Saffy was lucky to survive last summer having been found in a near-to-death state. You only have to meet Saffy to appreciate just how special she is..but she has had a hard life. She is adores people especially the men in her life. She is frightened around children; gets guardy if put behind bars either in a car or closed in crate. She can be left, she isn't barky, and she is oh so very loving to all. She loves visitors and adores the garden. We discovered in the summer that despite her near complete recovery physically her hips had been affected. She has now been diagnosed with hip dyspepsia. She therefore should only have short walks and should avoid stairs. She has been on a diet to optimise her weight to help her hips.

Saffy has been fostered happily with Dee and John in Kingston. She however has not been mixed with their other 3 large dogs as she gets excited around dogs. We are looking for a foster or permanent home for her as an only pet. Children free. Where she can have companionship ideally sleeping on the bed or next to it; no stairs and easy access to the garden. She can not be insured but there isnt any treatment required just pain killers when she has a bad day.

Saffy is very very special we cant stress this enough. She needs a retirement home where she receives the company and love she offers in return. She needs a quiet life and she'll make you laugh and you'll have full conversations with her as she is a bit of a chatterbox with her little staffie snorts and huge smile.

Many other dogs that need fostering

If you are considering to foster of one of these lovely dogs then please read the section here and complete the fostering form if you meet the rescues criteria
Rescue Remedies.myfastforum.org :: Fostering Application/ Questionnaire and email it to lynne@rescueremedies.co.uk

This rescue asks that their fosterers live within 1 - 1/2 hours of the Gatwick, Richmond & Farnham areas as this means they are in reach of the rescues vets should the dog require treatments, spay/neutering & vaccinating.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this.
