Are you right for Jac?Jac is on the lookout for a home where he can truly thrive! He can happily live with secondary school aged children and would love to be the centre of attention as the only dog in the home. He's looking for a home without cats, or neighbouring cats, birds, or small furry pets. Jac enjoys exploring quieter, more rural walking routes where he can take in all the exciting sights and smells. He has a high prey drive, so extra care will be needed around livestock and local wildlife. Jac has learnt to wear a muzzle when out and about and is happy wearing it on his adventures. Jac could cope well in a reasonably busy household, he is fully housetrained and settles beautifully indoors. He would make the perfect work from home companion! Time left alone will need to be built up gradually. Jac is a happy traveller and enjoys going out in the car, ready for his next adventure. A secure garden would be beneficial or alternatively on a long-line, and he'd absolutely love regular trips to a large secure field where he can really enjoy himself.Is Jac right for you?Jac is an adorable six-year-old German Shepherd cross Dobermann with a huge heart and an even bigger love for people! He's instantly friendly when meeting new faces and quickly wins everyone over with his affectionate nature. Jac absolutely loves attention, enjoys plenty of fuss, and is happiest when he's snuggled up with the people he loves, forming strong and loyal bonds. His foster carer describes him as the perfect house guest and says he is an absolute joy to be around, making him a wonderful companion both in and out of the home. When it's time for an adventure, Jac is always ready! He enjoys exploring fields, peaceful countryside walks, and trips to the beach during quieter times. Although he's a big boy, he's worked hard on his loose lead walking and is lovely to walk with. Like many dogs, he can become a little strong when he's excited, but he's keen to get back into his stride. Jac much prefers quieter walking spots away from busy dog areas and is happy to make canine friends, especially calm dogs who enjoy walking alongside him. Jac is a clever boy who already knows an impressive range of cues, including "sit", "down", "wait", "leave", "touch", and "paw". His favourite way to learn is with tasty cheese treats as a reward! He also loves putting his nose to work with scent games and really enjoys learning new tricks, making him a fun and rewarding companion to train. When playtime comes around, Jac is all in! He loves a good game with his toys, especially anything squeaky, tug toys, balls, and a game of fetch. Whether he's out exploring, learning something new, or curled up beside you after a busy day, Jac is sure to bring lots of love, fun, and companionship to his forever home. He sleeps soundly through the night and loves nothing more than curling up for a snuggle on the sofa or relaxing in a comfy bed after a day of fun.

Are you right for Jupiter?Are you looking for THE most loyal and loving BFF and are up for learning some great dog training along the way? Then meet Jupiter! He’s a 6yr old Dobermann Cross who forms a very strong bond with his friends. Jupiter is what we call a ‘Velcro dog’, because he will stick by your side! He likes to be with his friends all the time so it will be a little while until he can be built up to any time on his own, but this just means more Jupiter cuddles!! He’s spent a lot of time on sleepovers with his favourite handlers and proven that he’s fully housetrained, really playful (tennis balls are his favourite!) and the best sofa snuggler you could wish for! So, if you are looking for an AWESOME dog who will be a little bit of a project initially but will then repay you with a lifetime of love and fun, add Jupiter to your favourites NOW!Is Jupiter right for you?Jupiter can be a bit anxious with new people and places so will need his adopters to slowly work with us to build a bond and prepare him for life in his forever home. He’s worried by other dogs so is best walked in quiet places where he won’t see many, but he happily wears his muzzle. He’s made good progress with his training and has even made a couple of doggy friends at the centre, so in time walking buddies should be possible if introduced properly. He needs a calm and predictable adult only home where he can build a good routine and continue smashing his training. He will need to have his own secure garden with high fence as he loves to play off-lead.

That includes food, vet bills and the use of secure fields so she can have a good run.We just want Lilly safe and loved with someone with compassion and common sense who is able to work with her more with her lead training.Lilly is running out of time.We need any applicants to be in the Wiltshire area or already be home checked by us due to the time restraints.

Are you right for Marley?Absolute cuddle bug Marley is a 5 and a half year old Dobermann who loves to be snuggled up with his favourite people. Once he has a bond with you he will lean on you and nudge your hand for fusses, especially a good scratch behind the ears! Once he is done he will wander off on his own. He is a bit of a shadow, so will wander around with you and will sit right by your side whilst eating his treat or chew, he takes them very gently from the hand. He does an excited tippy tap when you get his harness out ready for a walk, he is a little worried by the world and can stop on walks when uncertain, but with some support and encouragement he will soon get moving again. This super snuggler is ready to find his new family, could it be you?Is Marley right for you?Marley is looking for a calm and quiet home with adopters who can take him on sniffy adventures, who will take the time to help him settle in and give him all the love and attention he deserves. He is sweet boy, but is noise sensitive and finds loud noises very worrying, so is looking to live with seconadry school children who are calm and will play nicely with him and will give him space to rest peacefully when needed. Marley could live an established and calm dog who will happily co-exist and engage in occasional play, this will be pending successful meetings at the centre, living with another dog is not a necessity, he would be happy with polite and friendly walking buddies. Marley has some training under his belt, he does a lovely “sit” and is willing to engage in training with the help of a tasty treat and lots of praise. Marley can settle nicely in the home so could be left for up to 4 hours, this would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle into his new home. Marley is on daily medication and will need to meet his adopters a few times prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying.
