South Lincolnshire's Jerry Green Dog Rescue is searching for a home for Dory

Could you offer up a home to the beautiful Dory?

Dory is a 10-year-old crossbreed who has a lot to give.

She loves people and although she is older she still enjoys going for long walks and adores playing ball.

Dory would love a home with a sofa so she can spend the evenings cuddled up with you.

She would also like to be the only pet in the home as she likes to be the centre of attention and is happy to be left for up to four hours at a time.

If you think you could give Dory a loving home please call us on 01205 260546 or email us at slincs@jerrygreendogs.org.uk

Santa Paws was a howling success

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who attended our Santa Paws event last weekend.

All of the dogs had a great time meeting Santa Paws on December 8 and receiving an early Christmas present.

We would also like to thank everyone who donated gifts and prizes towards our tombola and raffle.

Without your kind donations the event would not have been nearly as successful.

And finally, we would also like to thank the Sutterton Veterinary Hospital and the team for kindly providing us with a venue to host this event.

If you are interested in attending more of our events, why not opt-in to receive regular updates on our website? Go to: www.jerrygreendogs.org.uk to sign-up.

Training tip: How to tackle the problem chewers

Last week we looked at chewing and what it means for our dogs.

This week we are looking at providing alternative items for our dogs to chew on.

Dogs that have a high motivation to chew things are difficult to stop and punishing them tends to cause them to chew away from you in places you won’t notice, rather than reducing the chewing.

It is advisable to provide suitable objects for your dog to chew on.

Natural chews such as tubas (dug up from tree roots) are great for dogs that prefer chewing on wood as they do not splinter and are safe for dogs’ teeth.

Antlers are useful for dogs with relatively soft jaws as they can chew and nibble on them for weeks without cracking the antler.

Natural, long lasting chews like stag bars and stuffed marrow bones can provide hours of chewing in addition to a tasty snack to keep your dog busy.
