Faith
Faith
Faith is a fawn saluki lurcher. A bit about her…
“Faith is beautiful inside and out. She is very affectionate and loves to lay on you for a cuddle but she also has an energetic and inquisitive side. Faith has lived with another sighthound and has been great with the children she has met. She is a pleasure to walk and travels well in the car, although might be best crated as she can be curious.“
If you can offer this girl her happy ever after, please call Deb on 07974 960684
Hope
Hope
Well, that’s not very elegant young lady. How’s that for a bed fail. Hope came into Tia with her friend Faith a few months ago having been found straying in Leeds. Both dogs have thrived under the care of their foster folks, and we thank them for all the help. Fostering is not always easy and requires far more than just picking the dogs up from the pound.
Faith has snagged a great home for herself and now it is Hope’s turn. Described as a bit lazy and thoroughly enjoys the comforts after her adventures. Hope isn’t that big and is a sucker for naps, cwtches and belly rubs. A young dog, barely two years old and fairly small. Still with her foster folk in South Yorkshire. A little belter.
Nice jim-jams Hope.
Gina
Gina (Ballymac Gloss)
born 4 Dec 2021
Quite beautiful. Spayed and ready to go to her new home. Won 4 times so not entirely disgraced. Just a little girl, standing in front of the world, asking someone to love her.
Gina is gorgeous and loves the place. The lady just lays in her bed smiling and wagging her tail. Flicks her paw occasionally when you catch her eye.
“We had the pleasure of fostering Gina and she is absolutely beautiful. She is very loving and affectionate with people and sociable with other dogs. Gina has met many different breeds, whilst on her lead, during her time with us (Collies, Labradors, Jack Russels, Spaniels, Beagles, Lhasa Apso) and she has been very calm & friendly with them all. She has met other breeds one on one and in small groups. Gina is alert with other animals, such as rabbits and birds.
Gina loves running off lead in the enclosed dog park… doing zoomies…. and playing with (killing!) her soft toys! She will try her luck counter surfing and stick her snout in any cup of tea which might be left unattended! She is housetrained but does have the occasional accident at night but it’s still early days. She is a typical Greyhound who is going to make someone a cracking companion”
Well, she isn’t going to be here long is she!
Rusty (Scotland)
Rusty
We would bet the ranch this is Fern’s brother. Rusty is a stray that has come from the same place. The reunion was like something out of Long-Lost Family. Rusty is about 18 months old and will paying a visit to the vet shortly. We haven’t told him.
Meanwhile let’s enjoy the dance. Tissues are advised.
Fern (on foster)
Fern
Fern is a young Lurcher (around 12-18m). She is sweet, affectionate, cuddly, cheeky and full of beans. She is currently in foster in Yorkshire to recover from an injury she sustained by accidentally running in to something and she desperately needs a forever home to call her own, to allow her healing to continue with lots of TLC.
“Fern is energetic and playful, and can sometimes be cheeky. She has very puppy like tendencies, so just needs time to learn and grow up in a home of her own. She is very social with other dogs and loves to play, especially with little dogs, although she is respectful of their boundaries when they tell her, and will adjust her play accordingly. She also loves people and loves playtimes and then loves to cuddle up on the sofa with you after. Sometimes during playtime she can get excited and a bit mouthy, but this is generally gentle and she stops when told and redirects onto a toy. This has already massively improved in the week I have had her. As much as Fern loves to play she is also a typical sighthound and loves a good nap. She is happy sleeping on her own beds and also does like to cuddle up with you on the sofa/on your lap and fall asleep. As long as she has had a walk and her food, she is happy to be at home with you and loves to lounge around.
Fern is a quick learner and has picked up toilet training like a dream and now will tell me when she needs to go out by pacing/whining and waiting at the door. She has done well with her walks, and is generally okay on the lead although can pull sometimes. She also gets excited when seeing other dogs running and sometimes jumps around on her back legs in excitement. Again this has already improved massively with routine and training and the more she gets out and about the more this is settling.
Fern is very polite with her food, and she is able to be fed around my other 3 dogs with no problems. She will eat her own portion and not pester the others for theirs, and is not upset if they have a look at her food whilst she is eating either. It is the same with her toys/chews/treats- she is more than happy to share with no guarding issues at all.
Fern has already been in a home with a cat where she wouldn’t settle with their cat, however she is currently living with 2 cats with me. She is interested and will chase if they run, however she has been batted a few times by my cats and is learning/improving with them. I think Fern would be best in a home without cats, although if there is someone with a sighthound savvy cat, who has introduced dogs with prey drive to cats before then she may be able to live with them. It would just need to be the right circumstances!
Fern is coming with me to work at the vets every day currently, and she is generally very good, although occasionally gets a bit vocal but this is normally when she needs the toilet. She is very good for her dressing changes and handling in general, allowing us to flush and clean her wound and replace her dressings with no problems. (This is a lot more than a lot of dogs would allow!). In terms of leaving Fern home alone I think this will take a bit of time/work as she does love to be around people. We have already started some training with this, and I think with time she will get there as she has already shown improvement in a week. And at the moment she has currently had a lot of change so it’s understandable she may be a bit confused/worried about being left whilst in a new home!
All in all Fern is an absolute sweetheart, and everyone who has met her has fallen in love with her. She is beautiful, goofy and affectionate.
If I didn’t already have 3 dogs and 2 cats I would consider offering Fern a home myself as she is honestly a sweetheart and has settled into her new routine with me very well. I think Fern will make a fabulous dog for whoever offers her a forever home, they just need to be prepared to do a little bit of training in the early days with her to help her to settle and find her feet.”
