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!

Available: AlfieAlfie is a 5.5 year old male Roan Cockapoo. He is available and looking for a new home. Alfie hasn't been around kids and can be defensive around other animals - a bit barkey. He is chipped and healthy with no medical issues. Alfie is very loving and affectionate. He loves the outdoors and would thrive with someone who likes to be active. He loves food and is not very fussy when it comes to eating. He gets chicken meat and kibble and also loves fish. If you need to go out , he can be left on his own and is well behaved. He would however like someone who is around most of the time. He likes to be close to his owner, either sitting on the sofa or sleeping in the bed. Alfie isn't bad on the lead, he can pull so will need someone who is strong enough to control him. He loves treats and loves to meet new people, but can get excited and jump up. He would be best in a home with teenagers rather than young kids. Alfie is registered with the vets and is excellent at sit and paw. He is obsessed with balls and will play all day with them. He knows his name and likes to play hide and seek with his tommy turtle toy. This is a very reluctant rehoming as his owner loves him very much, however due to a change, Alfie needs a new home.

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!

Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home
April is looking for an experienced dog owner who ideally have had bully breeds before. She would like to be kept company all day whilst she settles in and access to her own private garden, so she has a safe space to call her own. She is looking to be the only pet in an adult only home. April is a great girl who needs some time getting to know you. Her confidence is growing each day, but new people can still be frightening for her, particularly men, so she needs a kind and patient owner who understand that she will need time and won’t overwhelm her. Given how worried she is around unfamiliar people, she cannot be placed in a home where there are children, including visiting. She does like her food (especially peanut butter) and is quick to learn, which will help her make new friends as well as work on her basic training. When she builds that relationship with you, her daft and goofy side flourishes- she is comical and very entertaining! She loves to play with her rope toys or squeaky toys and won’t hesitate to let you know what she wants! She adores her favourite people and won’t think twice about getting on your lap for a cuddle despite her size. She doesn’t mind walking with other dogs and is generally unfazed by them though hasn’t shown much interest in wanting to interact with them. During her stay, April has been assessed by an independent breed assessor who has deemed she is not a banned breed. She is just a wonderful girl who will bring unconditional love to her new owner.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
