Chester's Story
We adopted Chester in 2009, where he was living with Maureen
He was the first dog our family had owned, he settled in straight away…he loves spending the days on his bed and in the garden when its warm enough.
He loves going on walks to Kinver and local woods, he is a very calm and gentle character…….until he sees a cat !!! Still working on that!
We feel very lucky to have Chester and cannot imagine life with out him. He is definitely one of the family
Pictures show Chester on his first holiday with us at the sea side in Wales which he loved….chasing Frisbees and swimming in the sea and we cannot wait to take him back this year
Thanks to all at Forest Dog Rescue

Ted & Sadie's Story
Just wanted to say thanks for letting
us give Ted and Sadie a second chance in life. Ted didn't have a very
good start as he broke his leg! We didn't know if he would lose it ,
after his operation to save it it turned out OK.
Jodie's Story We first met Jodie when she
was just 18 months. She was really shy and nervous but sooo adorable, it
was love at first sight. She was a thin little whippet with kennel cough
then, but just after a few weeks she was healthy and happier She was the best thing that ever happened to our family and we thank you always FDR from Jodie's Family (woofs and wags!)
Rufus' Story
We had
been volunteering at Lem Hill Kennels to help the dogs get some
exercise and some extra affection for around a year before we fell
for Rufus.
We had
been walking him for a while with very little affection in return,
he basically let you walk him for a few minutes then let you know
that it was time to go home, but then we started to notice that he
was very noisy if we took out any of the other dogs before him,
afterwards wasn't a problem but he always wanted to be first, then
the walks got a bit longer and one day he just jumped up and licked
us both, that was when we knew he had to come home with us.
Rufus
had spent over 2 1/2 years in kennels and his story is that when he
was found he was very overweight and very grumpy, now he
is a healthy happy hound, although he does like to sleep a lot, his
favourite game is football and he absolutely loves his belly being
tickled.
Thanks
FDR and Lem Hill

Donny's Story I've been looking on the
website and noticed the request for photos of ex Forest Rescue dogs.
Please find attached a few photos of Donny who we fell in love with on
Valentines day this year on a visit to Lem Hill kennels. When we met him
he was called Drummer and was a quiet, nervous boy who we all took to
straight away. We were told he had been rescued off an estate in
Kidderminster around Christmas and as you can see from the first photo,
he was very sorry for himself.
Jessy's Story With thanks to Amy and John We rescued Jessy a Beagle Cross in July 2007, she
was being looked after by Maureen in Far Forest.
Blue's Story Blue came into Forest Dog Rescue as a thoroughly naughty young man! He had driven his owner to distraction
with his antics, he would run around the room using the furniture as
spring boards as performed a "wall of death" . When Mary our
If you have an ex Forest Dog Rescue Resident and would like us to post his picture here and/or tell his story please drop us an Email, we would love to hear from you

It
cost over £1,000 but it didn't stop us as we loved him. Then we decided
to rescue another dog, her name is Sadie. We love them both and they are
both very happy. We have a touring caravan and they always go with us,
they love their life with us. Thanks again from Martin and Pauline
Hurdiss
Just a few months on he is a totally different dog and everyone who
meets him totally adores him...even the cat! I took him on the Forest
Dog Rescue Walkies for Life in March where we raised £100 for other dogs
looking for a new home. He loves being around people and other dogs and
is so loving and sensitive. If anyone is thinking about rehoming a
rescue dog, just look at what a bit of love can do...the photos say it
all! 
uick
to find the nearest river/lake/puddle for a swim, no matter how cold it
is outside and she will play ball until her legs are shaking from the
effort! All in all Jessy is a very loving and very loved dog, and we are
so glad to have found her, I think she feels the same!!
Welfare
Officer picked him up he was a dog out of control, he came to stay with
Geraldine our Dog Behaviour Specialist, she saw what an affectionate and
intelligent dog he was, he just needed boundries , rules and plenty of
fun exercise. After a few weeks Blue was ready to go onto the rehome
list , the very first caller interested in him was Jackie. She listened
to his history and was keen to carry on the training, when Jackie, Paul
and their family came to meet Blue it was love at first sight. Blue is
now a happy well behaved dog and we were delighted to see him at our
recent K9 event. Thank you Jackie and Paul for giving Blue such a great
second chance home
