Merlin is a special boy. He was rehomed through FPAR several years ago and has sadly returned as his elderly owner has fallen ill and is unable to care for him any more.
Merlin is at least 9 years old and is a bit wobbly on his legs. His foster carer has taken him to the vets and they have recommended massage. This is working wonders with him. Apparently he has some sort of nerve problem that affects his back end and in addition to that he suffers from a condition called paraphimosis, which means he can't put his 'aparatus' away. Feel free to google it for more information!
He doesn't ask for much. Love, patience and the company of another calm dog and Merlin will be a happy boy. Do you have what it takes?

Gosh, a week since our last post!
Bow - reserved |
Bow is a lurcher boy who is 2 years old and an absolute sweetheart. To find out more about this lad please visit http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?topic=9340.0 Update: Bow had visitors on Sunday who adored him so he is now reserved pending a homecheck.
Here is the lovely Jade. She has been in kennels for some time now but as finally got herself a smashing foster home. Her fosterers say she is a big softy so please forget all you read about Staffies being well 'ard status dogs. Most of them aren't. They used to be known as Nanny dogs because they were so good with people and children. Jade is showering her fosterers with those famous Staffie kisses and is desperate for a home to call her own. For more information on her please visit http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?topic=9357.0
We were also asked to collect some kittens who were born in someone's shed - and they didn't even own a cat! Luckily Denise at Vale Cat Rescue was on hand to take them and the Cat's Protection volunteers will be heading down to the house soon to set traps to catch the very nervous mother cat so she can be spayed and hopefully rehomed. It wasn't an ideal situation and it's always nice to keep the family together but she was so fearful of humans that no one could get near her. At least the kittens have been rescued. In a few weeks time we may have lost the opportunity to get them because mum would have taken them off elsewhere and there would be 7 nervous cats on the loose.
Well, until next time enjoy your weekend and all of this wonderful weather.
Please remember DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG IN YOUR CAR. In this heat even with a window open air may not circulate and this could be fatal for your pet.

Dave and Rebecca on the cake stall |
Our foster carers corner was jam packed with foster dogs and kennel dogs waiting for a second chance in life and we really hope you enjoyed meeting them.
As usual our delicious cake stall was a huge success and Dave and Rebecca did a grand job in running it and, of course, the baking!
Thanks to Leanne and Kaz who worked very hard to get our first area promoting foster carers and hopefully some of you will be going home and filling out those forms and welcoming your first foster dog before too long.
Foster carers wanted |
The weather was kind to us too and remained dry - even the sun put in an appearance.
We managed to raise an awesome £447. Thank you.

Some of our kennel dogs
If you think you could foster one of these beautiful dogs and haven't registered with us yet please fill out a foster carer application form (https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDEtVF9tc2xvQWRxMlZmWFFVWXRaaUE6MA)
Here we have:
They are all looking for their second chance but unless someone offers them a space in a foster home this will not happen. All FPAR dogs undergo a 14-day assessment so we can get to know them and their requirements so if you have what it takes then please get in touch.
Here we have:

New arrivals
Lilly |
Sorry, we didn't stop with the cute puppy pictures for long! We have some new arrivals that came into our care this weekend.
First of all there is Lilly (sister of Robbie). She is a 14 week old crossbreed and we're guessing there is labrador in the mix somewhere, although cannot be sure.
To find out more about her please visit http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?topic=9268.0
Rocket |
Then we have 9 week old Rocket. He is an absolute sweetheart and loves a cuddle. His pictures really do not do him justice as he is a very handsome chap. We really have no idea what sort of cross he is, but can say he is a cutie (and so's his sister Sparkle), Visit http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?topic=9261.0 to find out more about him.

Robbie |
This is little Robbie, brother of Lilly. He's a 14 week old crossbreed (with some lab in the mix, we think, but cannot be sure). This handsome boy spent his first night sleeping soundly in his bed and was as quiet as a mouse. For more information on this lovely lad, visit http://forum.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/index.php?topic=9265.0
