Aggie is full of energy and is looking for an active household where she will have her exercise and mental stimulation needs met. Aggie would be suited to being the only pet in the household so she can have all the attention she deserves and training she requires to thrive. She can live with sensible children aged 16 and upwards who will suitably interact with her and appreciate the need to give her space when she needs it. Aggie is very eager to explore on her walks, and can pull on the lead. Due to her size, this is manageable but her new family would benefit from working on loose lead walking when she is in her new home. Aggie has the potential to learn very quickly. She is very food orientated and responds wonderfully to positive rewards based training, she therefore would benefit from an owner who can continue with her training with kindness and consistency. Aggie can be cautious around new people and situations. She’ll need slow, patient introductions to unfamiliar faces. However, once she warms up, Aggie has the potential to be a loyal and affectionate companion. Aggie will need her new owner to be around the majority of the day initially, while she gets familiar with her surroundings and routine, but leaving hours can slowly be introduced once she is settled. If you’re looking for a lively, loving dog who will keep you on your toes, Aggie might just be the perfect match for you!

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.

Despite her difficult start, Holly’s spirit is wonderfully bright, and she is already showing just how special she truly is.Since arriving with us, Holly has spent time in a loving foster home, where we’ve been able to learn all about her personality, her needs, and what will help her thrive in her forever home. She’s now ready to begin the next chapter of her life with a family of her own.In foster, Holly proved to be a devoted little shadow, happily following her carer from room to room with gentle curiosity. She loves being part of the action and simply enjoys knowing what her people are up to. True to her Labrador roots, Holly is very food-motivated and thoroughly enjoys her mealtimes!Holly is fully housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go outside. She has also been gradually introduced to being left alone and is currently comfortable for up to three hours.She is a friendly and affectionate girl who enjoys fuss and attention, and she handles grooming and general handling very well. Holly forms strong bonds quickly and clearly wants to please the people she cares about.Although Holly is a senior, she still has plenty of energy, strength, and enthusiasm for life. She enjoys playtime and enrichment activities like sniffy games, but she can sometimes become a little over-stimulated. When this happens, her strength can show, so her adopters will need to help her stay within her comfort levels and recognise when she’s had enough.Holly is comfortable wearing a harness and enjoys going out for walks, although these can sometimes feel overwhelming for her. During these moments, she may use her strength to pull on the lead, so she would benefit from short, calm walks in familiar areas where shefeels safe and secure. Alternatively, Holly is just as happy taking part in training games or scent work in the garden, which can provide just as much enrichment as a walk while helping her remain relaxed and comfortable.She is a real homebody and is at her most content spending time in the garden with her people, searching for hidden items or enjoying a short game of fetch or tug, before heading indoors for a well-earned snooze.She greets visitors with confidence, reflecting her friendly and sociable nature. Holly can travel in the car, although she may be a little restless during journeys for now.Holly already knows some basic commands and is eager to continue learning with her new family.Holly’s ideal home would be a calm, understanding environment where she can truly relax and feel safe. A pet-free home is essential, allowing her to enjoy the full love and attention of her owners. She would thrive with patient adopters who are willing to take the time to understand her needs and help guide her gently as she settles into home life.A safe and secure, quiet garden is also important for Holly, with solid boundaries of at least 6ft, giving her a space where she can enjoy enrichment, play, and downtime without becoming overwhelmed. If there are children in the home, they will need to be aged 12 or over and dog-savvy, able to respect Holly’s space and understand her needs.After everything she has been through, Holly truly deserves a home filled with kindness, comfort, and companionship. In return, she will offer unwavering loyalty, warmth, and a joyful presence.If you’re looking to give a deserving senior girl the loving retirement she’s been waiting for, Holly could be the perfect companion.

Misty walks beautifully on a lead and harness, staying relaxed and friendly when meeting other dogs or people out and about.At home, Misty is just as easy-going. She’s happy to snooze on blankets on the floor, but if given the chance, she won’t say no to snuggling up beside you on the bed for some extra comfort and companionship.Misty has already been introduced to short periods of being left alone (up to around 2 hours) and, once settled into her forever home, she may be comfortable with similar short absences.She previously lived with a cat and could potentially share her new home with a confident, dog-savvy feline that has had the experience of living comfortably with a large dog.Misty may also be able to live with another dog, pending successful introductions at the sanctuary.Misty would thrive in a home with a safe and secure garden with boundaries of at least 4ft in height.

Despite his difficult start, Skippy’s resilience is already shining through.When he first arrived, Skippy was understandably a little nervous and unsure of the world around him. However, the progress he has made in such a short space of time has been wonderful to see. His confidence continues to grow every day - especially when he has a calm, confident canine friend by his side to show him the ropes.True to his age and breed mix, Skippy is bouncy, energetic, and full of enthusiasm. He loves getting out on his walks, where he can sniff, explore, and take in all the exciting sights and smells around him. He is now comfortable walking on his harness and lead, though he will need continued work on his loose-lead skills as part of his ongoing training.Skippy still has plenty to learn about the world, including boundaries and basic training, using positive reward based techniques, so his new family will need to be patient, committed, and ready to dedicate the time and consistency he needs to thrive.

When meeting new people, he can be a little unsure at first, but if allowed to approach at his own pace, he warms up quickly and reveals his sweet, sociable nature.Once Skippy has had time to settle into his new home and build a secure bond with his family, leaving hours can gradually be introduced at a pace he feels comfortable with. As with all young dogs, this will need to be done slowly and positively to help him feel safe and confident when spending short periods alone.

This became an unmanageable situation for her previous owners, and the difficult decision was made that it was in Storm’s best interest to find a more suitable forever home.Upon arrival, Storm went straight into foster care with one of our valued foster carers. Initially, settling into the foster home was a big hurdle for her, as she was clearly very stressed during the first couple of days. However, with constant reassurance, space, calm, and patience from her carers, Storm began to relax and has since formed a wonderful bond with them. We anticipate a similar adjustment period when she transitions into her forever home.Since being in foster, Storm has shown herself to be a very typical, loyal Staffy. We are seeking a home where she will be the only pet, with children aged 14+ who are dog-savvy. A safe and secure garden with boundaries of at least 5ft is essential.Storm forms very strong bonds and is highly responsive to her carers. She absolutely adores fuss and affection once she trusts you. She thrives on a consistent routine, which helps her feel safe and secure. True to her breed, Storm will happily vocalise when excited - often greeting you with a toy in her mouth and that classic Staffy wiggle!She enjoys playing with and shredding toilet roll tubes but is not destructive in the home. At times, she can be a little selective with food, particularly when there is a lot of stimulation around, though poultry and beef are her favourites.An owner with previous Staffordshire Bull Terrier experience would be ideal, as Storm displays many typical breed traits. She is housetrained and has been gradually introduced to being left alone while in foster. However, she is not a dog who will thrive with long periods of isolation - not due to distress or destructiveness, but simply because she loves being around people. She truly is a people-focused dog.Storm is familiar with her basic commands and would benefit from an owner who is home for the majority of the time. On walks, she can be strong on the lead when following interesting scents or spotting potential “prey,” but she is responsive and eager to please. She loves to sniff and explore, so walks can be a bit stop-start. A patient owner who enjoys a relaxed stroll and allows her time to take in her surroundings would suit her perfectly.Storm also enjoys food enrichment activities such as filled Kongs and lick mats, although she is less interested in these during periods of alone time.Overall, Storm is a deeply affectionate, loyal, and characterful girl who thrives on companionship and routine. She is looking for a calm, understanding home that will give her the time and patience to settle, and in return, she will form an incredibly strong bond with her people.With the right match, Storm will make a devoted and loving companion who simply wants to be by your side and share in everyday life.

When she arrived, she was underweight and very timid, but thanks to the love and patience she’s received at the sanctuary, she has made truly incredible progress. Now estimated to be around 5 years old, Willow is thriving – steadily gaining weight and growing in confidence every single day.Initially shy and reserved, Willow has blossomed into a lively, affectionate girl with a gentle soul. She can still be a little wary around unfamiliar people, but a calm approach and a few tasty treats work wonders. Before long, she’ll be leaning in for fuss and soaking up all the affection she can get.Willow absolutely adores other dogs and has a real zest for play. She’s always trying to instigate games and would be happiest sharing her home with another high-energy dog who enjoys having a playful companion. Out on walks, she may sometimes be vocal when she spots other dogs, but this comes purely from excitement and frustration as she’d love nothing more than to say hello and start a game!A very food-motivated girl, Willow will benefit from ongoing basic training in her new home once she’s fully settled. She walks beautifully on a harness and lead, complete with an adorable prancing strut that never fails to make her handlers smile. Due to her strong prey drive, Willow is not suitable for off-lead walking and will need a safe, secure garden with 6ft boundaries where she can enjoy zoomies and explore freely.As with other sighthounds, Willow has undergone a successful muzzle-training programme and is now comfortable wearing her muzzle while out and about. Her new owner will be required to continue this practice to help keep Willow and other animals safe.Willow was lucky enough to enjoy a short “sleepover” foster stay with one of our wonderful regular volunteers, giving us valuable insight into how she copes in a home environment. She showed herself to be everything we hoped for – housetrained, polite, playful, and able to settle in her bed when asked. She travelled calmly in the car and was an absolute joy to have around.Our volunteer shared:“For every ounce of love shared with Willow, she will return it 10 times over. It was an utter pleasure to see this timid and kind girl come to life in a home environment. From discovering all the toys were hers, to zoomies in the garden and curling up on the sofa beside you, Willow kept me smiling and laughing in equal measure.”Willow has a sweet, affectionate nature and forms strong bonds with those she trusts. She would be best suited to a calm, patient home where any children are aged 10 or over. If you’re looking for a charming, spirited companion who simply needs a little understanding and a lot of love, Willow could be the perfect match.
