Rossi – 3 year old male Chinese Crested Powderpuff Dog

Rossi is a Pedigree Chinese Crested Powder Puff dog. This is a rare toy breed. He is a small dog, only standing 14 inches at the shoulder and weighing about 7kgs. He will need regular visits to the groomer which is an essential expense that owners should consider. This is an extremely affectionate dog who needs a very loving home with another small calm gentle dog and someone around most of the time. This is because he suffers extreme separation anxiety and cannot be left alone or he howls non-stop until someone returns which annoys neighbours and distresses him. He is only 3 years old but has been passed through a number of homes and desperately needs some stability in a forever home. Therefore we will be seeking proof of financial stability and stability of circumstances. Rossi is cat friendly, he totally ignores cats.

Rossi is very good with children, please note we do not rehome to children under 5 years. He needs quiet calm children as he is so small he could be easily hurt by boisterous, rough handling. Rossi doesn’t pull on the lead and is brilliant off lead he simply follows you around like a little shadow as he doesn’t want to be parted from you. He is well behaved in the house and house trained and travels well in the car.

Rossi is sometimes anxious and overwhelmed by boisterous dogs so will growl to ask them to respect him but he doesn’t fight he will walk away from conflict. This is a super family pet and companion dog and we will be careful to find a home that meets his needs.

Jimmy – 2 year old male Deerhound Cross

Jimmy is a young adult Deerhound cross about 2 years old with the most superb temperament. He is slightly anxious around boisterous dogs and will growl but is relaxed and happy with steady dogs including little dogs like Jack Russell and Yorkshire Terriers. Jimmy has damage to the ligaments in his leg and is not yet ready to be rehomed until early December but we are asking you to register an interest in whether you would like to consider him at that time. Update from vet – Jimmy is healing extremely well, he has his bandage removed and is now using the leg for short walks 3 times a day.

Ongoing physiotherapy exercises are helping maintain flexibility and preventing too much muscle wastage. The vet is extremely pleased with his progress, but points out he will have to be kept on lead for six months.

Jimmy has been used as a working dog to hunt so is very keen when he sees a cat or hears owls screech when walking in the dark, so care must be taken with small furry animals as may hurt them. Experience of this type of dog would be valuable. Rehome within 100 miles of West Yorkshire.

Lacy – 9 month old female Jack Russell Terrier

Lacy is a Chestnut coloured 9 months old Jack Russell terrier cross puppy who needs a patient home due to past abuse, with experienced terrier owners. This dog is going to need a lot of off lead running with other kind dogs to improve her social skills as she can be anxious and snappy with new dogs due to not understanding how to interact with them so sometimes gets into scraps. She is being fostered with 6 dogs of all types and sizes so every day is learning more about how to interact in a group of dogs. She is only a baby and her house training is very variable so no workers please, she needs someone around most of the time to keep taking her out until she gets the message. She needs a lot of exercise and training and at the moment she barks when left alone partly because she is so disturbed and not in a secure routine as she has been passed through numerous homes.

Up until she came into our care, Lacey had never met a dog or been on a walk so the whole world is new to her and she has a lot to learn. She really would benefit from living with a calm, kind, big older dog who can give her confidence and show her how to behave in life. Good dog handlers needed with loads of patience. This is a really stunning pup who will make a fabulous pet in the right hands but could easily go wrong if not handled with positive reward based training. Bullying training must never be used with this dog it will ruin her. We recommend professional training. Rehome within 100 miles of West Yorkshire.

Molly Minx – 10 month old female Pharaoh Hound Cross

Molly Minx is an almost perfect dog who loves absolutely everybody. Molly Minx is a fantastic pup, only 10 months old and yet extremely calm and obedient and very loyal and affectionate. She is easy to live with and travels well in the car. This super dog walks nicely, has very good recall. Molly Minx is dog friendly no matter what size or type of dog, and she loves children although would be too boisterous for little ones. She looks very much like a Pharaoh hound, we do not know how she is bred. Neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped.

Keera – 8 month old female Doberman Cross

Keera is an 8 months old cross Doberman (we were told her mother is a Doberman). Keera is a loving companion but is VERY nervous due to incorrect handling in her early months so she needs a lot of work on socialisation with dogs and people and basic training. She must be allowed to approach strangers in her own time and not have attention forced on her. At the moment Keera is doing some puppy mouthing due to teething and will sometimes nip in play if you are playing ball with her and she gets over excited. She loves routine and consistent handling and is a very calm dog, she only does mouthing when she gets over excited. We have found that if she can be allowed to play with other dogs and really run around she does a lot less mouthing. So we come to the conclusion it is based on exuberance and frustration not getting enough exercise, as a result the foster has her running off lead playing with other dogs 3 hours a day.

Keera is cat friendly. She is an exceptionally fast learner and has improved beyond recognition in her foster home. Her foster is training her to respond to hand signals only with no verbal cues and she is very good at this because she is so very attentive.. Keera pulls on the lead for the first part of the walk but once tired will settle nicely. Keera loves human company, she just wants to be with you, lie at your feet and go with you wherever you go. She travels well in the car so could be with you on your holidays in dog friendly accommodation.

Keera needs someone with a lot of time and exceptional patience, she needs to grow up in a calm confident environment where she will not be put under pressure and where she can be allowed to mature and gain confidence with another dog in the household. She will need a very confident and experienced dog handler well versed in reward based training techniques. We will only rehome her where someone is around most of the time so no workers please. We will only rehome her with another mature sensible dog who will play with her and teach her dog socialisation skills.

Keera is child friendly and has been fostered with children. However, as she is a boisterous pup we will not rehome her with children. She is not suitable for first time dog owners and we strongly recommend professional training..

Vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped. She is just coming into season so cannot be neutered for 3 months, the new owners will have to sign a legal contract to get this done.
