All Creatures Great And Small

Bodger is a lively character who enjoys taking life at his own pace!He chooses when he wants affection and when he’d rather explore on his own. When he’s in the mood, he can be incredibly playful, although he may get a bit mouthy with play biting and hyper when overstimulated, which could just be a result of the kennel environment. He is currently excelling in clicker training and check ins with his handlers.Bodger loves exploring our enclosed fields and being outdoors. His previous owners mentioned that he hasn’t been fond of grooming sessions, often needing medication beforehand to help him relax or requiring their presence for reassurance. We were told that his stomach is a particularly sensitive area, likely due to past matting that made it sore and tender. This is why we requested that our vets shave him while he was under general anaesthesia, ensuring he was comfortable and stress free during the process. Overall, we would describe Bodger as a happy go lucky soul with an independant personality!

Meet Cai, a charming young boy ready for a new adventure!This handsome pup hails from a working line and has a genuine enthusiasm for training. However, his attention span can be short. When he’s had enough, he playfully lets you know by grabbing his favourite toy and tossing it at you, using your head or back as a target is one of his favourite tricks! But don’t worry, he quickly shifts back to “let’s play fetch for ages!” mode. Cai is more motivated by toys than treats, though his interest can vary based on his environment and mood.Cai would thrive with active adopters who have plenty of space and understand the needs of collies. He requires exercise, mental stimulation, enrichment, and training to flourish. This spirited boy loves living life in the fast lane, and his new family will need to keep up!

Squish’s journey to us is truly heart wrenching. He arrived due to serious issues within his family home – please see the “Reason for My Surrender” section for details. Eventually, the situation became untenable, requiring Squish and the child to be kept permanently apart. They couldn’t even be in the same room, as Squish was extremely terrified and anxious. The family recognised the unfairness of the situation for both of them and made the difficult decision to surrender him to our rescue, hoping to find him a predominantly adult only home where he can truly thrive.Squish needs a quiet, stress free environment to settle comfortably into his senior years. He has been in the kennels for around nine months, and it breaks our hearts to think he is one of our longest staying residents.Despite his challenges, Squish is a bright and energetic boy who loves playing football and enjoys a good game of fetch. He greets everyone with a wagging tail and a joyful demeanour, showcasing his affectionate nature. He has a favourite scratch spot under his right ear, and when playing fetch, he excels at dropping the ball right at your feet or on your lap if you’re seated, no need to get up to throw it! He knows many tricks, including “sit,” “down,” “touch,” “middle,” and “place.”

We’ve all quickly fallen for Tanzi! She has adapted wonderfully to kennel life and loves going for walks with our staff and volunteers. Full of energy, Tanzi greets everyone with enthusiastic jumps, often unaware of her size! She thrives on affection and is truly a sweet girl. She adores attention and loves playing football! We have a list of cues from her previous owners, and our team is working closely with her to uncover the tricks she knows. Right now, we’re focusing on “recall” and “loose lead walking.”According to her previous owner, Tanzi is both muzzle trained and crate trained. They reported that she was perfectly fine being crated for a few hours (2-3) and adapted well to that routine. It’s essential for her to have a crate in her new home to help maintain her established routine. Tanzi would thrive with adopters who ideally have experience with large breeds, as she is very bouncy and playful! She gets overly excited when greeting people and just can’t contain her energy!Is Tanzi the right pet for you? Use the links below to begin the application process.
