Animal Helpline Dog Rescue

Maisy is a 7 year old female Jack Russell terrier Our Maisy has been in our care for over 18 months now. She is looking for a certain kind of home but you may just be the home for Maisy.
Little Maisy has watched many doggie lodgers who have shared her kennel find their forever home whilst she just waits.
Maisy would be great for a smallholding or stables or farm.
Maisie needs to find a true terrier home. 2012 must be Maisies year !!!

UPDATE: Maisie has had a holiday away from the kennels recently with one of our volunteers. This is what he found out about her.

Maisie is generally good on her lead and pulls only slightly. As she is small this is not a problem. Maisie loves to be outside. Being a terrier Maisie also likes to dig. Maisie needsquite a lot of exercise and on walks she will chase stock and game if allowed to. Maisie is fascinated by water of all kinds and loves to dig in puddles.
 Maisie needs to be given clear boundaries so that she does not become confused about the areas she is allowed to be in and what is expected of her from the get go.
Maisie likes to be with you, and is affectionate when calm. She can be touched all over, can be picked up and likes to roll over for a tummy tickle.
Maisie is not aggressive with food when this is in her bowl but can become possessive of treats when they are given outside of it.

 Maisie travels well in the car in her crate. She is crate trained and sleeps in this at night quietly. She can be left for short periods in the house Maisie is house trained and is very clean in her habits.
Maisie needs an understanding and dedicated person who can offer her calm but firm discipline. Maisie could not live with children or small pets but could possibly live with a larger calm, male dog , as she did in her foster home or as a only dog.
Maisey is: Very loyal,Affectionate,excitable,loves walking & being outside
Maisey loves: Walks,cuddles,massage,ears rubbed,sleeping close to you,being with people,games,swimming.
,Maisy does not like things that she is unaware of like boxes

Lottie is a young female Lurcher. Our Lottie came into our care very underweight, her coat was dull and she looked like a rag doll, due to the dedication of her kennel maid Lottie has blossomed, she has gained weight, her coat shines and now you can see how pretty this girl is. Lottie shares her kennel with a large male who she gets along well with, she can sometimes bark at other dogs while on her walk and gets very excited coming out of her kennel for her walks, this has put people of as she pulls on the lead and seems uninterested in her human handler, once in the woods and her initial excitment over Lottie is a different girl, on a long line she trotted along and was easy to handle, she likes to explore and loves her walks so will need regular exercise to keep her happy. She can be a little shy and timid and we guess she has not had the best start in life, she soon warms to you with the aid of some treats and knows how to sit, she is focused on her handler with the aid of treats and would be easy to train with reward based training. Lottie is gentle girl, she enjoys being petted and is friendly with people, she does not jump up and is not over demanding. Because of her urgency first coming out of kennels and as she is a black Lurcher Lottie has had little interest. Do come and visit our Lottie. Lottie can be choosy with her canine chums

OUR LOTTIE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW HOME FOR OVER 6 MONTHS, WE JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY.
COULD YOU BE THE ONE TO OFFER LOTTIE A LOVING NEW HOME.

UPDATE; Last Friday Lottie and I went out for the afternoon to Lynn's. Lottie travelled well in the car and was very calm. We spent some time getting to know each other and Lottie was happy to interact with both Lynn and myself. She is very treat focused and is happy to sit and wait for the treat. She was alert to her surroundings and liked to investigate but was also happy to be in our company. We had a bit of a run about. Lottie had a mad moment and finished off by laying on her back and having a belly rubbing session.

Lottie demonstrated that she is a calmer dog when away from the kennels and that she is keen to learn. She is very responsive. If you remain calm she will. On the other hand if you get excited she will feed off it. I think Lottie would like a calm but active home. No young children as she can sometimes be a bit boisterous and no small animals.
Lottie is still young and deserves someone who will give her love and the attention she is long overdue. I had a great afternoon experiencing some of the real Lottie. I'm sure she had a good time as well. Thank you Lynn for your hospitality and Lottie for being such good company.
