Hello, I’m Arnie.I’m an 8 year old smooth coat with striking red hair and a very gentle nature. I’m currently carrying a few extra pounds, but I’m on my diet and making steady progress. Slow and steady wins the race as my mum always used to say.My foster mum describes me as a friendly, affectionate boy who really enjoys cuddles and attention. I’m happiest when I’m close to my people, whether that’s sharing the sofa or simply being nearby.I get along beautifully with other dogs and have lovely manners. I’m a calm, easy companion who just wants a safe, loving home and someone to share quiet moments with.If you have room in your heart and on your sofa, I’d love to hear from you.Ready and waitingLove,ArnieXX

Hello. We’re Billy and Bear.We're a devoted father and son pair looking for a calm, understanding home together.We are very bonded and take comfort in one another. If we feel unsure, we look to each other for reassurance. Because of that, we need a quiet household where life is predictable and gentle.We haven’t been cat tested and would be best suited to a home without cats. We also need an adult only home with no busy social scene. We can feel overwhelmed by too much noise or activity, so adopters should be calm, experienced with small dogs and able to move at our pace.It’s clear we haven’t experienced much of the outside world before coming into rescue. Our foster home has been carefully building our confidence with short buggy trips and we’re making steady progress. We’ve now had our final vaccinations, so short walks can begin very soon. Each new step is helping us grow.We are both booked in for dentals on 13th March. Following that, we will be castrated, fully vaccinated until 2027 and fully up to date with our veterinary care. Billy just needs his recent procedure fully healed and Bear is gradually gaining weight as he’s currently on the lean side.House training is something we are still learning. We need adopters who are at home most of the time and able to let us out regularly (around hourly for now) so we can continue building good habits with patience and consistency.We can be unsure with visitors. The key with us is simple: allow us to approach in our own time and avoid reaching over our heads. When we feel safe and respected, we respond beautifully.In the right environment — calm, steady, and committed — we will form incredibly loyal bonds. We are affectionate, sensitive little boys who have already made great progress in foster care with our foster mum. With continued gentle guidance, we will continue to flourish.If you can offer us patience, structure, and a peaceful life together, we will give you devoted companionship in return.Can't wait to meet you.LoveBilly and BearXX

Hello.I’m Bramble, the black Pomchi. They think I'm around 9½ years old, but they can't be sure and I can't remember. That can happen when you get a bit older. Anyway, this is my very dear friend Bentley, although we all call him Benny, a gold Chihuahua estimated to be about 8½ years old. We’re a closely bonded pair of boys and are looking for a home together.We’ve been in our foster home now for around six weeks and have really started to settle. I’m the more confident one and Benny takes a lot of reassurance from having me by his side. We’re happiest when we’re together and we look to each other a lot. He's only got to glance my way and I know exactly what he's thinking. We’re very much a package deal.I’m the cuddlier of the two of us and I do absolutely adore snuggling up close to people. I’ll gently paw you when I’d like some affection so you can oblige. Benny is just as loving in his own way, but he prefers to just follow everyone from room to room, quietly keeping an eye on whatever’s going on.We’re both house trained, although if the weather is bad we’re not overly keen to head outside. Just saying. As we’ve settled, we’ve both grown in confidence and become more playful, especially me, which our foster family say is lovely to see.When it comes to walks, I enjoy heading out and exploring at my own pace, whereas Benny needs a bit more persuasion. He’s much happier pottering around the garden, which he'll do for ages, sniffing and taking everything in slowly. I think having me alongside him when we're out does help him feel a little braver.We can both be noise reactive and will bark at people or dogs passing the house, as well as when we’re out and about. Because of this, we’d suit a quieter, calm, understanding home with people who are happy to help us feel safe and supported.Health-wise, we’re being well looked after. Benny is booked in for a dental at the vets on the 16th January and I’m getting used to having my teeth brushed. I’m also on a special diet at the moment as I’m getting into shape for the summer. I’m doing well with that.At night, we love sharing the bed with our people, but we will also settle in another room if needed. Just so you know, Benny is a very loud snorer, which our foster family finds extremely endearing.We could live with another small friendly dog with the right introductions. Because we’re sensitive souls and can be easily startled, we’d be best suited to a home with older children only.We’re affectionate, comical little characters, and foster mum says any family willing to offer us a calm, loving home will be very lucky to have us.Get in touch soon if you think that could be you. We'd love to hear from you.Love,Bramble and BennyXx

Hello, my name is Rocky.I’m 5 years old. I’ve been living with my foster mum for 4.5 months.My foster mum tells me I’m a very special boy. I’m energetic and love my walks, but I feel safest staying on my lead as I can sometimes get worried by other dogs and might bark if I’m unsure. Because of that, my recall isn’t reliable just yet, so lead walks and safe, secure spaces suit me best.I’m also an excellent little guard dog and will always let you know if there are loud noises or anything unusual outside. I take my home security duties very seriously and I have a very impressive bark to prove it!I am super cuddly and I’m looking for a home where I won’t be left for long, as I really love being close to my person. I’ll happily follow you around like a little shadow and keep you company all day. I do get worried if I’m left on my own, but I’m always overjoyed when my humans come back. My ideal home would be somewhere with someone around most of the time, or with people who are happy to take me out and about with them. I’m very well behaved in cafés and I travel beautifully in the car too.I would prefer to be the only dog in the home so I can have all the love and attention to myself. I can feel a bit competitive around other dogs when it comes to humans, toys or treats, so I’ll thrive as your one-and-only best friend.I absolutely love my food! When I first arrived, I was underweight, but I’ve enjoyed my meals very much and I’m now looking fabulous. You might just need to help me keep to a sensible diet so I stay at my perfect weight. My fur has grown fluffy and bushy and, if I do say so myself, my ears are definitely my best feature.I have epilepsy, which means I take medication twice a day (morning and night). It’s just a small amount of liquid mixed into my food – I don’t even notice it. I’ve been seizure-free the whole time I’ve been with my foster mum, which is wonderful news.At night, I love to sleep in the bedroom with my humans. I enjoy snuggling on top of the bed (under the covers isn’t really my thing) and sometimes I’ll choose to hop down into my own bed on the floor if I fancy a change. I just like to know my people are close by. I’m not a big fan of being alone in the dark, so I’ll need to sleep in the same room as you.I’m fully toilet trained and very polite about letting you know when I need to go out. If you miss my first signal, don’t worry, I’ll give you a little bark reminder.Thank you for reading about me. I can’t wait to meet my forever person.Lots of loveRockyxx
