Animal Helpline Dog Rescue

Slate is a female Staffordshire Bull terrier. Slate is a dinky Staffie with all the wonderful attributes of her breed. She is just a wonderful girl. When Slate first came into our care she would hide at the back of her kennel, trying her hardest to hide in her blanket and appear invisible, her sad look just made you want to pick her up and tell her all was going to be alright. Since these first few scary days for Slate she has come a long way, now when you appear at her kennel door she trots forward eager to come on a walk with you, she appears to know some commands and sits for her lead to be attached.
Once on her walk this wonderful girl just wants cuddles and if tummy tickles are on offer all the better, her tail never stops. She seems quite calm and although she pulls on her lead due to her size it is not a issue. Slate loves a treat and would do well at reward based training, she gets on well with her kennel mate and the pair of them are often cuddled up in their bed together. She has got on with all the other dogs she has met while at the rescue. This girl is really pretty and her pictures do her no justice.

Update: From our volunteers

We had a new volunteer walker who is a staffie fan so we brought out the beautiful Slate..she spent some time with us and must say she is just so loving and was happy to sit on everyones lap for a cuddle and never had so many kisses Off she went for a walk and then sat with us again until time to return to her kennel mate. She is a very poplular girl and just about perfick in everyway.

Slate had a weekend stay over over with one of our volunteers.

I never knew that such a small dog could offer so much personality and love. When she's out walking she doesn't mind other dogs and socialises well, she pulls slightly on the lead but not enough to choke herself or to pull your arm hard. When she's at home she loves cuddles and enjoys being made a fuss of, whilst being incredibly generous with her kisses (Staffy kisses are the best!). If you want to relax she'll happily sit with you and watch the telly and eventually fall asleep. Anyone looking for a dog should really consider Slate as she's beautiful, has bags of character and a really placid demeanour. Staffy's get a really bad press which is incredibly unjust, spend time with this one and she is the ultimate ambassador for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier breed - loving, cuddly and a little bit nuts!

Update: From our volunteers

Blitz has 2 friends Alfie SBT an Ollie Spaniel, she was so pleased they came a second time to walk with her ....she loves nothing more than to rub against Alfie giving him kisses......she knows some commands and when i tell Alfie to sit to put his lead back on Blitz sits on command as well she is such a lovely little girl who just loves life.

This sweetie shares her kennel with another dog and they are often found snuggling up together and giving each other lots of kisses.
Great puppy who loves her walks and enjoys her food. Blitz learns very quickly and nothing phases this little pupster , an absolute delight who would bring joy and laughter to a new family.
Blitz has been in the rescue for a few months now, yesterday we popped her on a harness and walked her separately to her kennel mate and WOW!!

Within 20mins with a short lead, harness, treats and clicker she was quick to understand. Sit was easy and her focus improved during the walk.
This little one is a bundle of fun, she loves to interact and is happy with life.
She requires someone who will put the time & energy into showing her 'What to do' and make her a great little dog. Time, patience a perseverance is what Blitz needs
If you pop along to meet Blitz - pop on a harness and make sure you give her time and you will see what a lovable poppet she is.
