Time & Catching up with the beautiful sisters 🐶 Part 1

Cookie has been thriving in "Boot Camp" - or should that be Paw Camp? 🤔 - and has shown herself to be an inquisitive, intelligent little lady, who loves to solve a Puzzle.

Due to her boisterous nature and the need for a confident, strong handler, Cookie is looking for a Foster / Foster with a view to Adopt Home, that can continue working with her Trainer here in Edinburgh.

Whilst she is Dog friendly, she can be over excited, so correct introductions would need to be made.. And whilst she has lived with young Children, a quieter or calmer family may be preferable.

Our post is to introduce the stunning THUNDER.

With all the excitement of helping the Sisters, we didn't want you to think we were Girls Only!

Here he is showing of the equally gorgeous Greg on their wet walk today 💦

WOW - What a crazy few days 🤯

We shan't bore you with the details, as we're firmly fixed on forwards, but let's just say ALL the Hiccups that COULD have happened.. HAPPENED.

Cookie & Hazel have now joined the Twin Crows Rescue and both girls are in wonderful Emergency Foster Homes.

They are taking some time to decompress and allow their personalities to come out - Cookie is definitely the more mischievous, high energy of the two, with Hazel highly into cuddles and snogs 💕

Both girls will be moving to longer term Fosters / Fosters with a view to Adopt in due course.. But for now, let's thank all those amazing Volunteers, Donators and Transporters for helping make this happen 😍😘

"Hello, we're Hazel & Cookie, sisters from Bristol. We found ourselves in a horrible place this week (due to no fault of our own).. However a social media shout out, had lots of people rushing to help us 💕

Secure for tonight, we're looking for somewhere to go tomorrow. Can you help make our "Good Friday" a "Great Saturday"?

These girls do not confirm to the current BSL Ban and do not deserve - at such a tender age - to be typecast and lose their lives 🙏🏼

NORTHUMBERLAND
Introducing the gorgeous 6 month old Neo 💙
( nickname Theo )

Neo was advertised as an emergency due to not getting along with another dog in the household and a put to sleep appointment had been arranged.
This gorgeous boy has been in foster for a couple of weeks now and he’s proving to be a real superstar ⭐️

Neo is of mixed breed, father being a bulldog and mother a mixed breed so this lovely lad is a typical hienz variety, with super long legs and a lovely one at that.
Neo can be quite stubborn and will push boundaries if you let him so we are looking for a confident handler, to keep him in the right direction of life. Due to his size and bounciness, older children only please.

Neo hasn’t shown any signs of resource guarding around humans but has around his fosterers own dogs. Due to this we would like him to be an only dog.
Vaccinations are up to date but neutering hasn’t been done yet due to his age. A neutering contract will be set in place.
Neo is fully housetrained and even paws at the door to be let out.

If you are interested in our boy please message the page directly and answer the questions in the automated reply xx
We are happy to handover to another rescue also xx

Say hi to beautiful Chyna ❤️

This beautiful girl is only 11 months old and a real sweetheart.
Chyna is up to date with vaccinations and she is microchipped, however she has not been neutered yet due to her age.
I’m told that Chyna has no food aggression but is a fussy eater ( arnt we all 😂)
This girl is a cuddle monster, who is extremely playful and dog friendly outside but has lived in the home, as an only dog.
Chyna has never been around cats.
Chyna would benefit from some ongoing training as she is extremely strong on the lead, even a halti may help resolve this.
I’m am told that Chyna has never bitten, nor has she ever shown any form of aggression towards humans or dogs.

Paws in Need are happy to assist with the safe rehoming of Chyna.
The final rehoming will be done privately between the owner and the adopter.

If you are interested in Chyna please get in touch via messenger at https://www.facebook.com/pawsinneedrescuerehome
Please answer all the questions in the automated reply 🙏

Introducing the beautiful 10 month old Belle❤️

We are told that Belle is good with children, generally but doesn’t like loud noises, so older dog savvy children only please.
Belle has lived with another dog and is friendly outside with others but does prefer males.
Belle has not been cat tested.
Belle hasn’t shown any signs of resource guarding around humans but her body language does change if approached by another dog.
Belle has not been neutered yet due to her age and is not vaccinated.

Paws in Need are happy to assist with the safe rehoming of Belle.
Any rehoming will be done privately between the owner and adopter.

🐾🐾🐾🐾 BULLY CRISIS 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Hi everyone,
Due to the current situation in the UK and the uncertainty on how this upcoming ban will take place, we would like offer our assistance in helping anyone, who needs to rehome their “bully breed” dog safely.

In the likely event that this ban will move forward, any XL bully “type” dogs sat in rescues or pounds, will likely be euthanised!
We are happy to work with the owners and we can advertise them on our rescue page at….
https://www.facebook.com/pawsinneedrescuerehome

This will cover home checking potential new homes, however WE CANNOT TAKE ANY DOGS UNDER OUR WING AND WE CANNOT OFFER RESCUE BACK UP, SADLY.

PLEASE STOP DUMPING THEM! YOU ARE SIGNING THEIR DEATH WARRANT. RESCUES ARE FULL!

PLEASE NOTE # #
WE CANNOT TAKE ANYMORE DOGS IN SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK US AND KINDLY REFRAIN FROM THREATENING TO MURDER UR DOG IF WE DONT.

PLEASE STOP MESSAGING AT THE MOMENT 10PM 17/9/23 we have over 50 dogs that we need to book in and it would be foolish to add more to the list at this stage.

We hope you will understand that as a charity we must focus our time and resources on prioritising XL bullies and their crosses. We will still offer help to other breeds and species but please appreciate none urgent neuters will be pushed back. We are almost booked up until the end of November now. We are planning extra neutering availability with our vets but logistics need working out. Part of the licence condition is that dogs are neutered, microchip details are correct, ID tags are worn, dogs are muzzle trained and have 3rd party insurance. We will be providing details of who offers insurance and information on muzzle training. Let's prepare for the worst but hope for the best 💙🐕

PLEASE READ AND SHARE 🐾🐾

I think most of you who follow me know by now that I don’t make rash statements or jump into things with both feet. I have been carefully watching all that has been going on and have been trying to give some assurances to all the owners who have contacted me because they are worried about what may happen to their dogs.

Firstly, let me say I know no more than anybody else about what may happen in the future but hopefully the following information and suggestions can help.

Section 1 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 is the piece of legislation that deals with what are commonly referred to as ‘the banned breeds’

The Pit Bull Terrier type,
The Japanese Tosa
The Dogo Argentino
The Fila Brasiliero

The above four are the only ones currently on the list. IF the government decide to add another to the list then there is a consultation process for them to go through before they do so. At the present time the fact that the above four are ‘banned’ does not mean that you cannot own one but to do so you have to go through an exemption process which is a hearing at a Magistrate’s Court. The exemption means that you have to comply with a number of conditions that are laid down in law, lead and muzzle in public, and third party insurance are just three of these. There are a number of others.

Many people are asking what can I do to keep my dog safe, here are a few simple suggestions;

* Make sure you have some training in place with your dog, and keep it up.
* Short sessions daily, only for a few minutes at a time and make it so that your dog enjoys it.
* Ensure your dog has a good recall - if it doesn’t keep it on the lead.
* Only let your dog off when you have assessed it is safe to do so.
* Utilise private dog fields both for fun with your dog and for some training sessions.
* If you haven’t got third party insurance - GET IT - look at Dogs Trust membership.
* Do muzzle training with your dog - see the videos from the major welfare charities about how to do it the positive way - make it a rewarding experience - DO NOT force the muzzle onto your dog.
* I have said this before - take a Go Pro (other brands are available) with you when you exercise your dog. Switch on at the start of the walk, switch off when you get home.

Enjoy your dog and be safe.

Mike.
