Letter from Brandon & family

Hello Paul and Sarah,

Just to let you know that Brandon is settling in very well. He made himself at home straight away- it's like he has adopted us and not the other way round. He's a very happy little boy, really affectionate, and everyone who meets him adores him, which he laps up of course! He is now registered with our vet and has had his booster injection, and has started training sessions where he shows off his 'sit, stay and come' abilities, and is learning to walk to heel and to socialise with other dogs. The trainer happens to be a PAT dog assessor, so that may be useful for the future. Brandon has already met some of the residents in the local sheltered housing scheme where my friend lives and was a big hit with them! He has really enhanced our lives too, so thank you for introducing him to us.

Best wishes,

Jeanne and Brian Jones.

 

Letter from Jamie (now Dexter) & family

Hi Sarah and Paul,

Just wanted to let you know how Jamie now known as 'Dexter' is getting on.  He is doing brilliantly, he is a real character and has definitely found his feet and has become quite a busy little boy.  He is still great with our children who still love him to bits and give him lots of cuddles which he enjoys.  He loves going for walks and meeting new people and dogs and is really good in the car.  

He has started to mouth a bit and chew a few bits of furniture but we are working on this and this is to be expected from such a young pup so we have plenty of chewy toys such as his nylabones for him to chew.  We are hoping to enrol him into a puppy class very soon but he has already learnt the sit command and is very good at down and recall.  We have just started to teach him to fetch his toys and he is great at this.  He is so keen to please so i think he is going to be quite trainable.

He is an all round great pup who is so affectionate, we wouldn't be without him now and we thank you for allowing him to become a valued member of our family.

I have attached some photos for you to see how he is getting on.  As you will see, he has settled in very well, lol!!

Thanks again and speak soon

Letter from Gino & Dad

Hi Sarah & Paul. 

Dave Hamilton & Gino here.
I tried to have a look in the Forum but couldn't log in. Have re-registered just now.
Gino is doing fine, he is such a lovely boy :-)
Have got a broken leg at the moment, so walkies bit difficult at the moment for me :-(
When I am working, I quite often stop at the country park in Little Irchester, its handy to park the lorry, and Gino LOVES it there :-)
Hope everything is going well for you.
Cheers, Dave.

Letter from Peggy (now Cassie) & family

Hi, Sarah and Paul,

Hope the show went well, would have loved to be there, but had already made other plans. The pictures I sent you recently were taken on holiday in July up in Warkworth in Northumbria.  We had a lovely week staying in a cottage by the side of the River Croquet just half a mile from the beach. Cassie is doing well we go to training classes every week and it has done such a lot of good in respect of confidence with other dogs. We are still hoping to move to Bridlington in the future but have not managed to sell the house as yet.  I cannot believe we have had Cassie for 14 months, will keep updating you and sending you pictures, thank you once again for letting us adopt Cassie she brings us so much joy and love.

      

Best Wishes Margaret, Jeff, Megan and Cassie xx

Letter from Zippy & family

Hi Sarah & Paul!

Trust you and all your furry friends are well?!  Hope your show went well?  Gutted to have missed it but we were away for the weekend taking Zippy on his first 'mini break'!  He & Robbie had a fab time at the beach with their friends Bandit & Cookie (my parents dogs)  Very proud to say they are all rescues!  Zippy is doing fantastically, all his basic obedience is good, we have started 'kindergarten agility' classes and he is sooooo keen to learn, he picks things up so quickly.  He is such a bright little dog and so full of fun, we absolutely adore him. He sends you both lots of licks!

Best regards

Sharon, Craig & Zippy  xxx

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Letter from Oscar (now Murphy) & family

Hi Sarah and Paul

How are you both?  Sorry for the delay in sending this form but we have had problems with our email.  If you have received odd emails from us then I apologise but this was beyond our control, some sort of spam problem.

Anyway, Murphy (Oscar) is doing fabulously.  He is a real character and he has fitted in really well and Tess is now his protector from all others! Tess and Murphy enjoy rabbit hunting together and his recall is brilliant whereas with Tess I usually resort to the whistle.  I'm not sure how much longer this will last though as he gets more confident.

He is still very much an overgrown puppy and is still mouthing but I'm sure as he gets more confident and secure this will stop.  He and Tess also have an alliance in that they both jump on us in bed when they want to get up.....not so welcome at 4am though!

His heel work is coming on, but it is hard when you have all four of them, but I manage to get them all to heel eventually, which apparently is quite a sight when we walk through the village.  On my part I can't wait till we get to the fields and they can run loose and then I can unknit the leads.....Murphy would make a wonderful weaver.

Any way I hope all is ok with you and that you are continuing to find homes.

Best wishes

Judy

P.S. I have attached a couple of photos

Letter from Max & family

Hello Sarah and Paul,

Hope this finds you both well and happy!

We did intend to e-mail before now but have been rather busy with Maximillion! Just wanted to let you know that he has settled into his new home and seems to be a happy little chap. He is gorgeous and we love him to bits. It's such a relief because neither of us had been dog owners before and weren't sure what to expect.

We appreciated your advice when we came to visit. Also please pass on our thanks and best wishes to the lovely lady who found Max in Oxford and let her know that he is now safe, warm and settled.

Wishing you all the best and we will keep you posted on Max's progress.

Michael and Heather Kerry
