Bichon Frise

Dogs Friends

Background –Albie originally joined us after being surrendered by a breeder. Like many dogs from a breeding background, this left Albie nervous of many ‘normal’ things. Albie has been living in an adoptive home for the past few years but he had begun to really struggle with the children as they got older, louder and more unpredictable. It was agreed that it was in Albies best interest to return to find a quieter home.Character –Albie is a loving boy. He likes to take the ‘never let them know your next move’ approach to love with his aloof nature – does he want to sit on you lap? next to you? or off into his own space? Only Albie will be able to tell you that! He loves being around his people and playing games. He bonds strongly, so if you want a new bestie who wants to be your shadow, this is the guy for you.Type of home –Albie is looking for a calm and quiet home. His new home will need to be aware of his anxieties, which mean he may struggle to initially settle and can be wary of unusual situations, he’s particularly wary of those scary vets! Albie is hoping to find a home where someone is around a lot of the time, as he loves people so much he doesn’t want to be left by them. Albie loves going out for walks so he’d really love a walking buddy, prepared to teach him some lead walking manners that he was never taught whilst he was used for breeding.Albie is currently in Bristol and potential adopters will need to visit them here.Our catchment area for rehoming is Somerset and the local surrounding areas (such as Bristol, Bath, Weston Super Mare and Wiltshire).

Bichon Frise White 9 Years (approx) Ref: P2026011 Blue is a handsome 9yearold Bichon Frise cross Poodle who came into our care through the Inspectorate. Despite being an older gentleman, Blue is still full of energy and loves heading out on long walks, especially if there are plenty of interesting smells to investigate along the way! He can be a little enthusiastic on the lead when he first sets off, but he soon settles into a more relaxed pace. When he's not out exploring, Blue is happiest spending quality time with his people. He loves nothing more than cuddles, gentle strokes, and being close to those he trusts. Blue is looking for a home where someone is around for most of the day, as he does struggle with separation anxiety. He would like to be the only pet in the household so he can enjoy all the love and attention to himself. Blue could live with calm, respectful children of secondary school age and above. When Blue arrived with us, his skin was in poor condition. Thanks to lots of care, it has improved significantly. He is currently having a weekly medicated shampoo bath, and this will need to continue in his new home to help keep his skin healthy. Blue's adoption fee is £450 and includes: Neutering Full vaccination Uptodate flea and worm treatments Four weeks' Petplan insurance A onehour, onetoone training session Please note: We require a minimum of three meets at our centre in Hull before Blue can be adopted. I know how to sit (and lots of other commands too!) I could live with children of secondary school age I can be left alone for short periods I'd prefer to be the only dog in a home I'd prefer to be the only animal in a home I'm young at heart I love fuss and attention DOG Bichon Frise White 9 Years (approx) Ref: P2026011

Cloe is a very worried little lady who has come to us from a breeder and is still learning that people can be kind. It is clear she has had very little positive experience with humans in the past, and as a result she finds trust incredibly difficult. She can be flighty when worried and may choose to protect herself if she feels pressured or uncomfortable.Cloe is a sweet but complex girl who has already shown us that, once she truly trusts someone, she has a wonderfully affectionate side. Although progress has been slow, it has also been incredibly rewarding. She now greets her favourite carers every morning with an excited waggy tail and is trying her absolute hardest to be brave around the people she trusts.She has made lovely progress with handling and has recently enjoyed a full groom. Cloe was an absolute angel throughout, allowing herself to be groomed beautifully. She has also recently been bathed and gently dried, taking it all in her stride. These may seem like small achievements, but for a little dog who once found human contact so frightening, they are huge milestones.We have also discovered that being picked up is only scary for Cloe at first. Once she is safely in someone's arms, she relaxes completely and allows herself to be handled without fuss. We truly believe that, with continued patience and positive experiences, this fear will continue to fade and she will become even more confident.Cloe has also recently started her harness training. Although she is still a little too timid to venture out on walks just yet, she is making a fantastic start and we are confident that, with a little more time and encouragement, she will soon be ready to begin exploring the world beyond the rescue.Cloe will need a calm, quiet, adult-only home with no visiting children and adopters who have experience of very worried ex-breeding dogs. Her new family will need to understand that building a relationship with her will take time and that the best way to win her trust is to allow her to approach on her own terms, without rushing or placing expectations on her.She absolutely loves the company of other dogs and will need a kind, calm and confident resident dog in her new home. Having a canine friend gives her comfort and reassurance and will help guide her as she learns about life beyond the rescue. We have also discovered that Cloe is not comfortable around cats and can become quite fixated by them, so she will need a cat-free home.As she has never lived in a home before, Cloe's adopters will need to be patient as she learns about house training and everyday routines. Progress with Cloe may never be fast, but she proves time and time again that she is willing to try for the people she trusts.We are incredibly hopeful for Cloe's future. She has already come so much further than we ever imagined possible in the rescue environment, and we truly believe she will flourish in a patient, understanding home. She simply needs someone willing to take a chance on her, give her all the time she needs, and let her discover that the world isn't such a scary place after all.Cloe has had seven teeth extracted at the time of her spay, as well as an inguinal hernia repaired. She also had a lump removed from her right upper eyelid.Cloe has a travel document.Cloe has been given the Gift of Life by Carol Unsworth

CP is a lovely boy who needs an extra special home.CP came into our care from one of the local pounds, due to having a sore leg they were unable to rehome him. He had xrays and assessments with our vet and also got a second opinion, but it was discovered that the bones in his leg was deformed and causing him great discomfort and due to him not using the leg the vets said the only option was amputation. He has recovered well from the surgery and it hasnt held him back one bit. He is infact much happier and care free now.CP is great with other dogs of a similar size, currently used to living with three other dogs with no issues, but he can find larger dogs overwhelming.He is absolutely fine with cats and could live with a cat no problem.We were told that CP is child friendly, but we think he would be best in a home with teens and over as he can get worried at times, and he can also bond hard with some people and not always want to share the attention (this has caused him to snap at some people on occasion). He spends most of his day currently snuggled up under the duvet in my mothers room. He has become her shadow and loves being close, often spending the night snuggled up right against her back or face. So im sure he will bond with the next person just as much and very quickly become your best friend. He hasnt shown signs of seperation anxiety.He is good in the house, but might need some house training as he settles into a new home and routine, he currently uses puppy pads if we are not home. He has never been noisy or destructive whilst within the home. He is also used to a crate, but we dont use it very often.A secure garden would be required for his safety.

Freddie Male 7 1/2 Years Cavalier x BichonFreddie has had numerous stays in the sanctuary. We are determined that Freddies next adoption will be successful.Freddie has displayed aggression on numerous occasions in the past.

Our behaviourist has indicated there may have been a pain element to this. Freddie has now been on a pain relief and hopefully he will be more comfortable in future.Cute things about Freddie –His little underbite. The way he waddles when he walks. His fave toys- dinosaur, octopus and caterpillar. His enthusiast morning greetings to his fave people.Freddie is the most clearest example we have seen of a dog preferring women over men. With having had so many unsuccessful adoptions we will now saying that Freddie should live in a female only home. There must be no children living or visiting the home. Prospective adopters should be prepared to work with our behaviourist and staff at the sanctuary to help set the home and Freddie up for success. Adopters should be tuned in to dog body language and have experience of dealing with similar behaviour issues.Some small dogs feel the need to shout louder to be listened to so it is important we listen to Freddie’s communication.Assistance will be provided by way of our Aprils Wish program to help with behaviour. Further assistance will be provided by our supported adoption scheme where we will continue to pay for Freddie’s pain relief.Freddie may be able to live with another dog pending successful meet and greets. .* .We are open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 1.30pm – 3.30pm.If you are interested in offering this dog a home and you meet the criteria listed, then please click on the following link to complete an online application or visit us during the above days and times.If you are being considered, we will be in touch to arrange an appointment for you to meet the dog and start the rehoming process.All parts of the form must be completed to ensure your application can be processedIf you are being considered to commence the adoption process you will receive a call from a number ending in 081 or 993; due to time constraints there will be a limited timescale to answer or respond to our message.Dog Adoption Application

Fufu is a neutered male looking for a very special forever home. He arrived into our care as his family could no longer look after him due to a change in circumstances.When Fufu first arrived, he was extremely nervous and simply could not understand what was happening to him. Having lived a very sheltered life, he had only ever known his family from birth and had very little experience of meeting new people or exploring the outside world. Being left behind was incredibly confusing and frightening for him, and he found it very difficult to trust anyone or cope with kennel life.Seeing Fufu so scared and overwhelmed was heart-breaking. We knew the kindest thing we could do was give him the time and space he needed to decompress without putting any additional pressure on him.Slowly but surely, over the following days, we began to gain his trust. Day by day, Fufu learned that we were not going to hurt him, and he started to feel safer in his surroundings. As his confidence grew, he began to show us what a truly sweet little boy he is. It became clear that his nervousness was simply a result of the shock and fear he was experiencing. Watching him relax, settle, and start to enjoy life again has been incredibly rewarding for all of us.Today, Fufu is completely bonded with his people and is an absolute star. He has the sweetest nature once he knows and trusts you and is incredibly loyal and affectionate. One of his favourite things to do is curl up on your knee and have a snooze. He is now enjoying walks on a secure harness and lead and is beginning to discover just how wonderful the outside world can be.Although Fufu has come such a long way, he remains very nervous around new people. As a result, he will need an exceptionally patient and understanding owner who is willing to let him settle in at his own pace. Building a relationship with Fufu cannot be rushed and he will need time, space, and understanding to get to know his new family on his own terms.Please note: Once our dogs are made available for adoption, we are unfortunately unable to hold them for extended periods of time due to the demands of rescue and the number of dogs waiting to come into our care. For this reason, applicants for Fufu must be in a position to adopt within a reasonable timeframe.This includes: Neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, flea and worm treatment, full veterinary health checkAPPOINTMENT ONLY from 1pm – 3pm Monday to SundayRescue Centre Address: Honeywell Lane, Oldham, OL8 2JPParking: Free parking facing the RescuePennine Pen Animal Rescue CIO has been in operation since 2001, serving the needs of the local community of Oldham.

Holiday originally came to us from a breeder. She was adopted and found a lovely home, but sadly it wasn't the right match for her as the resident dog wouldn't accept her, so she came back into our care. Holiday has since moved to a foster home where she is settling beautifully and continuing to learn all about life in a home.Holiday is a very sensitive girl who had very little socialisation before coming into our care. When she first returned to us, she found people incredibly worrying and was very hand-shy. Her first instinct was always to run away, and she wasn't comfortable being picked up or handled. If she felt pushed beyond her comfort zone, she could react by nipping out of fear, and she did nip her previous adopter once when she became overwhelmed during handling.Holiday will still be looking for a calm, quiet, adult-only home with no visiting children. She will need adopters who understand the needs of scared ex-breeding dogs and who are happy to let her settle at her own pace, without pressure or expectations. She relies heavily on other dogs for comfort and reassurance and will need at least one other kind and confident resident dog in her new home to help guide her.Since moving into foster care, Holiday has made some really lovely progress and is growing in confidence every week. She now happily comes into the sitting room and chooses to settle nearby while her foster family relax. She enjoys being part of family life and likes to know where everyone is, often coming to find them and quietly checking in throughout the day.She is now happily taking treats from our hands and has recently started giving gentle little nose bumps to our hands, which is a wonderful sign that her trust is growing. She also greets us with a wagging tail and will happily sit and listen while we talk to her, maintaining eye contact. When she first arrived, she would run away as soon as anyone spoke to her, so this has been a huge milestone.Although Holiday is becoming much more confident, she still isn't ready to be handled much and is not yet comfortable wearing a harness or going for walks. Her adopter will need to be happy to continue building her confidence at her own pace, allowing her to decide when she is ready for each new step.Minus her brief adoption, Holiday had never lived in a home before, but she has settled brilliantly into foster care. She is now 99% clean in the house and has established a lovely routine. She absolutely adores the other dogs, taking great comfort from them and often following their lead. She enjoys spending time in the garden and small secure field, where she loves exploring, relaxing and watching the world go by. She has also been left at home with the other dogs for a few hours and has coped very well.Holiday is a very special little girl who has already come such a long way. She is learning that people can be kind and that home life isn't so scary after all. She still has a journey ahead of her, but with plenty of patience, understanding and the support of another dog, we hope she will continue to grow in confidence and enjoy everything her new life has to offer.Holiday has been given the Gift of Life by Ellie Worron

Kira is a super sweet and gentle lady who has come to us from a breeder. She has now spent a week in foster care and has made lovely progress. Her first day was understandably overwhelming, and she spent hours pacing around the garden, too frightened to come into the house. However, with patience and reassurance, she has already started to settle into her new routine.Kira has grown in confidence over the past week and now happily follows her foster carer around the house, enjoying being nearby. She is curious about what is going on around her and is no longer fazed by everyday household noises. Although she is still a little shy, she will happily sniff an outstretched hand, gently take treats, and accept a little fuss as people pass by, even if she doesn't actively seek attention just yet. It seems that chicken is certainly the way to Kira's heart!Kira has a healthy appetite and would happily help herself to the resident dogs' meals if given the opportunity! She enjoys the company of the other dogs and has even started joining in with their excited races up the garden whenever they spot a squirrel, although she's still learning exactly how the game works. She hasn't shown much interest in toys yet and hasn't quite discovered the sofa, but we are sure these milestones will come in time as her confidence continues to grow.She has been wonderfully clean in the house from the very beginning, helped by having easy access to the garden, and she sleeps soundly through the night. However, she may some reminders of this in her new home. She is also happy wearing a harness, and her foster carers will soon begin introducing lead walking once she is ready.Kira is looking for a calm, adult-only home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. She will need plenty of time, reassurance, and TLC as she learns that life can be full of comfort, companionship, and love. Her coat is also beginning to grow back nicely where she had alopecia, and she is looking healthier every day.In the right home, we believe this gentle little girl has every chance of becoming a wonderful and devoted companion. With kindness, patience, and plenty of tasty chicken treats, Kira's future is looking brighter every day.Kira has been given the Gift of Life by Raychel Mount
