Are you right for Eddie?Eddie (aka Baby Hippo) is a fun-loving two-year-old Mastiff cross with the purest heart and the waggiest tail in the world! This gentle giant would be happiest as the only pet and would thrive in a home with minimal canine company. He can live with secondary school–aged children who are confident around larger dogs and is happy to be left for up to four hours once he’s settled. Eddie loves spending time with his favourite people, showing off his playful personality, and brightening every day with his affectionate, charming nature.

Meet Jet – Our Brave Little Survivor Jet is a 1-year-old crossbreed with a story that truly tugs at the heartstrings. He came into our care via the police with a horrific tail injury, and understandably, during those early days of recovery he was unsettled and erratic. He’d clearly been through a lot. But as his tail has healed, so has his spirit Now, Jet is a completely different dog. His playful personality has blossomed and he’s showing us just how wonderful he really is. He absolutely loves his toys, will do just about anything for a tasty treat, and really enjoys getting out and about on his walks especially when he can carry his favourite squeaky toy along for the ride! Most of all, he is unbelievably affectionate – he greets everyone he meets with so much love and enthusiasm. Jet is still working on his lead manners, but he’s already making progress here and will continue to improve with consistent training and guidance. With a little more time for his tail to fully recover and some ongoing positive training, he will make an incredible companion. • Could live with older, dog-savvy children • Committed adopters willing to continue his training and support his recovery Jet has shown us that with patience, care, and love, he truly shines. He’s overcome so much already – now he just needs a forever family to help him write his happy ending.
