Enzo's Story: Enzo's owner lost his home so both found themselves homeless. With nowhere for Enzo, his owner went and spend the day in a vet who tried to find Enzo an emergency rescue place. We were the only Rescue who helped, with one of our volunteers transporting Envo into safety.. Rescue Remedies offered a Rescue place saving his life. Enzo is now neutered, chipped, and fully vaccinated. Enzo was in boarding kennels near Gatwick whilst awaiting his new family.
If you are interested in rehoming one of our dogs, please complete our ONLINE HOMING QUESTIONNAIRE. It is always the first step in our rehoming process. Upon application, you must be ready to take in your new dog within seven days. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process.
Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum adoption donation is £175. This supports our continuing rescue work and is non-refundable. We exist solely due to the goodwill and donations of our supporters and volunteers. Our dogs need supportive families who will offer them patience, time and tolerance whilst they settle in their new homes. Our Rescue offers all our dogs back-up for life.
Please note: Dog laws have changed, with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers. Our Rescue asks new owners to keep their dog on a lead in public spaces and manage and support its encounters with new dogs and people, so as not to place the dog's life at risk. Destruction and Control Orders are commonplace nowadays.
Enzo's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal a different picture and positive skills as they build trust.

Re: Enzo Mastiff DofB 2008 Guildford Kenns
Enzo is completely stunned to find himself in kennels, it's not an environment he is used to and he's a bit scared by the whole experience. Once I'd convinced him I was alright and we'd have a lovely time together we had a gentle plod around the island in the sunshine. I adore older dogs so an hour with Enzo was quite the treat. He's big but gentle, doesn't want to be bothered by other dogs, likes a slow potter and appreciates a bit of encouragement and reassurance.
I'm obsessed with that face He's a special gent xRe: Enzo Mastiff DofB 2008 Guildford Kenns
Darling Enzo.
Kennels are indeed a big shock for this gentle old soul but he is trying to make sense of it with our help.
Our first walk together today and slowly did it.
It took a wee while for Enzo to realise that I really wanted to be his friend but boy, what an honour when he came round to wanting to be close to me.
I am used to big but gentle dogs and they really are very special to hang out with.
As well as a plod in the sunshine I also took Enzo to the paddock for a pootle and that’s exactly what it was.
He had no interest in playing with a ball but we just sat together in the sunshine.
He made little puppy whimpers and wagged his tail like mad at his kennel mates when they got close by.
A majestic soul who so deserves a comfy sofa to lounge on at his time of life.

What a privilege to meet Enzo yesterday. He is such a gentle boy, a bit sad and confused to find himself in kennels but ready to make new friends. Claire and I enjoyed a walk around the woods with him, Enzo plodding along taking his time to have a sniff around and get his bearings.

Re: Enzo Mastiff DofB 2008 Guildford Kenns
Lucky me had the gorgeous Enzo on my walking list today. It was the first time I’d met him and he was a little reserved when I entered his kennel but a couple of bits of sausage soon sorted our introduction. Enzo is very confused as to why he’s ended up in the scary place and every time a dog barked he jumped bless him. Enzo is the most darling gentle boy. He walks very well on lead and just like to slowly plod along taking in the sites and smells. There is still plenty of life in the old boy yet though and he went for a lovely long walk today albeit at a slightly slower pace.
I really cannot sing Enzo’s praises enough he is just belissima and at his age he really doesn’t deserve to be in kennels. Hopefully his new special human will come very soon and offer this beautiful gent the retirement sofa he deserves.Re: Enzo German Wirehaired Pointer x DofB 2008 Gatwick Kenns
Enzo went for a walk with Louise this morning, accompanied by myself and Frankie(dog) Enzo was totally chilled out about Frankie joining his walk, even when Frankie wanted to sniff his bum. He just plodded along at his own pace, leaving Frankie to do his own thing.

I took Enzo to do a fundraising session at Pets at Home and he was a real star. We had our table set up near the entrance and checkout which had a constant stream of members of the public and their animals passing in close proximity. Enzo coped brilliantly with meeting dogs of all sizes including lots of puppies who just wanted to play and also lots of children who wanted to pat him. He was a great ambassador for our rescue and he did us proud.

Enzo enjoyed sharing his walk with Buster this morning.

Very happy chilling in the garden but insisted on a towel to sit on
