Yappy Ever After

Bella is a 3.5 year cocker spaniel girl, who is now vaccinated and spayed.She’s a lovely little girl but does struggle with some separation anxiety. She’s better than when she arrived but adopters will need to be aware she likely will cry/bark if being left, at least initially. She’s crate trained and not destructive at all.Great with dogs and definitely needs at least one dog friend in the home.She has a history of being nervous of men, will alarm bark and be defensive if approached. She warmed up to my partner very quickly though and absolutely loves him.She’s super affectionate and when she’s excited she will bounce and dance, will mouth playfully & gently and roll around with you.Great in the car (unless you get out without her and then she’ll bark).Good on lead – doesn’t walk with a completely loose lead but doesn’t try to drag you.She loves playing with dogs, even chasing and playing bitey face with my Bernese.Bella is not cat tested.She is in a child-free foster home, but was said to be great with visiting children of all ages before coming to us.Bella would best suit a home where at least one person works from home, but will also make sure she can’t always follow you around because that makes her separation anxiety worse when you do have to leave her.She’s a fab little girl and will just need time to settle and get used to new routines.Bella is in foster in Derby.

We are looking for a foster home, ideally with a view to adopt, for Daisy – a 10-month-old Labradoodle coming to us as her owner has had a serious accident, resulting in her being in hospital for a while and unable to handle a young dog when she is finally discharged.Daisy is an energetic, happy and friendly girl, who has always lived with other dogs and will need at least one other dog in her foster/forever home.Daisy has never been around children, but we would consider dog-savvy children over the age of 10 as she is a happy, friendly girl. She can be a little shy around people/dogs she doesn’t know initially.Daisy walks well on a lead and is crate trained. She will need an active family with lots of mental and physical exercise.She is not cat tested, so will need a cat-free home.Daisy has already been spayed, but needs to restart her vaccinations. She can therefore go a little further afield for the perfect home.Please mark your application form as ‘Daisy Labradoodle’ as we currently have two Daisy’s.

Ralph is a 3.5 year male cockerpoo, now neutered & vaccinated.He’s an energetic little boy, very friendly and fine with new people too. He has a sensitive side, can be nervous of noises sometimes.He’s been great with our dogs here but he wouldn’t like to be crowded or knocked into, generally prefers 1:1 dog interactions or mooching with dogs who aren’t playing. He’s gotten more confident over time. His bestie is Bella our foster cocker spaniel.He’s great at crating, just be careful the door is open ready for him cos he will attempt to jump in whether it’s ready or not!His vet notes show that he broke his hind right leg as a puppy and it’s not surprising as he’s 100mph If he sees a platform/ledge he will jump onto it before you realise he’s even thinking to.He can be nervy when first meeting dogs so if you’re wanting to take him to busy places, just make sure to advocate for him or he might be a bit defensive.He’s great travelling in the car, again he will dive in whether you’re ready or not! He’s very ‘leap first ask questions later’.On the lead he’s a bit all over the place, zigzagging but he doesn’t tend to try to drag you and is very responsive. He is happy to eat kibble out and about too – ideal for further training.I think he’d prefer a home where he’s got a dog friend, but equally could be an only dog.He’s been great at the vets and great with handling. He likes retrieving toys in exchange for kibble and would thrive doing gundog style games to keep his brain satisfied.He’s also a cuddler, really affectionate. He’s a really awesome little boy and whoever adopts him will have a ton of fun!Ralph is in a child-free foster home, but he lived with a young child before coming to us so could go to a home with children of 8+.Ralph is in foster in Derby.

Roxy will be ready for adoption at the end of the month following her second vaccination.Roxy has been in foster to the past 3 weeks after a stint in kennels when she first arrived. She originally came from the pound so we have no history on her past life.Roxy’s microchip puts her at being 8 years old, but she acts and looks younger than her age.We are looking for a child-free forever home for Roxy. Applicants should have large breed experience, ideally with rotties specifically.She has shown no interest in other dogs, but we believe a pet-free home would be best for her as we have no history of her living alongside other pets.Roxy was said to be delightful guest in kennels (both pound kennels and now private kennels). She was noted to have been friendly, sociable and polite around her food.In her foster home, there have been no problems at all. Her fosters describe her as a lovely girl, who loves her walks, food and meeting people.Her reaction to dogs on walks is mixed, but this is quite normal and is easily managed. She is also strong on the lead when she does pull, though she walks very nicely when there are no distractions.She has been left for short periods and has been absolutely fine.Roxy can feel overwhelmed if she feels her space is being compromised and will grumble, so it’s really important to listen to her when she lets you know that she would prefer to be left alone. This condition isn’t reciprocal, however, and she is more than happy to invade yours!Roxy will need to be spayed as part of her adoption so forever homes must be close together Derby, Nottingham, Stoke, Burton, Chesterfield or Newark as this is undertaken by our vets and paid for by the rescue.

Coco and Willow are still waiting for their perfect home together.Here is their foster-mum’s write-up…“We’ve been fostering Coco (7yrs) and Willow (3yrs) for a few weeks now and they are two of the most loving and affectionate dogs I’ve ever known!Willow is such a happy dog and full of energy and excitement, but is also very vocal with people she doesn’t know due to her being nervous and anxious. She soon comes round with a little patience. She’s very eager to please you and loves lots of attention.Coco is more chilled, loves to greet people and loves her walks.They are brilliant in the house! Can’t fault them at all.Unfortunately they aren’t socialised with other dogs so walking them is a challenge.Walking them both together on your own would be too difficult as they can be very reactive and pull and bark. I do believe with training this could definitely be rectified though. Although walking them on their own they are a lot better and are continuing to improve.Off lead is a different story. They are so happy and love to run & play in a secure field.Their recall is brilliant, but obviously I don’t know how they are off lead with other dogs as we take them to a secure field.If you’ve got the time, patience and lots of love to give to these beautiful girls, they will give you so much joy. They deserve the best forever home”.Coco and Willow can live with children of 10+.They would be most suited to a home where they are the only two dogs as they are such a bonded pair.They are not cat tested.If you are local to Derby, Nottingham, Chesterfield, Burton, Newark or Stoke (as they will need to be spayed at one of our vets) and would like a ready-made Labrador family, this lovely pair could be for you.
