Are you right for Amber?Are you looking for a fun, affectionate and clever companion? Then meet Amber! She’s looking for adopters who are able to provide plenty of company at home and happy to go on adventures in peaceful areas. House training should only need a refresher, but some support will be needed for introducing alone time. Amber is looking to be the only dog in the home and can live with older teens. The home should have a garden (ideally with no neighbouring dogs) where Amber can enjoy outdoor playtimes and lounging in the sun.

Are you right for Arthur?Arthur is ready to find his forever home! This lovely boy absolutely adores company and is in his element when sprawled out on the sofa enjoying a snooze with his favourite people nearby. He’s equally happy to head out on walking adventures, as he loves being out and about exploring. You really get the best of both worlds with this stunning chap! Arthur does have a sensitive side and would benefit from continued support with confidence building, particularly around other dogs. He would be best suited to a home with teenagers and no other pets. Access to a secure outdoor space for the zoomies would also be a big plus. Arthur has previously been housetrained, although he may need a little refresher while settling into his new home.

Austin is a beautiful two-year-old Lurcher with a gentle soul and so much love to give. He’s a sweet, affectionate boy who may be a little timid when he first meets new people, but it quickly becomes clear that he truly wants to be loved and part of someone’s life.On walks, Austin is a pleasure to have by your side and generally walks nicely on the lead. However, he can be a little sensitive to sudden or unexpected noises, which can startle him. With a calm, patient owner to reassure him, he continues to gain confidence and enjoy his outings.Austin can also be a little unsure around other dogs and strangers at the moment. He tends to prefer keeping his distance and quietly watching them pass by rather than interacting. Because of this, he’ll need a patient and understanding owner who is willing to give him the time and space he needs to build trust and develop his confidence at his own pace.Due to his gentle and slightly timid nature, we believe Austin would thrive best in a calm, adult-only home. Dog-savvy teenage children may be considered following a successful introduction. Ideally, Austin would also be the only dog in the home while he continues to grow in confidence and settle into family life.With love, patience, and kindness, Austin has the potential to blossom into an incredibly loyal and devoted companion. Once he feels safe and secure, his affectionate personality really shines through. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving dog who just needs a little time and understanding to truly flourish, Austin could be the perfect addition to your home

Are you right for Barley?Barley is a lovely, clever boy looking for patient owners who will help him build confidence and settle into home life. He can be a little anxious at times, so he’d love a calm, adult-only home where things are fairly predictable.He enjoys training and having something to do, so he’d suit people who are happy to spend time building a bond with him. Barley can be a bit cheeky and may try to steal the odd item, but he’s a smart lad who already knows a “drop” and is keen to learn more.Barley will need to be on lead and muzzled around people and dogs in public, and would benefit from some positive training around handling, especially for vet visits. A quieter home with secure spaces for off-lead exercise would suit him best.
