Beautiful Betty is one of our very special “handicans” looking for her forever home — and what a character she is. Betty has a disability affecting her back legs due to an unknown previous injury. While she doesn’t have direct movement in them, she does use them for leverage and balance, and she gets around far better than you might expect. We’ll be reviewing her condition further with our vet, but please don’t let her disability fool you — it certainly doesn’t hold her back!Betty is bright, happy, and full of life. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs, enjoys rolling around on her back, and has a wonderful way of making everyone around her laugh. She greets people with pure enthusiasm, cuddles, and tail wags — her sweet, affectionate temperament really is one of her most endearing qualities.She is used to living in a home environment, settles well indoors, and is toilet trained. Importantly, she does not require any assistance to go to the toilet. She cannot navigate stairs so will need to live on a ground floor property, ideally with access to a private garden.She has previously lived with cats but we will be carrying out further assessments at the rescue. Betty loves the company of other dogs however, she can display food-guarding behaviours around them, so she will need to be fed separately (she absolutely adores her food!)Due to some dragging of her back paws, Betty will need to wear protective boots when out and about to prevent sores. She will need an understanding and committed home that recognises her additional needs and is happy to support her with this small bit of extra management.Her exercise will need to be limited, though she has her own special wheels which she can use too.Betty is playful and can be a little mouthy in her excitement, but this is all part of her joyful, cheeky personality. She doesn’t see herself as different — and neither should you. She is simply a happy, loving dog who happens to move through the world in her own unique way.If you’re looking for an inspiring, affectionate, and truly special companion, Betty might just be your perfect match. Other dogs: Yes. Cats: TBC. Children: 16+.

Beautiful Buddy is a truly special dog with so much love to give. He has spent the last three years living in a family home, where he has shown himself to be affectionate, loyal, and deeply people-focused. Buddy forms strong bonds with those he trusts and loves being close to his people, often happiest when included in everyday life.Buddy is a sensitive boy and does experience anxiety, which means he needs a calm, patient, and understanding home. He can be initially shy and reserved with new people and environments and requires time to feel safe. Once that trust is built, his affectionate and devoted nature really shines through.He is good with children and has lived successfully alongside them, and he can live with other dogs, enjoying their company and play. However, he can be influenced by other dogs’ reactions, so a calm and confident companion would suit him best. Buddy is also cat-friendly.Buddy can be reactive when unfamiliar people enter the home and is particularly wary of strangers, especially men. This behaviour comes from anxiety rather than aggression, and he needs careful management and support around visitors, allowing him space and time without pressure to interact. With familiarity and patience, he does settle and can become very friendly.Outside of the home, Buddy enjoys his walks and absolutely loves running freely in quiet, open spaces where he can truly relax. Busy or high-footfall environments can be challenging for him, so a quieter location with access to secure open land would be ideal. Fireworks and loud noises are particularly difficult for Buddy and can impact his confidence.In the home, Buddy can be restless and seeks reassurance, often wanting to stay close to his people. He will benefit from a home where someone is around for much of the day, as he struggles with being left alone for long periods. His need for closeness reflects how loyal and people-orientated he is.Buddy is intelligent and curious and will need a secure garden with good fencing. He is capable of opening doors if bored or under-stimulated, so sensible management of boundaries will be important. He thrives with mental and physical enrichment and would suit an active household able to meet his needs.Despite his challenges, Buddy is clean and well-mannered in the home, travels well in the car, and is a wonderful companion for the right person. With the right environment, consistency, and understanding, Buddy has the potential to truly relax and flourish. Other dogs: Yes. Cats: Yes. Children: 5+.
