nails clipped down. The aim now is to get him looking his best and rehomed. Tyke has received plenty of interest... who could blame people for falling for this cute little scruffy boy!! Kathy has spoken to a couple who are interested, who already have a little crossbreed so I will be in contact with them later today and hopefully a viewing can be arranged already for this little guy!! Its amazing having so many sticky dogs to have one that is getting interest so quickly.

I'll keep you updated this week and will update on Pippa tomorrow, as I'm taking her to the vets.

Poundie

So Tolley has been rehomed to his forever home and I'm sure he will be very happy now. So today we went to the pound to pick up our next foster dog. I saw Tyke on a website and immediately fell for his scruffy looks and I'm sure he won't be with us long. 

The pound estimated Tyke at 3-4 years, however our vets have said he is between 1 and 2 so only a youngster. Tyke is a full on scruffy small crossbreed. He is currently a tad overweight, has a skin condition on his back end which is more than likely due to a bad flea infestation and has bad kennel cough which will need treating before he is vaccinated. Other than that he is in good condition and with a bit of TLC he will be looking gorgeus. Tyke is a very friendly, playful dog. He loves people and other dogs and greets dogs very well, with a quick sniff as a hello and wag of his tail. He is not over the top and didn't react to Sally barking away at him for no reason. He loves playing with his ball and is trained to sit down. He is also very gentle in taking food and he seems housetrained. It seems so odd to have such a perfectly behaved little man and at the moment I think he would suit anyone who wants a little dog to join their family. Tyke was left for a couple of hours today and wasn't destructive, however did try bolt out when I left so he will need someone speedy with a secure front garden preferably, in case he does get out. At the moment that is the only fault I can see and that isn't too bad at all. I will keep you updated, he does need to return to the vets tomorrow due to having a high temperature today. Fingers crossed he won't be with us too long. He isn't the easiest dog to get photos of but I will try tomorrow, these are some taken from the pound. 


Pippa is doing well with her new foster and came to see me today at work. Shes still over the top with attention and love but it was nice to get a big Pippa slobber. I will be taking her to the vets next week for her booster vaccs so can post more about her then.

So thats all for now,

Bonfire Night

I would like to just do a quick post regarding bonfire night. Can you please please take care. Make sure dogs are kept inside and only let them out on a lead. Too many dogs are going missing due to being spooked by fireworks. So make sure they are tagged and hopefully they'll be chipped. If your dogs are frightened, close the curtains, turn the TV up and make sure they have a comfy den to hide in. There are mixed opinions on fussing dogs but in my opinion it depends on the intensity of the fear. Tinks is very scared so is currently laying in my hoodie close to my body but some dogs will take the attention as praise. And can I just urge people to just attend big events rather than setting them off in your garden. It is much safer for everyone.
