Mitsie
The only way to describe little Mitsie is our little pocket rocket miracle.
Mitsie was given to an old man by a family member who just let's their female dog have litter after litter without a care where the poor babies end up.
Mitsie who was only 6 weeks old and weighed just over 1kg was seen by a couple at their local coffee shop in the morning they left and the husband returned shortly after and the old man at the coffee shop asked if he had seen the pup. The man found this poor little baby laying in a corner behind a pile of crates. It was obvious that she was in pain and could not use her back legs.
The couple contacted usand asked for help. The pup was rushed to our vets where after xrays she was found to have 2 broken back legs. We believe from the injuries she had been kicked so hard the force of the kick broke one of her tiny legs and knocked the ball joint out from the other.
Our vet operated on her later that day.
The operation was a great success and due to her age and the fact her tiny bones are still growing the bones have healed with no lasting effects.
It's now time for Mitsie to find her forever home and loving family.
Mitsie is now 12 weeks old and can fly in August.
Mitsie is a little Jack Russell x full of life and a happy living little pup. She currently weighs 2kg and will be no more than 5kg fully grown and will remain small size. She is in a foster home with other dogs and despite her size she rules the roost.
IMPORTANT INFO
Thinking about adopting a rescue dog?
Please think about these points before applying:
Many rescue dogs have had a tough past and may need time to adjust.
Some aren’t used to living in a home and could find new things scary.
You may need patience and sometimes help from a trainer or behaviourist.
A secure garden is essential.
Ask yourself:
Do I have enough time and commitment for a dog?
What will I do during holidays, nights out, or if I’m unwell?
Can I cope if my dog takes a long time to settle?
Do I have the finances for food, insurance, vet bills, training, and care?
If adopting a puppy, can I cover the cost of neutering/spaying?
ADOPTION PROCESS
What are the steps to Adopt a Dog from us
1. Browse dogs on our website
See if the dogs you like are a good fit for your home and routine.
-
If you see a dog you like, you can apply to adopt them directly.
-
If you don’t find the right dog, you can still fill out an application in advance.
Once a dog matching your requirements becomes available, we’ll contact you first.
2. Fill the adoption application
Tell us about yourself and your lifestyle. Adopters are required to complete an application form.
We’ll chat to make sure any dog you choose is a perfect match for you, taking into account your home, routine, and experience.
3. Home visit & Meet the dog
Before meeting a dog, a successful home visit by the rescue is required.
Once approved, you’ll visit the rescue and spend time with the dog. You’ll get to know their personality, ask questions, and see how they interact with you. We’ll discuss your lifestyle and the dog’s needs to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.
4. Adoption
When you’re ready, we’ll complete the adoption process:
-
Sign the paperwork
-
Pay the adoption fee (£495). In most cases, this doesn’t cover the full costs incurred by the rescue, so we’re always grateful if adopters wish to make an additional donation.
-
Take your new dog home and start your journey together
About spay/neuter:
-
Adult dogs will always be neutered by the rescue either prior to homing or, in occasional cases, shortly after with arrangements made with the adopter.
-
The rescue does not spay or neuter dogs under 12 months of age, and this cost is the adopter’s responsibility.
-
Recommended ages: males 8–12 months; females after their first season (typically 8–12 weeks after). The rescue will ask for proof that this has been done.
5. Post adopton support
Our support continues after adoption. We’ll stay in touch and offer advice as your rescue dog settles into their new home.
