Colin

A handsome boy that has arrived from China
Colin has had a hair cut and is feeling so much better for it!


l l l l l

Gender: Male

Good with other dogs: Yes
Suitable to live with cats: Yes

Health: Good
Type of home needed:Colin is another very handsome boy with a very sweet nature and full of personality. He enjoys the company of other dogs but is quite confident on his own too. He is currently in a foster home alongside two other dogs, cats and two young boys and his fosterer tells us that he is a really lovely dog and is learning a new life very quickly. Colin was very nervous of being stroked or groomed on his back legs, mainly due to tangled fur, so he has now had a hair cut and is feeling more comfortable and slowly feeling better about being groomed in that area. He is on a careful diet to get him into shape gradually. He is looking for a home with people that will give him lots of love and time. Colin was saved from the dog meat trade in China and we have been supporting his rescue while he was waiting to travel over to the UK where we can find him a loving forever home.

Type of home needed:Handsome Fergus is a gentle boy and has been placed into a foster home to help build up his confidence. He is living alongside two other girlie dogs and is good with them. He is a gentle soul and has recently made a lot of progress and is really enjoying going for a walks mooching around the garden on a fine day! He is looking for an all adult home with gentle folk that will give him time and have the love and patience to watch this truly lovely boy blossom. He loves to eat and will eat almost anything you put in his food bowl. He is a big boy but takes food very gently if offered properly and loves treats of any and all kind. He has come on a long way since he first arrived. He has shown a preference for women, but will engage with men given time if they let him adapt to them. He is a big boy and that coupled with his anxiety means we would not suggest a home with children. This beautiful boy will blossom in time with love and commitment. Fergus was rescued from the dog meat trade in China. He has spent some time in a safe shelter in China where he has received lots of love and care before coming to us. He has lived alongside lots of other Labradors and has a lovely friendly nature towards all other dogs.

dontgiveup


Note to adopters:

Lassie, Rin Tin Tin and Toto do not show up in rescue. We do not get the elegantly coiffed, classically beautiful, completely well trained, perfect dog. Many never had good veterinary care, kind or consistent training, or sufficient company. Some have lived outside, or left alone for many hours every day. When rehomed they are scared or depressed and anxious and will act out of character but time, patience and love will solve this. When you take on a rescue dog you need to be 100% committed to making it work, ride the storm but do not ever give up. We at rescue never give up on a dog. We know that a dog is a living being, with a spirit and a heart and feelings. Our dogs are not commodities, things, or garbage. They are part of lifes sacred creation and they deserve as much love and care and respect as Lassie, Rin Tin Tin or Toto. So please, please do not come to rescue in the hopes of getting a "bargain" or "a fully trained dog". Come to Rescue to give, to love, to save a life -- and to mend your own spirit. For Rescue will reward you in ways you never thought possible. We can promise you this -- a rescue dog will make you a better person.
