Cody – 5 year old male Dacshund cross Fox Terrier

Cody is a Fox Terrier cross Dacshund aged aproximately 5 years old. Sadly Cody has not had a good start to life and now needs a good forever home. He is a very handsome dog and is very loving with people, though he can be a bit nervous of men to start with. He loves cuddling up on your knee and going for walks and short jogs.

Cody does not appear to have been socialised as a puppy and so does not have a good relationship with other dogs. As such he would need a home where the owners are experienced with dogs to help him overcome his fear/dislike of other dogs and would need to be the only pet. He is good with children and has taken nicely to a gentle leader, making him easy to walk. Cody needs a home where he will be the only pet and he will repay his owners 10 fold with love and affection! Can you offer this gorgeous chap the home he so rightly deserves?

Misty – 2 year old female Terrier cross Collie

Misty is a neutered female of around 2 years old. She’s a tri-coloured cross-breed (likely makeup: Border Collie/Terrier/Whippet) who has come into rescue through no fault of her own after being found as a stray at around 5 months old, and then handed back after her owners seperated.

She will be fully vaccinated, is microchipped and free from worms, ticks or fleas. If you are interested in offering Misty a home, you must be prepared to travel to Northamptonshire to meet her.

Below is what Misty’s foster home have to say about her:

‘Misty is very wary of some new people and can take quite a while to be confident with them. She seems to be better in her own home and best with men who let her approach and say hello at her own pace.

She is currently in a foster home with 2 other dogs and while she gets along fine with the more confident, assertive dog she is bullying the other one. This has decreased alot in the home with careful training but is still definately evident particularly out on walks. However, she clearly gets alot out of having a doggie friend around and in the right hands could go to a home with an existing dog. Misty’s bullying behaviour stems from her own insecurity. She will body block, air snap and neck snap to try and prevent other dogs from getting attention and fuss from their owners.

She will also snap in the face of dogs she doesn’t know so at the moment she can only be let off-lead in secure area’s with dogs she knows well. However, her obedience off lead is good – she has a good recall and sit and will walk alongside you also – but I cannot stress enough that she will not be able to be let off around other dogs until her bullying is properly under control. On lead, she will walk to heel nicely but can be easily distracted, she will also ‘wait’ when you ask her to allow you to get through doors and get her out of the car boot. She travels like a dream but will need a crate or secure dog guard as if she can squirm and get to you – she will!

Indoors, she knows ‘away’ to stay clear while you are eating dinner and ‘leave it’ not to pick up my son’s toys etc … and is very good at learning. Misty is crate trained and house trained but cannot be left alone without building it up very slowly over a period of some weeks. She is living with a ‘dog friendly’ toddler in her foster home and has a number of good qualities with children in that she doesnt snatch food, and generally doesn’t steal toys (or gives them back when asked) but when the excitement builds she ‘forgets herself’ and goes into bullying mode and I think she could snap if it was not carefully managed.

Also, if Misty is ever to run free and be a social girl she needs a lot of love and attention from her owners, in addition to that she needs a stable home with a fairly consistant routine and without too many people visiting initially – it is for these two reasons that I would suggest she isn’t homed with children (even older children as they still take a lot of parents time and also can tend to have different friends round). As a final note, at the moment Misty is not socialised or comfortable enough to be taken to dog training classes of any kind just yet. She has been assessed by my behaviourist who is happy to talk to the new owners about offering them support and advice.’

Ollie – 2 year old male Jack Russell Terrier

Ollie is a very loving 2 year old long-haired Jack Russell Terrier, like his brother he has recently been clipped and looks very handsome! Ollie has not received enough socialisation with other dogs, and will bark/growl and may snap at them, we feel that this is a fearful reaction toward other dogs and training and socialisation classes would help Ollie to stop this behaviour.

Like his brother, Archie (also featured on DogsBlog.com), he has lived outside all his life – he MUST be an indoor dog in his new home. He is a cheeky chap and can be a bit of a handful due to the lack of training he has had so far. We would like Ollie’s new home to approach training with a firm but kind approach. He has lived with very dog savvy cats who stay out of his way, and has also lived with children, although he is quite bouncy so older children may be best.

Hooch – 1-2 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross

Hooch is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross male, he is a very handsome chap and so young at just 1-2 years old! He is good with other dogs and quite playful with them. He has been good with the children he has met so far. He will chase cats and small animals.

Hooch is a typical young dog and needs some work on his commands – we don’t think anyone has spent much time with this special lad, so training classes would be very beneficial! He was also rescued from a pound where he was very close to being put to sleep – just to make room for more dogs. Hooch would love an active family, could that be you?

Molly – 3 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross

Molly is a very beautiful Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross female, she is petite size and quite dainty. She is estimated to be approximately 3 years old. How she found herself in the pound, I don’t know. She is very affectionate, well behaved, mostly good with other dogs.

She has been good with children but will chase cats and small animals. She loves nothing more than to jump on your lap for a proper cuddle! Whoever gives this stunning girl a home will have a life-long, loyal companion and true friend.
