Zookie – 5 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Please meet Zookie, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, female, approximately 5 years old. She is brown and white and she is small to medium in size. Zookie is well mannered, playful, affectionate and a pleasure to walk – a real sweetheart. She will ignore dogs when out of the kennel but will get upset in the kennel if challenged by any of the other dogs – for this reason we feel she would be better as an only dog or with a calm sensible male.

Poor Zookie has damaged her tail after becoming stressed in the kennels and this has resulted in two operations where part of it has been amputated. She is having to wear her buster collar alot of the time poor girl.

Phoebe – 10 year old female Bearded Collie Cross

Please meet Phoebe, a Bearded Collie cross, female, approximately 10 years old. She is grey and white with a long coat and she is medium in size. Phoebe had been abandoned as an unwanted stray and not suprisingly she was not claimed. Poor Phoebe had a huge tumour which reached the floor, had long claws and bad teeth in need of attention – as well was in need of a good wash and clip.

As soon as she was able to come into our care she went to the vets where luckily they were able to diagnose her tumour as a huge fatty lump and remove it and give her a dental. She went into a foster home to recover; where she is going from strength to strength and feeling much better after a nice wash and haircut!

She is a lovely natured girl who is good with other dogs and may be able to live with a cat – she will chase for fun if they run away from her. Phoebe is house trained, and already knows her basic commands such as sit, stay and paw. She has settled well in the house and she walks well on the lead – she is a little diamond!

Phoebe is quite unfit at the moment so is currently building up her excercise levels. She has been first vaccinated and microchipped.

Gucchi – 1-2 year old male American Bulldog

Please meet Gucchi, an American Bulldog, male, approximately 1-2 years old. He is white in colour and he is medium to large in size. He was very thin when he came to us and had sores on his legs. He was found abandoned in a property in December 2010 and taken to a pound in the Midlands in early January 2011. He has funny shaped back legs which we think may be due muscle wastage through being confined in the past. The has been given the all clear by the vets and can have a normal level of excercise.

To see a bit more of what a happy dog he is have a look at his video!

Gucchi is the most adorable boy! He is happy and waggy – he loves his food and is good with other dogs. He’s an all round happy boy who just loves everybody and everything he meets!

Gucchi is like a young puppy and loves to play and have tickles and hasn’t got a bad bone in him – but due to his size he would be too clumsy to be in a home with younger children. He does ignore the cat at the kennels so may be able to live with a cat if introduced properly.

He can be worried in new situations and get a little frightened so we ideally would like his forever home to be reasonably local to us so that his new family can come and visit him a few times before he goes home.
