Hello, I’m Bayley!I’m a 5 year old neutered Collie Cross, and I’ve had quite the journey. I originally came to the rescue because my humans weren't feeling well enough to look after me. I've spent a very short time in two further homes, but I got worried around new people and did growl and snap.I can be a bit unsure when meeting strangers, so I’ll need someone patient who can let me come to them in my own time but once I'm confident you're not a threat i will be your best friend. I do best in a calm home without lots of visitors or young children, where I can feel safe and relaxed.The good news? I’m housetrained, I know some basic commands, I love playing with toys, I travel well, and I sleep peacefully through the night. I tend to avoid other dogs, though I might react if they react to me first, and I’m a little nervous around traffic and loud noises — so slow and steady wins the day with me!If you’re willing to give me time, patience, and lots of gentle reassurance, I’d love to show you what a loyal and loving companion I can be. I might need you to visit me more than once so I can really get to know you before you take me home.

Brodie is approximately 18mths old and has been neutered. He does have limited vision due to bilateral cataracts. He was originally found as a stray and we are told he did spent time in two different foster home. Since being in our care he has spent a week living in a home but because it was a terraced house he became reactive on hearing all the different noises from the neighbours and would bark, although he was fine with noise from within his own home.Brodie needs a quiet environment and someone that has an understanding of the needs of a dog with very limited vision.He is a friendly boy, he is housetrained, travels well, is good with other dogs and enjoys curling up on the sofa with people.

Hello everyone! My name is Jack or "Little Jack" to my friends here at the Trust. I may be smaller than your average size collie but I have a big heart and I am now looking for my owners who I can give that love to.I am 4 and a half years old and have been neutered. I travelled over to the UK from Romania where I was staying in a kill shelter. I haven't experienced much of the outside world but I did mix with other dogs there and living with another may help my confidence grow. When I first arrived I was very scared of being handled and didn't want to walk on a lead. I am gradually trying to conquer these fears but it will take me some time.I now get excited to see the staff and I love it when they scratch behind my ears.I would prefer a quiet home without children.Thank you for taking the time to read about me and I hope someone will give me the chance.

Milo is an 8 month old entire Border Collie. He originally came into our care from another rescue. He was of 3 pups. He then spent 4 months in a home but the owners didn't feel their environment was right for him as they had another dog and chickens.Milo is easily worried/aroused by some sounds and some visual triggers such as dogs barking, birds on the ground and his own reflection. He then finds it difficult to settle down again.Milo requires a quiet home and environment and would be better as an only pet.He is housetrained, crate trained, responds to basic commands and travels well. His behaviour around other dogs is variable as he does get easily overwhelmed. He has only been left alone odd hours so this will need to be built up over time.

She came into our care as her owner had a change in circumstances which meant they could no longer care for Tally.She was in a home for 10 days but returned as they found her too strong on a lead and on one occasion she barked at 2 small dogs on a walk.Tally can be a little shy when she first meets new people so does require a gentle hand and space in the early days.She is house trained, responds to basic commands and is good being left alone for a few hours.She is worried getting into a vehicle (ok once in) and is worried being excessively groomed so these will need to be built up. Tally is looking for a quiet home without young children. She can live with a cat.

Hi there! I’m Willow. I was 4 on Christmas Eve. I first came into care because my previous owner couldn’t give me enough time with work and a little one at home. I have had a few short stays in a couple of other homes but they didn't work out and unfortunately in the last one the man took a bag out of my mouth that had treats in it and because I got frustrated I snapped at him, but maybe a little too hard as my tooth punctured his skin. I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give me a moment and I soon warm up. I’m housetrained, happy to be left alone, and I travel well. I love playing ball and get along with other dogs. When I’m out walking, I can get a bit excited around traffic, but I’m learning!I’m looking for a patient, loving home where I can feel safe and enjoy lots of fuss, fun and games.
