Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 11:55 am Post subject: Terry Red fell Terrier 18 yrs plus Market Harborough |
|
|
History: Rescued from an overflowing Yorkshire pound Stray unclaimed
Salient Points: Older Terrier who presents as an easy mixer. Full faculties and in good health
Advert: Terry is a smooth haired Red Fell Terrier A "Fella" who fell onto his feet! Terry came out of the pound to join a his foster pack of 8 Westies and fitted in as though he just needed to hang his coat on a hook and be 'at home'. He is happy to flow but also responsive to 'No!' Neutered, needs chipping, has had first vax; wormed and flea treated. Enjoys his walks, his food and companionship.
Although Terry is an older dog his hearing and vision are in tact; he walks well and is alert and looks to his foster mum for approval and direction. Happy with the Rabbits and probably would be fine with a cat. Just a super duper Fella. Isn't currently presenting with any issues. Isn't demanding by nature. Oh Terry where is your terrier!

Poor ole thing - lets hope he just saw the whole episode as an adventure holiday.
Made me think of reclaimingrebus's cautionary tale about leaving your dog with others and no new tag when you go away - it could have turned out so much worse  |

They've had a dog for (potentially) 18 years. It goes missing, then is thankfully found (very unlikely for a dog of that age). And then you decide you don't want him! I really hope that family don't go out looking for a young dog now!
Hopefully he finds a nice sofa to curl up on for the rest of his life soon. |

Absolutely stunned by this tale.
These people should be reported and BANNED from keeping any animals ever again!
My elderly Jack is around 16, (he's a rescue so not entirely sure - he was 'middle aged' when I got him) and I can easily fill up when I look at him crashed out in his basket knowing he hasn't got too long left.
I would take that dog in a heartbeat. Do you think he would be ok with a young jack who likes to pester A LOT? Also have 100 chickens, geese, turkeys, rheas, llamas, horse, cats..... Do you think...?
