Fell Terrier
Minxie - 4 year old female Patterdale Terrier
Minxie the Minx! Dear dear little Minxie she is a 4 years old Patterdale Terrier and like a toy dog in size, for example, a Manchester Terrier (in fact came from Liverpool!) A sad story - has always been loved but offered so little. Minxie’s owner had to go into a mental hospital. Her mental health nurse phoned to say there were 3 little Patterdale Terriers unspayed; unvaccinated etc. due to be put to sleep - could we give them a chance.
Minxie’s sisters were homed but Minxie came into season so everything was delayed for her. She is such a treasure but feels very vunerable on a lead outside defensive with dogs. However she is fine with joggers, children, cars the lot - just dogs. She also is an escapologist so needs 6′ fencing without helpful stepping stones or fox holes to aid her ‘grand plan’. She is more or less housetrained but may scent mark within a new situation or where there have been other animals.
Minxie is very loving and learned to accept and feel comfortable in a new pack. She was homed for 1 month but sadly despite clearly stating she was reactive to dogs outside she failed her home for that reason. So Minxie the little titch needs a special home with a very secure garden; acceptance mis-demeanors in her housetraining initally and aware she needs to be an only pet and possibly not walked or walked in dog sparse areas. Tall order perhaps, all I can say she is worth it.
She loves her cuddles and adores hide bones, following you about and being spoken to. She is very people friendly. She is spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped, wormed and flead. Minxie has been with us for a year - can you can offer little Minxie a secure future?

Poppy is a little flower Terrier, well Fell Terrier actually. She is 7 months old and bought together with her litter sister - definitely not advisable but money is money! When they became too much the breeder took her back, then her owners saw her advertised in a free-ad starring out of a photo; a sad little mite peering out of a crate. They insisted she came back but the sisters started to turn rough play into fighting and so were kept separated until a rescue place could be found.
Poppy has been proving herself to be such a dear but a “full on” Terrier pup, she is catching up for lost time. We have spayed her pre-season, she is fully vaccinated and micro-chipped. Poppy is much sweeter than these picture show, she is petite in her proportions and developing a little whispery beard. She needs a family who are keen, Terrier experienced, willing to offer her the training she needs.
She is learning about lead work and gaining socialisation outside but this is key for her as she needs to build trust. She is recommended to be an only dog with no dog visitors so that she can develop the sense of safety in her on family. Oh Poppy - you have such people appeal! She is currently being fostered in Kingston upon Thames.
