About Pads Dog Rescue

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 Dog Rescue

Frank

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.

Kiki

Scotland
SexFemale
Age7 years
BreedChihuahua X Yorkshire Terrier

Kiki came in from her owner after she took a dislike to the older dog in the family and attacked her a few times. Kiki doesn’t care for other dogs much and would prefer to be the only dog in her new family. She may be a bit reactive when out walking so isn’t a ā€˜doon the park’ kinda dog!Kiki is house-trained and is not destructive if left, she’d love family where she was allowed on the furniture and particularly in the bed – under the covers!She was brave at the vets but frightened as she can be of any new people.She would love her own private and secure garden she can charge around in!

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.

Patches, a 9 years old female Collie available for adoption from Pads Dog Rescue in Scotland

Patches

Scotland
SexFemale
Age9 years
BreedCollie

Patches came to us from her family, she has not been well socialised with new dog but mixed well with family dogs but is very friendly towards all people.Patches arrived with a mammary tumour which has been removed and tested; this carcinoma was stage 2 but was removed fully. The recurrence rate for this type of tumour is low in the first year but 25% chance of recurrence in year 2, we have since spayed her to minimise the likelihood of recurrence but any adopter should be aware that this is a probability.Patches pulls a little on lead and can be excitable around large sized traffic, recall is not tested.Patches may be able to live with another dog with a couple of introductions, and children 8+, but will chase cats and other small furry creatures.

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

Pads Dog Rescue

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.
