Summary: Hi everybody my name is Ollie. I have been spayed,
I am about 2 years old and I was born deaf.
I am a very happy little girl and I love to play all day long.
I am very fit and healthy and need an adult only family who can spend a lot of time exercising me and playing with me with my favourite ball.
I know a few hand signals and am quite obedient but I can still learn more if you have the time to do some training with me.
It is important that I am an only pet because I would not be happy living with another dog or cat.
Like most Terriers I must be kept busy otherwise I get bored quickly, but once I have had my exercise I am happy to sleep in my nice warm basket for a few hours. If you think you have lots of spare time and energy please consider giving me the forever home that I so desperately need. I have been in rescue kennels for months now and although the people here love me and I love them I do need a family to call my own.
Lots of Love Ollie. xxxx

Ollie is currently at Boston kennels For more information please call Uncle Chris on 07971 578963

The Doris Banham Charity saves hundreds of pound dogs from destruction every month. If a rescue place cannot be found in time to save a dog's life, we pay for a temporary boarding place. We would be extremely grateful for a donation to help with boarding costs to continue saving the lives of forgotten pound dogs like Ollie. We are funded solely by donation and 100% of funds are spent on the dogs. All our dogs are neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped prior to re-homing. We will re-home to anywhere in the country subject to a satisfactory home check.

Please mention you saw Ollie on the Bullies In Need Website.

Age: Both approx. 12-18 months old. Could possibly come from the same litter as they were handed in to rescue together from the same owner.
Sex: Male
Breed: BTX
Size: Standard
Colour: Tia is a red and white female, Bobby is black and white male.
Reason for rescue: Both relinquished into a local animal rescue by their owner who had become homeless.
Neutered: No
Vaccinated: No
Medical history: Both seem very healthy young dogs if a little underweight, I checked their eyes, teeth, ears and feet and they were all fine, their coats and skin are in good condition.
Behavioural history: Tia and Bobby lived together and get on great together. They seem to respond OK to the other dogs in the kennels, they will bark back at other dogs they pass in the kennels if they bark at them but don't generally start the barking off. Did not encounter any other dogs on the walk I took them on, but rescue staff said they have seemed fine walking past other dogs they meet on walks. Have not exhibited any problem behaviours in the kennels.
Area: Walsall
Summary: Tia and Bobby are lovely young dogs who deserve the chance to be part of a happy family. Living in a kennels is obviously not ideal for such young, healthy dogs as they need so much more attention and love than they can be given there. They can be a little wary of people on initial contact but as soon as they realise you are friendly, they love to be stroked and fussed. They love to roll on their back and have their tummies tickled. Both take treats gently from your hand and attempt to sit after a few goes. They would definitely benefit from some training as they have probably had none, and I feel they would be intelligent and quick to learn.

Both pulled a little on their leads at first, but as they currently only get one walk a week in the kennels that was hardly surprising. Considering this, the pulling was not excessive at all. On the way back from the walk they were both calmer on their leads.

Have not been cat tested so best not to go to a home with any cats or small furries as their reaction is unknown.

Unknown if they have had any contact with children, but both seem friendly enough to go with sensible dog experienced older children, 13 plus.

Age: 5
Sex: Male
Breed: Bull Terrier X
Area: Norfolk
Summary: Buster is very sad as his Mum and Dad have split up, neither one of them were able to take him with them and they were devastated. So poor Buster has ended up in kennels, having been in his home since he was a pup 5 years ago. He is so bewildered as to what is going on, it's tragic.

Buster has a lovely temperament and is very affectionate. He is fine with other dogs and could live with children of 8+. He is housetrained and can be left for reasonable periods. He is neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped. He is a firm favourite with the staff and everyone loves him.

He is very used to home-life and cannot wait to be part of a family once again. The weather has turned cold now and, although the kennels are heated at night, I'm sure he must be really feeling the difference in temperature, poor boy.

Buster is in kennels in Norfolk, under the care of the RSPCA Norfolk West, but can be re-homed outside the county subject to a successful homecheck. If you think you can offer Buster a forever home please email me, Jo, on Bully4us@aol.com, or telephone Penny Skate, the rehoming co-ordinator, on 01485 541141. Please leave a message for Penny and she will ring you back as soon as she can (normally the same day.)

Many thanks and we look forward to hearing from you!

Vaccinated: Yes
Area: Alloa
Summary: Buster is 5 months old and will need a firm hand to bring him on to be the perfect dog. He is so eager to please but loves pushing boundaries when given half a chance. He doesn't seem to have had much socialisation but in foster he has been living with other dogs, albeit OTT with them, he is settling down gradually and learning the warning signs when he gets too much.

He loves lying on his back holding his toys in between his front paws and trying to catch them in his mouth and will amuse himself for ages doing this! He lived with cats before but HATED them so cats are a definite no no. He did hump for the 1st couple of days but was down to excitement at being in such close proximity with other dogs I think. He doesn't do it much anymore but will need neutered asap.

He walks well on the lead when with my dogs but tends to not want to move when on his own so some work would need to be done with this if being homed as an only dog. He has a harness but pulls like a train on it so half check is much more effective I have found. Every walk we have been on his recall has been fantastic in a massive enclosed field.

He gets overexcited with children so Buster can only go with children aged 10 and above because he's a big boy and still has growing to do and would prob knock younger kids over.

He has his own bed, covers, bowls, collars, leads, long line, harnesses and plenty of toys!

Age: 1 year

Breed: Bull Terrier Cross

Colour: White with head markings
Reason for rescue: He was a stray in Ireland
Neutered: Yes

Medical history: Benny was very thin when he came to us but is gradually putting on weight
Behavioural history: He is house trained and is not destructive
Likes: He loves cuddles and really likes to play
Dislikes: Male dogs, loud noises and being left alone for long periods
Area: midlands
Summary: he knows all his basic commands and is house trained. He is a fun loving active boy who just wants to please. he does have a toy and bone obsession and for this reason I feel he needs to be with children over 13yrs. Although he gets on ok with my resident dogs he isnt over friendly with male dogs although this is being worked on.
Benny is a gorgeous boy who is full of affection and loves his cuddles. Whoever rehomes Benny will need to give him plenty of exercise as he is a very active boy. he loves to hang off trees when out walking and will happily carry home a very large branch.
Benny needs a home as he is desperately unhappy being in his kennel as he craves human attention and companionship.
Benny doesnt bark loudly as he has damaged vocal cords so makes a quite whine instead. He is a well behaved well adjusted boy who is absolutely stunning to look at as well as to be with

Summary: Loves her fuss and cuddles, very excitable. She is deaf, but I think she's had some basic training at some point because she'll sit to a hand signal and watch to see what you want her to do next.

Loves to shake paws and have tummy scratches.

No problems with food. You can put your hand in her food bowl, she took a piece of food very gently from my hand and gave me big Bully face slurps as a thank you.

She's fit and healthy, let me look at her ears and teeth no problem.

She's excitable with other dogs, was very interested in going to see them. But, she had a full minute or so nose to nose through the mesh with one of them, no hackles, no signs of aggression whatsoever, her tail didn't stop wagging at all and she gave the dog a nice lick on the nose to say goodbye :)

She's a typical little EBT clown.
