Meet Criss Cross, a big-hearted, sensitive lad who has come to us from a breeder and is learning to find his confidence in the world. 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.Since arriving, Criss Cross has made wonderful progress. While he may still be a little shy when meeting someone new, once he feels comfortable he actively seeks attention and cuddles, often trying to return kisses with his big, loving heart. He is still learning his manners and, as a large lad, can sometimes use his size to barge past when excited, but he responds well to clear, calm guidance.Criss Cross is gaining confidence with his harness training and has already enjoyed walks beyond the rescue, comfortably managing a good distance down the road. He can be a little unsure if people are walking behind him, but one of his adorable quirks is that he finds reassurance if you turn and face him while walking backwards allowing him to let his guard down. Gentle encouragement, slow introductions, and quiet, safe garden sniffing adventures all help him to continue building his trust.He will need a calm, adult-only home with experienced adopters who can provide patience, structure, and reassurance as he continues to grow.

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.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 is currently finding harness training quite scary, so this will need to be continued slowly and positively, starting with gentle practice in the garden.Cuba would prefer to be the only dog in the home and so his adopters will need to be around enough to keep him company.He will need a home without cats or small furries as he does have a prey drive.Cuba gets fed separately from his kennel friends as he can be a little protective of his food from other dogs while eating. That said, he is fine taking treats when around other dogs, but would need to be fed separately at meal times or when having long lasting treats and chews around any canine friends.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 is currently being treated for bilateral conjunctivitis and has also had a bilateral entropian repair.

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.

You certainly would feel safe and secure with her around.

Meet Lulu, the small, 18kg Chow Chow, who is looking for her forever home.She's a fairly typical Chow who has clearly had a rough time. She was so matted, looking like she'd been living outdoors, that she had to be shaved. Not something we take lightly with a double coated breed, She will need daily brushing while her coat grows back to help her get used to being groomed and stop any tangles developing.Lulu absolutely loves her daily walks. She’s great on the lead and enjoys taking in the sights and smells. She's also a real foodie, if there’s food involved, she's there! Great for training.A professional napper, Lulu has an impressive snoring ‘song’. You won't need a white noise machine with her around!Solo Queen, while she currently lives with another dog in her foster home, she would relish having all the love and attention to herself.Lulu struggles with separation anxiety, so she will need a human who works from home, is retired or has a job where she can tag along. She just wants to be where her human is.If you’re an experienced dog owner, looking for a devoted shadow who will keep you active and entertained, Lulu might be the lady for you!Adult home.

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.
