Saving Saints Rescue

If 5 year old Dili could change one thing about her life at the shelter, we are guessing her wish would be to live with people. all day, every day, for the rest of her life.Dili’s love of humans is relentless. Whether a familiar friend or a new face, Dili greets everyone who enters the shelter in the same way - with a rush of excitement , a lick of love, a bum wiggle of joy and a belly-roll of delight. She simply thinks people are the best thing ever invented and has even gained herself a reputation for climbing the shelter fence in an attempt to follow the visitors home.In Dili’s world, even a trip to donate blood at the vets offers a precious chance for cuddles and love. By happily giving her blood to other shelter dogs in need post-surgery or injury, Dili has saved tens of lives. Now we think it’s her turn to be saved - from a life of loneliness to one full of love.Dili gets one fantastically well will all the other dogs at the shelter and only ever gets grumpy if they try to steal her food. She determinedly sees off any treat marauders, not with malice, just with a quick correcting move.We think it is truly tragic that this selfless girl lives such a restricted life. Please return the love she so generously gives and offer her a home.

Wooof! I'm Holly. I'm a pretty girl looking for a very active home full of fun and adventures!Holly's Notes:Holly is such a beautiful girl who came into us as a stray back in December 2023, she is looking for her new forever home which we can’t wait for her to find as she is wasted in kennels!Holly is a lovely girl who has lots of love to give! She is affectionate and cuddly with people she knows but can be initially quite timid, however she is easily won round with time + treats! She can be timid of new environments but does tend to look to her handler for guidance. When she panics on walks, around traffic, busy public places, she can panic and put the brakes on – she can be very strong and stubborn so will need an owner that can manage this. However, once she settles she really enjoys being out and about on adventures or running around our secure off lead areas here at the rescue!Her recall is quite hit and miss, typical of her breed! But she is very food motivated which definitely helps with training. Holly will require a secure garden with tall fences.Since she has been with us she has met a large variety of different dogs and has been fantastic with them, she walks well with them and has also showed great social skills when off lead with them too. She has the potential to live with a compatible dog as long as the introductions go well here at the rescue. Being a Hound Holly would not be suitable to live with cats or other small furries.Due to her coming into us as a stray, we don’t have any background history on her but she has been in two foster homes which allowed us to learn more about her and we can explain her more to anyone interested. She was in a foster home with two other smaller dogs – which she loved and seemed very confident, however she was quite boisterous for the older, smaller dogs which is why it was only a short foster.Also, in one of the foster home she became quite timid and showed some guarding behaviours, due to this we are looking for an adult only home for Holly.Overall she is an amazing girl who is a firm favourite here at NCAR and we hope a suitable home comes along for her soon!Holly is a large breed, she is a hound, weighing around 30kg. We have been told the photos can be quite deceiving and that she looks small, beagle size, she is quite a big girl who is strong on lead.can live with other dogsfriendly with dogsfriendly with strangerscan’t live with catscan't live with young children

Strays Without Borders

William was hit by a car in the street and was found by one of rescuers laying on the tarmac, not able to get up. Our rescuer took him to the vet – they didn’t find any fractures but it took four weeks before he slowly began regaining the feeling in his legs. But little by little he became stronger and thankfully recovered entirely. This very sweet boy has spent two long years in kennels, waiting for a home. He is a bit timid and wary of new people – it takes a little time for him to gain confidence. But he is good-natured and gentle so with the right approach he will become a wonderful companion! He gets on wonderfully with other dogs but is very submissive and needs gentle dog friends. The ideal adopter for William will have experience with timid dogs and know how to gradually gain his trust and build up his confidence. William will need and adults only home and a calm environment. With proper introduction he can live with cats. A confident and friendly doggy companion will definitely help him gain trust. Neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated.
