Jenka – 13 year old female Cairn Terrier
Jenka is a 13 year old female Cairn Terrier currently being fostered in Nantwich, Cheshire who originally came into our care back in Dec 2008, she was abandoned and left by the owner who was traced by the Inspector. Jenka was rehomed over a year ago but sadly because of Jenka being so vocal her owner cannot cope. Jenka does bark a lot, normally when she wants something i.e. to go out, to eat etc.
Jenka is spayed, fully vaccinated, micro-chipped and health checked. She’s got a slight heart murmur which is common in older dogs, she has a “smokers cough” according to the vet. When she first come in she had been badly neglected but several visits to the vets, an operation and a full dental had given Jenka a new lease of life. Jenka had gone through so much, she was a real fighter! Jenka’s fur was long and matted.
Jenka had been with us several months and she really enjoyed life with her fosterer at the time-she wasn’t a problem at all. She loves her walks immensely so needs several a day but she also likes plenty of snoozes. She cannot be off lead so needs a big garden for off lead exercise. She is not food or toy possessive. She will need occasional visits to the groomers. She’s the kind of dog who is happier if she chooses where she wants to sleep, she may be happier sleeping near or with her new owner; however she doesn’t like going upstairs!
Jenka is now fine with dogs, she particularly loves male dogs. Her current owner feels that she would be better off with a male owner or a couple as she seems to love men! She is house trained and travels ok but took a lot of hard work to get her used to the car. We believed Jenka to be hard of hearing when she was with us previously but it may actually be selective hearing!
We need an experienced terrier owner. Ideally we are looking for a pet and child free home; however we would consider a male dog as a companion if they get on. She needs someone who is around all the time, perhaps you are retired?
We are so saddened that Jenka is being rehomed again at her age; we know her owner has worked hard with Jenka as did her foster Mum; we love her to bits and dearly want her to find her forever home where her new owner will be more forgiving of her vocal abilities! She’s such a sweet dog, full of character, remember just because she’s an oldie doesn’t mean she’s not active; her age deceives us!
3Mar2010 | RSPCA Macclesfield South East Cheshire and Buxton | READ MOREAnya – 10 year old female German Shepherd Dog Cross
Anya is a 10 year old German Shepherd cross girl who is with the RSPCA being fostered in Bollington, Cheshire because her owner was committed under the Mental Health Act and Anya was left in the property, a friend went in daily to see to her.
Anya is spayed, we’ve had her microchipped, wormed, flead and started vaccinations. She is a healthy dog and in great condition. She has an infection by one of her teeth (they are generally in very good condition) so is on Antibiotics for that.
Anya is medium in size and is a lovely sweet girl. She has lived with a dog before and is fine with them, however she likes to chase cats apparently! We don’t know if she’s ever lived with children so we don’t want to rehome her with toddlers but she will make a lovely family pet.
We’ve established that at first she is incredibly shy and her behaviours indicate that’s she’s experienced ill treatment. However, it doesn’t take long to bond with you at all; she loves her fosterer Aunty Connie!
Anya loves playing ball and loves her chews. She is not toy or food possessive and walks well on the lead.
She is housetrained and loves lazing in front of the fire. This girl so deserves to find a new family she can call her own who will dote on her! Please do not let her age put you, 10 for a cross breed is not old!
Max – 4 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Max is a 4 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier boy who was brought in by an Inspector because the owner couldn’t care for Max, he needed veterinary treatment that she couldn’t afford and she had an addiction that affected her caring for Max adequately. Max is now castrated, microchipped, flead, wormed and is vaccinated.
Max really is a very sweet, lovely little dog, he’s very friendly and is not over boisterous for his age. We don’t know what kind of life he had but when he first meets you he’s quite submissive and exhibits behaviours of being ill treated, it’s so sad but he soon comes round. He has many scars but we don’t know how he has received these wounds.
Max just wants to please. He is so gentle when giving his paw or taking treats, he even reaches up to you for a cuddle. He lived with a teenager and has spent a lot of time with the 2 year old grandchild; he’s good with children and will make a lovely family pet.
He used to live with another dog. Apparently he can be hit and miss with other dogs, mainly the bigger ones. He has been tested with several dogs at the kennels through the fence when he’s been off lead and on lead, one small dog was constantly barking in his face, Max never showed any signs of aggression and never retaliated, his tail wagged a lot too. One dog was aggressive towards him and he retaliated a little. He met a big Lab too but he wasn’t bothered. He has never been around a cat so a cat free home is required.
Max would make someone a lovely pet, he’s very affectionate. He is a cracking dog and it’s such a shame he’s in this situation looking for his forever home. Anyone who meets this boy instantly adores him, he’s won us all over!
1Mar2010 | RSPCA Macclesfield South East Cheshire and Buxton | READ MOREAmber and Blade – 7 year old male and female Boxers
Amber (small with white on her face) and Blade (large with dark face) are two 7 year old Boxers who are still living with their current owner but have been signed over to us for rehoming. The owner has gone through a marriage break-up and does not have the time to give them what they need. They only get one walk a week and don’t have a garden that’s suitable to burn off energy. They are currently in foster care in Macclesfield and are healthy, microchipped, fully vaccinated, wormed and flead. Blade is castrated and Amber will be spayed shortly.
Both dogs are great with children having been brought up with them. They are both very friendly dogs with lots of character. Blade is good with dogs, however Amber can be quite vocal towards them and isn’t keen on smaller dogs. They can’t be rehomed with cats. Neither dog is possessive over anything but Amber doesn’t like it if Blade were to interfere when she’s eating.
They both know a few commands, they are good on the lead but can pull, they travel well and both like to be bathed and groomed. They even share the same crate but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to stretch out and laze around in normal beds! Sadly they are both put outside a lot which they don’t like; they love the company of their human friends!
Amber and Blade are brother and sister and we feel that they would benefit from being rehomed together. As the videos show they like to have a good play and are very close. They will be less energetic than the video depicts having been in a crate all day and not having been walked.
You need to have had dogs before, ideally two at a time. These are two beautiful dogs with temperaments to match, how can you resist their cute scrunched up Boxer faces?!
24Feb2010 | RSPCA Macclesfield South East Cheshire and Buxton | READ MOREBrooke – 8 month old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Brooke is an 8 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier currently being fostered in Wilmslow Cheshire who has been signed over for rehoming by the owner due to a relationship break up and she couldn’t take her dog to the new accommodation. Brooke is fully vaccinated and will be microchipped, wormed, flead and spayed in due course.
Brooke is a typical puppy, full of energy and joy! She is adorable, she is small in size and a traditional Stafford in shape. She is incredibly friendly which is typical of the breed. All she wants to do is play and lie on her back for belly rubs.
Despite having been attacked already by two different dogs she is fine with other dogs, she tends to be quite submissive and wary of some dogs but she is not aggressive. She is good with children having been brought up with a small boy and is being fostered with two young girls. She can be rehomed with a dog but if not we would expect the new owner to continue with dog socialisation.
She is great in the car, is pretty much house trained, she is not toy or food possessive and she likes being bathed and groomed and is good on the lead. Shes not really been off lead in public but her recall is good, ofcourse this will need to be spot on before she can be off lead with the new owner. The only thing she doesn’t like is the hoover!
So, a beautiful little Staffy girl who at such a young age is looking for her forever home!
A puppy really is for life and is very demanding of time and attention. So you must be prepared for a lot of hard work. They teeth for many months which means they will mouth hands and may chew things; they need copious amounts of exercise and stimulation and kind reward training.
24Feb2010 | RSPCA Macclesfield South East Cheshire and Buxton | READ MOREBlue – 3 1/2 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Whippet
Blue is a 3 1/2 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Whippet who came from the Wirral & Chester Branch as a cruelty case back in July 2008, he wasn’t coping well in kennels so we offered a fostering space where he’d been for a few months until he was rehomed January 2009. He is currently in foster care in Swadlincote, Derbyshire.
Sadly due to his owners relationship break up Blue is being left 12 hours a day on his own, his owner is very sad at having to rehome him but he cannot give Blue what he needs. We are trying to rehome him from his current home till we have space. Blue is castrated, vaccinated, and microchipped.
Blue came into RSPCA care originally as he had a broken back leg that had not been treated for some time. Because of this most of his muscle had wasted away on that leg. This healed after months of rehabilitation and had built up muscle and strength nicely. As can be seen by the videos it does not affect his play or walking but he does have a limp which he’ll probably always have.
Blue is such an affectionate and friendly dog, he loves people. Blue is ok with some dogs but not others, when on lead he’ll have a sniff and be fine but off the lead he’s not so good with dogs. He does need off lead exercise but it’s best where there are no distractions. His recall is very good unless there is something more interesting about like another dog then you’ll struggle to get him back! He is a clever dog who is very quick to learn, having picked up the sit, stay, down, leave, wait, fetch, off and out/in commands.
Blue is very toy orientated and loves to play games and chase balls; he thrives from stimulating games. Blue is house trained and walks well on the lead, although he does pull to start with. He loves travelling in the car. He hasn’t lived with children but has been around the grandchildren many times and loves the attention. We’d prefer a home with older children as he can be quite bouncy.
Blue hates water so bathing is out of the question and he doesn’t like rain although he loves to be groomed. He’s not at all toy or food possessive. He is really good at the vets.
We speak very highly of Blue, he’s the softest dog with a loving nature and very nice temperament, he’s incredibly handsome, he’s actually blue and white in colour, really quite rare! Due to being anxious initially in a new home he may chew a little if left alone-this is worst case scenario! He has been let down too many times in his short life, this dog needs a secure home. He is very much loved by his owner but we need to find him a new home asap!
17Feb2010 | RSPCA Macclesfield South East Cheshire and Buxton | READ MORELilly – 21 month old female Greyhound
Lilly is a 21 month old female Greyhound who is currently being fostered in Disley, Cheshire. Lilly (was named Ernie by owner due to having a hernia!) came in with her brother Milo who has since found a loving home. Working with the same organisation we saved Lilly from being put to sleep. She was one of the 70 Greyhounds (including her brothers and sisters) facing destruction due to the trainer closing down. Lilly had never known a home until she came into our care only a kennel. She has not been trained or used to race.
Lilly has been wormed, flead, vaccinated and been microchipped. She has been spayed, had the hernia removed and has had a scale and polish on her teeth.
Lilly did find a home but the owner felt she was too big for her (always having small dogs previously) and couldn’t cope with the toileting in the garden. It’s not Lilly’s fault she is back, she really is perfect and despite her adopter returning her she says the same.
Lilly is not a big greyhound but is beautiful. She is good with other dogs so can be rehomed with them. In fact she would love a play mate. As with all greys she is very friendly and is great on the lead. We’ve no idea what Lilly is like with cats but we’d rehome her with children/teens as she’s so passive yet playful.
Lilly can be shy of new people and wary of some men, this is not surprising considering her past. For Lilly everything was new from things like walks out and about, roads, household appliances, TV’s, the hoover, carpet, doors, heating, even down to things like good food, toys and treats! Lilly has accepted all these things with no problems. She is very clean in the house.
What the new owner needs to be aware of is that she doesn’t toilet out on walks generally, she tends to use the garden. We feel she would not like to be confined to a room when being left, Greyhounds are generally happier when they have space.
Contrary to common belief Greyhounds don’t need excessive amounts of exercise; they enjoy normal walks like any other breed. They love their home comforts, they need a raised stand for feeding, a greyhound collar, a coat for cold and wet weather and a big cushion type bed to spread out on!
If you are looking for a gentle, affectionate, placid dog then please adopt Lilly, what a little princess she is!
9Feb2010 | RSPCA Macclesfield South East Cheshire and Buxton | READ MORESusie and Max – 8 1/2 and 7 1/2 year old female and male Greyhound and Collie Cross
Susie 8 ½ year Greyhound and Max is a 7 1/2 year Collie cross currently in kennels on the Staffordshire/Cheshire border. They have come into RSPCA care with 2 cats who have since been rehomed. The owner abandoned them all in a property. Both have been health checked, microchipped, wormed, flead and fully vaccinated. Susie is already spayed and we’ve had Max castrated, he has also had several teeth removed.
The note that the owner left with the dogs said Susie has a sensitive jaw. That was because her teeth were in a terrible state, worse case we’ve seen in a long time, poor girl had all teeth removed bar 3 and a lot of them just fell out and her claws were very overgrown.
Susie is a really sweet, gentle friendly girl. She is small for a Greyhound. She is fine with cats and dogs. As far as we know she’s not lived with children but we have no concerns.
Like Susie, Max seems fine with cats and is ok with most dogs but not all. Max may have been beaten with a lead when young as a note was left to say that he is growly towards the lead so has never worn one-he’s always been scared of them and he is petrified of chains too. As the videos show he walks really well on the lead now; we’ve worked out how he likes us to put it on and off we go!
(Susie)
Max is very friendly and likes fusses and treats. Max will need a child free home. He likes to bark when people come and go but he is really sweet and a nice friendly boy.
(Max)
We really want to keep Max and Susie together because they stress when apart. We’d prefer it if you’ve had 2 dogs previously or general experience owning rescue dogs. Please consider this gorgeous pair as your new pets, they deserve to find a loving home and never be deserted again.
9Feb2010 | RSPCA Macclesfield South East Cheshire and Buxton | READ MORERoxi – 2-4 year old female Rottweiler
Roxi is a 2-4 year old female Rottweiler. Roxi has had a really bad time. She was bought from a family who we can’t trace by a man with 2 other dogs, one of the dogs was not getting on with Roxi so he sold her to a so called friend who decided he’d start beating her on a regular basis in order to “toughen her up”.
Another man decided to join in on one occasion and apparently broke a knuckle through punching her very hard on the head. Thankfully some kind people went round and bought her in order to save her from this misery. Words fail all those that have been involved with helping Roxi.
Roxi is microchipped, she has been wormed, flead and started vaccinations. She has inflammation in her left her which could’ve been caused by one of the blows to her head, she has ear drops for this. She will be spayed in due course.
Roxi is small for a Rottweiler, sadly her tail has been docked. We’ve been told she’s 4 but the vet agrees she could only be 2. She is the friendliest girl, she has a lovely nature and sits on command, she’s great on the lead and travels really well, when she first gets in the car she cowers but once in she’s fine. She has been great on the occasions she’s been to the vets.
We are not sure if she’s ok with dogs in generally, we think she’s ok with some but not with others. We’ve been told she’s grown up in a family with toddlers, we have no concerns at all but because little is known about her past we’d rather a child and pet free home. We’re looking for someone who’s had Rotties before.
Roxi is so well behaved and considering what she’s been through she is so friendly and soft as a brush! Please can you give this poor little girl a safe and loving forever home?
5Feb2010 | RSPCA Macclesfield South East Cheshire and Buxton | READ MOREMilo – 6 year old male Husky cross Labrador
Milo is a lovely 6 year old male Husky cross Labrador. Milo is still with his owner until we get a space in the kennels, in the meantime we’d like to rehome him direct from his current home. He’s been signed over for rehoming because the husband had a bad car accident which has left him with some problems and they thought getting a dog would help him but they found they just cannot cope with having a dog, 2 toddlers and 2 cats. He has only been with them since October.
Milo is a stunning dog; he is good with cats, children and dogs, a lovely placid and every so friendly nature. We feel he would benefit more from living with another dog (it is policy that existing dogs must be neutered and ideally vaccinated) or at least socialising with other dogs every day. He is very good on the lead, loves his walks and needs plenty of off lead exercise; his recall is good but if he doesn’t get enough exercise he tends to have selective hearing!
He is not food or toy possessive and loves carrots, apples and melon! His fave toys are ropes, squeaky toys and balls, he also likes his rawhide. He is very obedient knowing a few commands and is generally a very relaxed and calm dog who loves to play.
Milo will need a very secure garden as he can easily jump 4-5ft fencing. He’s the kind of dog who would suit a home in the country or at least lots of decent country walks. This dog has previously been passed from pillar to post so his future is of the utmost importance to us. Who would not want a dog that’s as perfect and intelligent as Milo?
