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 - Little Buddha - Cat - Celia Hammond - East London, Canning Town, E16 4HQ

LITTLE BUDDHA - PRIORITY!

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.

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

	Status: Available Name: Hake Breed: Jack Russell Terrier (JR) Age: 7 Years Gender: Male
	Location: Witham Essex

Direct Link: http://www.manytearsrescue.org/display_mtar_dog.php?id=8811

 
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.

Blue Cross Woody

13 years old, 13hh, Grey, Welsh pony, Gelding

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.

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.

Chico arrived at Battersea as a young puppy, sadly he has spent the some of the most valuable months of his life growing up in kennels. Chico is an intelligent and enthusiastic puppy who has done tremendously well with his training, he is looking for owners who are keen to continue with his obedience and guide him when in the most exciting of situations.

Chico finds enjoyment in most occasions, particularly if there is the opportunity to play with a toy or another dog. He has learnt many commands and is also clicker trained which makes him top of his class for his age.

Chico can be a over enthusiastic when meeting other dogs but could possibly live with a playful female who will be a role model for him.

Chico has a wonderful, affectionate and at times comical character making him fun and completely rewarding to be in company of.

Benson was brought to Battersea as his previous owners had abandoned him, due to this we have no history on this gorgeous boy. Benson has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) please follow link for more details about virus:http://www.icatcare.org/advice-centre/cat-health/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv 

Benson will now need to be kept as an indoor cat but he has obviously lived an active life previously, due to this he will need access to an outside space, e.g. balcony, roof terrace, secure run or similar. Benson is very friendly and affectionate, he loves nothing more than being stroked and groomed, he will be a fun and interactive addition.

Benson is very social with people, due to this he would prefer owners that do not work very long hours so he has some human company and the opportunity for games and stimulation. Benson is a lovely boy with lots to offer. *Any new owner will need to speak to a Battersea vet about FIV prior to taking this lovely lad home*
