THINK BEFORE YOU BUY A DOG

Peter Beach founded Beached rottweilers in 2000. Beached Rottweilers was the forerunner to the Rottweiler Rescue Trust. Peter has owned rotts for 32 years (he is old) and always takes to live with him the dogs that are not easy to rehome. At present he owns Byron, a 7 year old male with very bad hip dysplacia. He also has Polly, who is not good with other dogs. Peter runs a small wholesale food business. He is semi retired, so walks the dogs 5 or 6 days a week, answers the phone, does home checks and does the housework too! Peter also has a keen interest in wine! Peter is a fit, young 62, but his feet are 362! Peter has tried desperately to find a photo of him when he was young - and they say women are vain! All he has come up with are these two - both very nice but bearing very little resemblance to the guy we all know and love!

 Wasn't he a cute baby? And don't you think he looks a bit like Tony Blair in the other one?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shelley Worth has owned rotts for 26 years and has been involved in rott rescue for 24 years. Shelley ran her own rescue, rehoming the rottweilers that went into Battersea Dogs Home for 16 years.

  Shelley is an animal behaviourist and still works part time for Battersea dogs Home.  Shelley lives with Peter, Byron and the new addition, Polly. You can see photos of Polly on the Happily Rehomed 2009 page.

 

 

 

 

 

Lorraine Day has been owned by rottweilers for 20 years, and at present lives with Dennis, and the irrepressible Tara! Lorraine is very interested in training and socialisation and spends most of her spare time walking her dogs (and the rescue dogs) doing home checks and fostering some of the dogs in our care. Lorraine earns her living teaching ballet - so it just goes to show you don't have to be big and butch to have your rottweilers under control and nicely behaved. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Freda Osman is a valuable part of our team. Freda trains the dogs in our care who need some training twice a week. Freda is the very proud owner of Tia, a rottie x whom she took from RRT years ago, Sadie, a 6 year old rottie bitch, and Bosley, whom she recently took from RRT. Sadie is always known as Maggs or Maggot due to her disgusting habit of picking up anything  she can find when out on a walk, and eating it! Freda used to work in Police kennels, training some of the police dogs they had in. Have a look at Freda doing some training with Tia, on the Living with Rottweilers page......

 

 

Debbie and Ali Sykes come up every Sunday and walk the dogs. Debbie also helps out on Fridays - bringing along her Bella, a five year old bitch. Debbie is an avid Facebook contributor, who fell in love with Red, our nottweiler. (Debbie is on the right in the photo)

Lynn Green also comes along on Sundays to walk the dogs. She makes us all laugh with her boundless energy and enthusiasm. (Lynn is on the left. Debbie works for EDF energy, and Ali for British Airways. Lynn works in the city, and is desperate to have a dog of her own, but realises that it would not be fair as she works full time at present - one day though!......

 

Diane and Michael Rogerson are owned by Lulu and Dozer - both RRT rescue dogs. They live happily with the family's two cats and the twenty to thirty rabbits in the rabbit rescue that Diane runs. Diane and Michael have always helped out with fostering and home checking, and will always take in one of our "Golden Oldies" and give that dog love and care for the rest of its life.

 

 

Frances and Peter Reynolds own two rotts - Izzy and Kaiser. They have had Izzy since she was a puppy, and took Kaiser from us a few months ago. Frances and Peter come to the kennels and walk the dogs two or three times a week - and bring their own dogs with them to help keep the kennel dogs socialised with other dogs. Peter has also set up a Facebook site for Kaiser, and regularly updates it with little videos of the kennel dogs and photos of both his own dogs, and all the other four legged friends Kaiser and Izzy have made.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vicky Spooner has two rotts - JD and Tess - both RRT dogs. Vicky helps out with walking the dogs and doing home checks and collecting dogs whenever she can. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Debbie and Mark Haffenden have Lady, and Baloo,

both are RRT dogs. They help walk the dogs. They can also always be relied on to help out with the stand at shows, and fund raising is Mark's special project!! 

 

Judith and Edward are the proud owners of Bella, a four year old rottweiler, several Cavalier King Charles spaniels, three cats and some guinea pigs! Judith works as a practice manager at a doctor's surgery, and as Edward works from homeit falls to him to do the "hands on" looking after during the day when they are fostering one of our motley crew! Judith and Edward have taken on Taz, an 8 year old male, who they felt fitted in with their tribe, and needed a forever home. Our thanks to them for making Taz a happy boy.
