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.

He’s still working on his house training, but he’s making steady progress and just needs consistency to get there fully.Bamboo has started learning the basics and he's a bright boy who will do anything when food is involved. He’s a clever boy who will benefit from continued positive training to build his confidence and skills.Bamboo would be best suited to a home with any children 14 years and above and where he isn’t left alone for long, as he can become anxious when left for long periods.With patience, structure, and lots of love, he will blossom into a wonderful companion.

Out on walks, Bisto is a pleasure to handle. He walks nicely on the lead and has met a variety of dogs and has shown himself to be sociable and easygoing.Like many sighthounds, he does have a natural instinct to chase, squirrels are particularly tempting, so ongoing training and awareness in these moments will be important.Bisto is house trained and his fosters have already started some basic training with him, but he’s still young and would benefit from continued positive training to help him reach his full potential.Anytime left alone will need to be built up gradually so new owners will need to be around for most of the day. He travels well in the car and takes new experiences in stride.Bisto could live with children 14 years and above and would prefer a quiet set up. He loves his home comforts and to snuggle up on the sofa.

BreedStaffordshire Bull Terrier x French Bulldog

She is currently thriving in a caring foster home, where she’s been enjoying all the comforts of home life. Daisy can be a little shy when meeting new people at first, but once she gets to know you, she becomes incredibly affectionate and loyal. Her confidence is growing every day, she’s started to show her playful side, loves her toys, and enjoys zooming around the garden.Daisy would do best as the only dog in the home, where she can continue to build her confidence around other dogs at her own pace while out on walks. She is house trained whilst in foster and is comfortable being left alone for short periods. Although she has experienced some travel sickness in the past, she is improving steadily and becoming more settled in the car. She could live with sensible children aged 14 and over who understand how to give her space when needed. A quieter home environment would suit her best, helping her continue to blossom.Daisy does have some ongoing medical needs, which we would be happy to discuss in more detail with any potential adopters.Daisy is a truly sweet and gentle soul, and whoever gives her a home will be gaining a very special companion.

BreedPomeranian

Both Finn and Echo are incredibly sweet natured and thrive on human affection. Their favourite place to be is curled up on a cosy lap, soaking up all the fuss and attention they can get. They have a calm, gentle presence about them and would suit a quieter home where they can truly relax and enjoy being cherished members of the family.They could live with older children who understand where they may want some quiet time. They’re well mannered in the home, fully house trained, and can be left alone for a few hours without concern.Out and about, Finn and Echo enjoy gentle strolls at their own pace, followed by a well earned snooze in a warm, comfy spot. They would benefit from some ongoing confidence building around other dogs when on walks, but with patience and reassurance, they will continue to grow in confidence.They will need to be the only dogs in the home where they can lap up all the attention for themselves. As you’d expect with their beautiful fluffy coats, they will need regular grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best.

BreedCollie

When Gazelle first arrived with us, she was a little under-confident. With patience, treats, and toys, she has really settled into herself and has shown she will make a wonderful companion in a family home. She has spent time with our dedicated foster carer and has proven herself to be house trained and a delightful house guest.Gazelle can still feel a little worried in some circumstances, so she would suit a home where any children are aged 10 and over. She loves her walks and would thrive with an active family who can keep her sharp mind engaged with new adventures and ongoing training.Gazelle recently had surgery on her leg and is recovering well. New adopters should be mindful that walks will need to be gradually built up in quiet locations as she continues to regain strength.We have introduced her to other dogs and found that if the other dog gives her space initially, she gains confidence and can happily walk alongside them. However, she can become worried around bouncy or vocal dogs, so she is currently looking for a pet-free home where she can continue to build her social skills safely.If you’re looking for a small, intelligent, and affectionate dog with a big personality, Gazelle could be the perfect companion for you!

Gordon

Wales
SexMale
Age2 years
BreedCane Corso

He originally came into us from the pound and has found kennel life a little worrying. We have found he can be easily spooked by loud noises and unfamiliar situations but with his handlers nearby to give him encouragement his affectionate and goofy personality begins to shine through.We have found food is definitely the way to his heart, and this is a great tool for his ongoing training needs. He’s currently learning to walk nicely on a head collar as he can be very strong on lead. We have introduced Gordon to other dogs and found he gets on well with them, he can find it hard to manage his excitement but could live with a well matched dog in his new home.As he’s likely never lived in a home before, Gordon isn’t yet house trained and will need patient, consistent routines to help him learn. He’s looking for an adult-only home with owners who are around during the day and have experience with large, sensitive breeds.A quiet, predictable environment will help him settle and flourish at his own pace. He will need a child free home and cannot live with cats. Gordon will make a super addition to a family who can give him the time and support he needs to build on his confidence.

Hollander

Wales
SexMale
Age9 months
BreedSiberian Husky

Hollander has shown himself to be a very sociable boy both with people and other dogs. Hollander has always lived in a multi dog household and takes his lead from a confident canine role model, we are therefore looking for Hollander to be rehomed with another playful canine companion. Hollander has previously lived with cats so could potentially do so again with gradual introductions.Hollander is a sponge for knowledge and loves to learn new things, he has had a sheltered life prior to coming into our care so the basics such as walking on a lead were all new to him, however, he has picked this up in no time! An owner who has a keen interest in training would be ideal for Hollander to keep him active mind busy.Hollander’s previous owner reported he was housetrained, however as we would expect with all dogs transitioning to a new environment he would benefit from going back to the beginning. Hollander is likely to need the time he is left home alone gradually built up.If you are looking for a bright and active companion then Hollander may be the one for you, please enquire below.

Age3 years
BreedGerman Shepherd

When Kevin first arrived, he was in a truly heartbreaking condition. Severely underweight at just 20kg, his fragile body was struggling, and he was covered in painful, infected wounds. Since then, Kevin has made an amazing transformation – now a much healthier 40kg and blossoming more with each passing day.Kevin’s past has understandably left its mark, and he does have some ongoing medical needs. He has a heart murmur and requires a sensitive diet to support his gut health. He can also experience occasional ear flare-ups, so he’ll need dedicated adopters who are happy to stay on top of his care and help him feel his very best.Despite everything he’s been through, Kevin’s personality shines through beautifully. He is a sweet and playful boy who has formed such special bonds with our team. He absolutely adores his toys and would happily play all day if given the chance – his puppy-like spirit is an absolute joy to see.Kevin can find the world a little overwhelming at times, and we believe he may have lived quite a sheltered life before coming to us. Because of this, he’s looking for a calm, adult-only home in a quiet location, where he can continue to build his confidence at his own pace. He has already made lovely progress and really enjoys exploring our woodlands, often heading off on little adventures, taking in all the sights and sounds around him. He travels well and would love a family who enjoy peaceful, rural walks.When it comes to other dogs, Kevin can find greetings tricky, but he is making positive steps with his social skills. He is comfortable wearing a muzzle on walks and would benefit from quieter walking areas with fewer dogs, helping him feel safe and relaxed.Kevin may need a little support settling into home life, including house training, but with patience and understanding, he will continue to flourish.This very special boy has come so far and deserves a home that will truly see just how incredible he is. With the right family by his side, Kevin will reward you with endless love, loyal companionship, and plenty of playful moments. We can’t wait to see him begin this next chapter – he deserves nothing less.
