Lester's Story : Lester's owner did not have him under control in public so he was seized and is now released to Terrier Rescue as a responsible Rescue: Rescue Remedies offered a Rescue place saving his life.

PLEASE NOTE: Dog laws have changed with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers. Our Rescue asks new owners to maintain dogs on lead in public spaces and manage encounters for at least 4 months until sure of their dogs instincts & skills, most of our dogs will need to be retained always on a lead, so as not to place dog's lives at risk, (Destruction or Control Orders are common place nowadays).

We will offer an alternative dog should our dog not settle given adequate time and reassurance. Rescue Remedies offers their dogs back up for life and exist on the goodwill of our supporters and volunteers.

Lester's progress through our Rescue below
Original Referral information : We work with our dogs & often reveal a different picture & positive skills as they build trust. "male Patterdale, approximately 4 years old. Seems a nice chap. Has been out parallel walking with a Collie - no signs of aggression seen by kennel staff. Lester was seized following an incident, where we understand that Lester got into a fight with another dog in the street off lead outside his home and in the confusion bit a person's shoe.

Lester is a wonderful little dog, he has absolutely no edge to him and is super cute. He trots along at the side of you with the occasional snuffling session. We passed quite a few dogs of varying sizes and Lester was waggy, relaxed and friendly. No problem with cars, joggers, bikes etc and is the most voice & treat responsive terrier I've met.
We did a little photo session with our resident super-snapper Johan and I can't wait to see the photos because Lester demonstrated a perfect sit, paw and beg which melted our hearts. Lester is in pretty poor condition at the moment, he's thin and his lovely scruffy coat is quite patchy. I can't wait to see him get healthy, happy and HOMED!
Here he is with new walker Andrew as a bit of a taster of better pictures to come

Lester is a tiny little chap, from the short time I saw him he seemed well behaved, good and quiet. Here's some photos I took of him earlier:

I had the pleasure of walking gentle Lester today, what a lovely little chap he is. On entering his kennel I was greeted with lots of cuddles and kisses, he was keen to show me his new ball. I threw it quite a few times in his run. He retrieved it, bringing it back to me every time very excited to show me he could. He was so easy to harness and eager to go exploring, on exiting his run he wasn't bothered passing all the other dogs in the kennels. He's so gentle on the lead, a delight to walk. Very well behaved crossing the roads, listened well to instructions. Let's hope you get the loving home soon you deserve little chap.

Being a pattie girl I was excited to meet little Lester on hearing such lovely things about him. I was not disappointed and oh my goodness what a heartbreaker. Firstly to add to his cuteness he has a little "house" in his kennel which obviously makes him feel safe and secure, he welcomed me into his kennel. He was a little harness shy and kept running away. Anyway after very little time we got there and started our walk. He exited the kennel no problem but was slightly nervous bless him and needed a little persuasion. There was a very scary Germany shepherd out in the car park which caused him to cower and cry but after a cuddle, a kiss and a few encouraging words we quickly moved on. He crossed the busy road well and we walked with Buddy and Dani. We had a lovely walk and both boys walked happily together. We met a couple of fellow kennel mates on our way and little Lester was perfect.
On our return to his kennel I gave him a little rub down and cuddle. He really enjoyed this and rubbed himself all over me. He then went down his run and looked at his tennis ball. I said go and get it then. He brought it to me and we played a lovely game of fetch with a lovely waggy tail.
Lester is 100% scrummy. He is full of affection, super cute and I totally fell in love with him (don't tell my boy cracker though!). He is a little on the skinny side and his coat patchy but beautifully soft and he could really do with a lovely home to have love and care he deserves.
