Surrey’s commuter towns and access to countryside mean rescue dogs are often matched with working households and active adopters. Dogs adopted here may be suited to busy routines balanced with structured exercise and companionship. Many Surrey-based rescues focus on careful matching to ensure dogs can cope with time alone and daily schedules. Adopting locally supports long-term success for dogs and owners alike.

BreedBelgian Malinois

This is Bear’s original write up:“Pearl was picked up as a stray in December and was heavily pregnant. No microchip and nobody to claim her, so we were asked if we could help. Pearl is quite nervous when meeting new people and we suspect she has had a good hiding at some stage, but once she realises you mean her no harm, she is a sweetheart. She likes her space from other dogs but no issues with them at all. Has totally ignored the horses in the field next door as well. On the 22nd December Pearl gave birth to 11 puppies, 4 boys and 7 girls. Sadly one little girl was not breathing and despite getting her started and suckling, she passed over Rainbow Bridge just over 24 hours later.Pearl is a GSD but not knowing what dad was we did a DNA sample on one of the girls which came back as: 56% GSD, 29% Belgian Mali, 7% Border Collie, and 6% Greyhound.The pups are all confident and tear around the place causing bedlam as you would expect. They do all like a snuggle though as well. The pups will need homes that have some experience of the main breed at least as they will need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation as they get older. “Bear came back at 11 months old quite simply the person who adopted him failed to give him the training, socialisation and boundaries he needed, so whereas all the other pups are super with people and other dogs, Bear still mouths, still jumps up, reacts to anything that moves when out on lead….To say he has been let down is an understatement. Did his adopter take him regularly to training like she said she would? No! Did she contact anyone to say she was having issues? No! The first we know about it is when he is snapping at the children when they take things off him and suddenly he has to go immediately otherwise she has booked an appointment at the vets to murder him because a volunteer said it may take a couple of weeks to find him somewhere.We don’t always get the homes right and most certainly did not in this case, but Bear is now safely back where he was born and settled straight back in. He will learn some of the manners he missed out on from the older dogs but there is no malice in this gorgeous lad, purely he is behaving as a young male pup would not having been given the proper direction.Bear definitely deserves a special home now please!

Hi there, my names Biscoff and I'm a real cheeky chap! I can get a little scared of quick hand movements but soon come out of my shell. I'm very nosey and get involved in eveything going on around me. If you love Terriers then your sure to love me! I also had a very bad start in life and need gentle introductions to new people, especially men.I'm looking for an active adult experienced terrier home where there is always lots going on, I need to stay on a long line because I love to go off investigating, once my super nose picks up a scent I'm off! A semi rural home would be best for me, as like my friend Buddy I do get scared by loud noises and traffic. I am super affectionate, love lots of cuddles and fuss and will make you laugh daily with my antics! My favourite trick is to distract you with some mischief and then slurp your cuppa! I will need a lovely secure garden with at least a 6ft fence with gravel boards. If you think im lovely complete a rehoming form.

Hello, my name is Buddy B and I have had a rather sad start in life which has left me extremely anxious in new situations and around new people, especially men. Once I know you I am the most loveable boy and would really like a lady owner I could share the sofa with for cuddles.I've been at HQ for several years now and my confidence has grown but I a still very wary of men. I enjoy the company of other dogs and could live with another well matched companion. My favourite hobby is sitting with you for cuddles and I'm more than happy to snuggle up on the sofa. All true terrier lovers will be smitten with me, my antics will make you smile! I currently have a strict routine and this has helped with my separation anxiety and I'm happy to chill in bed with a chew and I enjoy a good snooze in the morning and afternoon.I am very noise phobic, so would suit a very calm and quiet home in a semi rural area as I would not cope with a busy suburban park with lots of people. I love a good country walk and am used to a long line and will not be one that can be let off initially as I might get spooked, so need a secure field for any off lead running. I'm still a work in progress and any transition to a new home will need to be done gradually, please give me a chance, I have waited so long for the right mum to come along. I have glaucoma in one eye which is stable with my eye drops and I have to go for quarterly check ups. I'm very at the vets and having my daily drops. If you would like to give me a home please complete a rehoming form.

Hello my name is Bunny, I'm a 2 year old medium size crossbreed girlie. I can be hand shy, particularly around men but I'm coming on leaps and bounds literally! I love to play with toys but am equally happy mooching about and sniffing. I am extremely affectionate and love cuddles and will just gaze up at you whilst enjoying all the love and attention. I love food and am straight in your pocket snuffling for any treats! I was abandoned near a busy road and am understandably anxious around traffic so would suit a semi rural home although I have been working with the volunteers and am now getting used to passing cars and vans and have even seen a tractor.I am quite shy when I first meet you and can be spooked by quick hand movements but my confidence is gaining daily with meeting new people and I'm much braver at HQ now. We have been working on my anxiety when I am out for a walk and I have been doing well and experiencing lots of new things at a speed I am comfortable with. I adore going in the car and sit looking out, watching everything. I am extremely affectionate and love cuddles and really like being groomed. I am very foody and they call me greedy but I was abandoned by a busy road with my pup and food was very scarce for a long time before we were rescued. I have just started going to training class which I really enjoy and has helped build up my confidence. I would love a big garden where I can do lots of zoomies and play chase with toys. I walk well on the lead and I'm house trained. I'm looking for an experienced home, preferably with street dog experience.

Meet Dobby — a 3-year-old, 18kg mixed breed who came from the streets of Mexico around a year and a half ago. She’s spayed, healthy, vaccinated, and very much ready for the right home (not the rushed one). Dobby is a sensitive soul. She takes a little time to trust, but once you’re in… you’re in. Expect snuggles, loyalty, and a tiny shadow who just wants to be near her person. Dog savvy: Gets on well with other dogs with slow, sensible introductions Can be reactive if dogs rush her — personal space matters People boundaries: Needs humans who respect her space Fast hands and instant fuss from strangers can worry her At home: Quiet, calm, crate trained Non-destructive Happy to be left Walks nicely on lead (unless a squirrel or pigeon commits a crime ) Food-motivated and keen to learn No children please Ideal home: Single person or couple Garden preferred Experience with foreign rescues and/or reactive dogs Time, patience, and emotional intelligence required (treats help too) Dobby doesn’t need fixing. She doesn’t need rushing. She just needs her person
