Introducing Loki who is a handsome 11 month 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.

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

Sebby – Working with potential owners's Notes:Sebby is a very excitable and energetic lad which is typical of his breed. Unfortunately he has been recently returned to us due to his behaviour shown in the home.He had spent 3 months in a boarding kennels due to his owners ill health, then brought to us for rehoming, but unfortunately he has missed out on alot of his social and environmental development.He is looking for a home that has previous experience of Weimaraners, with people who are also willing to work with our behaviourist to ensure his behaviours are managed correctly in his new home.Sebby is a very clever and playful lad, who loves to learn new things.Sebby can be a strong boy, but now walks lovely on a Gen-con to help with his strength and make his walks more enjoyable.This needs to be continued by his new owners, to ensure he is under control whilst out and about on adventures.Sebby does suffer from seperation anxiety, which is a typical trait of his breed, but we hope in time to come, with the correct input, this can be improved.He is such is lovable and friendly lad, who throughly enjoys human company and would love cuddles on a big comfy couch.He adores adventures through the woods and getting his nose into what he can whilst out and about.He can be a tad unsure of noisy lorries, but has now learnt to stop and wait until it passes by, whilst looking back at you for reassurance.Since arriving with us, he has spent time around other dogs at a distance, as he doesn’t know how to fully interact with them.He is wanting to interact but doesn’t know how to fully, so will need gentle guidance with this over time, to build his confidence around them, so is looking to be the only dog in the home.He has a huge amount of potential to be a fantastic canine companion as he is great company to be around.We feel Sebby could live with older children aged 14+, who are used to large bouncy dogs.Sebby is showing signs of being toilet trained, but will need added input in his new home.We really hope he doesn’t have to wait long for his furever home!can live with older childrenfriendly with dogsfriendly with strangerscan’t live with cats

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 can live with older dog savvy teens aged, 16+ that will allow her time to settle.Whimsey does walk 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 feeling overwhelmed.Although Whimsey enjoys socialising with other dogs and loves spending time with her canine friends in the exercise yards, we feel she would be happiest as the only dog in her home. This will allow her to fully enjoy the attention and reassurance of her family while continuing to develop her confidence. She would still enjoy opportunities to meet and spend time with other dogs out and about. She will also need a home without cats.Whimsey has such a sweet heart and has already shown how much progress she can make when given kindness, patience, and understanding. With the right home behind her, we believe she will make a truly wonderful 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 vet. She has also received treatment for a urinary tract infection, which has been managed under veterinary guidance.
