The Canine Lifeline is a small dog rescue based in Wales.We rehabilitate & find homes for sighthounds

The Canine Lifeline is a small, independent dog rescue based in Hertfordshire. We are run by volunteers and depend entirely on donations from other dog lovers to carry out our work. We exist purely to rescue, rehabilitate (where necessary) and find the best homes for dogs needing our help. We specialise in sighthounds but we will help other dogs where we can. Along with the dogs we help in the UK,

we are currently working with rescues in Spain, Portugal and the Middle East where the situation for dogs is particularly dire. You can also find us at https://www.instagram.com/thecaninelifeline/

When you want the dog to show people their good side and this is their response 🤪😅 showing their weird side that looks a tad scary as a snapshot 🤣

Winnie has had a really lovely time this Christmas - one of her favourite people came to stay and brought her yummy treats, new toys ... and a Santa hat for Christmas Day. Winnie doesn't like to seem ungrateful but she does actually like the toys and food somewhat more than the hat. And, to be honest, she would quite like to stop wearing it now 🤣. Do these Humans not realise that Christmas is over and it's almost next year?!!

Don't worry Winnie - we do know Christmas is over and that it's New Year's Eve - the hat can be put away with all the lights and the decorations, ready for next year - although we really hope that you are in your very own home next Christmas...

We just wanted to pop in today to say Happy New Year to all you lovely people who support us in whatever way - so if you like and share our posts or help us in any way at all, thank you so much and we wish you all a very Happy New Year - let's hope 2025 is a good one! 😀

Winnie enjoying the calm after the storm. Thank goodness it's over! Storm Darragh hit Wales really hard over the weekend. The dogs coped very well although some of the Humans were a bit scared with 90 mph winds, fences down, trees down, roof tiles flying around and power outages.

Winnie has been glad to get out and about again after having to stay indoors to stay safe for a few days. She's having fun in the fields and learning new cues which we hope will help her find her forever home. Christmas is coming - could Winnie get the gift she most wants - her own home?

To make contact about this lovely girl, please email [email protected]. And please share for Winnie.

Winnie's favourite things :-
9. Practising recall for the Human. Not bad eh? :)

Winnie is a smart dog and is very responsive to training. Her recall is pretty good but it's not 100% yet in relation to things that she's anxious about. So we practise inside the house and every time she goes out - even when we don't need her to come back. This is because you can't expect a dog to learn what you are teaching them when they are in the situation in which you need them to perform the behaviour. And you can't expect them to perform the behaviour in the situation if it hasn't already been practised and reinforced.

Winnie's doing really well. She would love it if she had her own home and adopters who would continue and develop her training. We would like that for her too. We really would.

Please share for Winnie and email us if you think you might be the right home for her on [email protected].

Winnie's favourite things :-

8. Being very, very silly ...

Winnie has a fantastic sense of humour - she likes to make the Humans laugh and does so every day. Here she is flashing her wonderful teeth, just waiting for someone to notice her.

We would love it if someone out there would notice her too. She's been waiting for her own home for 19 months. She's happy enough, but staying here is not a long term solution for her. She's 3 year's old, 20kg, fit, healthy and affectionate with people she knows. She's worried by other dogs so she needs to be the only dog in the home which would ideally be somewhere quiet and calm . Patient, dog savvy people who can offer her lots of love would be perfect.

Please email [email protected] and share for Winnie. Her home is out there somewhere...

Winnie's favourite things :-

7. Belly rubs. Winnie is a very cuddly and cosy cub and takes every opportunity to ask for belly rubs from her humans. She is one of those funny, wriggly dogs that will just snuggle up to you on the sofa and roll over onto her back, making herself as comfortable as possible.

Winnie is really good company. She loves to go out for walks and to run around but what she really, really likes is just being with you - by your side, whatever you are doing.

Please share for Winnie. We love it when you "like" her posts but if you could share across your friends and groups, it will really help us to find her forever home. Email [email protected].

Winnie's favourite things :-

6. Snuffle toys :-

One of Winnie's favourite humans came to visit over the weekend. She brought Winnie some toys - just for her - and a snuffle book which Winnie absolutely loves. Winnie often has snuffle mats and boxes as part of her enrichment plan, so her lovely new book can now be added to the list of things to keep her occupied and happy. It's amazing how simple kibble is so attractive when she finds it herself!

Winnie is a food oriented dog which makes reward based training much easier. She is smart and learns quickly so it's a real pleasure to work with her. We hope that whoever finally adopts Winnie will have as much fun with her as we all have here.

Winnie still needs a home. Please email [email protected] to discuss this lovely girl. And please share for her - it really does make a difference to these dogs. If a dog is not seen it will not be adopted whis is a great pity.

Winnie's favourite things :-

5. Sunbathing! Contrary to popular belief, we do get sunshine in Wales :) and when we do, it's just spectacular! Winnie absolutely loves just lazing around and basking in the warmth of the sun as it streams through the window.

Isn't she lovely? This really sweet dog is 3 years old, pretty, clever, funny, playful but calm in the house. She's looking for her own home with someone who will offer her lots of love and cuddles and who will accept the fact that she currently struggles with other dogs.

Please share for this girl and email us on [email protected] if you would like to discuss what living with Winnie would be like.

Winnie's favourite things :-

4. Digging! somewhat self explanatory, our gorgeous girl loves a good old dig and she's now an expert in her field (groan...)

Digging is great for dogs - it's a natural behaviour which is enjoyable, entertaining and allows them to use a number of their senses. Of course, like most activities, it can become obsessive so needs to be managed plus they need to be offered a place to dig which isn't going to get hem into trouble with anyone.

Winnie's lucky - in her foster home, she has lots of space to dig and make a right old mess without annoying anyone at all!

What else does Winnie like? Find out tomrorow ... meanwhile, please share to help us find Winnie's forever home. For more information about this stunning girl, please email [email protected].

Winnie's favourite things :-

3. Yak milk bars ... she just loves them! Like most dogs Winnie does like chewing - it's good for her - so to make sure she is chewing something that isn't dangerous for her and doesn't make her fat in the process, we offer these to her on a regular basis. The noise they make is a bit scary, but she's enjoying herself immensely!

More of what Winnie likes tomorrow - meanwhile, please share for this lovely girl to help us find her a home of her own - she has been waiting while and really deserves the love and security of a permanent homw.

You can email us on [email protected].

Thank you for sharing.

Winnie doing two of her favourite things -

1. Chilling on the sofa with one of her humans
2. Tootling about in the field with one of her humans
Watch this space for more of Winnie's favourite things ...

Winnie is still waiting very patiently for someone to give her a chance. She is 3 years old, pretty, funny, playful and affectionate with people she knows and trusts. She doesn't like other dogs although we think that over time she could accept a calm, tolerant male in her life. She needs an experienced home with patient, calm people who won't give up on her at the first hurdle.

It's hard to find new things to say about Winnie - regular visitors to this page / our supporters know all about her. We just want her to have her own home, her own humans so she doesn't have to be separate from the family for so long every day.

If you are even a bit tempted to apply for Winnie, please email [email protected] to arrange a conversation about what she needs and how you might accommodate that. And please share for this girl. She's waited long enough.
