Are you right for Aslan?Aslan is a 3-year-old Chow Chow and a full-time super sniffer! This independent chap may come across as aloof, but he truly likes companionship and enjoys having company. He could have walking friends and may even be able to live with another like-minded dog. Aslan could live with secondary school-aged children, but he does find it difficult to settle when left alone. Because of this, he will initially need a home where his leaving hours are kept to a minimum. Adopters with experience of the breed, or those who are willing to learn about the unique characteristics of Chow Chows, would be ideal.Is Aslan right for you?Aslan enjoys pottering around and exploring his surroundings. He really is your typical Chow! We're still getting to know this handsome boy, but one thing we do know is that he would love a Chow-savvy home where his unique personality and breed traits are understood and appreciated.

Are you right for Coco?Coco is a beautiful 3-year-old Chow Chow looking for a patient and understanding home where she can feel safe and secure. She loves exploring new surroundings and enjoys happy zoomies on her walks, regularly checking in with her handler as she goes. Once she knows and trusts someone, Coco is affectionate and enjoys plenty of fuss and attention. She also has a playful side and particularly loves her teddies and stuffed toys. Coco is fearful of unfamiliar people and has snapped in the past, so she will need adopters who are willing to take things at her pace and commit to multiple visits at the centre to build a strong bond before adoption.Is Coco right for you?Coco will need an adult-only home with no children or visiting children, as she has shown fear-related behaviour around children previously. She will need to be the only pet in the home as she can be reactive towards dogs but has shown that she can walk parallel with them. Her adopters should ideally have experience with the Chow Chow breed or be confident in managing and working through reactive behaviours using positive, reward-based training. Gentle, gradual introductions to new people will be essential to help Coco feel comfortable, and her socialisation will need ongoing support. In return, Coco will make a loyal and rewarding companion for someone willing to invest the time, patience, and understanding she needs to thrive.

Meet Criss Cross, a big-hearted, sensitive lad who has come to us from a breeder and is slowly learning to find his confidence in the world. When Criss Cross arrived as a worried soul, needing extra patience, understanding, and gentle care.

He required slow, careful introductions to people, places, and experiences while he started to understand his new surroundings.While Criss Cross can still be a little shy when meeting new people, once he feels comfortable his affectionate side really shines through. He actively seeks out fuss and cuddles and has become quite the cuddle bug, often trying to return kisses to the people he trusts. He is learning his manners well and responds nicely to calm, consistent guidance.Criss Cross is growing in confidence with his harness training and now enjoys daily walks beyond the rescue. He has even started greeting some people on his walks for a hello and perhaps a treat or a fuss. He can still feel a little unsure if people are behind him, but gentle encouragement and reassurance help him relax and continue exploring the world around him.He has also started learning about kennel cleanliness, with staff helping him practice good toilet habits to make the transition into a home life easier for him in the future. When enjoying some quiet time on his own, Criss Cross loves exploring his toy collection, especially anything involving treats or food puzzles.Criss Cross would prefer to be the only dog in the home so he can fully relax and enjoy all the attention for himself.He will need a calm, adult-only home with experienced adopters who can continue helping him build confidence at his own pace. He also appreciates having a quiet space at mealtimes where he feels safe and secure. Criss Cross will need a home without cats as he is overly interested in them.Criss Cross is a truly gorgeous, sweet-natured gentle giant with so much love to give. With patience, understanding, endless bum scratches and plenty of tasty treats, he has every chance to flourish into the loyal and devoted companion he is meant to be.Criss Cross will need more than one meet and greet with his prospective adopters to allow him time to build a bond and feel comfortable with them before being adopted.

Crumble is a lovely lady who came into our care from a breeder, searching for a fresh start. When she first arrived, she was very worried and unsure of the world around her, but with time and patience she has begun to settle beautifully. Crumble is now much less fearful of us humans and has really started to come out of her shell, choosing to engage more with staff members and showing curiosity about her surroundings. She seems to be gaining confidence each day, which is wonderful to see.While she can still be sensitive and appreciates having her space respected, it’s clear that Crumble simply needed time to feel safe. With gentle reassurance and plenty of TLC, her true personality is beginning to shine through. She is a gentle soul who responds best to calm, kind interactions and slow introductions.She would be happiest and thrive best as the only dog in the home, where she can enjoy all the attention, settle more easily into a routine, and build a strong bond with her new family.As she has never lived in a home environment before, she will need patient support with house training and learning everyday routines. She will need a home without cats as she is overly interested.We are looking for an experienced, adult-only home where Crumble can continue to build her confidence at her own pace. A quiet household with understanding adopters who are happy to let her take things slowly will allow her to truly flourish. With the right people, time, and lots of love, Crumble will make a wonderfully rewarding companion.On arrival, our vets noted that Crumble had a Grade 2 luxating patella. During her time with us she has shown very intermittent lameness, mostly only seen when she’s getting up from laying down for a long time. She was sent for x-rays which showed potential damage to her left cruciate ligament, as well as hip dysplasia in her right hip. She is currently managing very well with rest and pain relief, and we will work on building correct muscle tone to support her as well as slow introductions to controlled exercise and physio.

Cuba is a very sensitive and shy boy who is still finding the world quite overwhelming, but who is making lovely progress as his confidence slowly grows. Cuba arrived with very little life experience and can be easily worried by new situations, so he needs a calm, gentle approach and plenty of time to build trust.As he gets to know people, Cuba is becoming increasingly sociable. He may need a couple of meetings to feel comfortable, but once he trusts you, he will happily approach with his tail wagging and enjoy quiet, gentle fuss. He particularly loves relaxing in his bed with trusted company nearby and finds calm strokes very reassuring, often drifting off to sleep while being gently fussed. As his confidence grows, his playful side is beginning to shine. He adores playing with toys, cuddling, giving kisses, and will happily bounce around like a lunatic when he’s feeling safe and excited.Cuba has never lived in a home before, so everything will be new to him. He will need experienced, adult-only adopters who understand nervous dogs and are happy to let him settle at his own pace. Patient guidance will be needed as he learns all about home life, including house training and walking on a harness and lead. He has recently started harness training and is beginning to enjoy it, but this will still need to be continued slowly and positively, starting with gentle practice in the garden. Once out and about, Cuba enjoys taking in the world at his own pace and loves sniffing everything in sight on his walks.Cuba would prefer to be the only dog in the home, so his adopters will need to be around enough to keep him company and provide reassurance as he settles.He will need a home without cats or small furries as he does have a prey drive.He is quite fond of using his voice and enjoys a good grumble rather than barking, which is very much part of his character. Beneath his worried exterior, Cuba is a sweet, gentle boy who has already formed strong bonds with familiar staff and is learning that not all people are bad.Cuba will need a calm and understanding home where his boundaries are respected and he can have his own safe space. With kindness, patience, and the right support, he has the potential to continue blossoming into a truly rewarding companion.Cuba has had a bilateral entropion repair.Cuba will need more than one meet and greet with his prospective adopters to allow him time to build a bond and feel comfortable with them before being adopted.

Gloria is a gentle soul, who is proving every day just how resilient and loving dogs can be.Gloria came into our care as a stray in a very poor condition. She had significant fur loss, sore skin and badly infected eyes that required urgent veterinary attention. Despite everything she had endured, Gloria remained a sweet, gentle and good-natured dog throughout her treatment.Since arriving at WAW, Gloria has been receiving the care she needs and is currently thriving in a foster home. She has recently undergone surgery to improve the comfort and health of her eyes and face (hence the pictures), with a further minor eye procedure already booked. She is recovering well and will soon be back to looking and feeling her very best.

Can live with: Adult only home - No petsVery smart and highly trainable, with a bouncy side.I am reactive to other dogs and I can pull on the lead. I have a very good side to me that would be best used in a working role. I would be perfect for the police or armed forces.I will need a very experienced owner who I can bond with, ideally a working companion.Someone who is around most of the time so I can be their very best friend and work colleague.I love playing and running off steam in the paddocks with the people I trust."Once Hazel knows you, she is a really loving dog. You certainly would feel safe and secure with her around. We feel she needs a job and would be perfect for the police or forces etc. She has had some training and responded really well on a recent assessment from a dog trainer for the prison services - well done Hazel!"

Strays Without Borders

Gorgeous Jockey has spent more than half of his life in the shelter. Despite this, he has kept his playful, silly nature. He is always up for a game and will keep you smiling with his funny antics. With his fluffy coat, he’s also one of the most handsome dogs around! Jockey does have a stubborn streak and likes things his own way. He can be wary of strangers and sudden movements, most likely due to being mistreated by previous owners. He isn’t a fan of the vet (no surprise there!), but once you earn his trust he is a joy to be around. He loves running and playing at the dog park, especially with his female friends, since he’s the only boy in his group. Jockey feels safe in his little kennel spot, and he would do well in a calm home with a relaxed atmosphere, not too many visitors, and a laid-back family. He can live with another dog, but will need an adult-only home. Jockey has been neutered.

She seems a little different to a ‘normal’ Chow in that she has bonded with all my family - visiting and enjoying time with all. She is a VERY SPECIAL girl who deserves a fantastic home.”
