A little update on a recent dog rescue from France. The gorgeous Tarzan.🇫🇷
Ali and her family were on holiday in France and whilst at the vets getting their dogs pet travel documents in order they met Tarzan.
A few words from Ali:
Roaming free around the surgery was a 3 legged Griffon type dog called Tarzan. He was owned by a hunter and having suffered a vicious attack by another dog his back leg had terrible injuries. The hunter/owner took him in to be put to sleep as he was no good anymore.
The compassionate vets refused and asked the owner to sign him over to them.
Knowing I was helping a dog rescue in the U.K. the vets asked if Chimney Farm would be able to help him find the home he deserved.
CF had stopped taking in dogs but a friend put me in touch with Donna Woodgar from SpanishGriffonRescue.org. Who, without hesitation, seemed confident she could find him the perfect home. Rescuing dogs from abroad is expensive and he needed blood tests, vaccinations, travel documents and transport the sum of which exceeded £1000.
Chimney Farm International Dog Rescue had just received a donation from a lovely family, adopters of one of CF dogs. The family had raised £843.75 from their amazing climb of Snowden, with the pooches Rubi and Oakley.
So Chimney Farm in agreement with Lindsay and family the funds were used for Tarzans medical/travel needs.
We collected him from the vets where the staff did an amazing job with him and saved his life and gave him a wonderful send off they clearly adored him.
He is a very special boy and enjoying his freedom. He constantly wags his tail and nose bumps you to chase and play with him.
SpanishGriffonRescue.org did find him the best home and he has now settled in with his new girlfriend (another Griffon type) and enjoying the life he deserves.
We do love a happy dog rescue story 🐾❤️🐾

❤️ Today is Aretha day 🙏. Not one single application for our big gorgeous girl, so today will be Aretha day in the hope we can reach her family.🏡Aretha was named after Aretha Franklin, the nickname Frankie has been given to shorten.Frankie is 2 years old, female neutered. Clean indoors, walks lovely on her harness, sleeps through the night, loves a cuddle. Frankie is currently on her holidays in Cambridge. Her foster mum is away on holidays so Frankie is having a week in the countryside. 🌾🌳🪵Frankie was not phased by the move and settled right in. Sadly my dogs are boring and do not want to play with her but she is being a good girl and will leave them after they’ve told her no. Frankie is a big girl, she has never been taught any rules so we are learning and she is such a lever engaging girl, she won’t take long to learnt the ropes.So to start we hope you’ll enjoy some photos of her enjoying the garden and we will be posting lots of videos and pictures today of her Cambridge adventures.

ADOPTED ❤️ Frankie day 🙏
Aretha - AKA Frankie day continues
We expect dogs to be able to do the things we want without consistent training, how do they know names, commands without repetition.
Frankie is doing so well with the basics, her name, sit, wait and find it. Her new family must be keen to continue consistent training to help her fully respond and hopefully in time some off lead.
Lucky she is a foodie.
A reminder Frankie is 2 years old, clean indoors, a cuddle monster, larger sized, sociable and good with dogs.
Frankie is in Cambridge for a week so if your this way, time to apply. Otherwise back in Sunbury next week.❤️
