Winnie – 1 1/2 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Winnie is a 1 1/2 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Winnie was found stray at a young age in season. She has since settled and is receiving support in what are challenging times for her. She is very loving and will be the dog her new owners make her … but she needs love, time and patience for her to settle in a caring setting.

Winnie had 2 weeks in a home and settled immediately into a loving dog relating to young children and was welcomed as a close member. She however escaped out the front door and rushed at a dog in her plight to run, as many dogs do. The family couldn’t chance that happening again so she came back to us. Winnie is such a lovely dog and she has already come so far. She walks parallel with other dogs, settles and soon builds trust. Winnie needs to be an only dog as her dog skills are very elementary. She requires gentle introductions with reassurance coming through her lead. Innocence is the word that sums Winnie up.

So many people are coming forwards to offer Staffies their heart. Staffies are having a particularly challenging time, as being sensitive souls it isn’t easy for them. Winnie is such a dog who has been dumped and is confused. Her instincts are to trust, to love and to learn from confident hands. She is young and she will settle. She will bring her energies into focus and achieve skills. She is ready to be given that opportunity. She tries to settle in kennels, but kennels can’t offer that next step. We will support Winnie, she will win through! She is a winner she is Winnie.

Martin – 2 year old male Patterdale Terrier

Martin is a 2 year old male Patterdale Terrier. Martin is a slender whippet type Patterdale. Smooth coated and ‘lythe’. He adores to be out and does the little terrier nips if a dog gets “too close too soon”, but falls into walking alongside other dogs well. He isn’t reactive to dogs. He is a tender soul and enjoys company. He tolerates other dogs either side of his kennel. His confidence will reflect his “lead” manager. Martin is still in assessment.

Martin is quite a character and everyone is endeared to him. He has the aloofness which comes with many terriers. We can’t wait to see him settled within a family and having a good life. He needs awareness when out on walks so he is retained on an extender and so is safe. He will settle well with dogs as long as he feels in control and know ‘You are’. So we are looking for a home who can love him and watch him take up his new life with admiration of his change of occupation into treasured pet.

Sasha – 1 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross

Sasha is a lovely 1 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross who is a champagne colour! She is just picking up her skills and excellent approach to people, dogs, cats and horses.

Her mum was a small white Staffie; she is a medium sized Staffie cross with a creamy beige smooth coat in robust health. She was raised in a flat and wasn’t socialised … a baby came along 4 months later … and all together now … they didn’t have time for her. She was kept crated and her current owners took her in at the New Year and she hasn’t stopped laughing since. She is having a ball with their Shih Tzu and Terrier Cross. She has learnt to play with toys and is an “off lead” social dog who never snaps back, but does play hard. She mixes with ex-race horses twice a day at the stables and with the yard cats. She once ran in the house cause a bird broke into song! What a wuss!

Sasha is a great dog and being a Staffie cross washes off her back and any prejudice or fear in people’s minds fades into laughter on meeting. Yes she is boisterous, she has had a lot of catching up to do. Tennis balls last 10 minutes, rope toys … fun for days. She could knock young children over, but ‘aware children’ she would gauge her affection to with a little learning. Her face washing service would take time to train out of her.
Sasha is the size of a small Boxer bitch; she has expressive ears and kind, kind eyes. She needs a garden and 2 walks a day and oh how she would love doggie company.

Saffy – 6 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Saffy is a 6 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier who is very special we have to admit. She wins your heart totally. She knows all the tricks in the book; the coy look in her eyes, siding up to you. She is 18″ to the shoulder, has a beautiful head and face with a velvety rich coloured brindle fur so soft to touch. She loves company, but can be left .. but be prepared for her doing the bends on your return. She doesn’t like the rain or snow and needs persuasion to use the garden on such days, but has very good housetraining and holds despite. Saffy will use either an open dog bed or crate; a sofa or chair to relax in. She understands house rules. We are looking for a situation where she is spoilt and inclusive in her family. Saffy can react when closed in a crate so this is not advisable for her except for travelling. She also is very excited with cats! Saffy is neutered, vaccinated and chipped.

Saffy is making a “slow but sure” recovery with her skin and fur and she has put on weight, but will drop it quickly in kennels so ideally her family would only use kennels in an emergency. She loves people and will accept dogs in her territory once introduced outside on neutral territory until she knows them. Saffy can react to ‘claiming food’, but not toys or other objects. So food needs awareness with other dogs and close management so Saffy doesn’t chose to manage the situation! She can play with humans sometimes as though they are dogs touching with her mouth, but clearly playing expressing fun and love. Only ever happens to people she loves. Saffy is a rescue favourite so only special families need apply!

Saffy is a slender frame brindle Staffie who has had many litters in her past. She mixes well with dogs outside, tends to put her paws on their back as a greeting inside her house. Very loving nature. She is nasally … a snorty Staffie but not barky! Only pet with close relationship with her owners like in the bedroom at night. Query past abuse by 10-17 year olds as very wary of them.

Jenna – 2-3 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross

Jenna is a Tigress – about 2-3 years old and is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross. She has a soft fawn brindle coat which is improving since being in our care. Jenna has a good sense of her size and how to calibrate her possible impact when expressing her joy and gratitude for love offered, or response to enjoyable events.

She is happy to sleep where placed and adjusts within a domestic setting well. She is housetrained and respectful of possessions. However can be a an opportunist with food currently as Jenna has known real hunger. We would recommend 3 or 4 small meals a day until she settles and develops food trust. Takes food very gently and is respectful of food, no aggression shown.

Jenna has a gentle nature within a fun, sincere personality. Recently had pups and had made multiple litters in the past. Now spayed, chipped and vaccinated. Good with people and dogs. Meets dogs nicely on the lead. Needs a good sized garden which is secure more to avoid dog thief than concerns of her escaping.

Jenna will be loved to bits by a large dog family. Her heart is caring and her whole demeanour is sincere. Jenna has probably lived with at least one other dog. She seems to enjoy dogs company, but not too pushy if another dog isn’t terribly interested … that leaves her freer to meld with the people in her life! Jenna in now in good health and ready for “the good life” she anticipated as a puppy and dreamed of as a young adult.
