Wilber – 2 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Boxer
Wilber is a lovely brindle male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Boxer that is looking for a new home. He is currently in Swindon, Wiltshire but we will rehome to anywhere in the country as long as homechecks etc can be carried out. This dog was with Swindon Council but has now been moved to Bath Cats and Dogs home. He is still looking for a home.
Wilber is a stray so we do not have any history about him. For this reason we will not rehome to places with young children or any other pets. He does appear to be good with other dogs on a walk and like most staffie types loves people – he just wants to sit on your lap. He is medium sized and possibly cross with a Boxer as he has a big head which tapers down to a slim behind!
If you would like more information or be considered as a potential adopter please contact us on the details below. All Swindon Borough Council dogs are microchipped and have their first vaccination. If they are not neutered you will be required to have this done as part of the adoption contract.
8Jan2010 | Bath Cats and Dogs Home | READ MORETerry – 2 year old male Lurcher
Meet Terry, he is a 2 year old old castrated male Lurcher who has been with us since September 2009, when he arrived as a stray. Terry is a stunning dog, but is seeking an active home to keep him occupied and stimulated! He is a friendly, affectionate nice natured lad that enjoys cuddles. He is quite obedient and knows some basic commands but would benefit from basic further training. He is calm and quiet when left for short periods although possibly might become destructive if bored.
He loves his walks and exercise, and walks quite well on a harness when away from distractions otherwise can be a little scatty so will require further lead training as he is also not good with other dogs whilst on the lead. He is playful lad but a typical Lurcher! Terry is good with playful dogs as he can be a bit over the top and quite boisterous, has not lived with cats and may be inclined to chase them and would be best homed in a family household where any children are aged 10 and older in an active household. Terry will make a great family pet but just needs someone with time and patience to teach him some manners!
Can you offer this boy a loving new home?

29Oct2009 | Bath Cats and Dogs Home | READ MOREBarnie and Benny – 10 and 6 year old male Terrier Crosses
Meet Barnie and Benny they are Terrier cross boys that have been with us since early September 2009, as their elderly owner was unable to look after them.
(Barnie)
Barnie is a 10 year old white and tan neutered male chap whereas; Benny is a 6 year old black and tan neutered male lad. They are happy, sweet natured lads that are inseparable and therefore must be rehomed together as Benny hates being parted from Barnie and they can often be seen curled up together. Barnie and Benny are very loving dogs, affectionate and eager to please, loving human attention. They are seeking someone that is at home most of the day as they love human company, but are fine to be left for short periods and are not destructive. They know some of their basic commands and Barney especially is playful whereas Benny just wants to join in!
(Benny)
Barnie is a very vocal chap when excited especially at the start of his walks and can be timid with strangers but is active and energetic. Benny is going to need plenty of exercise in his new home as he is obese and has been nicknamed ‘Dumpling’ and is on a special low fat diet to help him regain his figure.
Barnie and Benny are good with other dogs but best to be homed as the only pair have never mixed with cats and would be good in a family household where any children are aged 12 and older.
Can you give this inseparable pair an active life?

Meet Curly he is a 1 1/2 year old castrated male Jack Russell Terrier that has been with us since June 2009. He was re-homed for 3 months but was returned to us as his owner could no longer afford to keep him – so Curly is back with us through no fault of his own!
Curly is a very active boy with plenty of character – in other words a typical full of fun and mischievous Terrier! He is a cute lad that likes his cuddles and fuss, though can get over excited. He has bags of energy, and loves his walks, but will need further lead training as he tends to pull on the lead and barks and lunges at traffic and other dogs. He calm and quiet and therefore would be fine to be left for short periods and is not destructive. Curly would do well in an active household, to keep him occupied!
He would benefit from full training to channel his energy which he has in bucketloads! Curly is not good with other dogs or cats so would be best as the only pet in the house and where any children in the family are aged 10 and older.
Please quote ref. 16049 when enquiring about Curly.
29Oct2009 | Bath Cats and Dogs Home | READ MOREBarney – 3-4 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross
Barney is a cute and cuddly 3-4 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross who cannot wait to find a new home and hopes it fun-filled with walks a plenty. He was found a stray and therefore cannot be homed with children under 12 or other dogs and cats. He loves the company of humans and like all Staffies, he’s affectionate and full of fun. He is very popular with the staff at the rescue and loves coming for cuddles.
Carla – 1-1/2 year old female American Bulldog
Carla is a lovely 1-1/2 year old female American Bulldog who is looking for a home after being found a stray. She is fun, friendly and active and would love to find a new family who could take her long walks and show her the real world.
She cannot live with cats or other dogs and we cannot rehome her with children under 12. Can you show her how it feels to be part of a family? I’m sure she’ll return you back with love and loyality.
Sasha – 6-8 month old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Whippet
Sasha is a gorgeous 6-8 month old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Whippet who really needs to find a new home. She is very delicate and petite and has a wonderful coat.
She is friendly and fun loving with the staff at the rescue but because she is a stray we do not know what she is like with dogs or cats. For this same reason, we cannot rehome her with children under 12. She is desperate for some love as she is struggling in kennels. Have you got a home perfect for pretty Polly?
12Oct2009 | Bath Cats and Dogs Home | READ MOREJames
Meet James, he is a 2 year old castrated male Rottweiler cross that has been with us since early December 2006, as his owners couldn’t cope. Friendly James is wary of new people but once he knows you is a really lovely nice natured lad.
Playful with people and other dogs he is excitable almost boisterous at times adoring running around playing chase with tennis balls. Enjoying his walks, James is a very strong dog that is getting used to walking better on a halti. He has been here quite sometime and finds kennel life very stressful, not showing himself off to his full advantage, but we feel he will be a completely different dog once out in a home environment.
He hates being left so is seeking someone that is at home for the majority of the day. He has a super character but is over looked time and time again. Good with most other dogs, he is seeking a sensible owner and would make a loving companion to a family where any children are aged 12+. Are you an active family that can give our energetic lad a new home?
24Nov2007 | Bath Cats and Dogs Home | READ MOREMarty
Meet Marty, he is a 3 year old castrated male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross that has been with us since November 2006, when he arrived as a stray. Friendly Marty is a lovely natured lad that adores human attention and company.
He doesn’t like being left and will cry initially but soon settles and is quite quiet but would prefer someone that is at home most of the day or where he can accompany his owners on doggy outings. Playful, Marty loves his toys and also likes to play hide and seek and has great recall dropping his ball at your feet on command!
Marty doesn’t know many commands so would beneath from further training and socialisation. He enjoys his walks but is strong on the lead so is best to walked on a harness and walks nicely to heel if told to! He will require a secure house and garden, as he will try to get to you if he sees you coming from a distance.
Marty is okay with other dogs but tends to bark non-stop here in kennels as he gets irritated by the other dogs nearby. He is a seeking a new home where any children are aged 10+ and sensible but we have no history on him with regards to felines. Can you offer our nice natured playful lad a new loving home after being a stray?
24Nov2007 | Bath Cats and Dogs Home | READ MORERoyston
Meet Royston, he is a 5 year old castrated male Parson Jack Russell Terrier cross that has been with us since November 2006, as he didn’t get on with the other dog in the house. Royston can be an affectionate dog and will always give a big welcome to people he knows well.
He is an independent dog who likes to do his own thing a lot of the time -a typical Terrier into anything and everything. He particularly loves his walks and walks perfectly on a harness, but will pull you in the direction of any canine he spots on the horizon. He has shown signs of protectiveness in the past so care must be taken when out in public and with visitors in the home.
An experienced owner who is familiar with the Terrier breed would suit Royston down to the ground as he is a confident dog once he knows you but can be on the stubborn side so will need a firm hand. Royston is a cuddly dog once he knows you jumping up for a kisses and a hug but will snap if pushed and can show his nervous side cowering at sudden movements or fireworks.
Due to his protectiveness a bond must be created and any potential owner must be willing to come up and get to know him well before adopting. Royston doesn’t appear to know any basic commands and can be stubborn only performing these when it suits him so he would benefit from further training. He is seeking a new home without other dogs as he is dog aggressive although he is good with cats and would be fine where any children are aged 16+.
Are you an experienced owner that can offer our typical Terrier a new loving home?
