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 healed him back one bit. He is infact much happier and care free now. CP is good with other calm dogs in general, but he can find larger dogs overwhelming. Ideally he would love to be the only dog in the home as he doesnt always like to share the attention, 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.

Beautiful and super friendly pups, seeking loving and active forever homes. These beautiful pups are Pug (dad) x Collie (mum). They were raised within in a family home, so are very social and friendly little pups. They will require all basic puppy training, but their family did start some lead training with the pups. A home with someone home most of the day or another dog companion would be required, as no baby should be alone for long periods of time. Given their mix, the pups will most likely grow to a medium size. They are great with dogs, cats and can live with kids. They are still just babies, so are at the perfect age to begin training and help them grow into well rounded adults.

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.

Maisie is a good girl, seeking a suitable forever home. Maisie is a beautiful German shepherd x Husky, she was raised in a loving family home but sadly after an incident with one of the small dogs in the house, she has found herself seeking a new home. She could live with another medium/large dog pending a meet and greet. But she would also be more than happy to be the only dog in the home where she can get all the attention. Not suitable to live with small dogs or cats. But fine with other dogs of all sizes when out on walks.She really loves people and getting attention, she previously lived in a home with teenagers and had no issues at all, so could live in a home with kids ideally 12yrs+ based on her size. She does walk pretty well on the lead, and in general is a very good girl. She was fully house trained, but has been in kennels currently so might need a little refreshing. She isnt a big fan of the kennels sadly, though she has settled down, she does find it overwhelming at times so it would be nice to have her settled in a suitable home. Maisie would be the perfect companion for an active family who likes the outdoors, she would love going for long walks, hikes up the mountains etc. She may need someone home alot initally who can help her settle back into a home and routine.

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.

Tessie is a beautiful and friendly girl seeking an active forever home. This beautiful girl is Tessie, she is a super friendly, bouncy and fun girl seeking an active forever home. She is great with other dogs and would benefit from a dog companion to play with. She could live with older kids, at the moment she is too bouncy for young kids, she means no harm but could knock small kids over by accident. Tessie has been previously house trained but offcourse in a new home and routine she may need some refreshing. She would be best with someone home most of the time, if left alone for long periods she can cry sometimes and is still a pup so has a tendency to de-fluff dog beds and toys. She is a lovely girl who just needs some basic training. She can be strong on the lead and bark at other dogs as she just wants to be everyone's friend. With daily walks and some basic training this will improve.

Tyler is the best boy, he has been an absolute delight since coming back into our care. Tyler was originally born in rescue, when his mother Flo came into our care pregnant. All the pups found their new homes, including Tyler. But recently his adopter had been having a few issues and so he was returned to our care. Tyler is a very special pup to me, as I hand reared him as he was so small and fragile as a pup. We nearly lost him a few times when he was only a few weeks old, but he is a strong boy who fought to live and now he has matured into a beautiful healthy and happy boy. Since being in our care we have found Tyler to be an amazing and very social young lurcher. He is amazing with other dogs both big and small, and would love a forever home with another dog ideally as he loves to play. He is fully house trained and is so far not destructive in anyway. He loves meeting new people and is not shy in any way, he is a very affectionate and loving boy. Tyler is currently working on his lead manners as he does pull on the lead currently, but he is still only a pup so plenty of time to learn. We are happy to cover some inital training for him with one of the trainers we trust, if this is required. Im more than happy to chat about Tyler and his needs in more detail to any potential adopters. All I can say is he is an amazing boy. Tyler is absolutely fine socialising with humans of various ages when in public etc. But at the moment he would be best in a home with adults only as he does have some food guarding issues, we manage this well at the rescue, but it will need careful management also when rehomed. Please don't let this put you off, as he is a good boy, this issue can be managed well with some structure. We are also happy to cover some training costs with a positive dog trainer in regards to this issue. Tylers welfare is paramount, and just like any other animal in our care. He will be safe and loved here until we find the most suitable home for him. He will only go to a home that will love and appreciate him as much as we do. He is an amazing dog!
