Arwen could live with children aged 10+ and will need to be the only animal in the home.Arwen is a lovely little lady who absolutely adores spending time with her humans and simply loves attention! She is full of beans and so will need an active family who can keep up with her and take her on lots of lovely adventures, keeping her both mentally and physically stimulated.Arwen has had a poor start to life, we have very little background information about her, but we do know that was previously left in a garden most of the time. Arwen has shown some signs that she may struggle when left alone and so she will need a family who are prepared for this and are able to slowly build up the amount of time she is left for.Arwen does also typically prefer to have space from other dogs and can, at times, be a little reactive. She will need a family who are confident and capable of managing this behaviour, whilst working on her training to help her learn some more appropriate responses.This sweet lady is such a pleasure to spend time with. She is so fun to be around and often has us laughing with her daft ways and her little tappy tappy toe dance as she sees you coming. She loves nothing more than human company – she is such a friendly girl – nobody is a stranger to Arwen! She would spend all day being made a fuss of and needs a family who are able to spend a lot of time with her.Despite the life Arwen has previously had, she still has so much love to give and more than deserves to finally be shown what the safety and security of a true forever home feels like, where she can be spoilt rotten and shown the love she should’ve always known from her forever family.

Sadly, other than that – we have very limited background information about their lives prior to their arrival here at the shelter.Ruddy (right) is the more confident of the pair, Sahara (left) can be a little more worried and gains a lot of confidence from being with Ruddy – she definitely feels more insecure when he isn’t by her side.They are a daft and energetic duo. They both love playing with a variety of toys – Ruddy would play fetch all day long! They would be best suited to an active family who can keep up with them! They would love a family who are able to take them on lots of lovely adventures and provide them with plenty of mental and physical enrichment.Ruddy & Sahara can both pull on the lead and so they will need a family who are physically capable of managing them whilst they work on their on-lead walking.

Stefan could live with children aged 10+. He could potentially live with other dogs, but no cats or small animals.Stefan is a big, handsome lad who quickly makes friends with everyone he meets! He is a friendly and confident chap, but fairly independent and isn’t really interested in seeking too much attention from his humans.Stefan loves getting out and about exploring on his walks – he has particularly enjoyed bounding through the long grass in our big field! He has also enjoyed playing with toys and will engage with a variety of them – such as balls and soft toys. His favourite thing of all, though, is definitely his treats! Stefan is a super food-oriented boy and will even sometimes chatter and vibrate with excitement when he anticipates food. This is something his new family will need to consider, as we imagine management will need to be put in place around mealtimes / food in the home.Sadly, Stefan arrived into our care as a stay with no microchip, so we have no background information on his previous life prior to his arrival here at the shelter. He has been a pleasure to get to know and spend time with during his stay with us and we have no doubt he will make a wonderful addition to his forever home.
