Angelo
Name:
Angelo
Breed:
Staffie Cross
Sex:
Male
Age:
3 Years
Angelo was rescued from a toilet in an empty house. All four of his paws have marks from being tied up. The poor dog had been badly mistreated and when found was extremely traumatised. Angelo seems to be recovering well now. Agatha Christie, the famous British mystery writer said, “Dogs are wise. They crawl away into a quiet corner and lick their wounds and do not rejoin the world until they are whole once more.” Angelo seems to be recovering well but he, like many dogs, is petrified of thunder and lightning – and by extension, firecrackers. Dogs have very sensitive hearing and are startled by loud, sudden noises. So how can we help dogs, like Angelo, overcome this fear – or at least reduce it to manageable levels.
1. DON’T pet or reassure the dog. This only increases its anxiety and belief that there really is something to fear.
2. Talk to the dog in a firm, confident tone of voice to show that you are fully in control of events.
3. Close the windows and doors and turn on the TV or radio to mask the sounds.
4. If possible, play games or do some training exercises to distract your dog.
5. In severe case your vet can prescribe anxiety-reducing medication.

Barney & Tipsy
Names:
Barney & Tipsy
Breed:
King Charles Spaniel Cross & Cross Breed
Sex:
Male
Age:
Barney (King Charles Spaniel, male – 7½ years)
Tipsy (Crossbreed, female – 9½ years)
BARNEY AND TIPSY MUST BE REHOMED TOGETHER
Now here are a delightful pair, who although they may be in their senior years, are still lively and alert, yet probably would be quite content to play in your garden and not demand much in the way of outside exercise. With their gentle natures and acceptance of other dogs, Barney and Tipsy would fit in with most families. However these two would also make ideal companions for older folk providing affection and company – and would definitely let you know when visitors arrive. “Pets often fill an empty space in people’s lives. They could fill the void for childless couples. They fill the house again when parents experience the ‘empty nest’. They are companions, loyal and faithful, when someone close has died or gone away.” Doris Zagdanski, When Pets Die It’s Alright to Grieve.

Blackie – Has been adopted
Breed:
Pug cross
Sex:
Male
Age:
3½ Years
Blackie was having a wonderful time at Homeless Animal Day with this young boy who had ‘adopted’ him for the day. Blackie’s sleek coat shone in the sunlight, he walked beautifully on the lead, was easy to manage and loved being loved. What more could one ask for in a family pet? Some wise person once said, “The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.” Certainly Blackie made a friend that day. We hope he will soon find a family who will love and care for him as much.

Braveheart
Name:
Braveheart
Breed:
Irish Terrier Cross
Sex:
Male
Age:
5 Years
BRAVEHEART AND FEDORA SHOULD BE RE-HOMED TOGETHER.
This dog was spotted quietly wandering around when our Inspector was busy with an investigation at a squatter camp. Although he was wary, he’d been badly abused and burnt by burning oil, he was not aggressive and came willingly when our Inspector called him. At the shelter he stood passively while we cleaned him up as best we could. Remarkably whilst he had no hair left around his eyes, his eyes were clear and seem fine. A few weeks later and his coat has definitely improved although he still bears many scars. Braveheart has an independent nature, he probably hasn’t had much affection or any chance to bond with someone. But dogs are wonderfully forgiving and given time, care and affection, Braveheart could prove to be a great friend and companion. Braveheart has recently developed a passion for chelsea buns. He gently puts his paw on your knee to ask for a piece – how can one resist such a request?
Albert Schweitzer’s “Prayer for the Animals” is our tribute to Braveheart. We hope he will find a “heart of compassion, gentle hands and kindly words”.
“Hear our humble prayer, O God
For our friends, the animals
Especially for animals who are suffering
For any that are hunted or lost or
deserted or frightened or hungry.
For all that must be put to death,
We entreat for them all
Thy mercy and pity.
And for those who deal with them
We ask a heart of compassion,
Gentle hands and kindly words”

Bruno
Name:
BRUNO
Breed:
STAFFIE CROSS
Sex:
Male
Age:
2½ YEARS
Bruno is a compact, muscular dog with a short-haired brown coat that requires minimal grooming. At 2 years he has vigour, agility and stamina and will thrive on plenty of exercise to keep him fit and sleek. Bruno would be happy enough in a small garden provided he was taken out regularly – in fact this applies to most dogs. But above all, give Bruno some attention and training and he will become your most loyal and dependable friend. These dogs are noted for their fearlessness but are also extremely people-orientated, gentle and very fond of children. The pictures here show Bruno enjoying the attentions of his “adopter-for-the-day” during Homeless Animal Day in August 2009.

Burton
Name:
BURTON
Breed:
CROSSBREED
Sex:
Male
Age:
2 YEARS
Burton is such a friendly lad, fine with other dogs and affectionate towards humans. The photos were taken on Homeless Animal Day where he and his friend, Oogies, were being walked by their “adoptors-for-the-day”. One can see they were having a great time, as were their human handlers. Burton is a medium-sized dog with a short-haired coat that would shake clean – useful especially as he loves going out to romp and explore. Also a swim in a dam or river would be just heaven! Often people feel they don’t have time to exercise their dogs. But did you know that stroking, walking and playing with a dog have medical benefits? These activities slow your heart beat and reduce blood pressure. So it would be worthwhile finding the time – and far cheaper than a gym subscription.
