So happy to see Robbie out in a foster home. Be a good boy Robbie, and I’m sure someone will snap you up .

Robbie! Have a lovely break from the kennels with Maggie and Paul. :)) Xxx

ROBBIE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! Ok.... don't get too excited - he has only gone out on foster but this is to assess all aspects of his behaviour which seem to have improved massively since his return at the beginning of the year when he pulled his owner over when a dog off the lead ran by him.

He has gone with my dear friends Maggie and Paul who are looking after Roman. Robbie had a play in the sand run with Roman and even gave kisses to Roman through his muzzle once they were both in the back of the car. In the sand run, they both chased after a toy and played really well. Let's hope he finds his forever home soon and I will keep you posted with updates.

Happy birthday to the most handsome, loving Robbie. Why he has not yet got his own sofa is a mystery. He has improved so much on being calm on his walks and likes nothing better than a good cuddle when he gets back to the kennels. Everything crossed that his forever sofa is just around the corner. Xx

Big birthday wishes to the gorgeous Robbie. Hope you’ve had a great day, despite the weather!

Everyone that knows and works with this beauty is at a loss to understand why he is still waiting for his forever home. Ok, he needs that little bit of extra help, but he would return that tenfold with his love and loyalty.

Gorgeous gorgeous Robbie....... why have you not been offered your forever home yet?
He is loving, clever, clean and handsome.
What does he need? A quiet home with no children and a confident handler as he can sometimes get excited and has in the past pulled his owner over.
I can open his kennel door and he will run to the outdoor pen for feeding and then will take himself back when we are ready.
He retired with a broken leg but it has fully healed and he loves nothing more than to have a 'blast' in our sand run.
He does the 'paw for more' when fussing him. He is truly gorgeous and he gets my virtual cuddle as well as a real one today.

A big cuddle for our Robbie today. Happy 5th Birthday! Oh how I wish he could find his special home. He is a fabulous boy, who just needs someone who is willing to help him with his socialisation skills. As Shanesmum says, he is very clever and loves to play games. He is fun, happy and very affectionate. Lots of love to you Robbie, have a lovely day. Xxx xxx

I will confess that Mr Robbie breaks my heart. He has been with us for so long, and all he wants is a home of his own where he can play games and chill. Yes, he is not the best with other breeds, but he is such a clever boy that with ongoing training this can be worked on ( I speak from experience as Minnie was terribly reactive and very challenging to walk, but is learning fast and improving weekly).

They are just so worth the time and patience to help them into the world outside of racing. Xxx

What a good boy, Robbie! :)) Xxx

Took Robbie out for a walk to Brueton Park yesterday and he had a lovely time. He travelled well in the car and easily settled. The park was quiet so we didn't come across too many dogs or people on our walk but Robbie was extremely well behaved. When it started to rain we sought refuge in the park cafe and were joined by 5 other dogs. Although interested, he didn't bark and was quite happy to sit and watch what they were doing. When the rain stopped we went back to the car and he walked on a loose lead next to a Collie whilst we chatted to the owner. He was a pleasure to take out and we look forward to taking him out again soon xx

Once again, at present Robbie is our only boy left at the kennels who is still waiting for his forever home. :(
He is a super friendly lad who needs someone willing to work with him and help him learn how to enjoy going out and about without getting too excited. He is a fast learner and with the right family will be a lovely boy to have around. Xxx

Big cuddle to you little Robbie. Hope you're doing OK. You've had kennel life for a long while now. Keep everything crossed for you to have your own home one day, you deserve some home comfort lazy snoozing and & love xx just so sorry we aren't able to take you in.
Cuddle for you today sweetheart x

Really great to read an update on how Robbie is and how he is doing xx wishing him well for his training and for his forever home and family xx
Keep up the good work Robbie (& erik!) x

Robbie has had a slow start with the enrichment program as he was not allowed to be of the lead or do basic training. I have worked with him on doing short snuffle walks, and working on “this way” and “stop” instructions. We also worked on the “touch” game which he does well and he is learning the scavenging game.

Since we had the all-clear from the vet I managed to do some walks in the local park to expose him to different breeds. With me, he is now very interested but less reactive. I have started “sit”, “down” and “stand” and he is making good progress. His mood has improved. Robbie is funny, he may decide to work or he may not. He likes treats but it is not his main motivator.

Robbie is a lovely boy he will swing between excitable and calm, he clearly has his own mind.

Robbie is a handsome boy. I think he will need somebody firm but kind. He responds well when getting leaded up or having his lead taken of. He walks really well, though I think he prefers short walks. Big cuddles for him tonight. Xxx

Why is Robbie still there? :(

Robbie gives the best kisses! He is such a lovely boy who will spend a long time having his ears rubbed. See you for more kisses soon gorgeous. Xx

When Declan and I got Robbie out for a bedtime wee this evenig he came out wearing his checked fleece like a kilt! He did look very cute! He went back in better fitting attire and as usual was very grateful and enthusiastic to receive a couple of biscuits after playing the touch game. He is a very clever boy. :) Xxx

Norman took Robbie to the park yesterday. He really enjoyed having a break and a change of scene from the kennels. He is a very friendly lad who has a great enthusiasm for life! :))) Xxx

Robbie is a really sweet playful boy. He’s always happy to see us and on the few occasions that I’ve walked him, he has been golden. Whoever gives him a forever home will be very lucky to have him :)

The gorgeous Robbie just sits and waits patiently in his kennel hoping to be picked. He is one of our longest stayers.....
When he went out on foster over Christmas, he was absolutely perfect with his behaviour - totally clean, great with children, quiet and can be left.

I just don't get why he is continually overlooked. It is heartbreaking.

He does get excited with other dogs that are off lead (as most dogs do) but with some socialisation training, you would not get a more perfect dog.....

Oh no Robbie so sorry to hear this and hope you're owner is OK and makes a speedy recovery xxx

Unfortunately Robbie is back with us..... a small dog that was off the lead ran up to Robbie whilst he was on his walk and pulled his owner over. She has fractured wrist and is out of action for a good while. Ruth using Kate's login!!!
If there is anyone in the Wilnecote area of Tamworth who would be willing to help out with walking, this would mean he could stay at home. If you think you can help please call us as he is very sad to be back. He has been perfect in his new home which he had waiting so long for so we are desperate for help for him and his owner.

Robbie curled up next to me on the sofa for the first time today, I feel so lucky to have been able to offer him his forever home.

Hi Snoopy, great to hear how Robbie is doing and how much you love him:)) He is a lucky boy!! Do hope he will start to calm down when other dogs are around. Xxx

Robbie has been with me for 3 weeks now and I am amazed at how well he has settled in. He haas had no toileting issues, and loves nothing more than curling up on HIS chair. I absolutely adore him. I am working on his tendency to jump like a loon if we get to close to another dog.

Short video on Robbie enjoying his newly donated toy from myself and my partner just before Christmas.

Hope your enjoying your new home buddy!!

Wishing our gorgeous Robbie a very happy new life! Be a good boy. :)) Xxx

Yay, good luck Robbie! Xxx

Oh Robbie, this is fabulous news, over the moon for you poppet xxxxxx

SCREAM!!!! Robbie has left the building! He has finally been chosen to start his retirement. Good luck Robbie... we will miss you x

Love all the photos of Robbie enjoying his Christmas in his Foster home. Xxx We had such a lot of positive feed back from his foster family, thank you so much for making him so welcome in your home. :) Xxx

The lovely Robbie is back with us after his Christmas foster. Thanks so much for giving him a taste of home life. He was a really good boy :))

Well Robbie you look very much at home! Happy Christmas! Xxx

Robbie I hope you enjoy your few days out in a home. You are such a lively, lovely fella who just needs that chance to learn about the outside world and all that it contains. Xxx

Unfortunately the family with their playful whippet Stanley who came to hopefully foster Robbie, went away without him. Stanley told Robbie off and poor Robbie just stood there looking very upset and then actually headed back to his own kennel and got on his bed!

I moved onwards to the second offer of a foster home for him and I have just 'delivered' the gorgeous Robbie to his foster home to stay for a few days over Christmas.

He settled down straight away after having a wee in the garden and then lay with his toys on his bed and promptly fell asleep! (I have added a few photos of him in his foster home. If you are interested in offering this lovely boy a home, please get in touch! x

Robbie had his vaccination booster today. He was such a good boy at the vets. :)) Robbie is a really lovely lad, very happy. Do hope he won't have to wait too much longer for his special home to come along. Xxx

Robbie is such a handsome boy. Certainly loves all the attention he can get. Kisses for him xxx

Robbie donated to the Pet Blood Bank yeseray. He was a perfect donor and the staff all loved him! :) Xxx

What a happy young man Robbie is....he has made a brilliant recovery after breaking his leg. It won't hold him back when he goes off to his forever home. He loves being out and going for walks. He is ready and waiting for his special someone to come along. Xxx

Robbie is a very happy boy who can sometimes get a little over excited! He is very affectionate and loves any attention that comes his way. Xxx

A big cuddle for Robbie after his neutering op today. Such a handsome lad. :) Xxx

Aw Robbie. Good luck with your recovery super boy. Xxxxx

I took Robbie to the vets today for his neutering. I have just picked him up from the vets and they all thought he was absolutely gorgeous!

A big cuddle for Robbie tonight. He was very happy to meet everyone when he arrived today. :))
His leg does look amazing...! Xxx

I met Robbie at his racing kennels last month! He is a happy chap, amd you wouldn't know looking at him that he had broken his leg.

Good luck Robbie x
