American Akita crossbreed White and black 9 Years (approx) Ref: 198/26 AJ is a beautiful Akita cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier who came into our care due to a change in his owner’s circumstances. Since arriving at the centre, he has shown himself to be a sensitive and sometimes nervous boy, but with time, patience, and reassurance, his confidence has grown and he has made lots of friends along the way. AJ can be very nervous around children, so we feel he would be best suited to an adultonly home where he can feel safe and secure. While AJ has made dog friends at the centre, we believe he would thrive most as the only dog in the home, where he can enjoy all the love, attention, and spoiling for himself. Beneath his shy exterior is a truly affectionate and lovable character looking for a calm, relaxed home. He would love a family who can take him on adventures during the day before settling down for cuddles together on the sofa in the evening. I know how to sit (and lots of other commands too!) I'd prefer an adult only household I need teaching that it's ok to be alone I get on well with many other dogs I'd prefer to be the only animal in a home I'm young at heart I love fuss and attention DOG American Akita crossbreed White and black 9 Years (approx) Ref: 198/26

Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Brindle and white 7 Years (approx) Ref: 58/26 Beau is a beautiful, bouncy Staffy cross Lurcher with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He came into our care under very sad circumstances, having been handed over to an inspector after being kept in a crate for most of his time and not receiving enough food. When Beau arrived, he was extremely underweight and had caused serious damage to his own tail. His condition was so poor that he required hospitalisation before joining us at the centre, and sadly his tail had to be amputated. Despite everything he has been through, Beau has shown incredible resilience. Since arriving at the centre, he has truly come out of his shell and is beginning to enjoy life again. Beau has made lots of friends during his time with us. He is friendly with people, enjoys the company of other dogs, and absolutely loves getting out on adventures. He’s a clever boy who is very foodmotivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding. Beau is now looking for a loving home that will give him the patience, understanding, and affection he deserves. After such a difficult start in life, he is ready to be cherished and spoiled. If you think you could offer Beau the happy, secure future he’s been waiting for, please submit a Perfect Match form to info@rspcasussexwest.org.uk You'll need to take me to training classes I could live with children of secondary school age I need someone with me most of the time I get on well with many other dogs I'd prefer not to live with a cat I'm always on the go I love food and treats DOG Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Brindle and white 7 Years (approx) Ref: 58/26

Lurcher crossbreed Black and tan 1 Year (approx) Ref: 199/26 Billy is a wonderful, sweetnatured Lurcher cross. He’s a bundle of fun with a bright, eager mind, making him a fantastic match for someone who enjoys training. Billy already knows a variety of tricks and has a great foundation of skills to build on. Billy came to us from another rescue where he sadly wasn’t getting much interest, so we’re hoping a fresh start in a new area will help him find the loving home he deserves. He can make dog friends, but he does lack some social manners, so he’ll need an owner who is happy to manage this and continue his training. Our behaviour team will provide ongoing postadoption support to help him settle in and develop these skills further. As a Lurcher x Belgian Shepherd, Billy will need plenty of both mental and physical stimulation to keep him happy and fulfilled. He can be a little unsure in new situations, such as navigating stairs or encountering busy traffic, but with patience and positive guidance, he’s learning to grow in confidence. He will require a home with a private, secure garden. Billy is looking for a dedicated and loving home, one that understands the needs of a high energy dog and is committed to helping him become a confident, well mannered companion. He would really benefit from ongoing training and enrichment activities to channel his energy in positive ways. If you’re ready to give your time, patience, and heart to a dog who just needs a chance, Billy could be the perfect match for you. If you’re interested, please complete a Perfect Match form and send it to info@rspcasussexwest.org.uk I know how to sit (and lots of other commands too!)

Cane Corso crossbreed Black and white 612 Months Ref: 212/26 Bruce is a sweet 8 month old mastiff X who came in to us due to his owener no longer being able to take care of himHe is a big baby looking for an owner with large breed experience who can help him grow into the distinguished gentle giant that he will be. He can be strong on lead and will need an owner who will continue his loose lead walking training. Bruce can be a nervous boy, who requires time and patience to settle in new spaces and in the company of new people. Once he is comfortable with you you will soon see his true puppy personality! He loves to play with toys, have zoomies and he does jump up when excited. The kennel team are working on basic obedience skills with him but is looking for a home where he can continue to be guided and learn new things. Bruce enjoys the company of other dogs but due to the combination of his age and size he can be a bit too much for them and needs to continue to learn manners around other dogs. He has previously lived with children but due to his size and strength we would recommend that he live with secondary school age and above. If you believe that you could give Bruce the loving home that he so deserves please email info@rspcasussexwest.org.uk to request a perfect match form You'll need to take me to training classes I could live with children of secondary school age I need someone with me most of the time I may be able to live with another dog I'd prefer not to live with a cat I'm a gentle giant (big and strong) I love food and treats DOG Cane Corso crossbreed Black and white 612 Months Ref: 212/26

Dachshund (Wirehaired) Black and tan (Boar) 1 Year (approx) Ref: 237/26 Hilda came to us from Battersea after having little luck finding her forever home. She's now enjoying life in the countryside, where we're hoping she'll have a better chance of meeting the right family. Hilda is a beautiful and cheeky Dachshund with a huge personality packed into a tiny body. She is looking for an experienced home with people who understand the Dachshund breed and their unique traits. Hilda can be independent at times and enjoys doing things on her own terms, making her a great match for someone who appreciates a dog with character. One of Hilda's challenges is that she can be quite vocal. Previous homes found her barking difficult to manage, both in the home and when out and about. She is likely to bark at other dogs on walks and at unfamiliar noises, so her new family will need patience, understanding, and a commitment to ongoing training to help her feel more settled and confident. Despite this, Hilda is a fun, affectionate little dog with plenty of love to give. With the right guidance and a breed savvy home, we believe she has all the potential to thrive. If you think you could offer Hilda the loving home she deserves, please send a Perfect Match Form to info@rspcasussexwest.org.uk.

Beagle Tan and white 2 Years (approx) Ref: 125/26 Indiana Bones is a gorgeous Beagle who originally came to us through stray kennels, so sadly we don’t know much about his past. He was rehomed for a short time, but after a week it became clear it wasn’t quite the right match, so he has come back into our care. He can be a little worried by certain noises and unfamiliar objects when he’s out and about, but underneath that cautious side is a really lovely boy with a huge personality. Indiana absolutely loves his food (which may explain his slightly larger waistline!), and one of his favourite things in the world is heading off on long, sniffy adventures. After a busy day, you’ll usually find him curled up under a blanket having a good snooze. As he settles into home life, his exercise will need to be built up gradually to help him lose some weight and improve his fitness. Like many Beagles, Indiana is very food motivated and can be a bit cheeky when it comes to snacks and treats, often preferring to enjoy them in peace in a cosy spot of his choosing. He has been really good with us here at the centre, but his new family will just need to be mindful to give him space when he’s enjoying something tasty. Because of this, we feel he would be best suited to an adultonly home, or one with older teenagers. Mr Bones is brilliant with the other dogs here at the centre and is currently our resident stooge dog, helping other dogs build confidence on walks. He loves social strolls and plenty of sniffing opportunities. One thing he does find very scary is travelling in cars, so we’re hoping to find him a home where he can enjoy walks locally, at least while he builds confidence.
