Pet Pick Of The Weekend - Jake - Male - Dog - Battersea - London, SW8 4AA

weimeraner, male, large, liver, short hair, 11 years old

Direct Link:http://www.battersea.org.uk/dogs/jake_200585.html

Name: Jake
Age: 11 years young
Breed: Weimaraner
Sex: Male
Size: Large
Centre: Battersea London
Home tested: No
Child suitability: 13+
Live with dogs: No
Ideal location: Any
Live with cats: Not tested
Reference: 200585

Lovely old Jake is a sweet, affectionate and loyal boy, who will make the best of companions. And don't be fooled by his age, he's still got plenty of life him yet.
He is currently on foster as he found kennel life difficult being apart from his people. He settled in almost immediately into his new home environment where he is enjoying lots of fuss, long walks and naps. He travels well in the car and spends his days relaxing in the Battersea offices where he is a firm favourite. 
Jake loves a ramble in the park and being the gentleman that he is, he will happily greet dogs with a tip of the cap and a little sniff and then be on his way. He is also partial to a tennis ball or two.
He can be a little worried in new situations so he will need understanding owners who will ease him into things. He'd also love owners who can be around with him most of the time as he doesn't like being home alone much.
Jake is such a character and his new owners will be lucky to have him.

Pet Pick Of The Day - Michelle - Female - Dog - DogTrust - Uxbridge, UB9 6JW

This dog is so cute looking, adorable to say the least...
Wish I could home it but sadly no pets allowed where I'm renting :'(

MICHELLE / Setter: English / Female / 1 to 2 Years / Rehoming Centre: London (Harefield)

Picture of MICHELLE - Image 1

Direct Link: http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dog/1087624/michelle

Likes and dislikes:
Michelle is a special dog that needs a special home. Michelle is a sensitive girl that can take a while getting to know you, so she is looking for patient owners that have plenty of time on their hands. She can be very scared of people that she doesn't know, which can make her react badly to them, so new owners will need to work with her and her confidence to help her become more settled with strangers. She has come along but needs further socialisation that she can only get in the home. She is looking for a committed forever home to help her complete her confidence and teach her the world is not scary. She is an active girl looking for an active family that already has another dog, as this helps her with her confidence and will hopefully help her to settle. She is looking to live in a rural or semi-rural place as she needs to be away from the hustle and bustle of city/town life. With time and patience Michelle will make a great addition to the family that are prepared for hardwork.

Type of home needed:
Michelle is looking for a home with another confident young dog already present, as this will help her settle in. Limited leaving hours as she needs all training, including housetraining, and needs to bond with her owners.

Pet Pick Of The Day - Little Buddha - Cat - Celia Hammond - East London, Canning Town, E16 4HQ

LITTLE BUDDHA - PRIORITY!

Little Buddha

Little Buddha arrived with his feral mum when he was really tiny. His mum, Lotus, was untouchable until recently but Little Buddha has always been interested in the world around him and loves people, other cats, dogs and a good stretch. 

As little Bhudda grew and made new friends the bond between him and Lotus became less strong. Lotus started to develop her own relationship with her human feeders and Little Buddha would be quite happy being homed without his mum and visa versa. 

Buddha is still a kitten and he wants to do kitten things so he really wants a home where he can play and have fun. He is an adorable little boy and would put sunshine into anyone's heart and home.


Photo's kindly taken by volunteer Kirsten Priebe http://www.arcreation.org/celia-hammond-animal-trust-photographs.html

Pick Of The Day - Hake - Dog - manytearsrescue - Witham Essex ( SPECIAL NEEDS)

HakeStatus: Available
Name: Hake

Breed: Jack Russell Terrier (JR)

Age: 7 Years

Gender: Male
Location: Witham Essex
 
08-09-13 Hake is a 7 year old Jack Russell ex stud dog. The farm he came from no longer required him. He has been in the wars at some point and has only half a bottom jaw.  He seems to manage fine with this but it looks a little strange from underneath. He loves cuddles and has really enjoyed all the attention he has been given. He walks a little on a lead but will probably need a little help to learn about house training and a little time to get used to living in a home.  In the circumstances we would consider homing him as an only dog although he is good with the bitch he shares his kennel with and we would be happy to home him with others.
05-10-13 UPDATE
 
Hake has been in a foster home for two weeks now and the change in him is amazing. He has never lived in a house before but is now completely clean, but I am still reminding him to go out. He was not keen on going for walks in the beginning but now he loves them. He is a tiny bit stiff so he would not be suited to lots of long walks but a plod round the park or even the block would suit him fine. He has come face to face with quite a few cats whilst out walking and totally ignores them. He is brilliant with all dogs he meets both at home and when out walking. He sleeps like a log in his bed all night and does not bark much and never whines.He is not that good at travelling probably because he has never travelled before.
Hake is good with children but his ideal home would be someone who is as lonely as he is and he will snuggle into you on the settee and so be your best friend. He is a very happy fellow and is always wagging his tail and just loves a fuss. The fact that he is missing a part of his bottom jaw is hardly noticeable and does not bother him in the slightest. The only time you get a reaction from him is when he hears a squeak so tiny animals such as rats, mice,guinea pigs etc are a definite no. This boy has had a hard life and he truly is an adorable little cuddle monster that deserves his very own person.
PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home dogs who have come from breeders where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company. They usually get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience. If the ex breeding dog you are interested in can be an only dog it will say so in its write up. Please read our information onADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
ADOPTION DETAILS - HAKE IS BY DONATION
 
Although Hake is by donation rather than the full adoption fee, please make your donation a reasonable one in line with the costs that have been incurred. All our dogs are micro-chipped, have had at least their first inoculation and are spayed/neutered unless there is a medical reason for not doing so. If your application is successful you will be home checked and you, all members of your family and any dog(s) who will be living with the dog MUST come to meet the dog you want to adopt.
Please read our ADOPTION PROCEDURES before applying
and then complete the
ADOPTION FORM.
