He has a high prey drive and therefore won’t be going on rural farmyard walks anytime soon – let’s put it that way!Atlas will have his meet and greets at our Kennel facility between Cheddar and Wells.

Bessie would like somewhere where someone is around most of the time as she very much enjoys her human company, and may become more reliant on this in her settling in period.

Background –Dakota and Takani have joined us after a sad change in circumstances meant their owner could no longer care for them.Character –These girls are a gorgeous pair that people have nothing but good things to say about. They gain comfort and confidence from being together and are the best of friends, playing happily together (even if they could do with a bit more spatial awareness when they do so!).Type of home –The girls are looking for a calm but active home – they love being outside. They haven’t previously lived with dogs but they are friendly with the dogs they meet, so they may be able to live in a home with other dogs. Whilst not tested with cats, they have never shared a home with felines, so we think they’d be best suited to a home without cats. When on lead, the girls can be very strong and excitable, so they will need a confident handler. Both girls have travelled well with us, although they do need some initial encouragement, and are used to being left for short periods. However, they do have typical husky vocals, so they may not be suited to noise-sensitive homes.The girls are residents at our Kennels between Cheddar and Wells and potential adopters will need to meet them here.Our catchment area for rehoming is Somerset and the local surrounding areas (such as Bristol, Bath, Weston Super Mare and Wiltshire).

Background –Frankie joined us from the pound, so little is known about his history.Character –Frankie is a young and cheeky boy. He’s playful and full of life! He can be a little clumsy, and we think he has a bit of filling out to do, but he loves to play and be made a fuss of. After all the excitement is done, he’s happy to be your foot warmer.Type of home –Frankie loves being outside, so he is looking for an active home. We believe he’s quite young and has some learning to do – he is very smart and has already learnt some commands whilst in foster (he even knows how to open doors!). Frankie does have a prey drive, so he can’t live with cats or small animals. We think he would be best suited with a dog of a similar size, that will be tolerant of his young and playful nature. Health –Frankie is generally in good health. He does have a sensitive tummy, which means he’s avoiding certain proteins in his diet.Frankie is in foster care in Street, and potential adopters will need to meet him here.Our catchment area for rehoming is Somerset and the local surrounding areas (such as Bristol, Bath, Weston Super Mare and Wiltshire).

He can live with or without a resident dog of a similar size. Any resident dog(s) will need to be tolerant of Hugo’s excitable nature, as he loves nothing more than to play around with his foster brother.

He is very affectionate and likes to stay close by. He is very intelligent, loves being outdoors, and enjoys playing scent-based games.
