Bella

Northumberland
SexFemale
Age5 years
BreedCaucasian Shepherd

Bella is a Caucasian Ovcharka of around 5 years. She is an absolutely stunningly beautiful girl inside and out. Loyal and loving. An affectionate and very sweet girl in the home with her people. In the home she is very much chilled out and laid back. A content and happy character. Not in the least bit demanding. She loves fuss and attention, belly rubs and generally to be close to her people. Very much a gentle giant with her people. An adorable big lump. She is perfectly happy being left alone for reasonable periods. She is housetrained. She sleeps through in the same room as her human at night without a peep. Bella is muzzle trained. She walks well on lead and loves to have a gallop about in a secure off lead area. She needs careful introductions to other dogs and actually loves doggy company when this is done correctly. As per her breed she is initially wary of strangers but she is in fact incredibly people friendly and again when safely introduced she loves to be made a fuss of. She has behaved impeccably at vet appointments . She has had a full groom whilst in rescue and did wonderfully... the groomers very much smitten with our lovely girl and much impressed with her good behaviour and nature. She has lived with a respectful teenager whom she adores but has not been around young children. Bella is a giant breed and needs a good sized secure garden or land home. We are looking for a home with large breed and/or guardian experience. Bella will only go to a loving pet home. Bella is spayed and in good health. Currently eats a raw diet which she is thriving on. Bella has spent time around horses, chickens and cats in a farm type setting and doesn't show any particular interest. Bella travels well. She will come with all of her own kit including harness , muzzle collar etc. The rescue will provide full guidance on how to support Bella and help settle her into her forever home . We are looking for a committed home that has done their due diligence and is knowledgeable about guardian traits and has some relevant experience ie giant/guardian/working breed of some sort...

Jess, a 4 years old female Border Terrier available for adoption from North East Terrier Rescue in Northumberland

North East Terrier Rescue

Jess

Northumberland
SexFemale
Age4 years
BreedBorder Terrier

Jess is a 5year old Border type. She's looking for a rural, quieter home location with lovely country walks on the doorstep. Secure good sized garden essential. She must be an only pet and with owners that have lots of love, patience and time to dedicate. She can be left reasonable periods but would prefer a home with someone around more often than not. We're not looking to place Jess with children as she enjoys a less hectic quieter life. Jess is house trained and travels well. Just about crate trained. Jess does sleep on the end of her humans bed at night and this has always been so. She's a very affectionate sweet girl once you gain her trust and loves cuddles and fuss. Jess does take a little time to trust fully but is easily won round with a game of ball or tasty treats and from there you're set for life. Jess needs a calm, confident and experienced terrier owner. Jess is a proper adventure dog. She absolutely LOVES being outdoors exploring, hiking, swimming, chasing a ball, chewing a stick. She's fit and active and needs an outdoorsy owner that will enjoy exploring the great outdoors with her. She is the most fabulous, fun and lovely companion. After a nice walk Jess settles fine at home. She loves a natural chew , has a collection of favourite balls that keep her entertained, enjoys snoozing and belly rubs. Jess pulls a little with excitement but is generally good on lead. She doesn't go off lead unless in a secure area. Jess does not like other dogs up in her personal space . She passes other dogs without issue but has no desire to interact and needs an owner that will advocate for her space. Jess is very slowly building up to being handled for care and grooming. This is not something that she was happy with on arrival due to some very bad experiences previously. This will be discussed in more detail with adopters. Jess needs a very kind and patient approach when being handled for such things.

Charity No.Unknown
Dogs Available5

We are a small, family-run, non-profit, foster-based dog rescue dedicated to providing the highest standard of care for every dog that comes into our rescue. While we specialise in terriers, we welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes, offering the same level of compassion, commitment, and individual attention to each one. Every dog receives a full health check and any necessary veterinary care on arrival, followed by time to settle in and undergo behavioural assessment. This careful approach allows us to understand each dog’s needs before starting training, rehabilitation, and the search for the perfect home. We rehome dogs across the UK and provide lifelong rescue back-up, ensuring every dog is supported for the rest of their life.

Northumberland Dog Rescue is an established, volunteer-led charity dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs across Northumberland and surrounding areas. Working closely with local authorities, veterinary practices, and neighbouring welfare organisations, the charity is committed to giving every dog the time, care, and support they need to thrive. Hundreds of dogs have already been successfully rehomed, with a strong focus on finding lifelong homes rather than quick placements, supported by a robust adoption process. Adopters also receive ongoing post-adoption support and full rescue back-up for the dog’s lifetime, reflecting the charity’s long-term commitment to welfare. Rehoming is offered from Newcastle upon Tyne to Berwick-upon-Tweed, with exciting new projects planned to help even more dogs in the future.

Northumberland Greyhound Rescue

Charity No.1102125
Dogs Available13

Northumberland Greyhound Rescue was originally established to rehome greyhounds from independent “flapping” tracks, where welfare standards were historically lower. As conditions have improved and these tracks have become far less common, the charity now mainly rescues dogs from trainers at professional tracks across the North East. Each greyhound is given the time and care needed to transition from racing life into a loving home. Prospective adopters are welcome to visit and walk the dogs by prior arrangement, helping ensure the right match for both dog and owner. The charity is dedicated to giving every greyhound a safe, comfortable retirement as a cherished family pet.

Northumberland’s quiet towns, rural communities and open spaces make it particularly suitable for rescue dogs needing a peaceful environment. Dogs adopted here are often matched with homes that can offer time, patience and outdoor access. Many rescues covering Northumberland work across large areas, making foster care and careful assessment especially important. Adopting locally helps ensure dogs find stable, long-term homes.
