Bella was a tiny pup when she came to us. She had not had much input so had lots to learn. In her Foster home with two big dogs she learnt how to behave and started to calm down. She was soon adopted by Anna and Dominik, a polish couple who fell in love with her. She is enjoying life, attending puppy classes and meeting lots of new friends. She regularly goes to the beach and is an avid beachcomber, bring lots of treasure to her Mum and Dad. Bella now has a Pet Passport and has been to Poland twice with Anna and Dominic. Her last visit in December was very cold, with thick snow to contend with, but being the determined little dog that she is, she coped very well.…read more

We fell in love with Bella the second we saw her profile via Facebook and we were fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to offer Bella her forever home. We were also really excited giving our dog, Elvis, a best friend for life.

Waggy tails were fantastic in facilitating a smooth transition from her foster family to us and we were very well informed about the care and wellbeing we would need to give to Bella.

The only way I could describe Bella’s introduction to her new home was “busy”. She was busy making friends with Elvis, busy discovering the house and doing what all puppies love to do.

4 months on and Bella is THE most gorgeous, fun, mischievous, loving, gentle, outgoing and friendly soul we’ve ever met and we could never imagine our lives without her. She is our “Bella Bean bag” and we will be eternally grateful to Waggy Tails Rescue for allowing us to give Bella her forever home.

This miniature Yorkshire Terrier came into us aged
2 ½ because she was out of control: biting people and fighting with the other dog in the house. Unfortunately this behaviour can result from not being allowed to ‘be a dog’. She was carried everywhere, not taught to socialise, treated like a human baby, slept in the human’s bed. Poor Lily was desperately unhappy, trembling and nervy.
When she was brought in to the office we were told that she would bite whoever tried to take her. We whisked her off into another room and within minutes she had stopped shaking. She went to stay with our most experienced foster family – who have other dogs – and her behaviour quickly improved.
Lily had a lot to learn and it wasn’t always easy trying to make up for 2 ½ years of missed doggy education but she managed it. She is now a happy, affectionate and loyal dog who knows her own place in the household.…read more

Ebony was one of five Labrador pups handed in to Waggy Tails when they were six weeks old. She spent some time with her Mum and siblings before being fostered to start her training and socialisation. She settled well into her foster home with two house mates and soon learnt how to win them over. After four weeks she was adopted by a lovely young couple in Colehill who already had a young black lab called Nibbler. Nibbler is a very gentle lab and soon found that his new sister had the upper hand. She takes his toys and buries them in the garden and bosses him around but he wouldn’t be without her now. He used to be demanding but now he has Ebony to keep him occupied. They are never apart and do everything together. Ebony was the 3000 dog to be rehomed by Waggy Tails since the charity was started in 1994.…read more

Jack was seven months old when he came to Waggy Tails. He had not had much in the way of training and like all Springer Spaniels approached everything at breakneck speed.

He soon found a new home and his Mum found him quite a challenge. He was so full of life that he wanted to be everywhere and do everything, including towing his Mum around!

Jack was taken to training classes and his basics were soon reinforced and he began to calm down. He is now doing obedience classes and possibly going to start agility. Spaniels are working dogs and need to be kept active.…read more

Reggie, now renamed Chops, came to us as a stray. He is a Dogue de Bordeaux, the first one many of us had met. It is always difficult to find homes for these large dogs as they are expensive to feed and insure. Their size is very off-putting to lots of people, but generally they are lovely natured dogs, amazingly gentle for their size and very biddable.
When Christine came to see him, it was love at first sight! He went off to live with her and her two other dogs. Now he has lots of lovely human company, and great fun with the canine members of his new family.…read more
