Meet Blue, a 2 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Blue came from the RSPCA Wirral & Chester Branch as a case dog,he wasn’t coping well in kennels so we offered a fostering space where he’s been for a few months and now he’s with our branch for rehoming. He has been neutered, wormed/flead and vaccinated, he’s yet to be micro-chipped.
Blue came into RSPCA care originally as he had a broken back leg that was not treated. This has now healed after months of rehabilitation but is still building up strength. Because of this, Blue will need short bouts of exercise, no more than 30 minutes several times a day, as if he does too much on it at one time, it becomes a little painful for him and he limps, regular walks is a must to continue to build muscle.
The fosterer tells us he is a lovely dog who likes lots of fuss. He is quite excitable around other dogs but not aggressive and is okay with cats when out and about. He is a clever dog who his fosterer finds quick to learn, having now picked up the sit, stay, down, leave, wait, fetch, off and out/in commands. Blue is very toy orientated and loves to play games and chase balls. He still needs a little more training on the recall as he comes back most of the time, unless there is something more interesting about!
Blue is very clean in the house and okay to be left up to 4 hours with chews and toys to keep him amused. He would be best suited to an energetic home, with no other dogs or young children. His fosterer speaks very highly of Blue, she says he’s the most softest and loving dog with a wonderful temperament and incredibly handsome!

Bert is a 2 year old Bulldog, possibly Victorian Bulldog (without the breathing problems) who is looking for a new home to call his own. He is absolutely gorgeous the best dog in the kennels, loves to quietly sunbathe but! when he gets in a home his behaviour changes as in he trys to mount people and gets cross when told off.
Our trainer is on hand to show this behaviour to any prospective owners and show them how to deal with it. They should expect to visit our kennels in Kent a few times before being allowed to take him as it is extremely important for Bert that he does not keep bouncing back. He would be best suited in an adult only household as the only pet - he will make an amazing pet for the right people.

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.
