Amber is a beautiful, devoted girl with all the typical qualities of a guardian breed – loyal, affectionate with her family, and naturally protective of her space.While gentle and chilled-out in the home, Amber can be wary of unfamiliar faces, if she doesn’t immediately recognise someone approaching – especially when she’s being handled by her family – she may growl to communicate her discomfort. This behaviour isn’t unusual for guardian breeds, but it does mean Amber needs adopters who understand and respect the instincts she was bred for. With the right handling and calm, confident leadership, she relaxes beautifully.At home, Amber is wonderfully laid-back – she loves to relax, nap, and enjoy peaceful downtime. She’ll need physically strong adopters simply because of her size and breed type, but beyond that, she asks for very little – kindness, understanding, and a home that appreciates who she is.Amber’s Ideal Home:

Apolo is a charming, cheeky boy with a personality that’s guaranteed to make you smile. Rescued from Romania, this handsome mixed breed has embraced his new chance at life with enthusiasm and affection, quickly showing just how much love he has to give.Full of character, Apolo is a real “cheeky chappy” with a face you simply can’t help but smile back at. He absolutely adores human companionship and will happily follow you around with a constantly wagging tail, just wanting to be close to his people at all times. His loyal and loving nature makes him a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys having a dog by their side throughout the day.Apolo also has a playful side and loves nothing more than running around the yard, burning off energy and enjoying himself. When playtime is over, he’s more than ready to soak up all the affection he can get. He has the sweetest habit of leaning against your legs, making sure he gets every possible ounce of love and attention.We believe Apolo would thrive in a home that can match his affectionate and playful personality, where he’ll be included in daily life and given plenty of opportunities for both fun and cuddles.Apolo’s Ideal Home:

She is a Shepherd/Akita cross and came to us from another independent RSPCA branch. Ava struts around like she owns the place, greets every day with enthusiasm, and is absolutely bursting with character. She's loving, playful, sweet, and loves life, with a sprinkle of aloofness, in true Akita fashion. She can be a little vocal if another dog gets too close for comfort on walks, so she needs a home that's happy to give her space and work on this with her. Other than that, she's an absolute dream to be around.

Bear is a lovely young lad who came to us for rehoming due to being part of an unplanned litter that didn’t find a home, he came in with his Brother, Joey. He’s a mix of breeds… his Mum is a Labrador/Husky mix, and his Dad is a medium sized foreign rescue. He is slightly bigger than Joey.Unfortunately Bear hasn’t ever been walked so hasn’t had any socialisation with dogs, apart from the several dogs in his previous home… he can be vocal when he see’s another dog out on walks, but we feel that this is simply that he doesn’t know how to react. We are confident that with a routine, regular outings and plenty of training he will make a fantastic companion! He’s clever and seems keen to please.Bear is very affectionate with people, he gets very excited – a typical puppy! He loves a cuddle! He has lived with children and could go to a new home with children over 5yrs.Bear is still very much a puppy… and has received very little training. He will be good fun, but will also need a fair amount of work with his training and socialisation. He has always had other dogs for company when left, so time alone would need to be built up gradually.

Beau is a cute and intelligent Jack Russell x Patterdale. He is looking for a calm, adult home with terrier-experienced people who will allow him to settle at his own pace. He would like his people to be around most of the time. Beau loves long walks in the countryside and he isn't keen on noisy, busy streets, so a home in a rural location would suit him well. He is a sensitive little soul but he isn't a lap dog and isn't overly cuddly. Beau will accept affection on his own terms but he doesn't like too much handling as it worries him. Beau needs a home where he is your only dog and he isn't used to living with cats. Beau needs a child-free home. At night he likes to sleep in his own bed downstairs but he likes to have a light left on. Beau will make a loyal little friend to his new people. He forms strong bonds with the people he trusts and watching his confidence grow is incredibly rewarding.

Bill is a very good looking young lad who found himself in the stray dog pound, along with his Brother, Ted. Unfortunately their time to be reclaimed was up, and we received a desperate email stating that they had less than 24hrs to find a rescue to go to. Thankfully we had room and we took in both of the Brothers.He’s an unusual mix of Greyhound and Akita, but he’s a bit smaller than his brother… he’s a lovely dog! Really friendly and happy! He’s good with people and is happy to say ‘hello’ to everybody. He can be a little hand shy (we assume from some rough treatment in the past). As his history is pretty much unknown, we wouldn’t be able to home him with young children.Bill seems to be good with other dogs… he enjoys playing with his brother, however he isn’t always up for Teds rough games! He’s met other dogs here too, without any problems. He may be able to share his home, but this would depend on a dog meeting. He doesn’t appear to have a strong chase drive either.He’s had very little training, but does currently walk quite well on the lead! He would need a home who are willing to put some time and effort into his training and continue his socialisation with other dogs. As his recall isn’t great (and he was a stray!), we would recommend that he is kept on lead for his walks, and any off lead exercise is in a secure field or a secure garden. He likes a run, his favourite thing to do is have a cuddle with lots of kisses!!Although Bill has always lived with Ted, the pound actually separated them in order to try and find them rescue spaces and they’re still living separate with playdates. We would consider a home together, but they are also fine apart too.

Bobbi is a lovely Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed who came to us for rehoming due to her previous owner being unwell. She came to us with her Sister, Lola. Bobbi and Lola do get along well, so we would be open to the idea of them finding a home together.She’s friendly with people and has been around children, she could go to a family home. She is boisterous and does jump up, so any children in the home would need to be familiar with dogs. She’s an affectionate girl who’s been used to lots of company.Sadly Bobbi can be dog reactive when she’s out – she can be quite vocal and this is something that will need work on in the new home. Her reactivity sets Lola off too. She’s not lived with cats.Bobbi is a energetic little dog who loves to run in our exercise fields and play ball! She would benefit from a secure garden to play in! Although she has short legs, she is an agile little soul and can jump high.

Coapy is a handsome fella who originally came to us for rehoming due to a house move. He’s a Border Collie x Munsterlander… meaning he is intelligent, and likes to be kept busy!Prior to coming to us, Coapy wasn’t walked much. This has left him with anxieties about the outside world, and he will react to sounds etc. He gets very stressed and would need a home where he can get plenty of exercise in the garden and mental stimulation to keep him busy… until he feels more comfortable. It was reported that Coapy was reactive to cars when out on walks – whilst we haven’t seen any signs of this whilst he’d been in out care, it is something that his adopters would need to be aware of.Coapy seems to be good with other dogs, and has lived with cats in his previous home.. so may be able to share his home with other pets again. He has lived with children, and could live with children again (8yrs and over).Coapy is incredibly friendly, and affectionate… he loves people and will do anything for a cuddle! He really enjoys spending time with our volunteers, and he’s a firm favourite amongst them! He gets lots of enrichment activities including puzzle feeders, snuffle mats and noise boxes.His previous owner reported that Coapy did have some separation anxiety, so he would be better in a home where he wont be left for long periods… he would need further work to help him to feel comfortable being left alone.We did rehome Coapy, but sadly it didn’t work out for a couple of reasons – mainly his anxiety when out on walks, causing him to be very pully and not focus on anything. But separation anxiety was also a problem too. He did share the home with several cats and another dog that he was fine with.

Coco is a 12-year-old Boxer cross with a whole lot of love to give. She has so much affection to share with the right family, a true companion who thrives on closeness and connection.She’s described as a “gentle giant”, broad, strong, yet as soft-hearted as they come. Coco loves her food and treats, relaxes into snoozes on the sofa, and enjoys being near her people, the perfect mix of laid-back company and affectionate friend.At first she can be a little shy when she’s getting to know you, but once trust is built, she blossoms into a devoted, loyal dog who loves nothing more than spending quality time with her human. Coco already knows lots of basic commands, including sit, and is comfortable being left alone for short periods once she’s settled.For her next chapter, Coco would be happiest as the only dog in the home, with someone experienced who understands her calm personality and can offer her consistent, loving attention. She’d also do best in a home with adults only, where she can relax, feel safe, and be cherished every day.If you’re looking for a warm-hearted, affectionate companion who will share her golden years with love and loyalty, Coco could be the perfect match.Everything you need to know about leaving a gift in your will or donating in memory of a loved one.Making a donation is quick and easy.
