Kennel dogs needing a foster home
 |
| Bonnie |
 |
| Bow |
 |
| Doyle |
 |
| KayDee |
 |
| Nina |
 |
| Quavers |
Bonnie is a gem. She loves cuddles and is a very friendly crossbreed girl. Bow the gorgeous blue Staff is only about 10 months old and would love a sofa to cuddle up on.
Doyle the collie boy is not suitable for a first time fosterer but needs someone with collie experience who is able to visit him a few times before fostering him as he is a very nervous lad.
KayDee is a young, big and bouncy bundle of fun. She needs someone who is able to work on her training and teach her a few manners as she can be a bit over enthusiastic at times.
Sweet Nina, the American Bull dog is an unclaimed stray but from everything we've seen of her she is a lovely, friendly girl. She has shared her kennel with a variety of large breed dogs and has got on well with all of them.
As for Quavers, how can you resist him! He is around 3 years old and really wants to be out of kennels soon. Can you help?
If you feel you have the space and skills required to foster any of these characters please contact us. You can read more about them here http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?board=9.0

Can you?
Do you love dogs and cats? Are you sad you can’t
foster? Do you feel helpless and wish
there was a way you could help? Well there are LOADS of ways you can help every one of them
as important as fostering, probably in lot’s of respects MORE important.
Home checking
We desperately need more home checkers in more areas. This
is the most important part of our process the report and detail a home checker
can give is essential for the trustees
to be happy that the home the dog is going to is the right forever home. We
sometimes struggle to get homes checked quickly enough because there aren’t
many people available to check. It’s honestly easy to go and talk to someone
who really wants to share their home with a four paws dog, and most of the time
it’s like having a really pleasant hour with a new friend. We really need your help to get our dogs the
sofa they deserve!
Meet and Greets
These are an essential part of getting our information out
to people who have never heard of us. We are looking to increase the number of
venues we attend, but desperately need people to volunteer and lead the events.
We are looking at two-hour quick sharp events that don’t tie up too much of
people’s precious time. Specialist skills required, just holding a tin and
handing out leaflets, fosterers will come along and provide the dogs for people
to see and hopefully apply to re-home.
Paws for Tea

| Jayda |
Another essential fundraising activity these are held
monthly in a variety of venues. They normally last about two and a half hours and if you can come
along buy a raffle ticket and a cake that’s good, but even better if you can
man a stall, or bake or help with the setting up and pulling down, or perhaps
you have a craft you enjoy that you would like a stall for and could share your
profit with us, we would love to hear from you. We are trying to think of new
ways to keep the P4T events fresh and exciting so if you have an idea no matter
how far out and think you know how it could be achieved please Four Paws needs
you!
Events
We go to loads of shows over the year to increase awareness
and provide funds; we could attend more if we had more volunteers willing to
man the stall. It’s not hard work but it is essential and it gets the word out
about the rescue and the important work we all do alongside our everyday
activities, and the dogs we help.
Street collections.
Something we are really keen to get into to generate much
needed funds and spread the word further. We’ve applied for licences in
Cardiff, Whitchurch, Blackwood and Caerphilly but we will need volunteers to
man them, we aren’t looking for you to tie up a whole day just two hours and
that time is essential part of allowing Four Paws animal rescue to continue.
Ideas
We bet you have hundreds of them and your shouting at the
computer saying what about ... well share them with us. We need the ideas as
well events such as Clairvoyant night and Karaoke night are really popular we
need people to make them happen. Four Paws needs you.
Donations
We bet you have cupboards full of things that we could sell,
things that you don’t want or need that people would love to buy. If you
haven’t got any time to give us we would LOVE to have these items for our
raffles, stalls, auctions and car boot sales. Non-perishable human and dog food
and drinks of any description are also high on our lists for tombola’s raffles
and stalls. So go on have a search through and find things that will help the
dogs that find themselves through no fault of their own, needing our care.
So there are loads of ways you can support us. Which one
will you choose!

Terrier heaven
 |
| Bertie |
 |
| Katie |
 |
| Lacey |
 |
| Maggie |
 |
| Monty |
 |
| Poppet |
These beautiful terriers are all looking for their forever homes. First of all meet Bertie. He is aged between 2-3 years old and would prefer to be the only dog in the household. He has the most beautiful temperament and would win any canine smile competition.
Then there's Katie, who is quite a nervous little girl. She came in to our care with her Mum Maggie and they are both looking for homes. Could you be the right person to boost her confidence and show her how she can enjoy life?
Lacey is our little star from the pound. She used to be a terrified and skinny dog but after a few months of tlc in her foster home she is ready to find her own family.
Just look at Monty. Isn't he adorable? He is a poodle cross Yorkie and has so much love to give. Someone must have space for this lovely little guy in their home?
Poppet is also another pound success. She came to us with a terrible skin condition and has come on beautifully since being in foster care. She is now confident, fit and healthy but really needs a family to call her own.
For more information on all of these lovely terriers and other dogs needing new homes please visit http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?board=8.0

Thank you

| Asha in his foster home with beautiful Biggie |
We held our Paws4Tea event at Llandaff, Cardiff last weekend and raised an amazing £445. This will go a long way with vets fees, kennel fees and the general running of the charity. We are very grateful for your support.
There are a few new arrivals, and a couple to look out for who have just gone into foster. One of those is a cocker spaniel girl called Millie. She is off to her foster home sometime today so look out for her rehoming thread on the forum.Another beauty who is off to a lovely foster home is Kenzo. He is a 22 month old Pom so keep an eye out on the forum for his rehoming thread if you are interested.
Lucky Asha has also gone to his new foster home. He has been placed with Lydia - who spent many months looking after poorly Chou Chou and did a fantastic job. Currently, he is keeping Biggie the pup company and acting like any other puppy of his age - to think that he was going to be put to sleep when he is obviously enjoying life so much.
