There is a unique situation happening at Dogs
Trust West Calder! The centre have had a flood of white dogs that have similar breeds, ages and characteristics. Unfortunately these loving pooches aren't finding homes as quickly as we would hope. The staff at the centre think
that because they are so alike, they are being overlooked as a whole.
All these dogs are incredibly playful individuals who would love to find their loving forever homes. Below is some more information on each white, wag-tailed
dog.
Diesel
Fun loving Diesel is a 2 year old English Bull Terrier
cross, who loves nothing more than being outside as much as possible. He is an energetic,
playful boy whose favourite thing is to go for long walks and roll in the grass,
especially on sunny days. Diesel loves to explore new places and he travels
very well in the car.
Although he enjoys his active lifestyle, he is a big fan
of cuddles and loves attention. He would prefer to be the only pet in the home.
Diesel needs an active, all adult home with owners that are able to keep up
with him and who are able to settle him into a routine.
Buddy
Buddy is a 3 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross
Lurcher. He is a happy lad who loves being the centre of attention. Buddy is very
loving and he just adores getting his ears scratched. He is full of energy and
loves playing with his ball - he would fetch it all day long!
Buddy is deaf and can get frustrated easily. He is
looking for owners who have had some experience in dealing with deaf dogs
before, or someone with time and patience to help teach and guide Buddy. He is
fully house trained and is happy being left alone for short periods of time.
Deaf dogs can have a perfectly normal life and can be
trained fairly easily once both the dog and the owner have got the hang of a
few basic principles – the most important of which is that you have to train
using hand signals instead of verbal commands. Here is a video of Buddy being
trained to help explain:
Jake
This handsome boy is Jake. He is a 3 year old
Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Jake has a very cheeky personality and can easily
make you smile. This gorgeous lad is very happy and full of fun. His favourite
thing to do it to play with his toys, he likes the squeaky ones the best! He also
loves going for long walks to explore and adores trips away in the car.
Jake would prefer to be the only pet in the house as he
likes having his owners all to himself. He is looking for an active, adult home
who have had experience with SBT types. He can be easily distracted and needs someone
who can allow him to settle at home and who can give him their undivided attention.
Maisie
Maisie, a 1½ year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross,
is a very sweet and gentle girl who adores getting attention from people. She loves
to roll on her back and have her belly rubbed. This beautiful lass loves to play
catch, it’s her favourite game! She loves going for long walks and
investigating new surroundings. Maisie thrives on human company and she will do
her best to please you.
Maisie loves people so much that she occasionally forgets
her manners and automatically thinks everybody loves her too, because of this
she can be strong on her lead and sometimes finds it hard to concentrate on one
thing at a time. Maisie has lots of
potential to learn and, with the right owners, will make a great family pet.
Patch
This is Patch, a stunning 3 year old Staffordshire Bull
Terrier. Patch can be shy around new people but once he gets to know you, he
wants you to be his friend. This playful boy’s favourite game is fetch. He will
play all day long if you let him! Patch enjoys long walks and adores the water,
he loves nothing more than to splash around and have fun.
Patch loves to be busy so he is looking for new owners
who can keep up with his abundance of energy. Patch can sometimes lack
confidence, so he is looking for a quiet adult only home with owners that can help
him settle into a new routine.
Tia
Tia has basic house training and is very clever so she has
lots of potential. However, Tia can be nervous around new people so she is
looking for an experienced new owner who has most of their day free. With the
right owner, Tia can build her confidence and settle into a new home.
There
