The Friends of Cane Corso

Edie ? 8 month old female Cane Corso

Edie is an 8 month old female Cane Corso who came into our care as part of a cruelty case. Despite her start in life, she is determined to be happy, and since she has entered the system she’s been nothing but sweet and playful.

Edie is currently in foster care in Cornwall with a male Corso, a female Corso and a female Lab as well as kids and livestock. Nothing phases this girlie as her foster carer describes:

Well she survived her first night with us! She slept very soundly and quietly in her crate, no fussing. Ate her breakfast of puppy food and beef heart, loves it. Has had no toilet accidents, since one yesterday afternoon when she first arrived. She is a delight, so happy to see us all this morning full body wag! Loves playing with a Kong and Maude, keeps a respectful distance from Koo and Xeuno, really loves my youngest Max, follows him about wanting strokes.

She has met four new people who came to the house today, all greeted happily seems to be no hang ups with men or women or children, just wants to love and be loved and we are all happy to oblige!

Edie continues to amaze me. Took her for a little stroll around the village this evening, on a short lead she walks perfectly to heel. Every now and then you feel a little nose nuzzle your hand as she walks alongside you. Typical Corso in the dark, sticking to your side and doing the odd recky around her every now and then. She is just sooo happy and her tail wags every time she sees one of us. Here she is chilling out after her little stroll.

Edie went to Xueno’s ringcraft class this evening. She was great, interested and friendly with all dogs and even trotted around the hall with Becky tail up and wagging. There was a baby there that cried , her ears went up and she did look concerned. She has started to sit on command, aswell, clever girl

Edie has no formal training but her foster carers are working wonders with her and she’s very keen to learn.

Rolo ? 9 year old male Terrier Cross

Rolo is a 9 year old Terrier cross. He is one of the most placid, laid back chaps you will ever wish to meet. He came into our care after his owner was successfully prosecuted for leaving 18 small furries to die. The owner was banned from keeping animals and Rolo, along with two other dogs were confiscated from their owner.

Rolo will make an ideal first time dog – he doesn’t pull on the lead, he is great on walks, he is great with other dogs and loves cuddles. Rolo may seem too good to be true but he isn’t, he really has no issues and is very well behaved.

Since coming into our care Rolo has had a scale and polish and two teeth removed and he is fine and dandy now. This sweet natured dog really needs a new home for life.

Maisie ? 15 month old female Shetland Sheepdog

She is good with other dogs and would love a companion. She does not cope well with being alone and will need a home with company for the majority of the day. Dog situated in North Liverpool.

Archie ? 14 week old male Border Collie

Archie is a 14 week old Border collie. He is going to need a lot of exercise, stimulation and also puppy classes.
Archie has come from a working background. This means he is bred to run for miles everyday. He needs an active home where he is going to be out either walking, running or doing agility classes. We think he would be better with older teenagers.

Archie has been left for long periods of time on his own while his owners have been at work. Therefore he has had very little socialisation, he has been out with six other dogs today and he was fine. He loves playing with Raven the 5month old black Labrador. He does need more house training. He is very quick to learn, and we have had only one wee in the house today and that was on a puppy pad! He is living with cats, but he does like to chase them so would need one that would stand up to him. Archie also needs to learn a few manners where his food is concerned as he has a habit of growling. He still thinks he has to compete for it, as he would’ve done with his siblings.

Archie has been wormed, deflead and had all his vaccinations. He will need neutering when he is old enough.

Elsie ? 6 year old female Greyhound

Elsie is a 6 year old lady Greyhound who is now finished with the racing life and is definitely looking for her retirement home. She is a tall, striking girl with a slender face and smooth coat.

Amber ? 10 year old female Greyhound

Amber is a light fawn Greyhound lady who is 10 years young. Dear Amber has had a long life in kennels, and REALLY deserves a soft sofa to retire to. Her coat is rather lack lustre at the minute, but with good food and lots of TLC this will improve. She is a bit stiff after her walks so she will need exercise little and often to help gain some mobility back in her joints.

This gorgeous old girl has very few needs – just a soft bed, some food and TLC and she’s in seventh heaven. She adores any attention given to her, and soaks it up with a happy greyhound smile. She would do best in a quiet household with perhaps an older dog for company. Really all Amber wants is a soft, warm bed to curl up and nap in after a little amble around the block.

Amber is currently in a foster home in Ireland where she is experiencing the joys of home comforts for the first time in her life. She can be transported via Kerry Greyhounds to the UK or Europe if a suitable home offer comes up and this will be organised and paid for by Kerry Greyhounds. We ask only for a donation to help cover costs. She will be given a full veterinary health check, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure. She has not been tested with cats or small dogs yet, but these can be carried out prior to adoption if necessary.

The Many Moods of the Chameleon Illustrated in Colour

When we think of chameleons, we think of their ability to change colour - but contrary to popular belief, this is more a means of communication than camouflage. Yellow means ?Hands off, I?m grumpy!? and green ?Proceed, I?m chilling?. Pretty cool we think. Definitely leaves mood rings far behind...

Albino Alligators

They are cream while others are cocoa; they are chalk while others are (exceptionally dark) cheese- these reptilian oddities are the albinos of the cold-blooded world. But does their condition cause them to perform differently in the great Darwinian game of life-and-death?

The Mystery Behind the 5,000 Year Old Tarim Mummies
