About South East Dog Rescue

South East Dog Rescue is a volunteer-run, no-kill dog rescue and rehoming centre founded in 2009 and based in Dartford, Kent. The charity rescues dogs across the UK, with a strong focus on saving dogs at risk of euthanasia in council pounds, as well as supporting owners who can no longer care for their pets. Known for helping some of the most vulnerable welfare cases, South East Dog Rescue provides rehabilitation, veterinary care, and, where needed, lifelong sanctuary for dogs unable to cope in traditional home environments. All dogs are neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption, and the charity offers lifetime rescue backup, relying entirely on public donations to continue its work.

Hello everyone! My name is Peggy, and I’m an 11-year-old petite Staffy weighing just 13kg.I’m looking for a very special experienced forever home where I can enjoy life at my own pace. Although I’m now a senior lady, I still love my walks, enjoy travelling in the car and have plenty of life and love left to give.People are my favourite thing, and I adore cuddles and being close to my humans. I’m housetrained, non-destructive in the home and happy to be left for a few hours. I also love spending time relaxing in the garden, so a secure garden is essential for me.I’m looking for a calm, adult-only home with very few visitors, where life is peaceful and predictable. Busy households and lots of activity can overwhelm me, and when I become stressed or over-stimulated I can react by nipping. Because of this, I need experienced owners who understand my need for space, routine and careful management, and who can help me feel safe and secure.I’m not good with other dogs and need to be the only pet in the home, with no visiting dogs. I also cannot live with cats or small furries.I have some weakness in one of my front legs, which may improve with building muscle, although I may need anti-inflammatory medication as I get older. I’m already taking Yumove supplements to help keep me comfortable.Despite my quirks, I have the sweetest nature and so much love to give to the right person. All I really want is a quiet home, a comfy bed, a secure garden and someone who understands me. In return, I promise loyal companionship, plenty of Staffy smiles and endless snuggles.If you think you could offer me the peaceful home I deserve, please complete an application form using the link below.Lots of love and Staffy smiles,

Meet Simba – An 8-Year-Old Pomeranian x Husky Looking for His Forever Home ️Meet our handsome boy, Simba, an 8-year-old Pomeranian x Husky weighing 15.5kg. Simba is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, and after an incredibly sad change in circumstances, he’s once again searching for a loving forever home.Simba is a wonderfully friendly, affectionate boy who genuinely enjoys being around people. He loves being included in everyday life and was a familiar face in his previous village, regularly accompanying his owner to the local pub where everyone knew and adored him. He’s a sociable little character who enjoys company and will happily join you on your daily adventures.Simba is fully house trained, keeps his kennel beautifully clean and has lovely manners around the home.Simba was born with a weakness affecting his back legs. Investigations, including X-rays and neurological assessments, have never identified a specific cause. Occasionally, particularly first thing in the morning, his back legs can be weak and splay beneath him before he gets moving. Once he’s up and about, he settles well and enjoys his walks. Since returning to us, Simba has lost around 5kg after becoming overweight, and this has made a noticeable difference to both his mobility and overall comfort.While he doesn’t need long, strenuous hikes, regular gentle exercise is important to help keep him fit, mobile and strong.One thing Simba absolutely adores is water! Thanks to a visit to Kent Canine Swim, we’ve discovered he loves swimming. Whether it’s a paddling pool, a bucket of water or, even better, a swimming pool, Simba is in his element. We’d love his new family to continue hydrotherapy or regular swimming sessions where possible, as they’re a fantastic way of helping maintain his mobility while allowing him to do something he genuinely enjoys.Simba would love a home with older, sensible children (teenagers and above). Although he can be friendly with some dogs, he can be selective and prefers choosing his own canine friends, so we’re looking for a home where he can be the only pet. He cannot live with cats.We think Simba would make a wonderful companion for an active retired couple or someone who enjoys having a loyal friend by their side. He’ll happily accompany you on outings, enjoy a gentle walk, then settle down for a cosy evening together.After losing the person he loved, Simba deserves another chance to find a family who will cherish him just as much.

He cannot live with children. He is also unable to live with cats.He will do well in a quiet, structured home without lots of visitorsWhen he first arrived, he was very frightened of people, and while he has come a long way, he can still be a little cautious when meeting new faces.

Once he bonds, he bonds firmly without exception....but this takes time. He needs people who understand he has been traumatised in situations before coming into rescue, and he needs patience. Once you gain his love, you will have a best friend for life.Trevor was initially unable to cope with being groomed / shaved but his foster parents have worked incredibly hard on this and he now allows those he trusts to groom and clip him.Trevor does not like the vets! But his foster parents have worked hard with muzzle training which will be needed at vet appointments.Trevor is a dog who needs understanding and compassion...and in return he will become your absolute best friend and lap warmer!Trevor is being fostered in EssexIf you could offer Trevor a place in your heart and your home, and you have truly digested all of the above information and are committed to being his safe space...then please use the link below to complete an application form
