Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Tan and White 3 Years (approx) Ref: DC002 Apply now Bailey is a young boy bursting with energy and enthusiasm for life. He’s looking for an active home that can keep up with him both physically and mentally, someone who’s ready for adventures, training and plenty of fun along the way. He’s a very intelligent lad who absolutely loves his food, which makes training both enjoyable and rewarding for him. Bailey thrives when he has challenges to focus on and will benefit from ongoing guidance and support from our Training Leads and Behaviourist as he settles into a new home. Bailey can struggle around other dogs and will need to be muzzled when out in public to help keep him and others safe. For this reason, he’s looking to be the only animal in the home so he can receive the one to one attention he truly needs and deserves. He’ll also need an adult only home, as he can be boisterous at times and forget just how strong he is. Despite this, Bailey absolutely loves people. He’s always happy to say hello when out and about and adores a good cuddle. With patience, understanding and the right guidance, Bailey has so much potential and will be an incredibly loyal, loving companion. If you’re experienced, active and ready to invest time into helping a clever young dog navigate the big wide world, Bailey could be your perfect match. I know how to sit (and lots of other commands too!) I could live with children of secondary school age I can be left alone for short periods I'd prefer to be the only dog in a home I'd prefer not to live with a cat I'm always on the go I love food and treats DOG Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Tan and White 3 Years (approx) Ref: DC002

“They are in kennels atm and police have had a verbal disclaimer.They are 2 females one is nearly 1 and the other is nearly 2. Could be mother and daughter or siblings. Police have no other info.Very sweet girls. On a 7 dayer atm.”So Bambi and Bonnie came from the Police DLO in Cornwall.Both girls have super friendly temperaments and get along together so well. However we are walking them separately as well as together so Bonnie learns to be confident away from her mum.No young children as we do not know their history but these girls would fit happily in a breed experienced home with little fuss.

Collie (Smooth coat) crossbreed Black 3 Years (approx) Ref: DT011 Meet Benji, a bright, energetic young dog looking for the right home to help him truly thrive. Benji is full of life and enthusiasm and loves to be on the go, so he is searching for an active home that can provide plenty of exercise as well as mental stimulation to keep his clever mind busy. He absolutely loves treats, which makes him a great candidate for positive, rewardbased training. He already knows how to sit and some other commands, and he will enjoy continuing to learn with the right guidance. He would really benefit from an owner who has experience with similar breeds, or someone confident and committed to continuing his training journey. While out and about, Benji can feel unsure around other dogs. With the right guidance, patience, and ongoing training, he has great potential to build his confidence in these situations. He will need someone who can calmly support him and help him learn that the world is not such a worrying place. Due to his high prey drive, Benji is not suited to a home with cats or small animals. Benji is looking for an adultonly home, or one with secondary schoolaged children who can understand and respect his needs and boundaries. As he settles into a new environment, Benji may need a little time and patience to adjust. He is still a young boy at heart and can sometimes forget his size and strength when he gets excited. With positive guidance, he will benefit from learning how to channel his energy into appropriate toys and games. Benji will also need continued muzzle training at home to help him feel safe and secure. Full support and guidance will be provided for this. With the right person by his side, Benji has so much potential to grow into a loyal, fun, and rewarding companion. I know how to sit (and lots of other commands too!)

Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Black and Tan 612 Months Ref: DC072 Apply now Bonnie is a truly special girl who is ready to find a loving, understanding home of her own.She may be a little shy when meeting new people or facing unfamiliar situations, but with patience, kindness, and a few tasty treats (cheese is a firm favourite!), Bonnie quickly begins to blossom. Once you've earned her trust, you'll discover an incredibly affectionate companion who adores cuddles and will happily stay by your side for as long as you'll let her.Bonnie gains confidence from the company of other dogs and could thrive in a home with a calm, gentle canine friend who can help show her the ropes. She would also be best suited to a household with older children who can understand when she needs a little space and reassurance.She has plenty of energy and enjoys both physical exercise and mental enrichment, so she'll love an active home where she can have fun, learn new things, and continue building her confidence. Like many sensitive dogs, Bonnie may need a little time to settle into a new environment, but with understanding, consistency, and lots of love, she will reward you with unwavering loyalty and affection.Bonnie is an allround wonderful dog with so much love to give. She simply needs someone willing to give her the chance she deserves, and in return, she'll become the most devoted and loving companion I need training how to sit nicely (and then I can master the rest) I could live with children of secondary school age I need teaching that it's ok to be alone I may be able to live with another dog I'd prefer not to live with a cat I'm quiet but full of love I love fuss and attention DOG Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Black and Tan 612 Months Ref: DC072

Samoyed White 2 Years (approx) Ref: DC088 Apply now Meet Bow, a vibrant and lovable 2yearold Samoyed, described by the kennel team as a “snuggle bug with zoomies” and a “goofy but golden” companion. Full of personality, he’s looking for a home with someone who understands his breed and energy. Bow is a very social boy who loves to say hello to everyone he meets. Like many Samoyeds, he can be quite vocal and enjoys “chatting” to people and other dogs. He is friendly on walks, though he can get a little overexcited during play, so will need continued guidance. If living with another dog, they would need to match his playful energy. He could live with older, dogsavvy children, but due to his strong chase instinct, he cannot live with cats or small animals. Bow is highly foodmotivated and enjoys training, already showing how quickly he can learn. He is looking for an active home where he can enjoy plenty of exercise, adventures, and splashing in puddles, which he loves. Bow will make a fun and affectionate companion for the right home.

“Bruno has come on such a long way he loves his walks and a game of football or playing with the hose. Bruno can be nervous meeting new people but if your calm and have cheese he will be leaning in for a head stroke.Bruno does have food aggression over his bowls and treats but only when food is in the bowl but when the bowl is empty his fine for you to pick it up. Bruno would probably benefit in a home with a older female dog.”What can I say about this young man. Born 15.8.18, Bruno is a full GSD we are told! He is microchipped and vaccinated and he is now neutered.The kennels were called asking if they would take him in as he was biting. Of course we said yes, and he arrived at the kennels quite stressed and snappy. Given a chance to settle, he started to trust the staff at the kennels and slowly learnt to trust a wider circle. Basically this poor young man had nervous aggression.Bruno has come on leaps and bounds however and is a lot more confident within himself but still takes time to adjust to new people. No young children for obvious reasons, and working on socialising him slowly with other dogs.This lad will need an experienced home that has dealt with this issue before, and with calmness and normality, he should flourish to be the lovely young man that is hiding inside.Bruno was adopted but sadly has come back to us after 18 months as he feels he is just too much due to his protective nature. His adopter has done a lot of work with Bruno and this is what he says about him:“Guards food a little, especially high value treats. Is much better once he knows and trusts you, but still guards a bit.Great with routine. Very active. Loves to play with balls over most toys. Loves a game of tug of war, but gets a bit over excited sometimes.Brilliant recall now, great off the lead (in quiet places of course). Loves rivers etc. Has a huge thing for big branches – both loose and attached to trees still.Chases squirrels, rabbits etc. Very good around deer now and will not chase them if told no.Started to enjoy some agility – especially climbing. Can get a bit frustrated when learning to climb things etc – watch out as he can mouth and nip a little in frustration sometimes.Generally very responsive to a No command in all situations.I’ve had a dog walker 2 days a week for a year now. He’s great with her letting herself in, and walks very well with her.Sits, lays, paw, kiss for treats (kisses can be a bit teethy sometimes – be warned!)Very well behaved indoors – doesn’t chew anything, no toilet issues (he’s like a camel tbh)Bruno is all about his personal space, doesn’t really snuggle. Loves to lay on the bed but bolts if you get on it. Be wary about him laying with his back to you – if you then fuss him he can get a bit snarley. If he is tired or grumpy he is also quite quick to get snarley.”Things like towel drying after a walk need to be done carefully and with rewards – watch out around his feet – he really doesn’t like that (anything to do with his feet is typically not welcomed).Muzzle him for flea, ear drops etc – that will be a battle.Overall a great, active dog who likes his space.”Do you have the experience for Bruno please who would obviously do well with a ‘job’ to keep him busy.

Well what can I say about this poor young lad!Bruno was born May 2021. He is microchipped but that’s it.We were asked by the RSPCA if we could take him on after he had been signed over by his owners who we were told were crack heads!Bruno had never been outside since a puppy so is terrified of everything and everyone. Now safely in our kennels in Cornwall, it is going to be a long and slow road for this poor lad to learn to trust and learn how to be a normal dog enjoying life but we are seeing improvements all the time.Bruno is now fully vaccinated and neutered and is accepting of so many more people and has really started to find his confidence.A very special home needed please.

Bruno is a 7 year old crossbreedNo children or other pets in the home please.This boy is looking for a forever home through no fault of his own.Bruno can be a little nervous at times when people raise their voices, so would like a quiet, relaxed home.Sadly he is not a fan of other dogs when out and about on his lead.He can be strong on the lead when first going out but soon relaxes and settles down to walk nicely.In the home Bruno is a loving loyal dog.All this boy needs is someone that's home most of the time so he won't be left often and willing to give him the chilled out home he needs to relax again.Please note this dog has not been assessed by LCH and due to lack of foster space remains with owner until a home is secured.
