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.

Ruby
Ruby
This lovely girl is Ruby, she is a Jack Russell cross Beagle and is 7 years old.  Ruby has come into our care due to a change in her owners working hours meaning she was being left alone for increasingly long periods.
 Ruby is fostered in Derbyshire and she is proving herself to be a real character.  She is living alongside 2 other dogs that she gets along well with but she is a true people dog and loves to be at your side.  When Ruby meets new people she can be initially nervous but in just a few minutes once she knows she can trust she makes friends.
 Ruby is obsessed with the television and will spend hours watching her programmes, she also loves to play with her tennis ball.
She is housetrained and when she is left alone she is non destructive.  Ruby is good on the lead and loves to be out walking. 
 If you are interested in offering this smashing little girl her new forever home please contact us.

 

 

Henry
Meet Henry, a lovely 2 year old Patterdale/Fell Terrier.
 
Henry is a loveable little character, he loves human companionship and is very affectionate.  Although he does get on with other dogs, he does like to be the centre of attention so we are looking for a home where he would be the only resident pet. 
 
He is housetrained and non destructive, he will sit and give his paw for a treat andhe  walks lovely on the lead.
 
Henry is currently in a foster home in Derbyshire, he is neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. 
 
Do you think Henry is the boy for you?  If so please contact us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Barney
Barney is a sweet crossbreed aged 18 months.  He is fun loving and he likes to play.
 Barney would be your best friend for life! 
 Barney is housetrained, neutured and fully vaccinated.  Interested in learning more about this smashing boy? Please get in touch!
Barney

 

 


 

Hope
Meet Hope, a 9 month old crossbreed who already has a sad tale to tell.
 
Hope was found emaciated and being beaten in a park by her owner so she was removed from his care.  Whilst the case against her owner was going ahead, Hope was kennelled for 6 months, the case fell through and as a result Hope was taken to the vets to be destroyed.  A rescue angel stepped in to save Hope and find her a safe haven and she arrived in our care 26th February.
 
Suprisingly after all she has been through, Hope is still a friendly and happy girl.  She greets everyone with a wag of her tail and she gives the best cuddles and kisses ever! She walks well on the lead although she does get giddy when she sees another dog.  She takes food gently and will sit on command.
 
Hope has missed out on socialisation in her early years so needs someone to show her how to act around other dogs as she can be a little bit full on, we feel she could live with a male companion pending successful introductions.  She hasn't been cat tested and we feel she could live with older children. 
 
Hope is spayed and will be vaccinated and microchipped.
 
Could you be the one to offer Hope the stability of a forever home so she knows not all humans are bad? Please contact us for more information.

 

 


 

 

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.

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

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.

Oscar would love to be settled in his forever home so if you think this boy is the one you have been looking for please contact 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 five boys in the house, four Labradors and one Collie x called Flynn.
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.

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.

Lady
Meet Lady, a German Shepherd cross girl born March 2010. Lady has come into our care due to a change in her owners circumstances so no fault of her own. She is a lovely young girl and is great to take out for a walk. Meeting other dogs out she seems fine however Lady would initially be better suited as an only dog in the home until she is further socialised with other dogs, because she's not really sure how she should play.Lady has
lived with children and is fine with them. If you would love to come and see Lady and take her out for a walk get in touch.

 

 

 

 

Diesel

Diesel is 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 Diesel 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 Diesel is still very much a big, clumsy puppy.
Diesel has been neutered and is fully vaccinated and microchipped.  If you are interested in offering Diesel a loving home, please contact us. Diesel may be on dogsblog and other websites as Tom

Watch this short video of Diesel walking so good off the lead.

Meet Star, a handsome Border Collie cross of 6 years of age.

 Star is currently in boarding kennels in South Yorkshire, if you are interested in offering him the new home of his dreams please contact us.

 



Copper

This absolute stunner is Copper and he is a Ridgeback cross.  He has come to us as an unclaimed stray and his age is estimated at around 8-10 months.
 
Copper is a complete sweetheart, he enjoys his fuss and gives lovely kisses.  He arrived with us a touch on the skinny side but he will soon be back to the weight that he should be.  We have seen no negative reaction from Copper towards other dogs since his arrival at kennels so it is possible that he could share his new home with a canine companion.
 
Copper is just a bouncy, clumsy pup who is desperate to have a family of his own.  If you are interested in meeting him, please contact us.

All in all Flossie is a big softie, she loves people and is good with children.

Harry
This is Handsome Harry, a Labrador crossbreed of 18 months of age.  Harry sadly came into rescue with his Mum and Brother after the death of their owner.  We are not sure how long they were left alone before being brought into holding kennels but Harry is currently underweight and is being fed 4 small meals per day at kennels to help increase his weight.  Harry also has some wounds from what appears to be a fight with his brother Ryker but the reasoning behind this is not known although we think hunger may have been the factor.
 
Despite his ordeal, Harry is a lovely boy and is extreemly people friendly.  He has always lived with other dogs and is a sociable boy, he loves to play with his ball and lay outside in the exercise paddock and he is also clean in his kennel.  Harry has not yet been tested with cats but we feel that he may be suitable to live with a feline companion.
 
If you want to learn more about Harry please contact us, he is just waiting patiently at kennels for his new family to find him and give him the love and security that he needs.

 

 

Spike
This is Ryker (was Spike), a Labrador crossbreed of 18 months of age.  Ryker sadly came into rescue with his Mum and Brother after the death of their owner.  We are not sure how long they were left alone before being brought into holding kennels but Ryker is currently underweight.  Ryker also has some wounds from what appears to be a fight with his brother Harry but the reasoning behind this is not known although we think hunger may have been the factor.
 
Ryker is currently in a foster home in Nottinghamshire.  He is living alongside 2 other dogs and a resident cat who he has shown no interest in.  Ryker likes his ball and is very playful, he is also housetrained.  Although he has been through an ordeal he is a lovely, sweet boy who will make a fantastic companion.
 
If you feel that Ryker may be the boy that you are looking for, please contact us.

Jasper
Meet Jasper, a stunning Greyhound boy of 8 years of age.  Jasper was saved at the 11th hour when the pet transporter taking him to the vets to be put to sleep called and asked if we could intervene and bring him into the rescue.
 
His previous owners have said the reason they didn't want to keep Jasper anymore was because he had a scuffle with two off the lead dogs that had come bounding up to him. This decision by his previous to have him put to sleep was made even though Jasper had always got on fine with other dogs in the past.

He is a big boy and is used to living with an older couple, he is also a little overweight.  In true sighthound style he loves his walks ..... and also his bed.

Jasper is fully vaccinated and neutered and will of course be micro chipped. If you would like to learn more about this lovely lad, please contact us.

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.
