Unknown Cross Medium Size
Walter – 4-5 year old male Cross-Breed
Walter is a pointer of about 4-5 years old. He is a medium-sized dog, weighing about 26kg. He is fully-vaccinated and wormed and will be neutered before travelling to the UK from our shelter in Greece.
Walter has been in the shelter since June 2011 and, although we love him dearly, it is about time he found his forever home and settled down with a family who can give him all the cuddles he deserves. He is an energetic lad and so would be better suited to an active family who can treat him to extensive walks and games. As an ex-hunting dog he is full of beans and loves to run and play. He is very friendly with children and other dogs and we are confident he would get on well with cats.
Walter is a very gentle soul – he is very quiet and loves to cuddle and be petted. No matter how much another dog may growl or bark at him he never gets angry or reacts. He is determined to give the best of himself in every aspect of life – whether it is a tender, affectionate cuddle or a boisterous game outdoors.
Walter has not had an easy life so far. He was abandoned by his owners once he had outlived his usefulness as a hunting dog. As with most working dogs in Greece his health had been completely neglected, he was half-starved and had probably never experienced human affection. When our volunteers found him he was in a terrible state and we didn’t think he had long to live. He suffers from kalazar (leishmaniasis) which if left untreated is fatal. We took him in expecting him to pass away in a matter of weeks, but he has surprised us all and made a spectacular recovery. His incredible spirit and desire to live have pulled him through all this and he is so big-hearted and full of life you would never suspect he had seen so much suffering.
Walter is still a carrier of kalazar, with a blood count of 1/200 (on arrival in June 2011 his level was 1/800 and by October it was down to 1/400). His illness is now at a manageable level, but will require devoted, understanding owners who are prepared to take him for regular blood tests and provide him with the medication he needs. A UK vet estimates that it will cost about £250 a year for his tests and a daily tablet of Allupurinol. It is also likely that Walter’s kidneys have suffered damage and that his life will be shortened as a result. Are you prepared to give Walter the chance of life that he has fought so hard for?
Walter will be travelling to the UK at the end of May. His transport costs will be paid; a donation to the shelter will be at the discretion of his new family. He has a foster home ready and waiting for him if necessary but we would love for him to be able to go directly to his forever home so he can start giving out hugs straight away.

This is Jenson – He was found tied to a park railing next to a box containing 2 pups – Daisy and Duke, We are assuming he is their dad although he is only a pup himself and the pups do not resemble him at all! Jenson is around 8 – 10 months, he is calm and quick to learn, very clean in the house, walks lovely on the lead without pulling, happy to greet everyone he meets although he hasnt experienced much so can find some things a bit scary for example traffic!
He loves other dogs and animals, he is nervous around birds as he doesnt know what they are! He is a really cuddly dog, he adores fuss and attention and is extremly loyal. Can you offer this lovely lad a home? He didnt deserve to be abandonded and cannot understand where his family has gone! Jenson is Neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped de flead and wormed.

Doyle – 7 year old male Cross-Breed
Hey there! My name is Doyle, I’m a 7 year old cross-breed. I am a very sociable dog who loves lots of attention and fuss. I could possibly live with another dog in my new home depending on how introductions go here at the centre first. I could possibly live with children who are used to living with bigger dogs as I can get quite excitable at times! I also enjoy a good grooming! If you feel you could offer me the perfect home please pop into the centre to see me!

8Feb2012 | The Blue Cross | READ MOREFefe – 2 year old female Cross-Breed
Fefe is a medium sized girl with shorter fur of approx. 2-years old. Fefe is perfectly fine with cats and other dogs. She can however be very fearful with people around and yelps loudly if spooked or touched when she’s not expecting it which leads us to believe she has been ill-treated in the past perhaps when she was living as a stray.
She really wants to relax and trust however and with experienced owner/s we’re sure she can reach her potential. She is failry high-energy when playing with other dogs and enjoys playing with toys. She’s even starting to play fetch with her foster carers in the last week and this builds her confidence a bit more.
Fefe will need an adult only home ideally with a resident dog as she enjoys their company so much. She will need time to come out of her shell and to stop being so nervous. When she gets really nervous she can pee herself so will need owners that show patience until she is fully confident in her environment.
Fefe has been spayed, vaccinated, wormed and microchipped and is being fostered in the Southgate area of Nth London.
Please contact for both of these will be Sorina on (T) 020 83610762 or sorinab@hotmail.com
6Feb2012 | Furrytail Endings | READ MOREMia – 3 year old female Cross-Breed
Mia is a medium sized girl of around 3-years with soft long fur. Mia has had a very difficult start in life. She endured a facial trauma early on and sadly lost a lot of muscle in the area meaning her face is slightly droopy.
She also lost some fur behind her ears which will probably never grow back. Her left eye was affected but she seems to cope well with it although we are unsure how much she can see in that eye. She is still gorgeous though!
Mia likes to play but overall is quite low energy. Mia is completely house trained. As yet she has not been out on any walks as she is afraid of the lead but gets plenty of exercise running around the garden. She is ok with meeting new people but is still nervous and will need time to fully shine and regain her trust.
Mia is now being fostered in the Southgate area of North London. She is being fostered with other dogs and also cats. She is curious about the cats but doesn’t seem to be aggressive. She is completely fine with other dogs although she can hold her own if need be!!
Mia has been spayed, vaccinated, wormed and microchipped. We would prefer an adult only house for her, a calm environment and one where she can blossom slowly in her own time. She has so much potential though and lots of love to give!

Homing Requirements: Dexter is the medium large crossbreed who needs to have a family centered on his needs, with some basic commands and boundaries in place and a lead walking regime. Dexter needs a sizable garden with 6′ panel fencing so he can enjoy games. Dexter would be great with older children or visiting younger providing ‘taps’ are kept on his exuberance. Super lad!
His Story: Dexter was originally found stray. He was homed for nearly a year but due to change of circumstances has come back on to our books. Dexter has just February before he returns to kennels if not homed in the meantime. Dexter is well known and loved by our rescue. Neutered, fully vax’d and chipped.
Promotional Video made by children at Greenoak School: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf-ZVa39zWs
Advert: Dexter was the “puppy dog” desperate to find his way and has come through into adulthood. Dexter wants to run, have fun, play ball and enjoy loads of cuddles. He however also settled down well when left preferably with a window to watch awaiting his owners return. He travels well in the car. Dexter enjoyed training classes, settled to his own skin and is now less anxious about meeting and greeting other dogs. He has learned to tone down his enthusiasm but still needs to be retained on an extender. Yes you must be prepared to have a large dog perched on your lap!

Dexter has rich red coat and amber eyes. He wants to please and knows how to earn his treats! Dexter has been carefully managed by his current owner who will support his new homing to ensure the progress made goes from strength to strength. He is a brilliant “must have dog” with neighbours saying “whow you were lucky to find such an adoring dog” … and you’ll smile with pride as though butter wouldn’t melt!
