This UK organisation's sole purpose is to find new homes for Border
Terriers that, for many different reasons, need to be re-homed.  We
are known to some people by our acronym BTW and to others as Border
Terrier Rescue.

 

13TH JANUARY UPDATE

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

 

 

Welcome to 2010 and our January update.  We hope you had a wonderful Christmas break, received loads of presents and that all BTs out there had a balanced diet and no upset tummies!

We take this opportunity to announce the opening of our new email address for all you BT fans out there who wish to participate in our BTW Calendar 2011: calendar2011@borderterrierwelfare.org.uk  I know, quite a while yet but the search for photographs for the BTW Calendar 2010 started only in June-July last year and the deadline was only a few months after that; so this time we want to give you all as much time as possible to take your photographs and email them to us.

Do keep your questions coming for Viv and Debbie at their usual email address, which are as follows:

For Viv  doggrooming@borderterrierwelfare.org.uk

For Debbie dogtraining@borderterrierwelfare.org.uk

Also from Border Terrier Club is an announcement from their Treasurer Euan of a Raffle, which profits will go equally to the Border Terrier Club and Border Terrier Welfare.  The first prize will be 'Sudden Encounter':

Christmas story 2009

A girl in Hereford was sent a five month old puppy by Courier from her Father in London. She already has three cats and so realises that she doesnt need a terrier.  She has a fourteen year old collie.  Before now Daddy has sent her a pony by courier but this she managed to persuade the courier to return to sender.  As the less than proud owner of this five month old is planning to take her children to Disney Land at the end of January as well as having an unsuitable hosuehold she is grateful to BTW who have had no trouble in finding a new home for the puppy though the snow is providing problems to date.
