Kent’s mix of coastal areas, countryside and well-connected towns creates varied opportunities for rescue dog adoption. Dogs rehomed in the county may be suited to active households, family life or quieter home environments depending on their needs. Many Kent-based rescues work closely with adopters to ensure dogs are comfortable with their surroundings, particularly where travel or busy areas are involved. Local adoption helps ensure dogs are placed thoughtfully and responsibly.

Romney Poor Angel came to us through no fault of her own. She is a typical Bulldog who doesn't know her own strength sometimes and will barrel into you wanting love and cuddles, due to this she would not be suitable for young children, she can however live with older children. She is good with other dogs and great with people. At the moment she is a bit nervous and scared of being in the kennel so she is a bit shut down at the moment. If you'd like to give Angel a home then please pop into our New Romney branch during our opening hours (Weds-Sun, 11am-3pm).

He is now waiting at the rescue centre in Kent for a home of his own.Anthony is a sweet and gentle boy. He is nervous with new people and new situations but does warm to people with a little bit of patience and attaches himself to someone for comfort in new situations. He likes to sit on our laps and rest his head on our knees for comfort. Anthony loves playing and running in our field. He likes to chase his siblings around and throw his toys around the field. He loves food and treats and warms to new people faster with treats.Anthony has never lived in a home before so will need full training and socialisation upon adoption.

Archie is a wonderful big greyhound with a typical greyhound nature! He is extemely sweet and a very laid back boy. Archie is house clean and a well-behaved house guest in his foster home. He enjoys walks and long afternoon naps. He lives with two other lurcher boys and is very well behaved with them, he enjoys a little play and then back to snoozing! He travels well in the car and recently passed a health check at the vets. He has an old leg injury from this that has been operated on.Archie does having a racing history so no small furries please! Here's what his foster mum says: Archie has settled well into a foster home with two other male sighthounds. No food aggression or any dog aggression shown. Typical greyhound- loves his food and loves his comfort- very quickly has made the sofa his choice of seating. Clean in the house. Not too confident on the stairs- good going up but still a work in progress getting back down! Gets into the car and travels well in the car now(although perhaps a larger car would be useful!!) Good with other dogs when out on a walk and loves people. Walks beautifully on the lead - unless there’s a squirrel in sight! I can manage the three large boys with one hand. Rarely barks. Takes treats nicely and tends to keep all four feet on the floor when he’s greeting you which is a relief as he’s as tall as I am! Very cuddly in the house and good recall outside. Typical countersurfer- often find things squirrelled away in his bed though non destructive- just a thief. He would like to live with another dog although not essential. Doesn’t need loads of exercise. Archie is a very lovely and loving dog- well regulated emotionally- will walk away from confrontation rather than escalate it. He’s got a really good, kind nature and positive attitude to life. Archie needs a secure garden with 6ft fencing minimum and no gaps at all.As with all dogs on going training will be needed. Archie can live with dogs, no cats and children 12+ please.

Asher came to us from the pound when he was due to be put to sleep. We initially agreed to take his brother Rowan in but when Asher appeared at the pound too, we couldn't leave him behind.Asher was so scared and shut down in the pound. It was clear he hadn't been treated with much kindness but as soon as he arrived at the centre and knew he was safe, he flourished ans quickly became the bouncing, loving and playful boy he was supposed to be.Asher is the most loving and sweet boy when he gets to know you. He loves to bound around our field and play and he really loves bum scratches and belly rubs. Asher has been good with the other dogs at the centre but was a bit fearful of them when he first arrived so will need slow introductions with new dogs so that he doesn't get overwhelmed.We do not know anything about Asher's life before the pound, so please expect to do full training upon adoption.
