Scotland’s varied landscapes, from cities to remote rural areas, make careful matching essential in rescue dog adoption. Dogs rehomed across Scotland are often matched based on lifestyle, exercise needs and home environment rather than distance alone. Many rescues operate across large geographic areas and use foster care to prepare dogs for adoption. Regional adoption supports responsible placements and long-term welfare.

Well – Zebedee is the first thing that comes to mind!Quite a petite boy, but a beautiful blue with a gorgeous face. He looked keen on the track, but was equally bouncy in the car park. Spent the whole walk bouncing at the end of the lead!I would imagine an experienced home needed, and maybe a higher energy one!

If you are looking for a boy with character then, look no further than Ace. He is a very friendly happy boy who can fit into a home with existing hounds or as an only boy.Ace is curious around other breeds especially if off leadHe is also fine around children so he truly is Ace in every way.

Adele is a stunning girl with a happy-go-lucky nature. She needs to be an only dog as she prefers all the human attention to be on her and will happily lie upside down for belly rubs.Her prey drive is quite strong so she would benefit from an experienced owner.

Alan came to us from his owner, he arrived with Blue the Staffie. The boys exercise here together but bring out the worst in one another so rehoming them separately is probably in their best interest.Alan has had little training with lead walking and has not been allowed off lead, he is reactive to other dogs but as he and his brother would egg each other on he hasn’t had the opportunity to meet other dogs on his own, we will continue to try and work on his suitability around other dogs but for now, is likely best rehomed with an easy going female dog or on his own.He will chase cats and has never been around children so any children should be dog savvy and at least 10 years of age.Alan’s owner didn’t have a car so he isn’t used to it, but is not sick just anxious.As he is still working on recall, his own private and secure garden would be advantageous.

Angus is a Male Beagle6 Years oldHe is vaccinated, micro chipped and neutered, NO CATS, he is good around most dogs he meets, for some reason he is a bit wary of brown & black dogs, he hasn’t lived with children, but is fine with those that visit, he loves the car, will need access to a secure garden, he has good recall and responds well to basic commands, he can be quite strong on lead, but does settle, he is not keen if runners/joggers approach him, he gets a bit growly, he is fine on his own for 2 to 3 hours, his current owner is unable to give him the exercise he used to have, consequently he is significantly overweight, so any potential adopter will need to work on this.

Are you right for Annabelle?Annabelle and her four little socks are looking for their forever home! There is no need for her to steal your stinky socks as shes already wearing her own.

Alright, show a bit of decorum. Under wraps for now until we find out a little more about him. Dropped off the radar after December 2024 and hasn’t exactly set the track on fire in his trials since. Small chap at 30 kgs but not disgraced by any means, with 10 wins under his belt.“An absolutely stunning fawn boy with a few ‘snowflake’ spots. He has the most beautiful eyes with full eyeliner…. He was timid though, and a bit reluctant to start the walk and all around the track. He didn’t show any aggression, even with Aaron bouncing around. HOWEVER! Once in the car park, his tail came up, and even started wagging. He was more confident, and was happy to have a look around. Craig said once he gets to know you, he isn’t timid. He did walk nicely by my side in the car park, but needed encouragement on the track. My gut feeling is that he doesn’t like the track. I would think he would do better in a quiet home, maybe with another hound for confidence.“
