Aria, a Unknown old female Lurcher available for adoption from Lurcher SOS in Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire
SexFemale

BreedLurcher

Aria is a striking, slight-built girl with long legs and beautiful Saluki traits. Her big brown eyes and affectionate nature make a lasting impression on everyone she meets. She’s friendly and enthusiastic, often greeting people and other dogs with excitement and charm.In many ways, Aria is still a puppy. She’s lively, playful and loves her food, so much so that she may help herself if anything tempting is left within reach on kitchen counters. She’s been doing really well with house training in foster and is getting into a good routine, especially heading outside after meals.Out on walks, Aria is alert and engaged with her surroundings, and her prey drive is quite evident. Because of this, she’ll need an understanding home preferable with previous sighthound experience, that can manage this safely and continue her training.While she comes across as confident, Aria does like to know where her people are and doesn’t enjoy being left out. She can show some attachment tendencies, so she would benefit from a home where someone is around for much of the time, at least initially, and is willing to help her build confidence being left gradually.With patience, consistency and plenty of love, Aria has all the makings of a wonderful, vibrant companion. She’s a sweet-natured girl with a lot of potential, just waiting for the right home to help her thrive.

Arnie, a 2 years old female German Shepherd available for adoption from GSD Welfare Fund in Cambridgeshire

Arnie

Cambridgeshire
SexFemale
Age2 years
BreedGerman Shepherd

Arnie came to us at 20 months old and has only been with us a short time. He was relinquished to rescue after being described as reactive to “everything” — dogs, people, children, barking and lunging at them all. He had been crated for long periods and only walked in the early hours of the morning, so he arrived with very limited experiences and almost no socialisation.​When he first meets someone new, he will bark so needs a little time to work out who you are. Once he knows you, he is the sweetest, most affectionate lad. He travels brilliantly in the car, settles on the back seat, and doesn’t react to passing people or dogs. He loves affection and interaction with people he knows.​We’ve been taking him to quiet places for his walks and gradually introducing more sights and sounds at a distance he can cope with. He loves getting out and exploring, and he’s showing us every week that he wants to learn and feel safe.​Arnie is ready to be adopted, but he isn’t a dog for busy streets, narrow streets or crowded parks just yet. If he’s pushed too close to things he finds worrying, he will bark, which we want to avoid. He’s a work in progress — not difficult, not dangerous, just inexperienced and trying his best.​Arnie needs to be the only dog in the house and no cats or small animals as we suspect he would chase.​He needs adopters who are happy to continue slow, steady socialisation: taking him in the car to quiet parks, letting him watch the world from a safe distance, and building his confidence at his pace. In the kennel he settles quietly, shows no destruction, and thrives on predictable routines.​With patient, consistent handling and a calm home, Arnie has every chance of becoming a fantastic companion. He just needs people who are willing to continue the good work that’s already started.Meanwhile we will continue working with him on socialisation, till we find the perfect match.​​​​​ ​​​

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES SOUGHT: Do you know someone who would understand Bailey?Bailey’s holding out for a soulmate who will understand his guarding issues, and with whom he can share a quiet, probably rural life. Born in 2019, sighted, and weighing around 26kg, Bailey is a lovely, friendly, chunky boy, currently in kennels in Cambridgeshire. We will cover the cost of some behavioural support sessions to help Bailey settle into his new home.Bailey is always delighted to see people; he absolutely adores being cuddled. He has the most beautiful colouring and markings on his face, and huge soppy eyes which he uses to look curiously at you while he’s waiting patiently for his evening treat. He also does a little dance when he knows it’s supper time.Bailey’s a confident dog – not scared or nervous at all. He’s energetic at playtime and loves zooming around in the paddock or chasing a ball. He looks so pleased with his tongue lolling out when he’s nice and tired. He’s an obedient dog who walks very well on the lead.Bailey has lived in a home before, both with and without other dogs. He developed guarding behaviours in both environments. He is currently living in kennels where the opportunity for this is reduced but is still in evidence – particularly with high value lasting treats like bones. We are looking for an experienced and understanding owner for Bailey (possibly a single person) who is prepared to work with the likelihood of this arising again. In particular, we would suggest he is not given bones or high value lasting treats.Although Bailey is not dog reactive and happily ignores his kennel neighbours, we expect he would be best suited as an only dog. He could live in a family with children aged 16+.Bailey has been waiting a while for his forever home; he’d make somebody very happy. Can you help us find them?https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4jbnM7CW3FIhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/hLkLvx_-GFshttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/WSgOfYEq_okhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qizcP4STivAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0muLBz1-SHAhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/inoq-sO0ZBYPlease note - we do not rehome dogs to families with children under the age of 10.Type of Home SoughtExperienced home with few visitors, patience, and ideally some outside space for Bailey.

Bailey came into our rescue anxious and very unsure of his surroundings, but with time, patience and understanding we’ve worked to help him gain trust and confidence. He’s made a significant improvement whilst being with us and we now feel that he’s ready to take the next step and find his forever home.He is a highly intelligent boy who needs to be guided in the right direction. He has Collie like traits and will require an experienced home with no children as he can be reactive on walks and tends to guard toys.He is food motivated and will take treats gently, so high quality treats can be used as a positive reinforcement during his ongoing training–we think he could possibly be excellent in agility.

AgeUnknown
BreedGerman Shepherd

Beau is one of our permanent residents; this is due to her suffering with a disease called exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).Her case is extreme so needs medication with every single bit of food she has; even if it's a small treat. We did home her once but sadly her adopters didn’t stick to the guidelines that we provided and poor Beau lost so much weight we had to bring her back.Whilst we will provide life long sanctuary for Beau to ensure she stays happy and healthy, we will consider her for fostering to the right family who are experienced with the disease. We will continue to pay for her medication if you provide the love, the home and the usual vet checks.

If you’re looking for a pair of affectionate best friends to share your life with, these two could be the perfect match.

German Shepherd Dog Welfare Fund was established in 1975 as the UK’s first breed-specific German Shepherd rescue and has since helped rehome nearly 10,000 dogs. The volunteer-led charity rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes vulnerable German Shepherds, including those with behavioural challenges or ongoing medical conditions—often committing to fund lifelong medication where needed. Operating without government funding and relying entirely on donations, the organisation carefully matches each dog to the right home through multiple visits rather than rushed placements. While it does not own its own kennels, it partners with high-standard facilities across Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk to ensure every dog receives excellent care.

Cambridgeshire offers a diverse setting for dog adoption, ranging from historic city living to wide-open fenland and rural communities. Rescue dogs in the county are often matched with adopters based on energy levels and daily routines, particularly where walking space and working hours vary. Many dogs listed in Cambridgeshire may come from foster homes, allowing rescues to better understand how they cope in real-life environments. Whether you’re based in Cambridge or a surrounding village, adopting locally helps support responsible rehoming across the county.
