27-07-2024 Dusty has come to us from a home but has mainly lived outside with 9 other dogs.  Her owners have been made homeless so Dusty and her friend Noodles have come to us to find a home where she can live in the house all the time.  She is a lovely girl who just a little worried to find herself here and shies away from people when she first meets them but comes around really quickly.  We are told she was allowed in the home from time to time and did well but she will probably need a bit of help with house training but this shouldn't take her too long to pick up as Dusty happilly walks on a lead and is not worried about being out in our play yards.  Dusty could be homed with Noodles or another dog or dogs or in the right circumstances and with experienced dog owners we may consider homing her as an only dog. Her owners said Dusty has been around children of 10yrs+ years so we would home her with dog savvy children of that age and older who are used to being around dogs of her size.  She is very easy to handle and loves a fuss so we hope her stay here will be short and she will soon be in a home showered with love and affection.
We are told that she can have some separation anxiety when left home alone and so will be looking for adopters who have experience with separation anxiety and will be willing to work on this with her, building up the amount of time that she is left/

Dusty came to us about 2 weeks ago, and hasn’t taken long to become more and confident as time has passed. She is currently kennelled with her best friend Noodles and this pair combined would make any home complete. Dusty is a very loving and affectionate dog, she loves going for walks and is very easy to walk, and she loves playing or just simply sunbathing in the yard. She does get a little stressed when a car passes her on the road but is gaining confidence on every walk she goes on. She would most definitely prefer to be homed with her friend Noodles, but she could also be homed with a resident dog.

Today Dusty and Noodles got to escape the rescue for a few hours! They attended a charity dog walk, and were impeccable the entire time. We could not be more proud of them. The walk took place in the centre of a busy town, and these girls took everything in their stride. They walked by our side the entire time, as part of a large group of people and their dogs, big and small. They ignored traffic,and the other dogs (some of which were very busy & loud!). During the walk, we spent some time walking Dusty and Noodles away from each other, to see how they would cope apart in a strange environment and they did really well. When out of sight, they did not look for each other or seem particularly stressed. However, if given the opportunity they definitely do gravitate to one and other and are exceptionally easy to walk side-by-side. After this walk, we think that both Dusty and Noodles could be only dogs, but they are such easy going, low maintenance girls I really do feel like having the pair would not be much more work than one of them! They could go with other dogs, pending a meet and greet. Noodles in particular doesn’t appreciate excitable dogs getting into her face (who can blame her?!). The girls took a little bit of convincing to get in the car, but once in they travelled great on the journey to and from the walk! At the end of the walk, we stopped at a dog friendly cafe, where foodie girl Noodles happily lapped up a pup cup. Dusty wasn’t interested in hers, so Noodles kindly polished it off for her! We spent a bit of time outside the cafe, just watching the world go by and the girls settled beautifully. I really feel in a home, both Dusty and Noodles will be SO easy. They are the kind of dogs you could proudly take anywhere, and once home I can see them happily becoming part of the furniture, snoozing their days away. Please don’t let them wait too long for their happily ever after!

We had the pleasure of walking Dusty and Noodles today and what a dream they were. These elegant ladies stayed at our sides and were not phased by traffic, people or passing dogs, they were just happy to be strolling along. They both regularly checked in with us as their walkers and especially the 12 year old in the group, who they wanted to walk alongside. They really would be the easiest addition to anyone who is looking for companion dogs to share walks with and a good old fuss and who are no trouble at all. The easiest dog walk ever with two beautiful souls,

Dusty and Noodles have sadly been returned after a few weeks in their new home due to having separation anxiety. Their adopters said they are lovely dogs and except for separation anxiety, they were doing so well, had settled in well to home life and had even mastered house training. They bonded well with their new owners and enjoyed going for walks. They were a little nervous about the car and Noodles can sometimes get car sick. They can chase sheep and cats so would need to be kept on a long line unless in a secure area.
They will be looking for a home with adopters who have experience with separation anxiety and who will be willing to work with them on this and build up the time that they are left home alone. We are told that they aren't destructive in their seperation anxiety, just vocal.
