Amelia is a bright, young girl who is looking for a loving home to call her own. Full of life and enthusiasm, she’s a typical youngster who loves to run around at 100mph, catch every sniff, play with her toys, and make the most of every walk & minute with her humans.Amelia will need some ongoing training from the basics up, as she’s still learning about the world and prior to coming to us has likely had no input. Her lead walking is improving nicely—she can be a little excitable and all over the place at the start of her walks, but once she settles, she does walk much better. With a bit of patience and consistency, she’s sure to continue making great progress but training classes will certainly help her.She has been good with other dogs during her time here and could potentially live with another dog, provided temperaments suit.Amelia is a very friendly girl who enjoys human company, though she can sometimes look for reassurance in new or uncertain situations. Because of this, she’ll benefit from a home that can help build her confidence and support her as she continues to grow.With her fun-loving nature and affectionate personality, Amelia has so much potential to be a wonderful companion. All she needs is someone willing to give her time and invest in her training.

Poor Annie was unfortunately returned to us as she was let out the front door and nipped the delivery drivers bottom We know she isn't going to be an easy rehome but we are going to give it our best shot. She is stubborn especially on walks and quite single minded so doesn't need an active home. On the flip side she loves to play especially with squeaky toys and all her energy is put into that instead of exercise! Annie likes to keep her family to herself and would prefer no visitors in her home, although she is a massive foodie and can be bribed but a busy household wouldn't suit this princess. Once you are in her trust circle she will shower you with kisses, licks and tummy tickles with the occasional headbutt if she gets too excited. According to her last owner she wasn't bothered around dogs - we have found she can be 50 / 50 with them so unfortunately a pet free.We don't mean to be negative nellies but we do need to be as honest as we can so that we can find her the right home where someone can give her a real chance.If you think that might be you PLEASE get in touch and request an adoption questionnaire via emailinfo@forest-dog-rescue.org.uk

MEET BINGO This gorgeous 2-year-old bundle of happiness is Bingo… and we just can’t believe he’s been overlooked for so long! Bingo has sadly spent over 12 months with another rescue without any interest So we’ve stepped in to help this amazing boy finally find the forever home he deserves. And honestly? We have NO idea why he’s been waiting… Bingo is the kind of dog who wakes up excited about life every single day. He thrives on attention, loves making new friends (human and canine!), and will happily be your shadow and your adventure buddy. He can be strong on the lead, but since starting to walk on a headcollar he’s doing so much better with continued guidance and consistency, he’ll keep improving. Because he gets so excited during play, he can sometimes become a little mouthy. This isn’t nasty behaviour — just an over-enthusiastic, playful lad who will need ongoing training and boundaries to help him channel that excitement appropriately. He’s young, eager, and ready to learn but would probably do best in a home without young children. Bingo would love an active home that can continue his training, give him plenty of exercise, and shower him with the love he’s been waiting far too long for. After a whole year without interest, let’s make sure Bingo’s next chapter is his best one yet!

Cardi is unfortunately looking for a new home as her owners declining health mean that she isn't getting the walks and time she needs, so hopefully we can find her a nice retirement home!As Cardi has never been in kennels before her owner is keeping her at home so she doesn't have to endure the stress of kennels but she has come up to us for her assessment which she flew through.When Cardi came up to the kennels she was super happy to greet everyone and absolutely loved all the fuss she could get, she walked well on the lead, came back to her name in the playpen and enjoyed getting all the sniffs she could sniff!We have been told that she is super chill in the home opting to snooze her days away though she can be playful at times and will bark to let you know, after a quick tuggy game or play with her favourite bone she then gets back on the sofa to resume her nap. Cardi is housetrained, fine to be left on her own, travels well, does love her walks, knows her basic commands (though only usually obeys if there is treat bribery!) and loves her fuss. She is great with people, if anyone enters the house she quickly goes off to retrieve her favourite bone to show them!We are looking for a dog free home for Cardi as she's never lived with dogs nor has she had much to do with other dogs, she does live with cats but can be quite boisterous when she wants them to play.Cardi needs a home where she can start her weight loss program as she is in need of loosing a fair few pounds but hopefully with regular gentle walks gradually building up she will trim down and be able to enjoy longer walks.Overall Cardi is a big cuddle monkey who just needs a home to love her, give her the fuss she craves and get her out enjoying walks!

Beautiful DOLLY, this absolute babe is now looking for her furever family. Dolly is around 2yrs old and a real cuddle monster.She has come into us from another rescue so no history is known. Since arriving here with us she has been golden and hasn't put a paw out of place. She did go out briefly but unfortunately she exhibited behaviour that was not suited to the home and she really didn't cope or adapt well. We have since done more work and exposure with her and feel she is ready to try again in the right home and environmentShe hasn't done much lead walking here as she had a little graze on her paw when she came in so was on limited walking and was super good when popping a little wound powder on it bless her. Unfortunately she then developed a little cough so has been restricted over the last week to meeting new dogs and going out and about.Through all of this she has not changed one bit of her attitude or temperament she is such a super happy cuddly girl.Now Dolly's foot is much better she definitely enjoys her zoomies and playing with toys and you can see her fun loving cheeky side is emerging.From what we've seen she walks really well on the lead so far and she loves the dogs she has met before she was isolated due to her cough.Dolly would love to be a big lap dog if she had the chance (maybe a little too portly.......sshhhh don't tell her she's been on a diet she doesn't know) when not running around with the zoomies. She has the most super loving nature and will make a wonderful family dog.

Hope recently came into our care after we previously helped her mum, Lena, find a home. We had agreed to take Hope when space became available, and she has now joined us ready to start her own journey.Before arriving, Hope spent time in a foster home where she lived with both children and other dogs. She has settled in well and shown herself to be a typical young dog—bouncy, full of life, and keen to be involved in everything going on around her.She is still very much learning, especially when it comes to lead walking. At the moment she can be a bit of a trip hazard, but she is improving each day and will benefit from continued training and consistency. She would be a great candidate for training classes to help her develop into a well-mannered adult dog.Hope is looking for a home where she can be part of the family and included in day-to-day life. She has lots of energy and would love an active home with plenty of opportunities for walks and adventures. That said, she also has a softer side and really enjoys fuss and cuddles, making her a lovely all-round companion.With the right guidance and commitment, Hope has all the potential to grow into a wonderful family dog.

Please welcome Hugo to the FDR family, Hugo has come into us as a stray with no history so we have taken the time to get to know him and now it's time for him to find his forever family!Don’t let his 8 years fool you, Hugo hasn’t read the rulebook on acting your age, he has plenty of energy and a cheeky Frenchie personality!Hugo loves a bit of fun, especially when it comes to toys. He’ll happily chase them around the playpen, although the bringing them back part is apparently optional in Hugo’s world! His cheeky side comes out quite frequently, sometimes a slip lead turns into an exciting game of tuggy - oops.Out and about, Hugo is a star. He walks well on the lead and regularly goes out with volunteer walkers, who all enjoy his company. He also proved himself to be an absolute gentleman on a recent vet trip—travelling beautifully and behaving impeccably for the vet throughout his visit.Hugo is generally fine with other dogs, but he can be a bit over-the-top in his enthusiasm. He tends to come on strong and can be a little bossy, so for now, he’d likely be happiest as the only dog in the home where he can soak up all the attention.At the moment, Hugo is receiving treatment for an eye condition, believed to be the result of an old untreated ulcer that has caused some scarring. He’s currently on medicated drops, and once those are done he will be booked in to carry out a more thorough examination of his eye along with being castrated (Shh don't tell him the last part!).Hugo is a lovable, lively companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart. With the right home, he’ll make a fantastic, fun-loving addition to the family.

JOVI has flew through his assessments after coming into us as a stray and is now on the search for a new home!Jovi is around 3 years old and is a super friendly, people-loving boy who’s all about the fuss! If you’ve got hands, he expects them to be giving him attention—and if you dare to stop, he’ll let you know with a little cry to remind you he’s still there waiting for more cuddles In the playpen, Jovi isn’t too bothered about toys. He’d much rather spend his time chilling out, having a good sniff around, or soaking up all the affection he can get. He’s a laid-back lad at heart who just enjoys being around people.Jovi does need a bit of work on the lead, as he can be quite strong—especially when he first sets off on a walk. The good news is he’s already been introduced to a headcollar, which is helping, and with some continued training and consistency, he will to improve.We will be looking for an active home for him as although he is a cuddle monster he does have lots of energy so adventures and exploring will definitely be second on the list to fuss.He absolutely loves his treats and is very food motivated, which will be a great help for his ongoing training (and winning his heart!).Jovi has been good with the other dogs he’s met here, making him a lovely candidate for a home with a well-matched canine companion, or equally as your one-and-only.If Jovi is the boy for you then please email us for an application form - info@forest-dog-rescue.org.uk

MACS is looking for a new home due to family circumstances meaning he isn't get the time or attention he needs. On assessment the staff member said he was one of the easiest dogs she has assessed in a long time!Macs is a friendly and loving lad who has a typical collie brain. He loves to be doing something whether that is going on adventures or playing with toys. He is good with other dogs pretty much ignoring their existence but has never lived with another dog and his owners would prefer him to be the only dog in the home if possible.Macs can get a little anxious especially in built up areas due the traffic and hussle and bustle. He would much prefer a rural setting with fewer visitors - just a calm and peaceful environment with either an adult only home or older children. He is not cat tested.Macs had to have surgery when he was 7 months old and can stiffen up if he has too much exercise so although he would love go on all day hikes this wouldn't be advisable. Saying that he is still up for longish walks and limited ball playing - he has been seen by a vet on a continuous basis and they have no concerns.This gorgeous boy is still currently in his home as we have no space at the kennels so hopefully he can bag himself a new home before this happens.Please request an application form via emailinfo@forest-dog-rescue.org.uk

Meet our handsome boy Ross who has come into us from another charity with no history, he has completed all of his assessments so it's next stop, forever home! Ross will thrive in a very active home where he can enjoy plenty of walks and activities to keep his sharp collie mind busy. He walks nicely on the lead when using a figure of 8 headcollar and very much enjoys getting out and about to explore, so a home with plenty of walks and adventures will be a must.He does enjoy a game of ball in the playpen and will happily chase it… bringing it back, however, is still a work in progress! Ross can be cuddly and affectionate, but he’s also an independent boy who sometimes thinks there are more exciting things to do than sit still for too long. What he really needs is a home that understands collies and can give him a purpose or a job to do, where his intelligence and energy can really shine.Ross would prefer to be the only dog in the home. He’s not one for close-up socialising and is much happier doing his own thing rather than sharing his space with other dogs.With the right person, Ross has so much potential and will make a fantastic companion. He is learning new tricks and having a bask at agility to try to keep his mind occupied while waiting for his furever family to find himIf you think you could offer Ross the active, understanding home he deserves, please get in touch!

Say hello to 3 year old SCRIPT who is ready to find his paw-fect home after coming into us as a stray.Script is a happy, people-loving boy who thrives on attention and affection. He’s the kind of dog who will always greet you with a waggy tail, always up for adventures and always enjoy a cuddle —expect plenty of enthusiastic greetings and the occasional face lick!He’s a clever lad who already knows “sit” and is making great progress with his “wait.” Script really wants to please, and with a bit of continued training, he’s going to come on in leaps and bounds. He’ll benefit from some ongoing lead work and clear, consistent boundaries to help him channel his excitement in the right way.Script has met other dogs while in our care and has been absolutely fine with them—he can just be a bit overexcited and full-on at first. With the right introductions and guidance, he should continue to build good doggy manners.In the play pen, Script loves a bit of fun, chase a few toys and have a good sniff but will come back for a fuss, showing his sweet and affectionate nature. He does get a bit bouncy and likes to jump up when greeting people, so for this reason, we feel he’d be best suited to a home without young children, as he could accidentally knock them over in his excitement.Script is a bright boy with so much potential and a lovely temperament. With the right home to guide him, he’s going to make a fun, loyal, and loving companion If your interested in this handsome boy please email us for an application form - info@forest-dog-rescue.org.uk
