Beautiful Adah has been back with us a few months after her second home fell through. Adah really does need a very special home but we are determined to find it! She is 7 years old, vacs and chipped and will be spayed. Adah is a really lovely girl with us and has a great relationship with everyone at the kennels but in a home she can be aggressive with strangers and needs to be either muzzled or shut away from any visitors. She also gets quite stressed when left during the day so needs someone who will be around most of the time. She loves to play and enjoys running around our secure field. She would love a good sized secure garden with 6ft plus fencing as she is very athletic and can scale a fence very easily. Adah needs to be the only pet and people who are willing to give her the time she needs to settle and bond. She hates being in her kennel so we really hope that special someone is out there for her and she can get her happy ending. If you are interested in meeting Adah please read through our adoption criteria in the link in the ADOPT section and message us with as much information as possible. We are currently running on appointments only.

Please meet our cheerful gorgeous crossbreed, a very happy boy with a tail that just won’t stop wagging!Poor Adey was kept outside in -5 degrees without any shelter sitting on a concrete step begging to be let into the kitchen.He was kept alive by a neighbour throwing food over the fence, who raised the alarm.He got the name Adey because his neighbour who kept him alive was called Adrian. The community asked for our help.He loves being around people and, while he might be a bit strong on the lead at first, he settles down quickly. That said, he does appreciate having his personal space when out and about and isn't a fan of being crowded.Adey really enjoys starting games, is ball obsessed and has an enthusiastic spirit, which shows he could benefit from a little extra training.Just a heads up - he’s definitely not a fan of rainy days!He would thrive best in a home without other pets, as he can be a bit reactive towards other dogs

Please meet Alfie who is already a hit with all the volunteers.Our Alf is fully vaccinated and chipped, now just needs neutering as soon as we can get him into a foster place.This boy is so polite, he is very calm in the kennel environment and also while out walking, although he can be very strong on the lead when walking alongside the other dogs.He has met quite a few people since he arrived from the stray pound and he has been ok with everyone.Alfie enjoys his walks and doesn’t really interact with the other dogs, no aggression he just prefers human company and will need to be the only dog in the home.He did have a short spell in a home. He did attach himself to one person more than the other and then tried to dominate the weaker person which caused problems and Alfie was returned to kennels. He will need stronger leadership next time and a couple who will work together in putting rules and guidelines in place so everyone knows exactly where they stand.It really isn’t hard to follow.Alfie is a very good boy when taking treats, he kindly offers his paw and takes the treat so gently.We have seen no issues around food other than the fact he is a very picky feeder and has lost some weight because of this. We have to watch his food intake and his tastes seem to change on a weekly basis. Currently he has a liking for Winalot pouches and will eat these happily so we give him a good supply. He also enjoys a hoof stuffed with raw and the odd pigs ear. He has recently shown some interest in toys which was great to watch, he did take a shine to one of the Kong balls with the handle another ball inside, he thought he had found some treasure.A no to cats and no history around children so teenagers only.If you are fully vetted by us and ready to roll speak to your area coordinator and pop along and visit me.

Andre is a very timid but sweet boy with so much to offer the right home.He came into our care from a multi-dog household and has not had any previous training, so he will need support in all areas, including housetraining. For this reason, Andre is looking for an experienced owner who is confident and patient enough to help him flourish.Andre walks nicely on the lead but he can become nervous around unfamiliar things and may hide behind you for reassurance. Once he feels settled and has built a bond, his affectionate, bouncy and playful side begins to shine through, with a constantly wagging tail.Andre can be nervous around men and may bark at first but with time, patience and gentle reassurance, he should gradually grow in confidence.If his new family already has a dog, Andre would prefer a smaller, calm dog who can help him feel safe and secure.Andre will also require regular grooming to keep his coat in good condition.

Looking at Annie now, it’s hard to imagine the day she was found. She was wandering alone, desperate for food, literally just skin and bones. She was starving, forgotten, and losing hope until she was found by a friend, who brought her into the safety of her yard. Thankfully Annie’s life changed that day, she now has hope and a chance of a better life.Annie is so ready to find a forever home where “hunger” is a word she never has to understand again. Despite her rough start, she is incredibly social, very sweet and friendly. She currently shares a kennel with 7 other dogs of all sizes and gets along great with them. She is wonderful with Dogs, Cats and children.Annie isn’t just looking for a home, she’s looking for her special once in a life time someone to help her bloom. Her perfect home would be a rural or semi-rural home with a secure garden and plenty of lawn to run on. It would have owners with rescue experience who understand the patience and time it takes for a dog to transition from “survival mode” to “family pet,” with someone home most of the day. Annie needs at least one other friendly dog in the home to play with and, more importantly, to learn from. Older children only, please.Annie needs a special kind of person. Someone with the space, the kindness, and the heart to show this beautiful girl that there is still so much goodness left in the world.

A Letter to Asher’s prospective forever family from his foster mum:Hello, My name is Sharon & I am Asher’s foster mum & I just wanted to share with you what am amazingly gentle, loving, resilient & brave dog Asher is.My hubby & I have had dogs in our lives for a such a long time & we have always chosen to rescue dogs. We have rescued from the UK & Romania & currently have 3 dogs- Ralf, Ed & Cerys. Last year we became foster carers, a role I absolutely adore. Since coming to stay with us last October Asher has just blossomed & is very different from the withdrawn, super anxious & vigilant dog we collected. His progress is very much at his pace which is at a slow speed (one paw at a time) but he has felt safe enough to share his fun-loving side & has started to trust us although but it is our view that this will be a long journey for him.He very much likes familiar surroundings & people & can become a little sensitive especially to unexpected noise; Asher when uncertain or nervous will withdraw. He is not at all aggressive in his nature or behaviour. He is getting used to visitors to our home & when one of my dog-walking friend visits Asher gets so excited he will do a ‘trotting dance’ & whistle.Asher’s greatest loves are our other dogs, being outside, toast & settees He loves being around our dogs & loves being outside doing ‘zoomies’ around our garden with them. He will jump on the bed in the morning with our gang & they will all have a snooze for an extra 15-30 minutes. He recognises the sound of the toaster & will dash from wherever he is to the kitchen; something he has learnt from Ralf. Asher continues to love a settee & is at his most relaxed when he is stretched out. He is no trouble at all to take out for walks. Although he is a little reluctant to have his harness put on, once this has been secured, he then begins to do his little dance showing his excitement. His recall is very good & when he is off the lead in the secure field, he is happy to explore but is also happy to come back when called.Asher is caring & considerate; for example, when we are out walking if I have him on the lead he goes at a slower pace & will periodically wait for me to catch up. When we come back from a rainy walk Asher is more interested in making sure the other dogs are dried off by licking them than being dried off himself. Today Cerys slipped while they were running around, Asher went up to her & licked her face to make sure, she was okay. He is instinctively empathetic. His interaction with dogs & people is very gentle. He is not a barker, Ed is a ‘talker’ & Asher will bark when he does but has never initiated any barking; He prefers to whistle when he gets excited. Cerys is full of issues, but Asher just works around her & is calm & caring in his interactions with her.

Bear came into our care as a terrified and disorientated pup. After being attacked by his parents at the breeders and nearly dying he has passed through 3 homes. The last being a home with 3 young children where he growled at the father on the day he arrived and the police were called and he was poled and marked for destruction at the police kennels. He wasn't vaccinated because he wasn't going to live. He had been in the police kennels for 2 weeks when we picked him up and he still reeked of cannabis.Bear will need several visits so he can gain trust with you and will need to go to an adult only home.

Bella at OEH is a lovely confident dog with people once she is comfortable with you (she needs time to get to know you because she’s basically just a big scared baby).It doesn’t take long for her to realise you’re not a threat then she asks you for cuddles & treats.She is very strong on the lead and can be scared of some things when out on a walk (like loud noises etc, we’re not sure if she was walked much previously).She loves playing with water and trying to bite it.Bella is a beautiful girl and with a confident person willing to give her the time she needs to settle & grow her world she’s going to be a perfect companion.
