A dog's heart beats between 70 to 120 times a minute, compared with a human heart which beats 70 to 80 times a minute.
The common belief that dogs are colour blind is false. Dogs can see colour but it is not as vivid a colour scheme as we see. It is much like our vision at twilight.
The oldest dog that has been reliably documented was an Australian cattle-dog named Bluey. He was put to sleep at the age of 29 years and 5 months!
I bet you didn't know that two dogs survived the sinking of the Titanic
Most people know that a puppy is born blind and toothless but did you know they are born deaf. They begin to see at 2-3 weeks, get milk teeth at 3-7 weeks and after a few weeks start to develop their hearing.
Dogs have 42 teeth.
Do dogs dream? If you look at your dog while it's sleeping, sometimes you'll see its eyes move and twitch under its eyelids. Humans do this too, and we definitely dream. So researchers are almost positive that dogs have dreams too.
Dogs hearing is a lot better than ours. They hear high-pitched sounds (like some insects make), that we cannot even detect.
Stroking a dog on a regular basis is said to help you reduce stress levels, tension and reduces blood pressure, and the dog loves it too.
The Poodle's "haircut" was to improve their swimming abilities. The pom-poms were left to keep their joints warm !
Dogs have a visual range of 250 degrees compared to the human range of 180 degrees.
Greyfriars Bobby was a famous Skye Terrier immortalised in the Disney movie of the same name. In 1858 a man named John Gray (Old Jock) was buried in old Greyfriars Churchyard, in Edinburgh. This loyal dog slept on his master's grave for the next 14 years until his own death. A statue commemorates this most loyal of dogs.
Each year on April 8th at a ceremony in Tokyo's Shibuya railway station dog lovers do homage to the loyalty and devotion of an Akita dog called Hachiko. Hachiko was the loyal and faithful pet of Dr. Eisaburo Ueno, a professor at Tokyo University. On May 21st 1925, when Hachiko was eighteen months old Dr Ueno died. The next day and for the next nine years, Hachiko returned to the station and waited for his master before walking home, alone
Poisoning of dogs by chocolate is not as uncommon as you might think. Chocolate contains theobromine, found in cocoa beans. While amounts vary by type of chocolate, it's in all human chocolate and it's the theobromine that is poisonous to dogs. It's true that the odd bit of chocolate will probably not cause any toxic reaction but there are variables to consider like the individual sensitivity, dog size and chocolate (theobromine) concentration. What happens if your dog steels all that chocolate on or under your christmas tree...well your dog will get a toxic reaction from the poison it has eaten so you should contact your vet straightaway. The point is you don't leave bottles of medication within reach of children and you shouldn't leave amounts of chocolate within reach of your dog. Just type something like "Chocolate Toxicity" in any search engine to find out the facts and some sad truths.

Dunroamin K9 Rescue Re-homing
 
Last Updated: Dog/s added 23/01/2012 @ 22:25

 

Willow
This elegant girl is Willow, a 4 year old Weimeraner cross.  She was rehomed by us last year but is looking for a new home again through no fault of her own.
 
Willow has been good in the house, she is housetrained and non destructive. She is good with other dogs and just wants to play, she does have a strong chase instinct so cannot be placed in a home with cats, she is great with any children that she meets.  She was a nervous girl when she was first rehomed but has come along in leaps and bounds, she does sometimes still get nervous of crowds and will look for reassurance,
 
Willow is looking for an active home as she is used to having around 3 hours of excercise per day, she needs a home where there is someone around for much of the day and would not be happy being left alone for extended periods.  She is a playful girl and she will entertain herself for hours with her toys, her favourites being her Kong and her ball on a rope.  She has been taught commands
 
She is fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped.
 
Willow is an extreemly loyal and affectionate girl, if you think you could offer her the home that matches her needs please contact us.
Willow again

 

 

 

Tech
Meet Tech, a young male crossbreed of approximately 2 years.  Tech has been in our care for a few months now but sadly is still waiting for his new home.
 
He is an affectionate little fella with the softest muzzle ever, he is never far from your side and will sit nicely to accept some fuss or receive a treat.
 
Since being in our care, Tech has shown that he can be selective over his doggie friends so with this in mind he would be better suited to being the only dog in his household.  He hasn't been tested with cats but he is a gentle boy so we would consider placing him a home with older children.
 
Tech is fully vaccinated, has been neutered and is microchipped.
 
Can you make Techs dreams come true in 2012 and offer him the home that he really does deserve?  If so please contact us.

 

 

Pip
This little chap is Pip, a cute little Terrier of approximately 2 years old.  Like many others sadly little Pip has come to us as an unclaimed stray from the dog pound.
 Initially shy, Pip warms quickly to new people and is eager to have a fuss or run around and play with his human friends.  To date he has been fine with other dogs but he is not child tested.
 Do you have a small space on your sofa for Pip to climb up and enjoy a cuddle?  If so please get in touch.

 

 

 

 

Basil
Meet Basil, he's a small cross breed and is approx. 1 year old. Basil is very timid with strangers at the moment but once you gain his trust he is a very loving little boy. Basil is another unclaimed stray who is looking for a loving forever home.

Update on Basil (the day after he came into our care)

Basil
Basil, just loving every friend he meets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Josh



My name is Josh and I'm a bit of an original cross breed, age  3 years. I love people, but am not too keen on other dogs, or cats.  I have been in kennels now since August 2009 waiting for my forever home but no one has come along for me yet, I keep my paws crossed, it can't be long now surely.  All I want is a nice warm bed, a couple of walks a day, some good food and lots of cuddles, I'll be a good lad, and I don't take up much room, honest!  Ring my carers and come along and meet me, I sooo deserve a chance!!

Bracken
Bracken is a gorgeous fox red Labrador of 9 years of age.  Poor Bracken found himself in the dog pound over Christmas, his owner didn't come to claim him so he came into our care.
 
Bracken is currently in a foster home in Derbyshire where he is happily living alongside 6 other dogs.  He is housetrained and non destructive.  Bracken is currently a little underweight but is fit and healthy, he enjoys going for long walks and he is perfect on the lead.
 
His favourite toy is a ball on a rope and he will entertain himself throwing it in the air and chasing it, he likes to play with his treats before settling down to eat them.
 
Bracken really is a sweet boy, he is very laid back and affectionate and enjoys rolling on his back for a tummy tickle.
 
If you think this lovely lad could be the one for you please get in touch.

 

 

 

 

Barney
Barney is a sweet crossbreed aged 18 months.  He is fun loving and he likes to play.
 Barney  is sociable but would be better suited to a home with a female canine companion.  A people's dog, Barney would be your best friend for life! 
 Barney is housetrained, lead trained, neutured and fully vaccinated.  Interested in learning more about this smashing boy? Please get in touch!

Murphy
Meet Murphy, a stunning male Lurcher boy of 12 months of age. 
 
Fostered in Nottinghamshire, Murphy is living with other dogs, a cat and 2 children and he is getting on with everyone just fine.
 
Murphy is very much a people dog and loves to be with you, with this in mind he would not suit a full time working family as he does like to have someone around a good proportion of the time.
 
He is housetrained although he can be nosey and is a bit of a thief.
 
If you are interested in the gorgeous boy and would like more information about him, please get in touch.

 

 

 

 

Just so you know we make every effort to put the right dog with the owner and as importantly the right owner with the dog. Based on our assessment of a dog and your life style etc we always try to make sure you will be happy with your new dog and your new dog will be happy living with his/her new family. If things go wrong we are here to help and advise for the lifetime of the dog and if a situation occurs where you can not look after the dog any more we will always take the dog back into our care. In fact this is a condition in the adoption contract. Thankfully this doesn't happen very often at all but when you adopt a dog from Dunroamin K9 Rescue you have our help, support and advice for the lifetime of your new family member.

 

 

 

 

 

Red
This is Red, a lovely Mastiff Cross who is approximately 2 years old.  Another stray but someone has obviously spent time with Red as he does have lovely manners.  
 Red is a happy boy whose tail never stops wagging. He is a bouncy lad and just likes being out of his kennel so he can enjoy some playtime.  He really does love his treats and will sit and patiently wait for the next tasty morsel.   
 For more information on our happy chappy, please get in touch.

 

 

 

 

Breeze
Breeze is a Boxer Cross and she is so very pretty.
 She is only a youngster, approximately 12 months old and is desperate to be loved.
Breeze has helped so many new arrivals by sharing her playtime and kennel but that isn't her mission. Her real mission is to give her new owners plenty of love and loads of fun and we think that will just be a walk in the park for Breeze... and maybe a walk in the woods, on the beach as well as a swim in the sea.
 Breeze is just waiting to meet you at kennels, if you would like to come and see her please get in touch.
 

 

 

 

Holly
This is Holly, a stunning girl aged just 8 months.  Holly is a German Shepherd cross and is just so pretty, she has the most amazing fluffy coat!
 Holly is playful, she is still very much the big pup and just wants someone to cuddle her and love her.
 She is desperate to find her new family and get her paws under the table, could her special someone be you?
 


 

Maddie
Maddie is a female Border Collie girl who has obviously had a difficult start in life and she is still only a youngster at 10 months old.

Maddie is currently in a foster home in Nottinghamshire and living with other dogs which she gets along fine with although she can be a bit bossy at times. She is also fine with the cats in the home

Due to her poor start in life Maddie is proving difficult to house train but we are confident she will master this soon. She also spins in excitement when she heres a noise that is strange to her, this is due to things not being introduced to her when she was a puppy, we also think she may have been kept in an enclosed space for a long period, she is however making progress and then spinning is getting slower.

Maddie is an extreemly affectionate girl and she adores to be around people. Outside of the home Maddie is a different girl, she is confident, happy go lucky and confident. She is great off lead and her recall is fantastic, she loves chasing the ball and will even bring it back to you.

Ideally a home with another older dog where she can spend plenty of time outside would be perfect for Maddie.

If you are interested in giving this pretty girl the stable forever home that she needs please contact us.

 

 

 

 

Alfred

Alfred is a mature Labrador and came into our care on Valentines Day after his seven days were up at the council pound, which made him yet another unclaimed stray. Alfred is a lovely boy who has definately given someone lots of pleasure in his life but has been abandond when his health has deteriated. Unfortunately he has neurological problems which cause him to be unsteady on his legs. He has been seen by a vet who checked him out and has said he is not in any pain, but due to the fact that his problems could well be caused by a brain tumour and we have no idea how long Alfred has got, he is not up for adoption.
This is not bothering Alfred at all though because he is in a foster home living with other dogs and he loves it. He goes out twice a day and although he is very slow walking on concrete he runs and plays on grass. He eats well and sleeps well and is a real pleasure. However long Alfred has left it will be quality time.

Update:

Alfie
It's not worth thinking about why and who would abandon their pet when it has an illness like Alfie.
This cruelty is unforgivable and I do hope the saying 'what goes around comes around' is true and Alfie's previous owners suffer the consequences somewhere down the line.

Alfie found his new home with me and six other dogs and shared his life with us for four months.
His illness overtook his quality of life and he was given peaceful sleep on the 11th June 2011.
I already miss my Alfie so much but I have four months of great memories which I hope he has taken with him.
It was a pleasure knowing and caring for you Alfie xxx

 

 

 

 

Darla
This is Darla, a beautiful Collie cross Terrier of around 4 years of age.
Darla is lively and loves to be outside running around and having a play
She is a pretty girl, with a lovely smile and she is hoping that someone will offer her that fantastic home now that spring is here so she can enjoy lots of walks in the sunshine.
Could you be the one that Darla is looking for?  If you think so, please get in touch!

Darla

 

 

 

Brynn

This cheeky little chappie is Brynn, a 4 year old Staffy cross, saved from a local dog pound after being found as a stray.
 He is currently fostered in the Doncaster area and he is happily living alongside 3 other dogs.  He is friendly with dogs outside of the home but he does get excited when initially meeting them.  He is also good with children.
 Brynn has great food manners and knows all his basic commands such as sit, down and leave.  He is strong on the lead but with the use of a head collar this is easily controlled.
Little Brynn has a real lust for life and is a lot of fun.  Could he be the addition to your home that you are looking for?

 

 

 

Sam

Sam is a sweet Staffordshire Bull Terrier who was found straying.  He is only a baby at around 6 months old so it is so sad that he has found himself unwanted and unloved at such a young age, infact he only just made it safely out of the pound, thanks to a fantastic pound helper who didn't give up trying to find him a rescue space.
 Sam is very people friendly and loves to flop on his back for a tummy tickle.  He has not yet been directly tested with other dogs but whilst being at kennels, has shown signs of being very unsocialised with others, we will assess this further in the near future.
 All in all, Sam is a cracking little lad who is desperate for a family to call his own to make up for the bad start he has had in his short life.  If you are interested in learning more about him, please get in touch with us.

 

 

Bruno
Bruno is a Labrador boy with a fantastic personality.  Aged 5 years, he has come into our care as his owner has become too ill to give him the care and dedication that he deserves.
 Currently in a foster home in South Yorkshire, Bruno has proven to be a good boy, he is housetrained and gets on well with the other five dogs in the home. Bruno is neutered, and will of course go to his new home fully vaccinated and microchipped.  Could Bruno be the one that your home is missing?  If so please get in touch.

Update on Bruno from his foster carer:
Bruno is a lovely boy and loves plenty of attention. He gets on great with all but one of the other six boys in the house (five Labradors and one Collie x called Flynn) but does get a little nervous of Fred during eye contact which is very strange because Fred is a lovely friendly 10 year old boy who I have been fostering for quite some time now. Fred is bigger than Bruno so maybe that is the problem. Don't get me wrong though, they live in harmony 99% of the time, but basically I think Fred doesn't like him much but tolerates him and Bruno knows this.
When Bruno is out he is very wary of other dogs and shows this by barking and being very uncomfortable which means he has probably been attacked by another dog while out sometime in his past. It's not a major issue but will take some time and patience to help Bruno overcome this fear. He is a lovely Labrador and is classic of the breed and if his new owners are prepared to put the time and effort in to make him realise not all dogs out there are out to get him they will have a fabulous companion who will love them back ten fold.

 



 

 

 

Dolly
Dolly is approximately 10 years old.  Sadly she found herself in the dog pound and nobody came forward to claim her.
 Dolly is now in our care and having fun at our lovely boarding kennels.  The staff say she is a sweet girl and she is still very active for her age, she is also clean in her kennel.
 Dolly is now looking for a new home where she can enjoy her twighlight years.  If you are interested in meeting this pretty girl, please get in touch!

 

 

 

Jacob
Jacob is a stunning Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed.  He served his 7 days in the dog pound before coming into our care.
 He is around 3 years old and typically of the breed he is a loving and affectionate boy, all he wants is a cuddle.
 Although not yet directly tested with other dogs, Jacob hasn’t shown any negative reaction towards others.  He is also a fun loving but gentle boy.
 Jacob is going to make someone a fantastic companion, could that be you?  

 

 

 

 

 

Prada
Prada is a stunning German Shepherd male aged approximately 5 years. He has come to us after he was abandoned in a garden with his two canine companions.
 Prada is a complete gentleman and is very affectionate and loving.  He is a gentle and laid back chap and he gets on well with other dogs.
 He is already neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped.
 If you are interested in adding this handsome boy to your family please get in touch.

 

 

 

Flynn
Flynn is a handsome boy with the most gorgeous eyes.  He is a Collie cross and is 5 years old.
 He came to us from the dog pound as an unclaimed stray and is now in a foster home in South Yorkshire.
 He is housetrained and non destructive and he is used to being left for a few hours per day without making a fuss. There are other dogs in the foster home, so could potentially share his new home with the right companion.
 Interested in knowing more?  Please get in touch.

 

 

 

 

Lady
Meet Lady, a german shepherd cross girl born March 2010. Lady has come in
to our care due to a change in her owners circumstances, and is very worried
and scared at the moment, Lady has never been in Kennels before. The staff
at the boarding kennels we use are building her confidence by sitting with her and
giving her lots of time and she is slowly starting to smile again. These
pictures don't really do her justice, she is a very pretty girl. Lady has
lived with children and is fine with them.

 

 

 

Babe and Max
It's so sad that we have to say that Max has passed away. He and his friend Babe found there way to a loving foster home where they would of stayed together if no loving adoption home had come along for them both but Max went to sleep and didn't wake up. Rest in peace Max.

Meet Max & Babe, a lovely pair of Whippet crosses.  They have come into our care after the death of their owner, a family relative took them to the vets to be put to sleep as there was none to care for them but the vet refused, after an appeal for a rescue space by a rescue worker in the area, they are now safely in our care.
 
Max is 13 years young and Babe 11 years young. They dote on each other so we are looking for a home for them where they can remain together.
 
Both are dog friendly and are very gentle, both are very affectionate and love to be cuddled.
 
If you are interested in offering this sweet pair there loving forever home where they can cuddle up together please get in touch. 

 

 

 

 

 

Tom
Tom a sweet Staffie boy, he is still a baby at 8 months old and has already found himself straying, alone and unwanted.
 As is usual for the breed Tom loves people and the fuss and attention that comes with it.  He is extremely gentle when taking treats and will sit and wait patiently.  He is quite strong on the lead and will benefit from some lead training.  We haven’t directly dog tested him as yet, but the dog warden says he showed no signs of aggression whilst in the stray kennels.  All in all Tom is still very much a big, clumsy puppy.
Tom has been neutered and is fully vaccinated and microchipped.  If you are interested in offering Tom a loving home, please contact us.

 

 

 

Molly

This is Molly, a sweet crossbreed girl of 3 years.
Molly came into our care after she was handed into the dog pound after the death of her owner and there was nobody to take care of her.
She is a well behaved and chunky girl who knows how to sit and give her paw on command.  She is playful and seems fine with other dogs.
Molly is waiting at kennels for her new family to come along to meet her, if you think that could be you please contact us.

 

 

 

Ben
Ben again
This handsome boy is Ben, a 5 year old Golden Labrador.
 
Ben is a loving boy, he is happiest when he is laid at your feet or having a cuddle on the sofa, he would need a home where there is someone around a good proportion of the day as he does crave human companionship, therefore he would not be suitable for a full time working family.
 
Currently fostered in Derbyshire, Ben is he living with two other dogs whom he gets along with fine.  He can be a bit bouncy so would not be suitable for a home with young children as he could potentially knock them over. He is not suitable to be rehomed where there are cats.
 
His lead work has improved since his recent arrival in his foster home, he does still get a little giddy at first but soon settles down and trots happily at your side.  He is housetrained and non destructive.  Ben loves his food and is currently a few kilos overweight so his new family with need to be prepared to continue helping him re-find his waist line with a good diet and plenty of exercise, he loves to play and to interact so Ben does need a relatively active home.
 
Ben knows his down, sit and paw commands and will often sit at your feet and put his paw on your knee, a lovely endearing trait.
 
Ben is microchipped and vaccinated and has already been neutered.  Can you offer this special lad the stability of a forever home?  If you think so please contact us.

 

 

Rhea Whippet
This lovely little girl is Rhea, she is a Whippet cross and is 10 months old.
 
Rhea is currently fostered in Nottinghamshire alongside 2 resident dogs who she gets along fine with.  There are also 2 cats in the foster home and Rhea doesn't bother with them, but she is curious as to why they won't play with her.
 
She is very energetic and most of the time she just wants to play, she loves going out for a walk and is very fast off lead, although she does return to you when called.
 
Rhea adores company and if you are ignoring her she almost sings to you, her foster carer says she could be in a dogs choir as she makes some really funny noises!  All in all she is a very friendly girl who loves your attention and just likes to be with you.  She can be a little eager and excitable at times but she is still only a puppy.
 
Is this beautiful girl the one you have been looking for to join your family?  If you think so, please get in touch.

This was the day we picked Misty up from the council pound.
She had been found by the dog warden in a dreadful state seven days previously.
She is now in a temporary foster home.
More details will follow.

 

Misty Update 8/04/09

Misty is doing really well in her foster home and is slowly learning to trust. She loves the company of other dogs and because of the confidence she gets from being around other loved dogs we would only re-home Misty in a doggie household. Update pictures very soon.

Misty Update
Misty is now in her loving forever home. Her foster carer just couldn't let her go and has decided to adopt her. She will have a happy life along with her new brother and sisters especially Kodi who Misty has developed a really special bond with and visa versa.

As we all know, it is wonderful to feel loved......

and great to feel safe and happy....

Misty is home!

I was found wandering, frightened and alone.  I was picked up by the dog warden and taken to the pound.  Every day I waited, waited for my owner to come and get me but no-one came, my heart sank.  I couldn't understand why, I had been a good girl, did they not love me anymore?  My seven days passed so quickly, what would be my fate?  Thankfully I was taken to BeeJay Dog Rescue , now I have a second chance to find that special someone who will love me so much they will keep me safe and never let me go.  Could you be that special person, if so ring Jane on 07766586720.  Thank you.

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to Google for these amazing facts. If you have any amazing dog facts please send them in to us.

Henry just wants to clarify one of the amazing facts above. Normal chocolate is poisonous to dogs BUT he wants to make sure you know you can buy doggy chocolate!!!!!! including doggy easter eggs......Thanks for that Henry

 

 

 

This is Max. He's not a real dog but he has a real story.
He was found wondering the streets and taken to the council pound. That is day 1 of the 7 days his owners have to collect him and pay a fee before they can get him back. After the 7 days he will either be rehomed or put to sleep. Max is microchipped so after being scanned the dog warden rang his owners and they came to pick him up and take him home.
Point is the only reason Max was reunited with his loving owners is because he was microchipped.
The cost of a microchip is less than the charge the council pound will demand for just a few days of looking after your lost dog.

All dogs adopted or fostered from Dunroamin K9 Rescue are microchipped but we think every dog should be microchipped.

 

 

 


PS
We also know some cats and kittens that need some love in a home they can call their own. Can you help, or do you know someone who would give a rescue cat/kitten a loving forever home? Please get in touch with Second Chance Feline Rescue if you can or you do.
