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

9May2008 | Rochdale Dog Rescue | READ MORETye - 3 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Tye is a 3 year old male black, brindle and white long-legged Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He was found in a shed with a severe leg injury where it was half hanging off, and incredibly emaciated, a vet was called out to assist and he was taken to the vets, while there the leg fell off before they could amputate it, he must have been in agony and suffering immensly.
Our branch was contacted to assist in the matter. A Staffordshire Bull Terrier was reported missing 2 weeks prior and the description fit Tye so the owner was contacted who took a few days to come in and confirmed Tye was his, however he didn’t want Tye back. Then changed his mind a few days later and took Tye home, another few days later he rang the vets and signed him over into RSPCA care.
Tye will be vaccinated, wormed/flead, micro-chipped, he is still about 3kg underweight, once he gets to a good weight he will be castrated. He is not on any medication now and has had his stitches removed.
Tye has had a traumatic time so at the moment he is a little depressed, but with love, tlc and time he will undoubtedly come out of his shell. He has already been in at least 2 homes after being a rescued dog, one was for a year with 4 children and a cat and his most recent was since Jan 08.
Tye has a very friendly nature and loves people, which is just typical of the breed we believe Tye is generally good with other dogs (he’s already been happily walking alongside and enjoying a good sniff with a greyhound bitch in our care!) and children, but we will assess him while he is in foster to be sure.
He also travels very well. He’s used to living in a flat and not really been off lead, he’s used to many walks though and is used to someone being around. He absolutely loves food and any treat going! He particularly loves to chew plastic bottles!
He is completely mobile on 3 legs and is not at all prohibited in what he can do, he has adapted very well so please do not let this put you off, please give him a chance.
We are looking for an experienced home considering what he’s been through, a toddler free home as we believe he’s normally quite lively and bouncy. We really want a lovely home with a nice garden where someone is around a lot, at most works part time, lots of walks and socialising once he’s settled and above all love and a secure and stable future.

Monty is a lovely brindle Greyhound male aged 5 years old. He is registered to race and has done so ~ he has had 50 races on a registered track. However there is no history since his last race eighteen months ago. Sadly he ended up in a North of England dog pound in very poor condition ~ not much of a “thank you” for his efforts we are sure you will agree.
He has taken some months to build up, and bring back to full fitness in readiness for re-homing. He is very friendly but is a little strong on the lead.

Finist is a white and black Greyhound dog who is 5 years old. He is a tattooed boy who came to us from a dog pound in South Wales in July 2007. We re-homed him but sadly he was returned to us, something which is always very sad for us. Finist is confident dog who bounces on the lead and whirls around quite a bit ~ if he is allowed to of course!
This can be quite off putting to inexperienced people, but is quite easily cured. He has recently been with an experience foster carer who found him a delightful dog who was full of fun and life. Sadly he did not see eye to eye with one of the dogs in the pack so he had to come back to kennels. Finist is not cat friendly.

Jester is a black Greyhound male who is 4 years old. He has run nearly 60 races on registered tracks, and his last race was over a year ago. Since then there is no history on him, until he ended up in a dog pound in the North of England recently. We are asuming he has been racing on a flapping tack in the meantime, but we will never know. Jester is a big dog with a big personality!
He walks well on the lead but is so friendly he sometimes jumps up and puts his paws on your shoulders. This could be off putting especially to young children. It’s fair to say Jester loves people, whether is cuddling with them or leaning on them, he is most definately a people dog. He has an old shoulder injury which doesn’t seem to bother him at all, but may be aggravated by off lead exercise.

Whiskey is a super Greyhound male who is around 3 years old and who really deserves a break. He has been with us a long time and we are very fond of him. Whiskey came to us from a dog pound so we know nothing of his history. We re-homed him with a family but he was returned to us following some incidents where he challenged both adults.
Whiskey knows his own mind and can be very single-minded when he chooses to be! However, Whiskey has lots of very positive points and in the right home will make a loving and loyal pet.
Whiskey needs someone who is a strong leader yet who is not going to meet his challenges with more challenges, as this will mean that Whiskey will rack things up a notch! A calm confident person who will show Whiskey that they are in charge will mean that he can relax and start enjoying life!
Whiskey is a very bright dog who loves a game of ball and lots of interaction with people. He can sit and his recall is good too, as is his house-training. Whiskey loves people and responds well to those whom he respects. He can at times be quite full-on with other dogs but has lived very happily with a Greyhound bitch in the past, and will happily play with dogs whom he knows and has been introduced to. He cannot live with cats.
