Aria is a striking, slight-built girl with long legs and beautiful Saluki traits. Her big brown eyes and affectionate nature make a lasting impression on everyone she meets. She’s friendly and enthusiastic, often greeting people and other dogs with excitement and charm.In many ways, Aria is still a puppy. She’s lively, playful and loves her food, so much so that she may help herself if anything tempting is left within reach on kitchen counters. She’s been doing really well with house training in foster and is getting into a good routine, especially heading outside after meals.Out on walks, Aria is alert and engaged with her surroundings, and her prey drive is quite evident. Because of this, she’ll need an understanding home preferable with previous sighthound experience, that can manage this safely and continue her training.While she comes across as confident, Aria does like to know where her people are and doesn’t enjoy being left out. She can show some attachment tendencies, so she would benefit from a home where someone is around for much of the time, at least initially, and is willing to help her build confidence being left gradually.With patience, consistency and plenty of love, Aria has all the makings of a wonderful, vibrant companion. She’s a sweet-natured girl with a lot of potential, just waiting for the right home to help her thrive.

Feliza is approximately 18 months old and is a stunning sighthound with the most incredible ears that really do deserve their own fan club! She was found abandoned in the Cypriot countryside with her seven puppies, who were just two weeks old. After being safely trapped, she devotedly raised her litter in the shelter before making the journey to the UK, where she arrived fully vaccinated and health tested.Her foster mum believes Feliza is predominantly Greyhound with perhaps a touch of Saluki, and says she has blossomed into a truly wonderful companion.Like many dogs who have never lived in a home, Feliza needed a few days to adjust to life indoors. She was initially unsure about walking on a lead and getting in and out of vehicles, but she has taken everything in her stride and has made fantastic progress. She is now a much-loved member of her foster family's pack, travelling happily both in a crate in the van and on the back seat of the car.Feliza is clean in the house, having had very few toileting accidents, and has lovely manners around other dogs in the home. She can be a little boisterous during group walks, which is simply youthful enthusiasm, but she remains respectful with the other dogs. She shows no signs of resource guarding and greets her foster family each morning with a wagging tail after happily sleeping downstairs on her own throughout the night.In the evenings, Feliza is wonderfully relaxed and loves nothing more than stretching out on the sofa, often upside down in true sighthound style. She is affectionate, carefree and easy-going, and has quickly become a firm favourite with everyone she meets.As you would expect from a dog who spent the early part of her life as a stray, there are still a few things she finds unfamiliar. Busy roads, traffic, pushchairs and joggers can make her a little uncertain, but she is growing in confidence every day. For this reason, we are looking for a home with at least one friendly resident dog who can continue to help guide and reassure her.Feliza may bark occasionally if she hears unfamiliar noises around the home or if some of the resident dogs leave the house, although she is never left completely on her own.She does have a high prey drive and will always investigate rustling in the bushes, so she will need a home that understands sighthounds and their instincts. She is not cat friendly.Despite everything she has been through, Feliza has remained a joyful, goofy and utterly adorable young dog. She has embraced the enormous changes in her life with remarkable resilience and is now ready for the next chapter.She was let down at the start of her life, lovingly raised a large litter of puppies, and now it is finally her time. Whoever is lucky enough to welcome Feliza into their family will gain a truly special companion.Please note: Due to the significant costs involved in bringing Feliza and her puppies safely to the UK, there is a minimum adoption donation of £725 for Feliza and her puppies.

Ralphy is a gorgeous, affectionate boy with a huge heart and a love for life’s simple pleasures. He is calm, cuddly and deeply people oriented, the kind of dog who wants to be wherever you are and will happily curl up beside you for a stroke or a snooze. He’s 8 years old and around 32kg, and a German Shepherd X Lurcher.In the home, Ralphy is a dream. He is relaxed, clean and well mannered, happy to follow you from room to room before settling on his bed when things are quiet. He has been brilliant while his foster carer works from home, calmly chilling all day until it’s time for a walk. He sleeps in his hallway bed overnight and greets you cheerfully in the morning.Ralphy is very affectionate and thrives on human contact. Sofa time is his favourite time, and if the strokes stop, you might get a gentle nudge to remind you. He has no food guarding issues, eats gently, takes treats nicely and is happy to share. He can be left for a few hours without barking or chewing and is fully toilet trained.Out and about, Ralphy has made fantastic progress. He initially pulled on the lead but is now walking nicely with consistent cues and praise. Loose lead walking is still a work in progress, especially if squirrels are involved, but he is eager to learn and improving all the time. He ignores bikes, runners and passing people, and responds well to “leave it” when spotting wildlife. He enjoys off lead runs in an enclosed field and is beginning to ignore birds too, suggesting his prey drive is often more excitement than intent.Ralphy travels well in the car and loves looking out of the window. He adores toys, especially anything squeaky, and will happily empty the toy box in search of his favourites. He loves playing with his foster Labrador and would really enjoy having a confident canine companion. Although he has lived as an only dog for many years, he would benefit from sharing his home with another friendly dog, ideally another lurcher to run and play with.He is generally good with other dogs when introductions are handled sensibly. He may bark at unfamiliar dogs at first but settles quickly when guided. He is fine with dogs he knows, including smaller dogs he has already met, though we would advise careful introductions with small dogs. Ralphy is not cat friendly and would need a cat free home.Ralphy can be a little anxious around some strangers, particularly if he feels crowded. He prefers people to let him approach in his own time. He has been affectionate and relaxed with many male and female visitors, but a calm, understanding home would suit him best. Because of his size and sensitivity, he would not be suitable for a home with children.His recall is improving and he responds well to his name indoors and in the garden, as well as to the promise of a squeaky tennis ball. Until this is fully reliable, he would benefit from a long line or secure spaces for off lead fun.Ralphy is frightened of fireworks and would need a home willing to support him during noisy events. Adaptil has already helped him cope better.Ralphy is a loving, loyal companion who just wants a peaceful home, gentle guidance and plenty of affection. In return, he will give you constant companionship, endless cuddles and a warm presence by your side.If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate dog who will quickly become your shadow and your best friend, Ralphy could be the one for you.

Ted is a sensitive, gentle lurcher with a huge heart and a deeply affectionate nature once he feels safe. He is a quiet soul who has clearly experienced a lot in his past, and while the world can feel overwhelming for him at times, there is not a single ounce of aggression in him. Those who earn his trust are rewarded with the softest cuddles, face nuzzles and a dog who truly adores his people.At home, Ted is very calm and incredibly lazy. He sleeps a lot, loves soft beds and sofas, and settles beautifully after a walk. He is fully clean in the house and can hold himself for long periods, especially in poor weather. Since starting Fluoxetine and with careful, gradual training, he can now be left for up to a couple of hours without distress, provided he has been walked first and is settled.Ted is affectionate in his own gentle way. He may appear aloof at first, but with his trusted people he will happily climb onto laps, press his head into your face for kisses and show just how loving he really is. He is extremely docile and tolerant, with no guarding issues in his current home and excellent manners around food and handling.Walks are Ted’s biggest challenge. He does want to go out and enjoys exploring, but he is highly anxious and easily overwhelmed by sounds, movement and other dogs. He may freeze when he hears voices, barking or unfamiliar noises, or become distressed if he sees dogs even at a distance. For this reason, he is always muzzled on walks and wears a red coat to signal that he needs space. Quiet, rural style walks with plenty of distance from triggers suit him best.Ted is not reactive in the home, but visitors can be difficult for him. With a clear routine, calm handling and the help of treats, he can settle reasonably quickly, though he remains wary and may vocalise if people move around unexpectedly. He does not seek attention from visitors and prefers to keep his distance. An adult only home with minimal visitors, or adopters confident in managing introductions, would suit him best.Ted would be happiest as an only dog. While he has tolerated brief, carefully managed greetings, other dogs significantly increase his anxiety outdoors and day to day life is easier for him without canine housemates.He travels in the car and will get in willingly, though he can be vocal and anxious, particularly if he sees people or dogs nearby. His prey drive is high, typical of a sighthound, and he will need secure handling and a very secure garden.Ted is food motivated and capable of learning, but training must be gentle, patient and entirely on his terms. Progress comes slowly, but it does come, and he has already made meaningful improvements with the right support.Ted is not a dog for everyone. He needs an experienced, understanding home that values quiet companionship over busy adventures. In return, he will offer unwavering loyalty, deep affection and the knowledge that you have changed the life of a truly gentle soul who just needs the world to slow down for him.If you are sighthound savvy, calm, patient and ready to offer Ted the safe, predictable home he deserves, he could be the most rewarding companion you will ever have.

Tiernan is a handsome four-year-old boy who recently arrived in our care from Ireland. Since settling into his foster home in East Sussex, he has quickly won everyone over with his gentle nature and affectionate personality. His foster family affectionately call him Monty, and it is easy to see why they have fallen so completely for him.From the moment Tiernan arrived, his tail has barely stopped wagging. He simply wants to be loved and is happiest when he is close to his people. He enjoys being part of the family and likes to know where everyone is, although he has been encouraged to build his independence and settles well in his crate when needed. He may give a little whine if someone leaves the room, but he quickly relaxes again.Tiernan has lovely manners and is an absolute pleasure to walk. He doesn't pull on the lead and has been easy to manage, even when something catches his eye that he would quite like to chase. He has also travelled beautifully in the car, is completely clean in the house and responds well to his name.He is incredibly affectionate and enjoys nothing more than morning cuddles, often abandoning his breakfast to race upstairs for a snuggle on the bed. He has greeted almost everyone he has met with confidence, although one gentleman did make him feel a little uneasy, suggesting he may have had an unpleasant experience in his past. With gentle reassurance, he continues to grow in confidence every day.Like many dogs, Tiernan has a healthy appetite and initially believed that every bit of food, and even drinks, belonged to him. He has responded brilliantly to clear boundaries and is learning quickly.His foster family think he would make the perfect companion for someone who works from home, as he settles quietly while they work and is content simply being close to his people.One of Tiernan's more unusual talents is his enthusiasm for catching flies. His foster family joke that he's like a Venus flytrap, although they have already had to rescue a bee from his mouth, so he'll certainly need to learn that not every buzzing insect is worth chasing!While Tiernan is always polite when meeting other dogs, he doesn't seem particularly interested in playing with them. He appears to be thoroughly enjoying having all the attention to himself, so we feel he would be happiest as the only dog in his forever home.Tiernan stands at approximately 24 inches to the shoulder and weighs around 20kg.
