The UK Lancashire Heeler Club
The Lancashire Heeler Club Breed Rescue is run by Mrs. Enid Lord from Preston, Lancashire who has been managing the Lancashire Heeler rescue programme for 20 years. Dogs need re-homing for a variety of reasons, often where owners can no longer look after them due to moving into sheltered accommodation or due to illness. An experienced breeder of the Lancashire Heeler for many years, Enid fully understands the unique temperament these dogs have and spends some time herself helping the dogs to adjust and settle.
Enid takes great care to fit a Lancashire Heeler's temperament and circumstances to potential owners and homes so that the best outcome is achieved for all concerned.

Can you Help? - 10th May 2008 - Can you Help?
Well here is some news. I have 4 dogs in. The 3 previously on the web page didn't appear, the man never got back to me .
I had a phone call this morning from a vet nurse to say she had 3 Lancashire Heelers coming in to be put down, so I was on a mercy mission to get them.
They have come in with tee shirts with their names on, coats, harnesses and Christmas suits.
I have spoken to the owner, a divorce is confusing him but they are lovely dogs and we would like a home for them together.
I have also homed Gizmo, a 10 year old Lancashire Heeler. He was quite upset but has gone to live with 2 JR's, lively but very sweet so hopefully he will settle.
All for now I hope
Enid

News from Enid - July 2007
Since March this year the following dogs have been re-homed:
"Drift", a 2 year old castrated male has been re-homed in Derbyshire.
"Scooby" was with us for a few days, was castrated and microchipped . A little 'tetchy' for his first home, I was convinced he would be fine but needed an experienced Heeler owner. He has been placed with a lady who already has a rescue bitch and a puppy from me previously and has now settled very well in his new home.
'Dixie' came in during May and has settled very well with a retired schoolteacher in the North of the country.
Henry has just come in but I have a home lined up for him with a couple retiring to Scotland.
I have also just been notified of a 9 month old dog and will be looking for a suitable home for him as soon as possible.
Success Stories
Bracken
I'd like to thank Mrs Lord for all the work that she does for Heeler Rescue and how she helped us.
We have had Heelers since 1990 and lost Arthur in February 2006, after a number of complicated illnesses. I found Mrs Lord number completely by accident via a US web page. Our little Heeler bitch was missing her mate and Mrs Lord made it possible for us to give Bracken a home.
Bracken had been living in Newcastle and needed to be rehomed for a number of reasons, not least that he wasn't very fond of little children.
We picked Bracken up in Preston on 9 April 2006. He was very quiet in his travelling box on the back seat as we brought him home to Essex.
He fitted in immediately, a bit bossy with the little bitch but they have sorted it all out. We contacted his previous owner and have maintained regular contact and become good telephone friends, finding that we had quite a lot in common, and hope to meet in the coming months.
I've attached some pictures of Bracken during his first few days with us to show how quickly he settled in and one of his yesterday in the snow.
He is very amusing and has some eandearing ways and expressions. He likes watching television when not out in the garden chasing birds and playing with his mate. He and my son are now also great mates.
Thank you Mrs Lord for all your hard work.
