If you have any photos of the dogs you have helped from W.A.R.S. , please email them to us at w.a.r.s@btconnect.com and we can proudly display them for the whole world to see!

Angel

Angel was rehomed in November 2011. She is obviously very comfortable and settled in her new home!

"Just a couple of pics of me asleep on my new bed and with my new friend Tysy."



Bess
Bess was rehomed in August 2011. Here she is on the beach at Lyme Regis.

"Just thought you might like to know how Beautiful Bess is doing.  Well yesterday we entered our first CaniX race together and - to not beat about the bush - won!   Visions of her wrapping me around a tree happily were unfounded.  She absolutely loved it and, remarkably, was calm at the start and listened to all my commands on the way round.  She attracted a lot of positive attention and it was a real plug for the breed and for WARS, as of course people asked where she came from.

 She's doing really well with her recall and I was able to let her play off-lead after the race: the first time in a new place away from home.  She got her Bronze award from obedience classes the other week, too."


Tyson
Tyson was rehomed in September 2011.

We just thought you would like to know how Tyson is doing as he has been with us for just over six weeks now.  He has settled in really well and is a very gentle dog who loves cuddles.  He loves lying on the bed, going out for walks and trips out in the car.  His favourite day is Saturday when we visit my Mum who is disabled.  When he is not lying at her feet he loves to run round her garden with his footballs.

 

Today we have taken him to the Remembrance Service outside Worcester Cathedral and he enjoyed lots of attention from the crowd.



Mambo
Mambo, formerly known as Riley,  was rehomed  in May 2011. 

"Mambo has settled in very well, he only needed one day to take over the sofa! After the first few weeks of a battle with some food allergies Mambo is now recovering on a raw meat diet (he loves it!) and slowly gaining some more weight so he’s no more a size-zero model ;)

Mambo loves his walks to the park, especially when he meets some nice squirrels he can chase there. He’s very clever boy and quickly learned few commands like sit, paw, lie down, stay and roll over – he loves to show off in front of the neighbours’ kids 

Mambo is an amazing friend and companion, very clever and well-behaved. We can’t imagine living without him now!"



Arnie


   

    He has settled very well into his new home and its comfortable furniture.
    As you can see he enjoyed our Dog Show and is very proud of himself and his rosette!





Angus (was Fudge)



 
Fudge was rehomed in June 2011.

"Hi all Thought you might like to see a picture of young Angus (aka Fudge!) after a hard mornings work!! He's settled in really well and is getting more used to the horses every day. I couldn't be more pleased with him!"



Lilly
   

Lilly was rehomed in  May 2011

"Just to let you know that Lilly is doing well and has settled in well.
We love her to bits and she loves going for walks and meeting other dogs.
Thanks for everything, keep up the good work, you all do a great job."

Here you can see one of Lilly's new skills on the left, and on the right she is proudly displaying her Best Rescue Dog rosette!!




Xena
Xena was rehomed in  February 2011
   
"Xena has settled in extremely well and almost immediately fitted in. In a short period of time we have shared many new experiences with xena to include going away in our caravan  ....she particularly loves it in our caravan Photo
As all new expectant parents we had agreed ground rules...but as all new expectant parents no....soft droopy eyes and the odd paw giving soon saw us bow in....Settee.....sleeping up stairs....sleeping with the boys....in their beds...... What's all that about....she's a Rottwieller.!!!!!!.
We often meet other dog lovers  whilst walking her and we say that we got her from a rescue centre and they do say ''oh she's very lucky'' but we always say...No we are the lucky ones."

Bella
Bella was rehomed in March 2011
   

" Hi ya Bella here just thought i would drop you a few lines and tell you about my new home. I have setted in very well i get walked everyday by the river and see loads of bunnies and birdies which i love to chase im even allowed to come off my lead now as i know now when im called i come straight back. My new owners are good to me i get loads of nice treats when im good and i have really nice dinners i even have my own room. Missing you all hope to see you soon."




Benson
Benson was rehomed in April 2011.




 As you can see from his photos, Benson has settled in to his new family really well and is a very cool and relaxed dog now!








George
George was rehomed in February 2011 and is his family's fourth WARS dog.

"Just to let you know that George has settled really well and is an amazingly good dog!! He tried so hard to please us when we first brought him home. He was house trained within a week and loves to play with a ball and chewy treats.

Here are a few pictures of George being George, and having a nap after a walk!!

He is kind and gentle and gets on well with Amber and Abigail. We are so glad we found him.

As he is the fourth in line of your success stories with us after Ned, Amber and Dexter we thought he might get a special mention."


Harris
Harris was rehomed in March 2011
   
Hi all, thought I'd drop a note and some pics to let you know how Harris is doing in his new home.
It's still early days but he's already started to relax in his new environment, he enjoys long walks and playing in the garden with his squeaky ball. He made friends with the postman (who always has biscuits for him). 
Training is still in progress but he's a clever boy and he learns very quickly - although I think I'm in for a challenge to keep him off the sofa :)
He's such a great dog full of energy who loves cuddles, he makes us laugh everyday.

Well done on your great work at the rescue centre.



Elle
Elle/Kayla was rehomed in January 2011

"Elle is settling in nicely. She is still quite shy, but slowly gaining confidence.She is very well mannered and really is a sweet dog. She is very quick to learn and has already learned new commands. She is very well mannered and really is a sweet dog. She is very quick to learn and has
 already learned new commands. She has learned to stop and wait at the kerb and is really good off and on the lead. I have been keeping her fairly quiet because of her scar,but she has had a couple of cracker fits playing on  the green.

Still working on stopping her jumping up, but she is usually so happy to get affection that it might take a while.

She just loves being with people and is at her most relaxed when she is asleep with her head on your lap.
10 out of 10 so far. You guys do a great job."

March 2011: "She is happily well settled now and a bit of a brighter personality is showing."
