I will be ready for homing once I have been signed off by the vet (I need to be neutered and have a dental).Sweet Baby has just arrived into our care, and we are looking forward to getting to know her. As Baby progresses through her assessment, we will understand what type of home she needs. We may already have a suitable home offer for Baby on our waiting list. However, if we don’t hear from any of our current home offers, we will then make Baby available, provide more details, and accept new home offers for her. At that point, the option to apply to home this lovely dog will appear. Watch this space!

Are you right for Bam?Bam is a handsome two-year-old Lab cross Poodle looking for a loving home. He could share his home with teenage children 16yrs plus, is looking to be the only dog in the home and will need a home without cats or small furries. Care may be needed around livestock. Bam is housetrained. He travels well in the car for short journeys. He is happy to be left alone in the home for a few hours at a time if this is built up gradually. He could cope with a reasonably busy household, although he is likely to be shy around new visitors until he gets to know them. Bam will need access to walkies in quieter locations with limited dog populations.Is Bam right for you?Once Bam is familiar with people he adores snuggles and being close. Initially he is shy around new people; he finds it easier to make friends if there are nice treats on offer or if you’re up for a game of fetch. Bam loves to chase after balls, tuggy games and squeaky toys. He is a bright spark who picks up training quickly. He already knows a sit, paw, and wait. His favourite treats include cheese, chicken, and broccoli. Bam enjoys his walks in quieter locations so he can relax, low dog populated areas are key to success as he makes it clear that he is worried by other dogs coming too close. Bam would benefit from adopters who can help him build confidence around other dogs working at a distance where he is comfortable. (We can help and support adopters with this.) Bam in the home environment is settled and chilled. He likes to potter around his garden, he is not a fan of the hoover, he dislikes loud environments, and he takes himself off to bed when he’s ready.

Introducing our brilliant Basil the 4 year old Lurcher, who arrived with us as a stray. This poor boy unfortunately is now looking for a new place to call home.We have enjoyed getting to know dear Basil, and we have found him to love being around his carers, so we feel he would be happiest having someone in the home a good part of the day. Basil is a playful chap and likes to play with his toys, but is equally happy having a nice cuddle.Basil has a big heart and is eagerly awaiting his new family, so that he can show them just how amazing he is. Basil would love nothing more than to have a comfy sofa so that he can stretch out on.It would be beneficial for Basil to attend training classes with his new owners, and to also have regular canine pals to walk with to continue his social skills.Basil will be looking to be the only pet in the home, but we feel he could possibly live with teenagers. Basil really does have a lot to give back to his new family and he has seen many of his canine friends go on to find loving new homes, so we can't wait to find this boy his happy ever after after being with us for over a year and we just can't understand why.

Hi there! My name is Bella, and I’m a happy, wiggly, energetic girl who is just waiting to find my new best friend. If you’re looking for a shadow who loves fuss and attention as much as I do, we’re going to get along famously! I’m here because, very sadly, my owner passed away and the immediate family were unable to care for me.I’m what you might call a ‘people person.’ I absolutely adore meeting new friends, though I’ll admit I sometimes get so excited that I can’t help but jump up to say hello! My absolute favourite thing in the world is a good bum scratch. I’ll even put my shoulders down and my bum way up in the air to help you reach the right spot. Just a warning: if you stop before I’m finished, I’ll let out a little vocal ‘hey!’ to remind you that I’m still here for more cuddles.When it comes to other dogs, I can be a bit of a ‘big talker.’ If I see a dog behind a fence or while I’m out on my lead, my hackles might go up and I might bark a bit—but don’t worry, I’m not being mean! I’m just feeling a lot of big emotions. Once I actually get to say hello, I settle right down and walk very nicely with my canine companions. I’ve socialised off lead in secure paddocks here, I’m actually quite an independent lady; I’m happy to let other dogs do their own thing while I focus on the important stuff, like sniffing every blade of grass and having a good roll in the dirt! At home I’d prefer to be the centre of attention, which is why I’d like to be the only dog.I’m a ‘busy bee’ by nature, so I’m looking for a home where we can stay active together. I love my toys—especially the soft ones—and I’m always up for a gentle game of tug or fetch. I’m a clever girl, too; I already know how to ‘sit,’ and I was a total star during my assessment, even when sharing my food and treats.My new home will need a secure garden where I can zoom around, and a family who has plenty of time for enrichment and play. If you have a spot on your sofa (and some spare time for bum scratches), I’d love to meet you!

Are you right for Bruno?Bruno is a handsome three-year-old Pocket Bully looking for a loving home. He could share him home with teenage children. He could potentially live with another dog in the home and has no history with cats, small furries, or livestock. Bruno would benefit from having doggy pals to join on walks when out and about. Instantly friendly with new people, he is fine with visitors to the home. He has history of being okay left alone at home for a few hours at a time if this is built up gradually. He is housetrained. He is a little unsettled during car journeys. He could cope with a reasonably busy home environment. Out and about he can be nervous of big, heavy, loud vehicles passing.Is Bruno right for you?Bruno is a big goofball and affectionate and loving. He adores a snuggle and being made a fuss of. He enjoys playing with squeaky toys and likes a game of ball. He loves treats and he knows a sit and paw.

Bruno likes a comfy bed to snooze on.

Apply to rehome me Buddy Bichon Frise / White Male 4 years, 0 months My reference is [DO23557-Dog] About me Woof Woof!! My name is Buddy, I am a 3 year old Bichon Frise. Sadly I have very limited sight which does not hold me back too much but I can get a little spooked if people or other dogs approach me too quickly. Apart from this I love my walks, cuddles and a good play. I would like to be the only pet in the home but I can have doggie friends out and about as long as they do not rush at me as that can scare me. I have been in rescue for quite a long time now as I will need to go to an experienced adult only home, I struggle to give up items that I find and I do not like sharing food. I would also need someone to be at home with me for most of the time because I get upset when left alone. It will take me time to settle into a new home but I will be worth it if you give me a chance. I am a sweet little boy who needs time to adjust and build trust with my new humans. Could you offer me the new home that I crave and need? Back to Dogs Looking for HomesAbout me Woof Woof!! My name is Buddy, I am a 3 year old Bichon Frise.

Hi, I’m Captain Crumplefur… although I should warn you, that’s just the beginning. Around here I’ve already collected quite the collection of nicknames… Cap, Crump, Crumpie, even Crumplestiltskin if you’re feeling fancy. I’m clearly a very important gentleman to deserve so many titles.I’m a 10 year old Shih Tzu with a playful spirit and a lot of personality packed into a small, slightly crumpled package. I love people and I really enjoy a good fuss, but I do like things on my own terms. When I’m in the mood to play, I really go for it. Expect bouncing, zooming and a bit of gentle mouthing as part of the fun… it’s all part of my charm.I do very much enjoy my walks and like getting out and about to explore interesting new places. I’m very polite when meeting other dogs. I can be quite playful with them too, which keeps life interesting. I’m a clever boy too. I can sit, give both paws and lie down when asked, especially if there’s something tasty involved. Speaking of food, I’m polite with my meals, though I might hang on a little tighter to my very favourite treats. I’ve actually lived with 3 cats in my previous home, so I would be happy to consider sharing my home with a feline companion in the future. We would need to meet at a home check, just to make sure we can become friends.Now, I’ll be honest with you… I do have my boundaries. I’m not a fan of too much hands-on fuss when it comes to things like grooming or being checked over, and I’ve been known to tell people when I’ve had enough. I need someone who understands dogs like me and will take the time to work with me, not rush me. With the right person who has experience with owning dogs with handling sensitivities in the past, I know I can feel much more comfortable.Due to my behaviour around handling, and the fact that I am absolutely not prepared to share my favourite toys while I am playing with them, I’m looking for an adult-only home with someone experienced, patient and willing to understand me for who I am. In return, you’ll get a funny, affectionate, slightly cheeky companion who will keep you smiling every single day. I’ll need to stay on the lead in public places, but you can always use longer leads to give me more freedom and I’ll need some outside space attached to the house that is secure (4ft minimum height) for me to stretch my legs in.If you’ve got room in your life for a little character with a big personality (and plenty of nicknames), I might just be your perfect match.

Charley is a sweet, small-medium sized lurcher girl. She’s 9 years old and is looking for a new home due to a change in circumstances in her current home, where she is a much-loved member of the family. Charley is a loving dog who bonds deeply with her family, and is very intelligent. She loves walking and playing with her tennis ball, and despite her age needs plenty of exercise – but she is also a typical couch potato lurcher, as long as her exercise needs are being met. Charley is very friendly with women and although she needs a more gradual introduction to new men, it usually doesn’t take long to gain her trust. She is housetrained, well-behaved at home and can be left alone for a few hours. She travels well in the car, but can occasionally get sick on very long journeys. Charlie is nervous of other dogs; whilst she can make friends with proper introductions, she can be defensive on walks if another dog enters her personal space. She is not severely reactive or difficult to manage, and tends to ignore dogs unless they get too close, but her adopter must be willing to support her and understand that there are some situations she finds challenging. She would prefer to be the only dog in her new home. Charlie would love to live in a quiet rural or semi-rural area, with a garden to play and relax in and plenty of love and attention from her new family.Would prefer to be the only dog. May be able to live with teenagers, but would prefer a quiet, calm environment. Would prefer a rural or semi-rural home. Is still active for a 9 year old! Needs access to walking areas without too many other dogs (especially loose dogs). Can be left alone for around 4-6 hours, but this must be built up gradually in a new home.
