Bandit is a shy but loving boy seeking his forever home.Bandit is a shy but loving boy seeking his forever home. He came into rescue due to a change in his owners circumstances. He is a more shy and timid natured boy until he gets to know you, but his confidence is growing daily. He is great with other dogs and would benefit from a home with another dog. He does walk well on the lead, but can get spooked at times, but some gentle reassurance and he walks again, this will continue to improve with time.He has been raised around kids, but given his shy nature a home with dog savy kids 8yrs and older would be best. He travels ok in the car, we use a crate and a cosy bed and he normally just lies down and has a nap.Bandit didn't live inside a home before, his owners had him in a kennel setup. So he will need some house training and patience's to help him settle into a new home. In rescue he is currently inside our home and I'm general is a very calm boy who spends most of his day relaxing on his bed.He will need a secure garden, and ideally someone home alot initially, but he would also be ok with another dog there instead, but you will have to allow for some potty accidents as he settles in and learns how to be house living.

Bella is a special girl who needs a suitable home.Bella is a beautiful little Cocker spaniel x Retriever who needs a suitable adult only home. She isnt suitable around kids, so needs a home with no kids and if any kids are visiting she would need to be kept seperately. She is crate trained, so could be placed in a crate in a seperate room.Bella is ok with other dogs on walks and can share her play area with other dogs no problem, but she would like to be the only dog in the home as she much prefers her own space. She likes playing with her toys and would play fetch all day if you let her. She is also happy to content herself running around with a toy in her mouth or watching the birds. She does walk ok on the lead in quiet and rural areas, but in busier areas she has a tendancy to pull towards fast moving objects such as cars, cyclists etc. Aslong as she gets her needs met through excercise or brain games she is a happy girl. If she doesnt and she gets bored, she can start staring at shadows/reflections due to boredom. She is used to sleeping a crate at night time. She did have a nipping/biting incident in her previous home when they tried to pick her out of the carboot while she was sleeping, so its believed she may have some sleep startle. We have had no aggression from her during her time with us, she is very food and toy orientated which makes training easier. She is a good girl who just needs a suitable forever home.Before coming into our care, Bella did suffer from ongoing tummy issues. Tests were done and it was discovered she had been dealing with an ongoing parasite infection which required special medication to treat. She has now completed two courses of this medication to make sure all the bugs are dead. But as a result of the years without treatment, she has been left with a sensitive tummy and can have flair ups of soft stool at times.

Buddy is a very fearful boy, who requires a very quite more rural home with no children as he will snap if he gets really scared.Buddy is a very fearful boy, who requires a very quite more rural home with no children as he will snap if he gets really scared. He would likely need potential adopters to visit more than once as it takes him quite a while to warm up to new people. Once he got used to me, he became very cuddly and affectionate and will follow me everywhere if i let him. He is currently working on going for short walks on a harness, he is terrified of the leads around his neck and will panic and thrash about. But he is doing well on the harness and is growing in confidence. He will need alot of time, patience and understanding. He will now walk on a slip lead for me as he trusts me, be wont walk on a slip lead for anyone else, so a harness would be required.

CP is a lovely boy who needs an extra special home.CP came into our care from one of the local pounds, due to having a sore leg they were unable to rehome him. He had xrays and assessments with our vet and also got a second opinion, but it was discovered that the bones in his leg was deformed and causing him great discomfort and due to him not using the leg the vets said the only option was amputation. He has recovered well from the surgery and it hasnt held him back one bit. He is infact much happier and care free now.CP is great with other dogs of a similar size, currently used to living with three other dogs with no issues, but he can find larger dogs overwhelming.He is absolutely fine with cats and could live with a cat no problem.We were told that CP is child friendly, but we think he would be best in a home with teens and over as he can get worried at times, and he can also bond hard with some people and not always want to share the attention (this has caused him to snap at some people on occasion). He spends most of his day currently snuggled up under the duvet in my mothers room. He has become her shadow and loves being close, often spending the night snuggled up right against her back or face. So im sure he will bond with the next person just as much and very quickly become your best friend. He hasnt shown signs of seperation anxiety.He is good in the house, but might need some house training as he settles into a new home and routine, he currently uses puppy pads if we are not home. He has never been noisy or destructive whilst within the home. He is also used to a crate, but we dont use it very often.A secure garden would be required for his safety.

Finn is a very friendly and smart boy who knows many tricks and is very eager to learn. He had seperation anxiety, so may cry and bark when alone.Finn is one of our longer term residents, he would love a forever home. Please read the entire description before applying. Finn is a 5yr old Lurcher, he loves people and can be live in a home with teens and older. He is not suitable around kids as he hasnt been around kids before. Finn has been in rescue now over 2 years, so he will need a patient and understanding home who will allow him time to decompress and adjust when in a new home. He is a very smart boy, who loves to learn. He knows alot of tricks such as sit, down, paw, spin and jump up. He has alot of brains and would thrive in a home who loves training. He loves food, cuddles and playing with his toys. He loves playing fetch and going for long walks. Finn does have lead reactivity, we are happy to cover some training sessions to help with this, with one of our approved dog trainers. When we are walking him, he does well for me and is easy to redirect his attention. In rescue Finn does mix with other medium/large dogs pretty well in introduced properly, but would like a home as the only dog as he is going to need additional care and time, and when it comes to his toys or bones he doesnt like sharing them with other dogs, he is fine sharing them with me. Finn was house trained in his previous home, but he has been in kennels for a few years, so he may need some refreshing initially, though he is smart so ive no doubt he would learn again very quickly. In his last home he had very bad seperation anxiety and would cry when alone, he doesnt display this anymore here. But when in a new home he may display this behaviour again, so he will need someone who can build up his leaving times slowly. Finn has been a good boy whilst in our care the past few years, he is a smart boy with alot of potential, he just needs a specific home who is willing to help him become his best self.

Hatchi is a lovely boy seeking a suitable forever home.Hatchi is a beautiful boy who has been through a few homes in his young life before we got him, so we would love to find him his forever home. His recent owner had to surrender him through no fault of Hatchi or the family, they had a change in family circumstances. Hatchi is a very sweet boy, he is good with people and loves attention, he can be shy with some people at first but he comes around very quickly. He would be best in a home with kids 12yrs and over.Hatchi is ok with other dogs, but he can be anxious which can cause him to be very vocal and scared of some dogs until he gets used to them. He much prefers dogs who arent in his face all the time. In our home he is currently sharing with two other dogs no problem. So could potentially live with another dog pending successful meet and greet.Hatchi is naturally a more nervous boy in general, so will need a patient loving home willing to give him time to settle in. He settled in to our home very quickly, but every home is different. He walks well on the lead, but again due to being nervous he would likely react if an offlead dog was to run up into his space. He just hasnt had alot of socialisation, so will take time to learn and grow in confidence. But we are seeing improvements every day. In the house he is very happy and well behaved, outside of the house he is very anxious and is working on this, but it is something that his new family will have to continue working on. (We can offcourse cover training support no problem, to help him become the best boy he can be.) A more rural and calm area would be best, he definately wouldnt suit a built up and busy living area.Hatchi has been quite settled in our home, not destructive or anything. He is also happy to sleep in a crate overnight if required. But he will need some house training initally, as he settles and adjusts to a new home and routine.

Leeroy is a very sensitive boy, seeking a forever home.Leeroy was recently surrendered to rescue, due to the landlord no longer allowing pets.He was raised in a home with kids and he loved them. Since coming to rescue he has offcourse found it quite overwhelming, but he is starting to show his personality more each day. He is still quite shy with people, he has just lost his family so it will just take him some time to adjust. But his confidence is growing daily.He is generally good with other dogs, he mixes with a range of dogs here, big and small. So he could live with another dog pending a meet and greet, but also happy being the only dog aslong as he has some human company around most of the time. He can occassionally find certain dogs overwelming, and does seem to prefer females and neutered males more. Intact males he sometimes gets on ok, sometimes they dont.Leeroy can get upset when left alone, so would need someone home most of the time to build up his leaving times slowly. But if you have another dog, this might help also. He has had previous house training, but might need a little refreshing in a new home and routine. However in rescue he is so far quite a clean boy in the kennels. He does have some crate training.Leeroy is 30kg, so he is a strong boy. So when walking he can pull, but does calm down once he gets going. He has been used to living in a rural location, so everything will be new to him and he will just need time to grow in confidence. He is still very much a big pup.

Lola is a beautiful big teddy bear who just needs a suitable forever home.Lola is a lovely big girl, who just loves people. Once she bonds with you, she is like your shadow.Lola is great in the house and has been used to living in a loving home most of her life. So she would really love to find a new home to spend the rest of her life.Lola does mix with other dogs here at the rescue and can socialise with other dogs on a one to one basis with the correct introductions. She can be nervous with other dogs at times, so introducing new dogs to her has to be done properly. Lola would love a home as the only dog, as she deserves to have all the attention.Whilst Lola has lived with kids previously, she does have food guarding issues around feed times and bones, so a home with teens and over is required, so that this behaviour can be successfully managed. (Please dont let this put you off, her families have all said she is an amazing girl, this behaviour can be easily managed.)Lola is not suitable around cats or small animals. She would be best in a more rural or quiet area as she can be reactive on lead at times, she doesnt like strange dogs running into her space when on walks. We can cover some training costs to help with this issue. True to the Akita in her mix, she is very loyal to her family and would love a family who will be equally as loyal to her. We really need this next home to be her forever home.

Beautiful and loving pup, seeking a gentle and patient forever home.This stunning little lady is Maple and she is on the search for a patient and loving forever home.She can be a timid girl at first due to lack of socialisation prior to coming to rescue. But she soon comes around and loves nothing more than cuddles and attention.She is a good girl when being bathed, brushed and is ok with the hair dryer on her first groom. She will need all basic puppy training including house training and lead training.Maple is great with other dogs and would benefit from living with another confident dog, but would also be ok as the only dog if there is someone around alot to help her adjust and settle in. She has never lived in a home before, so she will need some patiences and love to help her learn.She is a beautiful long haired girl, so will need regular brushing to maintain her beautiful coat. She is currently used to sleeping in a puppy pen at night time with puppy pads.Once she comes out of her shell more and more, she is expected to be an active girl who will certainly bring alot of fun to her family, once she feels brave enough, as we can already see glimpses of her fun personality trying to shine through.

Robyn is a beautiful little lady who is seeking a calm and loving forever home.Robyn is a beautiful little lady who is seeking a calm and loving forever home. She came into our care from the dog pound as she was extremely stressed there and not showing her true nature. Since coming into rescue she has flourished into a very loving and happy girl. She is great with other dogs and has been doing really well with new people so far. She still has some small moments of shyness, but mostly she is a bubbly and fun loving girl.As she came from the pound we don't know her history with kids, for this reason she is seeking a calmer home with kids 12yrs+. She seems to be very settled inside the home and sleeps in her wee bed at night no problem. She may need some house training once rehomed as she adjusts to a new home and routine. But I don't think it will take her long to settle, as she settled here very quickly too.She was well on the lead, we currently use a harness due to her being a pug and not wanting to put strain on her airways with the use of a collar.

Sockie is a very friendly girl who just needs a commited forever home.This beautiful girl is Sockie, she has come into our care from the dog pound. After finding herself in the pound three times in her young life.Sockie is a very friendly girl who just wants to be close and getting attention. She mixes well with other dogs of all sizes and loves a good game of chase.She is child friendly and previously lived happily with children. She loves snuggling up on the sofa and in general in the home she is a very settled and well behaved girl. She has been house trained and crate trained, but offcourse you do have to allow her some grace during her first week or two in a new home as its a stressful time. She is ok being left alone for a few hours at a time. A home with another dog would be preferred but is not essential. She is a smart girl who knows how to sit on command, and is eager to learn new tricks in exchange for attention or tasty treats.She walks good in quiet areas, but she does need some lead training as she can become over excited in more busier areas or when she see's dogs on walks. Some positive dog training will certainly help her lead walking. We are happy to help towards some dog training with a positive reinforcement trainer. Sockie is a fun girl, who will require a secure garden. She is not suitable with cats or around livestock as she finds them to exciting and would offcourse chase them if allowed too.

He currently has been living with Bandit.Toby has been raised with kids, but would be best suited to a home with kids 8yrs+.He walks well on the lead in general, but can be a little shy at times, but this will continue to improve with repeated walks and exposure.

In general he is a very fun boy.Tobys owner had him living in a kennel setup so he will require some house training initially and would be best suited to a home where someone is home alot initially. Though he does settle if he is with another dog, he does cry and bark if he thinks I'm going down the field without him.He travels well in the car, we normally just pop a cosy bed in a crate and he curls up for a nap. In general he is just a wonderful whippet.He is currently a little underweight but has started to gain weight now in rescue. He loves his food.
