He came into our care alongside Rocky, another Chihuahua he previously lived with, after a change in their owner’s circumstances meant their needs could no longer be met. The pair went straight into foster care together, where they initially settled well. However, as they became more comfortable in their new surroundings, it became clear that their personalities were actually very different. This led to an increasing number of little disagreements between them, so we made the decision to trial them separately. Since then, both dogs have absolutely thrived apart, and for this reason we are now seeking separate homes for Buddy and Rocky. Since coming into our care, Buddy has received dental treatment and is fully up to date with his vaccinations, flea, and worming treatments. Buddy is a wonderfully affectionate little dog who absolutely adores his people. He loves nothing more than curling up on a warm lap for a cuddle and soaking up all the attention he can get. He also enjoys playing with his soft toys and is very food motivated, which makes him easy to engage with and reward. Buddy has previously lived with young children and we feel he could happily live with calm, dog-savvy children aged 8 years and above. Despite his tiny size, Buddy enjoys getting out and about on his walks and walks very nicely on his harness and lead. He benefits from shorter walks in quieter environments where he can take in the sights and smells at his own pace. Buddy can sometimes feel a little sensitive and can be reactive towards things that worry him such as unfamiliar dogs, cats or people, expressing himself with his own unique delicate little bark, but he remains very manageable and is easily redirected with some of his favourite tasty treats. Buddy is well accustomed to being left for short periods and settles nicely during alone time. Once fully settled into his new home and routine, leaving hours can gradually be reintroduced, and we feel he would cope well with being left for up to around four hours. A secure garden would benefit Buddy, particularly as he may need a little encouragement and consistency initially with his toilet training while adjusting to a new environment. We are looking for a calm, pet-free home where Buddy can enjoy all of his owner’s love and attention without worrying about competition from other animals. He would suit someone looking for a loyal little companion to share their sofa, their lap, and their heart with. Buddy is also familiar with car travel and is happy to be picked up and helped in the car. He settles very well, making him a lovely little companion to take along on adventures. This tiny gentleman has so much love to give and will make a truly devoted companion for the lucky people who welcome him into their home.

Demi is a handsome Romanian boy with a very sweet character, looking for a special home where he can truly thrive.Rescued in June 2021 along with two other dogs, from the streets in Romania, Demi has come a long way but still needs a bit of extra love and patience. Due to his background, Demi struggles to trust new people, so he requires an owner who understands the importance of a gradual introduction process. We’ll take things at his pace, which means multiple meetings with any potential adopters to ensure he feels comfortable and safe. Demi is best suited to a semi-rural environment, away from the hustle and bustle of a built up area. He would thrive in an adult-only, quiet and calm home where he is the only pet in the household. Demi requires a home with a safe and secure garden with boundaries of 6ft in height. Demi walks well on a harness and lead, making outings enjoyable. He has successfully completed a muzzle training program, allowing him to explore confidently and safely. Once Demi bonds with you, he shows an incredible affectionate side. He has the potential to be a loyal and devoted companion for the right person. This was recently concreted when a regular volunteer who visits Demi, at the sanctuary, offered to have him in her home, on a temporary foster basis. We jumped at the opportunity as, to our knowledge, Demi had not encountered a home environment ever before. Demi certainly proved himself as the most amazing dog, we knew he was during his time in foster. Our volunteer described him as “the most perfect house guest” and said his time with her, in her home “exceeded every exception I had of him as he took to being in a home like a duck to water, he was literally no trouble at all, and was an absolute pleasure to have around. And everything else was really manageable with a bit of forethought.” If you have a calm, understanding home and are ready to invest time in building a trusting relationship, Demi would love to meet you and start his journey to a happy forever home.

He came into our care alongside fellow Chihuahua Buddy after a change in their previous owner’s circumstances meant their needs could no longer be met. The pair initially went into foster together, but as they settled into their new surroundings, it became clear that their personalities were very different. Over time this led to an increasing number of little disagreements between them, so we decided to trial them separately. Since then, both dogs have flourished in their own space, and as a result we are now seeking separate homes for Rocky and Buddy. Since arriving in our care, Rocky has received dental treatment and is fully up to date with his vaccinations, flea, and worming treatments. He has embraced his new routine beautifully and has proven himself to be a happy little companion who simply enjoys life. Rocky is a sociable little dog who genuinely enjoys human company and actively seeks interaction from his carers. He loves being involved in daily life and is always happy to be close by, whether that’s joining you for a walk, relaxing in the garden, or curling up nearby for company. He has a playful side too and thoroughly enjoys toys and little games with his people, showing off his fun-loving personality once settled and comfortable. Rocky loves his walks and walks very nicely on his harness and lead, happily taking in the world around him. He is non-reactive out and about and enjoys engaging with his environment in a calm and confident manner. In foster, Rocky has been living alongside other small dogs and has been very comfortable in their company. He could happily share his next home with another similarly sized dog, provided he feels secure and does not have to compete for attention from his owners. He also appears relaxed and comfortable around cats, meaning he could potentially live with a calm, dog-savvy cat. Rocky has also previously lived with young children and has shared his foster home with them too. He would make a lovely addition to a family with respectful, dog-savvy children aged 8 years and over. One area Rocky does need support with is alone time. Although he has been gradually introduced to leaving hours, he does find being left difficult, even when other animals are present. Because of this, Rocky’s ideal home would be with someone who is around for the majority of the day and can introduce leaving hours very slowly and gently, always keeping him within his comfort zone. A safe and secure enclosed garden would be highly beneficial for Rocky. He may need some gentle encouragement with toilet training initially while settling into a new environment, and he particularly enjoys relaxing outdoors and soaking up the fresh air. Rocky also travels very well in the car and is happy to settle down and rest during journeys, making him an easy little companion to take along for adventures. This charming little boy has so much love and companionship to offer and will make a truly wonderful addition to a patient and loving home.

He would be best suited to an experienced terrier owner who understands the typical traits of the breed and can appreciate his quirks.Rustee is currently spending some time with one of our dedicated foster carers, where he has settled in really well. During his stay, he has shown that he can cope very successfully in a home environment and has given us a valuable insight into the type of home in which he will be happiest.Like most terriers, Rustee has a very high prey drive and is not comfortable around other dogs, so he will need to be the only pet in the home. To keep him and other animals safe, Rustee will need to remain on lead at all times when out and about and will be required to wear a muzzle. A disclaimer will be discussed and signed at the point of adoption to ensure his new owners fully understand and are committed to his needs.He is looking for a home with a secure garden, ideally with solid boundaries of at least 5ft, where he can safely enjoy time off lead, and easily continue with his house training. Due to his nature, any children in the household will need to be aged 16 or over.While he is an energetic little dog, he doesn't require long walks - short outings in quieter areas, away from other dogs and wildlife, will suit him best. Rustee could even simply be a home and garden dog, providing his owner is happy to devote plenty of time to engage with him through toy play and enrichment activities such as sniffy games.Once Rustee builds a bond with his people, his affectionate side really begins to shine. He'll gently nudge you for attention and enjoys calm, positive interaction.Rustee would benefit from some ongoing basic training, along with continued muzzle training to ensure he remains happy and comfortable wearing it. He is very food motivated so he responds well to positive reward based techniques.If you're an experienced owner looking for a fun, loyal companion and are happy to meet Rustee's specific needs, he could make a wonderfully rewarding addition to your home.His foster carer has seen just how rewarding it is to share a home with Rustee, and we're hopeful there's a perfect forever home waiting for this little character.
