Beagle Cross
Manson – 3 year old male Bassett Hound cross Beagle
Manson is a 3 year old Bassett Hound cross Beagle who is looking for a new home. Manson came into us via the RSPCA. He had been living in a home since he was born along with three other dogs. Manson was not really exercised properly in his previous home and now when he goes out he is a bit nervous of new situations. This will be worked on whilst he is in rescue. His recall is excellent whilst out on walks.
Unfortunately Manson does have a heart problem and has to have one pill a day for this (Vetmedin) and this would cost about £15 for two months supply.
He did go into a foster home but due to him barking at the resident cats and toileting in the house he was bought into rescue as an emergency placement. Here he has been fine with the cats, but the cats here do not run from dogs and he saw them as no fun and ignored them. He also has no reaction to small animals in cages.
Originally it was planned that he would be moved into the local centre, but they were going to put him to sleep because of his heart problem and being too hard to rehome, so I refused to hand him over to them. On the whole Manson is good with other dogs, but he needs to be introduced slowly, as he is worried about new situations as is common with dogs that are under socialised. He is a very sweet and loving boy once he has started to settle.
We need to work on his house training. He has probably never been taught anything, so we are treating him like an 8 week old puppy in that respect. Manson has lived with young children and is fine with them.
He can be left for short periods of time, but has the typical Bassett bay when barking so time would need to be spent building his confidence at being left. Manson has been neutered and will be vaccinated and microchipped, plus wormed and defleaed before he leaves us. There will be a homecheck and minimum donation fee applies.
Mac – 18 month old male Beagle cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier
This is Mac, he is a young handsome Beagle cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier boy aged approximately 18 months old. He was rescued from “Death Row” in August 2009, he was rehomed briefly but it did not work out due to the family dynamics. Mac is a lovely lad all he needs is an understanding owner who is prepared to put some training into the relationship. He has had a lot of changes in his short life – not all of them good ones.
He has that beautiful Staffie grin but without the teeth, he is a strong dog and is very playful. Ideally he will be rehomed with a family where there are older children who can play and exercise him but not get knocked over in his exuberance. He is currently located in Cheshire.

Bacon is a 1 1/2-2 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Beagle. He’s literally just arrived from death row hours before so we are still assessing his temperament and character. On first impressions he’s quite playful, confident and sociable.
He rolled over for a quick tummy tickle but clearly wasn’t too sure about being so submissive to strangers and quickly jumped back up again! He seems a lovely little character and as he’s totally gorgeous we hope he’ll find his new forver home soon.
This dog is kennelled with Jeanette, Sheffield, South Yorkshire on 01709 863696 or 077860292104.

Meet Geezer! He’s fully housetrained and has lived with a 13 year old child and other dogs, but never with cats. He behaves well on the lead and follows basic commands i.e. sit, he’ll also give you his paw if when its treat time! If he is off the lead and he gets a scent he is gone (although his previous owner has said that he always finds his way home…again must be a scent thing).
He is fine when he meets other dogs he’s out walking. He gets excited when he meets visitors and jumps up, but that’s just his way of saying ‘hello’. Geezer’s owners have just moved into a flat hence he is now available for re-homing, and because of his breed he will need regular exercise.
Geezer had his vet check and was really well behaved, he’s a lovely dog and although he is quite an independent dog he does like his cuddles too!
