Gorgeous Amelia has been waiting THREE YEARS to be chosen ! We can't quite understand why./Found abandoned as a pup on the mountains of Greece, Amelia came to the UK 4 years ago and lived happily in what she hoped was her forever home, until her family gave her up due to a new baby.She has now been in foster for nearly three years. She is loved, happy and has made huge strides but can't stay where she is forever and needs a family of her own. A shy girl at first, Amelia needs someone who will give her a bit of space to work things out but is SUPER affectionate when she trusts you. Her favourite trick is sitting on her bottom with paws up waiting for a treat.When she first arrived in foster, Amelia's anxiety made her dog-reactive but this clever girl has turned things around! Thanks to the commitment, patience and love, of her foster family, Amelia now happily walks past other dogs on a walk and could, with careful integrataion, learn to live with another dog. She would probably do best in an adults only home.Amelia looks super cute in a birthday hat but we don't want her to celebrate a THIRD year without a forever family! Please contact us if you are interested in helping Amelia .

Some dogs are Extra Special . Meet Angus, a gentle Shepherd whose heart is literally breaking as he waits and hopes for a family.3 year old Angus has a chronic heart condition (well managed by medication) which means the stress of life at the shelter could kill him. When we first met Angus last April he was super shy. Not reactive, just worried about our intentions. We asked his rescuer, Sofia to work with him, socialising and training him around people to prepare for domestic life.We needed to know if he could cope. Angus has amazed us with his progress. He used to flinch at the reach of a hand. Now he trusts and asks for rubs. He used to hide his head from treats. Now, he comes to you for tasty favours.He has been an absolute angel during his Veterinary visits, travels well in the car, loves dogs, cats and is not destructive.Angus still needs love, patience and lots of love to continue his progress. His medication costs are £47 a month. It’s a commitment we ask his adopter to be prepared to make for life. Meanwhile, we would commit to fundraising for the costs of his travel to the UK.We see huge potential in this sweet boy. His heart may be a little broken but it is full of love. We think he deserves the best shot at a long and happy life. Do you?Please contract us if you can help by adopting beautiful Angus.

Arnold has spent time away from the kennels and this is what his fosterer has to say about him:Arnold is a young handsome big lad who loves nothing more than snuggling up to his humans. He sometimes forgets his size and sees himself as a lapdog trying to sit on your knee. Arnold is a big boisterous vocal boy who loves to play with his toys. He sometimes forgets his manners when he meets new people and will jump up. He definitely needs to be the only pet in the home.Arnold is very loyal to his humans. He is house trained and can be left for up to 4-5 hours home alone. During that time he snoozes and chills out. Arnold loves a car ride and travels well. Arnold enjoys his walks – he shows reactivity on the lead and requires continued training help with this.Arnold is a lovable character who would best suit an adult only pet free home.

Pendle Dogs

Many of you will remember tiny Beanie, our three-legged Chihuahua who arrived with us in an absolutely horrific condition.When Beanie first started to improve, we felt she was ready to start looking for her forever home. Unfortunately, her skin flared up again, so we made the decision to pause her adoption and focus on getting her comfortable and healthy once more.The good news is that she’s doing brilliantly. Her skin is looking so much better, she’s feeling well, and the extra time in foster care has helped us understand exactly what this little lady needs from her future family.And what have we learned?Well… Beanie is an absolute princess! She is not your average dog. Beanie thrives on attention, affection, and being the centre of someone’s world. She loves to be nurtured and adored, and she will repay that devotion with endless love, laughter, and companionship.She does struggle with separation anxiety, so she needs a home where somebody is around for much of the day. The beauty of Beanie, though, is that she’s so tiny and portable that she can go almost anywhere with you. She has her own pram, and she’s more than happy to join you on life’s adventures.Over the past few weeks, we’ve also discovered that Beanie could potentially live with another very small, calm, and quiet dog. What she absolutely doesn’t enjoy is anything boisterous or overwhelming.Beanie cannot live with children. Even seeing children from a distance causes her anxiety, and she finds them very stressful. She also cannot live with cats, as she has made her feelings about them very clear!One thing we’d like to clear up is her age. We received a lot of comments when we first advertised Beanie suggesting that she was much older than stated. We can assure everyone that Beanie is only 4 years old.The grey colouring around her face is largely due to scarring from the severe skin issues she arrived with, combined with her naturally pale colouring. It can make her appear older in photographs, but trust us—this little girl is young, lively, cheeky, and full of character.Beanie has overcome so much already. Now she’s looking for a special home that understands her quirks, appreciates her larger-than-life personality, and is ready to treat her exactly as she believes she should be treated…Like the princess she is. ️Please share to help us find the perfect forever home for our little Beanie.If you feel you may have the perfect home for our Beanie please fully read all the information on our home page and then fill the online form in.

DISCLAIMER: Please read Beetle’s story very carefully as we are looking for a very specific home for him!Beetle is a Borsky breed (Siberian Husky and Border Collie cross). Due to this cross, it means that Beetle is a high maintenance breed. They are highly intelligent, extremely energetic, loyal but can be very stubborn. He requires an active family, a lot of mental stimulation (enrichment, training) and an experienced handler. Beetle may look more like a Collie, however, his temperament is more Husky. He’s vocal and full of attitude which although part of his charm, can be misunderstood by inexperienced dog handlers. Therefore we are looking for a home where the family have previous Husky experience. Beetle is a strapping, handsome, young male (approximately 2 years of age), so his potential adopters will need to be physically fit as he can be strong when he sees something of interest. However, he does have the potential to walk nice on lead, mostly in quiet areas (his favourite).While Beetle has been with us at the centre, he has had lots of training. He’s very curious and has walked out with some of the dogs at the centre. When meeting other dogs, it can be overwhelming for him and he can be intense and vocal when first meeting, but will settle after he calms. Beetle may go with another dog, however, they will need to be calm and able to handle Beetle's high and boisterous energy. He will not be allowed to go with cats or small mammals. Although Beetle can come off as intense, all he needs most is socialisation. He’s very curious about the world around him and needs a confident and adventurous family to show and teach him about new experiences (all in a positive and supportive manner). While Beetle has been at the centre, he hasn’t been happy in kennels. He is currently on behaviour medication to help him cope with the stresses of kennels and his potential adopters will need to continue and wean him off appropriately with the help of vet advise. More information will be provided upon request.Beetle has some guarding behaviours when it comes to his toys, which he loves very much. He’s also very independent and will only accept touch and attention on his terms. When he does want that human interaction, he can be a very loving, loyal and affectionate companion. With this in mind We are looking for an adult only home, no children (living or visiting the home) under the age of 16 years.

A sweet natured guardian, Ben is a champion chicken protector, happy to be paid in eggs for his work !Ben was born in a Greek rescue shelter to a stray mum. He spent the first two years of his life living in a single pen with his five brothers, never experiencing the outside world or interacting with other animals. We couldn’t bear the idea of Ben and his siblings existing in a shelter their entire lives so we made a commitment to give each of them a chance by placing them, one at a time, into temporary, paid foster to see whether they could adapt and be homeable in the UK.4 months ago it was Ben’s turn to be first in foster and we are delighted to say that he passed the test with flying colours. Ben has proven to be incredibly affectionate with humans, other dogs, cats and even chickens. He’s currently living alongside 8 cats, 6 dogs, around 20 hens, and his favourite hobby is following the chickens around, patiently waiting for a fresh egg to appear! But now he is ready, we really need to find Ben his forever home. Could that be you?Once Ben is adopted, we will be able to afford to move another brother into paid foster, giving them the same chance at life outside the shelter. So in choosing Ben, you will be helping save another life too!Please as us about adopting the beautiful Ben.

This gentle, kind,affectionate hound has the same story as so many - abandoned by the hunters and found as a stray before arriving at the shelter. Neutered and healthy, he is great with dogs and people and can be tested with cats. In this viode, you get two for the price of one as Coro (also available for adoption) interacts beautifully with Bengie

Homeless Hounds

Benny is new to Homeless Hounds and is under assessment. You can still apply for Benny but be aware at this stage we don’t know what type of home he will require.Benny is a young Frenchie who came in to us from the pound as an unclaimed stray.Benny is a lovely boy and enjoys nothing better than to sit with his human and have lots of cuddles. He has some very endearing ways and is very sweet natured and very laid back if he has company. He does suffer from some separation anxiety and needs a patient owner who is around for most of the day who will help him overcome his anxiety about being left on his own.Benny likes sleeping with and resting his head his human before going to sleep. At present he finds it difficult to settle and sleep on his own. Benny loves his walks and gets very excited. However, he does know basic commands and will stop and wait at the curb side if asked to do so. He is vocal when he sees other dogs but his response to seeing other dogs seems to stem from excitement as opposed to aggression but we will be further testing this. For the time being we would be rehoming Benny as an only dog.Benny loves ball games and is happy to have a good play in the garden – although he isn’t great at retrieving and returning the ball as yet. Benny may need a little help with his toilet training until he settles in.
