Pound puppies

Blossom - reserved
Sophie - rehomed
Chou Chou - on hold
We have had three beautiful pups in today and couldn't wait to share them with you. We will update their rehoming threads as we get to know them but so far they are little crackers. For more information on them please visit http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?board=8.0

Mighty Millie

Millie is a five month old pup who was sold to a family (by a West Wales puppy outlet) who weren't prepared for an active girl like this one. She is a Pug cross Cavalier and has so much energy! Her foster carer says she thinks the world is her toy shop and like all puppies her new owners will have to show her the ropes and continue with her training. If you have what it takes visit   http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?topic=9135.0  for more information.

Candy

Candy is a foxhound cross and has just come into foster care. She is undergoing her 14 day assessment and more details will follow soon.

We think she is about 3 years old and is proving to be a very loving dog, who is lacking in a bit of confidence at the moment. Loud noises can startle her but this is hardly surprising considering she has had a very mixed up few weeks after being picked up by the dog warden, taken to the pound, taken into foster care. Once she settles we are sure her personality and confidence will start to develop and Carrie, her foster carer, will tell us more about her.

Collie pup

Rocky is a little collie pup who is full of beans and was handed in through no fault of his own. His foster carer is getting to know him and will update his rehoming thread as time goes on. First impressions though is that he's a fab boy and will make a great addition to an active home. The problem is he doesn't really like standing still long enough to get his photo taken!

Talking of collies our fosterers Leanne and Kaz have taken on another expectant dog - this time a young collie. She needs a bit of feeding up as she's underweight but after a full health check and scan at the vets they have been told to expect puppies in the next week. Needless to say they are busy preparing the maternity unit!

We cannot stress enough the importance of getting your pets neutered and spayed. This dog's litter was unwanted, which is why she ended up in her care. Hopefully now, with the love of two very dedicated and experienced doggy midwives, we can bring these pups into the world and find them some special forever homes.

Terrier invasion

Bella - reserved
For those of you who follow our website and forum regularly you may have noticed the amount of terriers we have waiting for homes at the moment. Bella is undergoing her 14-day assessment and has come to us straight from the pound. She looks like a Labrador Staffordshire Bull terrier mix, but it is anybody's guess really! Her foster carer says she's fallen for Bella's charms already and she is fitting in with the resident dogs with no problem at all. For more information on this lady visit http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?topic=9093.0

Chiko - reserved
Chiko is a lovable Yorkshire terrier who just wants to be close to you and involved in everything you do. He is housetrained and is friendly towards other dogs, cats, children. What more could you want if you're after a pint-sized companion? For further information on Chiko please visit http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?topic=8747.0

Terri
Terri is an excitable girl who looks (and acts) like she has a bit of collie in her make up. She is a very busy dog and has trouble sitting still. Although, when she does her foster carers say that she gives the best cuddles! Not having had the best start in life Terri can be a little nervous so her new owners will have to be patient with her. For further information visit http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?topic=9043.0

Wilbur - reserved
Wilbur is being fostered in Oxfordshire - see - we're not all in Wales! He is a little sweetie aged between one and two years who walks beautifully on the lead. This boy may not be cat friendly as he has shown a bit of an interest in wanting to chase birds and small furries. He adores people and other dogs though and can't wait to have a forever lap to snuggle into. For further information on Wilbur click here http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?topic=9087.0

Expect to see a few more updates like this one because our website will be undergoing necessary maintenance and hopefully improvements in the next few weeks and we won't be able to update it while this is going on.

I have been asked to contact you by one of my colleagues in the animal welfare team to inform you that 'Lush would like to make a £1,000 donation towards your rescue work, on behalf of Lydia Niziblian, who is one of Lush's favourite customers.'
