Are you right for Benji?Benji is a handsome 4yr old Pug who is looking for a new family who enjoy being around bubbly little dogs. He's super friendly and generally a little ball of energy. He'll be fine with older kids who are confident around giddy, playful dogs. He's been fine around other dogs so could potentially share with a similar dog to himself as long as they get on well. He was house trained in his previous home but may need a little refresher as he settles into a new home.

Chilli is an older boy who is looking for a family to look after him in his golden years, he still really enjoys going for walks and having a play but then will like to have a good nap – on your lap if you will let him! When Chilli first came to us, he had a lot of problems with his skin, but with some love, medicated shampoos and medication he is really thriving and feeling much better. He loves human company and will take all the fuss and cuddles on offer but nothing for him beats FOOD! Watch where you put your plates and snacks as he will seek them out! Everyone who meets Chilli instantly falls in love; he is a true happy character and will definitely put a smile on your face. Yes, he is an older boy, but he really does have a lot of life left to offer a new family. He is currently in a foster home where he has settled in really well, he has been toilet trained, able to be left for a few hours and even lives with a rabbit – although he does enjoy having a bark at them.

Are you right for Daisy?Daisy is a 7 year old pug that is looking for a quiet home to call her own. She can be reactive to people and dogs, therefore she is looking for someone with minimal visitors and quiet walking areas. She enjoys doggie play dates but can get jealous over attention so would be best suited as the only dog in the home. Daisy is house trained, travels well in the car in her crate, and can be left alone for 4 hours once settled. She also loves her toys and will happily entertain herself with them.

Beautiful and super friendly pups, seeking loving and active forever homes. These beautiful pups are Pug (dad) x Collie (mum). They were raised within in a family home, so are very social and friendly little pups. They will require all basic puppy training, but their family did start some lead training with the pups. A home with someone home most of the day or another dog companion would be required, as no baby should be alone for long periods of time. Given their mix, the pups will most likely grow to a medium size. They are great with dogs, cats and can live with kids. They are still just babies, so are at the perfect age to begin training and help them grow into well rounded adults.

Are you right for Gonzo?Gonzo is a sweet little dude who is full of love and energy. He's currently living off site in foster home where he is enjoying all his homey comforts. He loves people and is happiest when he's by his carers side, whether that is snuggling up on the sofa or trying to get cosy in bed! Gonzo is housetrained and has been settling in well to a home routine. He isn't a big fan of being left home alone, so would love so find adopters who can be with him most of the time and gradually help him feel more at ease with his own company. Gonzo loves people and has met young children, so we think he could live with children 12+ following a meeting here at the centre. He can be vocal out on his walkies, especially when he sees other dogs, however he can socialise and does prefer calmer dogs. We think he could share his new home with another dog following a meeting here at the centre.

Jim is a sweet gentleman with a sensitive and thoughtful nature. He’s a quieter boy who prefers to take life at his own pace and would suit a calm, understanding home where expectations are gentle and routines are predictable.Jim can be shy around handling and physical contact, especially with unfamiliar people. He’s happiest when given space to approach in his own time and does best with low-pressure interactions. Once trust begins to build, he shows curiosity and interest in the world around him, choosing to explore and sniff the world around him.Out on walks, Jim enjoys getting out and about and loves investigating new environments. He can be unsettled indoors at first but benefits greatly from consistency, patience, and a steady routine to help him feel secure. His clever little brain is always working, and gentle enrichment and calm exploration will help him settle and feel comfortable in his new home.Jim is looking to be the only pet in the home, where he can fully settle in and build his confidence at his own pace. Once he feels secure and established in his new environment, he would be happy to enjoy calm walking companions. He does enjoy sharing sniffing adventures, but prefers steady, well-mannered dog friends rather than excitable or overly playful types.He would be best suited to an adult-only home that understand that Jim needs space and quiet time to feel safe. Visiting older children would also need to be calm and respectful.He has shown some sensitivity around having his harness on, so adopters will need to continue slow, positive introductions to things like harnessing and grooming, building trust gradually and kindly.Jim is looking for a special home that will appreciate his gentle nature and give him the time he needs to settle. In return, you’ll gain a loyal companion who enjoys peaceful walks, quiet company, and sharing life’s little adventures by your side.
