So in Adz absence I've been down to the dog pound again today

I can't believe how nice all of the dogs there are! (and there's a couple I could easily have brought home too :blush: )

My favourites have to be the Staffy/Beagle (of course ;) ), one of the GSDs with a sandy coat, and a Rott who reminded me sooooo much of Jade in her personality... and maybe if Akitas weren't so furry I'd be tempted by the big lad with the soft gentle demeanour... and that little crossbreed pup...


Adz - where are you?!? I'm in serious danger of winding up with a house full!! :help:


Sorry - getting carried away and nearly forgot to leave the link :rolleyes:
Sheffield dogs looking for homes (http://s43.photobucket.com/albums/e393/SFStrix/RainRescue%20Dogs%202/)

Youve done em proud Strix, lovely photos, just have to pray for homes for them all. The akita looks lovely, but then so do they all...so sad that they are there at all.

My favaourites still there from last week :(
I still don't think I can turn my OH

My photo really doesn't do him justice estweyn :( He's a fantastic colour with a beautiful coat, and a temperament that just melts you :love:

What a cutie http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e393/SFStrix/RainRescue%20Dogs%202/K3-2609A.jpg

Are you trying to tempt me Strix---??? it wouldnt take much, but I need to be sensible, maybe when I am fully active after my op-I would like a companion for Josh but he is dog aggressive so it would take some settling them down.

Send them both over to Auntie Strix's Bootcamp :P

I've already settled two very dog aggressive dogs together - when they couldn't even bear to smell each others presence prior to that ;)

I wasn't trying to tempt you - honest :D

What a cutie http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e393/SFStrix/RainRescue%20Dogs%202/K3-2609A.jpgIsn't he just? :D

they don't usually like us to take pics with the dogs behind bars, but that one was just so..... :love:

Just to let everybody know that these dogs are now on the RainRescue website at www.rainrescue.co.uk - click on 'sheffield dogs'

you should find details for how to adopt them there

OOhhh K18 - 2499 is just what one of my friends is looking for. Lets hope he has found his forever home :D

Jess
K18 - has had to go out and go into paid holding kennels - which The Doris Banham Sanctuary are paying for.

He will struggle being rehomed bless him - because he will be boarded along with loads of other staffy's all desperate for attention. I have no idea why he wasn't taken out of the pound - bless him he was in for ages.

So, if you friend is interested, please ask her to get in touch and lets see if we can get the poor boy a home.

I know! I think it's the ears that do it for me:love:

my partner has seen him and think hes fab - we are ignorant of the adoption process tho - how much is it to adopt - how long does it take for the home check?? We are moving to a much larger house in 2 weeks, and if our ruby took to him we could be in luck.... ohoh we do have a young child - 18 mths - would that restrict adoption possibilities???

When I adopted Kira the adoption fee was £68 which includes free micro chipping and a voucher towards spaying which brought the cost down to just £30 for me to pay.

You just phone make an appointment go and see the dog and that's it...there is no home check, would be best to take all of the family with you to see how he is around them and I think if at all possible they would allow your dog to meet with him first but don't quote me on that one.

Just ask lots of questions and spend as much time as possible with him sussing him out, particularly with you having such a young child.
Good luck :thumbsup:

that would be great if you could help for him
however, he is now in boarding in kennels - and so not at the actual sheffield pound
have a look on our web site for the contact for Roz at Peterborough - and see if she knows where abouts he is
or pm me your contact details and i will get a contact for you
they just want him to be a in a good home
money is always needed but not the main thing in getting them a dog out of kennels
fingers crossed for the sweet guy

The little shihsue looks like he could do with a good bath, did you meet him stix it says that he is a little grumpy.

I did meet him briefly

He's absolutely no different to any other Shi tzu I've met really - they have a somewhat 'I'm in control' and 'aloof' attitude in the showring and at classes too ;)

Although he looks like he'd benefit from a good bath, his coat otherwise looks to be in good condition, so he should scrub up well :thumbsup:

He's a lovely dog - great personality, but put him next to some of the other dogs in the pound and he's got a lot of competition for anybody's attention :(

If you take a dog from the pound and things really don't work out they are rather understanding

It isn't advisable to take your own dog into the pound. It's a very stressful environment which just isn't conducive to successful introductions

Yes....your right about taking the dog to the pound, I certainly wouldn't do that, it's not easy is it? perhaps the rescue that took him will have an idea :)

I spoke to my friend last night and he is gutted :( he has made the sensible decison that he is no longer in a position to get a dog. He is a builder and is seriously struggling for work atm so thought it best not to take on another finantial responsibility. He was just what he has been looking for as well. I hope he finds a home though, he looks lovely. :)

Had a real shock when I saw the pic of;

K3-2609C

Who is the image of Leah and one of her pups Ozzie,
think it must be a relation to Leah

that's the same dog as K3-2609A and B - they look like different dogs don't they? same with the staffy/beagle cross

the numbers on the dogs are

Kx = kennel number

2xxx = dogs number

A/B/C = my photograph in a series for same dog


the pound will get ever so confused if anybody asks for that staffy/beagle cross by the number I've given, then complains that they've been shown the wrong dog from his other picture :hihi:

Strix, perhaps my Leah has some beadle in her somewhere then, she has
the droopy ears, as do her pups lol

if she's impossible to train, obsessed with sniffing, and greets you like she's welcoming you rather than demanding attention - maybe :D

oversized paws are another give away

hi ive been trying to ring so we can go and see the staffy/beagle cross but to no avail..... :-( we really want to go see him, but no-one has responded to my messages i used 2930362, left a message, spoke also to environment control - for stray dogs i think, they said they would email, we would like to see him tomorrow....
thanks em

I don't know if they've been short handed today eeejay, as I did see one of their staff at the microchipping event

most calls seem to go through to a voicemail as they're busy with the dogs in the kennels quite a lot!

I know calls can go to either the offices elsewhere or to the pound itself though

No, leah was very easy to train, but yes to the sniffing, welcoming and
oversized paws- same with her pups :)

I see Rotherham Dog Rescue have taken in two of the poundies from Sheffield council,the Akita Shepherd cross ,they have named her Kitty and a Cross breed they have named Kes.Hope they find them loveing new homes shortly they do look lovely dogs. http://www.rotherham-dog-rescue.co.uk/inf_03.htm

if Rotherham Dog Rescue can get a pic of Kitty next to a pair of legs that may help! She just look so much bigger in a photo than she really is :?

heh we are off to look tomorrow thank you there strix!! gawd knows how we can choose when they are all so lovely.....

Hmmm, there's a theory that the right dog chooses you ;)

i transported these dogs today, may i add 2 wonderfull dogs that caused no problems at all .:thumbsup:

HI Strix thanks for covering for us we went yesterday and caught up and i know what you mean about wanting em all. I particularly like all the old and poorly ones Mr Adz drags me home every week x

Hi Adz :wave:

Hope you had a good holiday :)

Just give us a shout next time you need me!

Today we got out into foster a whippet x boy - so gentle and calm who was full of ticks and sores.
He is being fostered by a forum member

He will go to the vets on monday to see how we can help him best - poor boy and thanks to our lovely fosterer

We have one of the other old and poor ones being taken in by The Mayflower Sanctuary at Bawtry. Another great rescue that helps the dogs from Sheffield when they can.

only another 50 odd to go.

just to update the staffyxbeagle was reclaimed last night - the pound rang me to let me know!!!

I wonder if the owners have spotted he's got beagle in him :)

New pound pics just gone onto our site - thanks Adz - glad u are back on the shots.

spread the word - some lovely dogs down there looking for long term proper homes.

Are we having this thread closed to save confusion (bearing in mind that's a photobucket link at the top which doesn't update)?
