Zac
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Oh Zac, how sad I am to read this news. Angie & I are also desperately sad that, at this moment in time, we are not in a position to be able to have you here with us after such an upheaval in your life. However, you are a very beautiful boy and with everything you have going for you - cat friendly, other breed friendly - fingers crossed it shouldn't take too long to find you a lovely new home. I am so sad for you. xxxx

Ellie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Lovely Ellie came to Pets at Home, Stratford, today with sweet Boo. She was perfectly behaved as usual. Her ears stood to attention with curiosity at the various assortment of dogs passing by, but with no aggression whatsoever. She is such a relaxed, friendly, affectionate girl I'm surprised she hasn't been snapped up yet. Hopefully a 'forever home' for you soon Ellie and thank you for being with us today. X

Boo
I’m Homed
Boo returned with us to Pets at Home Stratford today and was definitely more confident than last week. Although still quite shy she relaxed into the day, indifferent to other breeds and small dogs, and happily took a treat from my hand, for which I felt very honoured. I can't say enough to praise this sweet girl. I am sure that when she is in a loving home environment some lucky person/people will have the pleasure of seeing her blossom. Thank you again Boo.

Pip is coming home to meet Nell (previously called Molly) who he has shared a home with twice already. We thought that they are meant to be together - third time lucky! We are sure that he will be welcomed also by Millie, Davey and Flynn. We will keep you informed of their progress. Terry and Paul.

Pip
I’m Homed
In the house Pip is extremely affectionate and he loves nothing more than spending time with people. Cuddles and fuss are his two most favourite things. Out on walks he does get excited and vocal when he sees other breeds of dog. This goes for any breed that doesn't look like a sighthound and the smaller the dog, the more excited he gets. This not aggressive at all, Pip just doesn't understand how to react to these other dogs. I found that calling his name and offering him squeezey cheese (I used Primula) through his muzzle worked excellently as a distraction. He began to associate seeing other dogs with getting cheese and over the couple of weeks that we had him there was a noticeable improvement in his behaviour. (The goal was to turn seeing other breeds of dog into a positive thing when out walking - Pip no longer saw them as something that needed to be barked at, instead they were things that got him food.) He lived with a female Golden Retriever and he never reacted adversely to her, so this behaviour is only something that occurs when out and about. If there are no other breeds of dog around Pip walks excellently on the lead and doesn't pull. Overall Pip is a fantastic and exceptionally loving little chap. In the house he is just such a superstar and a real joy to have around. During his last few days with us he started to play with some toys; his favourite was the tennis ball and he liked catching it if you rolled it across the floor for him. If you are considering homing a dog then please do not be put off by Pip's vocal attitude towards other breeds out on walks. It is behaviour that can be easily trained out with consistency, time and understanding. How Pip is in the house easily outweighs how he can behave on walks. Pip has been such a fabulous dog to foster - we all miss him very much and hope that he gets a forever home soon.

Zac

Sadly Zac has been returned today due to a change in his owners circumstances. He is great with children, great with other breeds of dogs and he is cat friendly. We are desperate to find this fella a home asap. He was homed in February 2012.
