Very Little to Add

Mr B (which I have taken to calling him) is still here, no viewings, no interest and hes just like one of the family now. So much so we have decided we want to add another foster dog to the family as he really is too easy (if thats possible) and I feel like I'm not doing much rescuing at the moment haha. Its amazing how one dog can totally block you up. I'm hoping another foster dog will help socialise Binx more and get him used to other dogs, even if it may take an hour or two of a long walk and careful introductions. Jack is an older jack russel, however does have a viewing this weekend so if he does get rehomed he obviously won't be coming here. There is also a possible gsd x collie. I will keep you updated on this matter though as at the moment it is just waiting and seeing what happens.

Would like to quickly talk about young Digger here. Digger is a lhasa apso in with the rescue at the moment. I went to see him the other day to get his vaccinations done and what a quiet boy he is. He is so nervous at first and wouldn't come anywhere near me, but he was quite interested in saying hello to our Sally. After the vets though he was quite happy to bound around the house and do a leap towards me which makes me realise how adorable he is! Diggers website ad is below
Experienced patient, stable home and lifestyle with financial security needed for this little man.  He must sleep on the bed with his owner and he is not yet 100% house trained due to fear. 
Digger is a 2 years old Lhasa who is a little sweetheart.  He desperately needs a very experienced, kind, patient owner with loads of time for him, who isn't going to give up on him, as he needs a stable, forever home.
Digger has fear issues, he is scared of everything, the whole world is such a scary place when you are a little dog.  Traffic, other dogs, even the wind makes him scared.  A Lhasa with his tail down is an unhappy Lhasa, just look at his face and you can see by the photos he is anxious when out and about.
Digger is not 100% house trained and must never be shouted at for having an accident because fear is one of the main reasons and he will simply get more and more wound up if told off and get worse instead of better.
Digger adores children.
He could live with a kind, friendly, confident dog.  Unknown with cats.
We are looking for someone around most of the time, children over 10 years, a lifestyle with stability and financial security and mature, sensible, intelligent people who can cope with a little dog with issues without finding it all too difficult.
Update from the foster Richard
Digger cried pitifully the first night so i had no choice but to take him to sleep in bed with me and he cuddled up happily so that is what i have done every night.  He doesn't take much room and keeps my feet warm.  Digger is so scared on a walk, this wind and rain doesn't help.  He has occasional accidents in the house so i keep taking him out regularly to encourage him to go outside.  He is such a sweet little boy and really likes children.  He is a bit thin but healthy enough.  He travels well in the car and is a good boy in the house.  He will make a lovely pet for someone who really knows how to love a dog, and give him lots of walks.  

Now I am absolutely knackered and have a busy working week ahead and no doubt it won't be long till i start panicking about the amount of college work I have to do but theres only 4 months left of that and the future begins there. I did go see Chip aka my old foster Roo the other day and he is doing fantastically as ever!
