The East of England combines rural counties, coastal communities and growing towns, making it suitable for a wide range of rescue dogs. Dogs adopted across the region are often matched with homes that can offer stability, exercise and consistent routines. Many rescues work collaboratively across counties, meaning dogs may be rehomed beyond their original location. Regional adoption helps ensure dogs are placed into environments that truly suit their needs.
WK Retired Greyhounds
Abbi is 4yrs old. She is very nervous at the moment but we hope she will come round quickly, particularly if she shares with another greyhound and gains confidence from a confident dog. She will need a patient and understanding home, without young children as they may be too much for her. Abbi is currently reserved!

Aggie is full of energy and is looking for an active household where she will have her exercise and mental stimulation needs met. Aggie would be suited to being the only pet in the household so she can have all the attention she deserves and training she requires to thrive. She can live with sensible children aged 16 and upwards who will suitably interact with her and appreciate the need to give her space when she needs it. Aggie is very eager to explore on her walks, and can pull on the lead. Due to her size, this is manageable but her new family would benefit from working on loose lead walking when she is in her new home. Aggie has the potential to learn very quickly. She is very food orientated and responds wonderfully to positive rewards based training, she therefore would benefit from an owner who can continue with her training with kindness and consistency. Aggie can be cautious around new people and situations. She’ll need slow, patient introductions to unfamiliar faces. However, once she warms up, Aggie has the potential to be a loyal and affectionate companion. Aggie will need her new owner to be around the majority of the day initially, while she gets familiar with her surroundings and routine, but leaving hours can slowly be introduced once she is settled. If you’re looking for a lively, loving dog who will keep you on your toes, Aggie might just be the perfect match for you!

Say hello to Aladdin, a goofy, bouncy boy with a heart full of joy and a smile that rarely leaves his face.Aladdin has come such a long way during his time with us and has truly blossomed into a confident, happy lad. While he can be a little thoughtful when meeting new people, he builds bonds nicely and is now very comfortable getting his harness on and heading out for adventures. In fact, he walks beautifully and takes the world in his stride, enjoying his outings with a relaxed and cheerful attitude.Aladdin would love a calm and understanding home that will continue to support him as he settles in. He will need a few visits prior to adoption to make sure he feels comfortable, particularly with his new family putting on his harness, but he no longer needs extensive bonding time. Once he knows you, he is a gentle, affectionate and loyal companion.He is happiest when he is playing with his toys, showing off his playful side, or relaxing in his bed with his legs crossed, watching the world go by. His sweet nature and signature grin brighten every room he walks into.Aladdin has been great with the female dogs here and enjoys their company. He can find very boisterous male dogs a little overwhelming at times, so calm introductions suit him best. He does have a tendency to chase cats, so he is looking for a home without cats or other small animals.Aladdin is also available for adoption with his best friend Peggy if you have space in your home for two wonderful companions.If you are looking for a cheerful, loving dog who is ready to enjoy life by your side, Aladdin could be your perfect match.
Safe Rescue For Dogs
Albie is a medium sized crossbreed aged around eight years old. Previously lived with cats. Can live with or without other dogs. Adult family. Albie came into our care initially in 2021. He’d been previously abandoned in a field in Romania and was saved by rescuers there. He was adopted quite quickly but has now been returned five years on because he’s not adjusted well to life with a new baby. Albie is ok with other dogs but not hugely interactive with them and would be quite happy as an only dog. He has previously lived with cats. Albie needs an adult family as can be jumpy with sudden movements. He enjoys his walks and absolutely loves to be groomed.Albie fostered Kings Lynn, NorfolkAdoption Donation Fees are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: £430. Un-neutered puppies on spay/neuter contracts: £530 (You will receive a £100 rebate once you send us proof of neutering). Senior dogs (10+ years): £150–£250 (depending on age and individual needs).When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST use a slip lead. This will keep your dog safe: your new dog will be nervous and will not trust you, and you will not know which situations might upset your dog. If your dog panics, then a slip lead is the only way to prevent your dog from escaping (many dogs can escape from a collar and/or harness). It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle-in and for you to know your dog fully (longer for nervous dogs). The slip lead must ALWAYS be used during this settling-in period. Even after your dog is settled, it is safest to use the slip lead in situations where your dog may become scared (e.g. visiting new places, around unfamiliar people, at the vet), and it situations where unexpected triggers might happen (e.g. around bonfire night). Nervous dogs may always need to wear a slip-lead as a back-up safety measure. The slip lead is a safety device and must NEVER be used as a training tool. Using the lead to apply pressure to the dog’s neck is damaging. If your dog pulls on the lead, then we can advise you on training methods that avoid harm. Once your dog is settled, you may want to consider using a harness (together with the slip lead) if your dog is comfortable with being handled when it is fitted. Most harnesses are not escape-proof, but harnesses with a strap behind the ribcage (e.g. Ruffwear Webmaster or Perfect Fit Harnesses) are safer. Retractable / extendable leads must never be used on our dogs. Adopted dogs must be collected from the rescue and transported straight home in a secure metal crate. Fences and gates must be 5foot minimum in height and secure.

Are you right for Amy Jane (AJ)?Amy-Jane (AJ) is an affectionate 2-year-old looking for a calm, patient home where she can truly thrive. She is very friendly when meeting new people and quickly wins hearts with her sweet nature, love of cuddles, and enthusiasm for playtime with her toys. AJ is a high-energy dog who will need plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and ongoing training to help her be her best self. She can be reactive to other dogs, so her new family must be committed to continuing her socialisation training in a positive and consistent way. AJ cannot live with other animals and, due to her size and energy levels, would be best suited to a home with children aged 14 and over.

“I have a GSD x Mali came in as welfare, skinny and suddenly gained a lot of weight and was pregnant! She had 6 puppies and sadly 5 didn’t make it as were born with cleft palate. Only one survived and is doing well but the mum had been quite stressed and has suffered as she started to chase her tail and biting/chewing it to the point her tail needs to be amputated. Angel is friendly with people and quite a sweet girl, is dog reactive.”How could we say no to this poor girl. Angel is microchipped and spayed. No young children as we do not know her full history. Would probably need to be the only dog although has been ok around placid males. Unknown with cats.Angel will need a home experienced with the breed to give her the life she deserves please.
