Our New Homes 2013

Here are the stories of some of the Cairns that CTRF rehomed in 2013:

Harley

Harley – update 27th December 2013

Harley, the 8 year old dark brindle Cairn boy, went to a new home on Christmas Eve with a retired couple who are used to a similar dog. He is doing very well indeed, and this is what his new owners say about him:

“Harley is settling in… He has been for two walks each day and is well behaved but he must have been really spoilt previously as he looks for a lot of fuss and he sulks if he doesn’t get his own way. We have left him on his own a couple of times for short periods and he is always pleased to see us come back, although we cannot get him to sleep separate to us at bed time he will not stop making noises until he comes in with us in his basket. Has a lot of typical cairn habits just like our daughter’s cairn used to have. Will keep you updated in a few days.”

Holly and Bracken

Holly and Bracken – update 24th December 2013

Jake

Jake Found A New Home – updated 2nd Nov 2013

Jake, the dark brindle Cairn Terrier whose owner had to go into sheltered accommodation, found a lovely new home. His new owner already has a rescue Cairn and they got on very well straight away. Jake’s owner was sad to lose him, but was happy that this has had a good outcome.

This is what his new owner had to say about him on our Facebook page shortly after he was adopted:

“I went to see Jake with his owner and her daughter and introduced Jake to my little cairn Tinker, they hit it off straight away. He is a lovely boy and I took to him as he reminded me of my old Billy ( my previous dog). He has been so good as we had a long journey home. Jake is safe and well and hasn’t stopped playing with Tinker who now has a boyfriend !! He has been so good they both went up the woods this morning and had fun terrorising the squirrels!”

We will no doubt have updates on our Facebook page.

Maisie

Maisie got rehomed – update 3rd October 2013

Maisie, the dark Cairn Cross girl, found a new owner and she is doing very well in her new home. We had a message from the previous owner today, saying this:

“just to let you know that Maisie has settled in just fine with her family. They are lovely people who are giving Maisie a super home, she is having a wonderful time, its just what she deserves. I thought you might like to update the web page to let everyone know she is a happy little terrier.”

Milo

Milo no longer needs a new home – update 14th August 2013

The CTRF Trustees are delighted to report that this puppy was taken in by Trustee Susan Weinberger and first assessed for health issues and has now gone to an excellent new home, a new owner who has had Cairns for many years and is well known to the charity members. We are very pleased this little girl has found her forever home.

Here she is playing with her new “sister”

Fudge

Fudge has been rehomed – update 24th June 2013

Fudge is a timid Cairn Terrier girl who was an ex breeding bitch with Many Tears Rescue near Carmarthen, Wales. We are really glad to hear from Many Tears that she has now been rehomed and has settled in well with a loving family. This is what her new owners have said:

“Fudge has been with us for just over two weeks and has really grown in confidence. She enjoys a fuss and a stroke and in return gives lovely kisses. She has learnt to relax and has made herself at home. Fudge gets on well with our four dogs and our son’s two dogs and loves to play. She is good with the three cats and tends to ignore them and she has been sleeping next to one of them, at night, on my bed. It took a while to get her to come out for walks, but she now walks with the other dogs, as long as she is at the back. She is still nervous of cars and other pedestrians but she is getting more confident every day. However, Fudge travels well in the car and is not scared. Fudge has met family members and our grandchildren and though nervous at first soon settled down and was happy to be fussed.”
Wishing good luck to Fudge, and a fabulous new life.

Bellarina

Rafa can be considered successfully rehomed. Well done to Trustee Wendy, his new owners … and Rafa.

The new owner, a lady called Catherine, has been updating CTRF via our Facebook page, and she says this about Jock:

“I think I was sold a puppy with Jock (now known as Rufus). He may have been completely freaked out when we collected him on Saturday afternoon but my goodness what a difference a day makes! He patrols the garden, steals toys from the Jack Russell, barks at passers by, and comes for a fuss and a stroke. He is still a bit jumpy but he’s a lovely boy.”

Catherine also met Fudge while she was there and we have added her comment about Fudge on her own details.
