Lucy's Story : Lucy has been jumping homes and has had 2 homes in 3 weeks. Lucy was bought through a free ad to join a resident terrier and young children. The couple hadn't had 2 dogs before and the homing broke down and with nowhere for her to go, were taking put to sleep. We were approached to take her the same day: Rescue Remedies offered a Rescue place saving her life. Lucy is now neutered; chipped and fully vaccinated. Lucy was now in boarding kennels nr Guildford whilst awaiting her new family

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 and support encounters so as not to place dog's lives at risk, (Destruction or Control Orders are common place nowadays).

***PLEASE HELP OUR LONG STAY DOGS: Our min. adoption donation £175, which supports our work and Is non returnable. 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.

Please click for Lucy's thread for regular updates, new pictures and videos. To apply to home a dog, you must be ready within 7 days and complete a homing questionnaire submitted Online We work fast to secure our dogs their loving homes and can be talking to up to 10 families at any one time. Please remain open: We have the dogs we have. Our dogs need a supportive family to offer patience, time & tolerance to allow them to settle.

I met Lucy yesterday and while she was nervous as I entered her kennel she was keen to befriend and sat quietly while Lynne put her harness on and then off we went. Lucy walks nicely on the lead and is connected and responsive. She is a little sweetheart, wanting to be close and wanting to please.

Lovely Lucy has come to stay with me tonight to recover from her spay today, ohhhh she’s lovely

I’m working from home and this was Lucy seeking my attention at my desk 10mins after Lynne dropped her off !!!

Lucy was keen to be close to I moved myself and my laptop to my sofa ...

Much better said Lucy xxx

Lucy and I have come to a compromise, laptop gets one of my legs, Lucy lap dog gets the other !!!

Sweetie pie relaxing zz zzzzz zzzzzz

Watching me eat my dinner !!!

And giving me paw for treats

Lucy absolutely devoured her dinner with relish, enjoying every single morsel and licking the bowl very clean ! Bless her she sat to watch me prepare it and sat as I went to put her bowl on the floor, good girl Lucy xxx

She has enjoyed a wander around the garden a few times whilst it was light and had a run around when she spotted the half tennis ball in the grass !

Lucy has enjoyed a dentastix, munching away with It firmly between her front paws, very dexterous is Lucy ! I also popped a few sausages into the kong toy and Lucy loved the challenge of getting them out ! I’m not sure how much was luck and how much good judgement but it didn’t take longer for the sausages to disappear from the kong !

And you can see how good she is at giving a paw, she does both paws, very good girl xxx

Otherwise she’s been lying on my lap enjoying a fuss, absolute sweetheart.

Lucy is a little sweetheart. She is still a little nervous and if she is worried she goes submissive. With love and reassurance though, you can see her confidence grow. Lucy walks nicely on the lead, initially this morning sticking close to my side but as the walk progressed, Lucy started to sniff more and explore more independently, using the full length of the lead. In the video she is walking close by me as it was at the beginning of our walk and the couple of times she jumps up was only because she was curious about my camera.
