SexFemale
Age3 years
BreedGreyhound

Aspall is a beautiful ex-racing greyhound with a heart of gold who is looking for a home with owners who can give her the love and attention she has never had before. She has always been kept in a kennel and has never had a place to call home or a comfy sofa to lie on, so we would love to find her an owner who could provide this for her.She is affectionate and enjoys the company of people and it would be really great to find her a loving forever home as soon possible. She could also potentially live with children of 12+ years after suitable meets at the Centre.Aspall loves going out with her Sighthound friends and having zoomies in the secure paddocks. She does walk nicely on the lead, but will need to wear a muzzle in public places due to being an ex-racer. She could potentially live with another dog of similar breed and/or size pending successful meets at the Centre, but she is not suitable to be homed with small dogs or cats.Weight: 22kg approxCan you offer Aspall a fresh start in life and a home she has never had before?

Meet Linguini and Fettuccine!These gentle girls are the very best of friends and are looking for a forever home together. Found straying side by side, they have been inseparable ever since arriving with us, and we simply couldn’t imagine them apart.Linguini is the smaller of the two and can be a little more nervous when faced with new situations. Thankfully, she takes a huge amount of comfort and confidence from Fettuccine, who helps her navigate the world with reassurance and support. Because of their close bond, we are determined to find them a home where they can continue their journey together.Both girls walk beautifully on the lead, making outings together a pleasure rather than a challenge. They are calm, well-mannered companions who enjoy exploring at their own pace and spending time with the people they love.Linguini and Fettuccine have also spent time with children during our activity days and have been lovely with them, so they could live with sensible, dog-savvy children aged 8 years and over. They cannot live with cats.If you have room in your home and heart for this sweet-natured duo, we’d love to hear from you. Giving these girls the chance to stay together would mean the world to them.

Malteser is a kind, gentle girl who is slowly finding her feet after leaving the puppy farm environment behind. Life is still quite new to her, but she’s beginning to take small steps forward as she learns to feel safe.While she can be nervous at times, Malteser is slowly starting to show a softer, more inquisitive side. She will often watch from a distance before deciding to investigate, and it’s lovely to see her quietly building confidence in her own time.She gains a lot of comfort from other dogs and will need to live with a calm, steady canine companion. Having another dog in the home will be a huge support to her, helping her to understand day to day life and encouraging her to be a little braver.Malteser will need guidance with all aspects of home life, including house training and getting used to walking on a lead. She’s looking for a patient and understanding owner who is happy to take things slowly and allow her to progress at her own pace.A quieter home environment would suit her best, ideally without young children, where she can continue to grow in confidence without too much pressure.She would benefit from an experienced owner, particularly someone familiar with nervous or puppy farm dogs, and with an understanding of spaniel traits. As she becomes more settled, these traits are likely to start shining through, and she will need support to channel them positively.Malteser has already started her journey, she just needs the right home to help her continue it. Could that be with you?

BreedCaucasian Shepherd x Newfoundland

Meet Penne!This special girl has had a difficult few weeks, but after receiving some much-needed medical care and undergoing a rather dramatic (but absolutely necessary!) haircut, she’s ready to find her forever home.Penne is a gentle giant with a huge heart and so much love to give. Since arriving with us, she has shown herself to be neutral around small to medium-sized dogs, while larger dogs can make her feel a little uneasy, so she tends to give them a wide berth. Because she absolutely adores human attention and enjoys being the centre of someone’s world, we feel she’d be happiest as the only dog in the home. She is not suitable to live with cats.Due to severe matting, Penne had to be clipped right back, but her beautiful coat will grow back in no time. In the meantime, we think she looks absolutely adorable!Penne is a lovely, affectionate girl who enjoys comfort, company, and plenty of fuss. If you have a spacious sofa and room in your heart for this wonderful girl, we’d love to hear from you. Be warned though – once you meet Penne, you’ll find it very hard not to fall in love.

New people, environments, and experiences can be very scary for her, so she will need a patient owner who is happy to go at her pace and allow her the time she needs to build trust.She takes a lot of comfort from other dogs and will rely on them for reassurance, so she will need a confident and friendly canine companion already in the home to help guide her and show her that the world isn’t such a frightening place.

He is a strong dog who would benefit from basic obedience training, lead work in particular, so will need an owner who has the time to provide this for him.He is very dog social, so could live with another lively dog already in the home, but he could also be the only dog as long as his owners have the time to spend with him.Ravioli was brought into us as a stray so we have no background information about his past life, so he will need an understanding owner who is home most of the time in order to help him settle into his new home and gradually build up the time he is left on his own.Weight: 28kgCan you give this special boy a new start in life?

Stormzy is a very handsome intelligent, affectionate dog who is looking for a new home with an experienced owner who is used to larger excitable breeds. He is a fun-loving, loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger bounce!He lives for his toys, loves affection, and will keep you entertained with his goofy antics and clever ways. He’s one of those dogs who seems to always be smiling – and his joy is infectious. He walks well on the lead, and would make a great companion for nice strolls around the countryside!Stormzy is looking for an owner who is used to larger breeds and with someone who has experience of training. He has missed out on some early-life experiences, so he can be a little unsure around new situations, so will need someone who is patient and to help him build trust.We really do believe that Stormzy will become the most loyal companion who adores his new family. He is an affectionate dog who’ll never let you feel lonely – he just wants is to play and have a fuss made of him!We’re still assessing him with other dogs, but so far interactions have been boisterous but positive, so we believe that he could share his new home with another dog who will accommodate his lively nature. We’re unsure of how Stormzy would feel about cats so ideally he’d go to a cat-free home.Stormzy is super sweet and he’s already showing his trainability as he’s slowly mastering ‘Sit’ and ‘Lay-Down’. As he’s quite a big boy he would be suited to a home with children 16+.Weight: 35kgCan you give Stormzy his second chance in life?

Meet Teddy!Handsome Teddy came into our care through no fault of his own and is now looking for a loving, breed-experienced home. Although kennel life isn’t his favourite, he has settled in well and continues to show what a lovely lad he is.Teddy is sociable with other dogs and walks beautifully on the lead, remaining calm and well-mannered when passing dogs out and about. However, he cannot live with cats or small furry animals.We’re looking for a home where someone is around for much of the day to continue his training, socialisation, and help him settle into family life. Teddy is a large, strong boy, so we feel he would be best suited to an adult-only home, although sensible teenagers aged 16 and over may be considered depending on the individual household.If you’re looking for a loyal companion and have experience with the breed, Teddy could be the perfect match for you.
