Requirements: Twiggy is a disabled dog so needs a special family centered around her needs. She needs further training and socialisation. She needs to be with another dog and could delight in living with dog savvy older children

Her Story: Twiggy was found stray and had a flail leg which needed to be removed. She also had a poor eye which could have affected her vision and maybe caused by nerve damage probably birth trauma. She has had 2 eye operations, has been spayed and 4 leg operations resulting in a shoulder height amputation. She is chipped and vaccinated. She is currently fostered in with a Jack Russell and very happy.

Advert: Twiggy's life has been tragic on the face of it but she has been kept out of kennels whilst she had had numerable operations and is now fostered and receiving off lead exercise and learning to be a happy carefree dog for the first time. Twiggy has had positive experiences of life with life exposure to domestic living; garden play and use, street walking, car travelling and exercise areas meeting other people and their dogs. She is just learning about boundaries and energy as any 10 month old pup would, but she is a little clumsy and her jerky movements can unsettle other dogs.

Twiggy is a Star. Despite being handed a restricted hand of cards she is playing them as best she can. She is very endearing and is determined to embrace life and offer everyone abundant love. She is building strength in her limbs and still learning to manage tasks in a skilled slightly cack-handed way. Yes it hard for her, but with each day she achieves a more rounded, less clumsy, finesse. She is a Tomboy and Princess all rolled into one! Twiggy needs to live with another dog ideally a male. She needs aware people who can shape her efforts with lots of positive encouragement and heaps of cuddles.

If you are considering to foster of one of our lovely dogs then please read the section here and complete our fostering form if you meet our criteria http://rescueremedies.myfastforum.org/about1325.html and email it to lynne@rescueremedies.co.uk

We ask that our fosterers live within 1 - 1/2 hours of the Gatwick, Richmond & Farnham areas as this means they are in reach of our vets should the dog require treatments, spay/neutering & vaccinating.

You have some fantastic fosterers and do wonderful work for Staffies
