Happy Ending: Jasper has been rehomed.

JASPER

History: We have had Jasper as a rescue from eight months old. The reason why we are rehoming him is because he is scared of children, He has herding tendencies with young children and has nipped my nephew. Jasper is brilliant with older children and adults, but cannot cope with young children.
Description: Jasper is a smooth-coated, black and white Collie. He has done about 6 months of agility training and picked it up really well. He also tried flyball a few times, but prefers agility. He is obedient and completely housetrained. He loves the water, is good with other dogs and is great in the car. He does shadow chase but this is improving all the time. This behaviour was inherited from a previous owner.
Rehoming criteria: We would love Jasper to go to an experienced collie owner who would continue with his agility training.

Happy Ending: Madge has found a new home. (13/10/10)

MADGE

History: Madge has been a very well looked after as a pet in a family home with a young child. She is, however, very demanding and keen to be doing something other than quiet walks around the field.
Description: She is ball crazy and will find and retrieve all day. This would be such an advantage as an agility dog. All her basic training has been done, and we are now stepping that up. She has also started agility training and she loves it.
Rehoming criteria: A home where Madge is an important part of daily life is essential. She can be nervous of men so this must be worked through, but this girl could be fantastic in the right home.

Happy Ending: Milo has gone to a loving family home and is being spoilt rotten. (18/10/10)

MILO

History: Milo is a young working type cocker. He was bought as a family pet. His mum is show Cocker and dad is a Working Cocker. We have had him from seven weeks old.
Description: Milo is the size of a Working Cocker, orange and white, and always willing to learn. He is a loving, friendly dog who is very full of energy but unfortunately we are a working family and don't have the time to help him burn it off. He has no hang ups at all. He was assessed as a possible sniffer dog but was deemed too submissive. He is great with other dogs and fantastic with children, although a little bouncy around them. He is used to a kennel and is house trained.
Rehoming criteria: Milo needs an active home where he will be given lots of physical and mental stimulation. He would make a superb agility dog, not the sort of dog who likes a lazy life.

PETE & MR TEA

History: Pete and Mr Tea came from a working farm that just did not want them. 
Description: Pete is a blue merle with a 1/2 black face & Mr Tea is a very dark tri merle. They are both lovely puppies with lots to give. Both puppies have some eye problems, they have seen a eye specialist, and they can see 100% out of one eye with some vision with the other. This does not stop them in any way, they are fun boys with lots to give. They are both in a foster home, with other dogs/cats/rabbits and kids. They are crate trained and just about house trained.

Happy Ending: Twist has now been homed to an agility home. (31/10/10)

TWIST OF FATE OF VALGRAYS

History: Twist was with a family who could not cope with his energy level. They loved him a great deal, but he is definitely a busy boy. 
Description: Twist has a great nature and is 100% sound with everyone and anything. He was tried out for film work by one of my friends but he was just a bit sensitive. Twist has lots of tricks under his belt now and has a wonderful recall. He has played over some agility equipment and boy, does this dog love it! Twist is going to be some top class agility dog in the right hands, and I can see that in ABC he will reach stardom. He is quick, fast, responsive and just loves everything. We cannot fault him one bit. If I was younger he would be my dream dog.
Rehoming criteria: We are only considering a working agility home for Twist because he just loves a job to do.

Happy Ending: Wiley has found a new home through another rescue centre.

WILEY

History: Wiley came into the Home as a stray so we do not have any history.
Description: Wiley is a medium-sized, shorthaired dog. He is a fun, loveable, clever canine! Wiley will need good mental and physical stimulation and would enjoy a home with owners who may perhaps be interested in agility training as Wiley would love to have fun with his new owners meeting new doggy pals, keeping fit and picking up some prizes along the way.
Rehoming criteria: We are seeking an experienced home in a semi rural/rural environment for Wiley in a multi carer household. Wiley is not suitable to live with young children due to the need for consistent training and control to be maintained. Wiley will need to be the only dog in the household but would benefit from ongoing socialising with other dogs and burn offs out on walks. Wiley is currently being fostered.
Age: 6-12mths
Sex: Male
Neutered: Not yet, but new owners will be issued with a voucher towards the cost of neutering Wiley
Vaccinated: Yes
Micro-chipped: Yes
Flea sprayed & wormed: Yes
Cost: £95
Where dog can be seen:  Battersea, London SW8 4AA (30/09/10)
