Buster, Staffie (Brindle), 1 year old needs home!



His Story: Buster was found stray and since coming into the pound further bounced out of 2 homes. We have taken him on and he is responding to training and has become very special to us all.

Salient points: Young bouncy Staffie full of affection, but had few skills before he arrived. Was reactive to dogs, but now walks well. Needs secure garden and older children as he is clumsy and still a little mouthy.

Advert: Buster was busting! with energy as young Staffies around the year mark are. Eager to please and not really sure why the world reacted like it did to his fullness of heart and "delighted to meet you" routine. Buster is now learning how to walk nicely on a harness or/and halti. He has learnt how to meet dogs nicely and is learning not to fall upon people like a rash! Buster is still young and so needs an active family who can reassure, involve him in constructive employment and carry on his socialisation programme. Buster is neutered, vax'd and chipped. Currently in kennels in Croydon area.

So Buster is on his way and Buster won't be bouncing homes anymore. He is a fabulous lad who seeks direction and has begun to calm down and pick up from people that understand him, love him and positively enthuse in him. So 'B' equals brilliant, bright, positively bashful!

"Please note that this dog is currently in kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found".

Some photos of buster today ...

One of our volunteer walkers walked Buster today as he looked so upset in his kennel.

She gave him a good long walk he really enjoyed himself

Oh yer and poor Buster had on my pink dog harness

Here some pics ...

We have changed Buster's name as his former name has bad associations in our rescue. He is now called Zebedee!

One of our volunteer walkers took Zebedee out and here is her update ... note the fashion statements!

"Took the lovely Zebedee/Buster out, He is so lovely and was so gentle with the pony we meet on our walk.
I have also noticed he is getting better with other dogs".

Lynne visited Zebedee the other day and here is her update ...

"Zebedee was engrossed in the 'Jolly' ball today. I left the paddock to change my camera battery and my absence wasn't noticed. However I called him over and on went the lead and off we went for a walk. Discussed his diet and tummy with Sue..the challenge always is to settle his tummy as he can have diarrhoea. Sue is still trying and now has further info. from Emma. Zebedee took the 'Jolly' ball into his kennel and it was in his bed being played with as I left..not that he noticed "!



We are giving him some pilchards on trial also.

Here is Zebedee revealing his latest 'winter number'

Maggie's family (volunteer walkers) so wanted to meet Zebedee and give him a nylabone. We found that someone had got there before us and there was the identical in his bed with his ball!

Zebedee came out quite excited, but soon settled into his walk with Lisa and Maggie. Very loving boy beginning to put on weight, but has gashes on him from getting up tight. Moved his neighbour down to the end of the kennels as we suspect they were getting him wound up.











Lovely afternoon's walk to remember this evening Zebedzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Zebedee is still waiting for a foster or forever home!

A team of volunteer kennels walkers walked our dogs yesterday and I had a chance to capture the lovely Zeb on camera. Ah Zebedee - how much longer will you wait in kennels?!!! Here's hoping your forever family spot you soon boy!

Nikki having a crafty cuddle ...








Zebedee is still looking for a foster or forever home!

We have re-written Zebedee's ad as he has been with us a long time and we know him so well. We have also had very few homing enquiries for him and we felt that he needed an ad with brighter photos. We hope someone out there comes forward for him soon as he has been wasting away in kennels for far too long ...



His Story: Zebedee was found stray and bounced out of 2 homes. We have taken him on and he has responded to training and has become very special to us all.

Salient points: Young Staffie full of affection. Walks well with other dogs. Needs good sized secure garden, older children or visiting younger children. He has a delicate tummy which is related mainly to his kennel stress, but helped by good quality moist food. Only pet unless dog experienced family to give him time to settle and find his confidence.

Advert: Zebedee is a wonderful lad who wants to please and love - just so happy with every chance he is given. He has never had the work put into him so retains some of his puppy energy and exuberance which you have to love about him. He is a favourite in our rescue. Such a handsome lad who doesn't cope in the kennel situation yet has been trapped in this world for months on end.

The new year is coming and 2010 almost spells Zebedee! Zebedee is ready to spring into his family. He wants to get off of the roundabout...we are hoping our rescue is that magic roundabout that can bring him onto stable land and into his family as their cherished pet. He needs a good sized secure garden and firm footed owners that believe in him and can bring him through into the solid loving and dependable pet he is destined to be. He is brilliant, bright, positively and simply our favourite!

"Please note that this dog is currently in kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found".

An update from Zebedee's fosterer:

"We had a photo shoot session with Zebedee but the camera was playing up so although we took over a 100 we struggled to find really good ones but they show him settling into family life. Will try again becasue he is so lovely and we'd love to show everyone just how sweet he is"

Can I have the toy please? I'll take it nicely I promise.



Thanks


Got it!


It's mine now.


Mine all mine - yippee!!


Now to bed for some peace and quiet.
