STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION
WHITNEY
A 3 year old English Bull Terrier cross Staffy who is deaf.
Whitney is very friendly and affectionate to all, & love's everyone big or small, She is great with other dogs but does tend to greet them at 100mph which can be alarming! She lives happily with the other dogs at the Barn. Due to her enthusiastic greetings, it is safe to assume that Whitney would be too much for a 'cat unless it is a Tiger!" Whitney seems to be housetrained.
Typically for a bully, Whitney likes to sleep under her duvet and would prefer to stay indoors unless it's really warm outside! She travels well in my van, unless crated- this causes her enormous stress & wears a doggy seatbelt harness.
We have twice tried to rehome Whitney, but she becomes extreemly distressed, barking continuously, pants so hard she almost hyperventilates & cries pitifully, refusing to eat or sleep. She lasted in her first home for a day, her second 3 days. Causing great distress to her prospective families too.
Immediately on being returned she settles, is calm & content. Obviously we cant keep putting her through this level of stress and we think Whitney has decided she wants to stay at the barn. Maybe one day someone will come along who can build a relationship with Whitney over a few weeks, or months, & eventually move her into their home.
Sheba
Because of her age, few will be prepared to adopt Sheba, she is lucky to be at the barn because she will be able to enjpy the rest of her life free from a life in kennels, & with all the comforts of home. Maybe you would like to offer her support by pledging to sponsor her by making a regular contribution to her care?
Sheba is a wonderful, almost 16 year old, German Shepherd Dog.
She has come in to us because her owner is unwell and moving in with family, but there is not enough room for Sheba. Sheba is an absolutely lovely old lady who seems to be in good health.
She lived with another younger, German Shepherd bitch, (probably her daughter, who is is being rehomed by another rescue). They lived out, but Sheba has taken to the fireside like a duck to water & has been clean &well behaved indoors. She is fine with our other dogs, and has settled in very well with them all. Like most Old Ladies she can be a little bossy at times, and likes to help keep order in the home!
All potential adopters will be home vetted and be expected to travel to Kidwelly, South Wales to meet/adopt this lovely girl. If you are interested in offering Sheba a home, please email us at; rehoming.lizziesbarn@googlemail.com & we will send you our rehoming questionaire.
RUSTY Picture to follow
Because of her age, few will be prepared to adopt Rusty, she is lucky to be at the barn because she will be able to enjoy the rest of her life free from a life in kennels, & with all the comforts of home. Maybe you would like to offer her support by pledging to sponsor her by making a regular contribution to her care?
Poor Rusty has given the best years of her life to her oqner. Sadly she died last week and now Rusty is all alone. Her mum's family, although all claim to be animal lovers, with pets of their own cant keep her.
All she had in the world is a bed, a dirty collar and a toy & 10 tins of meat. So now she has a place at the barn & has parked her bed by mine so she can keep an eye on me.
Rusty has to be over 13 years old, absolutely gorgeous, she looks like a tiny brown fox. I suspect her mum had been ill opossibly with some form\ of senility & Rusty's care has suffered as a result. She is profoundly deaf, has bald places on her feet where she must have been licking due to stress, and is a skinny little mite. She needs a dental, so hopefully once I sort that out she will put on some weight.
All potential adopters will be home vetted and be expected to travel to Kidwelly, South Wales to meet/adopt this lovely old lady.
