Fawley

After moving into my own house I was able to consider having a dog, something I have wanted for several years. I had been looking after friends dogs for many years, in particular, staffordshire bull terriers. I contacted Guildford and District after looking on their website.

I explained my circumstances, where I live, opposite a large wooded common, and that I wanted a dog that would be happy coming to work with. The staff were very helpful and after a home check I was introduced to Fawley.

Arrangements were made for me to visit Fawley at is home to reassure his owners at the time that he was going to a loving and caring home.

As with all adoptions it took a few weeks for Fawley to settle into his new home but he soon got into a routine. He has made good friends with a mates staff, Freddo, who he walks with several time a week, they even swim together if Freddo's feeling brave.

All considered it has been a very successful adoption and my thanks go to Alison and all the volunteers at Guildford and District staff rescue for helping find the perfect dog for me.
