Lucky dogs

The fairy tale doesn't always end with the hero/heroine riding off into the sunset but these dogs have been given another chance. We don't always know where they go, but when we do hear anything, we will try to pass on the news. This month 4 dogs found new homes, many of them going to agility homes so watch out them on the show circuit.

Dogs are featured in alphabetical order.

Happy Ending: Mekah went to her new home this weekend. Thank you so much for helping to find this girl her forever home. Maybe one day she will be seen on the circuit.  (28/02/10)

MEKAH

History: We do not have any history for Mekah. She is currently in foster and has been assessed as having potential as an agility or flyball dog. 
Description: Mekah needs an experienced owner who will give her the time, physical and mental stimulation she needs. She is extremely loyal, loving and forms a strong bond with the person she spends most of her time with, she will be best suited to someone who’s around most of the day. She is very clever and becomes bored very quickly; she would make an excellent agility/trials dog, as she loves new adventures and would enjoy the physical and mental stimulus. She has an incredibly loving temperament, a typical Belgian sense of humour - cheeky, wicked, and sometimes over enthusiastic, in the nicest way! She loves other dogs, gets on well with children and enjoys training and lots of exercise.
Rehoming criteria: In accordance with Hope rescue guidelines
Child friendly: 
Yes, but she is boisterous, so teenage children only

Breed: Border Collie

ContactRing Ingrid Godfrey on tel. 01460 242740 or m. 07836 579985

Happy Ending: Rosie no longer needs a home.  (02/02/10)

ROSIE

History: Rosie is a very loving Border Collie with a good temperament. She used to live out on the farm but since moving to a new farm has been unable to settle so have brought her back to live in the house. Unfortunately our GSD is very dominant and bullies her. Having a one year old child, I would hate our daughter to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and get bitten.
Description: Rosie is a very active dog. She is fast with it and she comes when called.   
Rehoming criteria: Would enjoy an active life and some more training. Rosie isn't that good as a farm dog - think I spoilt her too much as a puppy or so my husband says!

No
Age: 3 years old
Sex:
Bitch
Neutered:
No
Vaccinated:
Yes
Micro - chipped: Yes
Flea sprayed & wormed: Yes
Cost: Free to a good loving home

Breed:
Whippet X Collie

Happy Ending: To quote my son, who is 'Wolfwood,' Solo went to an awesome home, though it was not agility based. We had Solo with us a long time. Any prospective new owners were vetted and eventually, with the help of your website, the right owners found us. He will have a wonderful life. The new owners travelled a long way and stayed in the area overnight, spending hours with Solo before he went on his way. We frequently keep contact with new owners and receive photos and reports, I'm sure they will challenge him. (02/02/10)

SOLO

History: Solo was acquired from the local dog pound at the beginning of July 2009 and has been on our rehoming website since then. Although initially attracting slight interest, the right home has not been found. Solo has been with us in kennels since July. He relates well to everyone and everything. During his time with us he has grown and put on some much needed weight.
Description: Solo is a medium-sized dog who is light tan in colour. He is a loving and intelligent dog. He is eager to learn, enjoys interaction, is very observant, alert, highly strung and is very fast. A friend took him out on a six mile run. The friend was shattered on return, but Solo would have gone again! He is a bundle of energy waiting to be released and, although we love him and he is happy, kennels are only temporary. He doesn't have a family to call his own and deserves to fulfil his potential in the security and love of a permanent home. He will love agility training and be a rewarding dog to adopt.
Rehoming criteria: Solo needs a safe home where new owners have the time to commit to him. He needs to be physically and mentally challenged, not left alone for long hours. He deserves to be with people and will make a brilliant and loyal companion for the right people.
Child friendly: Yes
Able to live with cats: Yes
Age: Between 9 months and a year old
Sex: Dog
Neutered: Yes
Vaccinated: Yes
Micro-chipped: Yes
