Meet Cyndric, a charming one-year-old Chinese Crested Powderpuff with a bright, playful personality. He’s a very clever little dog who is easily trainable and loves learning new things, especially when toys and play are involved. Cyndric gets on brilliantly with other dogs and really enjoys their company, making him a fun and social companion.Cyndric is looking for a savvy home where someone is around most of the time, as he doesn’t cope well with being left alone. He will need to live with another friendly dog to help him feel secure. His new family must also understand the coat care needs of a Powderpuff, including regular brushing and professional grooming. With the right home and care, Cyndric will truly thrive and bring lots of joy to his future family.

BreedChinese Crested

Rupert has had an unsettled few months and through no fault of his own is now looking for his perfect forever home that will give him all the love he deserves. Rupert is a happy soul who you wouldn’t think was classed as a senior! He still has a lot of energy and really loves going out for walks – he enjoys sharing his walks with other dogs however we think he would be best on his own in the home as he sometimes gets a little too excited. Rupert can be a little bit aloof when you first meet him, but he is definitely won over by food and once he knows you enjoys a fuss. He could live with children over 14, we have only seen friendly behaviours around people but with him being older we think he would rather live with older kids. Whilst he enjoys being out and about in busy places, he also likes a quiet area to sleep when he needs to. He could have younger visitors. He is good being handled and picked up for things like the vets, being put in the car, having a harness on.

BreedChinese Crested

Sid and Silver were recently surrendered to us after their previous owner could no longer take care of them. They are currently in kennels and getting used to the routines, staff and volunteers.Silver is definitely more confident and it’s taking Sid a little while to warm up. Both dogs are extremely bonded so ideally we would like them to go as a pair.Both boys are not neutered but we will organise this to be done as soon as they are in a home. Currently they are doing really well. Enjoying treats and learning to trust.We believe them to be house clean but we are unsure if they are crate trained.We would just love the boys to get out of kennels and into a home. Weather that be a foster or adoption. Sid and Silver need a secure garden with 6ft fence minimum and no gaps at all.As with all dogs on going training will be needed.Sid and Silver can live with other dogs, we have not cat tested them and children 8+ please.
