Apply to rehome me Buddy Bichon Frise / White Male 4 years, 0 months My reference is [DO23557-Dog] About me Woof Woof!! My name is Buddy, I am a 3 year old Bichon Frise. Sadly I have very limited sight which does not hold me back too much but I can get a little spooked if people or other dogs approach me too quickly. Apart from this I love my walks, cuddles and a good play. I would like to be the only pet in the home but I can have doggie friends out and about as long as they do not rush at me as that can scare me. I have been in rescue for quite a long time now as I will need to go to an experienced adult only home, I struggle to give up items that I find and I do not like sharing food. I would also need someone to be at home with me for most of the time because I get upset when left alone. It will take me time to settle into a new home but I will be worth it if you give me a chance. I am a sweet little boy who needs time to adjust and build trust with my new humans. Could you offer me the new home that I crave and need? Back to Dogs Looking for HomesAbout me Woof Woof!! My name is Buddy, I am a 3 year old Bichon Frise.

18-04-26 Cloe is a very worried little lady who has come to us from a breeding environment and is not yet comfortable with being handled. It’s clear she has had very little experience of kindness, so she can be quite flighty and may panic if approached too quickly and can choose to make the wrong decision if pushed out of her comfort zone.Cloe settles quickly once she feels safe and has already begun making lovely progress. With her favourite member of staff she is already showing her funny and affectionate side and is happy to approach him, kiss his fingers and will even do a little excited dance. With patient, understanding adopters who can appreciate why she may feel scared or defensive and support her as she builds trust, we believe she will settle in and start to come out of her shell.She will need a calm and quiet adult-only home with no visiting children and with adopters who have experience of scared ex-breeding dogs and who are willing to give her the patience, kindness, and time she needs to truly thrive.Cloe is already starting to approach you slowly on her own terms and so will need plenty of time, gentle encouragement, and extra TLC to continue building her confidence. She absolutely loves the company of other dogs and will need a kind, calm, and confident resident dog in her new home to help guide her as she adjusts to home life.As she has never lived in a home before, Cloe's adopters will need to be kind and understanding as she settles in and learns all about home life and new skills like house training. She doesn't yet walk on a lead and harness and will need to practice around the home and garden once she is more comfortable with being handled.Cloe has had 7 teeth extracted at the time of her spay as well as an inguinal hernia repaired. She had a lump on her right upper eye lid that has been removed.Cloe has a travel document.Cloe has been given the Gift of Life by Carol Unsworth

CP is a lovely boy who needs an extra special home.CP came into our care from one of the local pounds, due to having a sore leg they were unable to rehome him. He had xrays and assessments with our vet and also got a second opinion, but it was discovered that the bones in his leg was deformed and causing him great discomfort and due to him not using the leg the vets said the only option was amputation. He has recovered well from the surgery and it hasnt held him back one bit. He is infact much happier and care free now.CP is great with other dogs of a similar size, currently used to living with three other dogs with no issues, but he can find larger dogs overwhelming.He is absolutely fine with cats and could live with a cat no problem.We were told that CP is child friendly, but we think he would be best in a home with teens and over as he can get worried at times, and he can also bond hard with some people and not always want to share the attention (this has caused him to snap at some people on occasion). He spends most of his day currently snuggled up under the duvet in my mothers room. He has become her shadow and loves being close, often spending the night snuggled up right against her back or face. So im sure he will bond with the next person just as much and very quickly become your best friend. He hasnt shown signs of seperation anxiety.He is good in the house, but might need some house training as he settles into a new home and routine, he currently uses puppy pads if we are not home. He has never been noisy or destructive whilst within the home. He is also used to a crate, but we dont use it very often.A secure garden would be required for his safety.

She can settle alone so could be left for up to 2-4 hours, this should be built up gradually once she has had time to settle into her new home. Dora will need to meet her adopters a few times prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet her within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

Holiday originally came to us from a breeder. She was adopted and found a lovely home, but sadly it wasn't the right match for her and the resident dog wouldn't accept her, so she is now back in our care.Holiday is a very scared girl who is overwhelmed to find herself here and clearly hasn't had much socialisation before. She finds human interaction quite difficult at the moment and is very hand-shy, so she will need a patient and understanding home that can help her come out of her shell at her own pace. Holiday will run away when you enter her kennel and isn't keen on being picked up or handled. She finds this so frightening that if she feels pushed beyond her comfort zone, she may react by nipping or biting out of fear. She did bite her previous adopter once when she became overwhelmed during handling.Since returning to us, Holiday has begun to make some really encouraging progress. She is starting to trust people more each day and has even allowed gentle harness fitting, which is a big step forward for her. We have also been working on very gentle touch, always entirely on her terms. When she chooses to come and sit beside you in her bed, she is supported to take things one small step at a time, building confidence through calm interaction and positive rewards.Holiday is also beginning to show more of her personality. She is often one of the first to come forward for a treat, and she has even started to wag her tail. While it may seem like a small thing, for Holiday this is a truly special milestone and a lovely sign that she is beginning to feel a little safer.For this reason, Holiday will still be looking for a calm and quiet, adult-only home with no visiting children. She will need adopters who have experience with scared ex-breeding dogs and who will allow her to settle slowly, with no pressure or expectations.Holiday finds comfort and reassurance from the company of her canine friends and will need at least one other kind and confident resident dog in her new home. She forms close bonds with other dogs and gains confidence from being alongside them, often relying on them for reassurance and guidance.Although she spent some time in foster and was adopted for a short period, she had never lived in a home before this, so Holiday will still need to learn all about home life, including house training. She will also need to gradually build up to wearing a harness and lead, continuing at her own pace as her confidence grows.Holiday is getting there, but she needs time, patience, and understanding to continue progressing. It is felt that she would benefit greatly from being in a home environment, where she can build a close bond with her adopters and continue her journey in a quieter, more consistent setting.Holiday is a very special girl who will need someone willing to go slowly and earn her trust, but for the right home, the rewards will be incredibly meaningful. There is always someone out there for every dog, and Holiday is patiently waiting for hers.Holiday has been given the Gift of Life by Ellie Worron

Lily May has come to us from a breeder and is now hoping to find her own special forever home. When she first arrived, she was a very worried little girl who was feeling quite overwhelmed by her new surroundings. Its clear she hasn’t had much socialisation before, so she will need lots of love and TLC as she settles into her new life.Lily May did move briefly to a foster home, where she began to find her paws and settle into home life. Unfortunately she didn't get on with one of the female resident dogs in her foster home so she has had to come back to the rescue where she has settled back in well. She has since shown that she can be picky with which female dogs she likes to share her space with and so for this reason she will now be looking for a home with a male resident dog as she much prefers the company of male dogs. She was in foster with a cat and so could possibly be homed with a dog savvy cat.Lily May will be best suited to a calm and quiet home with adopters who have experience with scared ex-breeding dogs and who will help her settle in at her own pace.She is still very timid, but is taking everything gently in her stride. She has already accepted a harness well, and is beginning to walk on a lead. Although, she will still need to continue gaining confidence while out and about. She meets other dogs well on walks and is even getting comfortable greeting their owners as well, showing just how brave she is!As she has never lived in a home before, Lily May will still need patient and understanding adopters to gently introduce her to everyday routines. She will need support with learning about house training, however, she was already starting to do really well with this in her foster home.She remains sensitive to everyday noises and movements, but is beginning to cope better with gentle reassurance and support. Lily May does tolerate being handled, and this will continue to improve as her trust develops.Lily May is a sweet little girl who simply needs patience, love and reassurance. With the right family by her side, she will continue to grow in confidence and become a devoted and loving companion.She is currently being treated for an ear infection.
