Some support

From Matthew:
Would you like me to post some of these dogs on my website Sheara ?http://dogwalkeravailable.co.uk/classifieds/dogs-for-rehoming

It's nice to know my posts are being read and spread. Thanks to Matthew and Irena that I know have been sharing :)

It is always a good thing to help homeless animals find a new home, and the more people post and share the animals looking for adoption, the higher their chances to find a loving home...

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.

In a foster home

Woody is a handsome grey gelding who is currently in a foster home and looking to transfer straight to a new home as a non- ridden companion.

Woody is a very sweet natured pony, with a friendly character and always eager to please. He enjoys being groomed and receiving lots of attention. 

Woody has a history of laminitis, so needs a home where his grazing can be restricted and he can have access to grass free turnout when the grass is at its richest. He will need his weight monitoring throughout the year.

Any prospective borrower would have the opportunity to visit the centre and also meet with Woody in his foster home.

Can you offer Woody a home where he can be loved and receive lots of attention.

Non-ridden companions will be rehomed on a monitored and supported loan scheme, Blue Cross will reimburse the annual vaccinations, dental, health check along with providing the first years worming programme which is kindly sponsored by Zoetis Animal Health.

We do the hard work to match you with a suitable horse and ......
 
Blue Cross offers a unique supported loan scheme which is offered to all non ridden companion horses and some riding horses with specific health requirements. 
The scheme offers financial help to borrowers wishing to rehome an equine with ongoing health issues.  For non-ridden companions, the supported loan scheme will cover the costs of an annual veterinary health check and vaccinations, routine dental care and assistance with worm control. 
With some horses we may offer support with the costs off pre-existing medical conditions and farrier costs.

Stray In The Family - Poetry

Here I am a crossbreed
Not pure not pedigree
I don't belong to any breed
I have no papers to approve of me
I walk the streets, no owners to my name
Every day life is the same
I battle and struggle to survive
No one wants to say "that dog is mine"
Then one day someone shoes compassion only to my neck catch and tangle
By some stranger that was told I'm a vandal
They strap me in, in the back of their van
Caged, trapped I wonder my fate
In a world where I've seen so much hate
I'm placed in a strange prison
The noise is deafening
People come by and stare
I have no clue to what crime I've committed to be there
Then one day
Someone stops and stares
Somebody says "I want that one over there"
I jump and I plead "please don't harm me"
I try to be cute to appeal to their compassion within
Somebody gets a key, and they take me away
I hear someone say "here's your new family"
Could it be? Is my fate to change?
Now and here with someone strange?
I go on a journey, my nerves at a peak
At the back of the car I end up being sick
The stranger is patient and cleans it up real quick
He gives me a petting rather than hit me with a stick
We arrive at a mansion though he says his house is small
I pray its the only home I will ever know
Now I'm here
Grey and old
Wagging my tail with my stranger
My last days have come and gone
I'm living now on borrowed time
I jump on the sofa, a bit stiff and sore
I lay my head on my strangers lap once more
I take a sigh of gratitude
As I fade into another altitude
I lived a hard life that is for sure
But my stranger gave me a home
Somewhere I didn't feel alone
In my last moments
Moments of bliss
He was my family even if not part of the family tree
The lights go off in my mind
I'm gone now
But I lived my final days
Not as a pedigree or crossbreed
But as family

Meet one of our male mice here at the centre. Ollie is a sweet boy who needs a new home. Originally from another centre as he had no luck finding a new home there, came into us for help.
Ollie is a young adult, and needs to be rehomed on his own. Mice can make great pets, as they are fast moving, great acrobats who love to climb and hang from their cage. Daily handling is needed so they become accustom to you and allow you to have play time outside the cage. Mice need gentle handling so adult supervision or older children are ideal. Pop in if you can offer Ollie here a new home!
