A lover not a fighter! Nico is a gentle soul who despite her size is a little unsure about things until she’s worked out they are not going to eat her. She’s a fluffy and affectionate young cat who will greet you with cuddles in the morning and will curl up with you at night. She likes to follow you around the house to see what’s going on. She may have a (mild) desire for physical activity once a day, but this passes and she is quickly back to her laid-back self. She has learnt to play with toys rather than hands and enjoys catching things for a few minutes. She would be good with older children (gets on well with my cat-savvy 8yo) but would probably learn to get away from energetic younger kids. She’s a sweetie who will appreciate a quiet-ish house. Not dog tested.

Cooper is a very sweet 5 year old chihuahua who is a little nervous at present but his foster family are trying to help him settle and he is relaxing more each day. He has been a little anxious around his foster brothers and sisters as he is learning to find his place in this very new world that he has found himself in. He loves his walks and is good on a harness which is lucky as he needs to lose a little weight. He is learning how to play and loves a lap to snuggle on.
Cooper is learning to trust humans and enjoys being stroked but can be a little sensitive about his tail being touched. He will benefit from having a calm older dog in the home who can show him the ropes and help him to relax. He is currently quite opinionated and likes the sound of his own voice which is a work in progress.
Cooper is happy around the home and has previously been used to sleeping in a crate but would much prefer to snuggle up to his humans and foster fur family on the bed. He loves to snuggle in to a human! Cooper enjoys his food and has shown no food aggression. He hasn’t shown any interest in playing with toys in his foster home. He has been left for short periods of time with the other dogs and has shown no anxiety.
Cooper travels well in the car and shows no issue at the vets.
Cooper would benefit from having an older family or individual/couple who are around most of the time. He needs an older calm dog to help him understand ‘how to be a dog’. We feel Cooper will benefit from his new human being chihuahua experienced.

Diaz is a lovely friendly 3 year old mixed breed dog who loves a bit fuss but is also quite happy laid on a blanket in front of the fire and having a sleep. He is placid and relaxed and really enjoys going out on walks. He can be a little nervous when walking on main roads so would prefer somewhere quieter when going out. He is good with other dogs and is no problem walking on the lead.
Diaz does have eyesight problems and would suit a house with open space so he wouldn’t bump into anything, although this could be a problem this doesn’t stop him from exploring and having a good sniff.
He loves a good fuss and will bring his head to you for attention. He enjoys a good brush which is lucky as he does shed so he needs to be brushed often to get rid of the fur.
As Diaz has eyesight problems he would be best suited to a household with no children. He needs someone who can give him the attention he needs but also be patient to give him the time he deserves. Sudden movements or loud noises can startle him so a quieter household would be ideal.
Diaz is great with other dogs both in the house and out on walks, his interactions have shown he doesn’t mind meeting new friends and gets quite excited when bumping into another dog on a walk.
Diaz would be better suited in a house with only dogs, no cats or other small animals. He doesn’t enjoy travelling in a car however he is really good when in the vets and doesn’t hesitate or pull away when he goes there.
Diaz is a great dog in and outside of the house, he enjoys a good run around the garden but loves nothing more than having a lie down in the living room. He is housetrained but there can be the odd accident. He isn’t too fussed on toys but does enjoy a good chew or a nice bone to get stuck into. Considering the size of this boy he doesn’t eat too much food however he can be cheeky and does like to have a few scraps or whatever you may be cooking for yourself too! Diaz can be left for a couple of hours at a time but does enjoy having company so leaving him for long periods of time wouldn’t be ideal. Diaz would like his humans to be home most of the time for head scratches and attention.
Diaz is very loving and a great boy who would like a home where he can have lots of attention with his humans around for most of the day. He needs a house that is quite open as due to his eyesight he can bump into things. Despite this it doesn’t stop his zest for life and his love of walks and adventure. Diaz can be homed with a resident large breed dog.

Hello, my name is Squeak. I was a stray, for a number of months, but was very lucky to find a couple that fed me, and gave me shelter in their garage. I had nice food, a litter tray, and a lovely warm bed with a heated pad. One day they took me to the vet, for a check up and neutering. They discovered that I was not microchipped, so went ahead with the neutering. This is the part of my story where you read just how unique I am. They thought I was a girl – boy, were they wrong! I had no ‘lady bits’ at all!. The vet scanned me and found two rather shrivelled testicle, which were removed. The vet also discovered that I have no penis! See, told you I was unique. Despite this, I am very clean when using my litter tray. I can urinate very well thank you. The only problem I have is that I can’t quite manage a proper ‘meow’. I sort of squeak and ‘eck, hence my name. My Foster mum tells me that I am handsome, loving, very special, and a delight to take care of. I would need to be an only cat as I don’t get on with my step brother and sisters. I have not been tested with children, or dogs. I love nothing more than to curl up on a nice warm lap. I enjoy my food (particularly chicken). I adore being fussed on my head– it makes me purr like a tractor, and I willingly accept kisses and cuddles. My Foster mum says that I deserve a special home, where I get all the attention, because I’m such a good boy, and I have oodles of love to give. Lots of purrs from Squeak.

Tegan was being given away free on Facebook as “the cat was attacking him and the dog kept throwing him up in the air”! He was 6 months old…. can you even imagine just how scared he’d must have been, all the time?
When he first came into us in August, he was so timid, scared of the world. However, just over three months later, surrounded by love and his fabulous foster family taking the tiniest of steps with him, he has blossomed into one of the cheekiest little bunnies we know and is ready to find his forever home.
Tegan is getting more confident by the day. He loves head strokes and will come over to demand them as and when he feels the need. He is always on the go and loves to run and binky. Now his character is really shining through we need to warn you that he loves digging and is very agile…. so is turning into a proper little escape artist! He is very busy and will need a lot of space – he’s happiest outside which is lucky as he can be rather destructive and a chewer if he hasn’t got enough to keep him amused and occupied. We’re not sure Tegan and indoor skirting boards are a match made in heaven!
He is more than happy to settle down near you, especially if there are treats on offer – he’s a big fan of treats and loves his treat ball and foraging in his hay. Tegan’s turning into an inquisitive young man, running over to you on the off chance of a treat and more than happy to wander into the kitchen to see what’s happening and if there’s some mischief he can get himself into.
What he needs now is a bunny friend – he is desperate for rabbit company and a BBF to snuggle up to and for mutual grooming – Foster Mum’s strokes just don’t cut it!
Tegan is neutered and up to date with his vaccinations – all this cheeky bundle of cuteness needs now is a wife bun and perfect forever home to put his horrible start in life firmly behind him. If you think you and your girl bunny might be able to keep up with him, then just click here:
Tilley is a well balanced little westie girl that now has so much love for life that you can see it in her little face. She loves other dogs and has learned to play with the help of the resident dogs and is now comfortable in the home environment. This sweet girl has so much to give she enjoys contact and cuddles and is very well behaved when being groomed. Tilley has a gentle nature and enjoys walks, even though they are short at the present time, due to a cruciate repair, which she is recovering from with leaps and bounds. Tilley will let you know when she wants to get up on the sofa by coming to you and giving her paw. She enjoys a belly rub but her favourite thing is to place her head in your hand and press into you. Tilley will also do a little dance when you gently rub her back which is very cute.
Tilley has had 9 back teeth removed and needs to eat a mix of soft and hard food. Her ears need to be regularly cleaned due to a previous infection. This young lady has also had 2 back leg ligaments corrected which has made a massive difference to her in all ways. I am hoping when the second leg has fully recovered, she will be able to get up and down of the sofa on her own. She has no problem with stairs or steps.
Tilley now loves attention from people and enjoys the interaction. She has been in her foster home for quite a while due to the surgeries and recovery and has developed an amazing little personality.
Tilley has been around children with the youngest being 7 and was happy and comfortable.
Tilley will greet other dogs when out walking and interacts nicely. She is very social with all new dogs in new places but needs another dog for company and reassurance. Tilley hasn’t been tested with cats or smaller animals
Tilley has learned to like the comforts of home and now enjoys nothing more than to be cuddled up on a soft bed during the day or even better cuddled up on the sofa. During the night Tilley has slept in her foster mums’ bedroom where she likes to start off on the bed but when she gets too warm, she will get off and sleeps in a dog bed. Tilley isn’t crate trained due to not needing it and she can be left for short periods of time, no more than 3 hours. Tilley will bark for a minute or 2 when left but then settles down. Tilley now likes to play with toys and the other dogs and needs a resident dog to continue to show her the ropes. Due to being an ex-breeding girl she enjoys to eat her soft food in peace but is happy to share her dry food.
Tilley travels in a soft crate in the car and settles with no problems. Tilley is now 95% house trained with the odd accident.
Tilley would like a home with older children or someone that has lots of time to give and is around most of the day. She is a very social girl with so much love to give. She is very gentle and now very much enjoys life. If you are looking for a friend that keeps giving Tilley is the dog for you. Once settled her fun side is so cute to see her play is such a pleasure and when she makes eye contacts you and gives little butterfly kisses, she will melt your heart. She is unrecognisable from the scared little girl who arrived on foster a while ago now.

Meri and Beryl are a delightful bonded pair of ex breeding Cavalier girls who are very affectionate and loving, once they get to know you. They are not related and have different personalities but they like to be together cuddling on the sofa or outside in the garden. Meri is 5 years old and the quieter of the two. She prefers to snuggle up on the sofa next to her human and although she will walk on a lead is sometimes reluctant and will sit down if you stop for even a few seconds. Beryl is 3 years old and more outgoing and active. She loves to run around the garden trotting like a one trap pony, barking and chasing the squirrels away. She is however very affectionate and will put her paws on your shoulders when you’re sitting on the sofa and loves to be next to you. She will walk on a lead but will pull and try to chase if she sees anything moving in the woods. It is early days for both of them as until a month ago they had never been on a lead so they will need time and further training. At the moment two people are needed to walk them.
House training is going well but they do still have the odd accident in the house. They are being fostered with two smaller dogs and they get on fine but they do tend to gravitate to each other for comfort. They have met other dogs on walks and both are a little scared initially but will say hello to the smaller dogs.
They have not been cat tested. They have met their fosterers grandchildren on several occasions. Both are nervous of small children but Meri particular gets agitated by their sharp movements and still barks at them in fear when they move or play.
Both girls have bonded well with their foster parents. They adore their foster mum and suffer from separation anxiety if she leaves them. She has been working on this and they can now be left for short periods but it is still apparent from watching them on the house camera that they don’t settle completely until she returns. Because of the current restrictions they have not had the opportunity to meet many people but they have accepted the fosterers adult son when he has visited and even cuddled up on the chair with him.
They show no interest in playing however Beryl will pick up a toy every now and again and likes to chew. They both sleep well, Meri sleeps on the fosterers bed and Beryl sleeps in a crate beside the bed so she can see foster mum. Beryl will sleep on the bed too but she is more settled in the crate.
They are the most sweet and adorable little girls who are just getting used to the luxuries of living in a home and getting lots of love and attention and boy are they lapping it up! They are looking for a home with someone who has enough time on their hands to dedicate to them, so would need to be home most of the day. Cavalier experience especially with ex breeders would be an advantage. They could be rehomed as only dogs although they are fine with other dogs.
No children I’m afraid and if there are visiting grandchildren you would need to be aware of how anxious Meri in particular can be and not overwhelm her. They really are lovely little girls and the most amazing snuggle bunnies who just need someone to share their time, their sofa and most importantly their hearts with them.

Cheeto and Wotsit are a pair of 5 month old very bonded brothers.
They are typical cheeky, naughty playful kittens. Cheeto is the more forward of the brothers and Wotsit is a little bit more wary but his confidence is growing.
Their ideal home would be older children who are old enough to play with them which they both love but also old enough to understand they do not like to be picked up but like to come to you on their terms.
They get on well with resident younger cats because they are also playful but can get on an older cat’s nerves. They would either need to be the only cats or live with young cats who also enjoy running around and playing.
The kittens are not dog tested.

Cassie is a truly sweet little dog who is exceptionally easy to look after. She loves snuggling on the sofa with you and will quietly follow you around the house. She’s wonderful with children and loves a fuss. She looks forward to her walks and loves to go adventuring through the bushes. She is such a good girl to take to coffee shops as she sits quietly whilst you eat. She has a quiet nature but comes to her owner once she’s got to know you. She is fine to leave at home alone and has not chewed or made a mess and she always welcomes you home with her wagging tail. She is great with other dogs when she is off the lead but can become worried if dogs approach her when she’s on the lead.
Cassie has cushings and will need daily medication in tablet form. She takes her tablets well.
Cassie can be wary of new people preferring to be cuddled by her family but does warms up to new people quickly. She is very friendly and prefers human contact to being on her own.
Cassie is great with children and very gentle towards small children.
Cassie is happy meeting new dogs when she is off the lead however if a group of large dogs surround her she will understandably become worried. She can be worried if a loose dog approaches her when she is on the lead. However she is social and friendly towards other dogs.
At night Cassie sleeps alone downstairs in her basket in the kitchen. She is very good at understanding her bedtime routine. She will stay in the kitchen during the day if she is left alone and has not made a mess. Cassie is housetrained and will do her best not to mess in the house however because of her cushings she needs access to water as she drinks a lot and what goes in must come out so regular trips to the garden are needed. Cassie can be left for the majority of the day alone and will not cause any mess however, if she is left alone in the car she will bark. Cassie can be picky about eating her prescription food but will gradually eat it throughout the day. Cassie can be quick to steal human food if she can reach it.
Cassie is great to walk off the lead but isn’t aware of the dangers of the road and cars so must always be on the lead by roads. She enjoys exploring inside bushes and can get carried away with all the nice smells taking her time to come out which can sometimes be up to 20 minutes. (well no one likes to miss a good smell right). Cassie travels well but needs to be secured safely in the car as she gets excited and wants to sit on your lap. Cassie is great for the vet.
Cassie needs an active home who will take her for lots of walks or to the local coffee shop. She likes to be near the main carer in the home. Cassie needs someone who will give her a lot of fuss but also someone who will be sympathetic and understanding of her condition and the likelihood that she will have accidents occasionally.

River is a very active 5-7 year old border terrier who loves to go walkies and hoooon around the garden. When she’s exhausted her energy she loves nothing more than to cuddle in front of a fire or on a nice warm lap. River once she bonds with you adores her human and likes to be close. She is not keen on sharing her human and would like to be the only pet in the household for this she will give you all her love and attention.
River loves to be out walking, exploring and sniffing but isn’t keen on overly friendly dogs who invade her sniffing space. She has met children but isn’t keen on noisy overly excited little people. She likes little humans who will read her a story, tell her about their day and then go for a nice walk before cuddling up and possibly sharing a chicken nugget or sausage for tea if that’s what the big humans are cooking.
As a typical hunter, even one of maturing age River is not good with small furries and cats.
In the house River loves nothing more than cuddling on the sofa and generally being close to her human. Her toilet training is ongoing and she is much better with those who can regularly put her out to toilet and give her lots of praise and a reward when she has done good. She finds ham or little sausages acceptable as a good effort reward. She can be a little stubborn like all dogs of her breed but being persistent and constant is the key with this little lady.

Phyllis is a cute and sweet natured 3-5 year old little Yorkshire Terrier that will remind you of a little teddy bear especially when she’s curled up in her bed. She’s very gentle and loves her food and treats. She quickly learns where her treats are kept and tries to will you with her eyes for another one. She loves nothing more than to relax in a comfy bed or on a blanket. Although she will stay in a room on her own, she very often likes to lie down near you. She likes to follow you around and sometimes struts around in a playful manner. She enjoys being fussed and stroked, although nervous at first, she soon learns to trust quickly and will slowly build a bond with her owner on her terms. Once settled she’ll make a very loving little dog who has a gentle nature
Phyllis is slowly becoming more confident and will come to her foster mum on her own terms. She’s happy being smoothed and is able to be picked up once she trusts you. Until she gets used to you its best to not make sudden movements and let her come to you. She responds when you call her name and speak to her. Due to lockdown only one person has visited and she was very shy and hid but were confident she’ll get better once it’s possible to see more people and with the guidance of a calm resident dog. She’s not keen on being brushed and will run away when she sees it. However, she will let you groom her and clean her eyes if she is in her bed. As yet she won’t take a treat from your hand but she will take it off the floor by the side of her
Phyllis would probably prefer a quiet home with no children and her humans around most of the time. She hasn’t been out with any dogs as yet as she’s only just had her first vaccination. She hasn’t been tested with cats.
Phyllis is very curious and likes to nose around, when she’s not snooping, she’s a bit of a couch potato and likes to laze around in her bed or on a blanket on the sofa. Even though she’s still nervous I think she likes to be close to the person who looks after her.
House-training is a work in progress and she is happy to use a puppy pad. She finds the garden a bit scary but she’s getting there slowly. She currently sleeps in the living room in her bed or on a blanket on the sofa with access to her puppy pad if needed in the night. She got very stressed when she was put in the kitchen as I believe she felt too enclosed. She is good in the night and doesn’t bark or cry. A crate wouldn’t be a good idea for Phyllis as she doesn’t like being shut in.
She is not destructive and is a very gentle little dog. She is not interested in toys but she probably doesn’t know what they are. She’s definitely got a playful streak in her and will tap her foster mum with her paw wagging her tail when she wants attention. She also runs in a playful way if her name is called in a cheerful voice. Phyllis enjoys her food and eats well.
Due to lockdown and the weather Phyllis has not been left for any length of time but was fine for a short while.
Phyllis travels well in the car but like all dogs she can be nervous at the vets so lots of reassurance and treats are needed
Phyllis would like a quiet home where she can chill quietly in her bed a lot. She would like the company of a handsome male furry friend of a similar size who can teach her how to be a dog and that not all humans are horrible.

Dave will need you to visit him before adoption to see if he likes you. He also says bring Ham it may win him over
Dave is 6 years old and came into rescue after having a horrific start to life. Initially he would growl at everything and not tolerate any touch from human or dog. As he’s started to settle this has got less but he’s still a scared little boy who doesn’t know who to trust. He will sit and shiver if he thinks you may hurt him even if it’s just brushing another dog. Once he trusts you, he will let you gently stroke his head and he’s happy to take ham off you.
Dave isn’t comfortable with touch. He is getting better and will let you stroke him briefly but it is on his terms. He needs an owner who will follow his cues and not rush him. He is much more comfortable with touch when he’s out walking on a lead. He will need a groomer who is experienced with very nervous dogs
Dave needs a home with no children and the ability to shut him in a separate room should any visit.
Dave would love to be an only dog in the home. He could live with an older dog who respects his space. He. is not comfortable with dogs sitting next to him or trying to cuddle him
Dave could live with small furries as long as they respect his space
Dave is fully toilet trained. He sleeps quietly in a crate overnight but would be equally happy in a dog bed. He mustn’t be allowed to sleep on human beds in his new home as he could react if you roll over and accidentally nudge him. He loves his wet food and is partial to a piece of ham or two. Dave is fine to be left for short periods throughout the day
Dave enjoys his walks and walks well on the lead. He uses a slip lead and is now happy to allow me to put it over his head to get on and off. A few short walks a day would be ideal for him He would like a quiet home with not to many visitors. He needs patient owners who will allow him time to settle and not rush him. He’s had a horrible start to life and needs time to learn not all humans are bad.

Dennis is selective on who he likes and dislikes and any prospective owners will need to visit him a few times to see if you stand up to his high expectations in a forever human
Fostered in Crewe
Dennis is a 3 year old loveable French Bulldog who is menace by name and menace by nature! Dennis has a number of complex behaviour issues but had come on so much in his foster home. He loves treats and will do anything for a biscuit. He is a frenchie that underneath his tough guy image is a very misunderstood dog that has had a traumatic past. This has now led him to have stress coping strategies that need managing daily. Dennis can wave with his paw and loves nothing more than a nap on your lap
Dennis since coming into rescue has had BOAS surgery and both knees repaired so currently has no health issues. New owners should be flat faced experienced to accommodate for any future health issues that are common with his breed. Owners will need to research pet insurance quotes prior to application as typically flat faced breeds have higher premiums and any prospective owners need to be in a position to have pet insurance in place.
When Dennis knows you he is a very affectionate frenchie who can get stressed easily which presents itself as him being reactive to people. He is a very temperamental little man that has previously had it very difficult. New owners will need to give him time to settle and be prepared to distract him when he displays anxious behaviours and not encourage or ignore them. Dennis can be a very cuddly frenchie but also likes his own space and this should be respected as when he needs his own space he can react if he feels under pressure.
Due to his mischievous behaviours we would not home Dennis with any children.
Although Dennis lives with other dogs in his foster home he would prefer to be an only dog. He can be possessive over food and toys, and can easily get wound up when other dogs are playing so he would be best suited as an only dog but who socialises with dogs outside the home.
Dennis lives with a dog savvy cat with no issue currently
Dennis will go into a crate but is very anxious when the door is shut so we are currently working on desensitising him so he’s less reactive to the door. When anxious he will destuff dog beds so this will need managing in his new home. He loves toys and will play with them. He can be food and dog reactive so owners will need to be prepared to work with him on this and give him time to settle in. Dennis is fine being left
Dennis walks well on a harness and doesn’t pull. He can be a bit reactive to some dogs on leads, but this is currently managed and he is much improved compared to when he first came in. Dennis does not like travelling and can be very vocal when in the car. He also gets very anxious at the vets and should be handled carefully as he can be reactive.
Dennis is a loveable but temperamental little character, he deserves a home where people will work with him and give him time to settle in. He can be reactive so a family experienced in reactivity or flat faces is especially important. Dennis has obviously had a troubled past and is a dog so desperate to love, he just needs to learn he doesn’t have to react when he’s anxious or worried. Dennis would love a sofa to nap on, a human that will put in the work with him (and feed the occasional treat). Due to his knee surgery Dennis needs a home that will gradually build up his fitness levels and be aware of flat faced breathing problems.

Crystal was a stray who came to us heavily pregnant and only about 9 months old herself.
She had her kittens and was a fantastic mum. Since her kittens have all been adopted she has turned into the playful, naughty, cheeky kitten she should be.
She is enjoying human company and has learnt to trust.
Crystal has not had the best start to life but she is a beautiful, clean little girl.
Crystals ideal home would be older children who could play with her and not be rough when handling her and possibly a playful resident cat because she loves to run around with her foster brothers and sisters.

Freya is an adorable 5-year-old little chihuahua with no known health issues. She can be quite nervous to begin with, but when she gets to know you, she’s a gorgeous little cuddle monster who loves nothing more than walkies and cuddles. She builds strong bonds with those she knows, so would need a quiet home with no young children and not too many visitors. Freya is fine with other dogs but not cat tested. She doesn’t like strangers and introductions must be made slowly or she can react aggressively when strangers try to stroke her. Freya does not like young children and prefers the company of calmer, quieter adults. Freya does however like all other dogs. She is untested with cats and small furries
Freya is completely housetrained and sleeps on her foster mums’ bed with her furry foster siblings. She enjoys her food but is not aggressive with it. She can be left alone for short periods of no more than a couple of hours. After that she becomes anxious.
Freya enjoys walks and travels well in the car. However, she does not like the vets as she doesn’t like to be touched by strangers and can react quite aggressively. She will rely on her forever family to calmly and positively support her at these anxious times.
Freya is a highly loving dog and builds strong bonds with those she trusts. It will take a few days for Freya to become accustomed to a new home, but once she does, she has all the love in heaven to give.

Nine year old Nigel is going to be someone’s best friend, he’s the chattiest cat his foster mum has ever met. He loves company and will follow you around the house making sure he sees all the action. He loves treats and eating, Nigel likes to eat a lot of food!. As Nigel is going to be your best friend you need to know that he likes to sleep really close then in the morning he likes to cuddle right on top of your chest and purrs like a train till you gently wake up. He also likes to slide in between his foster mum and partner at night to cuddle them both. He loves being in a family. If you over stimulate him he will give you a swipe which can hurt as he’s so strong. Nigel would not like to live with small boisterous children but could live with an older child who will read to him and tell him stories. Nigel can even do his own soundtrack if they are reading about cats. Nigel cannot live with other cats as he does not like to share his humans with other felines but is fine with dogs and doesn’t mind being home alone. He mainly sleeps and eats which makes him a dream cat.

Ginger is a 4 year old Cocker Spaniel who was a puppy farm ex-breeding girl. She is a very loving little girl and a real princess that loves human attention. She would be happy to sit and cuddle with you all day long.
When ginger arrived at her foster home, she was very unsure of humans, and would back away if approached. Over time and with watching and learning from the other dogs in the house, ginger has realised that humans are good and she now follows her foster mum everywhere. One of her favourite things is to cuddled up next to her foster mum and will often be caught staring at her longingly.
Ginger is unsure around very young, loud or boisterous children and will run for cover. She has been with the 11 year old very dog savvy small human in the house.
Ginger copies a lot from the other dogs in her foster home and will snuggle up to them when there’s no human to snuggle up to, but once bonded with her forever person she will choose her human every time. She can sometimes get stroppy and growl if the other dogs try to get close to her human but a watchful eye and a firm” no” stops this behaviour instantly. Princess ginger is slowly learning to share.
She has not been tested around cats or small furries.
Ginger’s toilet training is a work in progress she will go outside in the garden but at times she forgets. She used a crate when she first arrived but prefers the sofa now that she knows what one is. She sleeps on her foster mums’ bed at night, all night with no accidents. If left downstairs she gets quite upset and makes a lot of noise. As ginger has not previously lived in a home environment anything lying around that she thinks is a toy such as socks, pens and her toys will be chewed. Ginger eats well and will try to steal the other dog’s food if not watched. She shows no aggression just pushes her way in, if she cannot be watched at feeding time she would be best separated as no one likes a fat princess. She is not happy to be left at first but soon settles and is fine being left for a few hours with her foster buddies.
Ginger hasn’t totally learnt to walk on a lead yet and be comfortable with the outside world so she will need her new home to have lots of patience to help her achieve this.
Ginger needs a home with at least one other resident dog to learn that walking outside is full of wonderful sniffs and nice things to roll in. She would like a dog that is going to be happy that she wants to be the centre of her humans world and not feel threatened by this as she learns to share. Given time, patience and encouragement Ginger will become the Princess that we all know is just waiting to burst out.

Poppy is a tiny chihuahua cross who is a waggy tailed meerkat when she knows you, she is always happy to curl up on your lap and is a little shadow that follows you everywhere. Poppy is an extremely nervous little dog when she firsts meets you and so needs an understanding owner that will work with Poppy to develop trust and the bond with her. Once she has made that bond, she is the happiest dog to see you and wants to be wherever you are. Poppy loves dancing on her back legs to get attention and is such a fun little dog when she trusts you.
Poppy is nervous of strangers initially and will bark when she’s unsure but once she knows you she is happy being touched and groomed but needs an owner that isn’t going to put pressure on her especially to start with. Poppy needs time to trust new people and may always be wary of people she does not see often
Due to poppy’s nervous nature she cannot he homed with children and ideally wouldn’t have visiting children to the home unless a separate area was made for poppy as she had had bad experiences with children in the past and is very wary of them.
Poppy currently lives with a cat with no problems
Poppy is not destructive at all, she does suffer from separation stress which is improving in her foster home now that she’s settled, but any prospective home needs to be patient as this may come back when she moves to unfamiliar surroundings. Poppy currently sleeps upstairs as she is very attached to whoever she trusts. Poppy does not really play with toys but is a fun dog who will play with people and is very food orientated so is quick to learn tricks and play food games. Poppy will bark at unfamiliar noises this is due to her insecurities, but this is also settling in her foster home as she gets used to everything.
Poppy walks well on a lead and loves going out travelling to and new places for good walkies is always welcomed. Poppy is very nervous at the vets and will need careful handling and positive encouragement.
Poppy needs a home that is experienced with nervous small breeds dogs, chihuahua experience preferably but more important is a patient home that will work with poppy to overcome her fears and realise that new people aren’t scary. She is the most loving dog when she trusts you and behind her nervous behaviours, she is the most wonderful companion. She needs someone that is going to make her the focus in their lives and allow her to be their shadow until she is confident enough to spend time in her own company.
Poppy is a very small dog but needs someone with a very big heart to work with her to see the wonderful dog that her foster mum gets to see now and not be put off by her initial reaction to people she doesn’t know. Poppy will make such a lovely companion for an adult home and for people home most of the day.

Bronte is a 7-8-year-old Bichon who is still a very shy and quiet lady who likes peace and quiet and lots of home comforts. She has become attached to her foster mum and will happily doze the day away curled up by her side as she work from home. She is in foster with another dog and older children but in all honesty I think she would prefer the peace and quiet of a home with no children. Bronte is going to take time to fully come out of her shell and she will need forever humans who can help her with this. She has been on several walks and walks well on the lead, albeit reluctantly for the first few yards. Her foster family is working hard on building her confidence and getting her used to being around people for the first time, possibly ever, in her life.
Bronte tolerates being groomed and gets better every time. She is nervous but not difficult.
Bronte is in a foster home with a male, neutered dog and is fine with him. Still waiting to see if they play or cuddle up together but she is indifferent to him (most females are, much to his frustration!)
Bronte has shown little interest in toys. She eats well, has a good appetite and eats alongside her foster brother no problems. She has been left for an hour when we popped to the supermarket and she was fine. she likes to sleep in her bed, on the sofa or in your bed if you let her!
She travels in the car well with no problems or sickness. she has been out on walks and is reluctant at first but then gains confidence and loves to strut her stuff. She has been fine meeting other dogs on walks also.
Bronte would suit a quiet, affectionate home where she can relax and enjoy the company of her humans.

Lola is 9 months old and is a little bit of a drama queen, and a chatty one at that. She is crazy and playful just like her brother in crime. She likes to sit on a window sill or chest of drawers in the sun for a snooze. Her favourite thing is to play with her fur brother chasing, running, play fighting and when they have worn each other out they will snuggle and snooze together. Lola has been outside on a harness and has been fine. Oh, and she will do anything for some Dreamies.
Felix is 5 months old and the sweetest little kitten. He loves to snuggle with a human, or with his fur sister Lola. He’s a crazy, playful kitten too and loves to chase a bell, ball, piece of foil, piece of plastic….well anything that you throw for him really. He’s fascinated by water and waits for his foster mum to get out of the shower so he can chase the drips. He’s just a typical, adorable kitten. He has been on a harness outside but wasn’t at all keen.
They are currently living with a calm cat savvy dog and have been fine
Shadow is approx 4 years old and a real character. He can be a bit nervous in new surroundings and with new people, but loves to have a good explore. Shadow will often ‘talk’ as he wanders round just to let you know where he is. He loves company although he’s still learning how to settle for more than 5 minutes (think he is just excited all the time). Food is always a hit with Shadow and he will grab whatever scraps he can get his paws on, so watch your plates! Shadow was kept as an indoor cat but he is so interested in exploring we’re sure he would love a home with access to outdoor space.

This gorgeous boy still has his kitten streak, enjoying his toys and having a funny 5 minutes most evenings.

Bing is a 4 year old King Charles Cavalier who is a gentle giant although being larger than your average cavalier, he doesn’t seem to think he’s a big boy and jumps around like a little lamb. He is a loving boy and enjoys lots of cuddles from his foster mum. He is an ex breeding stud dog that lived outside all his life so is now enjoying the finer things in life. Sofas and humans’ bed.
Bing can be unsure of sudden movements and can get overwhelmed backing away, but with patience and reassurance he will come to you. He is a laid back boy who is very loving and dopey and loves to know everything that’s going on. He can be frightened and unsure around young loud children and will keep his distance but is fine with older calmer children.
Bing lives in a foster home with 3 other dogs and has never shown any aggression but likes to get his nose in anything that’s going on always the first in line when everyone is called so he doesn’t miss out. He prefers to snuggle up to the female dogs in his foster home rather than the male. He has not been tested with cats or small furries.
Bing will jump up on the settee to get close to you and will try to fit into the smallest gaps but is also quite happy to take himself off to the other end of the settee and snuggle up next to one of the girls. He’s starting to learn to play now and will have a funny five minutes running around playing with toys. He’s desperate to play and is slowly learning. Bing is pretty much house trained but can mark if he smells other unusual smells around the home but only now and again. Bing sleeps on his foster mums’ bed and loves to be snuggled up close to her sleeping all night. If left downstairs he will cry and pace. He loves his food and eats well. He is used to being left for a few hours at a time with his foster siblings without any problems and will give you a huge welcome when you return.
Bing is unsure on the lead and if on his own will stand still and not walk, but with time and patience and help following the other dogs he will come out of his shell and enjoys exploring.
Bing needs a home with another resident dog preferably a female, or a laid-back male that likes to play. Bing would be fine with calm and gentle children 7 and over and would love to be walked regularly every day to explore the outside world. He’s very curious of the outside and has energy to burn but just needs lots of reassurance and patience so a family which has the time to spend with him is a must.

Tommy is a handsome 12 week old ball of fluff that will grow into a Bichon Frise. He is confident and playful loving nothing more than playing tug of war and chewing his toys. He is an inquisitive pup who enjoys exploring the garden, playing with other dogs in his foster home and meeting new people who will fuss him.
Tommy loves a cuddle but being a baby he also likes his own space and will happily spend time with his toys alone. He has been left alone with the other dogs in the house for a couple of hours at a time and has been fine and gives a lovely greeting on your return!
Currently his favourite hobby is pinching shoes and as a typical pup he likes to chew everything! Distracting him with high interest toys works a treat! Tommy enjoys zooming around the garden and chasing balls but hasn’t got the hang of ‘fetch’ yet!
He sleeps in the kitchen with the other dogs at night and is mostly using the puppy pads to toilet but this is a work in progress and there are understandably some accidents. He eats well and enjoys an occasional treat showing no food aggression. He travels well in a crate in the car.
Tommy is very sociable and likes to be handled. He has behaved very well at bath time and has enjoyed being groomed.
Tommy has been introduced to children of different ages but we feel children aged 7 and over would be best for this active fluff ball. He has enjoyed playing with them and being cuddled.
Tommy is sociable and playful with other dogs in the house but hasn’t met any other dogs outside as he is too young for walks. He has behaved very well at the vets.
Tommy has a great temperament for a baby but would benefit from another playful fur baby to continue his education. He is going to need an active home who have enough time to spend training him to be the perfect pet.

Waffle and Wafer are a bonded pair of lovely girls, born in July this year. They are super friendly and love nothing more than to lie on your lap or chest and purr their little hearts out. When not relaxing they are a really playful duo, who love their humans and will spend as much time as possible near them. Ideally they would need to be adopted together as they spend all their time together and call to each other when they find something interesting! Litter trained, eat dry food, healthy.

Candy is a happy 5 year old cocker spaniel girl who always greets you with a waggy tail. She loves to come to you for gentle fusses. She has been in her foster home for a little while now and they are starting to see glimpses of the playful dog she will hopefully become. She is currently enjoying pinching items you’ve dropped and running off with it. Her favourite items at the moment are socks or spoons. She loves her food, particularly ham or chicken treats.
Candy has spent a lot of years on a puppy farm so is understandably a little nervous of humans who move towards her quickly but is more than happy to approach you for a fuss. She would be frightened of noisy children running around or shouting but gentle calm children would be fine in her new home. Candy needs at least one gentle dog in her new home to show her how to be a pet. She has not been tested with cats or smaller furries but may be fine with sensible introductions.
Candy is a very easy dog to have in the home, she’s very quiet but there are glimpses of her personality starting to show. She loves her bed but as yet hasn’t tried to get on the sofa. She’s virtually there with toilet training as long as she has regular access to a garden. She’s happy to be left for a few hours as long as she’s with another dog. If you drop something on the floor she will come to investigate and then run off with her new found treasure.
Candy needs more practise at lead walking. She’s happy to trot around a field or somewhere quiet with another dog or to have a good sniff but it’s currently just getting her used to the lead rather than going for a long walk
Candy would like a quiet home with at least one other dog. A garden to potter around in and a comfy bed to sleep on. Gentle cuddles and some tasty treats are a must for this beautiful girl.

Dotty is a charming, happy, energetic and loving 5 year old little Pug. She has an amazing zest for life and deserves a home with lots of activity, walks and fun. Dotty adores humans and loves nothing better than to cuddle up and be tickled. She will use her paw to tell you to continue if you dare to stop smoothing her.
Dotty can live with dog savvy children preferably 7 years or over.
Dotty will say hello to other dogs on walks but is far more interested in walking and smells than meeting new dogs. She lives with 2 other dogs in her foster home and loves to snuggle up and play. She lives with 3 dog savvy cats and is fine with them.
Dotty is completely housetrained. She sometimes uses an open crate to sleep in out of choice in the daytime and at night sleeps either in a bed next to foster mum or snuggled up on foster mums bed. Dotty hasn’t shown any interest in toys but loves to play with other dogs and humans. Dotty has a great appetite and though not food aggressive will try to finish off the other dogs and cats food if given a chance, so care must be taken not to allow her to overeat. Dotty has been left with the other dogs for up to 3 hours at a time and was fine.
Dotty has a half hour walk in the morning before breakfast and an hour walk in the evening before dinner. She is a joy on walks, she has loads of energy and gets very excited before and after her walks. She needs time to calm down after walks before her meals so sometimes goes in the crate for half an hour to settle. Dotty travels in a crate in the car and will settle quickly and is well behaved at the vet.
Dotty deserves a home where there are humans around for most of the day but is fine to be left for a few hours as long as she has other doggy company and a walk before and after to burn off excess energy. Dotty can live with or without children, she has never shown any aggressiveness to humans or dogs or cats. Dotty is an extremely loving girl, who wants to cuddle and kiss and follow her humans around. Her new home must be prepared to give lots of cuddles and playtime every day to this gorgeous girl.
Ruby is a very gentle and loving 5 year old Jack Russel Terrier who loves cuddles and being close to her human. She likes a gentle and calm atmosphere and will happily sleep snuggled up on the sofa with a cushion and blanky. Ruby loves being in the garden exploring and has recently started discovering toys and playing with them.
She finds big dogs a bit too boisterous to play with but is not scared of them, she tolerates them and cuddles up with them but would prefer just one dog her own size to be her best friend. Ruby is very quiet and not a barky dog. She needs time to learn to be a pet and will need an owner with a lot of patience to let her learn at her own pace. Ruby can be wary around men and is more comfortable with women. Gentle introductions to men need to be made slowly and positively. Ruby adores cuddles, and loves being stroked under her chin. She can be a bit wary if anyone tries to touch the top of her head.
Ruby is only comfortable with older children 10 and over who will give her the space to come to them and not be crowded, she does not like noisy or busy environments. Ruby has not been out for walks yet; she will need a lot of patient lead training as she currently freezes if put on a lead. She is not tested with cats or small furries.
Ruby’s toilet training is ongoing and she is happy to toilet in the garden with encouragement. If she needs to go overnight she will use a puppy pads if put down. Ruby is happy to sleep on the sofa, snuggled up with her blanket and the other dogs. She likes her routine and is quiet all night. She is happy to go in a crate if necessary and will often settle in an open crate. She eats well but will leave her food if another dog approaches her, so she is fed away from the others. Ruby is not destructive and is happy to have a comfy bed and cuddles. She has only been left for an hour at most and has been fine.
Ruby is very wary of loud noises or too much activity. She has plastic bowls as the sound of metal ones scares her. She needs to be acclimatised to normal household activities. She is fine in the car and sits on the passenger seat with her seat belt harness and hardly moves.
Ruby needs a quiet and relaxed home with humans there most of the time. She would love a friendly and confident dog her size to be her best friend and mentor. She would love a garden with lots of areas to explore. Her humans would need to be patient, confident, understanding and full of love and cuddles for her to help progress her adapting to home life. Her primary carer should be female who will help Ruby to trust males.
