Dogs for Adoption

Jade

SOS for JADE, an angel in disguise as an 11 yr old labrador/pointer cross. Adorable Jade has apparently fallen foul of the crime of being ‘too old’ and thus abandoned to the refuge, where facilities are very basic and will really take their toll on her over winter. This cuddly girl is still choc-full of life and fun, adores people and her toys, especially the one in the photo that she takes to bed with her. A benevole who knew her while still with her family says that she is good with children, other dogs and cats. As it says in her original post on Facebook, ‘C’est une crème’! Does anyone have a warm corner going spare? Contact details below.

Jade is eligible for financial aid for vet fees through Fondation 30 Millions a’Amis.

Jaz

Home required for our stunning German Pointer bitch. She is sterilized, innoculated and microchipped

Unfortunately, here she is one of seven dogs and is dominant with the other bitches. She gets on absolutely fine with the male dogs.

Jaz is very loving and affectionate to her owners and sticks to you like glue. She is used to horses and her recall is not at all bad. She would adore to be the only dog or to live with a male

She is approximately two years old, she is house-trained, and can be left for a couple of hours quite happily

If you would like to adopt Jaz she is in Dept 87 in Bellac. Please contact Gail Povey 0n tél: 07 69 01 50 92

Simba

Meet Simba, a 19 month old Jack Russell cross with beautifully coloured fur that looks and feels like velvet. This adorable little lad is currently discovering all the joys of normal life after spending his early days at the end of a tether. With his limited experience he does of course have a lot to learn, but already he is enjoying walks, loves to play and is as energetic and full of fun as you would expect for his age and breed type. I’m sure that he will soon adjust to life in a home and prove to be a loveable, fun companion!

Masie & Gus

These two lovely dogs urgently need to find new homes. Their owner is very unwell and unable to take them back to the UK with her as she is going to live with her sister and brother in a small terraced house with no garden.

Maisie (black) is around 7 years old and is medium size. She is chipped but not sterilised and her vaccinations are not up to date. She is very well mannered and clean in the house. She has never encountered children and is not keen on cats. Maisie has not had a lot of exercise but this could be due to her owners health problems restricting this. She would probably benefit from a more active lifestyle. She has been with the current owner since she was 8 weeks old.

Gus (brown) is a 10 year old medium size Labrador x. He’s been neutered and chipped but his vaccinations are not up to date due to his owners health problems. He is very well mannered and clean in the house, but has never encountered children. He is not keen on cats or thunder, but very laid back about life otherwise. Gus is not an overly active dog, but again this could be due to her owners health problems restricting this. He has been with the her since he was one year old.

The owner doesn’t have the microchip details but has said that the vet in Bellac has this on file.

Both dogs can be quite vocal when people first arrive at the house, but they soon settle down and become very gentle.

Their owner has accepted an offer for the sale of her property so it has become urgent to find homes. It would be lovely if they could be rehomed together, but it is more imperative that they find new homes regardless.

If you are able to help please contact Gill SIMS on email:

Tokyo

Tokyo Tonka Truck. This is her serious face when she first arrived and was worried; she does smile and is a very happy girl. Tokyo is nearly 2 years old and a real sweetheart with a lovely nature. When out of the box she romps about with her kennel buddy and loves to play. Tokyo needs a little more practice on the lead because she is a strong muscular girl with low body gravity and has no idea that there is a mere mortal on the other end of the lead. We are more a minor irritation that is slowing her down, but she will learn. We can cat test if necessary. Tokyo is very young and deserves better than growing up in a refuge, she would be a wonderful pal and you would soon have magnificent muscle definition.

Youri

Here we have the leggy bundle of scrumptiousness that is Youri, a handsome griffon cross of 4-5 years old who was found wandering.

Youri was terrified of humans, so at first no-one could approach him as he would simply run away and hide. With patience, and of course some tempting tasty treats, he has gradually learned to trust again. Youri is still a very timid lad but he has made good progress, greatly helped by sharing his box with a confident female dog. Today he goes for walks, lets himself get closer and closer and even wags his tail with enthusiasm at the sight of his harness. Like the vast majority of abandoned chasse-type dogs, Youri is a tender soul and very endearing to those he knows and trusts.

Any potential adopter will need to put in plenty of time and effort to win Youri’s trust, and I think he is very likely to need one or more doggy companions in any future home to help him feel safe and to show him the ropes. Those who have adopted a ‘chasse’ dog like Youri (including myself) know that they usually adapt to a home with ease, appreciating the warmth, love and comfort as only such often abused dogs can. Youri is vaccinated, micro-chipped and castrated.

If you feel you have what it takes to help Youri enjoy a wonderful new life, come to meet him, or call/email for further info at:

Fred

Handsome Fred is 14 months young and small light build, 22kg.

He’s chipped, vaccinated, and castrated. Fred is a sweet boy who gets on with everyone and neither over the top nor overly afraid. He is stand-offish at first, before he gets to know someone, just needs a bit of time. He’s been clean in the house since early on when I toilet trained him from being a puppy. He gets on fine with other dogs he meets; he’s happy to follow rather than lead and quite submissive. He loves playing games of fetch. He is a people pleaser and happy to snuggle with other people or dogs he knows. We have different people coming round and he is standoffish at first but after 5-10 mins he is delighted to have a fuss from everyone on his terms. He’s very food motivated.

Vets best guess is a lab cross malinois. He’s pretty chilled out. He does like to chew his buffalo horns, pigs ears, kongs, olive wood chews, etc. The only time he goes on a mad run is out in the garden; in the home he’s usually sleeping. Only rehoming due to personal circumstances.

If you would like to give Fred a home please contact Matt Tricot:

Hairy

Hairy is a male Miniature Poodle x, about 12 years old (actual age unknown).

Despite his diminutive size, Hairy likes to think he’s the boss. He is used to living with a dog and cats, but his relationship with them is not always easy. He is fine with female dogs but not at all good with male dogs. He will tolerate the presence of cats but has a tendency to mark his territory as a consequence. He is used to living inside but dislikes feeling confined, often preferring to be
outside. He loves walks but reacts aggressively to encounters with other dogs, so needs to be walked on a leash. He guards his food and is jealous of the other furry and human members of the household. He has periods of separation anxiety. He does not like being groomed.

Hairy has an old leg injury that sometimes causes him pain and he is on medication for a heart murmur.

Electronic identification 250268743854122 / vaccinations up-to-date / neutered. Reason for adoption : Owner moving back to a rental property in the UK that is unable to accommodate dogs.

Contact Clare: via email or phone 0604015834 / 0553 571774.

Izzy is a 10/11 year old French Spaniel. She was delighted to get out of the pound, have her haircut and experience the comfort and freedom of home living. She has blossomed in her foster home.

Don’t be deceived by Izzy’s age as she is not ready for retirement yet! She’s an active, strong dog who has a zest for life, loves being with people and gets on with the dogs she has met. Izzy sleeps in her bed all night, is housetrained, plays ball and loves to go out in the car.

She needs a permanent home now where she can have fun, exercise, settle down and grow old.

Please get in touch through the website www.Assoenroute.com or email  if you’re interested in fostering Izzy.

Following the death of his French lady owner, Edy finds himself without a home. He’s an 11 year old German Short-Haired Pointer, clean and well-socialised. He is a friendly dog and used to living indoors. He has not been sterilised.

He’s currently in the Confolens area. Fingers crossed for this handsome lad.

If you would like to offer Edy a retirement home for his golden years, please call Valeria (French) on 07 82 85 47 40.
