Happy Ending: Sparrow has found a non working home with a couple living in three acres with three other JRTs. They are going to continue the work which has been and are going to look into some agility classes in the area to keep him mentally stimulated. Let's hope this brings another member to the agility family.  (24/07/09)

CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW

History: Sparrow has been at the Dogs Trust for six months undergoing a retraining programme. He is now more than ready for a new home.
Description: Sparrow is a black and white wire-coated Parson Russell. He is a bright and active little man who loves to do! He loves the company of other dogs and is very tolerant in play. He is ball crazy and would definitely suit a flyball home. Sparrow picks things up very quickly and is keen to please. During his time here he has been learning some basics in obedience and agility and although still has much more to learn is now ready for his new home.
Rehoming criteria: Sparrow needs a very experienced home due to his keen and active temperament new owners need to have experience of the breed and want to do something with him. This is not a pet dog and will not be happy unless being kept well stimulated. In the right homes this little man will be a super star.

Happy Ending: Cindy has now gone to a new home. She is initially on a three month trial period but I am quite hopeful she has found her forever home. (17/07/09)

CINDY

History: Cindy was owned by same owner from a very tiny puppy as her mother had been run over. She is needing a new home now due to marriage split up.
Description: Cindy is a black and white collie. She lived with a family but is at present scared of strangers. She panic barks and goes off and hides when people visit the house. However, outside she will play ball whilst they stand nearby and is starting to trust people.  She is fine with other dogs and is ball and toy driven and would retrieve all day long if you let her. She is eager to please and food orientated. I gained her trust within a day and she now follows me everywhere. She loves to go out in the car and runs happily with my lot in open spaces. She gets a bit stressed if left alone and at present barks. She’s a very quick learner and loves to please. She ran through a pipe tunnel to get her ball and over a low jump. Although nervous of strangers she’s not worried about general noise such as bangs etc.
Rehoming criteria: She needs someone experienced with collies with the time and patience to win her trust. I can’t keep her as I have eight dogs already so she needs an experienced home asap - before I get too attached! Being a working collie, she needs somewhere where she’ll get lots of exercise and mental stimulation.
Child friendly: Yes, once she gains confidence. She was very content around and would play with a small child who she knew.
Able to live with cats: Not sure, although has seen a cat and didn't chase.

Happy Ending: Daisy is staying with Val at Valgrays. I just love her so much and have put so much time and work into her, She and i are devoted to each other. Val  (17/07/09)

DARLING DAISY

History: Daisy was a stray, collected by dog warden and has done her seven days. When these dogs are strays they only have seven days to find a rescue space, if no space is found sadly they are PTS. When I looked at Daisy her eyes just melted me, so I took the chance in saving her and she came home with me,
Description: If you think that Britain has talent, well this lurcher is the biggest talent ever. Daisy is a beautiful dark brindle lurcher with a nature to die for. She has not put a foot wrong since she has been here. She has some war wounds of her previous life, split ears, rope burns around front legs, but she is lovely. Daisy is faster than a collie. She is lovely with other dogs, gorgeous with children and who knows what she would be like in agility. She has been up my A-frame into the tube tunnel and over a couple of fences. She likes her balls to play with and, in a few months when she is back in tip top condition, she is going to look like a princess. I took the chance - surely someone else now will give her the forever home she deserves. 
Rehoming criteria: A forever home...

JACK

History: This is Jack. He was loved very much by his previous owners, but they were OAPs and just could not manage him, so they have asked us to get him a wonderful home.
Description: Jack is a lovely tri colour lad, with a wonderful nature. He would be really good in any working environment as he loves his tuggy, has good motivation and has also good nose work.  He is very driven when playing and this would be very good for training. He is a real nice lad with a lot of growing up to do. Jack is going to have a lovely long coat and has really nice kind eyes. He has no hang ups. He is excellent with other dogs, people etc. travels well in van and is happy in a crate.
