Sidley's Story: Sidley and his litter were a welfare case. Sidley was the runt of the litter of 13. Rescue Remedies offered Sidley a Rescue place. Sidley was homed for 8 months but returned. Sidley is now neutered, chipped, and fully vaccinated. Sidley came in to our Rescue Centre nr Gatwick whilst awaiting his new family.

If you are interested in rehoming one of our dogs, the first step is to complete and submit our ONLINE HOMING QUESTIONNAIRE. We do not discuss dogs without a homing questionnaire submission. You must be ready and we will only contact you if we have a suitable dog. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process.

Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum Adoption Donation is £250 (£400 for pup under 1 yr old). 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 in particular. 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.

Sidley's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal an evolving picture and positive skills as they build trust.

Sidley has come back to us at 10 months old as he and the eldest child became nervous of each other. Sidley is a slender build Staffie sized boy.

Sidley has had a good foundation attending puppy classes every week for 7 months and mixes well with dogs and has grown up with the resident elderly Staffie. he is just beginning to explore himself as an adult. Meet people very well and easy meeting dogs.

Sidley and I went for a social walk yesterday with Kissy. He’s definitely full of beans and ready to show you what a grown up he is but also sits when told to and after a while settled well into the walk. His enthusiasm and love of life is very obvious but so is his willingness to learn and the basic commands he already knows.

I walked Sidley on Thursday. What a happy, bouncy boy. He was very excited to see me, but a chicken chew got his attention and he was easy to harness. We went for a long walk to burn off some of his energy- when walking it was at a good pace, but we had many stops for sniffs etc. Sidley was very interested in the world around him, and seemed fascinated by other animals; horses, sheep, dogs, chickens…. but non-reactive throughout. Sidley tried to climb up me once, but a very firm ‘NO’ and he got the message.
Really enjoyed my walk with this little character

I walked sidley for the first time today, made friends and distracted him with squeezy cheese to harness him up as he was very excited/ jumpy- did seem to respond when I asked him to sit. Walked quite nicely but he did get a bit zoomie at times and grab the leads in an excited manner- a firm no and he stopped. He loved some scratches too.

So Sidley is the absolute bomb, he is the chefs kiss of puppy’s (don’t get me wrong all of our RR’s dogs are absolutely fabulous and all it takes is for someone, that right kind of someone to come along, for me Sidley he has it all I
I’ve been walking Sidley since he arrived back a few weeks ago and I’m not gonna lie he has stolen my heart he is just so beautiful, he is feisty, cheeky and oh so up for an adventure, but he is also rather unsure of the big old world around him, he gets rather shocked when told what a good boy he is (I don’t know why because he’s pretty perfect) and all he really needs is a whole lot of love, guidance oh how he will thrive
So as I say Sidley has stolen my heart, we’ve enjoyed some lovely social walks and honestly this boy is pretty amazing with his ability to learn and open himself up to new and sometimes scary things Sidley is in absolute awe of some of the bigger and more experienced dogs, but it’s so wonderful to see him just relax, put his trust in his walker and take on on every new adventure with a smile and new found confidence our first walk was with Hugo RR and he pulled throughout to keep up with his new idol, his face was just a picture, so proud of himself, this was my first walk with Sidley and the day I fell in love with this boy and since then we’ve walked with some lovely social dogs, yesterday we walked, very slowly with darling Rocky RR and again Sidley learned to just slow everything down this boy he is learning every day, he is soaking it all up, he loves, loves, loves a cuddle, I really, really love this young pup

Sidley is a lively boy for sure. A little excited/nippy coming out of his kennel but happy and good natured. Likes chasing a ball and let's you know if you hold it for too long!

Sidley joined us for a social walk with Dylly and Sasha, walked by Matt. He still displays puppy-like energy in the kennel, over-excited and raring to go. But once out, he settled and happily followed Dylly and Sasha.
He was keen to stay close to Dylly and enjoyed the company. He needs a little guidance but has a big heart.

Walked sidley today for the first time in ages, Charlie helped me get him out but it was all very smooth. He loved a run round the paddock, rolling around in the grass and chasing after a ball. Also enjoyed a good sniff.

I got Sidley out his kennel on my own today and once I gave him a semi long lasting chew it was smooth but he is still quite jumpy without. He had a unique way of playing with the boomer ball today as shown in the videos below haha but he seemed to enjoy himself! Loves to throw himself on the floor and roll around which is so cute. He knows lots of commands and has lots of energy.
