Are you right for Alfie?Alfie is a 5-year-old crossbreed who's ready to find his perfect match! He is an active boy who thrives on adventure, learning, and spending time with his people. He's looking for a home that can offer plenty of mental enrichment, enjoyable walks, and training to help him continue to flourish. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share an active lifestyle with, Alfie could be the one for you! Alfie can sometimes get a little overexcited, so he'd be happiest in a home with children of secondary school age or older who can enjoy his enthusiastic nature. He'd like to be the only pet in the home, giving him the chance to settle in and build a strong bond with his new family. Once he's feeling comfortable, he can enjoy socialising with other dogs out and about. He's previously been happy being left for a few hours and is housetrained, although he may need a little reminder as he adjusts to his new surroundings. Alfie can find busy roads a little overwhelming, so he'd love a home with access to quieter walking routes where he can explore and build his confidence.Is Alfie right for you?Alfie is currently being rehomed under our Homestay scheme. Under this scheme, the dog stays with their current owner until the point of adoption, when ownership transfers briefly to Dogs Trust and then to the new adopters. The benefits of Homestay for a dog are that it minimises disruption and prevents the dog having to come into kennels, however there is the potential the owner may pull out of the scheme prior to adoption. We understand the upset this may cause to potential adopters, and we work closely with owners to minimise the likelihood of this. However, it remains a possibility, and should this occur, Dogs Trust will prioritise finding adopters an alternative suitable dog.

Are you right for Alfie?Alfie is looking for an active home who want to teach him some fun skills and put his brain to use. He prefers the company of humans, so much so, that he would prefer to to be the only pet in the home. Alfie mostly will ignore dogs out and about, especially if you have a ball for a distraction. Alfie likes to keep things that he finds on the floor and may resist handing them over over, so an older teen -adult home would be more suitable for him in these situations. He struggles with being left home alone, so his new owners need to ensure that he not on his own for long lengths of time initially, and for any time being left to be built up very gradually. Alfie likes to sleep in a cosy crate den overnight as he finds this comforting and is he is fully housetrained. Alfie travels well in the car, he just needs a little helping hand getting in. Alfie's adopters will need to commit to helping him on his weight loss journey, so that he can fully enjoy going on adventures!Is Alfie right for you?Alfie thrives when he is outdoors and playing with his ball and will be perfect for an active household. He can live with children of secondary age and upwards who will also follow the advice given when Alfie does pick up items he shouldn't have and understand not to take things directly off him.

Alphie, a 7 years old male Beagle available for adoption from Dogs Trust in Berkshire

Alphie

Berkshire
SexMale
Age7 years
BreedBeagle

Are you right for Alphie?Alphie is a handsome seven-year-old Beagle cross looking for a new home through no fault of his own, as his owner now needs to travel abroad regularly for work. In true Beagle style, Alphie loves following his nose and exploring the world around him. He is looking for a calm, consistent home where he can take his time getting to know everyone and build a strong bond at his own pace. He could live with children of upper secondary school age who are confident around dogs and able to respect his space. Any visiting children should also be of a similar age. Alphie will need to be the only pet in the home, as he can be selective around other dogs and has a strong prey drive, so he cannot live with cats or other small animals. He will also need a secure, private garden where he can enjoy sniffing, relaxing in a sunny spot and exploring safely. Alphie is comfortable being left for up to four hours once settled, especially if he has a cosy sofa to stretch out on. He will need to remain on lead during walks due to his prey drive and limited recall, but he will happily make the most of long, interesting sniffing adventures with his new family.Is Alphie right for you?Alphie is a curious, clever boy who loves food, treats and anything involving a good scent trail. He may initially be more interested in investigating his surroundings than seeking attention, but as his confidence grows, his affectionate side begins to shine. During his assessment, he gradually started accepting gentle chest rubs and even offered a paw when he wanted a little more fuss. He is a cuddly boy at home and enjoys relaxing close to the people he trusts, although he appreciates being given space while sleeping. Like many Beagles, Alphie knows exactly what he likes and prefers ceramic food bowls to metal ones. He eats enthusiastically, so currently uses a slow feeder to help him enjoy his meals at a steadier pace. Alphie can sometimes pick up items he should not have and may become worried if someone tries to take them directly from him. His new family will need to continue using positive swaps with high-value treats and manage the home carefully to prevent tempting items being left within reach (socks included!). He enjoys playing ball and tug with his favourite toy pig, although he is best suited to sturdy toys as he may ingest softer ones. New toys should be introduced carefully, as he can initially feel protective of new unfamiliar items. Alphie is looking for patient adopters who will respect his boundaries, continue his training and give him the time he needs to trust. In return, they will gain a loyal, characterful friend who loves sniffy walks, sunny snoozes and curling up near his favourite people.

Are you right for Angus?Angus is looking for a home where he will be the only dog, and any children are teenagers. He is house trained but will need someone at home with him all day initially whilst he settles in, as he has previously shown signs of being distressed if left alone. He will need multiple meets at the centre and a sleepover or two before going home for good.Is Angus right for you?If you're looking for a cuddle buddy then your search is over! Angus has ambitions of being a lap dog and folds his legs as small as he can in an attempt to get close to his favourite people. He gets very excited when he sees his handlers and just adores being made a fuss of, and loves being taken out for his walks. When out and about, Angus is strong on his lead and his carers have worked on his interactions with other dogs, and he can now walk close to others without worry. He's a confident boy who loves to explore new spaces and views any bed as his own, quickly plonking himself down in one! Angus arrived in our care as a stray, and we're pretty sure he has been used as a working dog as he has scars on his face and is missing a small part of his lip. It doesn't hinder him in any way and certainly doesn't affect his strong, handsome face. Due to his background, we do walk Angus muzzled to protect our wildlife, and he isn't bothered one bit by this. Angus is a very loving dog who deserves a brighter future at the heart of a family. He's a joy to be with and will bring immense pleasure to his new family.

Are you right for Anna?Anna gets along well with kennelmate Flint and they can be rehomed together, and she will walk happily with other Greyhounds. She can live with teenagers. She is an ex-racing dog and we have no real history for her, and she is unlikely to be used to living in a home so please be patient with her, Greyhounds do tend to settle quickly. Anna has some ongoing medical issues with dry eye and back pain, but financial support for this will be available upon adoption.Is Anna right for you?Anna is a very affectionate Greyhound who loves to be close to you and her soft, dense fur makes her very hard to resist. She knows that we often have treats in our pockets and bags and she will sneakily poke her long snout in there when you think she's coming for a cuddle! Anna is very calm on her walks but can be a little unsure when meeting other breeds of dog, due to a lack of exposure to them. She gets along fabulously with her kennel mate Flint and they are often cuddled up together, and we would happily rehome them as a pair. Anna loves to say hello to people and will happily put her paws on your shoulder to get nice and close! It's likely Anna has never been in a home before so please be patient with her house training and getting used to spending time alone. Greyhounds often pick up toilet training very quickly and usually nap when alone.
