Willy – 2 year old male Terrier Cross
Willy is a 2 year old cross-breed boy. He is a breed broken coated black and tan Terrier, he looks Yorkshire breed but is of mixed background. He has lived with lots of dogs and cats and had visiting grandchildren from 2 years upwards. He is a little uncertain for the first minute and then loves the attention. He has not had much ‘going out’ experience as he lived in a largish pack. He has been well loved and is gentle, happy go lucky and a ball of fun.
He will fit into a family with the initial time to settle him and give him time, he has had to previously share, with so many others. He is with Animal Action Trust , 01277 634406.

Lole is 1 year old Cairn Terrier cross Yorkshire Terrier. She is a gentle temperament and loves children (well behaved albeit). She has had the advantage of grandchildren visiting from the age of 3 years and above. She is light golden in colour and very small in size for her age. She is good with dogs and cats also. She will need some settling in and getting used to going out and about with her new family, as she has not gone out too regularly as she has had so many doggy friends to play with up until now.
Roxis – 1 year old male Cross-Breed
Roxis is a male cross breed with Labrador and Doberman in him, he is just one year old. He is now neutered and ready to home. Roxis was bought, by a lad on the spur of the emotional moment, unfortunately for Roxi his ‘previous’ knew no dog training moves and Roxis did not learn much either. But, Roxis is bright and in 10 minutes learnt ‘leave it’, during tug game and ‘down’, without any food offered. Also began walking well in a matter of minutes too. In the right hands, a brilliant large dog.
He plays a convincing game of tug, likes to carry his own lead and will fetch and drop a stick or ball. He does a very posh ‘paw’ which he maintains for a very long time. He gives you a lot of attention when training. Really WANTS to learn. He is a big dog with a big heart, and will make a real good dog as a reward for some consistent training. If you are into big dogs, this dog is a real dream.
Dog training school must be considered to aid socialisation for this big chap. Wants to play with all dogs. Children in the house should be 10+ and Roxis knows no cats.

12Nov2011 | Animal Action Essex | READ MOREArthur – 1 year old male Border Terrier
Arthur is a male Border Terrier of one year old, just neutered two weeks ago and looking for a fresh start. Arthur knew no commands but we found that he is a very driven little fellow with a ball and so can very easily be taught. He will fetch and search for his ball until the cows come home and well after that too. We fling the ball into long grass or the woods and Arthur charges off and stays till he finds it.
Arthur settles in the house like a dream dog after his walk, he is not greedy but just loves a bit of attention and preferable the corner of a sofa or soft doggy bed. He is of course clean and does not chew. He has the attitude of an important character about town. Excellent companion dog for the right home. He loves children and waits for the time when they will come home. He is good with dogs although he did not get along with the male he was with (aged 11). he is now with several dogs and he is as good a gold.
To meet Arthur, (we’ll leave out ‘King’ for now so as not to be presumptuous) call Animal Action 01277 634406
3Nov2011 | Animal Action Essex | READ MOREMilo – 6 month old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Milo 6 months old smallish Staffordshire Bull Terrier male of an orange brindle colour. Milo loves his foster mum and follows her all over the house. He has settled down well and enjoys his walks and cuddles and play, especially a tug toy. Down on the field, off the lead he stays very close, and comes back immediately he is called. He is typical Staffie in attitude, loves people, good with kiddies. Would suggest 10+ years as he is still a lively young pup.
Milo had been good with the dogs he has met, he is not yet cat tested. Milo will play by himself and entertain himself with a toy for ages and ages, lovely to watch his entertaining little ways. His foster mum thinks he is very handsome and loving and funny.
Remember the Staffie is the only dog they call ‘the nanny dog’, a good family dog.
If you would like to meet Milo at home and let him entertain and charm you, make an appointment with Animal Action Essex 01277 634406
Jasmine – 2 year old female Akita
Jasmine is a sweet mellow, well mannered and obedient dog. What more need be said? Akita girl 2 years, (not too large about the size of a Lab) used once for breeding, but had mastitis. She is good with dogs, not lived with children but fine with visiting children. We would therefore suggest 10years + only. She is a little reserved on first meeting (like most Akitas) but treats soon melt the heart and she is yours. She walks well on the lead after the initial nosiness has past. She likes to look over the fences and garden walls. She is fine off leash and has a little charge around then just potters about minding her own business.
Jasmine is in Brentwood Essex in foster, with a Staffie boy of nine months and they get along just fine. Not sure about cats, she sometimes wants to chase and sometimes can’t be bothered. She will soon come into season and so spaying will be part of the contract.

Shane – 10 year old male Border Collie
Shane is a 10 year old Border Collie. He is in good health except for slight arthritis in the front right leg. He is walked on leash most of the time therefore. Shane gets about 30 mins a day and potters around the house and garden. He is handsome with a friendly eye and rather fetching black spots over the white of his coat.
He is good with well mannered dogs and cats. He prefers someone home a lot, he loves a bit of fuss and grins when his fur is ruffled. He needs a home without young children probably a retired person or couple so he can have a quiet life. He is obedient and chummy. Will need his weight watching.

27Oct2011 | Animal Action Essex | READ MOREBarney – 2 year old male St Bernard
Barney is a 2 year old male neutered St Bernard who is in the sad position of looking for a new home. Barney belonged to a lady and so Barney became a little too protective of her. (Pushing into a male visitor and nipping the bottom). He needs a firm hand as he is a large dog. We are looking for a home with large dog experience and willing to go to dog school. Barney will be worth all the work. He is a beautiful and devoted dog.
He is fine with the daughter of the family and her visiting friends. He is a little edgy with men because of living with women only. For this reason the dog school will be a necessary part of the homing contract. He adores water and paddling, so a large towel will be on the cards as well as a reasonably large garden and house. Barney also loves other dogs and lived with another largish male dog.
If Barney feels like the right dog for your family we would be happy to talk to you. Updates on Barney to follow as we learn more.

Tia – 7 month old female Labrador
This is Tia a sweet Labrador girls of 7 months. She loves everybody and everything. She needs a home where she will get off lead walks of one and a half hours a day and to attend a class to continue her learning. She has excellent recall and beginning to enjoy the ‘fetch’ game and if this is encouraged she will be very easy to train. She enjoys a good bone to chew in the evenings. She is a live wire and needs direction and to settle into a routine. She is in foster with several other dogs and is a happy pack member, so will live with a well mannered and trained dog. She has lived with cats and was Ok with them, she just wanted to play. A dog savvy cat therefore will find Tia a kindly but lively friend.

Ash – 7 month old male Rhodesian Ridgeback cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier
This is Ash he is 7 months male Ridgeback cross Staffie of a kindly temperament. He would live with a larger dog than himself preferably a neutered female. He will most likely reach the size of a small Labrador when fully grown. He has know cats in a foster home some months ago, and would probably settle to a dog savvy cat. He will, as part of the contract, have to attend dog school. He is very calm indoors and outdoors. He is not all that confident on first meeting a strange dog but after a minute or two wants to play. He can be left indoors for short periods and does not chew or soil at all. Dog school will be so good for him. A home with some knowledge of either one of this dog’s breed mixture would be ideal. Interested?
