Welcome to Terrier Rescue

Terrier Rescue

We are a UK based special rescue for Fell/Patterdale Terriers and Lakeland & Irish Terriers. We help other terriers especially Jack Russell Terriers and Stafforshire Bull Terriers. We actively help cross breeds, ex-kennel dogs or older dogs and ask you to be open to helping these too.

Before you decide on a terrier you can read our breed profiles in Terriers in Deed! to find out a terrier is the right dog for you. Details of our current dogs are in Terriers in Need and details of our adoption processes are in Important Information.

Sometimes peoples circumstances change and you can no longer care for your beloved terrier, or offer them the home they need. We are able to help you find a loving and suitable new home for your dog. Details of how we can help can be found in Important Information.

Terrierrescue exists to help terriers find their right(ful) homes. As an additional outcome certain charities who are struggling to finance the crucial work they do are supported. All donations go to support other homeless dogs, desperate for a rescue space or their forever homes. Our charities are:

CARA (Coordinating Animal Rescue Agencies) Christine and her voluntary drivers who save dogs from Welsh Council pounds being unnecessary euthanized, but vac. them and transports to rescue centres in Wales and England. www.caraanimalrescue.blogspot.com The backbone to rescue work and struggling constantly to pay petrol & vet bills.

Dogs in Distress (DID) a network of volunteers who photograph and assess dogs in a Dublin pound and saves their lives transporting them into foster. Then neuter and transport dogs thru to rescue centres. Desperate for financial support. http://www.dogsindistress.org
Limerick Animal Welfare Saves so many dogs and has horrific cruelty cases which cost them dearly when it would be so easy for them to give up on those precious lives! Trying to fund raise for a sanctuary as well as pay hugh vet and kennels fees http://www.limerickanimalwelfare.com

Rescue Remedies our local rescue helping dogs find their forever home often spending time in our homes being assessed; rehabbed and treated so ready for their new lives. We take on dogs who are difficult to home; wouldn’t do well in kennels; Irish dogs who would have needlessly lost their lives. Rescue remedies also pays for the costs of getting terrierrescue dogs ready for their homes e.g. neutering. http://www.rescueremedies.co.uk

Many Tears Animal Rescue a couple of heroes in Mid Wales with a band of committed volunteers who take dogs from the puppyfarmers (and Welsh pounds) often in horrendous conditions and meet the vet costs, offer them perhaps the first love they have ever received and prepare them for forever homes. http://www.freewebs.com/manytearsrescue
