Please meet Alfie who is already a hit with all the volunteers.Our Alf is fully vaccinated and chipped, now just needs neutering as soon as we can get him into a foster place.This boy is so polite, he is very calm in the kennel environment and also while out walking, although he can be very strong on the lead when walking alongside the other dogs.He has met quite a few people since he arrived from the stray pound and he has been ok with everyone.Alfie enjoys his walks and doesn’t really interact with the other dogs, no aggression he just prefers human company and will need to be the only dog in the home.He did have a short spell in a home. He did attach himself to one person more than the other and then tried to dominate the weaker person which caused problems and Alfie was returned to kennels. He will need stronger leadership next time and a couple who will work together in putting rules and guidelines in place so everyone knows exactly where they stand.It really isn’t hard to follow.Alfie is a very good boy when taking treats, he kindly offers his paw and takes the treat so gently.We have seen no issues around food other than the fact he is a very picky feeder and has lost some weight because of this. We have to watch his food intake and his tastes seem to change on a weekly basis. Currently he has a liking for Winalot pouches and will eat these happily so we give him a good supply. He also enjoys a hoof stuffed with raw and the odd pigs ear. He has recently shown some interest in toys which was great to watch, he did take a shine to one of the Kong balls with the handle another ball inside, he thought he had found some treasure.A no to cats and no history around children so teenagers only.If you are fully vetted by us and ready to roll speak to your area coordinator and pop along and visit me.

“I have a GSD x Mali came in as welfare, skinny and suddenly gained a lot of weight and was pregnant! She had 6 puppies and sadly 5 didn’t make it as were born with cleft palate. Only one survived and is doing well but the mum had been quite stressed and has suffered as she started to chase her tail and biting/chewing it to the point her tail needs to be amputated. Angel is friendly with people and quite a sweet girl, is dog reactive.”How could we say no to this poor girl. Angel is microchipped and spayed. No young children as we do not know her full history. Would probably need to be the only dog although has been ok around placid males. Unknown with cats.Angel will need a home experienced with the breed to give her the life she deserves please.

“PTS RISK. Another victim of FreeAds. Advertised as 10 months old – ‘APOLLO’ was purchased for a multi dog household, appears to be human friendly but cannot cope with other dogs. Rescue space needed ASAP. He is currently in a friend’s private garden kennel in Essex and at risk of PTS”Apollo was born 4.5.25. He is microchipped and vaccinated. No problems with people other than needing usual boundaries and training a dog of his age requires. Initial assessment with other dogs is that he just needs to learn to socialise politely as appears to be a bull in a china shop which will of course upset other dogs.Apollo would suit most GSD experienced homes that can give him the socialisation skills with other dogs and further his training and boundaries.

We were asked by a pound to take in this young lad whose time was up. Arti is a GSD cross Mali we believe. He is now microchipped we believe he is between 1 & 2 years old. Still entire and vaccinations to be restarted.Arti is a little nervous of new people but no malice in him. He loves toys and seems to be a typical energetic, young lad! No young children as we do not know his history. No reaction to other dogs at the kennels so far but further assessment here will be done.Arti will need an experienced home that can continue teaching him that people and the world are not as scary as he currently thinks.

“Axel, now what can I say about this gorgeous boy who is one massive overgrown pup who doesn’t realize his size most of the time. Axel does have nervous aggression meeting people due to his rubbish start in life but he is better meeting people off lead in the paddock, and it really doesn’t take him that long to get to know people. Axel loves the female dogs so a confident female or male dog in a home would be brilliant for this lad. This lad loves a game of football and just loves loves a cuddle and to play in a puddle.”Please meet Axel who was born 6.5.21 according to his microchip. He is vaccinated and now also neutered. We believe he is a Malinois cross GSD. We were asked to take Axel in from other kennels where he had been taken in by the police and this is what we were told:“I’ve received this message from my boss asking if you can help. This is a new dog that came in on Friday. Very nervous aggressive but actually quite sweet when he knows you but will definitely bark and in the wrong hands bite. But before he gets put down I just wanted to see if Lizzy would give him a chance but only if it’s not a problem for her. I feel a bit sorry for him only 6 months old and been in 3 or 4 homes already and deserves a chance. “How could we say no! Axel is quite full on, but he is settling in fine and really happy with the people he has met so far. Great toy drive and typically full on for his breed and age, but in the right hands, Axel will make a super dog.A no to children because of his history. He has been fine with other large breed dogs but unknown with smaller dogs.Axel just needs an experienced home that can give him the exercise, training and mental stimulation a dog of his breed needs, and in return you will get a super loyal dog.

This lad is Bailey who is a GSD cross Kelpie. He was born in 2018 and is entire however, his current owners have restarted his vaccination and he is microchipped. Bailey has only been in his current home since just before Christmas. They saw him advertised on a selling site for £80 and enquired. They then got a call saying just come and get him so worried about what would happen to him, did just that. The lead was handed over and that was it!Sadly they cannot keep Bailey long term as they have a toddler who just wants to cuddle him which he is not interested in as doe growl at her, so older children only. He needs some lead training as he does pull but does have basic commands and recall. Does bark at other dogs but been no incidents. Unknown with cats.Our volunteer describes Bailey as a lovely boy and the family would love to keep him but are being careful because of their daughter. He would love a home he can just call his own please!

“They are in kennels atm and police have had a verbal disclaimer.They are 2 females one is nearly 1 and the other is nearly 2. Could be mother and daughter or siblings. Police have no other info.Very sweet girls. On a 7 dayer atm.”So Bambi and Bonnie came from the Police DLO in Cornwall.Both girls have super friendly temperaments and get along together so well. However we are walking them separately as well as together so Bonnie learns to be confident away from her mum.No young children as we do not know their history but these girls would fit happily in a breed experienced home with little fuss.

This is Bear’s original write up:“Pearl was picked up as a stray in December and was heavily pregnant. No microchip and nobody to claim her, so we were asked if we could help. Pearl is quite nervous when meeting new people and we suspect she has had a good hiding at some stage, but once she realises you mean her no harm, she is a sweetheart. She likes her space from other dogs but no issues with them at all. Has totally ignored the horses in the field next door as well. On the 22nd December Pearl gave birth to 11 puppies, 4 boys and 7 girls. Sadly one little girl was not breathing and despite getting her started and suckling, she passed over Rainbow Bridge just over 24 hours later.Pearl is a GSD but not knowing what dad was we did a DNA sample on one of the girls which came back as: 56% GSD, 29% Belgian Mali, 7% Border Collie, and 6% Greyhound.The pups are all confident and tear around the place causing bedlam as you would expect. They do all like a snuggle though as well. The pups will need homes that have some experience of the main breed at least as they will need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation as they get older. “Bear came back at 11 months old quite simply the person who adopted him failed to give him the training, socialisation and boundaries he needed, so whereas all the other pups are super with people and other dogs, Bear still mouths, still jumps up, reacts to anything that moves when out on lead….To say he has been let down is an understatement. Did his adopter take him regularly to training like she said she would? No! Did she contact anyone to say she was having issues? No! The first we know about it is when he is snapping at the children when they take things off him and suddenly he has to go immediately otherwise she has booked an appointment at the vets to murder him because a volunteer said it may take a couple of weeks to find him somewhere.We don’t always get the homes right and most certainly did not in this case, but Bear is now safely back where he was born and settled straight back in. He will learn some of the manners he missed out on from the older dogs but there is no malice in this gorgeous lad, purely he is behaving as a young male pup would not having been given the proper direction.Bear definitely deserves a special home now please!

We were asked to take Ben in with another dog called Bill after the police seized for their sake. He is microchipped and fully vaccinated and now neutered.“Lovely affectionate boy loves playing ball and knows basic commands.”Since arriving with us Ben has been quite chilled with life and has loved everyone he has met. Been fine around the other dogs at the kennels but does not seem to like small dogs. Older children only as we do not know his full history. Can be protective when walking with women.He tries to act big and brave but is not completely confident bless him.Ben will need a home experienced with the breed that can give him the exercise and mental stimulation a dog of his age needs. A fun lad to have in your family!

This was the first we knew about Bentley at 1 year of age:“Bentley has made a massive impression on kennel staff since he has been with us. He acts like a huge, tough, scary Malinois- however he has proven not to be. Throughout his stay he has proven to be a very anxious dog who is unsure or strangers and new environments. But through time and lots of treats he has gained trust in kennel staff. He is very reliant on the handler and will keep looking to ensure the person is still there. He does need a firm hand to ensure he doesn’t drag you around and try to be cheeky. He has proven to be what we call ‘the biggest wet wipe’ in the kennels- acting very tough until told a form ‘NO’ and he melts away- he really does not like being in trouble. He is a sweetheart really and is struggling in kennels- he is extremely stressed and will bark all day- to either get attention or to tell off his noisy neighbours next door. He is still a reactive boy but we can tell he doesn’t mean it as he clearly hasn’t seen much of the world and is very unsure of what is going on around him. It has taken time and patience, but Bentley has proven that he is handleable and is willing to learn as long as he trusts you and knows he is safe.”Bentley turned out to be a super lad, and pretty much as described. He is microchipped, fully vaccinated and not neutered. Bentley could go into a home with older children. He can be selective with dogs but a no to cats.With a home experienced with the breed he will be a super lad.Bentley was adopted last year but sadly needs a new home due to a relationship split meaning his mum is having to move and cannot take her dogs.Bentley was living another dog with no problem(female) and is fine with others unless they are in his face! If they approach politely he is fine and will play. Hee is now not nearly so nervous of new situations or people, and will walk through a busy town centre without issues.Good on lead with recall and selection of commands. Bentley needs a home that can continue giving him the confidence and calm he needs please. We really do not want him to have to come back into kennels as he gets so stressed!

WE ARE ADVERTISING BIGGIE FOR ANOTHER RESCUE.“A bundle of fur is the best way to describe Biggy. Full of fuss and love, he is a big teddy bear! He enjoys chasing his toys and generally enjoying life to the max! very food motivated, Biggie loves his interactive toys. Being a large sized dog, Biggie is strong on lead and not comfortable around other dogs. He will need a sturdy walker and enjoy walks where he can have a longer lead. His prey drive is very high, and he would be great at scent work or anything where he can use his brain and involves food!”
