BreedGerman Shepherd

Are you right for Aiden?Aiden is searching for his forever home with owners who lead an active lifestyle. He would love adopters who can help channel his energy into scent games and appropriate activities. He is looking for a family who is confident and comfortable around large dogs and can live with children 14+ who are also comfortable around larger breeds. Aiden is a smart boy who knows many tricks, and being a clever working breed, he needs a home that has the time to continue his ongoing training, including calm introductions to dogs on lead and managing his excitable behaviour. He may be able to live with another dog if they are a good match. He will also need a private garden where he can have a run around when he is not out on walks.Is Aiden right for you?Aiden is an active and intelligent German Shepherd. He is looking for a loving family with patience and enthusiasm for training. Aiden has not had the best start in life and would benefit from living in a quiet residential or rural home to help him settle into his new environment. He is a growing puppy, highly motivated by food, who loves to learn through scent games, puzzles and play. He is a goofball and loves to zoom around and interact with his handlers. Aiden's brain doesn’t quite communicate with his legs yet, so he is still working on mastering walking at one speed and direction at a time. He is an absolute sweetheart who would make a lovely companion!

BreedJack Russell Terrier

Are you right for Ajax?Meet gorgeous boy, Ajax! Ajax is a 7-year old Jack Russell angel, looking for his forever home! Ajax has had a bit of a hard time in kennels so far, so would love a family who can give him all the time, patience and love to settle in at his own pace. Ajax would prefer to be the only dog but could live with a calm, well mannered dog pending a successful meet in the centre. Ajax enjoys a little fuss on his own terms once he has gotten to know you, but can be timid initially so would prefer for all children in the home to be 16yrs+. Ajax needs an understanding, quieter home where he can build his confidence and build a bond with his people. He is happy to do nice parallel walks with quieter, low energy dogs but still likes his own space. He is a super sweet, cute, angelic boy who is really missing his home comforts and can't wait to have his own little sofa to curl up on.Is Ajax right for you?Ajax is a sweet little man with a gentle nature. He would prefer for his people to be at home with him for the majority of the time while he settles into a new home, and leaving hours to be built up slowly. He walks beautifully on lead and does enjoy a short potter around where he can take in all the sights and sniffs. Ajax would prefer a quieter environment as louder noises can be quite spooky, and he is quite a sensitive lad so would prefer an area that's not too busy with traffic or people while he settles in. We can't wait to see this lovely gentleman enjoy his golden years feeling loved - as he deserves to be!

Are you right for Ajax?Ajax is a lively young lad, just 2 years old, bursting with energy and enthusiasm for life. He is confident and excitable when meeting new people and loves attention, but he will need patient, understanding owners who can help him channel that excitement in positive ways. Ajax has ongoing training needs and will thrive in a home committed to continuing his learning at his pace. He cannot be left alone for long periods, so time spent building up his confidence with being left will be essential. Our Training and Behaviour team will be on hand to offer guidance and support to help Ajax settle and succeed in his new home.Is Ajax right for you?Ajax is a high-energy dog who will suit an active home that can meet both his physical and mental needs. He loves exploring new places and is very alert to his surroundings. When meeting other dogs, Ajax can feel conflicted and may appear excitable, shy, or worried, so he will need continued socialisation and careful introductions. He cannot live with cats, other dogs, small furries, or children, as he currently has limited impulse control, but he can enjoy having calm walking buddies. With structure, patience, and consistent training, Ajax has the potential to grow into a wonderful companion for the right person who is ready to invest time, understanding, and love into his journey. Due to his excitable nature, Ajax will need multiple meets with potential adopters.

Albie

SexMale
Age7 years
BreedDachshund

Are you right for Albie?Albie would be best suited to a calm, quiet home where he can relax and feel safe to let his personality shine with time. Albie is looking for a home where any children are sensible, calm and of upper secondary ages. Albie has a history of being worried by children generally so would not suit a home with any younger visiting children. He isn't overly social when it comes to other dogs, much preferring the company of his human friends. Typical of his breed, Albie can be reactive towards smaller animals and cats, he would therefore like to be the only pet in the home. Albie would be best suited to a home with access to a private garden but homes without a garden may be considered in quieter areas. Albie can be shy of new people initially so would like a home where he has the ability to be separated, taking himself away to settle if he feels overwhelmed. Albie is up for rehoming through our homestay scheme meaning he is staying in the comforts of his own home whilst we find a home for him, he therefore is not based at the rehoming centre.Is Albie right for you?Introducing Albie, he's a 7 year old Dachshund seeking a home where he can settle his paws. Albie loves the quiet life, enjoying gentle strolls and snoozing the afternoon away under his blanket. He can be a sensitive soul, taking a little time to warm up to new people and being worried by loud noises, but he shows his cheeky side when his favourite squeaky toys come out! Albie is used to being left alone for longer periods so wouldn't mind doing so again once he is settled into his new home, he doesn't mind heading off for a trip in the car either.

Alfie has worked closely with the team around feeding times and loves to show off his skills. He will do best with a family who are happy to continue this in the home. Alfie loves walking with doggy friends but is looking to be the only dog in his new home, and is looking for an adult only home. He would also really benefit from a garden of his own.Is Alfie right for you?Alfie thrives with a gentle, understanding approach to handling and care. He builds strong bonds with his people, and becomes increasingly affectionate as that connection grows. Once Alfie is settled at home, his playful side will begin to shine, and he’ll enjoy interacting with you over a game of fetch or tug. His favourite pastimes include relaxing on his own with a chew, sniffy walks in rural areas, paddling in the water, playtime in the garden, and spending quality time with his most-loved people. Alfie is a very clever boy and he knows multiple toys by name!

Are you right for Alvie?Stunning youngster Alvie is a 2 year old Lab who has more energy than he knows what to do with! Our behaviour team would be happy to work alongside his new family to support with these behaviours during and after his adoption. Although Alvie is a very sociable fella, he'd love to make friends whilst out and about on his walks, but he'd be best placed as the only dog in the home at the moment, and to have quick access into a garden space of some sort. This gorgeous golden boy has had an unsettled start in life so is looking for an experienced and dedicated family who can help him thrive.Is Alvie right for you?Adorable Alvie is able to be left home alone for around 4 hours once he is settled. As a typical Lab, he does love his food so he is eager to learn tricks for some tasty treats! Alvie is also not the biggest fan of the car, so wouldn't be keen to plan any big road trips at the moment. Alvie has some ongoing medical requirements that our vet team can discuss in more detail with his future family. He would love to meet his family several times at the centre, and have some sleepovers, before he is adopted to help set him up for success, as he has had multiple homes already. This handsome lad is a huge personality and he is super playful - he's going to make a very rewarding addition to a committed family.
