Sex: FemaleAge: 2 years oldSize: Medium sizeBreed: Mixed breedAdele is the one with most white on her, in the pics\n\nIntroducing... adorable Adele!Adele's Story:Adele is still just a youngster at 2 years old, she has spent her whole life living in shelters in Romania and at Oakwood Dog Rescue.We had a plea from a volunteer rescuer that had just been at the Romanian shelter stating that there were 2 pups there that were completely withdrawing into themselves and were starting to shut down. They were very worried that these 2 babies wouldn't survive the winter as they were already so frail, and temperatures had already dropped to -5 degrees. It usually gets to -20 during their winter months.In the photos, Adele is attached to Beyonce's side. Over time though, these 2 girls have made many new friends and are no longer reliant on each other. They both now kennel share with different dogs and are settled and happy with their groups. Adele has never lived in a home before and so would require time, patience, understanding and lots of positive based training to help her learn the ropes of home life.\n\nWith other dogs: Adele loves playing out with the other pups and adult dogs. She is a very nervous girl and gains confidence from being around other dogs, she would need at least one other dog in the home and they would need to be of similar or larger size than Adele.With cats:Adele is has met a cat whilst in our care. She was off lead and showed no prey drive. Please note - it was a very confident cat that she met so if she were to meet a cat that was skitty and ran, it is likley that she would chase due to a dogs natural instinct to do so.\n\nAdele loves nothing more than running around our fields and yards with all of her doggy friends. She's not ready to come inside a minute before the kennel shift is over. Adele has moderate to high energy levels at present.\n\nAdele has never before lived in a home. She will need to be left for minimal periods to begin with so she can settle in and realise that she is safe. This time alone (with another dog) can be built up so she'd be able to be left up to around 4 hours\n\nAdele is not yet lead trained. She is still very unsure about being handled and so lead training will come once she has built a bond with her new family\n\nAdele has no form of basic training. This will all come in time once she has settled and learnt to fully trust her adopters\n\nClick the button below to start the adoption application process!

Sex: FemaleAge: 4 years oldSize: LargeBreed: Mixed breed\n\nAmber's Story:We don't know much hisory about Amber other than she was rescued from a public shelter in Romania.When we agreed to her, we were told that she has a best from called Roxy and they've been giving each other so much confidence and so they travlled together.Amber can be very timid, and sometimes quite vocal, if she doesn't know you but she warms up quickly and has amazing potential to be a great dog for a home with no younger kids.\n\nWith other dogs: We've not yet done a huge amount of dog mixing with Amber as of yet, but from what we've seen, she can be quite dog selective. She loves her bestie Roxy but even then, they've had a couple of squabbles started by Amber.We would consider Amber living with another dog but it would be based on the right match. The dog would need to be large in size, definately no smaller than her. With cats:Amber has not been cat tested. She's not yet comfortable on a collar and lead and so it wouldn't be safe to cat test her at this time.\n\nAmber is an active girl, she loves been out in the fields playing with her friends. When she's lead trained, we think she's going to love some long hikes.\n\nAmber has never been in a home and so any time alone would need to be slowly built up over time.\n\nAmber does accept a collar / harness and lead. She is showing great potential, she just needs her confidence building.\n\nAmber has no form of basic training.\n\nClick the button below to start the adoption application process!

Sex: FemaleAge: 9 months oldSize: SmallBreed: Mixed Breed\n\nIntroducing Bella:Bella originally travelled to the UK from a shelter in Romania, with her sister Sahsa by her side the whole way.These public shelters in Romania are extremely overcrowded, very short on funds for food, the dogs have barely any shelter from the harsh weathers and sadly dog attacks are becoming more and more regular. These 2 babies wouldn't have stood a chance if they'd have stayed much longer.Since arriving with us Bella has shown to be the most gentle of souls. She is the quietest of all of the youngsters that we currently have in but she's very sweet and loving, she adores her 1-1 time with our volunteers.Bella's journey from the public shelters in Romania, the 3 day drive to the UK and her time at Oakwood, has all been right beside her sister Sasha. They really do love each other so much and it would be the most amazing happy ending for these girls to be adopted together. We realise that this is a big ask though and so we are also open to the option of them being adopted seperately to at give them a bigger chance of finding their forever homes.\n\nWith other dogs: Bella has shown us that she is great with other dogs and we can mix her with all of our dog friendly dogs with no issues at all.With cats:Bella was cat tested for a second time due to a lot of avoidance the first time and her sister being with her. Upon the 2nd cat test, she was able to be off lead however, she was truly terrified of the cat. She was visibly shaking and avoiding eye contact at all costs. She didn't show any prey drive so with very slow and steady interactions, we believe that she'd be ok to live with a cat in the home.\n\nBella is still just a baby, she currently shows moderate energy levels but she has recently started going out on walks which she is absolutely loving\n\nBella has never in her life been left fully alone as she's always had the company of other dogs.There's a possibility that Bella could suffer with superation anxiety until she gets used to being alone, this will need to be worked on and built up slowly\n\nBella has recently started lead training and is absolutely loving it\n\nBella has no form of basic training. She will also need toilet training in her new home\n\nClick the button below to start the adoption application process!

Pocket Bully Brown and white 2 Years (approx) Ref: C2026059 Bella is a 2yearold Bulldog Cross Pocket Bully who came into our care through the RSPCA Inspectorate after she was found abandoned in a property with another dog. Sadly, we know very little about Bella's past, but it didn't take long for her wonderful personality to shine through. Bella is a confident, friendly and affectionate girl who absolutely adores people. She loves nothing more than chasing a tennis ball before coming back for plenty of cuddles, and she'll happily curl up across your lap to soak up all the attention she can get. Bella truly thrives on human companionship and would love a home where she can be a big part of family life. Bella may be able to live with secondary schoolaged children and above who are confident and respectful around dogs. Bella would prefer to be the only pet in the home. She can walk past other dogs calmly and is capable of polite introductions, but she doesn't enjoy dogs getting into her personal space and is much happier being the centre of attention. For this reason, we are looking for a home where she can be the only animal and enjoy all the love to herself. Bella's teeth show signs of previous excessive chewing on very hard objects, which has caused some wear. This does not currently affect her quality of life, but her adopters will need to be aware that her teeth should be monitored throughout her lifetime, with regular veterinary checks as recommended. Adoption Fee is £520.00 this includes Neutering 1st & 2nd Vaccination Upto date Flea & Worm Treatment 4 Weeks free pet insurance Microchip Post adoption support I know how to sit (and lots of other commands too!)

Bichon Frise White 9 Years (approx) Ref: P2026011 Blue is a handsome 9yearold Bichon Frise cross Poodle who came into our care through the Inspectorate. Despite being an older gentleman, Blue is still full of energy and loves heading out on long walks, especially if there are plenty of interesting smells to investigate along the way! He can be a little enthusiastic on the lead when he first sets off, but he soon settles into a more relaxed pace. When he's not out exploring, Blue is happiest spending quality time with his people. He loves nothing more than cuddles, gentle strokes, and being close to those he trusts. Blue is looking for a home where someone is around for most of the day, as he does struggle with separation anxiety. He would like to be the only pet in the household so he can enjoy all the love and attention to himself. Blue could live with calm, respectful children of secondary school age and above. When Blue arrived with us, his skin was in poor condition. Thanks to lots of care, it has improved significantly. He is currently having a weekly medicated shampoo bath, and this will need to continue in his new home to help keep his skin healthy. Blue's adoption fee is £450 and includes: Neutering Full vaccination Uptodate flea and worm treatments Four weeks' Petplan insurance A onehour, onetoone training session Please note: We require a minimum of three meets at our centre in Hull before Blue can be adopted. I know how to sit (and lots of other commands too!)

Blue came in to our care from another rescue that was closing down and he was at risk of having nowhere to go.Blue is an Australian Cattle Dog, also known as a Blue Heeler. They are a working breed and are are highly intelligent, loyal and incredibly energetic, thriving off mental and physical stimulation. Blue will need someone who can provide him with plenty of exercise and mental enrichment in order for him to live a fulfilled life.We are ideally looking for someone that has experience with this breed and understands their breed traits. We can discuss Blue in more detail with anyone who is interested in adopting him.As far as we are aware, he has never been around children. This combined with his boisterous nature means we will not be looking to place him in a home with children.Blue seems to enjoy the company of other dogs and may even benefit from living with another dog so we are open to doggy meet and greets.

Oakwood Dog Rescue

Sex: MaleAge: 10 years oldSize: Large (Lab size)Breed: Mixed breed\n\nHey guys, Bobbie here! I originally arrived at Oakwood back in Janurary 2021. When I first arrived I was very scared due to how mistreated I was in Romania. It took me a while to begin to trust people again but I managed to find a home in March 2021. In the home I was very loved and the last 14 months I was there I made lots of progress in so many ways. Sadly, I have now come back to Oakwood due to compatibility issues with my family. I am an incredibly loyal boy and tend to bond strongly with one person. For this reason I would prefer a 1 person household that I can give all my love and attention to. The humans said they understand what a huge ask this is though so they will also be happy to look at a 2 person household too, it just may take me a little longer for me to feel safe with meeting 2 new people at the same time. Unfortunately I can really struggle with new people and introductions need to be very slow so that I feel safe - but I promise that I will be the bravest boy and do my absolute best as I really do want nothing more than to meet my forever family. Once I trust you, I guarentee that you will have a best friend for life. My ideal home would have minimal visitors. I'm a lazy boy who enjoys snoozing in my comfy beds, don't let that fool you though because I am super clever really! I enjoy enrichment and love my snuffle & lick mats. I also really enjoy obedience and trick training and it seems to entertain the humans when I show off all the cool tricks I know. I also love a blast on our big field, especially with my girlfriend Alex <3\n\nThe staff here at Oakwood have been helping me get used to lead walking. I will now walk around the centre on a lead just fine, and I'll walk out the back to our further away fields but I struggle out in the front car park as all of the people and cars scare me and I just want to get back to the safety of the rescue as soon as possible. My adopter will need to understand that I may never be a dog that enjoys going on walks but I will enjoy sunbathing in the garden and lots of cuddles and quality time with you. Things I do love: Having a brush! Venison! Chest, belly & butt scratches! Up until recently, I have been on a single protein venison diet as I have suspected allergies- my ears go red and I scratch them if I eat something I shouldn't. It does seem to be mild allergies and we are currently experimenting what triggers it the most. So far we have found that fish and lamb don't really agree with me. I am now eating a delicious hypo allergenic food that the humans bought me and I am doing great on it. They say it costs no more than normal dog food and I feel amazing on it. They say I have become very puppy like, giddy and silly, in the best possible way. I seem to make them laugh a lot <3 Dogs: I was very undersocialised with other dogs but have made progress with this and have shown I can have dog friends, both male and female, so although I need to live as an only dog I could have a visiting dog friend. I cannot live with cats. Full details of return will be given to potential adopters. I really hope to see your application!

Sex: FemaleAge: 16 months oldSize: Medium / Large Breed: Mixed Breed\n\nIntroducing Brioche!!Brioche is just a baby at under 18 months old. She spent most of her life in a public shelter in Romania and is a very nervous girl, but already showing so much potential and you can see how desperately she wants to trust us.The video we first received of Brioche was straight after she'd just been piled on by 20 other dogs that she was sharing a pen with. Poor Brioche was terrified and had pinned herself to the back of the wooden kennel, curled into a tiny ball screaming and just waiting for it to be over, it's very likely she wouldn't have survived this attack if 2 shelter workers weren't right there at the time and hadn't have dragged her out to safety. Brioche arrived with us at Oakwood Dog Rescue very shortly afterwards and was quickly adopted. Unfortunately, 4 days in, we got a call to say their current dog wasn't happy with her being in the home and was becoming more withdrawn. We asked for them to give them both more time but the more Brioche was growing in confidence and wanting to play and interact with the resident dog, the more they were backing away and wanting nothing to do with her. Brioche was becoming very lonely and was laid by herself out in the garden for a majority of the days, it was affecting the dogs and the whole family and so, after 4 weeks in the home, it was decided that Brioche was to be returned.It's usually heartbreaking for us to see a dog come back to kennels but when we let Brioche out for her play time, she couldn't control her excitement and she started playing and screaming and doing zoomies, she was SO happy to be back and surrounded by dogs again that actually wanted to interact with her, she was absolutely in her element.\n\nWith other dogs: Brioche gains all of her confidence from other dogs. We've never had a problem with a single dog that we've mixed her with at the rescue, she's always just so happy to be in their company. Without at least one other dog in the home, we believe any kind of progress with Brioche will be extremely slow.For this reason, Brioche will need at least one other resident dog already living in the home, they will need to be friendly and confident and want to interact with her, this is the only way Brioche will ever learn to feel safe and secure and learn how to be part of a family in a home.With cats:Brioche has not yet been cat tested.\n\nBrioche loves nothing more than to be running around and playing with her dog friends. She shows to have moderate to high energy levels.\n\nBroche has never been completely alone before and so any time alone in the home would need to be slowly built up over time.Time left alone with another dog, she's likely be ok for up to 4-5 hours\n\nBrioche is not yet brave enough for strokes and so until this happens, we won't be attempting lead training.\n\nBrioche has no form of basic manners, this will all come in time once she has learnt to trust her people.\n\nClick the button below to start the adoption application process!

It breaks our hearts to think of what Bruno must have gone through, but it gives us such relief to know that he was rescued in time, before the worst happened. His journey to a full recovery will be a slow and careful process involving veterinary care, a controlled feeding regime to get them gradually back to a healthy weight, and most importantly lots of love. Although he still has quite a way to go before he’s back to full health, we feel that he is now ready to find his forever home and that he will benefit greatly from being in a home environment with a loving family. Bruno will need an adult only home with someone who is willingly to support him in his recovery and provide him with a calm and safe environment to flourish in. Bruno is still under assessment with other dogs.He cannot live with cats or small animals.If you think you can give Bruno his second chance in life, please call us any day between 11am – 2pm on 01430 423986.

Saluki Brindle 4 Years (approx) Ref: C2026061 Buddy came into our care after we did a dog swap with RSPCA Coventry Branch. Upon Arrival Buddy immediatley let his personality shine. He absolutely adores playing with water and laying out in paddling pools. He also loves nothing more than running offleash on our enclosed back field. Buddy can becomes worried when meeting selected new people. He can become tense and a little vocal, however he soon comes around. Because of this he will need a undertsanding owner, he help him grow his confidence around new people. Buddy walks beautifully on lead when going off site and just trots along, having sniffs. Buddy can become frustrated by other dogs while out on walks and may bark and lunge when he is unable to access them. This behaviour appears to stem from frustration rather than aggression. We can work with his adopters to build his confidence, teach alternative behaviours, and help him learn to approach and interact with other dogs in a calm and polite manner over time. Buddy could live with older secondary school children (14+) and would prefer being the only animal in the home. He could be left for short periods once he has settled into his new home.Buddy adoption fee is £495.00, which includes:• Neutering• Flea and worm treatments• Full vaccination course• A onehour onetoone training session• Four weeks of PetPlan insurance I know how to sit (and lots of other commands too!)

Sex: FemaleAge: 4 years oldSize: LargeBreed: Mixed breed\n\nIntroducing... sweet girl Carrie! Carrie's Story:Are you looking for a new best friend? Then look no further than Carrie!Carrie has recently arrived with us at Oakwood and with her sweet personality and kind nature, we are hoping she is not going to be with us too long before she finds her forever home.We were contacted about Carrie as she was being held in shelter in Romania where she was getting picked on by the other dogs. She is a large girl and so was in with lots of other large dogs, but this gentle girl wanted nothing more than to be out of that enclosure and to be with the volunteers that showed her kindness.We were told that the volunteers had spent a couple of hours with Carrie and when it was time to go back into the enclosure, she was shaking and holding on to them, pleading with her eyes, to not be put back. We were told that she was not coping at all and she is one of the dogs were they would expect to one day be notified that she had been attacked and didn't survive :(We couldn't let this gentle soul stay there any longer and agreed to accept her into our care.Carrie is very human and dog friendly but can be very nervous until she gets to know you. She is very scared of the world around her and is not yet ablet to walk on a collar and lead due to fear. She loves playing with dogs, loves her food, and is starting to copy the other dogs and play with toys <3\n\nWith other dogs: Carrie has been great with every dog that we have mixed her with so far. She can be very wary of them to start off with but once she starts to trust them, she is off running around the field playing chase with them.Unfortunately, due to her time in the shelter, Carrie will food guard from other dogs and so for this reason, must be rehomed as an only dog.With cats:Carrie is untested with cats therefore, she can not be rehomed with them\n\nCarrie is a young girl with lots of energy. She will thrive in a home that can give her lots of physical and mental stimulation as she may not be brave enough for lead walks for the first few weeks / months\n\nCarrie is very people oriented and will require training to build up her time alone. To begin with, she will need to be left as little as possible. In her kennel, she cries a lot so it's possible that she could develop separation anxiety in a home\n\nCarrie is not yet lead trained. This will come once she has settled into her new home and has built a bond with her new family\n\nCarrie has no form of basic training. This will all come in time once she has settled and learnt to fully trust her adopters\n\nClick the button below to start the adoption application process!
