About Pads Dog Rescue

Perthshire Abandoned Dogs Society (PADS) is a long-established local dog rescue charity based at kennels in Forteviot, just south-west of Perth in Scotland. The charity provides care and shelter for unwanted and stray dogs across the county, with renovated kennels that can accommodate up to thirty dogs in warm and comfortable surroundings. PADS offers essential veterinary treatment for sick and injured animals, supported by a small on-site hospital unit for post-operative recovery. A dedicated mother-and-baby unit also ensures that nursing dogs and their puppies receive safe and attentive care while awaiting loving new homes.

Atlas, a 1 year old male Siberian Husky available for adoption from Pads Dog Rescue in Scotland

Atlas

Scotland
SexMale
Age1 year
BreedSiberian Husky

Atlas arrived with us through no fault of his own, he’s has missed out on some training and socialisation in his first year.With the help of his breeder we’ve had him fostered but sadly he struggled to live with other pets and children. He was fostered with another dog but he started bullying them after a while, he was ok with the cats initially and then began hunting them.Atlas is quite strong on a lead but does calm down after a while. As he’s not reliable around other dogs, and a Husky, we would be prefer he had his own private garden for off-lead exercise.Atlas will need an experienced home, with no young children.

Bella

Scotland
SexFemale
Age2 years
BreedLabrador

Bella arrived with Lucie, her litter mate. The girls have had to come to us due to a relationship breakdown.We would like to rehome them together but equally they are quite different and so could be separated. The girls are quite a force together and would likely excel being in their own homes getting all of the attention and to further their training.They are good with other dogs, have lived with a cat (although harassed it a bit), and have never lived with children. The girls are house-trained, travel well and enjoy meeting new people.They are both overweight and will benefit from a strict diet and regular light exercise to help them reach their ideal weight.

Frank, a 2 years old male Boston Terrier X Lhasa Apso available for adoption from Pads Dog Rescue in Scotland

SexMale
Age2 years
BreedBoston Terrier X Lhasa Apso

Frank arrived from his owner due to a relationship breakdown.Frank is an independent wee soul and doesn’t like being grabbed or groomed, Frank required muzzling at the vets. He finds children too much and needs an adult only home. He enjoys a walk and walks fairly well on lead, his recall requires work. He’s a busy wee guy and needs mental stimulation and play, he does have the old luxating patella skip but it does not impact his mobility.Frank is not dependable around other dogs, so should be a solo dog and has never met a cat.Anyone interested in adopting Frank will likely have to visit a number of times to build trust.

Kyle, a 2 years old male Lurcher available for adoption from Pads Dog Rescue in Scotland

Kyle

Scotland
SexMale
Age2 years
BreedLurcher

Kyle was found as a stray, he’s mostly lurcher but there could be some yellow lab in there too.Given his general body condition we believe he’s likely been kept outdoors and although he will soil his kennel overnight he is careful to step around it so house-training is likely to take shape quickly.He’s a friendly boy with humans, happily handled by a vet but being a stray our policy is that we cannot rehome with kids less than 12 years old. He is excitable around other dogs, so best matched with dogs his own size perhaps. Being a sighthound we would not rehome with cats or other small furry creatures.He’s been walked by dog walking volunteers who commended him but being a sighthound off lead adventures are strictly for gardens or dog parks at this time, garden boundary heights of at least 1.5 metres as he’s bouncy!

Monty, a 7 years old male Greyhound available for adoption from Pads Dog Rescue in Scotland

Monty

Scotland
SexMale
Age7 years
BreedGreyhound

Monty was rehomed and sadly returned as he’s begun resource guarding and management with their other dog became too tricky.Monty is lovely big boy (over 30kgs). He was a bit shy of being handled by a vet but that’s probably just lack of exposure. He enjoys a walk with volunteer dog walkers and is clean in his kennel. He is ok with other dogs his size, being of sighthound heritage he would likely chase small fluffy animals so isn’t best placed with cats. He’s been around children but hasn’t lived with them, so older children would be best.

Tanner, a 2 years old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier available for adoption from Pads Dog Rescue in Scotland

Tanner

Scotland
SexMale
Age2 years
BreedStaffordshire Bull Terrier

Tanner arrived with us as a stray locally but we have been able to chat to his first owners in England.Tanner was rehomed by his first family as he is a very high energy dog and ill health meant he wasn’t given enough training time as a youngster. He’s lived with kids but is just too boisterous for them so needs more hardy kids that are harder to knock over. He loves everyone he meets and will run around a group of people like the wall of death he finds them JUST SO EXCITING!!!He’s ok with other dogs but just too full on and other dogs find him just too much. He’s going to chase cats or any other small furry or feather creature out of excitement but then will likely squish them!This crazy boy doesn’t ever sit still and needs a new owner with a good sense of humour and plenty of patience to teach him some manners and give him the mental stimulation he so craves.He’s house-trained but wasn’t ever left alone for long and might have a wee nibble of household items if left alone too long!*please note that this photograph is deceptive, he is around 20kgs so not as small as the photo might lead you to believe

Willow, a 10 years old male Lakeland Terrier available for adoption from Pads Dog Rescue in Scotland

Willow

Scotland
SexMale
Age10 years
BreedLakeland Terrier

Willow was rehomed last year and has to be returned due to her determination to escape the garden and chase livestock and wildlife around the home. Willow may be 10 years old but her legs are like springs and her eyes and ears are as sharp as a 1 year old!Willow is a dream in the house, welcomes all human visitors, loves a sunbathe and a cuddle, and getting under the duvet at night. Unfortunately, she is the polar opposite outside of the home with a high prey drive. Willow needs someone who has no garden or a very secure one, she has managed to climb over a 6ft fence here. Although she is ok with kids, the likelihood of kids leaving doors and gates open does mean that she might not be suited to some families / homes. Willow will chase cats and small furry creatures. She has lived with another male dog but would need careful introduction to any new friends.
