Apollo

Wales
SexMale
Age9 years
BreedWhippet

These boys deserve a home as wonderful as their big hearts. They are an absolute joy to have around and would definitely suit a home where their humans are nearby. They can be left alone for short periods and are more than happy enjoying each other’s company with no issues at all. They are fully housetrained, although they do require a little encouragement to go out if it’s raining! They are early risers and absolutely LOVE their food — they will definitely let you know when it’s mealtime. Aside from that, they are happy, gentle boys who love nothing more than sofa snuggles. Their favourite thing is being on the bed with their humans and they will very happily take the offer of being under the covers if allowed. They are a delight to walk on the lead. Off lead they tend to stay nearby, although their recall does need a bit of work. The good news is that they are very food motivated, so with some dedicated training this shouldn’t take long at all. There has been some occasional counter surfing, so as with most sighthounds, food left on the edge of the counter is definitely a risk! Apollo is a little more timid, quiet and reserved — the sweetest boy. Axel is the more confident one and adores a fuss as much as humanly possible. They are polite with other dogs, although they can sometimes get a little excited when sniffing. With a bit of continued training this won’t be an issue, and could happily live with other canine companions, or having lots of walking buddies! They travel well and wait politely to get in and out of the car. They don’t currently play with toys; we’ve introduced them slowly, but they’re far more interested in cuddles and being close to their people than anything else. Enquire to Adopt Apollo Enquiry Form

Dawson is a delightful young lad, bursting with charm and happiness. He is a bright, cheerful boy who has settled beautifully into our kennel environment and truly thrives with a consistent structure and routine. A real foodie at heart, Dawson enthusiastically dives headfirst into any enrichment activity you offer him. Watching him use his brain and follow his nose is an absolute joy, and he tackles every challenge with eagerness and curiosity. Dawson has also spent time in a home environment, where he settled wonderfully after a short adjustment. He enjoys relaxing on the sofa and soaking up affection, we’ve even caught him drifting off to sleep on people’s laps, content and secure. He walks nicely on the lead and continues to grow in confidence around the outside world. Since arriving with us, Dawson has made fantastic progress and now enjoys peaceful countryside walks, taking everything in at his own pace. Playtime is another favourite for Dawson, especially when balls are involved. He bounds around with pure joy, his playful spirit shining through in every game. We’ve also seen how much comfort Dawson takes from his kennel companion, often curled up beside her in the evenings, showing that he could happily live alongside another sighthound friend. Dawson is looking for kind, patient owners who can guide and support him as he continues to grow in confidence. With a loving routine and a little reassurance, we truly believe he will settle beautifully into his forever home and become a deeply rewarding companion. Enquire to Adopt Dawson Enquiry Form

Meet Deacon, a loveable boy who is looking for his forever home. Deacon is a bright, happy chappy. He is confident and happy when greeting familiar and non familiar people. Deacon is food motivated and engages well with enrichment activities like snuffle mats, busily sniffing out the tasty treats he can find. Providing him with these kinds of activities regularly is a great way to boost his confidence and develop a trusting relationship with him. While still fairly new to us, Deacon has spent some time in our home environment, he showed us that he can settle well and was clean while in the house, he can also climb stairs. Deacon can sometimes be strong on the lead, we currently walk him with a double ended lead to help manage this. He does walk well when there are little distractions, however he'd much prefer quieter walking areas to mooch about in. He has embraced his off-lead time in our secure field, volunteers have described him as a "gentle giant" when playing, often softly playing with toys and then wanting to be with you.
