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 had very little formal handling in his past, and early on could be grumbly or anxious when unsure. 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.

Crumble is a worried 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.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 se 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.Crumble has a previous bite wound inside her ear, which is currently being treated and our vets have noted that she has a Grade 2 luxating patella. This doesn't cause her any issues and may improve with gentle exercise as she builds muscle.

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.

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.

Maxis Mates

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!"

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.

On better examination under GA it was clear that she needed both her upper and lower lids correcting with an amount of loose skin removed as well. She was under anaesthetic for 3 hours and has come through with flying colours thankfully.​She is eating and bright and in a few days will be more comfortable than she has ever been.​This is another example of BAD BREEDING and dogs being dumped with very costly medical needs ...​ ​​

Chow Chow Golden 5 Years (approx) Ref: DC030 Kyta is a 5yearold Chow Chow who has been with a wonderful foster family and is now ready to find her forever family. Here is what her foster family have said. She is a beautiful, intelligent and independent girl looking for a home that understands her unique personality. Once she’s settled, she is affectionate, calm and quietly playful, with a lovely gentle nature when her boundaries are respected. She is fully house trained, sleeps well through the night, and can be left alone for short periods. Kyta walks nicely on the lead, although she can pull when excited, and due to her prey drive and recall still being a work in progress, she will need to be kept on lead whilst out and about. She enjoys one to two walks a day (and prefers a liein over early mornings!). Kyta is a clever girl who already knows commands like sit and loves enrichment activities such as Kongs, puzzles and scent work. She’s very food motivated and enjoys learning new things. At home, she enjoys her own space just as much as spending time with you. You’ll often find her relaxing in the garden, watching the world go by, or curled up somewhere cosy indoors. She travels well in the car and is confident around traffic and everyday noises. Kyta could live with another calm dog with the right introductions and would be best suited to a home without cats. Due to her nature, she could live with children of secondary school age who understand how to give her space and approach calmly. She is good with visitors when introductions are done gently and at her pace, and she has no history of resource guarding or destructive behaviour. Kyta does have a highmaintenance coat that will require regular grooming, especially during moulting season, along with routine ear and eye care. Her new family will need to be committed to keeping her comfortable and healthy. Could you be the home Kyta is waiting for? I walk nicely on a lead I could live with children of secondary school age I can be left alone for short periods I may be able to live with another dog I'd prefer not to live with a cat I'm quiet but full of love I need to learn how to play DOG Chow Chow Golden 5 Years (approx) Ref: DC030

High Hopes Dog Rescue

We’ve posted Luna Chow thousands of times…. We don’t feel she needs an introduction…. You all know the Diva! But she does need a forever home! Luna Chow is dog number 11!Luna was returned to us 2 years ago. Since that day, no one has applied or even asked to meet her.Luna arrived at High Hopes with her pups — who quickly found homes. She settled beautifully in foster, then was adopted. Sadly, after 9 months she was returned. We never share this part to place blame — only to give the full picture of Luna’s story. In her first home she showed signs of anxiety, and a trainer’s report suggested she may struggle with touch.When she came back to us, we took things slow. Hands-off, letting her come to us when ready. And slowly, trust blossomed. Her breakthrough moment? A hairbrush!Over 4–5 months we saw Luna transform — thanks to patience, trust. Rehabilitation isn’t linear, but Luna reminds us why we always put dogs’ needs first.There’s no denying it… Luna is stunning. She is the kind of dog that everyone wants to stop and say hello too. From the very beginning, we’ve worked carefully with Luna to make sure she always felt safe, respected, and able to trust in her own time.Our volunteers have been incredible at listening to our instructions, letting Luna come to them when she was ready, waiting for her “yes” before giving affection, and always giving her the choice to step away. With this advice, she’s built a circle of friends who adore her and she adores them just as much (honestly, she’s more popular than we are )Here’s the magic about Luna….once she’s chosen you as part of her pack, it’s forever. She doesn’t forget her people, and she loves with her whole heart. New friends still need to earn her trust, but she’s learned that most bring snacks—which makes her a little quicker to warm upShe’s happy spending time 1:1, but equally content in a group, as long as her friendship initiation has been followed. Becoming part of Luna’s pack is something special and it’s truly worth every second it takes to get there.After her assessment period post return, learning to trust and making lots of new friends, Luna was ready to show us who she really was underneath that floof!!!She’s such a funny, cheeky girl who’s very exuberant in nature. She loves to sit on your lap and has no idea of personal space (ironic given the need for her own!!)! She’s very loving and lives for belly rubs. She is a playful girl but her play style is body barging and wrestling!! After a busy day playing, Luna settles down for a nap, we have heard her snoring(!) and really enjoys her beauty sleep!She’s one of the happiest dogs we have ever had, she likes chasing her tail, digging and running in the secure field with great animation!! She is quite strong willed, cheeky and the word no seems to make her even more cheeky.….and this is the Luna Chow we know and adore! The floofiest, cheekiest, silliest dog…. If you want a furry sass pants…. Look no further than Chow!!We feel Luna may be better suited to living as an only dog or with a confident laid back dog who matches her play style.Luna can be strong on the lead, she’s always excited to go out, explore and keen to get going. As much as she loves her walks she is also quite lazy and tires herself out quickly!!!She loves playing with toys, zooming around with her foster friends and getting as muddy as possible, followed by tummy rubs! She is a funny girl and constantly makes us laugh with her silly moments.Luna has masses of cuddles and love to give, she just wants someone to give it to who can respect and listen to her boundaries. She now has lots of friends to do that with but she has to share them and would love her very own humans who are happy to be loved by her. A chow/ large guarding breed experienced home would best suit Luna.Luna is 4 years old now and based in foster in Worcestershire and will need a few meetings for potential adopters to pass her initiation1170 days…. That’s how long Luna has waited for her life to start. The first day we saw her.
