DOGS AT THE SANCTUARY:

Rusty was picked up by Fabio. He was in the middle of the road on Mellieha High Street.
He was wearing a blue collar, in good condition, very friendly, which makes us think he is a lost pet.

HamishGONE TO GERMANY

Hamish has been with us for 4 months. He was found in the Bellevue area of Mellieha.
Full of character, good on the lead and would be ideally suited for a home with limited space.

Spike
Spike is a golden Labrador. He is approximately 3 years old.
He is a friendly chap and is very obedient and is good on a lead. Spike is affectionate and a typical Labrador in temperament.

Goldie
Goldie is a Labrador cross bitch. She is around 2 years old. Goldie is an energetic character when she sets out on her walk, but settles down once she is on her way.
She arrived at the sanctuary with Sherry.

Ben
Ben is the gentleman of the sanctuary; he is a German Pointer, who was rescued by the government. He is a well mannered, affectionate dog who gets on with anybody four legged or two! He is obedient and knows how to sit and stay. He is around 6 years of age.

Candy
Candy is around 2 ½. She looks a little shy sometimes but she has a lovely nature and enjoys being made a fuss of without getting too boisterous. She is sociable with other dogs.

Max was picked up Christmas Eve 2004 and was about 12 weeks old.
He has a lovely nature, is good on and off the lead, and well socialized with people and other dogs.

Coco is a chocolate Labrador cross about 18 months old. He is a recent addition to the sanctuary, having been rescued from the Mosta area. Good on the lead and is an amiable chap with people.

Cappy
Cappy is a coffee and cream cross with a beautiful nature. He’s very friendly with dogs and people. He is approximately 12 months old. He shares his pen with Limo and they are great pals.

Limo
Limo was one of our puppies and is about 12 months old. He again has a lovely nature mixes well with other dogs, and loves people. Limo a tallish sleek dog hence is name, with possibly a hint of Labrador!

Buster
Buster was thrown out of a car in the South of the Island. He is a German pointer cross, who does not pull on the lead and could safely be walked by a child. Very good natured.

Sheba HOMED
Sheba, Tal Kacca cross was thrown out of a car at Ta’ Qali (February 2005) which left her traumatized. With love care and attention, she has grown into a happy healthy friendly small dog.

Noah
Noah is our mascot dog. He was found in a discarded oven along with some other puppies. He has lovely markings and is about 12 months old.
Noah has a great character and enjoys both dog and human interaction.

Sherry
Sherry was brought in from the Paola area. She is approximately 2 years old, with primarily black and white markings and tan points. Good natured and lead trained. She is Sam’s pen partner.

Sam
Sam was rescued from the Mghartab area, and had an injured leg. X rays showed no damage and with rest he is now back to full health. He is a medium sized dog, who is good natured and easy to handle.

DannyHOMED
Danny a pure bred Dalmatian about 5 years old. He was found in the Paradise Bay area, at the beginning of summer. Obviously a lost or abandoned pet as he is perfectly house trained and good on the lead.

Mandy

Mandy was found in distress at Ta’ Qali, with her puppies dead in a bag by the side of the road. She is about 18 months old; she is a lovely natured dog, but does not like raised voices.

Tom
Tom was picked up in the San Gwann area in very good condition. We guess he is about 18 months to two years old, and would need a fit person to help him enjoy his walks as he is very energetic, but would make a lovely family pet.

TammyGONE TO GERMANY
Tammy is one of the newest arrivals. She is around 9 months old and was found on the Santa Maria estate. She is a friendly nice sized family dog. At some stage she has been well cared for as she was found in good condition.

Trixie
Trixie was brought to us by the animal ambulance with 3 very young puppies.
She is a beautiful natured small dog, who would make an ideal companion for a mature couple/person. She is very obedient on the lead.

The Valletta girls Katie and Penny

These two gentle little dogs were as you can guess found in Valletta. They surprised us with 16 puppies between the two of them. They come as a pair, so would be ideal for a mature owner who has the time for two ladies who enjoy the quiet life.

Polly Image to follow.)

Polly was found wandering on a farm. The animal rights group was asked to collect her and she was brought into us in September. A young dog who has settled quickly.

Bubbles

Bubbles was a regular face around Mellieha as a stray for long time until he was knocked down and broke his leg. It has now been pinned and plated, but is still very fragile.

Fly
Fly was picked up outside the sanctuary; he was hanging around with the workman, hence his name! His is primarily Labrador and around 3 years old. A strong friendly dog that would need a garden, and plenty of exercise.

Maddison

Maddison had been living a rough life at the Cirkewwa ferry terminal and was brought into the sanctuary as she was in a poor state. She is a big strong dog; beautiful natured but would need a home with a large garden. Lead trained and obedient to the call.

Sophie
Sophie is a more mature dog age but acts much younger than her years. She was in a loving home for many years, but sadly her owner passed away, and she’s been with us 8 months. Not a bad bone in her body, and surely she should enjoy the rest of her life in a caring home.

Pretty Image to follow.
Pretty arrived at the sanctuary with four puppies. She was a little shy at first and a little bit worse for wear. She is now much healthier, and has a lovely nature. She also talks to you! Although a little timid when she goes for her walks with time and love her confidence on the lead will improve.

NickyHOMED

Nicky is a young dog that came to us after being knocked down and left in the road. It has taken her quite a while to trust us and although she is still very timid on the lead, she enjoys running around with the other youngsters when they are let out for a romp.

Olive

Olive was found tied to the sanctuary gate on the 30th October. She is in immaculate condition and has obviously been well cared for. She is around 12-18months old. We think she is either mother or sister to Tina. She has a very good nature and loves being made a fuss of.

Tina

Tina arrived at the sanctuary gates with Olive on 31st Oct. Hence our assumption that she is related to Olive. They obviously know one another. She too is in tiptop condition, and also around the same age. She is a little more timid than Olive. She walks perfectly on the lead, and is well behaved.

TwiggyGONE TO GERMANY

Twiggy was picked up form Mellieha's Borg Olivier Street at around 10pm on the 30th November 2005. She was horrifically undernourished. A most docile and beautiful nature, she flourished with loving care.
