Hi, I’m Ace! I’m about 2 years old and I've not been lucky enough to live in a home yet. I came here in February and I'm loving my indoor heated kennel with nice blankets! I absolutely love other dogs and I like people but I'm just a bit shy. I’d be more than happy to live with another dog or without, I'm not fussy but I did used to chase rabbits for a living so I might do the same with a cat in the house.I’m learning to walk on a lead and come back when I'm called. I'm loving my new raw food as I was a bit hungry. I’m looking for a home that is easy going as I like a calm life but I do also like to play with other dogs. If you’re after a gentle soul that would probably end up sleeping on the sofa in the sunshine then I'm your man! Love,Ace

He absolutely loves to play and loves other dogsThere is however a BIG BUT - he is absolutely terrified of travelling in a vehicle - he arrived shut in the dark in a small purpose built travel cage in the back of a Battersea van and has never got over this.

Callas, a 9 months old female Saluki available for adoption from Erin Hounds in Cheshire

Callas (born August 2025) is a happy, energetic, smallish female saluki who finds joy in every minute of every day. She loves being out and about; those eye-catching looks fitting well with her “social butterfly” attitude. She gets on very well with other dogs and would love a playful canine companion for silliness. She adores people and would be happy in a home with lots going on and a secure garden in which to let off her puppy liveliness. She is microchipped. A non-negotiable condition of adoption is that she will be speyed at the appropriate age and that there will not be any non-castrated dogs in her new family. We believe she can live with cats as long as they watch out for her waggy tail! If you would like this ditzy girl in your family and there is someone around all the time, please contact us.

A lamb in disguiseLikes & Needs: A lover of older teenagers; Happy living as the only pet; Such a happy, loving boy; Getting there with his housetraining; Happy with a 1-2 hour leave time; A very high prey drive; Requires a secure garden with 6 ft fencing, solely for himselfCompatibility: Cats: No; Dogs: No; Children: See age criteriaLegs like spaghetti, Falkor is such a happy boy who is raring to go. It can take time for him to warm to your kindness but once your best friend, he springs along like a lamb, carrying his toys in his mouth. Falkor loves cuddle time on the sofa, playing with tennis balls and given the opportunity, helping himself to food if left within eye reach.Loving the outdoors, particularly when it’s nice and warm, Falkor would love a garden to sunbathe and zoom around in. His fencing must be 6ft + due to his very high prey drive and he must be walked wearing a muzzle. He is a fantastic walker but hiring out a secure field would be ideal for off lead exercise.

When meeting new people, she may be a little shy at first — but offer her a tasty treat or a squeaky toy, and you’ll quickly earn her royal approval (and her heart). Once she knows you, Lizzie will happily rule your couch and become your most loyal companion. She would be happiest in a home with children aged 16+, where her gentle nature can truly flourish.

She’s looking for a devoted companion who can be home most of the day, ready to keep her company and share a life full of love, laughter, and snuggles.
