Are you right for Aimee?AIMEE IS LOOKING FOR A HOME TOGETHER WITH HOLLY. Mother and daughter duo are looking for a home where they can stay together.

They are looking for a home with adult adopters in a quiet home environment. They have no history around cats, small furries or livestock, and are looking to be the only dogs in the home.

Are you right for Belle?Belle is a seven year old Maltese x Shih Tzu who would suit a home in a quieter residential neighbourhood with a secure garden. Due to her sensitivity to noise, flat living or busy main roads would not be ideal for her, and she is likely to feel more relaxed in a calmer environment. She can live with children aged ten and over who are used to lively dogs, as she does tend to jump up and greet people enthusiastically. She enjoys meeting some dogs on walks and has shown herself to typically be sociable and friendly when out and about. With gentle support to build up any time left alone and a calm environment around her, Belle will flourish in a home where she can enjoy both companionship and her own little moments of independence.

Are you right for Bluebell?Bluebell is a very sweet and sensitive 5yr old Maltese who came to us from a pretty awful situation. She's had a very difficult life, and not had the best experiences with humans prior to being with us. This has left her very uncomfortable around being handled. There was a time when she was too frightened to even leave her kennel, but through slow and consistent training she has come on brilliantly and is now ready to find her forever home. She will always be a timid girl and finds noisy, unpredictable situations frightening, so she must live in an adult only home with a secure garden so she has an outdoor space she feels safe in. Other dogs give Bluebell a lot of confidence so it's vital that she shares her home with a similar doggy friend or two who can help her find her way. She will need her new family around all the time for a good while as she has a lot of settling in to do but our team will be happy to help and support every step of the way.

Ark Animal Rescue

I am a male Cockapoo X Maltese terrier, am 3 years old and am a small-medium cream dog.I’ve not been neutereded but I’m up to date with my vaccinations, am fit and well and was recently vet checked in January this year. I eat wet and dry food mixed 50/50.I first came into the Ark last December as my family had moved into rented accommodation and I wasn’t allowed there. I was rehomed and despite all efforts to help me settle, I’ve been growly and snappy with family memebers, including children, and caused a minor injury to my owner’s daughter, making the children very wary of me.I’m an anxious little lad and startle easily when people leave or enter the house, or when I’m touched, causing me to show nervous aggression and separation anxiety. I’m also prone to humping. I’m full of energy though and love walks. I lived with 4 children from newborn to 10 years in my first home and was said to be good with them if a little lively with the small ones. However, this wasn’t the case in my new home where I lived with 3 children aged 5, 10 and 14 years and I wasn’t good around them. I’ve not lived with another dog but went to dog play when in my first home and I’m great with other dogs. I’m unknown with cats.I wasn’t reported to have any aggression when in my first home and was good around food. However, my nervous aggression has come through to several family members in my new home, probably because I’ve had an unsettled few months with several moves which has made it difficult for me to adapt. I was assessed by a behaviourist in my recent home and a behaviour plan drawn up which can be passed on to new owners. I’m good in boarding kennels, stressed at the groomers and nervous but well-behaved at the vets. I’m house-trained and partially crate-trained, but don’t like being confined and I don’t like being left at all. I’ve travelled well in the car but haven’t done so often. I pull a bit on the lead, am better on a harness and my recall is poor outside but ok inside. I’m not really interested in toys. I’m a lovely little boy but just troubled by my nervousness and anxiety. I have several needs to help my new home be a success: 1. A person/couple with expreience with nervous dogs (I’m not a dog for novice owners), 2. a home where somebody is around most of the time, 3. somebody to give me the exercise and walks I love and need, 4. maybe another calm but confident dog to show me more confidence and 5. no children, even visiting grandchildren should be kept away from me. I need a calm home where I can feel safe and learn to cope with the things that make me anxious..

Are you right for Doris?Doris is approximately 5-year-old girl who is shy, worried, and sometimes conflicted when meeting new people, so she needs a calm, patient home willing to let her take things at her own pace. Once she knows you, she really enjoys a gentle fuss and quiet companionship. Doris would suit an experienced or understanding adopter who can be around most of the time, as she cannot be left and will need any alone time built up very slowly. Doris has had a unsettled start in life and initially finds it hard to settle in a new environment, she will need time and patience as she learns to relax and feel secure. She has a medium energy level, enjoys her walks, and will need regular visits to the groomer to keep her feeling comfortable. Multiple meets to build a relationship with Doris will be needed here at the centre before she goes home.

23-03-26 Ella is the sweetest lady who has come to us from a breeder, and she is an absolute joy to be around. She’s incredibly easy to handle and will come running over to greet you, full of excitement, often bouncing up in delight when she sees a friendly face.At times, Ella can be a little reserved, but she quickly finds her confidence and will gently and politely ask for fuss. She’s a very curious girl who is starting to take an interest in the world around her, taking everything in at her own pace. She loves other dogs and relies on them for comfort, so will need a home where there was another kind and confident resident dog to be her friend and companion.As Ella has never lived in a home before, she will need patient and understanding adopters to help her learn house training and how to walk on a lead. That said, with her naturally inquisitive nature, we don’t think it will take her long to come around and start enjoying everything home life has to offer.Ella is a truly gorgeous girl who will absolutely thrive in a loving home. She can live with dog-savvy teens and will make a wonderful addition to a caring family.Ella has arrived with a lump on her abdomen that will be assessed.

We recently welcomed three Maltese into our care — mum, dad, and daughter. After a much-needed pamper session (huge thanks to Hounds on the Hill, Stamford ), they’re all looking and smelling absolutely gorgeous!We’re delighted to share that mum has now been reserved, but dad Marlow (5 yrs) and daughter Mina (2.5 yrs) are still waiting for their forever home. These two are the more confident of the trio and absolutely love to play together, clearly taking comfort from one another.Because of their strong bond, we are hoping to find a home where Marlow and Mina can stay together. They would thrive with someone who understands how special it is to give a bonded pair the chance to stay side by side.
