Basil Fox Hound • Male • 4 1/2
months old Adopted March
2005 Read
my story!
Basil has an
enthusiasm for life that is bottomless.
His foster mum says he's a delightful
pup who loves to chat with you. Basil
walks well on lead and is making excellent
progress with his housetraining. He
adores people and other dogs. He's good
with poultry and is learning to be good
with cats. Basil would prefer to live
with another dog as he adores playing.
His basic obedience training is going
well and he'll make a terrific companion
for somebody who loves hounds!

about anything! He listens carefully

single dog household but he is happy
to meet other dogs. He will need an
active life and will want to be part
of all his new home’s activities.

into an all round good dog!

take very long!! She will quickly warm
to you and then shower you with youthful
enthusiasm. She has lived with other

the way. Jessie is quick to learn and

things young pups need to learn.

home where there is going to be a lot
of company to keep her happy.

little pup. She is quite shy but is

rapidly learning all about the world.
She adores being with people and listens
carefully to everything said to her
and this will make her easy to train.

all the new things she will need to
know about in her transition from puppyhood

and is more than happy to go along with
whatever you decide. He enjoys his walks
and equally enjoys a good bone to knaw
on. One of his favorite pastimes is
soaking up the winter sun and as he's
housetrained, he's more than happy to
do this in the sunroom or out in the
garden! If you are searching for a companion
to bond with, Monty is waiting to meet
you.

busy life he will become a very true
and loyal friend.
Pugsley
(now Monty) Pug • Male • 4
years old Adopted May 2005 Read my story!
Pugsley is a
very engaging little character. He loves
food almost as much as he loves people
which is why he has joined Weight Watchers
to lose a few kilos. Like all pugs he
is a real “person dog” and
mutters with joy when he is cuddling
up to you. He is also happy to spend
time with other dogs. Because of his
loving nature, Pugsley will need a home
where there is someone around a lot
of the time.

Tyson is the
perfect companion. He really knows how
to communicate — you can have
a wonderful conversation with him and

adores spending time with you and nothing
will give him greater pleasure than
to be out on a good healthy walk by
your side. He's happy with dogs of all
sizes and nothing at all phases him.
He would love to find a home where he'll
have lots of company, possibly including
another dog. Tyson is housetrained and
will move into your life without the
least bit of fuss. It won't be long
before his new home feels he has always
been a part of it!

Tyson has a heart
as big as his body! He is a real softy
and will spend every minute you can
spare leaning into you and giving you
his undivided attention. He has lots
of youthful energy and loves his exercise.
He hasn’t been taught a lot yet
but as he really listens to what he
is told he will be a quick learner.
He enjoys a game with other dogs and
is a very sociable fellow. Tyson is
looking for a home where someone can
really give him the time and love he
deserves. If you can do this he certainly
won’t disappoint you!
