Hamish - 3 year old male Cross-Breed
Hello my name is Hamish, I’m a 3 year old, medium sized male cross-breed, who arrived at The Mayhew as a stray. I’m very confident and friendly with everyone I meet and I’m very responsive to training. I can be vocal so would need someone who is at home all day. I’m a playful boy, I enjoy playing with my toys and I also love cuddles and giving and receiving affection.
I’m not keen on other dogs, although I am improving, but I will need to be walked on a long line and wear a muzzle on my one hour daily off lead walks in the park. My new guardians will be expected to take me to training classes and to work on my socialisation around other dogs.
They will be experienced with dogs and any children in my new household will be ten years and upwards. I’m an extremely affectionate dog and I’ve been told I will make a fantastic companion. My new guardians will be taking on a twelve year commitment which must not be taken lightly.
A very polite dog who has the manners of a gentleman, sensible and well-behaved he will make a loyal and loving companion. Hope to see you soon, Hamish x

Hello my name is Bremner, I’m an 8 years young male Staffordshire Bull Terrier, who came to The Mayhew as a stray. I’m both calm and laid back and I adore people. I hate to be ignored and I will bark to get your attention if I feel I’m being left out. I’m well-behaved indoors and out, walk well on my lead and I’m responsive to commands. I’m told I’m an intelligent, intuitive gentleman, who seems to get along fine with other dogs.
I’m a gentle and affectionate dog, ideally I’m looking for a new home without young children as I’m now ready now for a quieter home. I would suit someone who is experienced with dogs or has owned a Staffordshire Bull Terriers before. My favourite game is playing fetch and I will need at least one hour of off-lead exercise every day.
I like my comfort and love nothing more than cuddling up on the sofa together, do you have a sofa big enough for me to share? My new guardians will be taking on a seven year commitment which must not be taken lightly. Hope to see you soon, Bremner x

Hello my name is Vito, I’m an eighteen-month-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier who arrived at The Mayhew as a stray. I will happily greet strangers and I’m very loving and affectionate. I know basic commands and I’m well-behaved. My carers say I seem to be okay with other dogs. They don’t know what I’m like to be left alone or if I’m toilet trained because I arrived at The Mayhew without a previous history.
I’m a playful dog and I love my toys - especially ones I can tug on. My favourite treats are pigs ears. I’m active and bright and will need a minimum of one hour of off-lead exercise every day. My new guardians will have owned bull breeds before and will be willing to take me to training classes. I would happily live with sensible older children. My new guardians will be taking on a fourteen year commitment which must not be taken lightly.
Hope to see you soon, Vito x
25Apr2008 | Mayhew Animal Home | READ MOREGinni - 2 year old male Cross-Breed
Ginni is a 2 year old female, medium sized cross-breed who arrived at The Mayhew having been rescued from Romania. She is an independent dog but is very intelligent and knows commands such as “sit”, “wait”, “come here”, “leave it” being particularly responsive when tempted with food!
Ginni enjoys trips out in the car and her daily off lead walks in the park. She will happily meet and greet other dogs but can be a bit on the bossy side. She is well behaved in the house, loves watching what’s going on in the kitchen, keeps you company but also enjoys being left in peace whilst sleeping on her bed. She is toilet-trained and can be left alone for upto four hours without any problems.
Ginni does have bit of a stubborn streak, she likes to get her own way and can growl and snap if not handled correctly. This is partially due to a medical condition she suffers from - arthritis of her spine. She can be brought to the Mayhew for free treatment for any problems relating to this existing condition.
She needs a kind and confident experienced dog-owner to work on her behaviour in a consistent way, she has a tendency to become a one person dog so ideally would suit a single owner or understanding couple, with no children visiting.
Soppy Ginni is looking for an experienced guardian, who will have the time and patience to help this beautiful girl settle in and feel secure. Her new guardians will be taking on a thirteen year commitment, which must not be taken lightly.
29Mar2008 | Mayhew Animal Home | READ MORETilly and Henry - 13 year old male and female Toy Poodles
Tilly and Henry are a lovable 13 year old twosome Toy Poodles, who came to the Mayhew after one of their owners sadly died, leaving the other unable to cope on her own. They are two well-behaved, toilet-trained and easy-to-care-for dogs who get along well with other dogs and can be left alone for up to four or five hours without any problems.
They are good with children and could be homed with children 16 years or older. Both enjoy pottering around in the park off lead for an hour each day. They are very affectionate and love sitting on your lap and enjoying all the comforts of home. Most of all, they adore each other and could not possibly be separated. Their curly coats will need regular clipping.
Tilly and Henry both have medical problems and are, therefore, looking for a permanent foster home. This means that though an adoption fee will need to be paid, they can always be brought to the Mayhew for free treatment for any problems relating to their existing conditions.
Both of them have cataracts in both eyes and have suffered early liver failure which requires a prescription diet and regular blood tests. Tilly had mammary tumours when she came to the home and, though she has the all-clear at the moment, there is a possibility of this condition spreading to her lungs. Henry has a polyp on his anal gland that could flare up from time to time.
Tilly and Henry are looking for a home where they can be together and enjoy life’s comforts while spreading their love around.

She has already become a firm favourite at the Home.
Sarah is fully toilet-trained, walks well on her lead, travels well in the car, and can be left alone for a few hours per day without any problems. She loves her soft toys, which she will bring to you when she greets you. We would be happy to home her with sensible teenagers.
Sarah loves people but has a great disliking for other dogs. This is only a problem when she is approached by other dogs, as she never bothers other dogs herself.

She will need at least one hour of off-lead exercise daily.
Sarah is a sweetheart, looking for a loving home, where she will return the love she receives in spades. Her new guardians will be taking on a twelve year commitment, which must not be taken lightly.
