Dorset Dog Rescue

Rehoming dogs throughout the UK

DDR would just like to say that the cruelty cases on this page were rescued and saved by Martina and Brenda over in Ireland, without these guys in there corner we would not be able to help any of them.

Our Dearest Dolly

This is Dolly and she is quite well known as Brenda has had her about 5 months we have been waiting till she well enough to travel. This is quoted from Brenda "Retriever cross, 7mths old, female and a nice young girl. She came in
with 10 family and friends.
Unfortunately, Dolly has a fractured pelvis (an old injury) so ...she will
need to be confined for a while to help her heal.
Dolly is improving but the vet reckons she will need another 6 weeks
confinement. She is an affectionate girl and would love to be running
free.





We sadly lost Dolly on 23rd July as well as her pelvis problem she sadly also had a brain tumour and she started going down hill. DDR cannoth thank Brenda, Christine and The Bretts for giving Dolly so much time and love in her short life.



This is Jack and he is a fantastic example of a rottweiler. He is 4-5 ish??. He can live with male or female dogs. He has great recall and he loves to play ball. He came in with quite a few lumps so they have been removed whilst he was castrated and sent of for tests. He was left on the roadside a month ago he was collapsed as so thin and weak he couldnt walk. An older couple took him in and fed him for a few weeks before handing over to the pound. he is still thin and needs building up.

Here is a video of Jack

Do you remember Jack the rotty we took in a month or so ago, he was to weak to walk and malnourished. Well after a few weeks tlc at DDR and his lumps and bumps all removed he is getting stronger everyday. He is amazing in every way cant fault him.

Violet is such an adorable little lady, despite the severe mange, sores everywhere, very long nails, cut pads on her feet so she cant walk on her back leg and being terribly underweight...... she is a very affectionate little girl. At only about a year old she has clearly not had the best of lives.... Jen her foster mum is taking care of all her ailments and building her back up into a nice healthy proper lurcher....We will keep site updated with her pics as she gets better...

 




This is Lilly she is approx 6-7 years old. She has had a vile life and now she is a bit older and covered in tumours she has been dumped tied to a tree. This poor girl has mange and tumours on her which we will fix after a week of good mange treatment, good food and love to build her up a bit. Her hair is so thin and she has awful big kennel sores on her rear where she has lived on concrete floors. She came in on July 7th 2010.
Lilly is being looked after by Tony and Alex Brett who are stars, love you Mr and Mrs Brett.




This is Lucy aka Becky she came into us from Ireland with the worst mange we have seen. She had burns and the mites just would not die was awful and she was yelping in pain as she just couldnt reach all her itches. When Lilly shaved her to the skin to give her some relief the mites were running all over her body. It was a long process getting Becky better put Lilly Davies and Elizabeth Berger did and she went off to her new home.



This is Abraham... He is an older Golden Retriever Gentleman and is winning hearts where ever he goes... He is a lovely boy and is appreciating all the attention he is recieving now...
He has his fair share of problems though... His coat is very matted and stinky at the moment but we are working on it slowly... He has severe muscle wastage on his rear legs and can barely stand... He is toppling over when he is up for too long...
His teeth are ground down nearly to the gums...
It makes me so sad, Abrahams life could have been so very different... He doesn't even have the capability to shake when he's wet...
This is a very sore open wound on his neck...he is on his antibiotics and will be having this lump removed on Friday...




After a few weeks with DDR




Abraham had been with DDR and we made him all better then  days after this pic was taking he died off a brain tumour on 27th November 2009 RIP poor old Abes. And a huge thankyou to Christine Gillingham for making his last days special ones she is a special lady.



This is Sammy (previously Moses) who was found roaming round rural Ireland in a right old state. He could barely walk as he was so malnourished has no muscle in his body and back legs keep caving in. He weighed a measley 10 kg and was one of the weakest dogs I have had. We had to shave him as he stunk and was very greasy. And the most beautiful natured dog in the world.

Sammy now he has found his perfect home here at DDR with me Julie. He is now 17kg and looking amazing.


Sammy passed away on 21st January 2010


This is little Tramp who was thrown away in the bin at just 4 weeks old.


She was incredibly skinny and had a skin infection... Tramp spent the first week here wrapped up in a my sons wooly hat,hardly moving, she was so tiny and frail... 
Tramp showed that she was made of strong stuff and kicked and fought her way through her infections and in no time she was bouncing around like a normal pup...
She really is full of character and is one of those pups that touched all of us with her wonderful personality... 
Tramp is now in her forever home, with the most outstanding family who are treating her like a princess, despite her being a naughty little madam!
