Temperament: He is a real gent very friendly with everyone he meets and just perfect in a home environment. Carlo loves to play with all our volunteers, he just loves a run around in the paddock and showing off his zoomies! He is a good boy and listens well, he knows how to sit and enjoys catching treats. Behaviour with other dogs/ cats: Carlo is great on his walks but is not socialised with other dogs and although not reactive he will react if they come into his personal space. He would benefit from a capable experienced handler for this reason. Here at the rescue he walks great on his lead with all staff and has begun muzzle training. Any other info: Carlo needs a secure home with a garden fence/wall 6ft and over as he can jump high, or supervised access only. Type of home needed: Secure and safe home with an experienced handler. Pet free.

Age1 year
BreedStaffordshire Bull Terrier x French Bulldog

She is currently thriving in a caring foster home, where she’s been enjoying all the comforts of home life. Daisy can be a little shy when meeting new people at first, but once she gets to know you, she becomes incredibly affectionate and loyal. Her confidence is growing every day, she’s started to show her playful side, loves her toys, and enjoys zooming around the garden.Daisy would do best as the only dog in the home, where she can continue to build her confidence around other dogs at her own pace while out on walks. She is house trained whilst in foster and is comfortable being left alone for short periods. Although she has experienced some travel sickness in the past, she is improving steadily and becoming more settled in the car. She could live with sensible children aged 14 and over who understand how to give her space when needed. A quieter home environment would suit her best, helping her continue to blossom.Daisy does have some ongoing medical needs, which we would be happy to discuss in more detail with any potential adopters.Daisy is a truly sweet and gentle soul, and whoever gives her a home will be gaining a very special companion.

Age7 months
BreedStaffordshire Bull Terrier x Cane Corso

Meet Flynn – a sweet-natured boy with so much love to share Flynn is a handsome 7-month-old Staffy x Cane Corso who has already come an incredibly long way in a short space of time. Having been born and raised in one home without experiencing the outside world, everything is still very new to him and at times, a little overwhelming. Despite this, Flynn is making wonderful progress and is showing us just how gentle, loving, and eager to connect he truly is. Because of his limited early experiences, Flynn will need a quiet home and would be best suited to living with older, dog-savvy children who understand how to interact gently and respectfully with him. He will also need to be the only pet in the household. He is still learning about the world around him and will benefit from a calm, predictable environment where he can feel safe. In time, once he has settled and built up his confidence, we feel he could really benefit from positive, controlled interactions with calm and friendly dogs belonging to family or friends. Flynn is looking for a family who:

Honey, a 7 years old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier x Mastiff available for adoption from RSPCA in Surrey

Honey

Age7 years
BreedStaffordshire Bull Terrier x Mastiff

Honey joined us after a change in her previous owner's circumstances meant they could no longer provide the care she deserves. She is a truly affectionate girl who greets people with a wagging tail and an open heart. A connoisseur of toys—particularly the soft, plush variety—Honey is at her happiest when she has a squeaky friend to carry around.Honey is a polite girl who previously lived with another dog, so she could potentially live with another calm, neutered canine companion, provided they pass a successful introduction, but is not a requirement as Honey would also enjoy being the centre of attention. Because she appreciates a predictable environment, she is best suited to a household with secondary school-aged children who have experience living with dogs.While Honey is sweet-natured, she can a times be physically strong on the lead. Her new owners must be confident and physically capable of managing her during walks. She has shown great cleanliness in her kennel, though she may require a patient "refresher" in house training as she settles into a new routine. She travels well in the car but may need a little time to regain her confidence with travel.Honey’s past involved being left alone for longer than was ideal; consequently, she requires a home-based owner who can initially provide company before gradually building up her "alone time." A private, secure garden is essential for her play and relaxation.Honey can have anxiety during clinical exams, she will need to be muzzled for all veterinary visits to ensure she feels safe and secure. Honey did very well at the vets on a recent visit, so once Honey has built a bond with a vet her anxiety is a lot less :)

Are you right for Laila?Laila is a stunning girl who has been described by her foster carers as “a big, soppy, adorable soul”. She loves nothing more than spending quality time with her favourite people and is looking for a home where there’s always someone around to keep her company, as she does find alone-time challenging. In time, once she is fully settled into her new routine, her family could gradually build up the times they leave her. Laila will need to be the only pet at home but she's got more than enough love to give. She could live with sensible secondary aged children who can understand her body language and respect her space around food, as she prefers to eat in peace. Laila is happy having short bursts of exercise and would like a garden of her own to zoom about in.Is Laila right for you?Sweet Laila is an incredibly affectionate girl with a loving and gentle nature. Her favourite thing of all is having cuddles! However, she does also enjoy all the best parts of dog life: food, snoozing on a cosy bed, making friends, occasional play time, and going out for a walk. While Laila doesn’t need excessive walks, she can initially be strong on the lead and when seeing new people or dogs, so needs adopters who are confident in managing her occasional strength.

Are you right for Paddy?If you’re looking for a dog who brings energy, laughter, and constant companionship, Paddy is the one for you! This 2-year-old Patterdale is a lively, affectionate boy with a big personality packed into a small, busy body. He adores people, thrives on attention, and will happily enjoy every bit of fuss you have to give. Paddy is looking for owners who are not going to leave him for more than a few hours at a time initially but we are confident with some tasty snacks he would settle when left alone. He must be the only dog in the home, although he may enjoy calm walking companions out and about. He is looking for a home with older teenagers, where his excitement and quirks can be understood and managed calmly.Is Paddy right for you?Paddy is pure joy in motion. He’s a proper character who seems to find fun in absolutely everything, whether that’s a game of tug, a sniffing adventure, or simply sitting close beside you. He loves interactive play, thrives on enrichment, and will keep you entertained with his cheeky, expressive nature. True to his Patterdale roots, Paddy is a natural sniffer and absolutely lights up when given scent-based games and things to investigate. He’s a big foodie and especially enjoys crunchy treats, often making his own little “chewing commentary” that will make you smile. Most of all, Paddy loves being close to his people. Whether he’s leaning in for cuddles or watching the world go by with what almost looks like a grin on his face, he just wants to be part of everything you do. With the right home, plenty of engagement, and lots of love and exercise, Paddy will be an endlessly entertaining, affectionate companion who brings warmth, laughter, and life into every day.
