He could live with another dog after a successful introduction. He is happy being left for periods of time but does love a car journey and going on new adventures.Dexter does live with children at the minute and loves the attention they give him, he might be best suited to older dog savvy children as he is excitable and can forget his size.If you feel you could offer Dexter the loving home he deserves please contact the office directly on 01224 208989 or click on “Request to adopt Dexter now”.

Beautiful boy Goose is looking for his forever, loving home.Goose is a very loving, affectionate and gentle whippet. He is also quite timid, nervous and has separation anxiety so would thrive best in a quiet, predictable home where someone is around for most of the time at least until he is more confident. He loves cuddles, attention and to be with his humans as much as possible, most likely due to being through a lot of changes in his life. He can be very whiny and cry if he cannot follow you into a room. He is also not confident when being left alone, almost at all. He gets anxious and cries when he notices someone is getting ready to go outside or leaves, even if he is not being left alone. When he is left alone, he will cry/howl when he notices and it takes him a while to settle down.Other than that, he is relaxed at home after his walks, loves playing with his toys and usually sleeps on the sofa or in his crate (open). He is very cuddly in the evenings, sleeping on a cosy lap or on his electric blanket.Overnight, he sleeps happily in the living room with the door shut and is calm.Outside, he is calm and easy-going on his walks, not pulling on the lead and enjoys sniffing lots. He loves being off the lead in the garden to play with a ball or tug and will get zoomies but does not have reliable recall, so the use of a long lead is essential to be safe. A large enclosed garden for Goose would be ideal.On walks he is not reactive to other dogs, but can get excited sometimes when he sees some smaller dogs. He greets other calm dogs nicely. Notably, other reactive / excitable dogs tend to quickly turn aggressive around him and bully him, as he can be very anxious around them.He is a clever dog and responds well to training, having learned sit / lie down / stay, although he is not always food motivated, so high value treats are key.Due to his nervous demeanour we think an adult only home would be best suited.Ongoing training on his recall outside and crate training will be required as well as his separation anxiety but overall he is a wonderful dog that will reward your time and effort back with love and cuddles.Goose is a timid and nervous dog, he is not confident when left alone, and often cries/howls for some time before settling but if you feel you could offer Goose the stability and training he requires please contact the office directly on 01224 208989 or click on “Request to adopt Goose now”.

It may last a few weeks before getting destuffed!Harley loves going for walks, especially off lead in an enclosed area. She does pull on the lead when excited. She has never lived with another dog and we think she would be best as an only dog.We feel a large enclosed garden in a semi rural area would suit her best, where she can chill out and enjoy the sun.Due to her energy levels and her size, an adult only home or a home with older, dog savvy children would be ideal.She likes travelling in the car and is happy being left for around 4 hours.

No experience of cats as far as we know.Heidi is a very lazy dog and only requires short walks.

His recall is mostly good but if his prey drive kicks in it can be a hit or miss.Romy does have a fairly strong prey drive for anything from cats, mice or birds.He can show guarding tendencies, mainly around his food bowl and sometimes toys.

Beautiful lady Skye is looking for a very special someone to offer her the best home.Within the house Skye is a very playful loving dog, but does not like new people coming into the house. She will bark and will not approach them.With people she trusts, she likes to be close to you and will even follow you to the toilet. Although not an overly affectionate dog she does like company.Skye can react to the microwave door, oven door, tumble dryer door and TV (football game being on for example) by spinning around and getting worked up.If someone takes Skye on when out she will react towards them barking with occasional lunge and then will step back. Pulling her into heel position helps counteract this. When someone walks towards her, it’s best to act before Skye has a chance to react (by moving Skye to the other side of the body and with her being told to sit and wait).Skye is anxious of loud noises (for example, fireworks, household drills, etc), She can get a fear of larger objects if she’s not sure what they are (for example a large shopping bag sitting on the table if she hasn’t seen you put this down). She likes to suss things out and feel comfortable in her surroundings.She has a good recall when in an open area with no distractions.Skye loves playing ‘find the toy #(if you hide a toy and say “where’s cookie for example) – she knows her toys by name.She loves playing in the snow and doesn’t mind walks in the rain. Generally loves the freedom of running while out for walks, especially chasing after her ball.Skye knows a number of commands (sit, down, paw, spin, wait, rollover and more) and enjoys responding to these commands before throwing a toy. When putting Skye’s food out, she’ll be told to ‘leave’ and then ‘take’ once it’s put down, she’ll also do this when playing with a toy.She loves having a job to do, from being told to look out for a family member coming into the house to being asked to go and find a certain toy from her toy box. Engaging her brain is a must for her.Skye loves going out for car journeys and looking out the window.Skye would benefit with an owner with collie experience but also reactive and nervous dogs. She will need someone with a lot of time and patience to bring out her full potential. She would also benefit from a fairly rural home and a quiet household.If you feel you could offer Skye the loving home she deserves please contact the office directly on 01224 208989 or click on “Request to adopt Skye now”.
