blanche4

Name: Blanche

Age: 5 years old

Breed: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Can I live with Children?:Yes

Can I live with cats?: Not tested

Can I live with other dogs?:  Yes, a must

Fostered In: Gwent

Blanche is a 5-year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is being fostered in Gwent. She has a wagging tail whenever she sees you.

People – Blanche is very people focused and will let you touch her anywhere although she does cower down a little when you bend from standing to stroke her. 

Dogs –  Blanche is just a little scared when she sees large noisy dogs but with reassurance is fine and soon settles around them.

Cats – Not tested with cats

In the home – She has only been left for short periods with three dogs and seems fine when her foster mum returns. Her housetraining is a work in progress. She is not destructive at all and has yet to play with toys. She loves cuddles and watching TV although she does bark when there are animals on the screen. Blanche gets excited when her foster mum makes a cup of tea and she prefers being on your lap than anywhere else. Blanche has the loudest snore!

Out and about – Blanche stops and starts when walking and needs encouragement to move on but once moving is very eager to have a little run. She needs a bit more work on recall but we think it’s just her getting use to her name. 

Type of home – We think any loving home would be suitable however she does love to be cuddled so someone who is home for a lot of the day and has plenty of time to give her the love and attention she craves would be perfect.  Blanche will only be rehomed where there is another dog for company.

Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.

Blanche 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 Gwent, South Wales

REHOMED Lady & Darling – 2-year old Malaysian crossbreeds

Name: Lady and Darling

Age: Around 2 years old

Breed: Malaysian Crossbreed

Children: Teens

Cats: Not tested

Dogs: Yes

Fostered in: RCT, South Wales

Walt Disney has Lady and the Tramp…

Here at FOAW we have Lady and her Darling. A 2-year old pair of Malaysian crossbreeds, who are being fostered in RCT, South Wales. Lady and Darling were both saved from the streets of Malaysia last year and taken into the home of a lady working there, along with a 3rd dog.
Lady had been dumped while in season and was so lucky to have been found before ending up in pup on the streets.
Slowly they all began to adapt to life in a home, but when the 3rd dog disappeared into the hands of the local dog warden and was euthanised, she knew she had to get Lady and her Darling out of Malaysia and back home to the UK.
She heard about FOAW through a friend and contacted us to ask if we could help and of course we agreed.
The process of getting Lady and Darling passported and ready to travel to Wales was started and in October 2018 Lady and Darling boarded a plane to London, they were then picked up and transported to Wales.
They were very afraid and cold in this strange new country, they slowly adapted to their new surroundings and climate. Now after many months they are ready for the next stage of their lives, to find a new home together.
They have a very close bond with each other and after the journey they have had so far travelled they deserve to stay together. They are both confident dogs now but still watching to make sure the other is OK.

Both Lady and Darling are loving affectionate dogs who love a fuss and cuddle with their humans.
They are both active dogs and love running around the garden or going out walking. They can pull on the lead initially but do settle down. Lady could be a good agility dog. They are both friendly with other dogs both at home and out and about.
They love to be around their people and happily potter around with you as you go about your day. They love joining in the group walks with all their friends. They will need a secure garden with 6ft fencing because Lady is very agile and can jump over lower fencing. Lady also got out of a small window when they 1st arrived with us. Darling on the other hand is good at opening doors. Both are happy being left for 2-3 hours but can get bored and get into mischief if left for too long.
They are both fully vaccinated neutered, microchipped and up to date with their flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters are expected to travel to meet them in their foster home in South Wales.

Age: 5 years old

Breed: West Highland Terrier

Can I live with Children?: Yes, older

Can I live with cats?: Yes

Can I live with other dogs?: Yes, a must

Fostered In: Cardiff

UPDATE 4TH FEBRUARY

Sweet and loving little Victoria. I don’t understand why she hasn’t had many applications apart from not looking like a westie because of her hair cut.
She is full of mischief, cheeky.,loving, playful no health issues and a delight to foster.

Victoria is doing really well on her walks. Through the park and all the way around the village today. Not bothered by cars only spooked by people if they are behind her and she’s too busy sniffing about to notice them.
Children doesn’t bother her, she’s one layed back pooch.

Would love a home with another younger dog to play with

_________________________________________________________________

Victoria is a 5-year old West Highland Terrier, who is being fostered in Cardiff. She is a quiet, timid little girl who is slowly getting used to the positive things in a doggy’s life. Victoria has had a rotten start in life but is gaining in confidence every day.

People – Victoria is fine with the adults that live in the house but is a little nervous of new people coming in. She settles after a while. She can be touched but will back off if you touch her for too long. Victoria has met children and is fine with them but we wouldn’t recommend very young ones due to her quiet nature.

Dogs –  Victoria mixes with 1 male and 3 females dogs in foster home. She happily joins them in the garden and runs around with them in the house. Victoria will only be rehomed where there is at least one other dog to keep her company.

Cats – Victoria is happy around cats.

In the home – Victoria seems fine when left with the other dogs. Has been left for about 3 hours. Victoria can be dominant over toys and guards her food which is probably due to her past. We are working on this with her. Victoria is nervous of loud noises and sudden movements but not worried by TV washing machine etc. Her house training is a work in progress. She runs to greet her foster family with a wagging tail and wants to give kisses when we come into the house. She will watch other animals intensely when they are on the TV or lap top. She likes to sit on the sofa and rest her head on your lap and sleep.

Out and about – Victoria has been out on the lead on walks and is coping every well. She is gaining in confidence daily and we are sure that in a few weeks she will be more confident again.

Type of home – Victoria definitely needs another dog. She loves nothing more than a run and play in the garden with a companion. She needs someone who is home part of the day. We think she will love to be out doors a lot when she’s lead trained as she loves to be in the garden and runs around wanting to play. She seems to have a lot of energy. Any children in the home would have to be of an age where they can understand her needs and quiet nature.

Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.

Victoria 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 Cardiff.

Name: Charlotte

Age: 5 years

Breed: Yorkshire terrier

Can I live with Children?: Older gentle children please

Can I live with cats?: Yes

Can I live with other dogs?: Will only be rehomed with another dog

Fostered In: Newport South Wales

Charlotte is a 5-year old Yorkshire Terrier who is being fostered in Newport, South Wales. Her true character is starting to emerge and we think she will become a kind gentle laid back dog just looking for a cosy sofa and an easy life with a family giving her patience, reassurance and understanding.

People – Charlotte is becoming more sociable with her foster family. She makes a lot eye contact with them and watches everything we are doing, but she loves to sleep. She can be nervous of visitors, especially children and will keep her distance from them.

Dogs –She is being fostered with two other dogs and initially would cower when the male approached her when she had food but once she became more settled she began to get better at trusting that he wasn’t going to fight her for it. We think she may be able to live with another calm, laid back dog but no one too boisterous.

Cats – Charlotte is not at all bothered about cats.

In the home – She is fine to be left and is not destructive at all. She seems to enjoy her own company just sleeping her time away but does like to see you come back and wags her little tail when she sees you. She is scared of the vacuum cleaner but is ok with the washing machine. Loud noises do scare her and she will stress sometimes when being picked up.

Out and about – She has only just had her second vaccination so her foster mum has tried a lead a couple of times but she’s very nervous and will freeze. She’s scared of any noises outside and doesn’t know what cars are. We are sure, given time and lots of practice, that she will learn to enjoy walks on lead.

Type of home – A home with at least one other friendly and gentle dog who can teach her how to behave like a dog is a must. A sofa is a must as she loves sitting on the sofa. If you don’t like dogs on furniture then Charlotte isn’t the girl for you. Someone who is home most of the day who is willing to give Charlotte time and patience to help to further build her confidence.

Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to regime a dog with you. Charlotte 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: Angelina

Age: 1 year old

Breed: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Can I live with Children?: Yes

Can I live with cats?: Not tested

Can I live with other dogs?: Yes, a must

Fostered In: Stone, Staffordshire

RESERVED SUBJECT TO HOMECHECK

Angelina will only be considered for a home with at least one resident dog who is neutered.

Angelina is a 1-year old Cavalier King Charles who is being fostered in Stone, Staffordshire. She is a very special young lady who, despite a rotten start in life, is a delight and eager to please. As with all Cavaliers, she is mild mannered and friendly.

People – Angelina loves people of all sizes. She is happy to be touched, stroked and petted and loves play time with adults and kids

Dogs –  Angelina needs a resident dog to help her to learn how to be a pet. She will only be considered for a home with at least one resident dog who is neutered. A young dog would be an ideal playmate.

Cats – Not tested

In the home – Angelina is still learning about being indoors and is very curious has her nose into everything and has a fondness for electrical wires and cushion zips. She can be left for short periods as long as she has the company of other dogs and not for extended periods. Angelina’s housetraining is a work in progress but she is dry overnight. She loves to be on your lap for a cuddle and enjoys running round playing with other dogs. She sleeps through the night on her foster mum’s bed so someone who’s happy to allow this is a must.

Out and about – Angelina has had limited exposure to the outside world but has started walking on a harness. Potential adopters will have to understand that she will need continued training and socialisation, at her own pace, in this area.

Type of home – Angelina needs home with someone around for the most part and a doggy companion she can learn from. With some patience and work Angelina will become a wonderful and loyal companion and family pet. She can happily live with gentle children but has not been tested around cats.

Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.

Angelina 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 Stone, Staffordshire.

Ann – 1-year old King Charles Cavalier cross

ann2

ann1

ann

Name: Ann

Age: 1 year old

Breed: X Breed

Can I live with Children?: Older children

Can I live with cats?: Yes

Can I live with other dogs?: Yes

Fostered In: Crewe

Ann is a one-year old former puppy farm crossbreed who is being fostered in Crewe, Cheshire. She needs basic training and socialising to learn that being a loved pet isn’t scary and is much better than a dark barn.

People –  Ann is a nervy puppy farm dog but loves cuddles and attention. She is sociable although timid at first. Once she trusts you she will jump onto your lap and wag her tail for a fuss. Ann could live with older children who understood that she needed space and time to gain confidence. Children who understood the importance of being calm and quiet around her initially. Ann loves to cuddle up next to you and is never far away from where you are. Her tail is always wagging in the house and she is always pleased to see you. Ann is getting braver every day at coming straight up to people to get a fuss.

Dogs –   Ann is sociable with other dogs but can get jealous at times so will need to learn to share humans and toys etc as she settles. She tries to play with dogs and is getting more sociable at she settles in.

Cats – Ann barked at the resident cat initially but ignores it now and wouldn’t chase it. She also lives with two parrots and shows no prey drive.

In the home – Ann is fine to be left for short periods. She settles happily in her bed and doesn’t bark or cry.  Ann will take socks and toys if left near her but isn’t destructive – she just takes them into her bed.  Ann is learning what it is like to be a pet and how to share so she can sometimes get possessive over toys that she really likes. This is improving as she learns and settles into a routine in her foster home.  Ann is quite fearful in the dark so will bark when in the garden at night if something scares her like a tree creaking, or a letter box rattling in the wind, but overall, she is a very happy dog in the house who will run upstairs and sit on the sofa watching TV with you.

Out and about – This is currently a work in progress. Ann will walk on a lead but the outside world is quite scary so she needs encouragement and to trust the person walking her first. She is very shy currently when outside the house or attempting lead walks which is understandable given her background. Her fosterer is currently building up her confidence on a lead in the house and garden rather than overwhelming her walking elsewhere so this will need to be carried on by any prospective owner

Type of home – Ann needs a home with understanding people that will allow her to continue to build confidence without expecting a bouncy young puppy all the time. It will take Ann time to learn how to be a loved pet and enjoy walks and being outdoors so this will need patience from her new family. Ann needs a family that will work with her to continue house training and lead training. Ann needs a home with no other dogs or other dogs that are calm and non-reactive as Ann may take some time to settle in as she has done in the foster home. She tells dogs off but is quickly learning that gets ignored by the resident dogs.

Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.

Ann 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 Crewe.

kaiya2

kaiya3

Name: Kaiya

Age: 2 years

Breed: Shih Tzu

Can I live with Children?: Yes, sensible ones

Can I live with cats?: No cats

Can I live with other dogs?: Yes quiet dogs

Fostered In: Rhondda, South Wales

Kaiya is a 2-year old Shih Tzu girl who is being fostered in RCT, South Wales. She is a sweet-natured soul who enjoys being with her humans as much as possible

People – Yes she loves to be stroked and loves nothing more than a cuddle on the sofa with her family.

Dogs –  Yes quiet, well mannered ones. We think Kaiya has previously lived in a home where she wasn’t having the attention or socialisation that she needed so can be a bit frightened by over enthusiastic dogs.

Cats – No cats, please.

In the home – Kaiya can be left for short periods but would love her humans to be around as much as possible. She will whimper initially but soon settles.

Out and about – Kaiya likes to go out for adventures and walks well on a lead. She loves going for walks and has been to the local forest exploring a couple of times with her foster brothers. She then likes to return for a well-earned cuddle on the sofa.

Type of home – Kaiya would suit a couple/individual who are home most of the time or someone who works from home. She can live with calm sensible children as well as quiet dogs who aren’t too bouncy but would be more than happy to be an only dog and have all the attention. Someone who enjoys gentle walks and is happy to take Kaiya with them as she loves her lead walks and gets very excited to go out exploring.

Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.

Kaiya 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 Rhondda, South Wales.

REHOMED Morello – 9 week old Cavalier puppy

morello

DUE TO THE MASSIVE RESPONSE NO FURTHER APPLICATIONS ARE BEING ACCEPTED

NB: Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you. We will not accept full time working homes for puppies. If you do work part time the pups must have a resident dog for company please. We will be expecting the puppy to go to socialisation classes and we will be asking you about your plans at interview. If you live in a flat we will be asking about your experience of puppy training and how you will cope without a garden.

Name: Morello

Age: 9 weeks

Breed: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Can I live with Children?: Yes but not toddlers

Can I live with cats?: Yes

Can I live with other dogs?: Yes

Fostered In: Rhondda, South Wales

We call Morello the little Warrior. He is a delightful little chap who loves to play fight with his siblings and won’t back down from larger dogs. As with all young puppies, he has a battery life of around 30 minutes and needs a good hour to re-charge. When not sleeping he plays, eats and gets in to mischief. You will need to make sure you home is puppy proof and you love puppy kisses!

People – Morello loves all of his humans except little toddlers who frighten him. He does not live with young children at present. Morello accepts all visitors without hesitation and is happy to play with and be cuddled by everyone.

Dogs –  Morello currently lives in a foster home full of dogs young and old and he interacts well with them all.

Cats – Morello will be fine to live with cats

In the home – As a young puppy, Morello is not housetrained although he is starting to stick to a pattern. He does not distinguish between soft toys and electric cables so your home will need to be puppy proof. He sleeps in his own space with his brothers and sisters and settles well at night.

Out and about – Morello is still too young to have ventured outdoors.

Type of home – Morello would fit into a wide range of homes. As a pup he would need someone around most of the time to continue his training and socialising. He can live with sensible children but not too young as puppy teeth hurt if he nibbles you. He would like lots of chew toys and things to keep him active as he grows. Somewhere warm and cosy to recharge his battery is a must. He can live with another dog or dogs but he may be too bouncy for old dogs.

Morello is not neutered as he is too young so it is a condition of adoption that he is neutered at 6 months of age. A discount voucher will be provided and follow up checks will be done. He may need a small hernia repaired at the same time. Morello is 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

Katy is not neutered as she is too young so it is a condition of adoption that she is neutered at 6 months of age. A discount voucher will be provided and follow up checks will be done. She may need a small hernia repaired at the same time. Katy is 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 Rhondda, South Wales

REHOMED Peaches – 9 week old Cavalier puppy

Peaches1

peaches

DUE TO THE MASSIVE RESPONSE NO FURTHER APPLICATIONS ARE BEING ACCEPTED

NB: Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you. We will not accept full time working homes for puppies. If you do work part time the pups must have a resident dog for company please. We will be expecting the puppy to go to socialisation classes and we will be asking you about your plans at interview. If you live in a flat we will be asking about your experience of puppy training and how you will cope without a garden.

Name: Peaches

Age: 9 weeks

Breed: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Can I live with Children?: Yes but not toddlers

Can I live with cats?: Yes

Can I live with other dogs?: Yes

Fostered In: Rhondda, South Wales

We call Peaches the little explorer. She is a delightful little lady who loves to play fight with her siblings and won’t back down from larger dogs. As with all young puppies, she has a battery life of around 30 minutes and needs a good hour to re-charge. When not sleeping she plays, eats and gets in to mischief. You will need to make sure you home is puppy proof and you love puppy kisses!

People – Peaches loves all of her humans except little toddlers who frighten her. She does not live with young children at present. Peaches accepts all visitors without hesitation and is happy to play with and be cuddled by everyone.

Dogs –  Peaches currently lives in a foster home full of dogs young and old and she interacts well with them all.

Cats – Peaches will be fine to live with cats

In the home – As a young puppy, Peaches is not housetrained although she is starting to stick to a pattern. She does not distinguish between soft toys and electric cables so your home will need to be puppy proof. She sleeps in her own space with her brothers and sisters and settles well at night.

Out and about – Peaches is still too young to have ventured outdoors.

Type of home – Peaches would fit into a wide range of homes. As a pup she would need someone around most of the time to continue her training and socialising. She can live with sensible children but not too young as puppy teeth hurt if she nibbles you. She would like lots of chew toys and things to keep her active as she grows. Somewhere warm and cosy to recharge her battery is a must. She can live with another dog or dogs but she may be too bouncy for old dogs.

Peaches is not neutered as she is too young so it is a condition of adoption that she is neutered at 6 months of age. A discount voucher will be provided and follow up checks will be done. She may need a small hernia repaired at the same time. Peaches is 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 Rhondda, South Wales

Betty is a 2-year old Border Terrier cross Pug who is being fostered in Worcester. She is a delightful little girl who loves her humans and craves attention. Although she has not had the greatest start in life, she is turning into a wonderful family pet with an evolving personality.

Betty is wary at first but will take treats from adults and children. She’s fine being handled all over. Betty walks very confidently on the lead and harness. She needs a family as she’s still quite young. She’s starting to pay attention to soft toys and balls so children to play with her would be good. Not sure she needs another dog but that would also help her to develop what is a very endearing personality. She should be ready for a new home once she recovers from her op I would say. Definitely a fun dog. it on her terms rather than being chased and pursued. Betty is sociable with all dogs though wary about excitable ones. Betty lives happily with cats.

Betty can be left for reasonable periods as long as she is with another dog. Betty gets very excited when her foster mum returns and does play dance which is also great to see. She prefers to sleep on the sofa and has a loud snore! She loves her food (tails.com) but is fussy about treats.

Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.

Betty 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 Worcester.

Magic, 1-year old Jack Russell Terrier

magic

magic1

magic2

magic3

Name: Magic

Age: c. 1 year old

Breed: Jack Russell

Can I live with Children: Older

Can I live with cats: Yes

Can I live with other dogs: Will only be rehomed with another dog

Fostered: Newport

Lovable Magic is a 1-year old female Jack Russell, who is being fostered in Newport. She is a former puppy farm dog who has made significant progress on the road to rehabilitation after being left for dead until we rescued her. She will need patient owners who will allow her time to build up a bond with them and needs to live with an older female dog to give her reassurance and guidance.

People – Magic is so much better with people than when she first arrived but she is still a very nervous dog. She will occasionally take treats from a stranger but she is very fussy about who she will take them from.

Dogs – Magic adores other dogs and needs at least one to live with for confidence and play. She lives with a variety of dogs in her foster home and is more confident when with them. She looks up to her 3-year old female Shepherd companion who has looked after her and guided her to be a dog. She needs a similar companion for her to feel safe and to continue this.

Cats – Magic is fine with cats and currently has two cats in her foster home who she lives alongside with no issues. Initially, she used to bark at them a lot but she has no aggression towards them and is now just quietly curious about them.

In the home – Magic still feels very nervous in the home and needs time and space for her to find her place. She very rarely will sit with you of her own volition but she’s happy to sit with you and be gently fussed without running away if you pick her up. She will need patient owners who will allow her to have a balance of attention and free will.

Out and about – Magic eventually walks well on a lead, but she is very difficult to catch and will initially try and get away. Using a slightly longer line, she will eventually settle. Magic’s favourite place is to be outside in the open. She’s a hardy terrier and runs around with her doggie friends with no inhibitions. And prospective owners will need to test their ability to recall her in a secure area at first before letting her run free. As she looks up to her Shepherd companion, she has been easy to recall but not necessarily captures. By leaving a long line on her, it makes catching her easier. Magic is always keen to get out and about and sits by the gate to have her harness on. She travels well in the car but has a tendency to bark at anyone walking past with a pushchair.

Type of home – Magic was petrified on arrival in to foster but has made huge strides in her confidence. Having another dog, preferably an older female, is essential to support her rehabilitation. She walks around 4 miles each day and loves to run and play. She is very active and would be most suited to a rural environment or owners who will get her out and about to a rural location daily. New owners must not expect too much from her too soon and she will need time to settle. Her house must be 100% secure otherwise she’s likely to escape because of her initial nervousness.

Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.

Magic is due to be neutered shortly and is chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to the Newport area to meet her.

She is always happy to see you when you come home. Her tail is always wagging and she adores a lap to sit on.

In the home – Marnie can be left for short periods. She can be destructive with cushions and beds when bored. Marnie is not keen on any sudden loud noises or movement. She doesn’t like vacuum cleaner. Housetraining is a work in progress.

Out and about – Her foster mum is trying to lead train her starting with a small trail of string tied to her collar as her lead frightens her so this is a work in progress.

Type of home – Marnie needs  another dog as she is sociable with other dogs. Marnie prefers human company so no full-time workers. Marnie needs lots of patience and attention.

Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.

Marnie 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 Hertfordshire.

Ruby and Flash – Adopted

I’m delighted to introduce Ruby and Flash, an incredibly gorgeous pair of bonded rabbits.

Like rocking horse droppings, bonded pairs of rabbits available for adoption are pretty rare…. And here we are with two pairs in as many weeks – how amazing is that! Let’s share Ruby and Flash’s FOAW story with you….

Ruby and Flash were surrendered to FOAW as victims of the sadly all too familiar reason of being unwanted children’s pets, kept in accommodation half the minimum welfare standard size for a rabbit and on a completely unsuitable diet. When they arrived with us, both had fur mites and mucky ears and Ruby had a weepy eye – all of which were easily sorted by a few visits to our fabulous vets and the love of one of our wonderful Fosterers.

Worryingly, Foster Mum noticed they were drinking far too much water. Back to the vets where blood tests revealed they both had problems with their livers. Lots of investigations and an array of different medications later, our very rabbit savvy vet has decided that actually they are very happy and healthy rabbits who just happen to have abnormal blood results!  They will continue to need to have six monthly blood tests with our vet who knows them best (FOAW will pay for these visits and any treatment that arises related to liver problems) but apart from that, they are simply perfect!

Foster Mum says that Ruby and Flash are two of the loveliest rabbits you could possibly meet. Gone are the timid little things that would only come out of hiding when no one was around.  They are really showing off their personalities now and are pretty much polar opposites!  Ruby is very outgoing, a little bit cheeky and always the first to greet you. Whereas Flash is just super chilled out and will happily hunker down for a good nose rub.  They are so special they are stars of the 2019 FOAW calendar and apparently were the perfect little models.

Ruby and Flash are both fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered and are now looking for their perfect forever home together. So, if you’re looking for a ready made pair of extremely gorgeous rabbits, look no further – just click on the link below and fill in the adoption application form. If you have any questions about their long term care and how FOAW continue to support any animal with known on-going medical conditions, just drop us a line on Facebook or via our website.

carol14

Name: Carol

Age: c. 7 years old

Breed: Bichon

Can I live with Children: Yes

Can I live with cats: Yes

Can I live with other dogs: Yes

Fostered in: Melksham, Wiltshire

Lovable Carol is around 7 old and is being fostered in Melksham. She is a former breeding dog who has made significant progress on the road to rehabilitation. Due to her poor eyesight, Carol is nervous of new people and will bark at them until she knows it is safe. She will need patient owners who will allow her time to build up a bond with them.

People – Carol is so much better with people than when she first arrived but can be a bit nervous with people she doesn’t know. She has a lovely bond with her foster mum and will bond with people when she trusts them.

Dogs – Carol can live by herself or will live with another dog. She currently lives with her foster sister, a tri-pawed collie named Becky and there are no issues with each other. Carol was originally part of a larger group of five dogs and she found this all overwhelming so we would advise against homing her in a home with lots of other dogs.

In the home – Carol is crate trained and happy to go in and out as she uses it for security when she feels anxious. Her crate training means she travels well in the car. She is fine to be left for up to two hours, provided she has doggie company. She enjoys to cwtch up with people she trusts.

Out and about – Carol has had a hard life, being kept indoors to breed puppies. Some of these breeding dogs find the outside fascinating and love to play. However, Carol is not one of them. She doesn’t particularly like walking far and on the whole, is not playful. For this reason, she would be more suited to short walks as opposed to a long trek.

Carol is chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to arrange to travel to Melksham to meet her.

Rehomed – Grace – 5-year old Old English Sheepdog – South Wales

grace

grace1

grace2

Name: Grace

Age: 5 Years

Breed: Old English Sheep Dog

Can I live with Children?: Yes, older dog savvy ones

Can I live with cats?: Not tested

Can I live with other dogs?: Yes, another dog a must

Fostered In: Vale of Glamorgan

Grace is a 5-year old Old English Sheepdog who is being fostered in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales. Grace has a Grade 3/6 left hand side heart murmur, no medication and it does not slow her down at all.
People – Grace adores being touched, she would be happy to be constantly stroked and brushed for ever. She sometimes jumps and attempts to snap if trying to untangle a knotted bit of fur but a kiss and a cuddle and she is soon back to being laid back and loving. We were told that Grace did not like men but she is great the men in her foster home. She does bark whenever anyone comes into the room. Everyone ignores her barking, tells her to shut up and treats her like they do the other dogs and she soon settles. possibly needs more socialisation and reassuring. She seems to need reassuring more around adults that are not dog savvy. Grace is fine with dog savvy children and will live happily with children who understand a dog’s needs.

Dogs –  Yes, fine with other dogs and no issues so far with others she meets.

Cats – Not tested with cats

In the home – Grace is only left alone for short periods but with other dogs she trusts. Even if not alone, she will bark at any movement or sound so for the sake of happy neighbours, best not to leave her alone for too long. She loves being brushed and groomed which is just as well as she has to endure it for at least an hour every day. Whilst two of the resident dogs always go upstairs to sleep, Grace has never attempted the stairs.

Out and about – Grace is very good on the lead and does not pull. She does not walk to heel but is comfortable to walk on lead. She loves going for a run in the field off lead. She is good off lead, always staying close and comes when called and always waits at the gate to have her lead put on.

Type of home – A home with experienced owners of large breed dogs and a home that has already has a large breed, friendly dog is what we are looking for for Grace. Her new owners will have to be patient, kind and willing to let Grace settle in her own time. A big garden and access to lots of open spaces and owners who want to cuddle and groom her a lot.

Grace 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 Vale of Glamorgan.
