Chilterns Dog Rescue Society

Abi is a 16kg neutered French Bulldog cross and came in to our care as a stray from the pound. Abi is a friendly, enthusiastic girl who absolutely loves human company. True to her type she can be strong on lead at times, but when she connects with you she is bright, affectionate and a rewarding companion. Abi has played well with other dogs at the rescue but would benefit from continued socialisation and training. Abi is looking for a home with experience of bull breeds. Someone that understands her character, her strength and her training needs. with continued support Abi will be a fun, loyal and loving companion with plenty of personality. Due to Abi coming in to us from the pound we would recommend that Abi is not homed with children or animals in the home. Her favourite things are toys, adventures and food!

RATS Animal Rescue

Our beloved Andy has been a part of the RATS Family for most of his life. Despite several attempts, he sadly hasn't yet found his pawfect home. He sees our kennels as his home and our volunteers as his furever family, but he could still be adopted if he found his ideal owner.Due to a traumatic incident in his past, Andy is paralysingly fearful of strangers. This is why he must always wear a muzzle on his walks. However once he has been introduced to you and establishes that he can trust you, he is the most loving, affectionate and gentle boy. Andy has met over a hundred people since he has been in our care, and he always remembers everyone.We're certainly in no rush to rehome our boy. He is very loved and very happy with us. He's known amongst our friends and supporters as King of the Kennels and he takes his Top Dog role very seriously, helping newbies to settle in and showing them the ropes. He's also a regular fundraiser for RATS, taking on sponsored challenges and running competitions. He's got to earn his keep after all :)I cannot live with children.I cannot live with other dogs.I cannot live with cats or small mammals.

Hope for Podencos

. Found in a state of deep shock, he had survived in an environment surrounded by deceased dogs and skeletal remains. When he arrived at our partner shelter, he was severely underweight, dehydrated and emotionally shut down. Loud noises and sudden movements terrified him, and he oftern withdrew from human contact.Angel’s healing has been slow but steady. With patience, care and gentle trust-building sessions, he’s learned that kindness exists. He now understands that food comes regularly, that humans can be gentle and he is finally safe. He now enjoys regular walks. He’s good with traffic, although a little wary of lorries. He’s sociable with other dogs and often looks to them for reassurance.Angel is looking for a calm, patient adopter with experience of nervous dogs. A quiet home (city life would not suit him) with canine companion(s) to help him continue to build confidence. Angel is carrying a little extra weight at the moment, so his adopters will need to help him gently slim down with a healthy routine,Angel has endured more than any dog should. Now he deserves peace, love and a forever home where he can continue to heal. He may not rush to greet you, but if you’re willing to earn his trust, the bond will be extraordinary. Angel arrived to a foster home in the UK in July where he is blossoming with the help of doggy companions, Angel is neutered, vaccinated and tested negative for all Mediterranean diseases. He is passported and available for adoption now.If you would prefer to make a one off donation, please click below #block-612b6f815c218ec9a778 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-612b6f815c218ec9a778 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-612b6f815c218ec9a778 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-612b6f815c218ec9a778 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-612b6f815c218ec9a778 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-612b6f815c218ec9a778 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-612b6f815c218ec9a778 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } Donate #block-7b5314f8dd0e80d2ee0b { --sqs-block-content-flex: 0; } .fe-65abf9509ada66258aec2fdf { --grid-gutter: calc(var(--sqs-mobile-site-gutter, 6vw) - 11.0px); --cell-max-width: calc( ( var(--sqs-site-max-width, 1500px) - (11.0px * (8 - 1)) ) / 8 ); display: grid; position: relative; grid-area: 1/1/-1/-1; grid-template-rows: repeat(21,minmax(24px, auto)); grid-template-columns: minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr) repeat(8, minmax(0, var(--cell-max-width))) minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr); row-gap: 11.0px; column-gap: 11.0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-x: clip; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .background-width--inset .fe-65abf9509ada66258aec2fdf { --inset-padding: calc(var(--sqs-site-gutter) * 2); } .fe-65abf9509ada66258aec2fdf { --grid-gutter: calc(var(--sqs-site-gutter, 4vw) - 11.0px); --cell-max-width: calc( ( var(--sqs-site-max-width, 1500px) - (11.0px * (24 - 1)) ) / 24 ); --inset-padding: 0vw; --row-height-scaling-factor: 0.0215; --container-width: min(var(--sqs-site-max-width, 1500px), calc(100vw - var(--sqs-site-gutter, 4vw) * 2 - var(--inset-padding) )); grid-template-rows: repeat(7,minmax(calc(var(--container-width) * var(--row-height-scaling-factor)), auto)); grid-template-columns: minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr) repeat(24, minmax(0, var(--cell-max-width))) minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr); } } .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 { grid-area: 2/2/9/10; z-index: 0; @media (max-width: 767px) { } } .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 { grid-area: 1/2/6/17; z-index: 0; } .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } } .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 { grid-area: 10/2/14/10; z-index: 1; @media (max-width: 767px) { } } .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 { grid-area: 1/17/6/21; z-index: 1; } .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } } .fe-block-65abf950e8d50f78f9b7795f { grid-area: 14/2/18/10; z-index: 2; @media (max-width: 767px) { } } .fe-block-65abf950e8d50f78f9b7795f .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-65abf950e8d50f78f9b7795f .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe-block-65abf950e8d50f78f9b7795f { grid-area: 1/21/6/26; z-index: 2; }

Hi everyone, my name's Archie and I may be little in size but have a big personality to make up for it.I have recently spent the last couple of months in Foster care with two staff members from the centre here, and I have loved being in a comfy home environment again. This has allowed the team to learn a lot more about my rehoming requirements.So here goes......I am going to need quite a special home that's nice and quiet with an owner who will give me lots of time, patience, reassurance and understanding as I am a very worried and scared little boy. I am not the type of dog that likes to be fussed or petted, so if you are looking for a lap dog that isn't me I'm afraid. However, the team have been working on other ways of interacting with me and I now know a "touch" command and I get so excited to do this, I'm such a good boy!I would also benefit from having a space in my new home just for me, where I can go to if I need some quiet time - my Foster Mums say I get very sleepy in the evening and will take myself off to my favourite "igloo" bed.I am spotlessly clean in the home, and I actually settle very well so would be fine to leave for a period of time - you will most probably find me asleep under my blanket upon your return as I love getting all snuggly and warm. I am not a fan of the rain, mud, getting dirty or being woken up from my snoozing though!Once I know and trust you the real Archie comes out to play - I just love my special mini sized balls and tug toys, we could have so much fun! I am actually very clever and know lots of commands, love enrichment activities and am keen to learn new things. I am good on the lead and really enjoy sniffy walks as long as I'm away from busy roads.I wouldn't be able to live with cats or dogs I'm afraid, but if you have an adult only home and would be willing to handle me carefully and build up my confidence I would love to meet you and show you the real Archie x

Arnie is a lovely big friendly boy of around 40kg. He loves a fuss and everyone he's met. Fine with kids, joggers, cars, bikes, loud noises, coffee shops etc. He's very easy in the home and sleeps quietly downstairs all night.He's generally fine with other dogs but seems to prefer females. He enjoys his food and treats and hasn't shown any signs of allergies or food intolerance. He can be quite strong on the lead at the start of a walk but loves his play time with toys in the paddock and soon calms down after a run. Knows all basic commands.Arnie would be best suited with older teenage children as he is a big boy and doesn't realise his size. No cats or small furries.

Astra is a 3.5 year old male lurcher. He is very kind natured and walks really well on the lead but as expected due to the breed has a very high prey drive. Astra is a lovely dog!Thanks for clicking on my profile. I have now been matched with a loving family and I’m looking forward to settling in at my new home. However, many of my friends still need adopting. Can you offer them the love and devotion they deserve?Astra was found as a stray and brought to us. He was then rehomed for 9 months but unfortunately was too lively for his owner. He has a wonderful temperament and is a really kind hearted dog. Astra walks well on the lead but can pull if he sees something he wants to chase like a bird, rabbit, cat or squirrel. Astra seems to be good with other dogs but in his home he did become a bit reactive to them. Astra is a soppy boy who loves his cuddles and just wants a loving home, lap and garden to relax and run around in.If you can offer him the perfect home, please call us on 01279 501547I will receive initial health checks, up-to-date vaccinations, neutering/spaying (if age/timing is appropriate), flea treatment, worming treatment, microchipping and essential vet care that occurs during my stay.

Billy is a lovely but shy boy who adores other dogs. He was found stray so we don’t know much about his history.Thanks for clicking on my profile. I have now been matched with a loving family and I’m looking forward to settling in at my new home. However, many of my friends still need adopting. Can you offer them the love and devotion they deserve?Billy is very handsome and soft. He is nervous to begin with but with patience he becomes very loving. Billy adores other dogs and he feels more confident when around them, so we would ideally like to find a home with another dog already present to help him blossom.Billy was found stray so sadly we don’t know much about his history.Billy could potentially live with children but we don’t think he could live with cats or other small animals.To enquire please call 01279 501547.I will receive initial health checks, up-to-date vaccinations, neutering/spaying (if age/timing is appropriate), flea treatment, worming treatment, microchipping and essential vet care that occurs during my stay.

Handsome Casper is a young Jack Russell Terrier with plenty of charm and affection to give. Like many terriers, he is a bright, active boy who will thrive with owners who understand the breed and are committed to providing the structure, training and enrichment he needs.Casper is an affectionate little dog who genuinely wants to please his people. He loves being part of the action and enjoys spending time with those he trusts. He walks nicely on both a lead and a long line, making him a lovely companion for exploring the countryside and enjoying outdoor adventures.Casper is not only energetic but also very intelligent, and he is looking for a home that can provide him with a "job" to do. Whether that's scent work, trick training, puzzle toys, agility, or other mentally stimulating activities, Casper will thrive when his busy terrier brain is given positive outlets. Keeping him mentally engaged will be just as important as his daily exercise.He can be a sensitive soul at times and may be unsettled by loud noises, so he is looking for a quieter, rural home where he can feel safe and secure. He will benefit from patient owners who can help build his confidence and understand when he needs a little reassurance.As a typical terrier, Casper has a curious and adventurous nature and has shown himself to be something of an escapologist. Because of this, he needs a home with very secure boundaries and owners who are experienced and vigilant when it comes to managing clever dogs who like to explore!Casper is generally fine with other dogs, although he can sometimes become a little over-excited when meeting them. He could potentially live with another compatible dog following successful introductions at the centre.If you're an experienced terrier lover looking for a loyal, affectionate companion and can offer a secure rural home where Casper can put his clever mind to good use, please register your interest now.

Hope for Podencos

, along with her mother, and sister Estrella. Her sister and mother have both been adopted and are living in their forever homes. Cati was living in a foster home in Spain with many other podencos and is now in the foster home in the UK as an only dog. Cati is a sweet girl but is very shy initially and a month into her foster home in the UK she is now starting to show a little more of her personality. When her foster dad comes home from work, she stands up on the sofa and is very waggy tailed as she waits to greet him. She is also becoming more curious around the home, especially with the lovely smells that come from the kitchen! She is no bother in the home at all and hasn’t been at all destructive. She can be left for a few hours with no concerns and she sleeps downstairs on the sofa and goes through the night. She is clean in the house, walks really well on the lead and is just starting to relax into car journeys a little bit more. She has her safe spot, which is on her sofa, and after the trip from Spain took a lot of coaxing to come off but thats changing now. She really enjoys being out in the garden and on walks - we do think a home with a garden is a must for Cati as that way she can progress in her own time without needing to go on walks from day one after a move to her forever home. She doesn't actively seek out affection that often but is happy to be stroked and she also enjoys a belly rub and a scratch! She is happy for people to come and sit next to her on the sofa in close proximity and we know in time she’ll really start to relax and learn to fully trust. Cati hasn’t proven to be much of a foodie since her move to the UK but in a home with other dogs in Spain she could sometimes be a little protective over her food when other dogs were around and will also try and steal food from the others - this is not uncommon with rescue dogs, so if she goes to a home with other dogs which is our preference as we think it would help her to progress quicker, this will need to be managed and can also be worked on with the support of our trainer. Whilst our preference is a home with other dogs, Cati could also live as an only dog with a kind, patient adopter or foster who can help her blossom just as she is doing with her wonderful fosters. Cati wouldn’t be suitable for a busy city - a town, village or somewhere more rural would be ideal. We think Cati could live with older children, as long as they are respectful of her space. Cati is a wonderful girl who just needs a chance to really blossom and show her full wonderful personality. Cati has been neutered, vaccinated and has tested negative for all Mediterranean diseases. She is passported and available for adoption now.

Hey there I'm Champ.My owner has now found himself having to work away from home for long periods of time and knows that's not fair on me, so he has asked for help through The Home Direct Scheme. The team at the centre will be trying to find me a suitable home and will conduct all of the meetings.I am a cracker of a dog - very good looking with the best temperament that you might find! I am so friendly, a real big softie!!! I am great with all people including children, and can live with cats and other dogs, so I literally tick lots of boxes!!!I am not huge.....but I am a bouncy, young, larger sized dog so will need someone who can hold me on the lead and who wont get pushed over easily if I jump up for some extra big cuddles and kisses. I am full of energy so will need a new owner who is up for some fun and adventures each and every day as I have a lot of energy to burn.I am used to always having someone around so wouldn't like to be left alone for long periods. If you did, I would probably get bored very quickly and bark a bit.At home I like to sleep on my very own arm chair or sit beside you, or even on you......if I can get on your lap!So come on everyone, I have lots of sloppy Champ kisses ready and waiting xx

Hi I’m Chance. I’m 5 years old, and I found my way into rescue after my time at the pound ran out. It was all a bit scary and confusing, if I’m honest. I’m still figuring things out.I can be quite an anxious boy in certain situations. But once I know I’m safe, that’s when the real me comes out.If I bond with you, you’ll know it. I’ve got the wiggliest bum and the happiest tail you’ve ever seen, all ready to greet my favourite people. I absolutely adore fuss and attention. Gentle strokes, kind words, sitting close together... that’s my love language. I’m a soft-hearted, gentle soul who just wants to feel secure and loved.I’ll need someone patient and understanding who can help me build my confidence at my own pace. I’m just a little unsure about life sometimes. With reassurance and positive experiences, I really will blossom.I’ll also need some support with my dog socialisation. I’m a bit fearful around other dogs right now, so slow introductions and ongoing positive training will help me learn that I don’t need to worry.In return, I promise to be the sweetest, most loyal companion you could ask for. I may take a little time to find my brave, but when I do, you’ll have a best friend for life.If you’ve got a kind heart and a bit of patience to spare, I’d love to meet you. Maybe my second chance starts with you.

*Pending application* Chilli is a big friendly boy that gets along with everyone. He just doesnt realise how big he is when he jumps up for a cuddleThanks for clicking on my profile. I have now been matched with a loving family and I’m looking forward to settling in at my new home. However, many of my friends still need adopting. Can you offer them the love and devotion they deserve?Hi, I’m Chilli. I was taken to the ARC for rehoming as my little human brother has a health condition that meant me wanting to play with him could accidentally hurt him. I’m very friendly and am strong on the lead, but i just want love and attention. I enjoy carrying around and tugging rope toys, playing with balls, and am very interested in other dogs. I have lived with children, but bigger ones would be better as i don’t know how big i am when i jump in for a cuddle. I’m currently 40kg and may grow to 50 but currently am the size of black lab. As I’m still a puppy i could do with ongoing training but I’ve had some already I would love to go to a family with lots of time for me. If that family is you then please call on 01279501547 to book an appointmentI will receive initial health checks, up-to-date vaccinations, neutering/spaying (if age/timing is appropriate), flea treatment, worming treatment, microchipping and essential vet care that occurs during my stay.
