About Hope Rescue

Hope Rescue is a leading dog welfare charity based in Rhondda Cynon Taf, dedicated to saving the lives of stray, abandoned, and unwanted dogs across South Wales. Founded in 2005, the charity works in close partnership with six local authorities, committing to take in all stray dogs regardless of age, breed, or medical condition. Hope Rescue focuses on supporting the most vulnerable dogs, including those seized from low-welfare or illegal breeding situations, providing assessment, care, and rehabilitation before rehoming. Alongside rescue and rehoming, the charity also supports owners in crisis and actively campaigns for stronger animal welfare standards and responsible dog ownership.

Ash And Brock

SexMale
Age5 years
BreedCollie

Ash is the confident explorer of the duo. He loves nothing more than heading out for a woodland stroll where he can sniff every interesting scent along the way. He enjoys curling up beside his favourite people after a day of adventures and is always ready to make you smile with his playful personality. Ash can occasionally become overwhelmed in busy situations, so he will thrive in a calm home with a predictable routine.Brock is the gentler, more sensitive half of the pair. The world can feel a little daunting to him at times, and new experiences often require patience, reassurance and encouragement. Since arriving with us his confidence has blossomed, and one of the biggest reasons for that has been having Ash by his side. Brock adores carrying his toys around, enjoys quiet sniffy walks, and once he trusts you, he becomes incredibly affectionate, leaning in for cuddles and happily soaking up all the fuss he can get.Ash and Brock would love a quieter home in a more peaceful area where they can enjoy relaxed walks without the hustle and bustle of busy environments. They are looking for adopters who understand that Brock may need a little extra time to adjust to his new surroundings and that both boys will benefit from patience, consistency and positive, reward-based training as they continue to build their confidence.They could live with sensible children aged 10 years and over who understand when dogs need space, but they are looking to be the only pets in the home so they can enjoy all of your love and attention together.If you have a calm home, plenty of patience and room in your heart for two wonderful best friends, Ash and Brock are ready to begin their next chapter with you.

Birdie

Wales
SexFemale
Age3 years
BreedLurcher

While Birdie has lots of love to give, she can find new people and unfamiliar situations worrying. She takes time to form trusting relationships and would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home with patient adopters who understand that friendship with Birdie is something that is earned rather than rushed. Due to her sensitive nature, she is unlikely to enjoy a busy household with frequent visitors and would be happiest in a predictable environment where she can feel safe and secure.Birdie's future adopters will need to be committed to visiting her at the centre several times before adoption. Taking the time to build a relationship with her before she heads home will help set her up for success and allow her to transition more comfortably into her new life.One thing that really helps Birdie feel brave is the company of other dogs. She enjoys spending time with her canine friends and would benefit from living with a well-matched, playful dog who can help show her the ropes and provide reassurance when she's feeling unsure.She can also find close handling challenging, particularly veterinary visits, which she finds especially stressful. As a result, Birdie will need to wear a muzzle during vet appointments to help keep everyone safe. Her new family should be prepared to continue positive, reward-based training to help build her confidence with wearing her muzzle, handling and support her as she learns that the world isn't quite so scary.Once Birdie feels comfortable, her playful side begins to shine. She absolutely adores her toys and can often be found tossing them high into the air, pouncing on them, and enjoying joyful zoomies around the garden. Food enrichment is another favourite pastime, and after a good play session and a tasty puzzle toy, Birdie is more than happy to find a sunny spot where she can curl up for a well-earned snooze.Birdie is looking for adopters who can see past her worries and appreciate the wonderful dog underneath. With patience, understanding, and plenty of time, Birdie will reward her family with the privilege of watching her confidence grow and her personality blossom.
