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.He is a goofy and playful boy who loves to play with toys and enjoys having fusses. AJ walks lovely on lead and is very calm around other dogs. AJ can be nervous and unsure 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.If you are interested in AJ, please email info@rspcasussexwest.org.uk 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

Barney originally came from another rescue who could not provide him with what he needed. He has then spent the last few months in a sanctuary set up where he has blossomed and done really well. He is now ready to find a new home.Barney is a clever and extremely affectionate boy. He greets everyone with joy and will happily sit on the lap of anyone or go for a walk with anyone. Barney walks quite well on the lead and on a long line. He is a terrier so he doesn’t go off lead out and about but goes off in secure fields/areas and when there’s no distractions his recall is good.Barney is clean in his kennel once he knows his routine. He is completely not destructive and can be left for a few hours without making a noise or any issue providing the environment is relatively calm.He is a busy little terrier, likes a scent but also enjoys home comforts so he would benefit from an active home but he still wants to be a pet. He has no food or toy reactivity, although he likes both he’s not possessive even over high value items.Barney is anxious of other dogs so can appear reactive if he’s worried and doesn’t like dogs in his face but he copes well with dogs that ignore him. He finds dogs overwhelming unless he knows they are ok.Barney has visited pubs and cafes, where he was great but he will bark at other dogs he sees pass through a window but that only appears to be in these situations. We think he would definitely improve on these things with a little more practice and guidance.Barney has several walkers and has met lots of people and we’ve never seen a negative reaction to any. Very young kids might be overstimulating for him but he may be able to live with older, terrier savvy children.He’s a really sweet boy, just needs that active ‘terrier’ family, he will walk and walk and walk. He’s a really endearing dogΔ document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() );You must have an appointment booked after applying to adopt in order to meet the animals.You are welcome to drop off donations at any time or come into our reception office with any enquiries.We are constantly striving to improve all aspects of our work.

Crossbreed/Unknown crossbreed Black and tan 2 Years (approx) Ref: 206/26 Bear came into our care after his owner was no longer able to look after him. Originally from Romania, he has found the transition into kennels incredibly overwhelming and is one of the more nervous dogs in our care. The world can feel like a very scary place for Bear, and he's looking for a patient, experienced family who can help him learn that life doesn't have to be so frightening. When Bear first arrived, he was carrying a little extra weight, and he's been working hard on his fitness. His new family will need to continue supporting him with a healthy diet and gentle exercise to help him stay in shape. Although progress has been slow, Bear has started to build trusting relationships with the people he knows well. Loud noises, sudden movements, and unfamiliar situations can still be very daunting for him, and the busy kennel environment is not where he feels most comfortable. Because of this, we're looking for a calm, quiet home with people who have experience of, or a good understanding of, nervous Romanian rescue dogs. Bear will need adopters who are happy to let him settle at his own pace without expecting too much too soon. Bear may not be the kind of dog who is ready to greet everyone he meets, but for the right family, watching him grow in confidence and begin to trust will be incredibly rewarding. With time, patience, and lots of gentle encouragement, we're confident Bear has the potential to become a loyal and devoted companion. You'll need to take me to training classes I'd prefer an adult only household I need teaching that it's ok to be alone I'd prefer to be the only dog in a home I'd prefer to be the only animal in a home I'm young at heart I love food and treats DOG Crossbreed/Unknown crossbreed Black and tan 2 Years (approx) Ref: 206/26

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!) I'd prefer an adult only household I can be left alone for short periods I'd prefer to be the only dog in a home I'd prefer not to live with a cat I'm always on the go I love food and treats DOG Lurcher crossbreed Black and tan 1 Year (approx) Ref: 199/26

Braixen is a gorgeous, affectionate girl with a heart full of love and an enthusiastic outlook on life. She’s a sweet and friendly dog who enjoys being around people, but she can get very excited and is still learning her manners and boundaries.Like many hounds, Braixen loves to follow her nose! Walks are an adventure, and she can pull on the lead when she’s tracking scents, so she’ll need someone who is confident handling an energetic dog.At home, Braixen can be quite vocal and will happily let you know when visitors arrive. She’s a loving companion but can be clumsy and boisterous, often forgetting just how big and enthusiastic she is. Because of this, we feel she’d be best suited to a home with adults and no young children. Teenagers would be fine. She is okay with other dogs outside of the home, but we think she would be best in a home without other dogs. She has lived with cats.Braixen is looking for a patient, active family who can continue her training, help her learn appropriate boundaries, and give her the love and guidance she deserves. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, affectionate, and wonderfully entertaining companion who will keep you smiling every day.

Daisy came under our care via another rescue on the 5th of April and has been in a foster home since then. She is now ready to look for a home of her own. Here is lots of information from her fosterers –Daisy is a beautiful Old Tyme Bulldog with the most loving, affectionate nature. If you’re looking for a dog who simply wants to be with her people, Daisy is your girl. Whether she’s curled up on the sofa, stretched out in front of the fire, sunbathing in the garden or trying to squeeze onto your lap for a cuddle, Daisy is happiest when she’s close to her favourite humans.She has settled beautifully into foster care and has shown herself to be a sweet, gentle and funny girl with a typical Bulldog personality. She has made wonderful progress since coming into foster care and continues to grow in confidence every day. She has a wonderfully stubborn streak that will make you smile and, while she enjoys getting out for walks, she’s definitely more of a “stop and smell the roses” kind of dog than an endurance athlete! Although Daisy loves her naps and cuddles, she’s still a young Bulldog and does have her moments of youthful exuberance. She can occasionally become a little boisterous, but she responds really well to kind, consistent guidance and positive reinforcement.She walks nicely on the lead, travels well in the car and has a good foundation of training. Daisy is incredibly food motivated and really enjoys enrichment activities, which have been a fantastic way to build her confidence, reinforce routines and expectations, and keep her mentally stimulated. She responds brilliantly to kind, positive, reward-based training.Daisy is fully house trained and settles well overnight. She has been left for short periods with other dogs and copes well, although she forms strong bonds with her people and will need patience and reassurance while she settles into her new home. She isn’t comfortable being crated, so she’s looking for a home where this won’t be expected.She really enjoys the company of other dogs and loves playing with or snuggling up to her foster brother. She has met a wide variety of dogs while in foster care and has been friendly and sociable with the vast majority of them. As with many dogs, there has been the occasional interaction where she has needed a little extra support, including one incident where an introduction didn’t go to plan. Since then, careful introductions and thoughtful management have helped her continue to enjoy positive interactions with other dogs. Daisy seems to prefer companions who are calm and confident or playful and respectful. She could happily live as an only dog, provided she has plenty of human company and opportunities to enjoy regular walks or playdates with suitable canine friends. Equally, she could live with another compatible dog following appropriate introductions.Daisy has been gentle, affectionate and calm with all the children she has met. She is confident and inquisitive around horses and cows, often watching them with interest while remaining calm and responsive. However, she does have a prey drive towards smaller animals, so she wouldn’t be suitable to live with cats or other small pets.Like any self-respecting Bulldog, Daisy is incredibly food focused! She responds brilliantly to treats during training, but she’ll also happily help herself to anything tasty that’s left within reach—so her new family will need to keep an eye on unattended snacks (a tray of eggs once disappeared!).Before being adopted, Daisy will have surgery to correct entropion, a common condition in Bulldogs where the eyelids roll inwards and irritate the eyes. This treatment is already arranged and will be completed before she goes to her forever home.Daisy is looking for a home with a secure garden, lots of love and people who will enjoy having a loyal companion by their side. She would particularly suit adopters familiar with Bulldogs or similar breeds, who understand their unique personalities and needs. She could thrive as an only dog with plenty of company or with a well-matched canine companion who enjoys sharing both playtime and nap time. Above all, Daisy is looking for a family who will cherish her for the loving, affectionate and wonderfully characterful dog she is.Daisy has so much love to give and will make an incredibly loyal companion. In return for patience, understanding and plenty of cuddles, she will reward her new family with unwavering affection, lots of laughs and a best friend who simply wants to be by your side. Anyone lucky enough to welcome Daisy into their home won’t just be adopting a dog – they’ll be gaining a devoted member of the family.Δ document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() );You must have an appointment booked after applying to adopt in order to meet the animals.You are welcome to drop off donations at any time or come into our reception office with any enquiries.We are constantly s
