This is Watson, so named because he is the most faithful best friend. This boy is exactly what a dog should be. He is loyal, loving, obedient and gentle. Watson was found straying and was delighted to come home with me for a meal and a warm bed. He has paid me back a hundred fold. He will walk for miles with you or just snooze in the garden all day.

Pixie a terrier corgi x is less than a year old. This is what her foster Mum has to say - Pixie came to us in a very bad way. Very underweight and terrified of everyone and everything. With a little love, she is coming out of her shell quickly.
She loves to play in the garden with her two foster brothers and hardly needs a walk at all with all the action. She is house trained and loves to chase a ball. Pixie is still a little nervous of people and shies away initially, but she is overcoming this and turning out to be a wonderful pet. Pixie will need a patient owner who will lavish her with love and teach her that not all humans will treat her badly.

TIA

Tia is a 5mth mixed breed. Tia came to us as a result of a cruelty case. She was kept in a dark room for the first 12wks of her life, she was never handled and never had any human interaction. When she came to us she was terrified of people. She would howl with fear if we tried to touch her. It took along time for us to be able to touch her without her biting in fear. Tia has been in foster now for over 2 months and has learned to trust humans. She has come along way and we feel that she is now ready for her permanent home. Tia will need to go to a home where there are other dogs as she depends on them for comfort. She will still need alot of time and patience. As you can see she is a very pretty girl who will be medium sized when fully grown.
A secure garden is essential and also Tia can not be left on her own for too long and will need to live indoors.

Update: Tia is still waiting for her forever home. She is such a beautiful looking girl, this picture doesnt even do her justice. She is still quite timid but with a bit of time, love and patience will make a very loyal companion.
