Freddie, 3 year old Red Fell Terrier needs home!

History: Surrendered into rescue at 1 year old. Homed in with a couple with 7 yr old daughter 3 yrs ago. They are now relocated abroad.

Salient points: Good all round Terrier. Has nipped when excited or man handled e.g. pulled by his colour. Never drawn blood. Overall even temperament. Not for cats or to live with young children. Needs companionship.

Advert: Freddie is a great terrier who has good looks, a happy disposition and least you forget, his is a terrier! He has his little personality which makes him very charming. He is good outside mixing with most dogs, but would prefer to be an only pet. He is well trained to command and loves his walks and his toys. generally travels well in the car, but will have a go at motorbikes which is a bit of a shock when it comes out of the blue, but fades as the bike disappears. Freddie is neutered, vax'd and chipped.

Freddie is a Red Fell Terrier. His coat is wirey to the touch and benefits from hand stripping just to smarten him up, but can be left 'scruffy' style. He does sing and dance when being left and did have a walker come to break his day up. Needs distraction i.e. to be behind a door with a kong or 'trickery'. Given more companionship, this should become less of an issue for him. In our books Freddie is a good terrier who needs to be respected as a terrier and negotiated with to achieve an even routine to suit. Freddie is currently kennelled in the Croydon Area.

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

Dear Freddie. Freddie is getting very worked up with dogs around in kennels and generally not doing well. He joined Lynne (Rescue Remedies) & Nikki (Epsom Canine Rescue) for afternoon tea whilst they shared doggie news. Lynne had the pleasure of Freddie on her lap with lots of squeezes and hugs to his delight and hers! Then off for a lovely walk where he chilled out and led her out whilst she walked behind full of love for this brilliant terrier and sighs of "where are your new owners Freddie?" ... he is such a good little terrier.

He is still looking for a foster home or forever home.

Freddie enjoy his walk with Seb today. Alyson has put a towel up in front of his kennel to try and keep him calm from kennel life. Such a different dog once out of his kennel. He did make me laugh today. He was so excited to be going out, he did a dance with his back legs on the ground and his paws in the air waving them at me... We loved this fella and was a joy to walk.



Loved to have a paddle. Just needed a hanky on his head and a string vest..



So relaxed on his walk and enjoyed being out and about, but could feel his anxiety levels rising when we were approaching back to the kennel. Won't be long Freddie and you will soon have your special home.

Freddie Mercury...no not liquid metal liquid Gold!

Oh bless him he looks so happy being out of that kennel. I hope he finds his home soon xx

The chain of kindness .. a family determined to rescue waits and sees at last their dog on terrierrescue (Ted); which creates a foster place, one dog (Gillie) comes out of kennels who is in the car and met by a fosterer, who offers a foster place - which means you drive like to wind to rush into the kennels as they are closing and you want to sing to the hill tops, but instead you whisper into Tina's ear (who is late and still serving food) ..I'm taking Freddie home!!!!





Tomorrow I will take pictures of Freddie in the pack. He was so easy to introduce. They have all accepted him and he is just playing with Glen with Fern complaining and grumbling. Oh Freddie 4 months in kennels we never intended you to be there that long .. at last the terriers are finding homes. Meanwhile you enjoy our humble abode!

Freddie is now in foster and still awaits his forever home.

Sally fell in love with Freddie online - yes they are almost a matching pair!



They met yesterday and it was definitely love at 1st "website"! So Freddie has now found a live in wife and a new home!
