About Canine Rescue Centre

The rescue centre has been purpose-built with dog welfare as its highest priority and has been continually developed since it was first acquired in 2003. Over the years, the site has been renovated to include modern facilities such as a dedicated rehoming block with individual covered runs, underfloor heating, and secure grass exercise areas. Additional puppy and isolation units were introduced in 2013 to support dogs requiring specialist care or recovery. The centre also benefits from extensive outdoor space, including a large enclosed paddock for safe off-lead exercise, as well as specialist kennels for dogs undergoing medical treatment.

Bandit, a 1 year old female Crossbreed available for adoption from Canine Rescue Centre in Scotland

SexFemale
Age1 year
BreedCrossbreed

Meet Bandit - the one year old crossbreed full of potential but running on a slightly overloaded operating system.Bandit has a big personality and little understanding of the concept of doing things in moderation. Everything is exciting and she doesn't quite understand why we're not always as exuberant as she is. When Bandit came to us she didn't have the coping skills to process her big feelings. However she is working very hard with her handlers to learn more appropriate methods of dealing with those big feels, and making excellent progress. Underneath it all, she is a clever, engaged dog who is desperately trying to get it right. With an experienced owner, they'll soon find out what we already know: she's a real diamond in the rough.

Hugo, a 2 years old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier available for adoption from Canine Rescue Centre in Scotland

Hugo

SexMale
Age2 years
BreedStaffordshire Bull Terrier

This is the very handsome Hugo! He is a sweet boy but can be very shy on first meet. He hasn't been with us long so we will update his profile as we get to know him. So far we have found him to be a little timid with close handling and he can be a little reactive towards other dogs he doesn't know. He does seem to be gaining a little confidence every day so we hope to keep building on that. Due to his unknown history we wont be rehoming him with cats or young children.

Meet Marla - our resident whirlwind in a fluffy coat!Marla is a 2 and a half year old golden doodle with an enthusiasm for life and no intention of doing things at half speed. She is a happy, bouncy, nose-led explorer who believes every walk must be an adventure!Marla's favourite hobby is using her nose to investigate... well everything. If there's a sniff to be smelled, Detective Marla is on the case. Long, sniffy walks are Marla's idea of heaven.She's currently working on her lead manners as she is under the impression that walking is a team sport where she leads and you follow. With the right input, patience and consistency she'll make a fantastic companion.

SexMale
Age3 years
BreedGerman Shepherd

Meadow is a real sweetheart with an occasional cheeky side! He walks great on the lead and really enjoys a run off lead in our fully secure paddock. We have found him to be gentle and calm when meeting new people and feel he is ready for the next step in his journey. Meadow has come so far since he has came into us and he would need someone who is patient understanding with his training going forward. Teaching him that the world is not as scary as he believes it to be.Any potential new homes would have experience in large breeds and ideally have some knowledge in under socialised dogs, also with the time and patience to bring this lovely lad up to what we know his full potential could be.Any potential homes will need to be extremely patient and understanding with their training going forward.

SexMale
Age3 years
BreedGerman Shepherd

Rae is a playful boy with a cheeky side who enjoys rough play with his canine friends. He can be reserved when meeting new people, so any potential dog and human companion would need multiple meet-and-greets at the centre.Rae came to us as an unclaimed stray and is believed to have previously lived in a multi-dog kennel environment with very limited human interaction. He has made fantastic progress in our care, but he will need ongoing patience and understanding as he adjusts to home life.

Ruby, a 7 months old female Crossbreed available for adoption from Canine Rescue Centre in Scotland

Ruby

Scotland
SexFemale
Age7 months
BreedCrossbreed

Ruby is a lovely young SBT crossbreed who is looking for a calm, understanding home where she can feel safe and build her confidence. She is undersocialised and can be wary of strangers, but once you gain her trust you see her cheeky, playful side. Ruby can be reactive on lead towards other dogs due to past negative experiences and will need slow, positive introductions to help her feel more comfortable. She will also need support with all her basic training, including housetraining, lead walking, recall and general confidence building.
