next arrow

Name: Heidi

Age: 2 and a half years old

Breed: Cavalier King Charles

Can I live with Children: Older sensible children

Can I live with cats: Yes

Can I live with other dogs: A must 

Fostered In: South Wales

Heidi is a 2 and a half year old Cavalier King Charles who is being fostered in South Wales. She is a gorgeous and affectionate ex-breeding girl who has grown in confidence since being in her foster home. Heidi has been diagnosed with an open irregular heartbeat. She had an echo scan on her heart before she was spayed and was perfectly fine and stable under anaesthetic. The vets can not 100% guarantee that this won’t cause any problems in the future and she should be monitored as she could need medication.                            

People – Heidi can be an inquisitive little girl she’s wary of humans when she first meets them but does love a fuss, so it doesn’t take long for her to warm to you if you give her the fuss she craves. She is fine with children but older gentler children may be better as she doesn’t like to be chased and can be startled with loud noises.

Dogs – Heidi needs to live with another dog.

Cats – Heidi has lived in the foster home with both a rabbit and a cat and is not bothered by either.

In the home – Heidi’s house training is coming on well. She’s learning to go outside with the other dogs and will copy their every move. She only has an accident now and again. Heidi is happy in the house and seems to be becoming a very confident girl now. she will bark at passers-by and any noises can set her off she’s definitely found her voice, but take her outside and she’s a totally different dog.

Out and about – She’s unsure of the outside world and it is still work in progress. Heidi is fine in the car she will be wary to start and will shake quite badly, she will then settle down and sleep. Going to the vets can be quite scary for her but she is getting better.      

Type of home – Heidi would suit best in a home that can give her the attention and love she craves. someone that wouldn’t mind her sleeping on their bed as she loves to be close to her humans at bedtime. She will beat her foster mum to her bed every night and be ready and waiting.  Heidi needs at least one other dog in the house as she relies on the resident dogs to teach her how do doggie things and she also loves to snuggle up with them during the day. She has been left with her resident dogs during the day for a few hours and have had no problems. Heidi likes to steal washing and clothing items that are left on the floor and she will be partial to have a little chew of these items so doggie toys and chewy bones are a must. She loves anything food orientated as she’s a big foodie

Heidi is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in South Wales

REHOMED – Trina 4 year old Cavalier
trina cavalier 4 years
trina cavalier 4 years
previous arrow
next arrow

Name: Trina

Age: 4 years old

Breed: Cavalier King Charles

Can I live with Children: Over 8s

Can I live with cats: Not tested

Can I live with other dogs: Yes a must

Fostered In: Newport, South Wales

Trina is a 4-year old Cavalier who is being fostered in Newport, South Wales. She is a beautiful girl who is desperate to be loved. She is slowly becoming more of a dog now and has started to venture upstairs and jump onto the settee. Trina suffers with suspected IBS and is currently on a bland diet of prescribed food also has mucky ears which will need to be cleaned regularly                                      

People – Trina is brilliant with all children and adults in the home but is petrified of other humans that come into the house. She will shake, hide and wet herself but if left alone will gradually come up to sniff then in her own time. Any children in her new home should be dog savvy and over 8 years.  

Dogs – Trina loves the dogs in her foster home and follows then around constantly. She cwtches up to them at every opportunity and follows them out the garden for toileting. Trina has no spacial awareness when it comes to dogs she likes to try and climb on top of them and find the smallest space to be right by them. Trina would definitely need another laid back dog who could continue to teach her to trust humans and be a dog but who is also laid back enough to let her be herself with her insecurities.

Cats – Not cat tested but she isn’t phased by the rabbit on her foster home.

In the home – It has taken Trina 4 weeks to venture upstairs (3 story house) to be with us in the living room and any sudden noise she will run back downstairs to the safety of the kitchen. Trina sleeps in the kitchen overnight. Trina isn’t destructive at all but she is a hoarder she likes to collect everything in sight whether that be clothes shoes teddies or a hairbrush which she gathers all in her dog bed. Trina isn’t crated. Trina needs some coaxing to eat her meals she is currently on prescribed vet biscuits which are soaked in water due to 3 weeks of upset tummy. Trina doesn’t scrounge for food. Trina doesn’t play with toys but will collect them into a pile. Trina is fine being left on her own and had been left for a few hours with no problems

Out and about – Trina doesn’t go out for walks yet she is really scared of everyday noise and wets herself and trembles when she has a lead or harness on and tries to back out of it and every opportunity. It is very slowly a work in progress.

Type of home – Trina will need a home with another laid back dog, ideally a cavalier, as she seems to love her own breed. She will need a home where the humans are very patient and understand that it could possibly take her weeks to get her confidence but when she learns to trust them they will see a beautiful side to her. Trina can be left for a few hours as long as she has company of another dog, I would recommend children over the age of 8 only as she is such a scared girl and likes minimal noise. In time Trina would also benefit from a slightly active home as she has a lot of energy but also loves to cuddle up as well at every opportunity

Trina is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in Newport, South Wales

Name: Suzy

Age: 3 years old

Breed: Pug

Can I live with Children: Yes

Can I live with cats: Yes

Can I live with other dogs: Yes 

Fostered In: South Wales

Suzy is a 3-year old Pug who is being fostered in Newport, South Wales. She is an affectionate girl with a delightful personality, and she loves cuddles.

People – Suzy is fine being touched by people. She enjoys the company of the visiting grandchildren in her foster home who are aged 7 and 11 years. Out on walks she loves to meet other people and get fuss from strangers.

Dogs – Suzy is fine with the other pug in her foster home but can get a bit bossy and forgets to share toys with him. She is happy to meet other dogs when out walking and would be happiest in a home where there is another dog for company.

Cats – She has been fine around the cat she has met

In the home – Suzy is house trained in her foster home and sleeps in her basket during the day. She happily plays with toys and can be left for short periods. At night, Suzy feels safest sleeping on her humans’ bed, and she will voice her displeasure if made to sleep downstairs on her own.

Out and about – Suzy loves walks and going out in the car. She is fine at the vets and enjoys regular walks.

Type of home – Suzy does suffer from a little bit of separation anxiety and would like the company of another dog if she will be left for short periods on a regular basis. If her humans are home for most of the day she could be happy as an only dog.   Suzy is approx. 3 years old, so needs an active home where she gets regular exercise.

Suzy is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in South Wales.

Name: Minxi

Age: 3-4 years old

Can I live with Children: Over 10s

Can I live with cats: Yes

Can I live with other dogs: Yes, a must 

Fostered In: Neath, South Wales

Minxi is a 3-4 year old Cavalier who is being fostered in Neath, South Wales. She is a very sweet little girl  she likes to pinch your slipper and she loves to cuddle up with the other dogs in her foster home.

People – Minxi is still very timid around strangers but with encouragement she will get better. Any children in the home should be over 10.

Dogs –   Minxi loves the company of other does and although struggles currently with lead walking, enjoys spending time with the dogs in her foster home.

Cats – Minxi lives with a cat in her foster home

In the home – Minxi is learning all about housetraining now and her adopters will have to be patient with her until she gets the hang of it. She enjoys cuddling up with the other dogs on the sofa and enjoys time on her dog bed. She hasn’t shown any signs of being destructive and doesn’t play with toys but in time we think she will learn. She loves her food and eats well. She has been left for about 2 hours but has always had another dog for company.

Out and about – Minxi is nervous walking on the lead and will need more time to learn all about this. She is ok in the car but is nervous at the vets. Her adopters should be patient with her and gently help her with further socialisation.

Type of home – Minxi needs a home where her humans are around for most of the day. She is used to living with other dogs and gains her confidence from them so another dog in the home is a must. Any children need to be over 10 years old and they will have to show her patience and kindness so that she gets used to them. Minxi can live with cats.

Minxi is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in Neath, South Wales

Team Ratty
Rats1
previous arrow
next arrow

Take a look at these fellas! This is a first for us…. Rats! Well, certainly a first for me although I’m sure someone will let me know if we’ve previously been big in the ratty world! I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about rats and their needs (the fact that I queried whether the photos were actually of one rat duplicated four times probably confirms that!) but luckily for us their fabulous foster mum is a dab hand at taking some great photos of them, and providing personal biographies for them all.

They are thought to be just over a year old and didn’t have the best start to their lives. They were surrendered by their original owners and were in a bit of a state. Unfortunately the first kind lady to take them in had a dog who was rather too interested in them, so they had to move on to their third home. We are now looking for their fourth and forever perfect home – these boys have had enough moving round to last them a little furry lifetime.

They are currently unnamed so we just going with numbers:

Boy 1 Can normally be found chilling in his hammock. He’s the largest of the group and is really friendly with exploring being on the top of his agenda.

Boy 2 Has a small skin tag at the end of his nose and by chance he is the nosiest of the bunch, he just can’t wait to go and get his nose stuck into things, sometimes where he shouldn’t!

Boy 3 This boy is the bravest and is always the first to say hello. Even if all the others are sleeping, he will often still make the effort to come and say hi especially if there’s a yummy treat involved!

Boy 4 He is the most reserved of the group but is not by any means shy – he just likes to come over and investigate on his terms. Apparently he can be a bit of a drama lama if you pick him up!

Foster Mum is pleased to report she has never been nipped and all of them seem very healthy. Their coats were quite stained when they first came in so it will take time to get into perfect condition but this is already being helped by proper diet and will continue as they moult.

If you think you are able to give these four little characters the forever home they deserve, please fill in the adoption link below (ignoring the fact it says rabbits!): ADOPTION FORM

Name: Jake

Age: 2-years old

Breed: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Can I live with Children:  Yes, sensible ones

Can I live with cats: Not tested

Can I live with other dogs: Yes

Fostered In: Rhondda, South Wales

Lovely Jake is a 2-year old Cavalier who is being fostered in Rhondda, South Wales. He is a sweet boy who hasn’t had the best start in life. He loves going out for walks and enjoys exploring the countryside or beaches.

People – Jake is very much a people dog. He loves human company and although a little wary of hand over his head he’s happy to be fussed and is never far from a lap. He could live with sensible children who know to be gentle with him. Out and about he loves everyone  

Dogs – Jake greets all dogs with a wag of his tail when out for walks. He is currently in foster with other dogs but doesn’t really interact or play with them so could live with other sensible dogs or as an only dog if not left for too long.

Cats – Not tested

In the home – Jake is fully housetrained in his foster home. He sleeps in the kitchen with other dogs but would be equally happy in the bedroom. He has never been crated as he’s not destructive at all. Jake is not yet playing with toys but this may come as he feels more settled.

Out and about – Jake loves nothing more than going for a long walk. He will initially pull with excitement but soon settles into a steady pace. He loves meeting new people and dogs whilst out walking. Jake is great at the vet and is fine in the car on short journeys

Type of home – Jake would love a home where he is taken on lots of nice walks. He really is an easy boy to have in the home and will shower you with love given the chance. He would suit almost any home but would not be happy if he is left for too long during the day.

Jake is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with his flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet him in his foster home in Rhondda, South Wales

Name: Ollie

Age: 10 months old

Breed: Cavalier King Charles cross

Can I live with Children: Not tested

Can I live with cats: Not tested

Can I live with other dogs: Yes

Fostered In: Berkshire

Ollie is a 10-month old Cavalier King Charles cross who is being fostered in Berkshire. He is a loving little chap who loves nothing more than cuddling up with you on the sofa. He is young, curious and keen to explore. He has an undershot jaw but no known health issues.

People – Ollie can be shy initially and currently lives in an adult-only home with other dogs so is yet to meet any children. Once he knows you he loves attention and fuss.

Dogs –  Ollie lives with other dogs but doesn’t really interact with them. He would be happy as an only dog or with another dog for company.

Cats – Not cat tested

In the home – Ollie’s housetraining is a work in progress and he is currently still scent-marking. He isn’t destructive but hasn’t been left for very long yet. Any periods will have to be built up gradually so he gets used to being on his own. He is a nervous eater so does prefer a calmer environment while eating.

Out and about – Ollie is crated when travelling in the car. Initially he can be vocal but soon settles down. At the vets he was submissive and nervous but as his confidence grows, this should improve.

Type of home – Ollie hasn’t been tested around children yet so we feel he would be happy in a home with a few humans around. He adores human company and wouldn’t thrive being left for any length of time. He needs someone who is patient and wiling to spend time with him on training and socialisation as he is so desperate to learn. He would be happy living as an only dog or with another one for company.

Ollie is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with his flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet him in his foster home in Berkshire.

REHOMED Milo – 14 week old Cavalier puppy

milo
milo2
previous arrow
next arrow

Name: Milo

Age:  4 months old

Breed: Cavalier King Charles

Can I live with Children:  Sensible ones

Can I live with cats: Not tested

Can I live with other dogs:  Yes, please

Fostered In:  South Wales

Milo is a 4-month old Cavalier who is being fostered in South Wales. He is a typical puppy with the sweetest nature who loves fuss and snuggles. He is full of curiosity and is very smart.

People – Milo loves everyone and everyone who meets him loves him, so he’s been getting lots of fuss when out and about. He doesn’t like loud bangs or loud noises so everything is new to him and it can be a big scary world out there. He does love being held, sitting on your lap, or snuggling next to you on the sofa with his head on your lap. He’s bursting with love and one look in those gorgeous eyes and people tend to turn to mush when they meet him.

Dogs –  Milo definitely needs to be adopted by a family with at least one other active dog. He is currently living with two older Bichons and absolutely adores snuggling with them and playing with them. He is also learning things from his doggy friends that he may have missed out on as a very young pup. They say the best toy for a dog is another dog and in Milo’s case this is very true.          

Cats – Milo hasn’t been exposed to cats or small furries – so his reaction to them is unknown.       

In the home – Milo is lovely in the house, and although he missed out on early house training is doing very well considering. He’s only had two little wee accidents in the house. He’s currently sleeping on the bed with me and my other dogs and sleeps through the night without a peep. If I have to pop out to the shops, he goes in his large puppy crate in the same room as his other doggy friends. I crate him for a maximum of one hour per day at the moment and make sure that only good things happen in the crate, like treats. He travels well in the car in his crate, happy to curl up and sleep. He loves his toys which are at present as chew-proof as possible and not soft fluffies which I think would only last 5 minutes. He loves food and I feed the dogs separately as although there’s no food aggression in any of them, there is stealing all round. As he’s at an important stage in his development, he needs lots of stimulation and positive learning experiences to prevent boredom.

Out and about – He’s great in the car – travels well in his crate and usually curls up and goes to sleep. He’s great at the vets. Walks are going well – always on lead of course!     

Type of home – Milo will do well in an active home where there are people around most of the time to interact with and another dog or dogs to play with. He is a sweet-natured, smart little man who is incredibly affectionate and deserves a home that has the time to devote to him while he is still learning as a pup, and later on when he’s an adult because he’s going to grow into a fabulous, loyal, loving best friend.

Milo is chipped, vaccinated and up to date with his flea and worming treatment. He is too young to be neutered so this will be a condition of adoption and the responsibility of his adopters. A discount voucher is available and follow up checks will be done. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet him in his foster home in South Wales.

Bambi & Bailey – Perfect forever home found
Bambi & Bailey 1
previous arrow
next arrow

Take a look at this bonded pair of beauties! Bambi, who is a male, brown and white English spot, aged about 9 months old; and Bailey, who is a female, black and white English spot, aged about 6 months.

Bambi is very laid back and just wants a quiet life – he is happy wandering around the garden foraging and eating leaves. Bailey however is a totally different kettle of fish and I quote Foster Mum when she describes her as “much busier, can’t spend too long cuddling up with Bambi as she’s got far too much to do and mischief to plan!” Well, they say opposites attract! The one trait they do have in common is the skill of escapology! Foster Mum has learnt from experience that they can burrow in between patio slabs if they are just wide enough and can get underneath a fence. They apparently can also jump higher than you think!

They love their food and are very good eaters; in fact far too good as no garden plants are safe – they will try and eat absolutely everything. They come running when food bowls are rattled and enjoy their dark green veg – curly kale, broccoli and cabbage are favourite; and are good hay eaters. Both have put on weight and built up some muscle since being fostered with healthy diets and plenty of space to run around.

Bambi and Bailey didn’t have the best start in life. Bambi had been kept on his own in a tiny cage and had awful dermatitis on all four feet from living on chicken wire when he first came in, and Bailey has the battle scars of a tear in her ear from fighting when she’d been kept with others when they were all unneutered. But luckily for them they found some good people along the way to help get them to where they are now – fully bonded and happy together, getting more confident every day. All they need now is their perfect forever home to complete the fairy tale.

Bambi and Bailey are fully vaccinated and neutered. They are healthy and are getting more relaxed by the day in Foster Mum’s company – they are slowly getting used to her stroking them while they are eating, but it will take time and patience to get them fully comfortable with stroking and able to accept handling.

Name: Pablo

Age: 3 years old

Breed: Pug

Can I live with Children: Older

Can I live with cats: Yes

Can I live with other dogs: Yes 

Fostered In: Crewe, Cheshire

Pablo is a waggy tailed bum wiggling type of pug who is just realising what it’s like to be a loved pet rather than just a breeding stud, he is such a comical affectionate little pug. Pablo suffers from dry eye a common condition for the breed so will need drops daily for this

People – Pablo is slightly reserved at first but is soon won over with cuddles and then is such a people dog, he loves to cuddle with you on the sofa and follow you round the house.

Dogs – Pablo is great with all dogs and particularly loves the other flat faces fosters in the home

Cats – Pablo is fine with cats and parrots

In the home – Pablo does get a little upset when you leave him currently so will need a home with people around most of the time and patient owners to teach him a new routine and to allow him to settle into new surroundings, he is housetrained but again being an ex stud dog this may need patience in a new environment. Pablo is just learning what toys are but loves playing with them. Pablo loves snuggling in a comfy bed or with a blanket.

Out and about – Pablo is very good on a lead and harness, he is a typical flat face when being examined by a vet and does get a little stressed but this is being worked on

Type of home – Pablo needs a loving family with experience with pugs or flat faces dogs and ideally another dog for company although Pablo could be an only dog too in the right home. People that are there the majority of the day to give him companionship. A family that will not allow him to become overweight as it will compromise his breathing, and a family that have or are willing to research flat faced breed specific care needs

Pablo is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with his flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet him in his foster home in Crewe.

Paddy is a fabulous boy and is quite the ladies’ man. He has clearly been spoilt rotten by females in his previous life and expects to be the only feline man in your life in his new home. Paddy is around 9 years old and is just adorable. He is fine with dogs but gets jealous of other cats showing his human affection. He needs a home where his new owner is around for most of the day, otherwise he will tell you when you come home how much he missed you. Paddy is the perfect partner and he likes to hear all about your day when you have been apart as he understands that you may have to leave him when you go out to buy his food and treats. He also loves to snuggle on the sofa with you to watch films or read a book he’s very accommodating like that.

Paige

Name: Paige

Age: 6 years old

Breed: Miniature Schnauzer

Can I live with Children: No

Can I live with cats: Not tested

Can I live with other dogs: Yes, a must

Fostered In: South Wales

Beautiful 6-year old Miniature Schnauzer Paige is being fostered in South Wales and as an ex-breeding girl is still fairly traumatised and will need understanding and patient owners.

People – She will tolerate being around people but needs a lot of encouragement before she is happy being touched. She has been bathed her, but again she shuts down as it is too much human contact for her.        

Dogs – Paige is happier around other dogs and will only be rehomed where there is another dog for company. 

Cats – Not tested

In the home – She is clean around the house. She sleeps on a bed in the kitchen with the resident dogs in her foster home and is no problem at all. She has made one attempt to play with a toy. She is desperate to join in with the other dogs but can’t seem to find the courage. This will come in time.

Out and about – Paige is ok in the car when she is held. She will tolerate the vet but isn’t that happy. She hasn’t been out for a walk as will not move once a lead is put on her. She is also terrified of wearing a collar but again, gentle encouragement and time will get her used to it.

Type of home – Paige would be suitable to live with part time workers but they should be home for most of the day to build her trust and work on her socialisation. She must have other dogs to interact with. Her new owners must have a lot of patience as Paige will take some time to settle and trust people again.           

Paige is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in South Wales.

Name: Bramble

Age: 10 years old

Breed: Bichon Frise

Can I live with Children: Yes

Can I live with cats: Not tested

Can I live with other dogs: Yes, a must

Fostered In: RCT South Wales

Bramble is a 10-year old Bichon Frise who is looking for a retirement pad with gentle owners who are home most of the day to keep him company.

People – Bramble loves people and seems to gravitate towards men. He is fine with visiting children and loves fuss and attention from everyone he meets.

Dogs –   Bramble mixes well with other dogs in the home but hasn’t encountered any while on walks. He will only be rehomed where there is another dog for company.

Cats – Not tested but will probably be fine to live with cats.

In the home – Bramble is almost there with the housetraining but will have the occasional accident overnight. He currently sleeps on the human bed with his foster mum so that she can let him out at night if he needs it.  He has been left for a little while and will initially bark but soon settles. He isn’t destructive either. He only has 11 teeth remaining so will need a small bite dry food – wet food gives him an upset tummy.

Out and about – Bramble hasn’t done much exploring yet. He is fine in the car and at the vets but yet to get used to going to walks in the big wide world. He is doing very well walking on the lead in the garden so adopters will need to introduce walks slowly so that he takes them ‘in his stride’.

Type of home – Bramble would be very happy in a retired home. He isn’t high energy and is ready to enjoy his later years. He doesn’t mind children so visiting grandchildren wouldn’t be a problem. He does attach to people so wouldn’t do well in a home where he would be left for more than a couple of hours. He will bark when you leave but soon settles until he hears your care come back anyway! Bramble will be happiest where he has another dog for company.

Bramble is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with his flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet him in his foster home in Rhondda, South Wales

Dixie and Lulu are a 4-year old bonded pair of Chihuahuas who are being rehomed together.  They both enjoy being cuddled and loved. Dixie is a little nervous but not painfully so, she will still bounce around you to get attention and show she wants to be your friend. Like all friends, they do have the occasional squabble when they are vying for attention, but they love to be together. One thing to note health wise is that Dixie has a grade 3 heart murmur and although she shows no clinical symptoms, the vet has prescribed half a vetmedin twice a day for the rest of her life. 

People – Dixie and Lulu are Velcro dogs and love nothing better than to cuddle up to humans, their forever home must be prepared to cuddle them. Dixie can be nervous with strangers but once she know you, loves fuss. They will not cope with small boisterous children so will only be rehomed with sensible over 7s.

Dogs –   Dixie and Lulu are fine to live with other dogs and enjoy meeting other dogs while out on walks.

Cats – Both dogs live with cats in their foster home, despite the cats trying to get them to react to them by strolling past provocatively!

In the home – Dixie and Lulu will toilet in the garden and on walks but as foster mum works part time, they will both use washable training mats if they need to go when nobody is home or the weather is particularly inclement. Dixie and Lulu sleep in the lounge at night with the door shut so they not disturbed by the nocturnal cats. They sleep well all night, with several beds and sofas to choose from but will often snuggle together in the smallest bed they can find. They eat apart at mealtimes as Dixie will finish Lulu’s food and Lulu ends up not eating much otherwise! Although not destructive in the home, Dixie will try to eat small items, therefore, care needs to be taken that she cannot hurt herself by eating bits of plastic or wrappers that may fall to the floor.

Out and about – Dixie and Lulu are wonderful to walk, they are happy in harnesses and on leads and trot along loving the smells and excitement of the outside world. Dixie is a little nervous when meeting new people and dogs, whilst Lulu just can’t wait to say hello to every person she meets.  Dixie and Lulu are very human orientated, they mix with other dogs well but only need each other and loving humans in their forever home, therefore can be homed with or without other dogs. Dixie and Lulu will need a minimum of two 15 minute walks a day to keep them fit and healthy as small dogs are prone to put on weight and become unhealthy and unsocialised if not exercised regularly.

Dixie and Lulu travel in a bed together in the car and are secured with seat belt harnesses. They have travelled up to 2 hours in the car with their foster family and were completely content.

Dixie and Lulu are well behaved at the vets though a little nervous with the sights and sounds so prone to shaking. Foster Mum takes them to the vets in cat carriers to ensure they feel safe and secure

Type of home – Dixie and Lulu can live with a family that works to 5 to 6 hours a day as long as they have each other for company and have had morning feeding, cuddles, play/walk time and have plenty of access to fresh water, toys, toilet mats and a big room to exercise in when left alone. Foster Mum leaves a radio on for company and following a month in foster they have recently graduated from having a large lounge to themselves to being allowed to wander upstairs when foster mum is not home.

 They are neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with their flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet them in their foster home in Rhondda, South Wales

REHOMED Bruno – 9-month old French Bulldog

previous arrow
next arrow

Name: Bruno

Age: 9 months old

Breed: French Bulldog

Can I live with Children: Older

Can I live with cats: A brave one!

Can I live with other dogs: With training, yes

Fostered In: Crewe, Cheshire

Bruno is a 9 month old French Bulldog who is being fostered in Crewe, Cheshire. He is a bundle of energy and will need a flat-faced experienced home where he will get further training and boundaries.

People – He is a very excitable young dog who is sociable with everyone, but would suit a home with older children or adults only

Dogs –   Bruno is very sociable with other dogs – currently he is unneutered so can be over the top with other dogs and will try to hump them so neutering will hopefully stop this but new adopters will need to work with him on introductions to other dogs.

Cats – Bruno is currently living with a cat, he can be over the top with the resident cat which will hopefully settle once he has been neutered

In the home – Bruno is still a baby and so needs basic training and will take time to settle into a new home and learn boundaries. Bruno can be left for short periods and does settle when left but as typical of his breed he doesn’t like being left for long periods. He does not like to be crated.

Out and about –  Bruno travels well in the car and loves interaction with people and other dogs. He enjoys his walks and is a typical excitable puppy.

Type of home – Bruno is looking for a home experienced with flat face breeds and where there is someone home for most of the day and may have another flat faced breed already in residence. Bruno is still a young dog and so needs a family that will work with him to continue his puppy training. Bruno is a typical Frenchie pup, full of fun, boisterous and a real cuddle monster. He is still learning and is into everything so will need guidance and patience from a new family.

Bruno is chipped, vaccinated and up to date with his flea and worming treatment. He will be neutered before he goes to his new home. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet him in Crewe, Cheshire

Update 22/11/2019 – Little Malcolm’s prognosis isn’t a good one so he is going to stay in his foster home for the time that he has left.

Liver function tests have come back showing a problem with the liver. It’s possibly a shunt as 40% aren’t picked up by abdominal scan which will need a referral to a specialist for a CT scan with a view to operate when he’s at least 6-8 months or could be MVD which there’s no fix for and will need to be managed with diet and medication. Malcolm isn’t currently ready for rehoming until we know more about his health issues. We will update as soon as we can.

Downing Street’s new top dog

Friends of Animals Wales is a small animal charity in the Welsh Valleys. Our founder Eileen Jones has
dedicated much of her life to rescuing animals who desperately need a second chance in life. Friends of
Animals Wales is run solely by volunteers and we work around the clock to make a difference to the animals who may not have had a good start in life.
Over the years we have saved many hundreds of puppy farm breeding dogs and puppies; dogs and puppies who are invariably unwell, often with life-limiting conditions. It is heartbreaking and difficult work and sometimes despite our best efforts and those of the dedicated vets we work with, all we can do is give these poor souls a dignified, compassionate death surrounded by love and care.
It takes its toll on us emotionally and of course financially as these are dogs that have rarely been afforded any physical or psychological care in their lives. Our vet bills are astronomical and we constantly struggle to raise the funds to pay them.
The puppy farm breeding dogs have so often been exploited for their pups, puppies that have for decades been bought by the public across England. So, if you’ve bought a pup without seeing the mum, we may just be caring for your own dog’s mother or father right now.
There are also those dogs who are not suitable for adoption but who still deserve the chance to live out their days in a loving environment with the best quality of life possible. Those are our ‘wonky’ dogs and they stay with us at what we call ‘Wonky Towers’ for the rest of their lives.
We knew that Carrie Symonds has always been a huge animal welfare advocate and we are absolutely
overjoyed that this gorgeous pup will be living his best life with Carrie and the Prime Minister at their
Downing Street home. To think our little ’wonky’ pup started his life in a Welsh puppy farm and was destined for an uncertain existence at the hands of a puppy dealer, but is now going to be with people who absolutely adore him is a dream come true. This little man will want for nothing in his life, what could be better than that? And how fantastic to be raising the profile of rescue dogs everywhere in the process!
Friends of Animals Wales has been proud to be part of the Lucy’s Law team alongside Marc Abraham and
C.A.R.I.A.D. – and our relief when Michael Gove confirmed in the gardens of Downing Street, surrounded by our own puppy farm survivors, that Lucy’s Law was to become a reality in England was incredible. We’re still waiting for a date from the Welsh Government for the introduction of this new law but praying for the dogs that it is soon. And of course, we’re keeping everything crossed for the puppy farm dogs in Scotland that the government there will also make the right decision north of the border shortly.
We know only too well why Lucy’s Law is such an important piece of legislation because we pick up the pieces of third-party puppy selling every day. The suffering of these dogs is unimaginable unless you see it
first-hand as we have done for so many sad years.
We would like to thank Carrie and the Prime Minister for opening their hearts and their home to a puppy farm survivor and for inviting Friends of Animals Wales back to Downing Street once again. We wish them a lifetime of happiness with their new best friend.

Friends of Animals Wales is desperately trying to purchase our first property to help facilitate the rescue
and rehabilitation of more animals in need: In particular with the increasing number of ex puppy farm dogs
being surrendered to the rescue as a result of the impending changes to legislation (Lucy’s Law).
We have located suitable premises in South Wales, with land and outbuildings where we can create a haven for all our rescue animals including a specialist rehabilitation area to help puppy farm survivors.
Before we can do this, we need to settle our outstanding vet bills, currently standing at approximately
£36,000 and increasing by the day, averaging £8,000 per month plus specialist referral costs. No animal has ever been turned away by us because they were too expensive to help. Every penny donated by the public will go directly to help the animals.

Our gorgeous little hand rear Peggy is full of mischief and cattitude. This young lady is only 13 weeks old but she already has a massive presence. She is super playful and very confident. She is good with other cats and cat savvy dogs. She loves to run around like a little whirlwind and then collapse on her foster parent for a good power nap. Being a baby she would easily fit into any household after a short period of adjustment. We think she is going to have long fur so her new pawrents are going to have to teach her about the joys of being groomed.

Female

13 weeks old

Peggy has had her first vaccination and is booked for her second Vaxs and microchip on the 03/09/2019

Cat and dog friendly.

Peggy is too young to be spayed so will come with a voucher towards the cost.

Age: 2.5 years old

Breed: Bichon Frise

Can I live with cats: Not tested

Can I live with other dogs: Yes, a must

Fostered In:  RCT South Wales

People – Moo loves people big and small. She wouldn’t like noisy toddlers but is happy with gentle older children and adults who allow her to relax and come for a fuss when she feels comfortable. She is frightened of being bathed and will shake with fear but this is all new to her.

Cats – Not cat tested

In the home – Moo is a quiet girl around the house. Her toilet training is nearly there. She sleeps on a dog bed in the kitchen overnight with no issues. She is not yet playing with toys but does like soft treats. Moo could be left for shorter periods of time with another dog for company.  

Out and about – Moo walks well on a lead but will only need gentle exercise. A short walk and time to potter is good for her. She is fine at the vets.

next arrow

Name: Madge

Age: 3-years old

Breed: Miniature Schnauzer

Can I live with Children:

Can I live with cats:

Can I live with other dogs: 

Fostered In: West Midlands

Madge is a 3-year old Miniature Schnauzer who is being fostered in the West Midlands. As an ex-breeder she is very nervous but her sweet character is shining through. She is looking for a home where she has another kind dog for company.

People – Madge is shy and is still finding her feet. She likes to know where her trusted humans are at all times and can be like a little shadow. She is fine with older children but no small, boisterous ones please.

Dogs –   Madge is fine with the Cavalier in her foster home and once she is used to walking on the lead we expect introductions to other dogs to go without a hitch.  

Cats – Not cat tested

In the home – Madge is well behaved generally, although she does like to rip papers!  Toilet training has come along well with only an occasional accident now. She sleeps on her bed or on a sofa and chooses to sleep downstairs and she hasn’t been crate trained.  She eats well with if a little messy!  I’ve never seen her play with a toy, but they have appeared out of the box a couple of times so I think she will. I’ve left her for up to a couple of hours with no problems.               

Out and about – Madge hasn’t yet been out and about that much as it is early days for her. She travels fine in the car and has been to the vets and coped admirably. Lead walking is all new to her as are regular walks but we are confident that she will get the hang of it all in no time.

Type of home – Madge is looking for a kind and patient home where she can gain in confidence and flourish at her own pace. Her family should be around for a lot of the day, but she may be suitable to live with someone who works part-days. Her adopters will need to be patient with her while she adjusts to living in a home and be able to continue the good work started in her foster home. Lead walking will also be a work in progress. Madge will need to live with another kind dog for company who can help show her what living as a pet is all about.

Madge is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in the West Midlands.
