Bobby - 1 year old male Cross-Breed

Bobby is only 1 year old small cross-breed but he has had a very horrid start in life! His first owners husband use to kick him and throw him around the room. Thisill treatment has taken it’s toll on little Bobby, he is very nervous of people he doesn’t know to the point where he will run and hide if approached.

Because of his long coat he will need grooming daily, this proves to be a challenge. He is fine having his face and body brushed, but his belly and back end werea bit matted when he arrived, when we tried grooming those areas he turns to bite, we switched to scissors so the grooming didn’t hurt, but he still reacted in the same way.

He will need to be muzzled whilst being groomed until he learns to trust you. He is not great with other dogs, so we would
like his new home to take Bobby to training classes to help with his socialisation. He will chase cats. Although he is okay with children, due tohis very timid nature Bobby will only be homed with children 10+ who will understand that he has had a very bad start and it will take time beforehe trusts them.

Once Bobby realises he is not going to be hurt, he is a very loving dog, he gives kisses and will sit quietly on your lap for a
fuss. He will need a very understanding home which will take things slowly with him and not be put off by his initial mistrust.

Roxy - 5-6 month old female Cross-Breed

Roxy is a 3-4 month old cross-breed female who was found wandering the streets so sadly we have no history on this little puppy, she is a bubby and very confident character who seems to have endless energy. Roxy will need active outdoor loving owners to keep up with her and provide the stimulation she needs on a daily basis, Roxy will get bored easily and needs activities.

Roxy is intelligent but easily distracted, owners will need to be patient and dedicate time to her training and puppy social work, she will need all training from scratch and this includes house training. Roxy will be a rewarding challenge for the experienced dog owner, she is not suitable for the first time dog owner.

Roxy adores other dogs but is non-stop and full on, most dogs will not cope with this constant whirl-wind flying around, she is distracted by dogs and will not listen to people if there are dogs near by! Due to this we feel at this stage Roxy will be better in a home on her own without other dogs.

Once Roxy is fully house trained and settled she could be left for short periods, being a puppy it would be advisable that new owners crate train Roxy to help with this but to also provide a secure area when owners are away from the house for any period. Unfortunately Roxy cannot live with children, ideally an all adult household is needed but teenagers would be considered.

If you feel you can offer this little live wire a new home please contact the rehoming team at Old Windsor on 01784 494443, apply online or email us on bow.rehomers@dogshome.org.

Ethel - 7 year old female cross-breed

Ethel is a 7 year old small cross-breed female who came into the shelter in September 2007. She was isolated from life before coming here so needs a quiet home where she can get used to things slowly. She is really sweet but can be fearful so wants an understanding and calm owner who will be kind and patient. No harsh handling.

Build up trust in house and garden before taking for walks – she will not cope. He can be rehomed with children 16 years + and would be best suited as the only pet in the household. She is probably not house-trained and he needs working with to allow him to be left on his own. Nervous dog experience would be recommended for potential new owners.
