Whippet

Skylors Animal Rescue

Arthur came into our care after being surrendered. He was very skinny and his coat was dirty and greasy and he was covered in sores. He’s now gained over 3kg and his coat is shinny and healthy and all his sores are healed. He has a lot of scars all over his body and has not had a great life but all that is changing. He's very loving and friendly. He loves other dogs. He loves food and treats. Walks great on a lead. He is house trained. Good around children. Will make someone an amazing companion. Arthur needs an active home with people who like plenty of walks. Would probably suit a family because he loves being around people. He would also be happy to share a home with a confident resident dog. Would advise not living with cats or small furries. Any new home must have a very secure garden because he can climb fences if left too long unattended. So at least 6ft without any edging or anything that is easy for him to climb. Arthur is not enjoying kennels - there must be someone out there looking for a companion to share trips and to create loving memories. He has the sweetest temperament and needs a loving home to spend the rest of his life in with people who will love him forever. Adopting Arthur will complete a family. He’s absolutely amazing. If you'd like to offer Arthur a forever home, please fill in our online application form. If you're successful you will receive an email from us (please check your spam), have a home check, then we invite you to meet the dog. Please answer every question in full and what we ask for otherwise your application will be deleted straight away. (Inc proof from your landlord if renting).

HW Animal Rescue

Stunning Bow is a beautiful blue in colour, he’s super excitable and nothing is done slowly or gently. We would hope that when he settles into a home environment he will calm nicely, everything is just so fun and exciting, so exciting that he doesn’t know what to do with himself.Bow is very friendly with people and would make a great adventuring companion.We are looking for a home with experience of owning similar breeds, an active lifestyle will be essential as Bow wouldn’t currently be satisfied with a sedate lifestyle and a short walk each day.A home without small pets will be required, a home with another compatible dog may be a possibility.Any children living within the home or regularly visiting would need to be 10 years+, we have no previous history for Bow and he’s like a rocket with a whippy tail.

Buddy is a very fearful boy, who requires a very quite more rural home with no children as he will snap if he gets really scared.Buddy is a very fearful boy, who requires a very quite more rural home with no children as he will snap if he gets really scared. He would likely need potential adopters to visit more than once as it takes him quite a while to warm up to new people. Once he got used to me, he became very cuddly and affectionate and will follow me everywhere if i let him. He is currently working on going for short walks on a harness, he is terrified of the leads around his neck and will panic and thrash about. But he is doing well on the harness and is growing in confidence. He will need alot of time, patience and understanding. He will now walk on a slip lead for me as he trusts me, be wont walk on a slip lead for anyone else, so a harness would be required.

Are you right for Buddy?Buddy is a 12 year old whippet X looking for a calm home where life revolves more around relaxing together than clocking up miles on walks. He could live with children of secondary school age and older but would like to be the only pet. He is one of the few dogs in our care who really benefits from having his own secure private garden, where he can potter, sunbathe, roll in the grass and spend time with his favourite people. Although Buddy enjoys getting out occasionally, he's very much a homebody and doesn't need daily walks to be happy. He would much rather have the odd peaceful stroll somewhere quiet than busy routes full of dogs, people and traffic, and he may still be vocal if he sees things he finds worrying. He also travels best when he can't see out of the car, as passing traffic can cause him to bark, so his new family will need to be happy using a covered crate or similar setup. Buddy can be unsure on slippery floors after previous slips, so a home with carpets or runners, at least while he settles in, would help him feel confident.Is Buddy right for you?Buddy is a sweetheart who is welcome in the homes of three of our foster carers because of what a wonderful house guest he is. He settles beautifully into home life, is toilet trained, and is happiest spending time with his people, whether that's snoozing on the sofa, curling up on a duvet, pottering around the garden or having a game with his favourite toys. He generally prefers to stay downstairs and sleeps soundly there through the night. Buddy is a loving, affectionate companion who enjoys calm, polite visitors and has even won over several foster families with his easy-going nature around the house. His hearing isn't the best these days and he may have the occasional woof at the birds in the garden, but his favourite place in the world is simply at home with the people he loves. If you're looking for a dog who'll happily share quiet days, cosy evenings and plenty of affection, Buddy could be the perfect match.

Beautiful Elsie is a 12-year-7-month-old Whippet who may be in her golden years, but she still has plenty of love and life to give. After sadly being found as a stray, Elsie is now looking for a loving forever home where she can enjoy her retirement in comfort and be truly cherished.Elsie is a wonderfully affectionate girl who loves spending time with people and would be happiest in a nice, quiet home where she can take life at a more leisurely pace. Her ideal day would involve a gentle stroll, plenty of affection and, of course, a cosy spot for a good snooze!Although Elsie is confident around other dogs, we feel she would be happiest either as the only dog in the home or, following a successful introduction, living alongside another dog of a similar age and energy level. She doesn’t need a canine companion to keep her entertained and would be more than happy soaking up all the love herself.Elsie could potentially live with calm children, following a successful introduction.One of Elsie’s favourite pastimes is relaxing in the office, where she can happily snooze away while keeping an eye on everything going on around her!Elsie has so much love left to give and deserves to spend her golden years surrounded by people who will adore her. Could you be the one to give this sweet senior girl the peaceful, loving home she deserves?

Harriet Harriet is a stunning 4 year old whippet x saluki/collie who was sadly returned to us recently after 2 years in a home. Unfortunately the family had a baby with additional needs and didn't feel like it was fair on Harriet. Harriet is a sweet, sweet soul. She's settled back happily with us in the kennels

Hatchi is a lovely boy seeking a suitable forever home.Hatchi is a beautiful boy who has been through a few homes in his young life before we got him, so we would love to find him his forever home. His recent owner had to surrender him through no fault of Hatchi or the family, they had a change in family circumstances. Hatchi is a very sweet boy, he is good with people and loves attention, he can be shy with some people at first but he comes around very quickly. He would be best in a home with kids 12yrs and over.Hatchi is ok with other dogs, but he can be anxious which can cause him to be very vocal and scared of some dogs until he gets used to them. He much prefers dogs who arent in his face all the time. In our home he is currently sharing with two other dogs no problem. So could potentially live with another dog pending successful meet and greet.Hatchi is naturally a more nervous boy in general, so will need a patient loving home willing to give him time to settle in. He settled in to our home very quickly, but every home is different. He walks well on the lead, but again due to being nervous he would likely react if an offlead dog was to run up into his space. He just hasnt had alot of socialisation, so will take time to learn and grow in confidence. But we are seeing improvements every day. In the house he is very happy and well behaved, outside of the house he is very anxious and is working on this, but it is something that his new family will have to continue working on. (We can offcourse cover training support no problem, to help him become the best boy he can be.) A more rural and calm area would be best, he definately wouldnt suit a built up and busy living area.Hatchi has been quite settled in our home, not destructive or anything. He is also happy to sleep in a crate overnight if required. But he will need some house training initally, as he settles and adjusts to a new home and routine.

He is looking for a new home where he will have lots of company, he is does love attention and is happiest when he is around people.

Are you right for Little Gem?This lovely lady is Little Gem. After giving birth to three beautiful puppies and watching them grow, now it is Gem's turn to find her forever home! Unfortunately, we do not have much history of Gem's life before coming to Dogs Trust so we feel she will be best suited to an adult only home. Gem can be a tad shy when meeting new people, but once she gets to know you she will be your closest companion for the rest of her life! She is an affectionate girl who loves a fuss and cuddle, so would prefer to be the only dog in her new home so she can keep all the attention to herself. Gem can be left for short periods, which could be built gradually once she's fully settled into her new home. She would love her own secure garden space where she can run and play to her heart's content! This would also give her a fantastic opportunity to enjoy some of her favourite enrichment activities to keep her clever brain busy!Is Little Gem right for you?This sweetheart really lives up to her name and has an absolute gem of a personality! She has stolen so many hearts here at the centre and brings a smile to everyone's faces! Gem can be a bit unsure around dogs and has been working really hard on building her confidence and wearing her muzzle during her time at Dogs Trust. She will require ongoing encouragement from her family, but you will be supported every step of the way by the teams here at the centre. Gem is also a big foodie and super intelligent which will be a great help for any training you undertake together! Gem travels well in the car and loves nothing more than a sniffy walk, so we know she will thrive in an active home with quieter walking areas. If you feel Little Gem could be the perfect addition to your home, please submit an application and don't forget to "favourite" her!

I'm a good traveler, walk well on my lead and I am learning toilet training very quickly, but I will need some guidance once I move into my forever home. Would you mind helping me?

Safe Rescue For Dogs

Olive is a petite little Italian greyhound/ whippety shaped crossbreed aged around four years old. Not Cat Tested. We feel a home with another dog would be her choice. She could be equally as happy as the only dog in the home so long as the adopter can keep her well socialised and wants to spend a lot of time with their dog. Respectful children 12 plus. Olive and her family went to Roxanas shelter in Romania from the Ukraine after the war broke out. They grew up there and now have the chance of a better future. Olive is the last of the four littermates to be adopted. Olive is a lovely little girl but lacks confidence with new people and new situations. Once given time to get to know you she is such a happy and affectionate dog and loves attention and tummy rubs. She has a beautiful smile which she shows you once she trusts you. She is initially shy but her cheeky side is just starting to show in her foster home. Olive is gaining confidence on walks but will need an adopter happy to continue with this. Olive has a regal look and used to love sitting on top of the kennel in the shelter. Her best friend was a male labrador type and she mixes well with other dogs, so we feel a home with another dog would be her choice. She could be equally as happy as the only dog in the home so long as the adopter can keep her well socialised and wants to spend a lot of time with their dog. She could live with respectful children aged twelve plus.Olive fostered North Walsham, NorfolkAdoption Donation Fees are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: £430. Un-neutered puppies on spay/neuter contracts: £530 (You will receive a £100 rebate once you send us proof of neutering). Senior dogs (10+ years): £150–£250 (depending on age and individual needs).When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST use a slip lead. This will keep your dog safe: your new dog will be nervous and will not trust you, and you will not know which situations might upset your dog. If your dog panics, then a slip lead is the only way to prevent your dog from escaping (many dogs can escape from a collar and/or harness). It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle-in and for you to know your dog fully (longer for nervous dogs). The slip lead must ALWAYS be used during this settling-in period. Even after your dog is settled, it is safest to use the slip lead in situations where your dog may become scared (e.g. visiting new places, around unfamiliar people, at the vet), and it situations where unexpected triggers might happen (e.g. around bonfire night). Nervous dogs may always need to wear a slip-lead as a back-up safety measure. The slip lead is a safety device and must NEVER be used as a training tool. Using the lead to apply pressure to the dog’s neck is damaging. If your dog pulls on the lead, then we can advise you on training methods that avoid harm. Once your dog is settled, you may want to consider using a harness (together with the slip lead) if your dog is comfortable with being handled when it is fitted. Most harnesses are not escape-proof, but harnesses with a strap behind the ribcage (e.g. Ruffwear Webmaster or Perfect Fit Harnesses) are safer. Retractable / extendable leads must never be used on our dogs. Adopted dogs must be collected from the rescue and transported straight home in a secure metal crate. Fences and gates must be 5foot minimum in height and secure.
