Beautiful Breeze came into our care as a stray from the pound. We don't know anything about her past but what we do know is that she's an absolute sweetheart!We believe that she is around 6 years old, and it is clear that she suffered in her previous life. Our vet confirmed that sadly, she was used over and over again for breeding and due to a poor diet and lifestyle, almost half of her teeth needed to be removed. Now that she has recovered from her surgery, she is ready to find her forever home.Despite her past traumas, Whippet X Lurcher Breeze is loving, affectionate and wants to be around her people as much as possible. She loves going for nice, long walks and then spending the rest of the day relaxing. Although she loves human company, she can be left for short periods and house training has gone very well so far in her foster home.Given her breed, she cannot live with cats or small furries. She has been happy to meet other dogs on walks, so we're happy to consider homes with other four-legged residents providing introductions are successful. We would be happy for Breeze to share her home with children over 8 years old.We're committed to finding Breeze the happy ever after she deserves. If you think you can offer her the life she has always dreamed of, please register your interest below.

I'm Gizmo I'm a 2-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier from Burford rehoming centre and I'm looking for my forever homeI'm a 2-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier from Burford rehoming centre and I'm looking for my forever home. Please read my profile below to find out more.This sensitive chap is Gizmo.We’re looking for understanding and supportive owners that ideally have experience with rescue dogs as Gizmo is going to need a little help to settle back into pet life.The biggest thing that Gizmo struggles with is being left alone, so there will need to be multiple people in his new home to keep him company whilst he settles and help him to learn how to be home alone – or better yet never have to experience being on his own! He needs confidence building when out on walks, however inside, he is a bouncy, playful and cuddly boy who loves to be in your arms having fuss.We’ve found that Gizmo loves nothing more than routine as this helps him feel more confident, se we take him for walks, feed him, play with him, and spend time with him at the same time each day. The team here at the centre can advise on the best ways to set Gizmo and his new owners up for success.When out and about Gizmo prefers to avoid other dogs, however with time, patience and suitable calm dogs he can build up to making friends as he has done here at the centre. In his new home though, he will need to be the only pet as he will likely chase cats and isn’t suitable to live with other dogs as he will need to be the main focus for his owners. He would be best suited to live with adults and teenagers who can appreciate that underneath this worried exterior there is a super loving and cuddly dog just waiting to come out.If Gizmo sounds like the dog you’ve been searching for, please get in touch today!

Although we don't believe that she has lived in a home before, she is already the perfect house guest. She understood toilet training immediately and already loves luxuriating on the sofa.Gracie has been thoroughly enjoying having a lovely long walk in the morning and zooming around the secure field close to her foster home. Once she has expended all that Lurcher energy, she spends the rest of the day lounging around and enjoying cuddles.As she's so sweet and friendly, we're happy for Gracie to share her home with children over 8 years old as well as other dogs. As she's a Sighthound, we cannot rehome her with cats or small furries.We're committed to finding Gracie the happiest of ever afters.

Blue Cross is one of the UK’s leading animal welfare charities, supporting sick, injured, and homeless pets since 1897. The charity works to protect vulnerable animals while helping pets and people thrive together, offering veterinary care, behavioural support, and rehoming services across the UK. Blue Cross also provides advice to pet owners, operates pet food banks, and supports pets when their owners can no longer care for them. With a long history of innovation and advocacy in animal welfare, the charity continues to promote compassionate, inclusive care to ensure pets enjoy healthy, happy lives with people who love them.
The One Wish Dog Foundation is a registered charity (1212997) founded in 2025 by a passionate team of dog lovers dedicated to rescuing and rehoming unwanted and abandoned dogs across Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. The charity provides sanctuary, rehabilitation, and carefully matched forever homes, while also promoting responsible ownership and campaigning for improved welfare. Operating a strict no-kill policy for healthy animals, the volunteer team works tirelessly to ensure every dog receives the care and love they deserve. Though small in size, The One Wish Dog Foundation is driven by big ambitions to transform lives—one dog at a time.
The Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary has been rescuing and rehoming animals since 1967, helping over 35,000 animals find loving homes and admitting around 700 each year. Caring for dogs, cats, rabbits and permanent resident goats, the sanctuary supports animals from a wide range of backgrounds, including those with behavioural or medical needs. Each animal is assessed individually, with time taken to build trust and understand their specific requirements. Guided by a strict non-destruction policy, the sanctuary is committed to never euthanising a healthy animal and to providing long-term, compassionate care whenever needed.
Oxfordshire’s mix of historic towns, villages and countryside makes it well suited to a wide range of rescue dogs. Dogs adopted in the county are often matched with homes that can offer stability, routine and access to outdoor exercise. Many rescues covering Oxfordshire work with foster carers to assess how dogs cope with everyday home life before adoption. This careful approach helps ensure dogs are placed into environments where they can settle confidently and long term.
