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

Hi, I’m Chase.I’m a handsome 3-year-old boy with a huge personality and lots of character. Some people say I’m curious… others might say a little bit nosey.I’m an excitable, energetic chap who loves treats and long walks more than anything. Whether it’s the seaside, the countryside, or a busy high street, I’m just happiest being out and about exploring the world. I walk beautifully on the lead and apparently strut around like I’m doing a lap at Crufts — head high and back straight!I might look very confident, but underneath it all I can actually be a bit nervous at times. One thing I really don’t like at the moment is being picked up or having my harness and lead put on. I’m making good progress with this in foster, but my forever family will need to be patient and willing to help me continue building my confidence.I get on well with other dogs and have enjoyed play dates with doggy friends. When new people come to the house, I can get very excitable and rather shouty about it! My foster family have discovered that throwing a few pieces of carrot away from guests works brilliantly because I rush off to investigate instead.I think I’d love an active, outdoorsy home with people who enjoy adventures as much as I do. I’m still a bit of a work in progress, but for the right family, I’ll be an absolute dog in a million.Hope to meet you soon.Lots of LoveChaseX

Hello, I’m Foxy.I’m a 12 year old long-haired sable gentleman and if you’re looking for a loyal little shadow with a big heart, I might just be your person.My favourite place in the world is absolutely going to be your lap. I’m very much a people’s dog and love being close to my person. I currently live with other dogs and cope just fine, but if I’m honest, I’d happily swap them all for a cosy sofa and someone to call my own.I’m a very easy little chap to have around. I’m house trained, I eat well (food is one of lifes delights!), I walk nicely on the lead, and I travel brilliantly. I also settle well at night and sleep happily in my crate upstairs. Day to day, I’m quite unbothered by life. Nothing much fazes me and I take things in my stride.I do have one little quirk. I’m not keen on being picked up and might have a little grumble about it, but I do calm down quickly. I also prefer not to be left alone for long periods, as I like company and I travel well, so why not just invite me along with you.You might also like to know I’m an excellent pub dog—I’ll sit on your lap, wagging my tail and charming everyone I meet. I really do love being part of whatever you’re doing.I have recently been diagnosed with a heart murmur (grade 3/4), and I’ve started medication for this. I’m doing really well and improving every day, so I’m hoping to find a home that will continue to support me with my medication and enjoy all the love I have to give.I’m a gentle, affectionate little soul who’s just looking for a lap, some companionship, and a place to call home for my golden years.Could that be with you?Get in touch soon.Lots of loveFoxyxx
