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.

We have the most Divine news. Aura, our “little Goddess of the cool breeze” is now in foster in Wales; finally experiencing a kinder, better world after a brutal start in life.Originally from Greece, Aura and her siblings were found as puppies living on the roadside. Shortly after being spotted, Aura’s first sibling was killed by a passing car, the second contracted Parvovirus and died.By some cruel twist, Aura then suffered the same fate, twice over– contracting Parvo and also being hit by a car. Her chances of survival were slim to none. But our little Goddess did something miraculous. She fought the Parvo. She survived her injuries. She spent a month at the vets recovering.Today? Aura’s leg has healed beautifully. She is healthy. She is in the UK. Most incredibly, her sweet, kind heart is unblemished. This is what her fosterer says about her“Avra is an angel, her temperament is very gentle and loving, with people, cats and dogs. She desperately wants to be near me, but progress has to be at her pace. Last night, I was asleep, I heard something move and put my hand out…it was Avra. She stayed all night lying there. It was a beautiful moment. All our little Goddess needs now is time and patience with a person she can forever love”.True to her name, Aura has proved herself divine. Now, she needs the chance to simply be a puppy — to play, to learn, to be loved, and to grow up knowing she is safe in her forever home.

Lancashire
SexMale
Age8 months
BreedRottweiler

Introducing our 8 month old, adolescent Rottweiler, Bear! Bear is a superstar and he quickly stole the heart of everyone here at the centre, after arriving due to no fault of his own! This handsome boy is in peak adolesence and is showing behaviours typical for his age. He lacks confidence in new environments, but LOVEs learning new things! He thinks he is still a tiny puppy and can fit on your knee, but will get adult sized zoomies! He is extremely affectionate, but can be unsure of being overly handled, for this reason he would be best with children of secondary school age or older. Bear could live with another confident, friendly dog, dependent on successful meets. When Bear is unsure, he may bark, but he is learning some really good focus work and acing his training plan! He would benefit from attending training classes, but he has already ticked off all the basics, its just the harder skills he needs to master!

Beetlejuice, a 2 years old male Borzoi available for adoption from RSPCA in Lancashire

RSPCA

Beetlejuice

Lancashire
SexMale
Age2 years
BreedBorzoi

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 will be 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 handsome, young male (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 has shown in the kennels that he does exhibit signs of resource guarding (this is breed specific to the Siberian Husky). Therefore, he will not be allowed to go with any dogs just to manage this type of behaviour. However, he can still be able to walk out with other dogs, dependant on the dogs being able to cope with how vocal and energetic he can be. 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. 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 is 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. However, this will have to be developed over time with patience and space. 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.

Easterleigh

Charity No.1176549
Dogs Available2

Easterleigh Animal Sanctuary was founded by Mandy Leigh after her livery stables gradually became a refuge for abandoned and unwanted animals of all kinds. What began in the mid-1990s with horses, dogs, and cats quickly grew into a full animal sanctuary after Mandy famously took in and successfully rehomed 27 Jack Russell terriers, marking a turning point in the charity’s mission. Officially registered as a charity in 1998 and named in memory of Mandy’s beloved rescued horse Easter Girl, the sanctuary went on to help hundreds of animals ranging from dogs and cats to farm animals, birds, and small pets. Following Mandy’s unexpected passing in 2017, her work has continued under the care of a dedicated board of trustees. Today, Easterleigh Animal Sanctuary remains committed to rescuing, caring for, and rehoming animals in need, made possible through the support of volunteers and the wider community.

Lancashire offers a diverse setting for rescue dog adoption, combining urban centres with rural and coastal areas. Dogs adopted here are often matched with homes based on energy levels, experience, and lifestyle rather than location alone. Many rescues across Lancashire focus on rehabilitating dogs from challenging backgrounds and preparing them carefully for rehoming. Adopting locally supports charities working to give dogs a stable and secure future.
