Sky – 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

Samson – 2 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Hi, I’m Samson. I haven’t always been this way it wasn’t my fault. I don’t see myself any different, but it is your kind that judges me. I was involved in a RTA (Road Traffic Accident), and I underwent an operation that meant losing my hind leg. It wasn’t painful as such. They put me under anesthetic so I would feel no further discomfort. I’m used to dealing with pain, as my litter mates always played hard, but when I work up from my operation, experienced a different kind of pain…

My owners were nowhere to be seen. Maybe they hadn’t located me, or they got caught in traffic, or what if they couldn’t face seeing me this way? Would they be so heartless to abandon me? You hear of these things called pounds, (a place humans put unwanted dogs), but I don’t think they are real.

Well, let me tell you… they are real. I was placed in one after my operation, and it’s a soul-destroying environment. From what I’ve gathered, when you come into these places, you are given only so long to live. Most of the inmates I’ve seen have never left. It’s almost like a prison for my kind. If your humans don’t come to get you, or a dog rescue can’t offer you a rescue space, you die!

I didn’t want to die there, not after I’d survived that RTA. I had to believe I was still alive for some reason. Maybe my human family were coming to get me. Maybe they had managed to locate me, and everything was going to be OK. Unfortunately. They never came. My time was up, and I was being removed. I thought that was it…But, like a twist in a Steven Spielberg story, I was saved by a rescue!

Now, currently living with 15 other dogs, from Chihuahuas, to 16 stone English Mastiffs, 7 cats, Chickens, Horses, and young toddlers, I’m doing great! I love everybody and everything, I’m so thankful. The others don’t make fun of me, or bully me just because I have 3 legs, although they did nickname me Trio (but I’ve changed my name to Samson). I shocked them when I chased them around the garden, but indeed I became a cropper when I slipped over the banana skin they had left me. I just love life, and have so many thanks to give to the humans that saved me. I’m not into confrontation I just like to be warm and comfortable. The food is great here, the people and animals are so friendly, and it really helps me to relax.

But, I know I can’t relax for too long, as I now need to find a new home and family, to call my own. Don’t let my misfortune put you off. I’m not worried about it, so why should you? If you are going to rescue a dog, then why not do just that? Help a dog that is really in need of love. Help a case, that otherwise would be booked to die for no reason.

You’ve read my story, and you know why I’m here. I can’t blame my previous owners maybe they just panicked or couldn’t cope. For one, they are only human. So go on, pick up the dog and bone, and give the rescue a ring. Or, if you’re hi-tech and with it, send an email, and if they are not taking me and the gang out for an afternoon stroll, they will call you back as soon as they can.

Thank you

Jasper – 5 month old male Labrador Cross

Meet Jasper. This little chunky chap is a 5 month old Labrador Cross. Living with 14 dogs, cats, chickens, horses and children, he is very well behaved. A chilled character, that has nothing to prove. Sometimes, you don’t even know he’s there! Loves to run about the garden, responds well to food. Eats with gusto, very clean in his crate at night, very quiet and friendly too.

Loves people,loves everything. He is to be castrated when he comes of age. Vaccinated and treated for worms and fleas, this is a cracking little fella.
