Are you right for Alphie?Alphie is a handsome seven-year-old Beagle cross looking for a new home through no fault of his own, as his owner now needs to travel abroad regularly for work. In true Beagle style, Alphie loves following his nose and exploring the world around him. He is looking for a calm, consistent home where he can take his time getting to know everyone and build a strong bond at his own pace. He could live with children of upper secondary school age who are confident around dogs and able to respect his space. Any visiting children should also be of a similar age. Alphie will need to be the only pet in the home, as he can be selective around other dogs and has a strong prey drive, so he cannot live with cats or other small animals. He will also need a secure, private garden where he can enjoy sniffing, relaxing in a sunny spot and exploring safely. Alphie is comfortable being left for up to four hours once settled, especially if he has a cosy sofa to stretch out on. He will need to remain on lead during walks due to his prey drive and limited recall, but he will happily make the most of long, interesting sniffing adventures with his new family.Is Alphie right for you?Alphie is a curious, clever boy who loves food, treats and anything involving a good scent trail. He may initially be more interested in investigating his surroundings than seeking attention, but as his confidence grows, his affectionate side begins to shine. During his assessment, he gradually started accepting gentle chest rubs and even offered a paw when he wanted a little more fuss. He is a cuddly boy at home and enjoys relaxing close to the people he trusts, although he appreciates being given space while sleeping. Like many Beagles, Alphie knows exactly what he likes and prefers ceramic food bowls to metal ones. He eats enthusiastically, so currently uses a slow feeder to help him enjoy his meals at a steadier pace. Alphie can sometimes pick up items he should not have and may become worried if someone tries to take them directly from him. His new family will need to continue using positive swaps with high-value treats and manage the home carefully to prevent tempting items being left within reach (socks included!). He enjoys playing ball and tug with his favourite toy pig, although he is best suited to sturdy toys as he may ingest softer ones. New toys should be introduced carefully, as he can initially feel protective of new unfamiliar items. Alphie is looking for patient adopters who will respect his boundaries, continue his training and give him the time he needs to trust. In return, they will gain a loyal, characterful friend who loves sniffy walks, sunny snoozes and curling up near his favourite people.

Are you right for Cali?Cali is looking for an active home that can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and opportunities to continue her training. She loves getting out and about and would thrive with adopters who enjoy long walks and outdoor adventures. A private garden would be beneficial, giving her space to relax and enjoy time with her family. Cali could live with sensible secondary-school-aged children who understand how to interact respectfully with dogs. Homes with dog-savvy primary-school-aged children may also be considered. Due to her strong prey drive, Cali cannot live with cats or other small animals. Potential homes with another dog, or neighbouring dogs, may be considered following successful introductions and guidance from the centre. Although Cali settles well when left, any leaving hours should be kept to a minimum initially and gradually built up as she settles into her new home. She is looking for adopters who can continue her positive, reward-based training and help her be the best version of herself.Is Cali right for you?Cali is an eight-year-old Husky with a wonderfully friendly, affectionate, and relaxed personality. She loves spending time with people and will happily seek out fuss and attention from those around her. During her assessment, Cali was calm, curious, and eager to interact, showing friendly body language throughout and enjoying meeting new people. An active girl at heart, Cali enjoys exercise, exploring new places, and learning new things. She absolutely loves playing with her football and is always happy to earn treats while practising her skills. She travels brilliantly, making her a fantastic companion for adventures both near and far. At home, Cali is housetrained and settles well after a day of activity. Like many Huskies, she comes with plenty of character and even enjoys showing off her famous husky singing voice from time to time! While soft toys don't tend to last very long around Cali, she more than makes up for it with her playful nature and love of spending time with her people. Cali is looking for adopters who can continue building her confidence and helping her enjoy all the adventures life has to offer. She's a clever girl who enjoys learning, loves her treats, and will thrive with a family who can provide plenty of enrichment, exercise, and companionship. In return, you'll gain a loyal, loving companion who enjoys being involved in family life and forming strong bonds with her people.

Are you right for Delores?Delores is a truly special young Rottweiler cross who has completely stolen the hearts of everyone at the centre. She is a sweet, playful and affectionate girl who is looking for a home with adopters who can help her continue building her confidence and learning how to manage all her excitement and zest for life. Delores has very limited hearing, so she may not realise when someone is approaching or about to touch her. Her new family will need to make sure she can see them before handling her and use visual cues to communicate with her (training provided at the centre). This may also mean that new places can feel a little overwhelming at first, but with reassurance, treats and time to explore, she soon starts to relax. She can become very excited when meeting people and may jump up or mouth gently during greetings. Calm introductions, structured play and ongoing positive training will help her learn more appropriate ways to say hello. Delores may be able to live with confident, dog-savvy teenagers as her playful and boisterous nature could be too much for younger children. Delores would love a private, secure garden and a quieter household with limited visitors while she settles in (initially). We are looking to place her in a home with another confident and playful dog that could be her ears. Any time left alone will need to be introduced gradually, as she may initially bark or scratch at the door, although she has already shown that she can begin to settle with patient, gradual practice.Is Delores right for you?Delores is full of personality and has so much love to give. She adores being around people and will happily follow you from room to room before curling up beside you for a snuggle on the sofa. During her time in a foster home, she took her time exploring her new surroundings but quickly began to settle, seek out affection and invite her foster carer to play. She absolutely loves toys and is very good at entertaining herself, although tug of war is one of her favourite games to share with people. Delores can get carried away when she is having fun, so she will benefit from structured play sessions and calm breaks to help her manage her excitement. She is also a big fan of food and treats, which will make positive training especially rewarding. She will sit beautifully for a treat and usually takes them very gently. Delores is curious when out on walks and enjoys taking in everything around her. Because she cannot rely fully on her hearing, she may occasionally jump towards her handler for reassurance when something surprises her. She travels brilliantly and would love to have a home that would take her on adventures as Delores can be a social butterfly. She has shown lovely, playful body language around other dogs and enjoyed walking alongside another dog at the centre. With the right match, she could enjoy having a confident friend to play with and join her on adventures, and be her ears for her. Delores is looking for a patient and understanding family who can see just how wonderful she is beneath all that youthful enthusiasm. In return, they will gain an incredibly affectionate, fun-loving companion who will fill their home with playtime, sofa cuddles and plenty of character.

Are you right for Dublin?Dublin is a playful and affectionate Dutch Shepherd cross Husky who is looking for an adult-only home where he can enjoy being the centre of attention as the only pet. Before coming into our care, Dublin had very limited experience of the wider world and had never been taken for walks, so he is now discovering lots of new things with the help of his foster carer. He is a clever boy who is already making progress and would love patient, confident adopters who enjoy training and helping a dog build their confidence. Dublin can be strong and enthusiastic when he is out exploring, so his new family will need to be comfortable continuing his loose-lead training and supporting him around other dogs. A private, secure garden would be perfect for Dublin, as he loves spending time outside sniffing, sunbathing and investigating all the interesting sounds around him. He can be vocal when people arrive at the home, but with calm introductions and guidance from our training team, his new family can help him feel more relaxed around visitors.Is Dublin right for you?Dublin is a clever, fun-loving boy who forms strong bonds with the people he knows and trusts. Once he feels comfortable, he loves affection and will happily come to you or rest his head on your lap to ask for a fuss. Toys are one of Dublin’s favourite things, especially tennis balls and interactive enrichment toys. He will often bring a toy over, place it on your lap and patiently wait for you to throw it. He enjoys using his brain and would love a home that can keep him busy with training, enrichment and plenty of appropriate activities. Dublin has settled beautifully into foster life. He sleeps peacefully downstairs on the sofa, enjoys exploring the garden and is learning to enjoy short walks during quieter times of the day. He can be wary of having his harness put on, but he is already making progress with patient, positive training. With understanding, routine and continued support, Dublin has the potential to become a wonderfully loyal and entertaining buddy. He has missed out on many everyday experiences so far, but he is keen to learn and will bring plenty of personality, affection and fun to the right home.

Are you right for Freya?Freya and Tilda share a very special bond and are looking for a loving home where they can stay together. We are searching for adopters who are happy to welcome a pair of dogs into their lives and can give them the time, patience, and companionship they deserve. Their ideal home would be a quieter environment where they can settle at their own pace and continue to grow in confidence. They cannot live with any other dogs or animals, so they will need to be the only pets in the home. Freya does have some ongoing medical considerations as she currently has low grade mitral valve disease which we can discuss in more detail with you if we find you to be a match . Freya and Tilda could live with sensible children aged 14 years and over who understand when the girls would like some quiet time. Their new family should also be willing to continue building their confidence through gentle, positive training and encouragement, helping them feel safe and secure as they adjust to their new surroundings. Once they have had time to settle and their leaving routine has been built up gradually, Freya and Tilda should be comfortable being left for around 1–4 hours.Is Freya right for you?Freya is a gorgeous 12-year-old Cockapoo with an enthusiasm for life that certainly doesn't match her age! She's full of energy, loves to play, and can even jump surprisingly high when she's excited to see you. Freya is looking for a forever home with her best friend, Tilda. The pair share a close bond and must be rehomed together, so we're searching for a family who can offer them both the love and companionship they deserve. Currently living in foster care, Freya has settled well into home life. She enjoys spending time out in the garden, where she can explore, sniff around, and soak up the fresh air. Freya would thrive in a home where she can continue to be part of everyday family life. She has so much love to give and, alongside Tilda, will make a wonderful addition to a home that can offer plenty of companionship, affection, and a comfy spot to relax after a busy day.

Are you right for Hugo?Hugo will truly shine in a calm to moderately active home where he can enjoy consistent routines and a peaceful environment. He could live in a household with secondary school children, or adults. Hugo currently lives with older children and interacts with them respectfully. Because he’s a lively, enthusiastic youngster who expresses his excitement through jumping and vocalising, he’s looking for a home without very young children as he can be boisterous when excited. To help Hugo settle comfortably, a home with fewer visitors—especially at first—will support his confidence and prevent him from becoming overly excited. Hugo is a wonderfully friendly and affectionate young dog with a big personality. He’s still learning how to manage all his emotions, particularly when meeting new people, exploring new places, or encountering other dogs. He’s seeking a committed, positive home that enjoys training and is ready to help him continue developing his loose‑lead walking, greeting manners, focus and calmness. Hugo will need to be the only dog in his new home. He has had limited social experiences with other dogs and can become very enthusiastic and frustrated when seeing them up close. With patient guidance and ongoing training, he’ll have the chance to build better dog‑to‑dog skills over time.Is Hugo right for you?Hugo is a wonderful one-year-old Akita–Border Collie cross who is currently in our care through our Homestay scheme. As a young, lively dog, he’s full of enthusiasm for life and is learning new skills every day. With ongoing training, he’s sure to flourish even further. Hugo is a big, affectionate softie who adores people, toys, games and plenty of cuddles. He has a playful, inquisitive nature and loves exploring his surroundings. He’s an eager, social companion who will thrive with calm, consistent guidance and a family who enjoys positive training and staying engaged with him. He is still building confidence with spending time alone, so he’ll need a home where leaving hours are initially very low, alongside a gentle, structured plan to help him develop independence at his own pace. Hugo travels well and settles nicely in the car. While he may start out a little alert, he quickly relaxes and is able to enjoy the journey comfortably.

Are you right for Lucy?Lucy is a sweet but nervous Chihuahua cross Collie looking for a new home through no fault of her own. As an older girl, Lucy is looking for a quiet home where she can take things easy and relax. She could live with secondary school aged children, provided they are happy to give her some space when she needs it. Lucy is going to need a patient family, who are going to give her the time she needs to come out of her shell, we may also ask that potential adopters come to meet her at the centre a few times, just to make sure that she’s comfortable with them before they take her home. Lucy gets on well with some dogs, and will bark at and run away from others, she could potentially live with another calm dog, pending successful meets here at the centre. She does like to chase pigeons and cats though, so couldn’t live with cats or small furries.Is Lucy right for you?Lucy is an affectionate 11 year old girl who is being rehomed through our Homestay scheme. She is fully housetrained and can be left for a few hours without issue, although we would always recommend building this up over time in a new home. While she can travel in the car, it’s not her favourite activity, as she has suffered from some car sickness in the past, so would ideally like a home where lots of driving isn’t essential. Lucy is a dear little soul who just needs a loving home where she can feel safe, could that home be yours?

Are you right for Mario?Mario is a big, beautiful Greyhound looking for a new home through no fault of his own, as his owner is sadly no longer able to care for him due to health reasons. Mario is happiest when he has company and can find being left completely alone difficult. He settles well when another dog is with him, so he will need to live with a suitable canine companion and would thrive in a home where he can enjoy plenty of time with his family. Due to his size, Mario could live with secondary school-aged children who are confident around a large dog. He has a strong prey drive, so he cannot live with cats or other small furry pets and will need to remain on lead when out and about. He would also love a secure, private garden where he can stretch his legs and enjoy a good run.Is Mario right for you?Mario is a very friendly and affectionate boy who loves being around people. He enjoys plenty of fuss, relaxing on the sofa and playing gently with his soft toys. He can also get a little excited when it is time for a walk and may gently nibble at your hand, but this is simply his way of showing his enthusiasm. He is housetrained, travels well in the car and loves heading out to explore. Mario can pull slightly on the lead when something catches his interest, so his new family will need to be comfortable walking a large, strong dog. Mario would be happiest in a calm and loving home with another dog for companionship, plenty of attention and lots of cosy sofa time.
