CERTIFICATE AWARDED IN NOVICE LEVEL DOG TRAINING

EXPERIENCED OWNER REQUIRED!

Troy is a beautiful boy, he was found tied to a tree whilst having stones thrown at him by some youths. When he arrived he also needed eye surgery but as now made a full recovery and is desperate to find his forever home.

I am a very big boy probably the biggest at the centre, I do like to play with dogs but I get very talkative and giddy when they are around. I am looking for a home without any young children, cats or small animals which means I get all the right attention to make me a really good boy. A house on it's own in the country would be really nice where there is plenty of room and I don't get distracted by neighbourly dogs and cats. My temporary family say that I have matured so much during my time with them and I'm a different dog, I still require lots of training though. My handler has been spending lots of time with me teaching me to walk to heal and take treats gently, I was so underweight that food has become an obsession, everybody is so happy with my progress.

PERMANENT/FOSTER HOME REQUIRED

I now also have my own facebook page, please follow me on Facebook!! http://www.facebook.com/update_security_info.php?wizard=1#!/pages/Troy/107280936040839

Winnie was brought to the Centre as a Stray and nobody came to claim her.

Winnie can melt your heart with just one glance! She is an absolutely beautiful little girl who is very friendly and playful. Winnie does not get along with cats and is a little wary around other dogs, so would be better suited to being the only pet in the household. It is recommended that Winnie would be rehomed with a family where the children are over 10 years of age, where the fence height would be between 5- 6 foot high, only to be left between 3 - 4 hours and to have a minimum of two 30 minute walks per day. Winnie likes a lot of human contact and attention and as she is only young and quite excitable off the lead she would benefit from weekly training classes. Winnie will make the perfect pet for most households.

Jasper has been transferred back to us from the Southport Branch of the RSPCA as sadly he received no interest.

Jasper is a lovely friendly dog, he is very handsome and in desperate need of finding the right home. He has been back to the Centre twice (excluding the transfer to Southport) due to his separation anxiety issues, so he will need a home where he will not be left alone too long as he gets very stressed. If Jasper had the chance he would sit with his head on your knee and be stroked all day, he just loves human contact and attention. Jasper knows some basic commands although further socialisation with people, dogs and new surroundings will hopefully help develop Jasper's confidence. Jasper will need an understandingand experienced owner who can help him overcome his problem with being left alone.

Betty was brought to the Centre as a stray and nobody came to claim her

Betty is a nice friendly girl. She is very good at her basic commands especially `sit' and `lie down' and good at recall, although she would benefit from further training to build a bond with her new owners. Betty can be a little short tyempered with other dogs and cats and weekly training classes are recommended to overcome this along with extra socialization. It is also recommended that Betty be rehomed to a family where the children are 14 years and above, where she would only be left for 4-5 hours and where the fence height in the garden would be 5-6 feet. Betty is very fond of her toys and treats but can snatch them so new owners will have to be aware of this. With extra training Betty will make a lovely loyal pet for a family with older children, where she would preferably be the only pet in the household.

His ideal home must have a fence height of over 6ft, children need to be 10+ and the ideal length of time he should be left is no longer than 5hrs, canine and feline companions are a very strong possibility.
