Are you right for Bean?Bean is a beautiful, bright 1-year-old who’s full of energy and character. She can be vocal and sensitive when meeting new people, but with a little patience (and a few tasty treats), she soon starts to make friends. Bean will need multiple meetings with her new adopters to help her feel comfortable and build trust at her own pace. She’s recently finished raising a litter of puppies and is now ready to focus on herself and enjoy being a young dog again. As she’s still learning about the world, Bean would benefit from experienced owners who understand her breed and can provide the structure, training, and enrichment she needs to thrive.

*EDDIE HAS MADE AMAZING PROGRESS WITH US, WE FEEL HE CAN BE ADOPTED NOW TO THE CORRECT ENVIRONMENT*We saved Eddie after he was being passed around on a social media platform and given away to one bad home after another. He was forced to wear an electric shock collar which in turn has caused him to have some behaviour issues.Eddie is a very spritely boy who is full of fun energy, he is good with other dogs but does like to chase and play a lot and can become quite frustrated with them if they do not want to interact with him. We believe he may be better as an only dog due to this factor, however we do also believe that it depends on the type of person who would be his new humans and what experience and environment they hold.Eddies adoptive home must have experience with his breed, he is very outgoing for a Pomeranian and has and will nip and tell you if he isn’t happy with something. We do feel he will be able to adapt into a home but it will only work if it’s with the correct understanding, patient people.Eddie HATES his neck area being touched, he does not like a collar and also doesn’t really like being groomed so these things MUST be taken into consideration. Eddie cannot be homed near children due to his little man attitude. He is very sweet in many ways and once he feels comfortable he’s happy to be cuddled but everything is on his own terms, we do believe he may be more settled in a home environment with one person so he can have them all to himself and they can get to understand his quirky ways!Eddie loves food and is very food driven which helps when trying to do certain things with him. Eddie loves being outside mooching around and doing his thing, we would love for him to have a big garden (fully secure) so he can safely run and play without the worry of having to be on a lead all the time being walked. He just doesn’t really like the whole lead going on and off.. it’s due to his treatment before us saving him which is understandable.Eddie would be perfect for someone who has had a small dog with a sassy personality and willing to allow him to be himself but in turn understand that he can react when put in a position he isn’t happy with. Being that he’s small, young and has many positive traits we do really want to try and see if we can find him a safe loving home where he will be understood.There’s lots more we can tell you about this little handsome dude and his quirky ways as we’ve gotten to know him pretty well since saving him. He’s been neutered and was actually pretty well behaved in the vets. He is extremely comical which certainly helps with being his cheeky naughty self.He has made such brilliant progress, he is happy for us to show him affection and love, he has really learnt that not all us humans are harmful and is trust has grown hugely. We’re very proud of him and will be so happy if we find him the correct home for him!

I have the absolute perfect temperament and I am going to make someone the best companion.Even though in years I am an older girl, I still have lots of energy and enjoy my walks!My new home will need to be on top of daily brushing and keeping my coat in tip top condition!I am looking for a quiet home with one person or a couple. I get quite anxious in a busy home and appreciate the company and routine in a more relaxed environment.I travel well in the car and am a perfect patient at the vets.I have been neutered and vaccinated. I have also had 2 mammary lumps removed and sent away for analysis…they were both found to be non cancerous and require no further treatment.If you would like to offer me a place in your heart and your home, please use the link below to complete an application form

BreedPomeranian x Chihuahua

Oscar is an 11 year old Pomeranian cross Chihuahua and is one of our sanctuary dogs. He gets on well with other dogs and loves his walks but does struggle with being handled so is looking for an extra special home that will understand his limitations. A more rural home with outside space would be beneficial as he is used to lots of freedom outside. A kind, patient and understanding person with an allotment or small holding would be ideal. Oscar would need an adult only home and may be ok with a dog savvy cat.
