BreedStaffordshire Bull Terrier

Arwen could live with children aged 10+ and will need to be the only animal in the home.Arwen is a lovely little lady who absolutely adores spending time with her humans and simply loves attention! She is full of beans and so will need an active family who can keep up with her and take her on lots of lovely adventures, keeping her both mentally and physically stimulated.Arwen has had a poor start to life, we have very little background information about her, but we do know that was previously left in a garden most of the time. Arwen has shown some signs that she may struggle when left alone and so she will need a family who are prepared for this and are able to slowly build up the amount of time she is left for.Arwen does also typically prefer to have space from other dogs and can, at times, be a little reactive. She will need a family who are confident and capable of managing this behaviour, whilst working on her training to help her learn some more appropriate responses.This sweet lady is such a pleasure to spend time with. She is so fun to be around and often has us laughing with her daft ways and her little tappy tappy toe dance as she sees you coming. She loves nothing more than human company – she is such a friendly girl – nobody is a stranger to Arwen! She would spend all day being made a fuss of and needs a family who are able to spend a lot of time with her.Despite the life Arwen has previously had, she still has so much love to give and more than deserves to finally be shown what the safety and security of a true forever home feels like, where she can be spoilt rotten and shown the love she should’ve always known from her forever family.

Once out and about on his walks he is awesome and loves exploring his environment enjoying all the sniffs!Joker responds well to commands and, as he is so food motivated, training comes easily too him!Joker can jump high which will need to be considered by any potential rehomers – though management using a longline or similar when he first goes home should be a simple solution to keeping his paws on the floor!Joker is quite simply an all-round good lad who we have no doubt will bring so much love and so may laughs to his new home.

He’s an enthusiastic boy and even greets strangers as if they’re his best friend!He absolutely loves getting out and about on his walks and also enjoys playing with his toys – particularly balls or soft toys.Koda has been a well-behaved lad whilst in our care but did display some challenging behaviours whilst in a foster home. He can sometimes struggle to regulate his big feelings and can make some silly choices, resulting in undesirable behaviours. He needs an experienced home who are capable and confident in managing Koda’s behaviours whilst continuing to work on his ongoing training to help him learn some more appropriate responses and better outlets for his feelings.Koda would also rather not interact with other dogs and so he needs a family who can respect this and advocate for him and his space in the outside world.This cheeky chap desperately needs a family who can offer him the time, patience and commitment he needs. He will undoubtedly require consistent training from his new family and needs an experienced home who can provide him with the understanding, structure and boundaries he needs. We know that, for the right family, Koda has so much potential to make a fantastic addition and will reward them immensely for giving him the life he deserves.Koda has undergone BOAS and NARES surgery. Any potential rehomers should be aware that, if he were to have any future related issues, these are likely to be classed as a pre-existing condition and won’t be covered by pet insurance.

More Information

Tyne and Wear’s urban environment means rescue dogs are often matched with adopters who can provide structure, training and access to green spaces. Many dogs rehomed here benefit from consistent routines and patient handling. Local rescues work to ensure dogs are comfortable with city living before adoption. Adopting locally helps support dogs transitioning successfully into busy environments.
