Arnold has spent time away from the kennels and this is what his fosterer has to say about him:Arnold is a young handsome big lad who loves nothing more than snuggling up to his humans. He sometimes forgets his size and sees himself as a lapdog trying to sit on your knee. Arnold is a big boisterous vocal boy who loves to play with his toys. He sometimes forgets his manners when he meets new people and will jump up. He definitely needs to be the only pet in the home.Arnold is very loyal to his humans. He is house trained and can be left for up to 4-5 hours home alone. During that time he snoozes and chills out. Arnold loves a car ride and travels well. Arnold enjoys his walks – he shows reactivity on the lead and requires continued training help with this.Arnold is a lovable character who would best suit an adult only pet free home.

Benny is new to Homeless Hounds and is under assessment. You can still apply for Benny but be aware at this stage we don’t know what type of home he will require.Benny is a young Frenchie who came in to us from the pound as an unclaimed stray.Benny is a lovely boy and enjoys nothing better than to sit with his human and have lots of cuddles. He has some very endearing ways and is very sweet natured and very laid back if he has company. He does suffer from some separation anxiety and needs a patient owner who is around for most of the day who will help him overcome his anxiety about being left on his own.Benny likes sleeping with and resting his head his human before going to sleep. At present he finds it difficult to settle and sleep on his own. Benny loves his walks and gets very excited. However, he does know basic commands and will stop and wait at the curb side if asked to do so. He is vocal when he sees other dogs but his response to seeing other dogs seems to stem from excitement as opposed to aggression but we will be further testing this. For the time being we would be rehoming Benny as an only dog.Benny loves ball games and is happy to have a good play in the garden – although he isn’t great at retrieving and returning the ball as yet. Benny may need a little help with his toilet training until he settles in.

Betty is a terrier of around 3 years in age.She came to us as an unclaimed stray from the local pound.Betty is a gentle girl but a typical terrier – so strictly no cats please!She is a very good dog in the home, being house trained and loves nothing more than sitting in the garden and watching her human garden.Betty is non reactive to dogs when out on her walks but sometimes she seems a bit anxious so at present we are saying it’s best if she’s the only dog in the home. She walks fairly well on the lead and only pulls when she wants to sniff something interestingBetty is a delight to have around.

Buddy is new to Homeless Hounds and is under assessment. You can still apply for this handsome boy but be aware at this stage we don’t know what type of home he will require.Buddy is 3-4 years old and is already a firm favourite in kennels. He is a gentle boy who just loves humans and has been lucky enough to enjoy lots of days out with our lovely kennel volunteers.When Buddy came in to us, he was reported as being quite anxious and wary around strangers particularly men but as he has settled with us, he has proved to be very friendly with people he meets. Buddy is also non reactive to other dogs whilst on his walks and has been walking alongside another volunteer’s dog without any issue.When Buddy came into us, he had been getting into fights with another resident dog but we feel that with careful introductions and integration he could live with a calm neutered female dog.Buddy is apparently scared of the dark so a night light will be essential to keep those demons at bay!

We have had the pleasure of rehoming Butch for just over a year.Unfortunately due to our circumstances changing we have had to make the hardest decision to try and find Butch a home that will be better suited to him.Butch is a gorgeous Kangal Shepherd. He is well behaved around the house, toilet trained, clicker trained in the house (as long as there is cheese waiting for him), he loves playing tug and will happily sit and chill in the back garden for hours. He is also eager to learn and play and picks things up very quickly.He is a special boy but can be quite reactive and picky with certain dogs.We have noticed that it is mostly small dogs Butch does not like, although again, Butch will decide himself. He also does not like being barked at and this will trigger him to become quite agitated.Butch will lunge if he does not like a dog and they get too close and as you can imagine, he is quite a handful when this happens. For this reason Butch will need a strong capable owner to ensure everybody is kept safe. Butch is only walked in quiet areas to avoid dogs, but if we find ourselves crossing paths with one we always try and ensure a safe distance is kept to avoid Butch becoming stressed.We have found using secure dog fields for Butch occasionally is a good way for him to be let off the lead and let off some steam.Butch travels well in the car, but if a dog walks past he does become quite rowdy, similarly if a dog walks passed the window at home or if he hears another dog barking whilst in the garden. This is something a potential new home would need to be aware of due to how loud his bark actually is!Butch will need to be the only dog in the house, he is also ok to be left alone as long as he has access to his bed and is let out mid day.Butch is one of a kind. We love him dearly and he will always hold a place in our hearts.

Go with the Flo!Florence is currently in foster care. She has settled in quickly and is a soft gentle girl. She is fully house trained and can be left home alone for a couple hours with no issues. Flo enjoys playing with her toys. Flo is happy to meet visitors and definitely encourages them to stroke/cuddle her. She’s a lovely gentle girl looking for her forever home.Florence is a beautiful, affectionate girl who will do anything for a treat. If she sniffs out treats in your pocket, she will nudge your pocket and give you the big puppy dog eyes until you give in. Although we think she is partially deaf, she is well trained and knows lots of commands, such as sit, paw and wait. She loves to be kissed and cuddled and craves human contact. If you want a dog to snuggle with on the sofa in the evenings, Flo’s your girl.Florence sometimes barks whilst out walking to let everyone know she’s around. We think this is just excitement and feel this will subside as she gains confidence and stability in a routine. Florence can be quite strong on the lead and pull a bit initially, but once she calms, she walks nicely.Unfortunately Flo is not dog friendly and will have to be the only dog in the home.

Mars is looking for a new home due to a change in his owner’s circumstances.Mars can be an anxious boy at times and we feel that he will be best suited to a confident adult only family, so that he can relax and gain his confidence.Out on walks, Mars is friendly with other dogs and enjoys a chase around with his regular buddies. His recall isn’t great if he spots another dog to play with but he can go off the lead in appropriate areas and with consistent reward based training and practice, his recall is bound to improve.He does pull on the lead initially and then settles down once he’s in his stride, enjoying all the sniffs and peemails. Whilst Mars may want to interact with other dogs on walks, but he isn’t interested in going over to other humans, and he doesn’t chase wildlife or runners or bicycles. Loud noises, such as bangs, busy playgrounds, cafes etc can make Mars anxious and then he just wants to go home. Taking Mars to quiet places until he builds trust in you and confidence in himself, will do him wonders. In the car, Mars sits in the footwell and is a nervous traveller – he hasn’t had much travel training, so this is something that you could work on with him.Mars could possibly share his new home with a confident dog, with careful introductions, personal space and a solid routine.At home, Mars loves to play with his ball. He’s gentle mouthed and drops it when asked. All the other toys Mars has been given, have gone to toy heaven in no time, courtesy of his shredding abilities! Otherwise, Mars is non-destructive, he’s never chewed anything that doesn’t belong to him. Mars has always been allowed to sit on the furniture and he has been used to sleeping on his owner’s bed. Please consider this if you would prefer a dog that doesn’t jump onto furniture. Mars is also crate trained and he’ll go into his crate to eat a chew bone etc.In is previous home, Mars was protective of his owner and liked to bark at all the people passing by the window.Once Mars has settled into your home and routine, he can be left home alone for a few hours and uses that opportunity for a good snooze. Like many dogs, Mars is not a fan of the hoover and will run into another room to put some distance between him and the scary machine.Mars knows some of the basic training skills, like ‘sit’, ‘wait’, ‘stop’, and his recall ‘Mars here’. He enjoys a tasty training treat, which will make future training easier, and he takes his treats really gently.

Maverick is a 2 and a half year old German Shepherd cross who is looking for a new home due to the owner’s changed circumstances. He’s a handsome good natured lad who is currently living outdoors in a kennel so his toilet training will need a bit of fine tuning. Maverick is a live wire and can be giddy and excitable. But he has bags of potential and for a breed experienced owner willing to invest time in his training, he will make a a fantastic and loyal companion.Whilst Maverick has lived with two other smaller dogs, he is fairly giddy and excitable and outside the home is reactive when he sees other dogs coming his way. Whilst Maverick is a friendly chap his exuberance means that he will jump up and for that reason he needs a home where any children are older teenagers. He could easily knock little ones over in his excitement. He can be strong on the lead initially but after a while settles down and walks well. However a physically strong new owner is an absolute must as he will pull strongly when he sees other dogs.

Maya is an 8 year old super friendly French Bull Dog. She has been lucky enough to bag herself a wonderful foster home and has settled in well. Maya is the prefect mix of being energetic enough to enjoy a decent walk but loves nothing more than a snuggle on the sofa with her favourite person at the end of the day. She waits to be invited on to the sofa and likes to have a blanket on her seat to snuggle into. Maya loves her food and her favourite treats are hot dogs and cheese.Maya sleeps in her crate with the door open in her foster home but is equally happy to sleep in a bed when on her holidays! Maya is non destructive and doesn’t really play with toys but she does keep her chew at a safe place at the top of the stairs, just in case she needs it later! She sleeps in the kitchen diner and sleeps through the night but as soon as she hears movement in the morning, she is desperate to see who is up and say hello. Maya loves all humans and everyone who comes to the house is her friend. She is good with children. Her favourite hobbies are doing zoomies in the garden. She can be a little excitable in the car but soon calms down as the journey gets going. She is a little too interested in cats to be considered cat friendly and also takes a keen interest in our guinea pigs. We think she’s best rehomed where there are no small furries.Maya can be left for 4-5 hours at a time but no longer and is non destructive. Whilst Maya has lived with other dogs in the past, she is best as the only dog in the home. She is reactive to other dogs when on her walks and is very vocal when she sees other dogs. We think that she would benefit from some training to help her in this respect. However as soon as she passes the dog she resumes walking well on her lead and likes to trot in front. Maya hates the rain so is a fair weather walker only! Maya is a lovely little dog and will be a fabulous pet for someone with the time to do some training with her to help her with her reactivity to other dogs.
