QUIET HOME WITH PATIENT OWNERS

TRUFFLES WILL BE ADOPTED ON AN ASSISTED ADOPTION

Truffles is an adorable 5 year old Shitzu that is described by her foster mum as a loving, playful character. She adores playing with toys. Her tail wags all the time and she bounces with joy at feed time. She likes all other dogs and is not bothered what size they are. She is confident but not pushy. She will take a toy from under another dog’s nose and is not bothered if another dog does the same to her. Truffles loves being stroked and made a fuss of.

Truffles loves going for a walk and gets excited when she has her harness put on. She loves to sniff and explore. She is very good on lead but can’t walk too far and sometimes has to stop for a rest. She is not worried about meeting people or the sound of traffic.

Truffles loves sleeping in a comfy dog bed, on a chair or the sofa. She prefers to be on her own to rest but is not bothered at all living in a home with a lot of dogs. She sleeps happily downstairs in a comfy dog bed and she hasn’t been heard barking yet. Every morning she is so happy to see you and with tail wagging comes for a fuss.

She is really good travelling in the car in her harness and seatbelt but tries to creep up to a human, so if travelling alone, would be better in a soft crate.

Truffles is great at the vet and groomers, she is just a wonderful little girl.

She loves to play in the garden, stretching out on the grass and playing with a tennis ball. She also loves toys and one of her favourite things is to dissect them. She has also unfortunately chewed the TV remote and another dog’s harness, so it’s wise not to leave anything you need within her reach.

Truffles has a heart condition, where her heart skips a beat and will need to be carefully monitored by a vet going forward.

Truffles can be a bit nervous with new people but once she gets to know you she loves having a stroke and a fuss. She is an independent dog and still likes her own space on occasion. She does not like being overcrowded so a quiet household would be ideal.

Truffles is fine with children but she is not a ‘cuddly’ dog. She likes being stroked but not cuddled. She has met fosterers grandchildren who are used to leaving foster dogs alone and has been fine with them but takes herself off to a quiet spot if they are playing. Due to her heart condition, Truffles needs a quiet household without young children.

Not cat tested but Truffles is so laid back not considered a problem. She has met fosterer’s cat and not responded at all.

She is house trained with only an occasional accident.

Truffles would love a quiet home, with or without other dogs. She would love to have toys to play with and someone around most of the time. She would love to go for little short walks and the occasional outing. She would prefer to be in a home without little children and in a routine so she knows when breakfast and tea time is. She needs a secure space to go outdoors to toilet and sunbathe. A home with a human who is patient and lets her settle in her own time. Once she feels settled Truffles will reward her human with an overload of cuteness and cheeky character but she needs her own space sometimes.

CALM RESIDENT DOG

SENSIBLE CHILDREN WHO UNDERSTAND SMALL NERVOUS DOGS

NOT CAT TESTED

PATIENT LOVING OWNERS

Princess Primmy is a 10 year old Maltese described by her foster mum as a quiet loving little girl who loves to be near you and will become your little shadow. She isn’t scared of much and is not a barker either. She has the cutest face and her little tongue hangs out of her mouth when she sleeps or when she’s excited and she always looks happy to see you! She loves cheese and anyone who loves cheese will know that it ain’t easy being cheesy!! When she trusts you and is settled, she likes you to tickle her tummy and will roll over, and she picks up her front paws to be picked up onto the sofa for a snooze

Prim has stage 2 leaky heart valve which requires ongoing medication to be given twice a day. She also has very few teeth so will need soft food or biscuits soaked in water. Prim tilts her head back when she is unsettled and I think this is due to anxiety and is a self-soothing mechanism which has got less frequent. She also licks her paws at night time which I also believe is a self soothe mechanism.

Prim has been a loving friendly little girl. At first, she was very timid and shaky but now she doesn’t shake at all unless put into a new situation. This will be expected when she goes to her new home but it will settle. She follows you everywhere. If you leave the room, she will follow you. She is not a typical lap dog; she likes to be near you but does not try to climb on your lap yet, but I think it won’t be long before she does. She greets you when you come home and likes to be smoothed. She jumps up on you with her two front paws for a fuss. She cowers when approached quickly or from high above her but she has never shown any aggression only timidness. She likes to be stroked under the chin. She has had two baths since her time here and was fine so I can’t see her being bothered by grooming at all. She likes to be in the same room as you and will howl sometimes if she is not with you and this howl sounds like a baby cow mooing! Prim likes to be picked up and put on the bed or sofa. She can jump up but due to her size she can’t do this effortlessly so is currently picked up. She will also settle on the floor.

Prim has not been around children but I think she would be fine around older children who are not loud and busy and understand that she’s a small timid dog and they need to be gentle.

Prim is currently living with a resident male Cavachon and follows him from room to room or out the garden. She likes to know he is close but she doesn’t need to be next to him or cuddle up to him, they sleep at opposite ends of the room. She has little motivation for food and so guarding or food aggression is no problem and she has been placid around him, except for when he’s startled her during a deep sleep and she’s given a growl but who likes to be woken from a deep slumber?

Prim has not been tested with cats or small furries.

Prim has had some accidents during her stay but these have been due to confusion. This is improving and has got less and less so just needs patience while she’s settling. I have introduced crate training to combat the accidents as she doesn’t seem to understand holding it in when you leave the house yet. She sleeps on a cuddly blanket on the floor next to the human bed and sleeps for 7-8 hours with no toilet accidents but I know she would love to sleep on the bed if allowed. She does wake up and have a quiet nose around in the night but this is getting less and less. She scratches at the bedroom door to let you know when she wants to get up but after a wee and poop will happily go back to bed for a snooze.

She has shown no interest in toys and has not been destructive in any way. She is not yappy in the slightest and only barks when my dog barks. She has been put in the crate numerous times with no fuss. With another dog I think she can be left fine for a few hours but alone. She is not motivated by food and is not food agressive, she is a moderate eater but loves sausages and cheese! She does not snatch and eats slowly. She loves the garden and likes to go in and out of the garden all day if the sun is shining! She likes to bask in the sun and is a real sun worshipper. She is not scared of household noises like the hoover or hair dryer.

Prim walks well on the lead but is a little bit nervous and due to her size and short legs has only been walked for 15 minutes at a time. I think she would prefer shorter walks more often rather than longer walks. She gets excited to leave the house and bites at the lead before you leave. She stays close her foster brother when she goes out but gets a bit distressed when you stop, she is a power Walker! She has been twice to the vets and has been fine although she does shake due to being nervous but is good as gold. She has been in the car and although she shakes, she sits still when secured and this will probably improve the more, she knows she is going fun places. She likes you to sing her a good song on the car journey and she doesn’t mind how bad your voice is!

Prim will make someone a lovely loyal snuggly companion and I think she would suit someone who is home a lot of the time. She loves to be near you and she likes to sprawl out on the bed or sofa and her back legs stick out behind her or hang over the edge of the sofa. She does not require a lot of exercise and I think a quiet home preferably with a furry friend where she can live out her retirement would be best for her.

MAPLE CAN BE AN ONLY DOG WITH LOTS OF SOCIALISATION

OLDER DOG SAVVY CHILDREN

NOT CATS TESTED

NEUTERING AGREEMENT

TRAINING OR SOCIALISATION CLASSES AGREEMENT

My foster mum has named me Maple and says I’m a mix of bambi and dumbo but I also answer to meatball. I’m 12-17 weeks old and am very special with a blue and brown eye. This comes in very handy as I use my brown eye to look super cute and my blue eye to give you the death stare hahaha. 

I am an Old English Sheepdog and I really do live up to being a Dulux dog as I’ve had great fun getting in the way of my foster family as they have been painting the house lately. I have been sleeping on the floor lately as the weather has been so warm but watch out for me as I can look like a rug.

I like to keep people on their toes by stealing shoes or stones and I like to be under my foster families’ feet and try to trip them up (Hehe). I also like to wind up the other dogs in my foster home with my singing and chatting and If I get hold of a good toy,  stick or branch, I like to run around and hit them in the legs for fun.

Maple likes to follow you around and play tug of war with a rope. She sleeps well and doesn’t care for jumping into bed or on a sofa unless it’s for attention. She has no issues with confidence and will happily greet any visitors to the home with boundless energy. She is currently picked up to go up and down steps and does look a bit taken aback by it. (Not that this will be possible as she gets bigger and heavier).

She has had a nice bath since being in foster as she’s a bit of a tom boy rather than a princess and loves to get dirty. She will tolerate a brush but will nibble on the brush if you’re not keeping an eye on her. Her grooming needs to be a daily task to help with bonding and to keep her looking at her best.

There are no children in the foster home and she has shown no aggression to visiting children who are sensible and dog savvy and has happily sat and receive attention from them.

She has not been cat or small furry tested.

As a puppy she has been a little destructive and will pinch a shoe or bottle and when this happens, she is encouraged to shift her attention to something more suitable like an antler, yakk and toys. She is a puppy after all and this will take time and patience. She isn’t fully toilet trained and does have accidents in the house but this is getting better every day. She isn’t food aggressive and will wait patiently for her food and treats.

Maple hasn’t been out on a walk as she is not fully vaccinated but she has been practicing in the garden. She isn’t keen on the lead and tries to chew it but this again will come in time. She currently tolerates a secured car journey but may needs more room as she moves around a lot on the journey.

Maple needs an active home with lots of attention and playtime. She would be okay with dog savvy children but they need to be older as she jumps and bites when playing and will need a lot of training. We recommend her as an only dog but with plenty of socialisation. She is a beautiful fluff ball of a pup who needs someone who is committed to provide for all her needs.

Maple has a slightly misaligned jaw that will need a check at 6 months old. She will be on an assisted adoption due to this matter which will be discussed with the dog BOSS.
She will need to be spayed when the vets think she is of a suitable size and will coming with a neutering agreement.  

She will also be required to attend puppy or socialisation classes and this will be followed up.

OLDER CAT SAVVY CHILDREN

CAN LIVE WITH OTHER CATS

NOT DOG TESTED

Gary is an 18-month-old domestic shorthair that had a fight with a car that he lost. He has now had his final check up at the vet’s and is ready to find his forever home. Gary’s accident with a car caused him to have a fracture to the roof of his mouth which was wired and has now healed. The fracture also caused damage to his left eye which is only visible when shining a light into it which causes his pupils to dilate differently. It doesn’t seem to affect his vision and should get better with time. If you listen to Gary he said the car came off worse than him. Hahaha

Gary uses the litter tray and scratching post but likes his tray regularly changed. He hasn’t been back outdoors yet and were unsure if he will want to or not. He is super friendly and cuddly preferring to be with you whenever he can.

He is super friendly and loving towards the little person in the home but they are a cat savvy 9yo. He would probably be shyer with forward toddlers

He is in foster with another cat and has been fine. Gary is not dog tested.

Gary is a lover not a fighter and is described by his foster mum as a lovely green-eyed ebony boy who loves nothing more than cuddling up to you. Only the recent heatwave has stopped him from sitting on his fosterer all day, preferring to seek any cooler spot he can find. Just a note to be aware that if you lie down this cuddlebug will quickly make himself comfortable, the nearer your face the better!

Gary has no special requirements he is just really loving and deserves the best of homes

****PLEASE READ THE FULL WRITE UP BEFORE APPLYING****

ONLY DOG

ADULT ONLY HOUSEHOLD

OWNERS HOME MOST OF THE ITME

Wanted; PA to a Very Important Daxie – Sir Enzo of BARKshire
Duties to include… pampering, entertaining, walkies, preparation of meals to his exacting standards, taking calls from his medical adviser and general worshipping.
Enzo is a handsome 3 year old dachshund boy who loves to be active, walking and playing with his toys within the grounds of his manor, he’s looking for someone who understands his quirks and is willing to manage him throughout the day.

Enzo is probably the male K9 version of Beyonce, Stunning to look at, but a bit of a Diva. Just make sure you have plenty of alkaline water which is adequately chilled sitting in your fridge!

Enzo has Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus this means his kidneys are unable to absorb fluids, he’s embarrassed to say he wee’s rather a lot and sometimes doesn’t manage to get out of the house in time. However, he’s a very helpful chap and will often try to bury it using his nose in imaginary soil! UNLIKE normal Diabetes, Enzo DOES NOT need medication to manage his condition, just free access to water at all times and to maintain a healthy body condition. It’s important to remember he drinks a lot because he wee’s a lot and NOT wee’s a lot because he drinks a lot, so restricting his water intake is not an option.

Generally Enzo gets on with humans and will actively seek out his current PA’s company to curl up on her lap, but this very much has to be on Enzo’s terms and he can get very grumpy if he’s forced to do something he doesn’t care to do. He doesn’t like to be disturbed when he’s in his bed (open crate with cover over for night time sleeping) and will complain bitterly if you try to take him out of it. Bigging him up, telling what a good boy he is and/or wiggling a long toy in front of his crate sometimes entices him to get up.

Enzo would like an adult only home no children due to his quirks.

Enzo gets on well with most dogs while taking he’s daily constitutional, but can be choosy who he allows into his inner circle while relaxing at his manor and they will need to be personally approved. He also expects to have the undivided attention of his Personal Assistant and for this reason Enzo would prefer to be an only dog.

Enzo isn’t keen on the neighbour’s cat’s, but doesn’t require the help of security to see them off the premises as he’s happy to do this personally.

Enzo is fond of sleeping in your chair during the day, sometimes he even lets you share. He will tell you he always shares a bed at night with his current PA, (of course this is a blatant lie), but will go to his crate (often muttering under his breath in protest) and bury himself in his blankets when told “Enzo, in your bed”.

Enzo tends to resource guard his food and water, he will get very grumpy if not left alone when at his bowls and will show you his displeasure if you try to pick him up. As explained earlier, Enzo often can’t hold on for a wee, he is embarrassed and doesn’t take too kindly to being told off, so it’s best to say, oh dear and clear it up when he’s not looking.

Enzo’s favourite hobby is finding the squeak, he’s spent many an evening, whiling away the hours, torturing some poor soft toy until it gives up its squeaker, which is thankfully followed by a very quick mercy killing! He’s not deterred by the “Tuff E Nuff” toys either, as he’s a dab hand at performing a Frontal Lobotomy and will swiftly locate the squeaker without killing the patient… we’ve had a duck living here quite happily after this procedure for days!

Enzo likes his PA to be close by in case there’s any important decision to be made about a prospective torturing that evening and so doesn’t like to left on his own for too long, be warned he may consult his Company Lawyers about disciplinary action if left for what he considers an unreasonable time!

Enzo loves nothing better than a long walk in the woods, he doesn’t wander too far from his existing PA and always returns when asked politely. He travels well in carriages although he takes offence to riding in the cheap seats and will make his displeasure known. He is well behaved with his medical advisors and is always a hit with the nurses, such a flirt!

Enzo would like to find a palatial home, with large drinking fountains, a Michelin Star Chef to prepare his meals and a servant to pander to his every whim, however a home with a garden, a large bowl of water, good food and a human who adores him is absolutely fine.

Enzo is a delightful boy who will endear you when you first meet, but he’s also a typical stubborn Mini Sausage and will need someone who is experienced with the breed and can understand & manage his moods with kindness.

If you would like to be consider for the position of PA to Sir Enzo, please submit your C.V. in writing below.

CALM RESIDENT DOG

NOT CATS TESTED

CHILDERN 10 AND OVER

OWNERS HOME MOST OF THE TIME

Flint is a handsome 8 year old Maltese with a beautiful nature. He came to us due to a change in circumstances in his previous home and has clearly been adored as he’s super friendly and loving. His foster mum describes him as being very calm, peaceful and loving. He loves nothing more than a comfy lap to snuggle up on and would make a perfect companion in a quiet home where there is family around most of the time. He would appreciate the company of a calm resident dog as he’s a sociable little chap who welcomes visitors with open paws.

Flint would like a home with older children and a calm resident dog who can help him explore his desire to be little adventurer. He doesn’t enjoy rough and tumble play but likes the company and someone to show him the ropes

He has not been cat tested but has been luckily enough to meet a bearded dragon showing no interest.

Flint is house trained there were a few accidents when he first arrived in foster but his could have been the change in circumstances. He may have previously used a crate but has settled well into using a dog bed. He gave my dog a few growls when they first met but he soon relaxed and now he loves to cuddle up with him. He would definitely appreciate a nice lap to curl up on when he gets the chance. He likes to be involved in everything so will happily follow foster mum around the house. He eats well and is happy to try new things. He has shown no aggression around food unless the resident dog tries to pinch his treats, then he will let her know she’s being rude, but only verbally, in quite a gentle way. He doesn’t yet play with toys but this may come in time. Flint doesn’t like to be left for long periods of time and gets really excited when his foster mum returns.

Flint travels really well in the car. He is happy to walk on a lead and will approach me to put his harness on. He hasnt met many other dogs because he hadn’t been fully vaccinated. He was confident at the vets and very keen to shout at the other dogs from a distance.

Flint would like a kind and loving home with a family who have time to spoil him. He would suit someone who is around most of the time. He wants a resident dog who can show him the joys of squirrel watching and how him the best trees to have a good sniff on. He may not want to go far on his walks but he will want to go and explore

Badem D2021-112

***PLEASE READ THE FULL WRITE UP BEFORE APPLYING****

FEMALE RESIDENT DOG ONLY OR COULD BE AN ONLY DOG IF OWNER HOME MOST OF THE TIME

OLDER DOG SAVVY CHILDREN

Badem is a 2.5 year old Poodle cross and is described by his foster mum as a real people person. He just adores attention but is also just as happy to relax in the lounge while his foster mum goes about household chores. If he were allowed to, he would be by your side every minute of the day. He has been great company and normally spends a good portion of the day sleeping while his foster mum works on a laptop.

Badem had an accident that resulted in his left back leg being amputated. He has been fully rehabbed and has good muscle tone. He seems very comfortable on 3 legs and doesn’t need special treatment or carrying. However, just keep an eye on him and if you notice any change get medical advice.

Badem is still a young boy and loves to play with his human and toys. He loves his walks and gets very excited to see his lead. He is very agile on his 3 legs and spins around like a mad thing with excitement.

Badem absolutely loves people and will try to get as much attention as you’re willing to give. He will roll around on top of you and has no concept of size or personal space. He is the most loving affectionate boy. He gets a lot of confidence and comfort from his human so will need someone who is looking for that strong bond.

Badem doesn’t like his face being groomed but is a good boy in the bath.

Badem has an unexpectedly deep growl, which he uses when he scratches his own ears with his back paw, chews a toy, or on occasion at another dog. It has been hard to hear much difference between these growls and due to the deep tone, they can all sound menacing. However, he is not meaning to communicate aggression in all of these situations. He will need a dog companion that won’t take offence to his vocal nature but not a resident male dog.

Badem likes his own space next to his human and will have a grumble at another dog when he doesn’t get his way. These do not escalate as he’s very responsive to his human but if Badem were placed in a home with a dominant resident dog and feels he has to fight for his place/attention it may do. He is happy to share attention with another dog as long as he feels he’s still involved. Due to this, Badem would be well suited to a home with a gentle, independent female dog of any size.

Badem is great out on walks but can bark at passing dogs if he feels threatened. This normally happens once or twice a walk and seems to be directed at male dogs who are not castrated. He has not been tested off lead and has no recall training. He is surprisingly fast on his 3 legs and loves to run.

Badem has not been cat tested.

Badem is housetrained but has marked within the lounge twice. He is currently in foster with a male chihuahua which could have contributed to him doing this. He is used to using puppy pads at night or if left for a short period during the day.

He likes to sleep on the bed and loves to cuddle before spreading out at the bottom for sleep. However, he will also happily sleep in the lounge at night with the other dogs, in his current foster.

Badem is learning to play with toys as he has a tendency to play with your hands. He is gentle but can get excitable and slightly nip. He will need someone willing to work with him and show him what he can and can’t play with.  

Badem is not food aggressive and will allow his human to pick his food bowl up while eating. He likes a bowl that will stay still while he eats; eating on 3 legs when your bowl is moving every time your nose goes in, can get frustrating! He loves his food but can feel insecure when eating and will warn other dogs to stay away and potential owners need to be aware of this.

Badem is great at being left for a couple of hours and will sleep on the couch in the lounge, with the other foster dogs. He will bark when you initially leave the house but settles down very quickly.

He is great in the car and will sit in his harness attached to the backseat. He was very good at the vets as he loves people.

Badem needs a home with a resident submissive/independent female dog or could equally be homed as a single dog if owners were home most of the time. He would be best placed with adults or a household with older dog savvy children. He needs someone/family willing to be his best friend/s and who won’t mind him being a little limpet! A home that will continue to work with him and train him as he’s very much a young dog (puppyhood delayed slightly by his accident). He is friendly and inquisitive and would find training very stimulating.

Neutered Male

Microchipped, Vaccinated and up to date flea and wormer

Fostered in the Barry area of South Wales

Badem comes with 5 weeks free Agria pet insurance

RESIDENT DOG

SENSIBE DOG SAVVY CHILDREN

OWNERS HOME MOST OF THE TIME

Violet is an 8 year old Maltese that will make a wonderful addition to any home. She came into foster due to a family’s change in circumstances and she has clearly been adored. She has the waggiest, cutest little bottom that we have ever seen and we have seen a lot of bottoms. She is a friendly, happy soul who loves cuddles and fuss. She loves people & is very much a lap dog. Prospective owners must be prepared to carry on with her princess status in her forever home

Violet loves the resident dogs in her foster home and follows them around like a little shadow. She enjoys a good play in the garden and likes to dart about the garden.

She was very good when she had a bath and loved being brushed afterwards as it was her being the centre of attention

The vet didn’t find any medical issues, her right eye has a birth defect & her right rear knee is a lot lax but nothing to bother her or worry the vet

There are no children in the foster home however she was very good when she met the neighbour’s 5 & 9 year old

She has fitted in well with the resident dogs in the home and likes to be wherever they are. She has been having lead practice in the garden to prepare her for the outside world and has been doing great. The resident dogs have been telling her all about squirrels and trees and she cant wait to see for herself. They have told her that the right tree is important to find as the sniffs give her all the gossip from the other dogs in the area.

Violet has not been cat tested

Violet settled into her foster home almost immediately (well after almost falling over a few times as her tail was wagging so fast). She is an absolute sweetie. She is house trained but had a few accidents while she settled.

Violet only has 4 teeth but despite this she eats her grain free Harringtons really well. She initially tried eating out of one of the other dog’s bowl but learnt that she has a bowl of her own. She has been left for a few hours on her own in the company of the other dogs and has been fine.

Violet would like a home where someone is home most of the time with a resident dog that can show her the best trees to sniff for all the gossip. A family who will completely adore and pamper her and continue her journey through life building on the loving foundations she has received.

Neutered Female

Microchipped, Vaccinated and up to date flea and wormer

Fostered in the Port Talbot area of South Wales

Violet will come with 5 weeks free Agria pet insurance

****PLEASE READ THE FULL WRITE UP BEFORE APPLYING****

CHILDREN 12 AND OVER

ONLY DOG IF RESIDENT IS HOME MOST OF THE TIME

OR A MALE RESIDENT DOG

CAT FRIENDLY

ACTIVE BUT PATIENT HOME

Willow is an adorable 2 year old little Cavachon. She has the sweetest face which tilts when you look at her and your heart can’t help but melt. She is an intelligent little girl and will sit and give you her paw and knows when it is time for walkies. She is very affectionate once she gets to know you. She loves her foster mum to distraction and is never far from her side whether it be watching TV, cooking in the kitchen or outside “helping” with the gardening.

Willow has no known health issues.

Willow is a little wary when she first meets people but once you show her you are her friend, she will gingerly approach you to say hello. She has shown some fear of men but we have been working on this and she is now a little more comfortable if she meets a male she knows.

Willow is fearful of small children and will bark at them and shown signs of being uncomfortable. She has lived with children before but she would need a home with older children 12 years plus.

Willow is being fostered as an only dog however she has met dogs on walks and is always pleased to meet the smaller dogs and shows signs of wanting to interact. She has met two male dogs on a one to one basis and has behaved impeccably. Sadly Willow has shown in the past that she does not like to share her home with female dogs.

Willow shares her foster home with four cats. She has a special bond with the siamese cat and they sometimes sit nose to nose and the cat wouldn’t leave her side after she was spayed.

When Willow first came into rescue she had quite a few accidents in the house however she is more or less housetrained now. She has shown no interest in toys. She eats well loves her food and has not shown any food aggression when around the cats. Willow has been destructive in the home when left, she does not like to be alone without her human and has registered her anxiety by eating wallpaper and chewing her crate. This is being worked on and she can now be left in a crate for a couple of hours during the day. She will also sleep downstairs in her crate at night.

Willow absolutely loves her walks. She brings her lead to foster mum when she sees her putting on her walking shoes. She travels well in a crate in the car and has been a very good girl at the vets.

Willow needs a home where there is someone home the majority of the day. Older children only. She doesn’t like being left so someone who is prepared to be patient and has the time work on her separation anxiety. She needs an active home where she can have lots of nice walks. She could be an only dog but a home with a calm resident male dog would be considered. No female dogs. Full details will be discussed with potential adopters. Willow is a delightful little girl who in the right home will continue to flourish and will be the most loving and loyal little companion you could ever wish for.

Frankie D2021-105

****PLEASE READ THE FULL WRITE UP BEFORE APPLYING****

Can be an only dog

Flat face experience needed

Happy with sensible dog savvy children

No cats

Owners home most of the time

Frankie is a loveable 5 year old French Bulldog who is described by his foster mum as a gentle giant of a Frenchie! She loves her food, her chew toy and her daily walks. She is a people dog and loves to snuggle on the sofa. She doesn’t realise her size and will try her best to be a lap dog so you may end up getting squashed!! She can be a typically needy Frenchie and will paw at you to pet her and follow you around the house! She is usually impeccably behaved and can be left to have the run of the downstairs without the worry of destroying anything.

Frankie is toilet trained and has never had an accident in the house. She will paw at the door if she wants to go out. She usually waits for her morning and eve walks to poo so rarely messes in the garden! She has a few quirks in that she likes digging in the garden and doesn’t like being left alone and will howl initially but settles quickly and finds somewhere to sleep.

She initially barks at new people but very quickly they become her new best friend! She’s a very gentle dog and is happy to be handled. Frankie would fit very easily into many types of homes as she just craves the love and attention she deserves. She has been a delight to foster and I will miss her greatly.

Frankie came to me with skin allergies and is taking 2x antihistamines a day. She is also on a grain free diet which has really helped. Her breathing is also poor and she’s been confirmed as a suitable candidate for boas which the charity will pay for.

She is scared of the bath but will let you lift her in and out without any issues. She needs her ears cleaned and to have drops in them but she hates them and will run as soon as she sees the bottle.  

Frankie came from a family with children and has met lots in her time with her foster family. I think she would be fine with children of all ages as she’s generally quite a calm dog.

Frankie is an only dog within her foster family but has gone on walk with friend’s dogs and has shown little reaction. She usually walks well on a lead but can sometimes pull with excitement when she sees other dogs She’s a little bit mixed on walks. For the majority of time she is calm and meets other dogs politely but on occasion can get over excited and bark until they meet.

She hasn’t been tested with a cat in the home but has gone to chase a neighbour’s cat.

Frankie currently sleeps on her own in the kitchen on her bed with a stair gate across the door. She sleeps throughout the night with no fuss although she needs bribing with a treat to get her into the kitchen from the sofa!

She eats a mixture of dry and wet grain free food (for her allergies) twice a day and enjoys grain free/natural treats.
She’s not destructive at all (apart from chewing a pencil once!) and like to chew on chew toys. She gets too excitable to play with her ball at the moment as it affects her breathing too much, but it’s something I know she will enjoy hopefully after her operation. She’s not food or toy aggressive.

Frankie travels well in the car. Frankie has been good at the vets.

Frankie would love a home where she would be the princess and get lots of fuss and attention but also have space to have time on her own. She would love a garden to potter around and play fetch in. She needs a person or family that understand and takes into consideration her flat face needs and allergies. She enjoyins her twice daily walks but due to her breathing and the hot weather at the moment can only walk for short distances so families who like to go on long hikes wouldn’t be suitable for her.
Frankie will be a perfect dog for the right family.

Saffy

Can live with other cats

Can live with dogs with careful introductions

Sensible children

Could be an indoor as long as she has lots of company

She also likes access to the outdoor with her forever family

Saffy is an incredibly sweet 7 year old who loves company and adores fusses. She is an unusual silver grey and white colour that really stands out. After getting to know her foster home she has become foster mum’s shadow and flops down wherever foster mum is and loves watching TV in the evenings on the arm of the sofa next to her. She is the perfect cat for someone wanting a loving, friendly companion.

Unusually for a cat she will often come when called, but expects lots of attention after putting in that effort! She has just started to explore the garden a little, but shows no intention of wandering far from her home comforts. She also gets on well with the other cats in her foster home. She is very clean and loves her biscuits, sometimes a little too much! She is on restricted amounts and has already lost a little weight, but this needs to continue.

Saffy would be fine with other cats and probably dogs too as she doesn’t react to the dogs barking in the neighbourhood as long as introductions are carefully handled.

Saffy is super sensitive on her mid to lower back and if you touch her there, she stress licks her front legs. This has been fully vet checked and they believe it is a learned behaviour rather than anything more sinister. She isn’t brushed due to this reason.  

Any children in the household would need to understand that she doesn’t enjoy being touched in these areas. She is a confident lady and not easily spooked so a busy household wouldn’t necessarily bother her.

Saffy could easily be an indoor cat as she only comes in the garden to be with her foster family and always wants fusses. As soon as you are near, she meows asking for attention. She would like a home with someone around for company as she just wants to be with them.

Saffy has no quirky traits, she is just a super chilled lady who is happy. She is also good with bunnies and happily shares her garden with them.

Harri D2021-113

****PLEASE READ THE FULL WRITE UP BEFORE APPLYING****

HARRI COULD LIVE WITH A PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOR OR COULD BE AN ONLY DOG AS LONG AS HE HAS LOTS OF DOGGY FRIENDS THAT HE CAN SEE DAILY AND OWNERS WHO WOULD BE HOME MOST OF THE TIME

WOULDN’T RECOMMEND CATS OR SMALL FURRIES

OLDER CHILDREN

Harri is adorable 3 year old Setter that has the super power of only having 3 legs. He loves life, everyone and finds every new experience fun. He is full of energy, positivity and his happiness is contagious. Hari’s world is all about fun and adventure. He is very loving and adores being fussed and cuddled. He gets on well with all dogs (currently being fostered with 4 other dogs of various sizes). He is starting to learn to walk on a lead doubled with a harness and is doing well, he just wants to explore everything whilst walking and can be a little all over the place so will need help focusing on walks. He would love to run free but will need recall training to enable him to do this safely.

Harri has no known health issues apart from his missing leg.

As Harri is quite large and very boisterous, he would not be suitable to be in a home with small children as he would probably knock them over. He would be fine with older children who are used to big, boisterous dogs.

Harri loves other dogs and is happy living with all sizes of dogs. He would happily rush up to every dog he meets on a walk so needs to learn basic training. He has not been on walks in his foster home as not had second vaccination, but has done some basic training in the garden. He is very quick to learn and responds well to being told to leave when meeting another dog. He would be happy in a home with other dogs or on his own as long as he gets opportunities to socialise with other dogs.

Harri has not been cat or small furry tested and we would be wary as he wants to play with everything

Harri is 99% housetrained going outside to toilet but occasionally forgets. His training will need to continue to stop him and praise him when he gets it right. He happily sleeps on a rug in the hall or on a cosy dog bed in an open crate. He is gradually getting brave enough to come into the living room but has not yet ventured to sleep on the sofas. He adores toys he can chase and will catch tennis balls all day. He loves nothing better than to lie in the garden playing with a toy. He happily shares his toys with the other dogs in his foster home and if a bigger or smaller dog takes his toy, he will get another one. He is such a chilled out boy. He has destroyed the odd toy to get to the squeaky but has not otherwise been destructive in the home.

Harri eats well and is having a mix of wet and dried food. He eats away from the other dogs but is not at all aggressive over his food bowl. He is happy for others to come along and lick it clean after he has eaten. He hasn’t been left alone for long and when he is he is with the other dogs but doesn’t like to be left for too long.  

Harri is an early riser and likes to sing with the birds which is by woofing to the world that he is happy to be alive and safe. Once he has had his morning sing song and a wee he will happily go back to bed for a few more hours napping and dreaming of his adventures for the day. This is being worked on in his foster home and training will need to continue.

Harri travels really well in a car on the back seat with the seat belt attached to his harness and lies quietly. He could travel in a crate but may need help getting into it. He adores going to the vets as he sees this as another wonderful adventure.

Harri needs a forever home with at least one other active, playful dog with owners who can continue his training and take him on adventures. He could live with older children as he’s so playful he may accidently knock any little ones over. He needs a forever family where someone will be home for most of the time and will continue his training in a positive manner.

Neutered Male

Microchipped, Vaccinated and up to date flea and wormer

Harri will come with 5 weeks free Agria pet insurance

****PLESAE READ THE FULL WRITE UP BEFORE APPLYING

NEEDS AT LEAST ONE OTHER RESIDENT DOG IN THE HOME

NOT CAT TESTED

PATIENT ADULT ONLY HOME WITH OWNERES AROUND MOST OF THE TIME

Peanut is a 4 year old Maltese who is described by her foster mum as a lovely girl who loves going on walks but has to have another dog to show her the way. She loves her food and does a little dance when its being lovingly prepared by her foster mum. Peanut is fully housetrained. She is not a lap dog but will sleep next to you on the couch. She is still a little nervous of humans but with love and patience she is coming on in leaps and bounds. She likes to play chase around the garden until she has had enough and she will chase a ball around. She does not as yet like to be picked up by people she doesn’t know and keeps that just for her foster mum at the moment as they have formed a bond.

Peanut has no health problems

Peanut is nervous of people that she doesn’t know and likes to make a bond with those closest to her before she will let you groom and touch her. She now happily lets foster mum groom and stroke her and new adopters need to be mindful that it will take a little time to build your own bond and for her to trust her own family.

Peanut is scared of children and goes and hides so an adult only home would be best

Peanut loves all dogs and gets quite excited when we meet other dogs on our walks. She needs a home with at least one or two other dogs in the home to give her the confidence to be a rescue ambassador in the big wide world.

Peanut has not been cat or small furry tested

Peanut sleeps with the resident dogs on the couch or in her foster mums bed basically wherever she wants to sleep, we do not use a crate in our foster home. She is not destructive at all either with food or toys. She has been left for a few hours and has been fine as long as she is with the resident dogs.

Peanut loves going on her walks but she has to go with her doggo pals for confidence. She travels in a secure doggy car seat and loves it and is great at the vets

Peanut needs an adult only home with at least one resident dog that she can learn and play with. She would like owners who are around for most of the time and can help her grow into the dog she should have always been.

RESIDENT DOG OR DOGS A MUST

CHILDREN 7 AND OVER

NOT CAT OR SMALL FURRY TESTED

PATIENT OWNERS WHO CAN SHOW HER HOW AN ADORED PET IS TREATED

Azalea is a 5 year old ex breeding westie that had previously never lived in a home or knew what it was to be adored family member. Despite her unfortunate start she loves cuddles and attention and can be very affectionate. She has really settled since being in foster and her cheeky character is starting to shine through. She’s even good with visitors that have been to the house and didn’t shy away from strangers. Approaching then carefully and putting her paws on their legs for a head scratch.

She doesn’t yet jump up on the sofa for cuddles but her foster mum thinks that she soon will as she is gaining in confidence daily. She loves the other dogs in her foster home and takes her queue from them. She is currently fed on soft food but will eat anything. She likes to do a little tap dance for you as you prepare her food and especially likes to steal her foster brothers kibble when he’s not looking or clean up whatever the children drop on the floor.

She isn’t playing with toys yet but loves funny sounds and if you pretend to meow or bark, she goes running around looking and barking to see where it’s come from. She is not food or toy aggressive and has been left for a few hours with the other dogs and has been absolutely fine.

Azalea hasn’t been for a walk yet as she’s been waiting to have her vaccinations which are now booked. With most dog like her lead walking will come with the confidence she gets from being in a stable home with another resident dog or dogs.

Azalea had a mammary lump removed on arrival into foster and also only has two teeth… but do not be fooled… you wouldn’t know. She also has a cauliflower ear as a result of an untreated infection before she came into our care.

Azalea has not been cat or small furry tested.

She does not like the stairs and currently will not walk up or down them

Housetraining is a work in progress and she can be a bit hit and miss with puppy pads. She needs lots of encouragement when she does get it right and this will encourage her to progress

At night she sleeps on a huge pile of blankets in the front room and settles well sleeping all night with the other dogs.

She is great in the car and has been amazing at the vets.

Azalea deserves a home where she can have fun and be the dog she has never been. She is still coming out of her shell and has been through a lot with medical treatments since she arrived in foster, but it is clear she is a very loving, fun dog who will continue to thrive and come out of her shell more in the right forever home.

NEEDS A CALM RESIDENT DOG

SENSIBLE, CALM CHILDREN 12 AND OVER

NOT CAT TESTED

PATIENT OWNERS AROUND MOST OF THE TIME

Bentley is a 4 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who was a very nervous boy when he first arrived in foster. He didn’t seem to have any trust in people and can be very jumpy with loud noises and sudden movements. Since being in foster he is coming around slowly and is starting to trust his foster family and absolutely adores other dogs.

Bentley loves food and treats and will come and slowly take a treat from your hand. He is starting to show the happy cheeky side of his personality, which is wonderful to see. He is nearly there with his house training and just has the odd accident

He is still wary of strangers and is nervous of human contact but due to his love of food this is progressing nicely and positively. His new family just need to take their time and go at his pace and the trust will come.

Bentley has not met many children and would not cope with young or boisterous children as he is nervous of sudden movement and loud noise

Bentley is not cat tested

Bentley will sleep on dog bed, blanket or sofa as long as he is with another dog. He hasn’t been destructive at all and hasn’t played with toys yet but we find this will come in its own time. He hasn’t been left for more than a few hours as long as he is with another dog.

Bentley really loves his food and is currently eating soft food as he has had some teeth removed,

Bentley is not currently lead trained as he is still scared of the big wide world, however we know this will probably come in time and just needs to feel safe, gain confidence from another dog and trust his forever human.

Bentley was fine in the car on short journeys and was very brave at the vets

Bentley needs a home with another dog to show him how to be a dog. He needs a family with plenty of time and patience to help him build his trust and confidence around people and in the big wide world. Given this time and encouragement he is going to make a wonderful pet.

CALM RESIDENT DOG

CHILDREN 12 AND OVER

NOT CAT TESTED

OWNERS AROUND MOST OF THE TIME

Moss is a 5 year old Cocker Spaniel who is described by her foster mum as the soppiest, softest girl who adores attention. Living in a home is new to Moss but she has bravely embraced this new life and is such a good girl. She’s happy to be left without fuss or noise, for a few hours. She likes to snuggle up to the other dogs when humans aren’t around. But if it’s a choice, she’s a people person! This girl never stops wagging her tail, she is just so happy to have company and a cosy couch.

Moss is a delight to groom as she has the softest coat and thoroughly enjoys the attention. She is happy to have her feet groomed and ears cleaned without fuss.

She can be shy on meeting new people and will slowly and tentatively greet them in the hope of attention. As soon as they give her attention, she relaxes but will keep an eye on their movements. Quick movements can scare her but she recovers quickly and her general trust is growing stronger daily.

Moss hasn’t been tested with children whilst in her foster home and may struggle with the unpredictability of younger children’s quick movements and loud noises. However, her soft personality would suggest she’d be great with children aged 12 and over that can understand her gentle character.

Moss loves the comfort and support of another dog in the home. She likes to snuggle up to a doggy friend when left alone. Moss is currently in foster with a chihuahua with a big personality and this hasn’t phased her in the slightest. She isn’t aggressive and even when he tells her off, she wags her tail and lets him have his moment. Moss would like a home that has a gentle and calm resident dog to provide comfort and show her the way.

Moss hasn’t been cat tested but is very gentle with a chihuahua boy.

Moss is a quiet girl in the home, happiest when in the same room as her person/s. She is currently sleeping in a dog bed next to the human bed but enjoys cuddles in bed, so much so it can take some time to encourage her to sleep a whole night in her own bed. Moss would be fine left sleeping with a resident dog, in another room from her person/s but she wouldn’t cope well with sleeping alone.

Moss really enjoys her food and rushes through it to try and dip her nose in her foster sister’s bowl. She isn’t food aggressive but she does take any opportunity to sneak that nose in.

Moss hasn’t shown an interest in toys yet but if encouraged, her playful side may appear when she’s feeling settled and confident in her situation.

Moss is nearly toilet trained but isn’t great at telling you when she needs to go. If she has a way out she will choose to go to the toilet outside. In the night Moss goes to the toilet on puppy pads. Toilet training will need to continue in her new home. Moss is very timid when leaving the house for vet visits. She has no experience walking on a lead or of the outside world and will need someone who has the time and patience to very slowly introduce her to the world. She is interested in everything and gets great confidence from being with her person so I imagine she will really enjoy exploring/walks. Moss was such a good girl in the vets. She was very scared but showed no signs of aggression.

Moss needs a home with a gentle, calm resident dog to guide her and provide comfort. She would like an owner who is around for most of the time and wouldn’t cope being left for long periods. She is such a wonderful girl who is a massive softy. She loves sleeping deeply on the couch for hours and frequently dreams, making sounds and movements. She would be a great addition to any family.

Rocky D2021-95

****PLEASE READ THE FULL WRITE UP BEFORE APPLYING****

COULD LIVE WITH OR WITHOUT ANOTHER DOG

NEEDS A KIND FAMILY WHO CAN SET RULES AND BOUNDARIES

OLDER DOG SAVVY CHILDREN

Rocky is a 7 year old Chihuahua described by his mum as an independent middle aged man who adores a lap and a soft blanket. He will take a couple of weeks to settle in any new home, but when you have his trust, he is the most loyal, affectionate and playful boy. His foster Mum says that he makes her smile daily with his big personality.

It will be important for Rocky to understand his place in your home, so setting boundaries and rules straight away will be critical. This works both ways. Listen to Rocky as he will clearly communicate his boundaries with you. After a few days of consistent repetition of your boundaries, he will happily follow them.

Rocky’s rules are as follows:
If you sit, your lap is fair game.
Being dressed in dog clothes is not appreciated.
I will guard you, always.
Visitors will be initiated slowly and must also understand that sitting is an invitation but Rocky still reserves the right to bark at them when they get up and leave.
Daily walks are appreciated but it’s a pass if it’s heavy rain/big weather!
Eating in a safe place (on a chair, while others are on the floor) is appreciated when eating around other dogs.

Rocky has no known health issues.

Rocky takes time to trust new people. He will build a strong bond with you but this may take a few months. When he trusts you, he loves to be held like a baby and receive tummy rubs in your arms. He will sleep under the bed covers without you knowing that’s he’s even there. You will be greeted with the biggest toothy grin and bum waggle motion at every opportunity. You will become his playmate and he will hop towards you in a cheeky fashion, bouncing around.

When you have visitors, it will be important to set clear boundaries and routines to train Rocky how to behave. He will bark at visitors, do not pick him up in this situation. Try to designate an area for Rocky to wait while guests enter so that he cannot run to greet the visitor uncontrolled. He is very responsive and you can manoeuvre him by walking towards him (use your body) to position him in the same spot/area each time. When you return with a visitor, encourage him to come to you, by the visitor, and give him attention and confidence to say hi to the visitor. Treats always help! However, you may find better ways to set rules for him as you learn about each other in your home or if you have chihuahua experience already!

Rocky would happily live with children 14 and over who understand his size and rules.

Rocky could live with dog savvy cats.

Rocky can be left for several hours and will happily sleep on the couch.
Currently, Rocky is separated from the kitchen and upstairs by a baby gate. He is happy to wait in the lounge while his foster Mum goes about her business in the house. He enjoys a blanket to tunnel under and snooze the day away wrapped up like a burrito!

Rocky likes to sleep in bed with his human. You may be able to transition him to a dog bed, within the bedroom, or with other dogs in another room. This may take a few weeks for him to accept but as long as he has company and a blanket, he will settle.
Rocky is great company for his foster Mum and (unless someone knocks the door!) he will sleep and play the day away.
He likes to mark in the house, especially if there is a change i.e new dog or something to make him feel unsure. He will go to the toilet outside as normal but will need consistent training to stop marking.

Rocky is great out on walks and trots proudly at your side. He loves to stop and sniff/mark everything. He will try to guard you from people and dogs that he finds intimidating, so will need someone willing to continue his training to help him become more secure. He likes to say hi to lots of dogs and is more confident approaching dogs than he is people.

Rocky could live with anyone who is willing to take the time to understand and listen to him. He is the most affectionate, funny little guy who would bring joy to anyone who will give him the time he needs to create a strong bond. He would happily live with another dog; if a medium/large breed they would need to be gentle, if a small breed they need to be slightly independent and not likely to take offence to his vocal nature.

HOME WITH OR WITHOUT A RESIDENT DOG

NO CATS (HES WARY OF THEM)

OLDER CHILDREN DUE TO HIS SIZE

ACTIVE HOME

OWNERS LOOKING TO IMPROVE HIS TRAINING

Marlow is a 4 year old red Labrador who is a very playful and loving dog. He enjoys his walks, his food and spending time with humans. He interacts well with other dogs in the home and dogs he meets on walks. He’s wary of cats but stays away from them.

Marlow has some basic training and it’s felt that he could do more fun based training as he is eager to please. He gets excited when it’s food time but will sit and wait for his bowl to be put down before eating. He is such a lovely dog with a beautiful face and would be such a great companion.

Marlow loves any attention, he enjoys being groomed and stroked, and will settle down for cuddles.

Feel teenagers and older best due to Marlow’s size and playfulness

Marlow would like a resident dog in his forever home or lots of doggy friends that he can play with as he loves running around and rough playing He walks well on a lead and doesn’t pull. He’s very good with dogs he meets out on walks but hasn’t been off lead yet.

Marlow would prefer a cat free home as he’s been swiped by foster mums cat a few times and is wary of them. He has shown no aggression towards the cats even when he’s been swiped.

Marlow is housetrained and sleeps on the floor in the bedroom at night and on the floor when foster mum is in the lounge. He is not destructive at all and likes to play with toys and loves squeaky balls. Marlow will bark for a minute when left but soon settles down.

Marlow was very good at the vets.

Marlow would benefit from a home with or without another dog, as long as the humans are active and around most of the time. He would enjoy an active home as he loves going on walks and playing.

RESIDENT DOG OF A SIMILAR SIZE

OLDER CHILDREN DUE TO HER SIZE

2 years old

Brie is a 2 year old Poodle cross Old English Sheepdog who is absolutely gorgeous. She is very shy at first but given time & space she learns to trust and is very gentle and sweet natured. She loves a good walk and a good cuddle up with her humans. She’s a smart young girl who is super keen to learn.

Brie has had skin issues that have been addressed and now looks great and is in good health.

She has seen children from a distance with no reaction but would recommend older children due to her size.

Brie would benefit from the company of another dog due to her shy/submissive character and this will give her confidence in her forever home. She is good with other dogs and is currently living with 16 others. She likes her space but is definitely a pack animal.

In her previously life she lived on a farm and has been great with foster mums’ nawty chickens and other animals

Brie is fully house trained, not destructive and will happily use a crate. She has been left a few hours with the others and has been fine. She is not currently interested in toys but this may change in her forever home. She eats very well and is not food aggressive. She sleeps down stairs with the other dogs and is very happy. She also likes to curl up on the sofa and watch a movie or read a book with her forever human.

Brie is great on walks, she listens and has a good recall. She is confident and happy walking on and off lead. She does dribble when traveling but isn’t vocal and lays down quickly. She was great at the vets.

Brie would like a home with other dogs that is reasonably busy and fur siblings that have lots of energy. She loves a good long walk but equally likes a snooze on the sofa with you too. She is the easiest going dog that deserves the best of homes.

SENSIBLE DOG SAVVY CHILDREN

RESIDENT DOG OR DOGS OF A SIMILAR SIZE

PATIENT AND CALM HOME

Latte is a beautiful 5 year old ex-breeding girl with the most beautiful little face, she didn’t have the best start in life but she’s now learning everyday in her foster home. She likes to watch everything around her and absolutely adores being around and snuggled up to other dogs.

Latte was not overly familiar with human touch when she arrived and her foster mum has had to slowly gain her trust and build up her confidence around all humans, it’s still work in progress but latte is gaining small amounts of confidence daily and her cheeky little character is slowly but surely emerging. She is happy for you to slowly and gently groom her and will pretty much tolerate with encouragement having her nails clipped. She does not like being picked up and will jump and shake in fear but she is learning slowly and at times she will surprise her foster mum and not make a fuss.

Latte is not happy around small loud children and will run for cover when approached. Older children with a patient manner that understands not to rush latte or invade her space may be suitable.

Latte absolutely adores all dogs male and female and would like to stay close to them at all times. She continuously follows her foster brother and sister around the house and is intrigued by everything they do. She can now get up on the settee with her foster brother and sister but has not yet worked out how to get down so she gets quite upset if they get down and leave her and will bark and cry under her breathe until she is helped down and she can find them again then she is happy and waggy.

Latte has not been tested with cats or small furries.

Latte is happy pottering around in the garden or sleeping with her foster siblings. She is fully house trained and she has not had one accident in the house. She’s clean through the night and sleeps on her foster mums bed or on the floor wherever her foster siblings are sleeping will do. She cannot get up on the bed so needs to be helped by her foster mum but this is not important as she would be very happy sleeping where ever her doggy friend’s sleep.

Latte is not confident on a lead yet due to her not being fully vaccinated until recently she has not had the opportunity to go for lovely walks. Lead walking will be work in progress and must be continued in her forever home. Latte travels in a crate in the car and settles well. She is not fond of the vets as most dogs aren’t and will shake and worry. With lots of encouragement from her foster mum she will eventually settle.

Latte needs a home with at least one other dog or a few other doggie friends that are happy to teach her life is now good. she is at her happiest when she’s around any dogs and learns quickly from them, she relies massively on them in everything she does and would not progress at all as an only dog. Her humans would need to be patient to slowly earn her trust. Routines seem to be working in her foster home as she now knows what time she’s having breakfast and tea and will wake her foster mum up in the morning when she wants her breakfast or the toilet. Her new family need to understand that latte is not going to be comfortable with her humans overnight and it is going to take time to build that trust but once she lets that guard down and relaxes you will see she really is a darling girl just wanting to be loved.

Needs a quiet home can be an only dog or a calm resident dog would be considered.

He needs to be within an hours drive of The Ralph vets in Marlow to continue his surgery

Older children

Bulldog experience home would be beneficial

No other pets or small furries in the home

Leo is a 9 month old American Bully who is an absolutely gorgeous little man full of love & Joy for life. He has a cheeky little character and is super smart. He has had a very sad start in life but seems mostly unaffected by it all. He truly lives for now and is a very happy little soul

Leo has suffered a lot of broken bones, poor boy. Both of his hips have now been mended and he is healing very well. He still has one more surgery to be carried out on his front leg once he is more mature in about 3 months. (This procedure is covered by the vet) Leo is also partially blind, which doesn’t bother him. He enjoys most of his physio exercises & his weekly hydro sessions.

Leo loves people and is excited to meet everyone. He doesn’t jump up but greets with great excitement. He adores being touched and fussed.

Leo has seen children at the vets and seems good with them but we would recommend older children as he is a little uncoordinated with his blindness and could knock over small children by accident.

Leo is good with other dogs however he is still young, bouncy and excitable and still needs some training. Because of Leo’s next procedure (he will need a lot of rest) a home with no other dogs or a calm resident dog. He is sociable with the other dogs but also quite independent and happy to take himself off

There can be no other small animals in the home (cats, chickens, rabbits etc)

Leo is crate trained and likes to sleep in one at night. He also enjoys destroying his toys, but only his toys he’s not destructive in the home at all. He loves his toys, but is not aggressive over them. He is house trained & can be left for a few hours alone. He absolutely loves his food, although he was a little nervous to begin with.

Leo is a bouncy boy and is partially blind. This means walks with him tend not to be in a straight line, but he is nicely behaved. He doesn’t like to travel, whining, pacing and panting a lot to begin with but will settle. He is fantastic with the Vets, as sadly he has spent most of his young life in them.

Leo would like a home where he can be loved and adored. He wants a quite house with no raised voices. He likes attention but is also happy to be left on his own. He is a super smart boy who wants to learn and will need someone who has the time to teach him. This is a very special boy who deserves a very special home.

Walter D2021-89

***PLEASE READ THE FULL WRITE UP BEFORE APPLYING****

CAN BE AN ONLY DOG OR WITH A DOG OF A SIMILAR SIZE

SENSIBLE CHILDREN

NO CATS

Walter is a 4 year old Shih tzu cross chihuahua that has come from a loving home and is a wonderfully gentle boy. He likes to be in the same room as you even if that means braving the hoover. He enjoys to play with a soft toy and engages well with other dogs. He is very friendly and will confidently trot up to dogs 10 times his size. Walter gets very excited when he sees his lead and really enjoys being sociable on a walk, he is a very considerate boy on the lead

Walter hasn’t reacted to foot traffic passing the house and is extremely quiet and trusting. He will happily be left sleeping on the couch for a few hours. On your return, you’ll be greeted with an enthusiastic tail/bum wag and all the kisses you can handle. He loves attention but isn’t the sort to climb all over you and will happily sit on your lap or next to you. At the moment I think he’s finding laps too warm but in the winter months you might well have a permanent lap dog!

Walter likes to sleep in his fluffy bed at night, which is placed on the floor next to the human bed. He will jump up onto the human bed for a goodnight cuddle and a morning cuddle but seems to prefer his own space for sleeping in between. I don’t think Walter would enjoy sleeping alone, especially as an only dog in the home.

Walter knows commands like sit, stay and is great at walking on the lead. He even knows how to play dead when pointed at with a finger gun! Walter loves people and will confidently trot up to people in the street for a quick hello. He loves to be with you in the house and takes his role as constant companion seriously. However, he can be left for short periods without a fuss.

Walter let me play hairdresser for several hours while he enjoyed the fuss of being groomed. I was able to handle his paws and trim his face without any trouble. He has clearly been loved and treated well and therefore only has trust and love to give in return.

Walter has lived with children and could live with children again. They would need to understand his small size and be gentle with him as he is very gentle himself.

Walter is very sociable and likes other dogs. He has very little fear and is confident in deciding who he talks to and who he doesn’t! Walter would really enjoy having the company of another dog in the home but  has come from a single dog home so would equally be okay as an only dog with lots of human company.

Walter has been reacting to cats on the garden wall by running, jumping and barking. He is not currently homed with cats and I’m not aware of whether he has lived with a cat before.

Walter really enjoys a game of tug-of-war or fetch and jumps about and gets really involved but his interest doesn’t last long and he’ll be soon be back on the couch. He’s a very low maintenance little guy.

Walter loves his food but due to his small size, watching his weight will be very important. He was eating wet food in his previous home but has transitioned to dry food and this has improved his toilet habits. Walter has clearly communicated, to his foster sister, that she is not allowed near his food bowl while he is eating. He did this in a very measured way as a warning and is not considered food aggressive. He would happily let you pick up his food bowl while still eating. However, he will take his chances and has tried to get his head in his foster sister’s bowl when he finishes first!

Walter needs to be let out regularly for toilet breaks and will wake you in the night to ask to be taken to the toilet if he needs to go.

Walter would be happy in any home as long as he receives all of the love and affection that he will so readily return to you, tenfold. He needs a home where there will be someone/dog around the majority of the time, he isn’t used to being left alone for long periods of time.

Bunny and Coco

Bunny and Coco are a bonded pair of 11 month old neutered female babies that need to be homed together.

Bunny

Bunny is a quiet, gentle girl. Although nervous at first, once she is settled, Bunny likes to curl up on a lap and have a fuss. She loves her food and treats, often trying to share her sister’s bowl. As Bunny is still young she loves to play and has an excited 5 minutes with her sister most days. Once settled, Bunny will want to venture outside so garden access or a catio would be ideal. With Bunny being white, care will need to be taken in the sun as she will require sunscreen for protection.

Coco

Coco is a feisty little girl but also very sweet. She likes to find a favourite spot for napping, usually on the sofa. Despite her small size, she is a ball of confident energy and loves to play with toys and her sister. Coco is very interested in food and will try to sneak treats if she can reach them. Just like her sister, outdoor space would be good once she is settled.

The girls are able to live with children, possibly other cats but they are untested with dogs.

Both girls are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date flea and wormer

The girls will come with 5 weeks free Agria pet insurance.

The girls are fostered in the South Wales area

Basil D2021-82

****PLEASE READ THE FULL WRITE UP BEFORE APPLYING****

Resident dog a must

Sensible dog savvy children

Basil is a 4 year old Cocker Spaniel that his foster mums describes as being a big boned daft lad. Although very shy and frightened when he first came into foster, he has now really come out of his shell. He will now take treats from a hand without retreating with fear and greets his foster mum in the mornings with a wagging tail and a cuddle. He loves a good bumble about in the garden and from time to time the odd gallop which always makes foster mum smile as he looks like he is in slow motion with his big ears flapping about. He also likes quiet time and will flop down on a rug or his bed which he prefers to the sofa and have a good snooze (he does snore quite loud!)

He is starting to play both with his foster mum and the other dogs in his foster home. He eats very well and shows no signs of food aggression or any other aggression for that matter.

Basil mixes with all types of dogs big and small in foster mums grooming salon and welcomes each and everyone with a waggy tail.

Although very shy and timid when he meets new people for the first time Basil soon builds trust when shown kindness and treats and will happily come to you when called for a biscuit.

He is happy to be bathed, dried, brushed and trimmed and laps up all the attention.

Basil hasn’t met a lot of children other than when they come into the grooming salon but he doesn’t react any differently to adults.

Basil takes confidence from the other dogs and prefers to be lead rather than be a leader. Big or small he doesn’t care as long as he has company.

Basil doesn’t seem bothered with small animals and chickens but hasn’t been cat tested.

From the first night in his foster home Basil settled very contentedly in his soft bed in the kitchen with another spaniel for company. He doesn’t cry as long as he has a pal with him. He is housetrained and very clean in the house, very unusual for foster dogs not to have an accident in the house but Basil has achieved this goal.

He eats very well and could ideally do with losing a kilo or two but his exercise is now helping him to get fitter and shed that bit of weight. Basil isn’t food or toy aggressive and has not shown any aggressive behaviour in any situation that he has been in.

Although Basil can be left for a few hours with another dog he does suffer with separation anxiety and will therefore need someone at home most of the day for him.

Basil hasn’t been destructive in any way in the house but he has started to chew toys when he is bored.

Basil is a typical spaniel and loves to do a lot of sniffing on walks. He doesn’t mind the lead attached to his harness but doesn’t walk in a straight line yet!

He travels extremely well and just settles down for a snooze, he isn’t travel sick at all.

Although only having one visit to the vets he trotted in quite happily with his friend.

I feel that Basil would settle in a home where there was at least one other resident dog where people were around most of the day. I feel he would tolerate older sensible children and would enjoy them playing with him.

A good sized garden is a must to have a good gallop around and preferably a rural location where there are lots of good smells and walks to explore. Basil isn’t too comfortable around busy traffic or main roads.

Basil is fostered in the Uttoxeter area

RESIDENT DOG OF A SIMILAR SIZE OR AS AN ONLY DOG

NOT CAT TESTED

OWNERS HOME MOST OF THE TIME

Nilly is a 5 year old Shih Tzu cross that has so much love to give. Her main desire is for you to be in the same room as her. She doesn’t need you to particularly look at or touch her, she just loves company. She will follow you around the house and if she catches your eye her tail will start wagging. She enjoys attention and loves to sit next to you on the couch and she’s definitely been caught watching TV a few times. She has a gentle nature and is a joy to have around.

Nilly appears to be suffering from hay fever/allergies and is currently taking half a Piriton tablet a day which seems to provide her with some relief. In the summer months going forward, it might not be ideal for her to take long walks through fields and be out and about too much etc. Although this condition may settle as she gets older, it’s likely that she had little, if any, exposure to pollen in her previous situation so it could reoccur each summer.

Nilly will need regular grooming as she has thick fur on her paws and dirt can get matted between the pads so this will need to be kept an eye on and cleaned and trimmed regularly.

Nilly loves people but can be timid at first. She will slowly approach you with a full on tail/bum wag and accept all the attention you want to give. When she’s had enough, she’ll take herself off to her bed.

Nilly hasn’t interacted with children but from her character, I believe she would be suitable to live with children 10 years or above. She likes to have people around and a full household would give her lots of company and provide for her inquisitive nature. Nilly could equally suit an adult only household who give her lots of attention.

Nilly hasn’t had much interaction with other dogs outside of the home yet and it would be a good idea to introduce her to dogs you know first, to help ensure her first experiences are positive, before progressing to parks etc. She loves her reflection and was very confused by mirrors at first. She tried very hard to play with her own reflection, so I think she’s going to be a very sociable girl.

Nilly isn’t in foster with a cat but has reacted to them on the garden wall. She will bark but doesn’t become aggressive. If the resident cat is used to dogs and will stand up to her and they are introduced well, I don’t see her being aggressive towards a cat inside the home. However, this is not tested.

Nilly has mastered the art of the little spoon position and after a cuddle will enjoy sleeping on the end of the bed. At this point, sleeping in the bedroom helps her to feel secure and included. But in her forever home she could easily transition into sleeping elsewhere with other dogs. She finds security in having a crate and will voluntarily sit in it for a nap. At first she preferred to be secured in her crateif left and has been left for a few hours. She has now progressed to feeling secure enough to stay in the lounge and be left for short periods with other dogs. I come home to find her stretching awake on the couch.

If you are in the house, Nilly likes to be in the same room as you. In foster, she has calmly slept in her crate while the hoover and a very loud carpet cleaner have been used but will jump at unexpected noises but on the whole she is a very trusting, affectionate and inquisitive girl.

Nilly has been a toilet training dream. She makes clear circling motions and looks uncomfortable about trying to find somewhere inside to go to the toilet so I think in her case, she prefers going outside, which makes things easier.

Nilly likes to play with soft toys and balls which is a new discovery for her as she is still coming out of her shell where play is concerned. She makes the funniest little snorting sounds when she gets excited.

Nilly is very gentle with food and treats. She is quite food oriented so treats have helped to encourage her to learn new things, like going downstairs. She is so gentle that she might happily allow another dog to eat her dinner! After eating she enjoys walking around the room rubbing her beard on everything to clean her little face.

Nilly is still learning things like polite manners while people are eating but she is learning quickly. She will try to get close to your plate if she can and if you look away, I’d imagine she’d take the opportunity! but she doesn’t jump or continue after being told a few times and will settle down to keep her eyes on you as you eat.

Nilly will need your patience as she is new to walking on a lead and to all the sights and sounds of the world. She is very inquisitive but takes time to study things before feeling comfortable moving on. I believe her confidence will grow with more and more positive outside experiences under her belt. Nilly was absolutely no trouble at the vets and was an absolute star. She needs to be secured in the car as she likes to sit and enjoy watching out of the window.

Nilly is so interested in other dogs that she gets excited at her own reflection. It would be great for Nilly to have a resident dog to show her the way, encourage play and give her confidence. But I don’t think this is essential for her, if her new owner is willing to spend the time to socialise her and there is someone home for the majority of the day, she would be happy.
