BreedChihuahua

Meet Bambi, affectionately known as Little Poe!Poe is a 4-year, 10-month-old Chihuahua cross with a huge personality packed into a small frame. This affectionate little guy loves spending time with people and enjoys getting out and about to explore the world around him.When Poe first came into our care, he was very nervous and unsure of his new surroundings. Since then, he has made incredible progress and has really come out of his shell. He now happily seeks out affection, enjoys spending time with the staff, and is always pleased to see familiar faces.Poe can be a little vocal around other dogs, so we feel he would be best suited as the only dog in the home for now while he continues to build his confidence. With ongoing positive experiences and support, we believe he will continue to flourish.Poe could potentially live with sensible, dog-savvy children following successful introductions.If you’re looking for a loving companion with plenty of character and a heart full of affection, Little Poe could be the perfect addition to your family.

Bertie

County Durham
SexMale
Age2 years
BreedUnknown

* Special Home Needed *Bertie was born with what is commonly called ‘Wobbly Cat Syndrome ‘ . Wobbly Cat Syndrome affects cats coordination and balance. It is not painful or contagious and affected cats live normal lives with possibly a few modifications if needed. Bertie doesn’t know he has this syndrome, as far as he’s concerned he’s a cat and can do cat things.His behaviour is your normal young cat, he likes to play, he likes to eat and he likes to sit on your knee. We are looking for a quiet home with a regular routine. He could possibly live with another quiet cat but would not be happy with a dog or young children. Bertie is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you are interested in more information about Bertie please complete our registration form and if we think you are a good match for each other our rehoming volunteer will be in touch with you

Bonnie

BreedStaffordshire Bull Terrier

Meet Bonnie – A Fun-Loving Staffie with a Heart Full of LoveBonnie is a beautiful 3-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier with a personality every bit as big as her gorgeous smile! Full of character, affection and enthusiasm for life, Bonnie is guaranteed to bring plenty of fun and laughter to her forever home.Bonnie is a very loving and affectionate girl who adores spending time with people. She thrives on attention and enjoys being involved in whatever her favourite humans are doing. Her happy, playful nature makes her a wonderful companion, but she is also a lively young dog with lots of energy to burn.Because of this, Bonnie is looking for an active household where exercise, training and enrichment will be an important part of her daily routine. She is eager to learn and has so much potential, but we don’t believe she has had much training in the past. She will therefore need owners who are committed to helping her develop her skills, continue her education and bring out the very best in her.When Bonnie gets excited, her enthusiasm can sometimes get the better of her and she can become a little boisterous. For this reason, we feel she would be best suited to an adult-only home, or one with older teenagers aged 16 and above, who can manage her exuberant personality and help her channel her energy appropriately.For the same reason, Bonnie would also prefer to be the only dog in the home, allowing her to enjoy all the love, attention and guidance from her family while she settles into her new life.With the right home, Bonnie will make an incredibly rewarding companion. She is a fun, affectionate and loyal girl who is ready to find a family willing to invest in her and help her reach her full potential.If you’re looking for an energetic best friend with a huge heart and an even bigger smile, Bonnie could be the perfect match for you.

Durham Retired Greyhounds

Charity No.1178882
Dogs Available20

Durham District Retired Greyhounds is a registered charity dedicated to finding loving forever homes for retired racing greyhounds from tracks across the North East. The charity works to showcase what wonderful companions greyhounds make—gentle, friendly, and loyal dogs that quickly adapt to family life and are just as happy relaxing at home as they are enjoying short daily walks. Most greyhounds retire from racing between three and five years old, meaning they still have many happy years ahead of them as pets. At any one time, around 30 greyhounds of varying ages and temperaments are available for adoption, giving prospective owners plenty of choice. Visitors are welcome to view the dogs and ask questions, with kennel visits available by appointment and no obligation to adopt.

Registered since 2009 and governed by three trustees, the rescue has helped thousands of dogs begin a new chapter in life.

More Information

County Durham offers a mix of historic towns, villages and open countryside, making it well suited to a wide range of rescue dogs. Dogs adopted in the county are often matched carefully to suit family homes, quieter lifestyles, or more active adopters who enjoy regular outdoor exercise. Many rescues in and around County Durham focus on long-term placements, ensuring dogs are settled and supported before rehoming. Local adoption plays an important role in giving dogs stability close to where they are rescued.
