MacTarn, 2 year old Patterdale needs home!

MacTarn, 2 year old Patterdale needs home!



His Story: Found stray one year ago. Thought to be ex-working. Homed for 1 year with an older lady, but he had a tussle with a dog that rushed him off the lead and she couldn't continue.

Salient points: Patterdale, loving with people and good with dogs. Not trustworthy with small furries or cats. Good to be left. Housetrained.

Advert: MacTarn is a Patterdale Terrier and has come from working stock, if not worked. Arrived into rescue a year ago in poor condition, but has since been loved, cared for and proved himself to be a great companion. He mixes with dogs well outside. His recall is not brilliant due to his working traits. Had one scuffle with another dog, but as this turned out to be a neighbour’s dog, his owner found it too difficult to continue with him as it put their relationship at risk. MacTarn is neutered, vax'd and chipped.

MacTarn is a delightful chap who to the terrier owner is an easy dog. He has a very personable character as Patterdales do, which makes them delightful to own. He is a dear, through and through. He is also a terrier through and through. He is young, in good health and awaits his new family, what a treasure they will find him.

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

An update from Lynne who walked MacTarn today:

So lovely walking MacTarn. Yes it was hot but we kept in the woods most of the time. His fur is like 'felt' He loves his cuddles and he will always come back and sit or stand close to you. Difficult to take a picture, but oh so lovely a soul to capture in your heart.

MacTerrier! Such fun walking MacTarn - every stance is Terrier Alert!




He thoroughly enjoyed being in the sunshine and was a pleasure.

Alas, he is still in kennels waiting for a foster or forever home!

An update from Lynne who walker MacTarn today:

"Mac has missed out so he had 2 walks today..we started our walk but had to cut it short for some motor business. I had a flat tyre so Mr AA came and Mac supervised and then he calmly sat down whilst we chatted about dogs and did the paperwork.



Then we went off on our walk again and had a wonderful walk. It is always a joy to walk with Mac




MacTarn is still in kennels waiting for a foster or forever home!

An update by Lynne ....

“You are out with MacTarn and you are mesmerised by his posture and stance..a terrier to his claw tips.




So proud of MacTarn today ... he was tested and passed with flying colours. We were rushed by a 9 month old Spaniel puppy appearing out of nowhere. MacTarn nearly lost his last home by the same situation, but he didn’t waiver, he stood still and I swear he was listening to me telling him he was a good, good boy and my faith in him going down the line then he went really close for his nose to touch and looked pleased to meet the dancing leggy pup. Then he shook himself, always a sign of relaxing and the pup was called away by his distant owner..I have wanted to take him to a park and try him; now I know he is ready for this".

MacTarn is ready for a foster or forever home!
