Pepsi – 14 year old female Corgi cross Terrier
Pepsi is a 14 year old Corgi cross Terrier who is in an Oldies Club foster home in Romford, Essex, waiting for someone to offer her a permanent home.
Introducing Pepsi: Pepsi is a very happy dog who loves company and is eager to please. She is good with dogs, cats and children.
Settled quite quickly: Pepsi had settled at her foster home after about a week and it now seems like she has always been a part of the family.
Can be left but enjoys company: Pepsi is happy to be left for a few hours but does like to have company most of the time. She wouldn’t be happy living with full-time workers.
Likes dogs: Pepsi’s foster carers have two other dogs and Pepsi has become good friends with them.
Fine with cats: There is a cat in Pepsi’s foster home and she avoids it most of the time.
Could live with children over 6: Pepsi loves being around children and would be a great addition to any family, but she would be best with children aged over 6 years.
Loves walks: Pepsi loves her walks and is very good on the lead. She is currently having about 20-30 minutes every morning and evening, but if offered Pepsi would love to go out walking during the day. She enjoys a game of fetch although sometimes she wants you to do the fetching!
Good in the car: Pepsi travels well in the car.
Health notes: Pepsi has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flea-treated and wormed. She has had a problem with her gums and an infection can flare up and she will need antibiotics to clear it. She may need to have a dental cleaning in the future but at the moment our vet advised against it as the gum infection may only flare up every six months or so. Therefore, whilst it can be treated with antibiotics they think it is best to leave it alone unless it becomes more frequent.
Foster carer’s summary of Pepsi: Pepsi is a lovely, cuddly dog who loves life and will make a fantastic companion for anyone looking for a fun loving, bouncy, lovable little girl. She makes you smile every time you open the front door and see her excited at having you home with her. She loves to get up fairly early every morning and even if you feel like turning over for an extra forty winks, it will not happen as once you see her enthusiasm you just want to get up and join her. Once you have met her you will see how adorable she is and will be pleased to make her a part of your life.
11Feb2012 | The Oldies Club | READ MORERosco, Freckles, Pebbles, Misty and Bounty – 3 1/2 month old male and female COllies
Please meet Rosco, Freckles, Pebbles, Misty and Bounty. They are lovely 3 1/2 month old Collies with a mixture of colours tri/black and white/merle. Three boys and two girls. They are very affectionate and full of life just like any other puppy. They love to run about and play with their toys and other dogs.
These pups are very clever and want to learn and please you all the time. They travel well in the car. House training is on going but they are all doing well. We are looking for homes where someone will be about for most of the day as they are still very young.
We strongly recommend puppy socialisation and training classes to get the most out of your dog and as they are Collies will need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation throughout their life. Please read up on this breed for their size, temperament and ability as they are from working stock and not a “sit at home and do nothing dog”. They will need a lot of off lead regular exercise.
These puppy’s are vaccinated and wormed. They will need to be neutered and micro-chipped as part of the adoption agreement when they are old enough and proof of this will need to be provided.
Meggie – 11 month old female Collie cross Terrier
Meggie is a very small Collie cross Terrier girl of about 11 months old. Meggie is a lovely young girl who is a little bit timid but very loving and affectionate and once she has learnt to trust you she is by your side. I walked her out for the first time this morning and let her off the lead. Meggie was no problem at all and didn’t run off and walked with various other dog friends of different size/breeds who she was OK with just a little bit timid again. No aggression at all. She may just tell the other foster puppy off that is in her face a bit too much and wants her to play all the time. However, Meggie doesn’t mix and play with the other dogs. She is happy to have their company but doesn’t engage in any play. She would rather be with you.
Meggie sleeps well at night and cat be left on her own. She is crate trained and dry at night although has the odd accident in doors. Although we don’t have any history on her she has shown signs that she has had to find food herself as she eats very quickly and as if it will be her only meal for a month. She is on the thin side and does need feeding up. She also does not want to share it but yet again I think that this is because she has been starving and it won’t be an issue when she realises there will be another meal on the way a few hours later. Her manners are very good too. Her tail seems to have had grease in it as it looks dirty and although I have washed her and she is clean it is still stained. However, I’m sure this will eventually disappear. So may be she was stuck outside in a yard or just picked up whilst scavenging.
All in all she is a lovely little dog and I love her to pieces. She needs a bit of “Tender Loving Care” initially, which she deserves, but she has no bad vices and she is very affectionate and wants to please you. She is small (below the knee – not at all collie size) and her fur is a bit wiry, not smooth and silky and she gives me the impression she has a bit of terrier in her face.
She has learnt to sit for me for a bit of food very quickly, so I know in her little mind there is a very intelligent, quick learning little girl who will shine for the right person.
We are looking for a home who is understanding and sympathetic to her needs and is around for some of the time during the day, although she can be left for a couple of hours no problem. She will benefit from basic command training once she feels happy and secure in her new home, but initially a little bit of time spent on building up a friendship with her and to make her feel wanted and secure is a must. This little girl has been through hard times in her short life, so only deserves the very best.
Meggie is vaccinated and wormed and will be spayed and micro-chipped before adoption.
Meggie is being fostered in Waltham Abbey, Essex, near J26 of M25.

11Feb2012 | Ravenswood Rescue Cambridgeshire | READ MORESky – 5 year old female Siberian Husky
Hello, my name is Sky. I’m a five year old female Siberian Husky. I arrived at The Mayhew because my owners separated and neither of them felt they could look after me. I am a very friendly and affectionate girl. I’m toilet trained, I can be left on my own for a few hours without any problems and I travel well in the car. I’m well-behaved and obedient and I know all the usual commands which I respond well to. I’m also sociable and out-going and I get along well with everyone I meet and I always greet people with a waggy tail. I also get along well with other dogs but I won’t tolerate them pestering me and I’ll tell them off if they become too boisterous.
I am now looking for a forever home with someone who has owned dogs before and has researched my breed type. I would happily live with sensible teenagers and I could live with another male dog providing we’re the right match but no cats please. My new owners will be expected to provide me with a minimum of one hour of active off lead exercise in the park every day. If you’re interested in adopting me you will need to be fully prepared for the hard work and long-term commitment involved in caring for a dog, you will be taking on an eleven year commitment, which must not be taken lightly.
I hope to see you soon
Sky
