Big bouncy gentle giant, seeking his forever home.This beautiful big boy is Ace and he is an ex racing greyhound. He has only recently retired from racing, so is still adjusting to the new routine and changes.He is good with other medium/large dogs, and could live with another dog pending meet and greet. But he would also be happy as the only dog in the home. We havent tried him near small dogs yet as he is still new to us, but given his size I dont think it would be a good idea to rehome him with small dogs. He is a big boy.He would need someone who can build up his leaving times slowly as living in a home will likely be new to him and he will need some time to adjust. But in general greyhounds are quick learners and soon learn to enjoy the home comforts, so hopefully Ace will be the same. He is likely going to need some house training initally, but in kennels he is a pretty clean boy so I dont think he would be hard to house train at all.As he is so recently retired from racing by only a few weeks, his body and mind is still adjusting to all the changes both in his environment and his body itself, so his we will continue to assess him as he continues to settle in. But so far he seems to walk well on the lead, he can be alert with cats but this is hopefully something that will continue to settle as he gets out of the racing mindset. He is muzzle trained and is used to wearing his greyhound muzzle on walks, which is the law anyway for the breed.He is a super friendly boy with people and could live with dog savy kids, but due to his size kids maybe 12yrs and over might be best, though kids as young as 8 could be considered if they have large dog experience. Ace is a wonderful big boy and we cant wait to get to know him more and hopefully find his forever home where he can relax and enjoy a cosy loving pet life now.Any questions im happy to answer them before or during a meet and greet.PLEASE NOTE IT WILL BE AFTER AUGUST 15TH BEFORE HE IS READY FOR ADOPTION, CURRENTLY AWAITING HIS NEUTER OPERATION AND GETTING HIS VET CARE UP TO DATE. Opening the applications early as people were having issues getting the 'notify me' button to work.

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.

Super sweet and special girl, seeking a specific forever home who will love her despite her differences.Gigi came in to our care from the pound along with her friend Madison, when they first came in she had to have a dental and skin samples sent off. Thankfully the skin results were nothing to worry about and she has healed well from her dental. Gigi is a super friendly girl, who loves doing zoomies when she is excited. Though she does have a calmer side and loves cuddles and attention. Gigi is a 'special needs' dog, what this means is she has deformaties to her back legs, so she just needs a very loving and understanding home.She is good with other dogs and could be rehomed with her friend Madison the other chinese crested, or also happy to be a pampered princess.Unlike Madison, Gigi was not able to have her bent bad leg removed as her other back leg also has deformaties (which can be seen in her xrays) and so the vets didnt want to risk any further weakness or instability through removing any legs. But Gigi is a super happy girl and can walk and run and jump just like any other dog. She will just always have a deformed back leg that she will often just have held up and dangling. She is not in pain or anything at all, she is just special.Offcourse the girls dont have to go to a home togeather, and if Gigi doesnt find a home she will be remaining here in our home. Gigi does not require any special care at the moment, but offcourse as she gets older she may require support for arthritis as it likely will occur as she gets older. She would also benefit from regular ongoing physio, may that be at home or with a professional. She has already had a session with an animal physio and she seemed to enjoy the session and was very relaxed.Given her differences, a home with kids over 12yrs old is best, so no young kids accidentally fall on her and hurt her. But she is friendly with everyone she has met and is a great girl. She will need basic training such as house training, as i dont think they were 'pets' before we got them, they have most likely been from some kind of puppy farm or backyard breeder given their deformaties and poor health on arrival. She walks ok on the lead but might need some continued basic training. She would be best in a home with human or dog company most of the time. But is also ok in a crate or play pen for a few hours no problem.Gigi is a hairy hairless chinese crested, which means the only hair she has is on her head and feet, so she does require some regular baths to keep her skin clean just like us humans. And extra protection or care is required during the summer months to prevent sunburn.. :)I WILL GET NEW PHOTOS UPLOADED SOON.

Beautiful friendly and loving boy seeking a suitable forever home.Harlow has come into rescue due to his owners being pet sitters and they said the constant new people and dogs coming in and out was just too stressful for Harlow to cope with and so felt a new home where there is less constant changes would be best for this gentle giant. Harlow is great with other dogs and could live with another dog no problem, to be honest a home with another dog would be prefered as he is used to having company all the time so dont know how he will cope on his own. In his previous home he also lived with kids, and they said he was very good with the children. So could live in a home with dog savy kids who are used to large dogs. He also previously lived with a cat, so could live with a dog savy cat if given proper introductions.Harlow can be reactive on the lead (barks and pulls) as he wants to play with other dogs, so this will require patience, understanding, and continued training to help him overcome this behaviour. He is generally very strong on the lead, so would probably have to go back to the basics. In the countryside and quiet areas he walks pretty well once he has got going, as there is alot less stress and stimulation around him. He is just a big bouncy baby boy, who also has some anxiety at times.He can be a high-energy boy but settles well when he receives regular exercise. He loves playing with the other dogs and absolutely loves playing fetch, though he doesnt always bring it back. He is happy to relax in the garden and squeak his tennis balls or roll in the long grass. He is a really wonderful boy. Harlow would be best suited to a home with someone who is around most of the time initally to provide a stable and consistent settling-in period. He can become anxious in new surroundings until he feels safe and secure. He has been previously house trained and previously crate trained. A home in a more rural or quiet area would be best, with a fully secure garden to ensure his safety.Harlow is an amazing boy, who just needs a patient and understanding home who is willing to put in some training initally to help him gain confidence and mature into his best self. He is the best boy and a real cuddle bug. He can be a little shy with some people initally, but once you give him some tasty treats and attention he soon becomes your best friend. In the home he is pretty settled and in general is just a wonderful boy with a great temperment. He will just need ongoing support and training in regards to his lead training and reactivity.

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.

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 medium and large 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 sometimes. Lola would love a home as the only dog, as she deserves to have all the attention. But could also live with another medium/large dog, ideally male.Whilst Lola has lived with kids previously, she has had some food guarding issues around feed times and bones in the past. Whilst this is no longer an issue she deals with here, a home with teens and over is required. (Please dont let this put you off, her families have all said she is an amazing girl, this behaviour can be easily managed if it occurs again in the future.)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 doesn't 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.

Madison is a lively, loving and fun little lady seeking her forever home.Madison came into our care from the dog pound due to her and her friend Gigi having deformed back legs and other medical requirements. After xrays and many vet consults, specialist vet consults and even an assessment by an animal physiotherapost. sadly Madisons back leg was not fixable, as it had been left untreated for too long and the formed leg had fused solid in a bent shape. She was not able to use the bad leg and it just hung there. So she has just had her leg removed there by our vets there on the 8th of July and she hasnt looked back since. She seems so much more happy and free now, you would think she had lived her whole life on three legs. Though to a degree I suppose she had prior to the amputation, as her bad leg was not usable. :/When she came into rescue she also had bad teeth, but our vets did a full dental and she is now up to date on all vet care and is a happy and healthy girl who is ready to start her new life. Madison is great with other dogs of all sizes, and could live with another dog pending meet and greet. She could also be rehomed with her friend Gigi the other chinese crested, but unlike Madison, Gigi was not able to have her bent bad leg removed as her other back leg also has deformaties and so the vets didnt want to risk any further weakness or instability through removing any legs. But Gigi is also super happy and can walk and run and jump just like any other dog also, she will just always have a deformed back leg that she will often just have held up and dangling. She is not in pain or anything at all, she is just special.Offcourse the girls dont have to go to a home togeather, If Gigi doesnt find a home she will be remaining here in our home.Madison is a very lively and always up for fun. She will need basic training such as house training, as i dont think they were 'pets' before we got them, they have most likely been from some kind of puppy farm or backyard breeder given their deformaties and poor health on arrival. As Madison is bouncy and lively, a home with kids over 8yrs+ would be required. She walks ok on the lead but might need some continued basic training. She would be best in a home with human or dog company most of the time.Madison is a hairy hairless chinese crested, so whilst she does require some regular baths to keep her skin clean just like us humans. And extra protection or care is required during the summer months to prevent sunburn.. :)

Maeve is a super sweet girl who would love her forever home.This beautiful girl is Maeve and she is a super sweet and loving girl. Maeve was adopted from us last year, but she came back into our care recently after her beloved owner passed away unexpectantly. Maeve was and is a much loved girl, who would love to find a new forever home where she can continue to be treated like the princess that she is.Maeve is great with other dogs, and could live with another dog pending meet and greet, she is also happy to be the only dog in the home also. She loves going for long walks, then spending the rest of her day snoozing on the sofa. She is an absolute sweetheart, she meant alot to her mummy, and she means alot to us, so she really deserves the best home possible.Maeve was house trained, but offcourse as she settles into a new environment and routine you may have to allow for a little refreshing. She would ideally love a home where someone is home quite alot, especially as she settles in and adjusts. She can cry at times when alone for too long (particularly the first few nights), but has never been destructive in anyway and does settle once she realises you are coming back. She came back into our care with her cosy bed and blankets and she is often found snuggled up having a nap. She also likes to be tucked in a night time. She is just the most precious soul, with so much love to give.Maeve has been around various kids through out her life, so she can live with dog savy kids pending meet and greet. Age range isnt overly important, the childrens behaviour around dogs is most important as she deserves to be treated with respect.Maeve has previously been crate trained, but i dont think her mummy used the crate in the year that she had her, so may need a gentle reintroduction if you plan on using one at all. Maeve is a smart girl who knows how to sit and give paw. Her story is a long one, but she is the best girl ever, and we would love to tell you more about her if you have an questions before or during a meet and greet. If anyone deserves to find a loving new home, its this sweet girl. If I didnt have a busy rescue to run, I would keep her myself, she is such a brave and strong soul who has been through alot in her young life, but she has never let it dim her sparkle and love for life.

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!
