Hi, I’m Ace! I’m about 2 years old and I've not been lucky enough to live in a home yet. I came here in February and I'm loving my indoor heated kennel with nice blankets! I absolutely love other dogs and I like people but I'm just a bit shy. I’d be more than happy to live with another dog or without, I'm not fussy but I did used to chase rabbits for a living so I might do the same with a cat in the house.I’m learning to walk on a lead and come back when I'm called. I'm loving my new raw food as I was a bit hungry. I’m looking for a home that is easy going as I like a calm life but I do also like to play with other dogs. If you’re after a gentle soul that would probably end up sleeping on the sofa in the sunshine then I'm your man! Love,Ace

Meet Albie, one precious boy rescued from Botosani public shelter. Albie is just a puppy, 9 months old, he has been neutered, fully vaccinated, blood tested and microchipped Albie is like a little polar bear, a bundle of fluffiness. Albie is not used to human interaction and touch so needs a very understanding and patient home that will give him the time he needs to learn to become a happy, trusting companion. He is not aggressive but does show fear if people push him too quickly because he's missed out on a normal puppyhood. Albie is doing so well, he loves his toys and is super playful, often amusing himself by throwing his toys around and retrieving them. To see him showing his happy and playful side is so rewarding. He will not be going out on walks for a long while yet so a garden for him to run around in is essential. He is house trained and takes himself to the door when he needs to go out. He is great with all other dogs and definitely needs the help of a confident resident dog. Albie requires a young child free home Must have an enclosed garden Experience of nervous dogs Dog and cat friendly Albie didn't have a future stuck in the overcrowded public shelter, he was living in fear every single day. Now he is beginning to learn that life can be fun. Its so wonderful to see. Are you the person to give him an amazing future? Current location Southampton.

Are you right for Alfie?Eight-year-old Alfie is a handsome Collie with a gentle, quiet character and a lot of love to give. He’s hopeful to find patient adopters, who will allow him plenty of time to settle into his new routine and allow him to show his fun, confident side. Alfie is a real β€˜foodie’ and highly values his mealtimes and chews. He can find it challenging when people approach him whilst he is eating, or if they try and take food items away from him. Alfie has completed multiple training plans during his time in kennels around feeding times and loves to show off his skills- he requires a family who are happy to implement this training in his new home. Our Training Team can chat to successful applicants more about this. Alfie loves walking with doggy friends but is looking to be the only dog in his new home, and is looking for an adult only home. He also requires a garden of his own. Alfie is a clever boy, and knows multiple toys by name!

Romney Poor Angel came to us through no fault of her own. She is a typical Bulldog who doesn't know her own strength sometimes and will barrel into you wanting love and cuddles, due to this she would not be suitable for young children, she can however live with older children. She is good with other dogs and great with people. At the moment she is a bit nervous and scared of being in the kennel so she is a bit shut down at the moment. If you'd like to give Angel a home then please pop into our New Romney branch during our opening hours (Weds-Sun, 11am-3pm).
