Ada, a 2 years old female Mastiff available for adoption from Dogs Trust in Warwickshire

Are you right for Ada?Ada is a beautiful 9-month-old Spanish Mastiff cross who is now ready to find her forever family. She’s a sweet-natured girl, but she can sometimes feel a little overwhelmed, so she’s looking for a calm home with children aged 14+ who can give her space when she needs time to relax and settle. As a young dog still figuring out the world, Ada can occasionally become boisterous and mouthy, so she’ll need confident owners who can continue her training and help her learn the right behaviours to manage her big feelings.Enrichment and food-based activities are a huge hit with Ada, and these will be invaluable tools for teaching her calming, settling behaviours. She has previously been housetrained, though she may need a refresher as she transitions back into home life. Ada hasn’t had much experience being left alone, so any time spent solo will need to be built up slowly. While she enjoys playing with other dogs, she would prefer to be the only pet in her new home so she can soak up all the attention for herself.

AggieAggie arrived for rehoming on 11 February 2026. She is a bullbreed cross, weighing 29 kilos, and may get a little heavier. She is estimated to be about 2 years of age.Aggie is currently very well from her luxating patella surgery on her back right leg. As the recovery time is several weeks we are not likely to arrange any viewings until late March at the earliest.Aggie came to us as a stray and the sort of home we are currently looking for is:No dogs currently living in the homeNo cats currently living in the homeNo children under the age of 12 yearsAccess to her own private and secure garden (not shared or communal)An experienced and patient owner who will be careful and considerate to her needs as she recovers from surgeryThings to considerAs we have no history for her we do not know if she is house trained, and this may be something you need to train her for.We do not know if she is used to being left alone, and you may have to train her to get her used being left, up to a maximum of four hours.HandlingA very calm and sweet natured girl, who may have experienced pain for some time due to her untreated high-grade luxating patella. She is still very mobile, usually on three legs, but we are keeping activities moderate and calm at the moment.Going forward, if she has surgery the recovery time can involve several weeks of rest, which can be a challenge to manage. It has to be followed strictly otherwise the surgery may fail. For this reason at the very least, the early part of recovery will be done in our rescue centre.WalksAt the moment Aggie is only have short walks, 1-2 walks each day of a slow 20 minutes on the lead.She is an easy dog to walk. Despite often walking on three legs she may still sometimes pull, but not often. She has ignored dogs on her walks so far, even ones reacting badly towards her.PlayWhen she first arrived she had no interest in play and just wanted cuddles. As she has stayed with us we have introduced some fun but calm games.As she recovers from surgery play has to be carefully moderated and controlled, and mainly involves brain games, puzzles, snuffle boxes and mats. She cannot chase balls (even though she wants to) while she is recovering from her surgery.HealthAggie has seen our vet and had her 1st restart and Kennel Cough vaccines. She has also now been microchipped.Her general health is very good but she had a grade 2-3 luxating patella in her right hind leg for which she had corrective surgery on 23 February 2026.The recovery time can be many weeks, and to ensure recovery is successful she will likely spend most of this time in kennels. She has done remarkably well during her recovery, and it is thanks to her lovely, calm and relaxed personality that her recovery has been that much easier.Although it is rare, it is not unheard of for dogs from other kennels to arrive with Kennel Cough, though all our dogs are vaccinated against Kennel Cough at the earliest opportunity they may already be incubating this illness when they arrive/are adopted.Please be aware that the profiles of new dogs can change as we get to know about the dogs the longer, they stay with us.The adoption contribution is £225.00.If you adopt a dog from Happy Staffie Rescue you could be entitled to five weeks free pet insurance through Agria (terms and conditions apply).

BreedCrossbreed

2 Years Old | Neutered | Older ChildrenAlfie was pulled from a pound where his time had sadly run out. He’s an adult Lurcher-type dog with very limited eyesight, and without intervention, his future was bleak. Team Poundie stepped in, settling him into safe, comfortable kennels — but it was clear straight away that Alfie needed a home, and quickly.A veterinary assessment confirms that Alfie is an adult dog, older than two years but not elderly.Thankfully, a wonderful foster family came forward, and Alfie is now enjoying life in a loving (though temporary) home. Once he realised that food was regular and reliable, he relaxed significantly — the counter-surfing stopped, and his gentle nature really shone through.Alfie behaves beautifully indoors. He enjoys lounging, cuddles, and calm companionship, and is fully house trained. He loves pottering around the garden, taking in the world through scent and sound rather than sight.Alfie can be unsure around some dogs, likely due to his time homeless and his limited vision. When out walking, he may react by barking and then freezing, needing reassurance and gentle encouragement to move on.That said, Alfie has successfully shared a home and garden with another dog without any aggression. His challenges come from over-excitement and a lack of doggy manners rather than malice. This can include bouncy play and mouthing, which is why we would recommend a home without small children.Despite his eyesight, Alfie navigates the house and garden confidently. His close vision is very limited, so he may miss hand signals or treats held close, but he compensates well using his other senses. He has been fully vet-checked and, aside from his vision impairment, is a healthy adult dog. He has recently been neutered and is recovering well.Alfie will thrive with the right environment and support. His ideal home would offer:A calm, patient owner or family who can help him settle, decompress, and continue building confidenceSupport with managing his reactivity to dogs when out walking (Team Poundie can assist with behaviourist support if needed)An uncluttered home and garden so he can move around safely and confidentlyAn adult-only home, or one with older, dog-savvy childrenSomeone who is home most of the time, or can ensure Alfie is comfortable and safe when left aloneA very secure garden where he can explore independentlyA calm, socially mature resident dog may be possible — and could even be a bonus to help him learn polite dog behaviourAlfie’s foster family describe him as “gorgeous” — and we couldn’t agree more. He’s a gentle, affectionate soul who has already come so far and is so close to being everything he can be.If you think you could offer Alfie the safe, loving home he deserves, applications can be made via our website or by emailing info@teampoundie.com.Thank you for reading, liking, and sharing — every single click truly does count.

This sweet girl has been quietly making progress and is on the lookout for a forever home!Aliza was adopted as a puppy back in 2021 along with her mum and siblings. She was returned to us in February 2024 and since then has been in kennels she took a while to come round and show her happy side but the team there have done an amazing job with her and she’s ready for the next steps!!Aliza takes a while to warm up to new people. The team at the kennels have worked with Aliza daily and after the initial scary settling in period, she’s done so well accepting new friends. She would like a doggy friend for company, they must be playful as she loves to play! A quieter/not busy household and patient humans who will allow her the time to adjust and relax into home life again.Aliza is a beautiful and sweet girl underneath a lot of anxiety and we want more than anything for Aliza to feel safe againAliza is based in Derbyshire and will need several meets before she goes home.

Amira, our sweet shepherd mix is desperate for a new life.Sadly she was returned to us initially due to reactivity to other dogs and has spent most of her first summer in kennels rather than the home she deserved. She was adopted again and returned earlier this month after she nipped a visitor to the second homeShe was saved from a kill shelter in Romania and wanting a quiet life for herself with someone that loves her. At home she was a good girl and left some energy for 9pm zoomies!Amira is 4 years old, a sweet and gentle girl. This beautiful scruff is around 57cm tall and has been in the UK since early March, settling in. She enjoys her walks on the lead and a bit of an adventure but she is a home bird and her favourite things are tummy rubs and cuddles at home with the people she loves.Amira can be reactive to other dogs which we believe has come from her history of the shelter. She has previously been around other dogs without issue but the lead seems to trigger her anxieties. She would appreciate a quiet home with few visitors. Just a quiet home to relax in. We think Amira is a mioritic shepherd mix, despite being smaller than your average mio, her wariness of strangers is typical of the breed.If you have room in your heart and home for Amira and would like to apply to adopt her please send us a message. This girl has spent years of her life in awful conditions and to only be able to give her a kennel is heartbreaking she needs to be understood.

Poor Annie was unfortunately returned to us as she was let out the front door and nipped the delivery drivers bottom We know she isn't going to be an easy rehome but we are going to give it our best shot. She is stubborn especially on walks and quite single minded so doesn't need an active home. On the flip side she loves to play especially with squeaky toys and all her energy is put into that instead of exercise! Annie likes to keep her family to herself and would prefer no visitors in her home, although she is a massive foodie and can be bribed but a busy household wouldn't suit this princess. Once you are in her trust circle she will shower you with kisses, licks and tummy tickles with the occasional headbutt if she gets too excited. According to her last owner she wasn't bothered around dogs - we have found she can be 50 / 50 with them so unfortunately a pet free.We don't mean to be negative nellies but we do need to be as honest as we can so that we can find her the right home where someone can give her a real chance.If you think that might be you PLEASE get in touch and request an adoption questionnaire via emailinfo@forest-dog-rescue.org.uk
