I am looking for a calm home for Daisy , ideally dog free but another dog in the home that isn’t dependent on their owner and is happy to have time a way in another room whilst Daisy has her own space .

Daisy will need time to adapt and decompress , this really must be adhered too as she can be very anxious .

She has been through so much in her life.

She has recently had a behaviourist assessment , and we will assign a behaviourist to you , to support ,advise and work with you .

In Daisy’s previous home since the birth of the baby , despite correct and careful introductions her stress levels were so high she just couldn’t cope any more and went for the baby on the face .

Thankfully no great harm was done but her family felt that they could no longer trust Daisy .

She went into foster where there was a resident male cocker , as her previous owner said she was better with males and with slow introductions she would be fine .

Unfortunately due to the resident dog being very dependant on his owner, giving both dogs time away from each is just not working .

Hence me having to identify another suitable foster .

Daisy loves people once she knows she can trust you but is anxious of strangers at first .

Daisy will need lots of time and reassurance to adapt in her new environment .

She is incredibly food driven which can help with training and gaining her trust.

She loves her tennis ball.

She is ok with teenagers (once she knows she is safe) but does not like toddlers or loud noises.

She will cuddle up to her favourite people and take a fuss, but she prefers to come to you on her terms for strokes and cuddles and sometimes prefers to be left alone in her own space .

Location - Chesterfield Derbyshire I am looking for a dog free experienced foster home. Bella (12 months old ) has been passed for pillar to post and since arriving in emergency foster it’s become obvious she has been badly treated and due to this she is reactive in some situations. Bella is a beautiful girl who will accept fuss, but on her terms. She loves a belly rub, and is becoming increasingly playful. She will now take treats - providing they are sausages! She will sit when given her food, she eats nicely and doesn't gobble her food. She has slept in a crate, and sometimes walks straight in. She is house trained, she doesn't ask to out during the day but will bark at night if she needs to go outside. She hasn't really interacted with our other dogs in a playful way, she prefers to sit with people all the time. This has, however, caused issues as she is now growling at the other dogs when they come to us for fuss. She also snapped and drew blood on one of them. Bella will let you touch her but can react badly when her collar is touched - we have made it a game to touch her neck and collar but if even the tiniest amount of pressure is put on her lead then she will show her teeth, growl or snap. We have used a slip lead on her and got her used to walking around the house and garden but it's definitely work in progress. Bella does not like being groomed - we have been slowly introducing her to brushes and combs but she makes her objections clear - her nails and fur are overgrown and her fur matted in places as we have not been able to gain her trust enough yet. Bella has drawn blood on both me and my friend - unprovoked in my case and because my friend had touched her. My honest opinion is that she has been extremely badly treated in her past and will need lots of time in a dog free, child free environment where she can learn to trust and be a dog again.

I am looking for a foster for Misty, no children due to her guarding items.

A calm home without too many visitors , Misty can be dog free or with younger like minded dogs who will tolerate her as she can be a little over bearing .

Misty had a bad start in life , she will need a foster who can work her .

You will have help and advice from a behaviourist.

BLADDER PROBLEMS? No

EPILEPSY? No

HEART PROBLEMS? No

FOOD ALLERGIES? No

ANY OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS AT ALL? PLEASE GIVE DETAILS. Has luxating patella in knee joint on left back leg. Diagnosed October 2023. Surgery to correct would require 6 weeks crate rest which she would not tolerate and could still result in arthritis later in life so inclination at present is to keep weight in good range and support muscle development.

IS THE DOG GOOD WITH PEOPLE? PLEASE GIVE DETAILS OF HOW INTERACTS WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS, STRANGERS ETC. Nervous of some people especially if a surprise. Is ok with family and friends that she has gotten to know but may bark at first.

HAS THE DOG BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHILDREN? Had contact with my 4 year old grandaughter and generally been ok although we supervise contact - has resource guarding issues so would advise household with no children or older children.

SHOULD NOT LIVE WITH CHILDREN? Yes

IS THE DOG AFRAID OF OR REACTIVE TO WOMEN? MEN? OTHER DOGS? OTHER ANIMALS? HOUSEHOLD ITEMS? THUNDER/LOUD NOISES? ANYTHING ELSE? Can be nervous of people and has jumped up at them. On lead can be nervous of other dogs more confident off lead but takes things a bit too far with play. Nonissues with loud noises may bark a little - has barked at vacuum cleaner, but working on this.

IS THE DOG GOOD WITH ALL OTHER DOGS?

A bit over bearing with smaller dogs. More respectful of larger dogs - ok with dogs when beating with my partner. Does play with family dogs especially larger younger dogs but can take play too far.

HOW DOES THE DOG NORMALLY INTERACT WITH OTHER DOGS? She intimidates my older dog who is 14, knocking him over, nipping him and pushing him out of the way at dinner time etc. as a result he barks at her which raises his anxiety.

CRATE TRAINED? OR NOT USED A CRATE WHILST WITH YOU? No not used crate

IS THE DOG RELIABLE AT DOORS/GATES OR PRONE TO BOLTING? PLEASE GIVE DETAILS. She will go out for a look but generally comes straight beck in when asked. Some issues when post being delivered or someone knocks at door/rings door bell. Using go to room command and working to desensitise to the door bell.

HOW IS THE DOG ON A LEAD? Quite good on lead if you and she focus was good on two point harness and lead but had to stop using harness due to her reaction to it. Lead work need on going reinforcement which is harder if we are walking two dogs together which we try to avoid but cannot always due to my work commitments. Walks well to heel off lead. She is very strong and does pull hard which has impacted on my arthritis.

RECALL: Has excellent recall responds to three blasts of whistle, came command or standing with arms outstretched.

DOES THE DOG HAVE SEPARATION ANXIETY?

We have left her for up to three hours on a few occasions and she is getting better with something to chew play with and somewhere she likes to lie - on our stairs. We have cameras so been able to observe. We need to separate the dogs as Misty will nip and hump him and he will not settle.

IS THE DOG AGGRESSIVE WITH FOOD? TOYS? ANY KIND OF RESOURCE GUARDING? PLEASE GIVE DETAILS. Not aggressive with food, but is a resource guarder which has resulted in some bite incidents however we have now learned how to manage this.

HAS THE DOG EVER BITTEN ANYONE? IF SO PLEASE GIVE DETAILS OF WHAT HAPPENED, TRIGGER? Yes have had some bite incidents all related to resource guarding other than one where I was sorting her bed when she was in it - possible leaning over/crowding her and she nipped my upper arm. She may have had a sore tail at the time. Others all related to guarding things where we approached situation wrongly and have worked with behaviourist and feel this is improving with our changed response to the situation. Our main worry is for our granddaughter when she visits - visits have reduced as a result of risks related to biting.

IS THE DOG OBSESSED WITH BALLS? OTHER TOYS? Likes balls which are effective items fir getting her to give things up although she is reluctant to give them up but when she has a ball she is not interested in anyone or any other dogs which is good and she will come in to get lead on even if she has a ball, however struggles to walk heel with ball in mouth.

DOES THE DOG HAVE ANY BAD OR UNUSUAL HABITS? Carries blankets around and can be a trip hazard have introduced raised bed to see if that helps and have cut up blankets into smaller pieces so she can carry them around. She tends to do this when needing to go out to toilet so it is good signal. She can be agitated when needing to go to toilet.

DOG'S FEEDING ROUTINE:

Fed twice a day - raw food 450 g per day 300g in am and 150g pm after walks. We use grain free kibble as treats and hit dog for high value treats. Larger chewable treat before bad after last walk.

WHERE DOES THE DOG SPEND THE DAY?

Between living room kitchen and hall depending on what we are doing and where we are. She likes to be as close to us as possible, we try to keep the dogs separate. She tends to lie on stairs if I am working upstairs and is quite chilled.

WHERE DOES THE DOG SPEND THE NIGHT?

In her bed on floor beside our bed. She settles well but may wake us in night for a wee.

WHERE DOES THE DOG SPEND TIME IF LEFT ALONE IN THE HOUSE?

Freedom of kitchen and hall. My other dog is confined to living room.

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S PREFERED BEDDING AND PLACE TO SLEEP. She has a bed upstairs and has raised bed and hard bed with vet bed downstairs. Likes to sleep on stairs. Does drag bedding around and is prone to distraction

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S CURRENT EXERCISE ROUTINE: Generally two walks per day up to 1 hour each enjoys run off lead asap and has wee and poo usually. We try to encourage her to do hunting type activities which she loves. This is also good to get her to drop things. She loves interacting with you during walks.

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S ENERGY LEVELS. Quite high energy but does settle well until she needs to go to the toilet.

NEEDS MODERATE AMOUNT OF EXERCISE/TRAINING. Yes

HOW IS THE DOG WITH GROOMING? DESCRIBE HOW HE COPES WITH BRUSHING, NAILS, BATHING ETC. Given her a brush which she seems to enjoy but not bathed other than washing down with hose with warm water. Having some issues recently with drying.

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S BEST QUALITIES, THE THINGS THAT MAKE HER SPECIAL. She is a lovable little dog who craves love and affection and wants to be with you all the time. She loves cuddles and is really bright and she picks things up really quickly. She is like this 95% of the time and will make a really good little dog for the right person who can understand what she is telling them and help her work through it. We are very conflicted about this but need to consider the needs of our other dog and our granddaughter.

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S IDEAL HOME, WHAT KIND OF FAMILY WOULD HE SUIT, AND WHERE WOULD HE BE HAPPIEST. Home with people more sensitive to her mood changes, perhaps with younger dogs that can tolerate her energy levels and help her to develop and improve interaction with other dogs. Would also do well as an only dog as she loves the attention. Good if there are two people as she is quite intensive in her need for attention and great if they have more time to spend with her. Ideally a house with fewer things she can pick up. Would suggest no children or older children who can understand what to do if she has something that she shouldn’t. She is ok with visitors and best if entry can be managed with a gate so that visitors can settle before she comes to meet them.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER DOG THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED ABOVE? Misty is a little conundrum who clearly has some issues that we don’t fully understand, and I feel now that we don’t have the skills needed to help her overcome whatever trauma she has suffered in her past. When she came to us she had no issues for the first 6/7 months with issues only emerging around December last year. We have made good progress with her but lost some confidence and trust with recent set backs. If we did not have the issues with our grandaughter and other older dog I think we would persevere with her with help and support from our behaviourist as we have had a few really good weeks.

She has lots of good qualities that could be built on but the current environment with our other dog is not healthy for either of them with Misty becoming distressed and pacing as my other dog barks at her. At other times she has knocked him over and nipped him which has distressed him. I don’t think this would happen if other dogs were younger and able to play/ interact positively with her.

He’s equally very intelligent and very silly

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S IDEAL HOME, WHAT KIND OF FAMILY WOULD HE SUIT, AND WHERE WOULD HE BE HAPPIEST. Junior is such a character. Despite being 30kg, he fully believes he can be a lap dog! He thrives off human attention, so somewhere where he is the only dog would be perfect. He loves nothing more than going exploring on a walk, then cuddling with his human afterwards. He is very food orientated, so loves a treat, or a share of yours!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER DOG THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED ABOVE? Junior would benefit from being the only dog where he can have all the attention. He is happy to adapt to your lifestyle and loves to both be active and be at home with his humans. He can be temperamental with other dogs; he tends to be a bit over bearing with them, so on walks, we keep walking past other dogs (so he follows us) rather than lingering and allowing them to sniff & play as this can sometimes turn sour. He knows his commands - sit, stay, lie down, away, and has good recall. He is very greedy and given the chance will steal any food, no matter how well hidden you think it is!

Bobby is a lovely 3 year old springador male.

He is Neutered , vaccinated and chipped.

Bobby has lived with older children and was fine however he can be boisterous so I would be recommending older teenagers only.

He barks at dogs , but there is no aggression at all he just needs careful introductions.

Bobby has bitten once in an isolated incident due to trigger stacking by becoming stressed and he reacted out of fear.

They even said he is not an aggressive dog it was just the situation.

Due to housing situation Bobby has been spending 20 hours a day alone shut in one room.

I would imagine he was very frustrated, sad and lonely.

Judy's ideal home is pet free home with very few visitors (will need time to learn to trust them) a place where her interaction with men will be managed carefully and in her own time as once she trusts a male, she's very affectionate, it needs a lot of time and work, as she doesn't trust easily due to her past.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER DOG THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED ABOVE? Beneath Judy's tough exterior is a heart of gold, once you've gained her full trust she'll do anything for you, she just needs time and space, don't let the bark make you lose hope.

We believe one of the main reasons Judy dislikes visitors is because she's protecting the people she cares about, she's very loving and loyal when she trusts, we don't want to put her in a position where she over steps the mark with a visitor because she's 'protecting' us.

We believe, Judy now needs something different to what we can offer due to changes in our personal circumstances.

We recommend a female vet if possible during any consultations in order to avoid any issues.

This handsome chap is 6 year old entire male , Jack

Jacks story is that his original owners were going to have him PTS as they were moving and didn’t want to take him with them.

Thankfully an older gentleman took Jack in to save him.

He has been with him for 6 months but realistically he is unable to walk Jack so Jack is only going in the garden.

Jack is obviously a very fit active dog and needs exercise and stimulation.

He is becoming bored and frustrated which has led to him becoming a bit of an escape artist.

He will dig his way out of the garden and run .

Due to this Jack is now on a long line in the garden.

He is strong on his lead and does pull initially .

He is a great dog , very affectionate and loving.

He knows basic commands and is obedient in the home and happy to settle down.

Jack is great with children and other dogs , he had grown up with a German Shepherd in his previous home.

Jack will need an active home where he will receive mental and physical stimulation.

He is a great dog who is just in the wrong environment.
