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!

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.

Young Alfie is looking for a new home where his training can be continued and he can have company most of the time. His new owner(s) must be used to large dogs. At 10 months, he may not look it but Alfie is still a puppy and he needs to learn some manners. His new home must have a garden.Alfie is a BFG who loves cuddles and affection. He would make a great family dog, but we recommend any children in the home are older, ideally teenagers, as Alfie is large and has no self-awareness.Alfie is very excited to greet people to the home but will settle next to them for attention after a few minutes. On walks, he is more excited to see other dogs than people and he just wants to say hello and play. But in his excitement, he can be rude to other dogs and needs to learn manners, especially with smaller dogs. Alfie tends to pull on the lead, which can be helped with training but he will need strong owners who are able to walk him with confidence. Alfie has only been let off the lead in a secure field and his recall has been hit or miss, so this is another thing to be worked on in his new home.Alfie can get bored and become destructive when left alone. He is used to having company and does not like being left alone. He will growl or bark at a noise outside the home but stop when it has passed. He is scared of loud noises such as a hairdryer or hoover. Alfie has been to the groomers and is fine with being washed and brushed.Alfie likes a good sniff and would enjoy going to scentwork classes. He can already do ‘sit’, ‘wait’ and ‘lie down’ on command and some further training and brain work will help him become more settled. Alfie travels very well in the car and loves going on good walks.Alfie is a big lovable boy who needs the right guidance and care for his age and breed. His new home needs to have the patience and willingness to train Alfie but he has so much potential; he will thrive in an active, loving home.Please apply for Alfie if you think your home is perfect for Alfie!

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.“

Cushie Arnie is a gorgeous brindle boy. He is a real head turner, and is a big strong lad. When walked at the track, he was enthusiastic and friendly, but was quite strong on the lead. He was unbothered when walked with another male greyhound.Probably best suited to an active household.

Available: Astrid Astrid is a 5 year old female German Shepherd x Belgian Malinois. She is available and looking for a new home. Astrid is chipped and spayed and also healthy with no medical issues. She would suit a home with someone who is active and can give her plenty of walks and attention. Astrid eats a mix of wet and dry food and can be left on her own. She travels well in the van with her dog walker but can be car sick. She sleeps in her owners room at night either on the bed or her own bed on the floor. Astrid likes to meet new people and gets excited. She would be fine around teenagers but not small children. Astrid doesn’t like cats. She is registered with the vets. She is fine on group walks but when she is with her owner she can be reactive to other dogs as she thinks she is protecting her owner. A home with no other animals is best for Astrid and her needs. She is use to spending time alone at home with background music left on for her. Astrid is excellent at letting you know when she needs the toilet. She is kept on a lead when out on walks as she can be reactive to other dogs but not all dogs. She is also use to a long lead and loves to play with her toy or a ball. Astrid sees playing with toys or a ball as a job and doesn't pay much attention to other dogs unless they come into her space.
BARRK (Banff & Aberdeenshire Rehoming and Rescue Kennels) was established as a registered charity in May 1996 and has continued to grow in strength for over 28 years. The charity rehomes an average of 120 dogs each year, helping them find safe and loving forever homes. BARRK also operates a fostering service for senior dogs and those with long-term medical conditions who require ongoing care. Working closely with other rescues and the local Dog Warden, the organisation remains committed to supporting vulnerable dogs across Aberdeenshire.
British Chihuahua Rescue is a volunteer-run charity dedicated to relieving the suffering of Chihuahuas in need due to hardship, neglect, changes in circumstances, or owner ill health. Established in 1988 and registered as a charity in 2002 (1094417), the rescue is overseen by a board of trustees and operates without paid staff. The organisation is committed not only to the welfare of the breed but also to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for all adopters and supporters. Through responsible rehoming and compassionate care, British Chihuahua Rescue works to give vulnerable Chihuahuas a safe and loving second chance.
The rescue centre has been purpose-built with dog welfare as its highest priority and has been continually developed since it was first acquired in 2003. Over the years, the site has been renovated to include modern facilities such as a dedicated rehoming block with individual covered runs, underfloor heating, and secure grass exercise areas. Additional puppy and isolation units were introduced in 2013 to support dogs requiring specialist care or recovery. The centre also benefits from extensive outdoor space, including a large enclosed paddock for safe off-lead exercise, as well as specialist kennels for dogs undergoing medical treatment.
DAWGS is a volunteer-founded dog rehoming charity established in 1994 with a clear mission of “rehoming with love.” Originally formed to support a local vet struggling to find homes for stray dogs, the charity began by advertising dogs and carrying out home checks to ensure responsible, long-term placements. As demand grew, DAWGS expanded into kennels and later developed a network of foster homes, widening its reach across the country. Today, the charity continues to be driven by its volunteers, combining hands-on support, careful rehoming, and community fundraising to give dogs a second chance at a happy life.
Dumfriesshire & Cumbria Greyhound Rescue is dedicated to finding loving forever homes or foster placements for retired or injured ex-racing greyhounds. The charity never puts a healthy dog to sleep and will continue searching for the right home for as long as it takes. Run entirely by volunteers, all funds are raised through events, donations, and sales from the charity shop. Every penny of income goes directly toward the welfare, care, and support of the greyhounds in their care, ensuring each dog gets the second chance they deserve.
Dog Aid Scotland is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) based in Edinburgh, dedicated to rehoming dogs using a home-from-home approach. Without kennel facilities, the charity supports owners in caring for their dog until a suitable new home is found, reducing the stress many dogs experience in kennels. This system allows dogs to move directly from their current home into their new one, helping ensure a smoother transition. Through careful matching and guidance, Dog Aid Scotland works to secure safe and loving homes while prioritising each dog’s wellbeing.
Dogs Trust is one of the UK’s leading dog welfare charities, supporting dogs and their owners since it was founded in 1891 by Lady Gertrude Stock. Guided by the belief that a dog is for life, the charity provides care for dogs in distress, helps find loving new homes when needed, and supports owners during difficult circumstances. Dogs Trust works across the UK to protect the lifelong bond between dogs and people, offering practical help, education, and advocacy at every stage of a dog’s life. In the last year alone, the charity provided care for over 11,700 dogs without homes, continuing its long-standing mission to create a better future for dogs and the people who love them.
Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home is dedicated to keeping pets with their families wherever possible, offering support to help loving homes stay together during difficult times. When that isn’t possible, they provide a safe haven where every dog and cat receives high-quality care, including nutritious food, veterinary treatment, enrichment and training to prepare them for a new start. The charity works with compassion and without judgement, aiming to break down stigma for people facing hardship. At its heart, Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home believes in the goodness of every pet and every person.
Fiona’s Ark Animal Rehoming Argyll is a non-profit registered charity based in Barcaldine Forest near Oban on Scotland’s west coast, dedicated to rehoming animals across Argyll and the surrounding areas.

Their focus is on providing safe, high-quality care while working to place as many animals as possible into loving new families. Serving Argyll and the Isles, Fiona’s Ark remains committed to giving every animal a fresh start.
German Shepherd Rescue Scotland was established in 2008 to rehome German Shepherds across Scotland and is a registered charity funded entirely by donations. The rescue takes in dogs from a variety of circumstances, including owner surrender, abandonment and cruelty cases, and works closely with other breed-specific organisations to help as many dogs as possible. Each dog undergoes a full assessment, including veterinary history checks, before being carefully matched to a vetted home with references and a home check completed. Committed to finding the right dog for the right home, the charity also provides ongoing advice and follow-up support after adoption to ensure every dog remains safe, secure and well loved.
Help2Rehome Scotland is a private registered rehoming organisation that supports pet owners across Scotland in finding new homes for their animals when they can no longer care for them. Without operating kennels or a central base, the organisation ensures pets remain either with their previous owners or in foster homes, believing animals thrive best in warm, home environments rather than kennels. A network of volunteers, including home checkers and transport drivers, works together to safely match pets with suitable new families. All prospective adopters undergo a home check before rehoming, helping ensure every animal transitions into a secure and loving forever home.
Homes4Hounds was founded in 2020 by Janice and Scott, who bring over 20 years of greyhound experience to their mission of rehoming retired racing greyhounds across the UK. Originally focused on dogs from GVC-owned tracks such as Monmore and Hove, the organisation now works with most GBGB tracks to help greyhounds transition into loving homes. Welfare is central to everything they do, with each dog supported on its journey from racing life to family companion. Having homed hundreds of greyhounds themselves, and with Janice trained in pet first aid, the team offers knowledgeable guidance and ongoing support to adopters.
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.
