Winston is about 10 years old and blind. He has recently come into rescue from a situation where he has been badly neglected. His coat was so matted it had to be clipped under sedation :(

I met this little lad this morning, and despite all he's been through he hasn't got a bad bone in his body. He seems to love everybody he meets, and has settled with the other dogs in his foster home with no problems at all. :wub:

Huge thank you to Greyhounds R Us (http://www.greyhounds-r-us.co.uk/index.htm ) for taking this lad on and finding him a foster home. Everything crossed now that he can find a quiet retirement home where he can put the past behind him

Oh my fancy letting him get in such a state :angry:

He certainly looks a lot better now :wub: He is very Bedlington like, not much cross in there I think. How big is he, do you know? Do you want me to ask Beddy rescue if they can help, I'm a member of 2 beddy clubs. What area is he being fostered in?

If it weren't for my mean, mean hubby I'd have him like a shot :- "
 
oh , bless him . dosnt he deserve a super home . Good luck with him :luck:
 
well he certainly looks and will be feeling much better after that clip :wub:

hope he finds a forever home soon :thumbsup: :luck:

Interesting you say that - his previous owner said he was pure Beddy, but of course it was hard to tell what he was under all that matted coat. I thought his head and jaw weren't quite right for a Beddy but it's not a breed I know at all well so you may well be right. :)

Thank you for the offer to contact Beddy welfare - as he's now in the care of GRUS and in a very good foster home that he's settled in I doubt they'd want to move him, but I'm sure they'd appreciate any publicity Beddy welfare could give to help him find a home. He's being fostered in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

He really is a lovely natured little lad, I'd have been happy to foster him myself but I live very near his previous home, and for various reasons it is much better that he's out of the area. :- "
 
Poor little fellow - I cannot understand how his owners could have let him get into such a terrible state. :rant: :rant: He must feel so much better now.

Good luck in finding him a new home. :luck: :luck: He looks such a sweetie. :wub:

Poor little man, what an awful mess he was. He does look a very handsome boy now though. :wub: :luck: Hope he gets a nice new loving and caring home, he really deserves one.
 
Good luck, poor little man. :luck: :luck:

How can people do that :rant: to an older dog too!!

I hope he finds a nice place to spend his years, glad to know he is still happy after all hes been through :thumbsup:
 
Without any prompting at all from me, my mean mean hubby :- " asked about Winston today. He says he's been thinking about him all day (w00t) Then he said, but we're NOT having him. No I said, we're NOT.....reverse psychology I think it's called. A few more days of me saying NO should do it :- "

I do hope someone else offers to give him a home tho, I don't really need another dog atm. But that's never stopped me before :b
 
Lol, I like the reverse psychology plan, sounds foolproof to me :lol:

I'll be waiting for news....... :- "
 
hope you can persuade him,fingers crossed :luck: :D reverse psychology,hmmmm ill have to try that! :- "
 
That's us out then, it says he needs a quiet household. to be really honest I think we have too many dogs & cats for him to cope with. Hebe & Scrumpy would be fine but I'm sure Rafferty would bully Winston. He can be quite a dominant dog in the house and poor Winston wouldn't even be able to see him waiting to pounce :(

As much as I'd love to offer him a home I know ours probably isn't the best he could get.

Please let someone take him soon :wub:

Bedlingtons are such lovable little dogs (when they are not being little :rant: s that is)
 
That's a shame, it would have been lovely for him to go somewhere where I would see some updates on him. I really am very taken with this little lad, but likewise I think our household is too busy for him :(

He'd make a fantastic companion for an older person who had lots of time to spend with him - he's so affectionate he'd repay any attention tenfold :wub:
 
Winston has now found a brilliant home in the North of Scotland with doggy friend and a beach on his doorstep. His new owners were prepared to drive all the way to Gloucestershire to pick him up!

I'm over the moon for this little lad :D
 
awwww what a great ending!!! so pleased for him :huggles:
