BreedAkita

American Akita crossbreed White and black 9 Years (approx) Ref: 198/26 AJ is a beautiful Akita cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier who came into our care due to a change in his owner’s circumstances. Since arriving at the centre, he has shown himself to be a sensitive and sometimes nervous boy, but with time, patience, and reassurance, his confidence has grown and he has made lots of friends along the way.He is a goofy and playful boy who loves to play with toys and enjoys having fusses. AJ walks lovely on lead and is very calm around other dogs. AJ can be nervous and unsure around children, so we feel he would be best suited to an adultonly home where he can feel safe and secure. While AJ has made dog friends at the centre, we believe he would thrive most as the only dog in the home, where he can enjoy all the love, attention, and spoiling for himself. Beneath his shy exterior is a truly affectionate and lovable character looking for a calm, relaxed home. He would love a family who can take him on adventures during the day before settling down for cuddles together on the sofa in the evening.If you are interested in AJ, please email info@rspcasussexwest.org.uk I know how to sit (and lots of other commands too!) I'd prefer an adult only household I need teaching that it's ok to be alone I get on well with many other dogs I'd prefer to be the only animal in a home I'm young at heart I love fuss and attention DOG American Akita crossbreed White and black 9 Years (approx) Ref: 198/26

BreedCrossbreed

At just 13 months old, Albie has already come so far on his journey and is now ready to find the loving family he deserves. Albie is a medium-sized, neutered mixed-breed boy who came into foster care in February. When he first arrived, he was terrified of people and found any kind of touch frightening. He would run away and hide, taking comfort from following his foster family's resident dog, who became his guide and source of reassurance. Happiness didn't seem to come easily to him. Fast forward a few months, and Albie is blossoming into the most wonderful young dog. Now, when his family comes downstairs in the morning or arrives home, he greets them with the sweetest wiggly bum and wagging tail. He actively seeks out affection, enjoys cuddles, and will happily roll over for a tummy rub when he's feeling relaxed and confident. Albie has worked incredibly hard to build trust and confidence. He has learned to sit patiently and wait for his food and treats, and he would love a family who will continue his training and help him discover just how much the world has to offer. One of Albie's favourite things is spending time with his foster family's children. He loves to play chase games, gets excited when they come home from school, and enjoys being part of the family routine. While he's waiting for playtime, you'll often find him having fun with the resident dog or following their lead. Because of his gentle and sensitive nature, Albie is looking for a home with experienced owners who understand nervous dogs and are willing to give him the time, patience, and encouragement he needs. He absolutely thrives alongside other dogs and gains huge confidence from them, so a resident dog is essential for him. Albie is dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and has happily interacted with visiting dogs. He is submissive rather than dominant and simply wants to make friends and play. Although Albie has not yet ventured out on regular walks, he is ready to start exploring the world at his own pace. Initially, he would benefit from spending time in a secure enclosed area where he can build confidence outdoors safely. Albie's story could have been very different. Before coming into foster care, he was living in an overcrowded public shelter where every day was filled with fear and uncertainty. Watching him discover that life can be fun, safe, and full of love has been truly special. Now all that's missing is a forever family to continue that journey. ️ Could you be the person to give Albie the amazing future he's been waiting for? Albie's ideal home: Young child-free home Secure enclosed garden required Experience of nervous or fearful dogs Dog and cat friendly Resident dog(s) essential to help build his confidence In foster in Hampshire Albie really is a very special boy, and whoever adopts him will have the privilege of watching him continue to grow into the happy, confident dog he was always meant to be.

Albie is trying his best but is still quite nervous of people he doesn’t know and situations he’s never encountered before. At first he is scared of visitors to the house so will bark at them, or run for comfort but he comes out of his shell once he realizes they are just friends he hasn’t met yet.Albie loves to play outside and gets very excited. He is happy to wear a collar but is still scared of the lead so further training will be required to make him feel safe.Albie hasn’t lived with children but has shown himself to be friendly and gentle with people he knows so he would be suitable for a home with calm children after introductions.Albie has been described as “a beautiful dog with a lovely spirit about him, once he’s comfortable with you he will be your best friend”. He would make a lovely addition to most households and would be so grateful to have a forever family and a comfy sofa to snuggle into.‍ Albie has not worn a lead and will need further training

HANDSOME ALBIE is from Romania and has been in foster now for a few months, He is doing so well he is ready to move on to a furever home. He is in foster in Hampshire and living with a mix of male and female dogs. He is a cheeky boy, still learning, but bright and fun loving. He would be best rehomed with a friendly female or as an only dog. Albie is 15 months old, medium size, neutered and getting accustomed to life in a home, but he is doing really well. He is an intelligent boy and quick to learn with gentle training techniques. He is good and loving with people and would bond well and become a loyal companion. Ok with men, but has not been tested with children, so we would suggest older 12+. He is playful and loves to play with toys. Sorry but best not with cats.

Alphie, a 7 years old male Beagle available for adoption from Dogs Trust in Berkshire

Alphie

Berkshire
SexMale
Age7 years
BreedBeagle

Are you right for Alphie?Alphie is a handsome seven-year-old Beagle cross looking for a new home through no fault of his own, as his owner now needs to travel abroad regularly for work. In true Beagle style, Alphie loves following his nose and exploring the world around him. He is looking for a calm, consistent home where he can take his time getting to know everyone and build a strong bond at his own pace. He could live with children of upper secondary school age who are confident around dogs and able to respect his space. Any visiting children should also be of a similar age. Alphie will need to be the only pet in the home, as he can be selective around other dogs and has a strong prey drive, so he cannot live with cats or other small animals. He will also need a secure, private garden where he can enjoy sniffing, relaxing in a sunny spot and exploring safely. Alphie is comfortable being left for up to four hours once settled, especially if he has a cosy sofa to stretch out on. He will need to remain on lead during walks due to his prey drive and limited recall, but he will happily make the most of long, interesting sniffing adventures with his new family.Is Alphie right for you?Alphie is a curious, clever boy who loves food, treats and anything involving a good scent trail. He may initially be more interested in investigating his surroundings than seeking attention, but as his confidence grows, his affectionate side begins to shine. During his assessment, he gradually started accepting gentle chest rubs and even offered a paw when he wanted a little more fuss. He is a cuddly boy at home and enjoys relaxing close to the people he trusts, although he appreciates being given space while sleeping. Like many Beagles, Alphie knows exactly what he likes and prefers ceramic food bowls to metal ones. He eats enthusiastically, so currently uses a slow feeder to help him enjoy his meals at a steadier pace. Alphie can sometimes pick up items he should not have and may become worried if someone tries to take them directly from him. His new family will need to continue using positive swaps with high-value treats and manage the home carefully to prevent tempting items being left within reach (socks included!). He enjoys playing ball and tug with his favourite toy pig, although he is best suited to sturdy toys as he may ingest softer ones. New toys should be introduced carefully, as he can initially feel protective of new unfamiliar items. Alphie is looking for patient adopters who will respect his boundaries, continue his training and give him the time he needs to trust. In return, they will gain a loyal, characterful friend who loves sniffy walks, sunny snoozes and curling up near his favourite people.

Angel, a 4 years old female Crossbreed available for adoption from Fetcher Dog in Kent

Angel

Kent
SexFemale
Age4 years
BreedCrossbreed

Angel came to us from a pound in the U.K. We believe she had been used for breeding and then dumped when she was no longer of use. Based on the photos that we saw of Angel before her arrival, we knew she would need some veterinary assessment on her legs and these have since been completed. Angel is a pocket bully and poor breeding has lead to some deformities in her limbs. Her x-rays do show curvature of the bones in her front legs but no other issues such as arthritis were detected. Angel needs to gain some strength and stamina as it is clear she has not been used to a lot of exercise and it will be important for her future adopter to keep her at a healthy weight but the vets have said that there is nothing to currently worry about with her health.Angel came in and was immediately the sweetest dog. She is extremely affectionate and loves to sit on our laps for cuddles and affection. She does like to wander around our fields and do lots of sniffing but does end up coming back and joining us for cuddles. She is food motivated which will help with training. Angel has been good with the other dogs at the centre but can be quite excited to meet new dogs so will need to learn to stay calm.We do not know if Angel has ever had a proper home life so she will need full training upon adoption.
