BreedWeimaraner X Mastiff

Bruno is a 3-year-old extra-large male Weimaraner x Mastiff, standing at an impressive 91cm tall and weighing 70+ kg.After waiting in emergency boarding kennels for 7 months Bruno found himself in what was supposed to be his forever home for the past 3 months. Everything went great for the first 2.5 months but as Bruno has had some issues with the resident dog for the past 2 weeks the family have decided to surrender him. Bruno has not worked with any professional on any of these behaviours and advice from PPTF was refused - they just want him moved asap.While he is a big soft baby at home, he is very strong on lead. He is microchipped, neutered and fully vaccinated, with no known health issues.Bruno is an extremely large, heavy and strong dog and because of this Bruno must be walked by someone with proven experience handling very strong XL breeds and who has the physical ability to keep full control at all times.Bruno has some specific conditions such as muzzling in public that his new home will need to meet which can be discussed on application. Please apply for more information.• No dogs (it is unclear how he is living with other dogs in the home)• Quiet area with low foot traffic, dogs and peopleBruno has previously suffered from separation anxiety and is currently left for around 90 minutes without. any issue, so his new home must be willing to build alone time very slowly. He can also open doors, so his new family must be extremely vigilant with home security at all times.• Toilet trained (may need a quick refresher after kennels)• Not crate trained as previously slept on the bed or in his own bed• Obsessed with his duck teddy, toys & sniffing out treatsBruno travels brilliantly in the car and is great on longer journeys.“Bruno is a big softie and a really happy boy who wags his tail a lot. He often wanders around with his duck toy in his mouth.”“He loves playing, the beach, paddling in water, cuddles and belly rubs. He is very much a one-person dog who bonds deeply.”Bruno will thrive with a calm, confident, physically strong and highly responsible owner, living in a quiet rural setting, who can provide structure, security, long peaceful walks, affection and lifelong commitment.He is huge on lead but a total baby at home — a loving, loyal companion for someone who truly understands what that means.

Hello… my name is Luna. I’m a gentle, sensitive girl looking for a quiet little corner of the world to finally call home. Life can feel a bit overwhelming at times, so I need kind, patient humans who understand that trust takes time. New people can make me nervous at first, but if you let me move at my own pace, you’ll soon see my loving personality shine through.Once I know I’m safe, I absolutely adore cuddles and will happily lean in for comfort and affection from my favourite people.I love getting out for walks and little adventures, whether it’s a peaceful woodland stroll or simply having a good sniff around. I’m also a big fan of toys and enjoy carrying them around, playing games, and sharing fun moments with the people I love.I’m currently on the larger side, so my exercise will need to be built up gradually as I settle into my new home. A large, secure garden where I can enjoy playtime and sunny afternoons would be a dream come true.I’m looking for a calm home with a low visitor load where I can relax and continue building my confidence. When settled, I should be okay being left for up to two hours.I may be able to live with another dog, pending a successful meet at the centre and careful introductions. I could also potentially live with children aged 14 and over, pending a successful meet.More than anything, I’m searching for someone who can see past my worries and help me blossom into the happy, confident girl I know I can be. If you can offer me patience, kindness, and a peaceful home, I promise I’ll give you my whole heart in return.Love,Luna Key info: Large breed, Children 14+, Secure garden, Dog friendly - on walks, Dog friendly - in the home, Can be left alone for 2 hrs

BreedWeimaraner

Whimsey came to us from a breeder as a very worried little girl who found the world quite overwhelming. When she first arrived, she was unsettled and skittish, needing plenty of time and reassurance to help her feel safe. Since then, she has made wonderful progress and has really started to show what a special girl she is.Whimsey has formed a lovely bond with her carers and now greets those she knows and trusts with enthusiastic cuddles and kisses. It has been a joy to watch her confidence grow, and she is becoming more comfortable with the people around her every day.While Whimsey has come on tremendously, she can still be nervous and unsure around new people. She will need a calm, patient and understanding home that is willing to give her the time and space she needs to build trust and settle at her own pace. Once she feels safe, her affectionate and loving personality truly shines through. She could also live with older, dog-savvy teenagers aged 16 and over who can respect her need for a gentle introduction and allow her to settle in at her own pace.Whimsey walks nicely on a lead, but as she can still be sensitive to new experiences, her adopters will need to continue introducing her to the world gently and at a pace she is comfortable with, helping her build confidence without becoming overwhelmed.Whimsey really enjoys spending time with other dogs and loves socialising with her canine friends in the exercise yards. We now feel she could happily live with another resident dog of a similar size, provided they get along well during a successful meet and greet. Like many dogs, Whimsey can be a little selective about her friendships, so finding the right canine companion will be important. She would also be perfectly happy as the only dog in the home, where she could soak up all the love and attention from her family while continuing to enjoy opportunities to socialise with other dogs on walks. She cannot live with cats.Whimsey has such a sweet heart and has already shown just how much progress she can make when given kindness, patience and understanding. With the right home behind her, we know she will continue to blossom into a wonderfully affectionate companion and a much-loved member of the family.Whimsey arrived with an abscess on the right side of her jaw, which has been treated by our veterinary team. Our vets have also noted that she has a fractured canine tooth with no root or nerve exposure. At this stage, no treatment is required, but it should be monitored by her adopters and their own vet. She has also received treatment for a urinary tract infection, which has been successfully managed under veterinary guidance.

Introducing Loki who is a handsome 1 year old Weimaraner x. Loki arrived very scared after not having the best of starts in his life.It has been a joy getting to see this handsome chap blossom and turn into that cheeky puppy that we knew he had in him. Loki can get worried at times in new situations, but he has been getting a lot braver by the day. He can be more worried of men due to his past experiences so will need kind and committed owners to help him flourish in his new home.Loki is one active lad and is always eager for a run around the paddock, so we feel he would also make a great running partner for someone or an owner that likes long countryside walks would be perfect too.Loki has started his training here at the centre and he has been doing well in certain areas, but he can still get over excited and greet you paws first once he has made friends with you as he loves nothing more than his cuddles. Loki can still be strong on lead when he gets excited, but he is making progress in this area, but his new family will need to be happy to continue this too.Loki has a lot of love to give his new family if they have the time and dedication to helping him grow in confidence too. Loki gets on well with other dogs so would happily live with another dog again. Loki could also live with a dog savvy cat too.Loki is looking for owners who have had dogs similar previously and he would be happiest being in an adult only home and in return you will be rewarded with a lovely boy with a big heart, who is eager to meet you.
