Meet Bentley: The Gentle Boy with a Heart Full of Love! Location: Fostered in Ayr Say hello to Bentley, a handsome and lovable large/medium boy who is looking for his forever home. Bentley may be a big boy in size, but his heart is even bigger. Bentley’s journey has not been an easy one. Rescued as a puppy, he spent his early years in a Romanian vet clinic after being diagnosed with diabetes. Despite his condition, Bentley remained a sweet and affectionate pup, but sadly, no rescues offered to take him on due to the ongoing medical costs. That’s when we stepped in and brought him to the UK in June 2024, giving him the second chance he truly deserves. Since arriving in the UK, Bentley has flourished! With regular vet visits and medication, his diabetes is now stable. He is such a trooper and takes his daily medications and regular blood tests in stride. Bentley is THE most patient, gentle, and loving dog you’ll ever meet, and his calm, positive nature makes him a joy to be around. Bentley’s diabetes does require him to follow a strict diet to keep his glucose levels stable. His adoptive family will need to commit to maintaining this routine, but Bentley’s loving nature and wonderful personality make it all worthwhile. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and has also lived alongside cats in the vets, so he’d be happy in a multi-pet household. His favourite things include sunbathing, cuddling with his human friends, and being the centre of attention (he’s quite the charmer!). Bentley has won the hearts of everyone who meets him, and it's impossible not to smile when you see his sweet face. Despite his remarkable qualities, Bentley has had little interest from potential adopters. We believe this is largely due to his ongoing medical condition even though he rarely needs to see a vet now that his condition is well under control. As a charity, we are committed to continuing Bentley’s insulin medication costs for as long as necessary, but what he truly needs now is a family who will appreciate his kind spirit and give him the love he deserves. Please note that Bentley would thrive in an adult-only home where he can live safely with his strict diet and no temptation for food outside of his prescribed meals. If you think you can offer Bentley the loving home he deserves, please complete an adoption application at https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org/dog-application-form. A home check and adoption donation will apply. We know Bentley has so much love to give, and with your help, he’ll find the perfect home where he can live the rest of his days surrounded by warmth, love, and cuddles. Thank you for considering giving this incredible boy the life he deserves!

Bobby is a lovely little dog with a gentle nature and a playful spark. He can be a little shy when you first meet him, but it doesn’t take long for his friendly, affectionate personality to shine through. Once he knows you, Bobby is full of fun — he loves to play, enjoys cuddles, and is always happy to be picked up and fussed over. Bobby is great with other dogs and really enjoys their company, especially when it comes to playtime. He’s a well-rounded little lad who is already crate trained and toilet trained, giving him a fantastic start for his new home. Bobby’s Ideal Home: A loving home willing to give him time to settle and build confidence Owners committed to continuing his lead training (he will start this in rescue) Could live with other friendly dogs Suitable for homes with older, sensible children Bobby would suit many different types of homes and, with a little patience and guidance, will grow into a confident and devoted companion. He’s the perfect mix of playful and cuddly — a little dog with a lot of love to give. Could Bobby be the one for you? Adopters must be able to travel to Ayr to meet and collect Bobby.

Buddy is a happy, confident little pup who is ready to take on the world — he just needs a family to show him how. Rescued in Romania alongside his mum (Sweetie Pie) and his siblings, Buddy arrived with us in March and has absolutely blossomed in foster. From a quiet start, he has grown into the most confident of the litter — playful, affectionate, and always ready for a cuddle or a game. Buddy is everything you’d hope for in a puppy — curious, fun-loving, and full of potential. He’s already doing brilliantly by going to the toilet outside, so with a good routine in his new home, he should pick up house training quickly. Buddy’s Ideal Home: A family ready to dedicate time to puppy training and routine A secure, enclosed garden to safely support his early training Owners committed to lead training (he hasn’t been on a lead yet) A home ready for fun, patience, and lots of adventures Buddy could suit many types of homes, but like all puppies, he will need time to settle and learn. With the right guidance, he will grow into a fantastic companion. He’s a confident, cuddly little character who will bring joy, laughter, and love to his forever family. All he needs now is someone to give him that chance. Could you be the one to give Buddy the life he deserves? Adopters must be able to travel to Ayr to meet and collect Buddy. Please read our adoption process here: https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org/adopt-a-dog A home check and adoption donation will apply. Note Buddy is not yet castrated due to his age - this will be a requirement on his adoption. We look forward to hearing from you!

Meet Iona – The Sweet, Shy Sister Fostered in Ayr, Scotland DOB: 28 December 2024 Vaccinated, pet passport ready, not yet spayed (too young) Iona’s story began in Romania, where she was rescued as a tiny puppy with her 2 sisters. Sadly, she spent her whole puppyhood in rescue kennels with not much space or adventure. Despite this tough start, Iona has grown into a gentle, friendly girl with so much love to give. She can be a little shy when she first meets new people, but she warms up quickly and soon becomes your number-one fan. Like her sisters, Iona has never lived in a home or walked on a lead, so she’ll need patient owners willing to teach her everything from scratch. She’ll thrive in an adult-only, rural home with a secure garden, where she can stretch her legs and build her confidence at her own pace. Sweet, beautiful, and playful — Iona just needs her chance to shine. All three sisters are gentle, sweet, and eager to love. They need dedicated homes willing to guide them through the basics of home life, but the reward will be three incredible companions with hearts as big as their paws.

Meet Islay – The Life of the Party Fostered in Ayr, ScotlandDOB: 28 December 2024Vaccinated, pet passport ready, not yet spayed (too young)Islay was rescued in Romania as a tiny pup with her 2 sisters and grew up in cramped rescue kennels without much space to run or play.

She hasn’t lived in a home or walked on a lead before, so her new family will need patience, commitment, and a good sense of humour.She’s a big puppy with even bigger energy, so an adult-only home with a large, secure garden is essential — ideally in a rural area where she can zoom to her heart’s content.Islay may be a big girl but she’s pure joy wrapped in fur and will reward her family with endless laughs and love.All three sisters are gentle, sweet, and eager to love. They need dedicated homes willing to guide them through the basics of home life, but the reward will be three incredible companions with hearts as big as their paws.Think you could give one of these girls their forever home?

Date of Birth: 27 Sept 2023Found in the middle of no-where with a very badly infected leg 2x3 times the size it should be. Founds by a group of rescuers in Romania and had his leg amputated but they had no-where to put him so he ended up living in a van for three weeks and we believe in that time that his dressings were not changed so by the time he found his way to our partner rescue he again had a very bad infection. With our support we worked with local vets to treat the infection and complete X-rays to ensure all was ok as he still had a stump. Unfortunately it appears that there was still a sharp shard of bone so this required another operation to remove this and make Ronnie much more comfortable. He appears to have no ongoing issues now and loves to run around and play like he was never injured in the first place and shows no mobility issues. He is not yet lead trained so his family will need to have a secure garden (without steps for access) where they can work on this in a safe environment and be prepared to manouver him around and bring him back into the house but he is currently coming in and getting into his crate himself.He is a little shy and nervous but we believe that in a home with 1:1 focus and attention he will come along brilliantly.We are looking for a child free home. He can live with another young female dog. Also looking for a quiet home so one without too much comings and goings.He is really playful and runs around the garden and loves a good chase.

Names: Tessa & ToscaD.O.B: 20 June 2018Gender: Female (neutered)Breed: Mixed breed(Please note Tessa & Tosca must live in a child free, pet free and dog free home and would ideally be rehomed together).Tessa and Tosca were in a shelter together for 3 years before coming under our care. During that time they were well cared for, but did not receive as much human attention as they perhaps needed. As a results they came to us as very timid pups and have both been adopted separately and come back to us as they were too timid apart to live in a home. We would therefore love to see these girls adopted together as they rely on each other for their confidence. At the rescue they enjoy playing, sleeping and cuddling. Tessa and Tosca have done a little lead training at the rescue, but we would need a family willing to put in the time and effort to gain their trust and work on their training slowly and with our support. We know it’s a big ask to find these two a home together, but we like to dream big for our dogs. If you have the time, patience and love for these girls please complete the 'pre-adoption application form' at the top of this page.(Please note a homecheck and adoption donation of £500 applies).

Travis came from Romania into our rescue along with his 2 siblings in 2018. He has not yet been rehomed due to his disability but now we would love to find a very special home for this very special boy!Travis was born with issues in his hips and many vets in Romania diagnosed many different things, but it was only when he came into our care and saw our vets (and had more X-Rays) that we confirmed a diagnosis. Travis does not have any hip sockets – they never formed. So his hips do not stay in place and move about when he moves. He has never needed any pain relief and is a strong dog and copes very well and isn’t in any pain. Initially our vets said he should be PTS but after seeing him playing very happily, in no pain, and with the strength that he has in his front end, the vet agreed Travis has a great quality of life and deserves a chance to live it to the full!He loves running around the garden and playing, so needs a nice big garden and lots of space. We do need his home to have an understanding vet who is willing to work with us, if necessary, for any decisions on his future treatment and this would be part of our adoption contract. Travis is fabulous with other dogs, especially boy dogs. He loves to play out with the other boys here! Travis can be a bit funny with new people and can be a little barky. It doesn’t take him long to warm up and we think it’s a bit of territory guarding as he is fine when out and about. Travis walks fine on a lead and travels well in the car and has been well behaved at the groomers. Travis is looking for a cat free and child free home (older children only). Travis would be perfectly happy in a home where he never goes for a walk, as long as he has a big garden to run around and people to give him love and attention. He is a very sweet soul. If you this you can offer Travis the extra special home and family he needs, please complete the 'pre-adoption application form' at the top of this page.(Please note a homecheck and adoption donation of £500 applies).
