Dora is a 4 year old French Bulldog described by her foster mum as a princess who loves cuddles and will enthusiastically welcomes you home or even into a room as if you are her long lost friend and she hasn’t seen you in years, even if it was just 5 minutes. Enjoys sleeping in the car, on the sofa, my bed, her bed or my lap (frequently)
Veterinary history to be discussed with potential adopters.
Dora plays well with the resident dogs but as yet isn’t really interested in toys.
Like any Frenchie Dora loves her food BOAS surgery which audibly has made a huge difference as well as improving her life.
Dora walks well on a lead and enjoys a little explore when out and about. She also travels well in a car.
Happy to meet & great humans big & small, hasn’t been assessed with cats.
Dora could live with other dogs or be an only dog of owners works from home or retired as she doesn’t like being without her human cushion/ maid.
Pablo is a 12 month old French bulldog described by his foster mum as a typical young Frenchie who is full of beans and loves human attention. He is full of fun, character and loves to snuggle on the sofa snoring his head off. He is an easy frenchie, which is not something we say often in rescue, but he is an absolutely lovely dog who will make someone the best companion who you will spend hours laughing at with his funny ways.
Veterinary history and ongoing care to be discussed fully with potential adopters.
Pablo is good with other dogs, ignores cats and is very easy to fall instantly in love with. He did come in with some skin issues which will need careful management but this will be fully discussed with potential adopters.
Pablo loves people and is very full on when he meets them so any potential adopters should be prepared to do some training with him on meeting people and continue to teach him good manners. He currently thinks everyone should say hello to him and he is very affectionate about it!. He’s not a big dog but frenchies are very stubborn and over excitable and as a flat face he shouldn’t be allowed to get over excited or play all day. Due to his breed his breathing needs careful management so a home with older children or adults only would best suit Pablo.
Pablo wants to be with you and isn’t a fan of being left for long periods. He is crate trained but will sing initially when you leave and if he hears you coming home. He is a total sofa dog and loves snuggles and sleeping upside down snoring away.
Pablo is house trained but as a young dog if he moves to a new home this may need work for the first couple of days until he settles.
Pablo is a very confident outgoing frenchie who loves walks which will need to be managed in hot weather due to his flat face. Potential adopters need to show an awareness of this which will be fully discussed.
Pablo needs a flat face experienced home, with or without other dogs and ideally with people home during the day. He may need ongoing vet treatment if his skin flares up at any point in his life, so he needs owners committed to his future and the costs this may incur. Owners that are committed to sticking to his food and supplement routine to minimise the chance of these issues reoccurring. He needs a home that isn’t applying for him because of his unusual colour or that he’s a popular breed. He needs an owner that will give him the breed specific care he needs, and someone that will accept that he is more like adopting a toddler than adopting a dog!

Archie is a 3 year old King Charles Cavalier described by his foster mum as an absolute cracker who is super friendly and loves nothing more than snuggling up with his foster mum on the sofa under the blanket. He has so much love to give and just wants to please. He always greets his foster mum with a waggy tail and lots of kisses.
He still gets spooked by sudden noises, but coped well with the fireworks and is growing in confidence by the day and is now very calm. Archie has been an angel with everyone he has met. He does not appear to have any fear towards men and adores his foster Dad.
Not cat tested
Archie settles well when left and does not destroy anything. He enjoys going for a walk and spends most of the time snuffling in the leaves. He looks at the world with wonder and will stop and stare at new things. He has adjusted well to traffic but is happier on quieter walks.
Archie needs a home with a resident fog for guidance. He would fit in well in a home where the new owners have the time to commit to giving him the love and comfort he deserves. He’s not going to be a dog who wants to go mountain climbing or paddle boarding but he is going to want to go for a nice daily walk with his fur pals. Archie doesn’t ask for much, just love walks and food, a perfect little gent.

Zelda is a 7 month old cavalier cross spaniel described by her foster mum as simply beautiful. She just wants to be loved and she has so much love to give. She is beautiful inside and out.
Zelda would love to live with someone who can play with her belly all the time or give her cuddles / strokes. She knows how to use her big eyes to get you to do this and forgive her for her mischief. She is still a puppy after all.
She loves going for walks and thinks it’s very unfair that she has to be on a lead and they are currently on short walks to build stamina. She can initially pull with excitement and forgets herself. She loves to sniff and discover and would love to be able to explore more. Her training on a lead is going well but this will need to be continued in her forever home.
She is a very clever girl and has been easy to train with positive reinforcement. She mastered learning to sit within a few days. She plays with toys and will catch and bring them back when not distracted by other dogs.
Her manners with food are a work in progress and she will now take treats nicely. In the home she will benefit from a slow feeder as she loves her food a little too much.
She absolutely loves people especially if they will scratch her belly and give her some love.
Not cat or small furry tested
Not tested with children under 10 but shows absolutely no aggression.
Zelda hasn’t yet mastered toilet training but is trying hard every day. It’s just hard for her to tear herself away from tummy tickles to go to toilet. She is not keen on going outside when wet unless it’s for a proper walk and then that’s fine. Well what girl wants to get her hair wet it goes all curly after all.
She loves to lie by your feet or sit and watch you hoping for a belly rub at every opportunity. Zelda is a very young 7-month-old and being a pet is all new to her. She’s slowly learning the house rules but anything she can get in her mouth is fair game for chewing if she is left to her own devices.
Zelda needs an active home with someone who is willing to take the time to train her. She loves to learn and be rewarded for being so clever. She would love to be part of a family so she can get as many belly rubs as is possible. She needs to live with a resident dog as an adventure buddy and mentor.

Ivy is a 7 month old Cavashon described by her foster mum as a secret agent cleverly disguised as an angelic little girl. Most of the time this is who she is…. But when she receives her call, she transforms into chief mischief maker. She is a very clever girl who in a short time has learnt to sit and is getting the idea of down when she first sees us.
Ivy likes to be on two legs and we think she would make a fabulous dog for doing tricks. She loves to play, loves to chase toys not so good on bringing them back but this is a work in progress.
Ivy walks nicely on a short lead when out and about but isn’t initially keen on the idea of going. Once she’s out and about she’s fine.
Ivy loves other dogs and wants to have lots of doggy friends. In fact she says the more the merrier
She hasn’t been tested with children under 9 but believe she would be the perfect dog for a family.
Not cat or small furry tested
Toilet training is a work in progress and she been happy to use a large cat flap and has been doing well but sometimes forgets when she’s playing or distracted.
Now although Ivy is practically perfect in every way you must remember she is still very much a baby who up until now has hand no one to show her the good dog path so she comes with a warning. If you don’t put it away its fair game and she likes to shred things. Excellent if your paper shredder isn’t working not so much fun if she finds your stash of cash.
Ivy is very bright and intelligent and needs someone who will keep her entertained and busy. She’s an active little girl when going so needs those little adventures. She also needs a resident dog as shes led a sheltered life and needs that doggy interaction to help her feel safe. She is a real people pleaser and is great with visitors.
Dee Dee is an 8 year old Chocolate Labrador described by her foster mum as your typical ‘food loving’ Lab. She has settled well in her foster home and is respectful of the 2 resident dogs and is being very gentle with the 10 month old pup.
Veterinary history to be discussed with potential adopters
Dee Dee definitely needs a home that will be prepared to give her the exercise a dog of this size needs. This will need to be introduce slowly to build up her fitness but she has already lost 2 kgs since being in foster care but still has more to lose which can be discussed with her new owner.
As said she is a typical Labrador who loves anyone and everything. She is so happy, even more so when there’s food involved!
Dee Dee would like to live with dog savvy children 10 and over.
She hasn’t been tested with cats or small furries
Dee Dee is house trained and will use a crate if you want her too. She will sit for her food and as yet she hasn’t barked! She will follow you around the house but will also go to her bed if needs be.
Dee Dee is very happy out in the garden and will come back into the house when called. She’s been very friendly at the vets with people and dogs even when being treated.
Dee Dee will make the perfect pet whether it be with a big family or a smaller family. She can be with dog savvy children and with another resident dog to lead the way or on her own to soak up all the attention she really does deserve. A home that will take her on lots of adventures and let her be the beautiful dog she really is

Candy is a 7 year old Westie described by her foster mum as a special girl with a lovely nature who is still trying to adjust and relax into being a much loved fur baby. She can become nervous if confined in any small space or trapped in a corner. When she is like this the best thing to do is to distract her with a squeaky toy, either throwing it for her or allowing her to have it in her mouth. She is getting better with reassurance every day.
She has been left on her own for short periods with no problem.
She loves being curled up to her foster mum on the sofa.
She also loves being brushed, although she was cut short when she arrived in foster to help improve her coat.
She is quiet around people but not really fearful just a little nervous taking her time to come over and say hello.
Not cat or small furry tested
Candy sleeps in the kitchen on her own.
Candy has recently found the joys of spending the day on sofa or in her bed in living the room. She is currently nervous about jumping off the sofa and will stand so she can be lifted down. She currently has no interest in the stairs or what is up them but this may change in time.
Candy has enjoyed being out walking on foster mums land on a long training leash as long as she has a squeaky toy in her mouth.
Candy can live with another dog or be an only dog with outside doggy friends for play dates. She certainly needs a person who will be patient and help her transition into being a much loved pet. She will then blossom into a loving active dog as she has lots of energy when playing in the garden with her squeaky ball but happy most other times to be curled up indoors

Chestnut is a gorgeous 6 year old Cocker Spaniel described by her foster mum as an amazing little dog who will be a superb addition to any family. Currently she is a frightened and scared little girl who yearns to be loved but in the right home she is going to blossom into the dog she was always meant to be.
She has just started to take an interest in her humans and the other dogs in the household and has started to sniff hands and follow the resident dog and human around. Currently she will not take any food or treats from a hand but is getting braver every day. She’s not currently keen on dog treats as she doesn’t seem to understand what they are, but were sure that this will change.
Chestnut has been sleeping in a dog bed in a bedroom but has just started following the resident dogs onto the bed where she snuggled with her fur family and slept all night.
Chestnut eats and drinks well and is 90% toilet trained.
Currently she is not interested in any toys but this takes time and it will be a joy for her new parents to watch her begin this as she adjusts to her new way of living
Only been on a lead to go to the vets but not fussed.
She has not been cat or small furry tested.
She has only met one child briefly and was fine but they were dog savvy so we recommend older dag savvy children.

Hazel hasn’t yet found the joy of toys but we don’t think it will belong as she has just found her feet doing zoomies around the house. She was very underweight when she arrived in foster but due to foster mums excellent care and attention she is now at a good weight and is enjoying her food.
Lead training is a work in progress and she has been wearing her harness and lead around the house to get her ready to meet the outside world. She hasn’t yet ventured out and this will come in time once she feels safe and secure with her family.
Hazel would prefer a home without children but said she would tolerate older teenage children who understands that she is a sensitive soul and wont force her to engage.

Ariel is a beautiful 2 year old domestic shorthair described by her foster mum as a cat who deserves lots of love, care and attention. She has bewitching eyes and a full glossy coat. She is known at the vets by a very special acronym; SEA – Serious Escape Artist! The vets were somewhat disconcerted to find Ariel had actually unlocked her cage whilst awaiting her spay and was conducting her own tour of the unit. This was after shredding the notes attached to the outside of her cage, presumably she’d disagreed with something they’d written about her. Ariel is adept at opening internal doors so no need to worry about acting as doorman. She is a true character.
Ariel is very affectionate but will equally sleep and dream content with her own company. She enjoys the company of children and foster mums granddaughters are 5 and 6 and she’s loved their attention, playing and being loving.
Ariel is friendly towards other cats except the grumpy ones and has no problem with the cat experienced Border Collie
Ariel has an inquisitive nature and after 3 litters of kittens it’s her turn to be lavished with the love and attention that she showered on her babies. Because of her previous experiences Ariel will try and help herself to human food but does this in the politest way by putting her paw first. But she’s now learning that cat food is equally tasty and plentiful. She loves to bask in the sunlight, soaking up sun rays whilst reclining on a comfortable bed or window sill. She hasn’t been exploring outdoors as she’s on foster but after a period of adjustment we are sure she would like to be able to go outside.
Ariel would love a warm, sunny and loving home perhaps with another cat or two. She would love someone who would play games of ball or twitching feathers. She really is the most delightful cat.

Fern is a 7 year old Bichon described by her foster mum as a small girl at around 7kg. She is gentle and calm and can easily be frightened by loud noises or sudden changes in the household. She is the sweetest girl who is loving home comforts with snuggly warm blankets and bouncy fluffy dog beds to curl up in and snooze away the hours. She loves the company of her human who feeds her yummy food and gives in to those bichon eyes and will feed her small treats.
Veterinary history to be discussed
Fern is still a little nervous around strangers but is improving all the time. She will cautiously move towards people for a sniff then back off to make a decision.
Fern has met local children in the park and was okay whilst they were quiet but became a little shaky when noise levels went up. We would recommend that she is homed with older dog savvy children of 10 and over or could even live in a child free home.
Fern lives with an elderly rescue cat and has no issues with him. She hasn’t met any other small furry animals. She has not met any dog outside her foster home except at the vets where she just watched but didn’t approach them.
Fern is quite relaxed in her foster home and has claimed one of her foster buddy bichons to cuddle up to and show her that the world is not a scary place and if you look all cute and give those bichon eyes you will get treats, it’s fool proof really and she’s learnt it very quickly.
Fern likes to snooze on the sofa with her buddy once she’s had her treats. At night she likes to cuddle up on her foster mums bed and will sleep soundly all night. She will expect this to continue so if you don’t like dogs on your bed Fern isn’t for you as she loves the company of her human and feels safe when near and will look to you for reassurance.
Toilet trying is going really well and Fern is 95% there but you must expect that she may have a few accidents in your home until she is sure of her way around, following the resident dog will show her where she needs to go and she is a quick learner.
Fern has been on short walks to the local park near her foster home She is eager to go out when she sees her doggy buddies getting ready and doesn’t mind having her harness on. She is however still nervous of the outside world so will need gentle encouragement and patience and have a slow build up to longer walks and new places to visit.
Fern would like a home with people around for most of the day although she has been left for a few hours with her dog buddies. She will need a resident dog around the same size to keep her company and that she can learn from. A child free home or children of 10 and older who will know that she needs gentle calm handling. Young visiting children will need to be reminded that Fern is a gentle fur baby who needs gentle handling. A quieter home would be best as she is a quiet gentle little girl although if frightened, she has quite a deep bark for such a little one. She will need small frequent walks to help her gain confidence in the big wide world and be allowed to snooze on the sofa and cuddle up to you on your bed at night time.

Maize is a 7year old ex breeding female Yorkshire terrier described by her foster mum as a very shy and timid little dog who takes time to trust. When she does trust you she will follow you everywhere just to make sure your still there to look after her. She is the most gentle soul and has been an absolute pleasure to foster.
Veterinary history will be discussed with any potential adopters
Maize takes time to trust and is unsure of men but if approached with a calm kind voice and of course a cocktail sausage she will go to them when she is happy.
Maize would like a quiet home with no children.
Maize currently lives with the resident cat and pays absolutely no interest what so ever, so could be re- homed with a cat that doesn’t mind sharing the home with her
Maize currently sleeps on the bed with her foster mam and sleeps all night with no accidents. She also likes her own space where she can go and relax on her own so she has her own little comfy dog cage filled with a soft dog box and blankets but prefers to jump on top of the cage so she can watch what’s going on. Her most favourite thing to do is pinch your spot on the sofa and snuggle on a soft blanket next to you watching TV. She’s amazed by the TV and loves the soaps.
Due to Maize not being fully vaccinated she has been unable to be lead tested so this will need to be worked on. She has had a harness on and is fine with it.
Maize would like a quiet calm home where her new family would give her the time, patience and love she needs to come out of her shell and start enjoying life. She would like someone home most of the day to bond and cuddle. She is a high flight risk so a secure garden is an absolute must. She needs to be in a home where she will be allowed on the sofa for cuddles and to watch the tv. So, if you need a sofa friend she is the girl for you. She would like a soft warm comfy bed with lots of nice soft blankets to snuggle in. She can be re homed with another older calm dog or on her own. You would need to teach her how to play with toys as she’s never seen them and doesn’t know how to play, but she will given time and patience.

My name is Boyce. Please be patient with me and take time to read about me. Once I know you I will be your bestest friend. I like to spend most of my day sleeping in my open crate on my doughnut bed. I do not chew or damage anything. I’m not bothered about a ball or toys, just give me food and love. I adore being fussed. Ok
I am house trained and have learnt to use a large cat flap. Now the sun has come out I like nothing more than to lie outside basking in it.
I walk really nicely on a short lead. I have enjoyed going to a secure field and having the freedom to explore and run. I like to eat most things, but not carrots or apples. I love peanut butter, best thing in my Kong. I enjoy enrichment time, Licky mats and rummage box or just hiding treats for me to find.
Foster mum says I have to tell you about the other bits to my personality. You see I had a difficult start to life, living on the streets in Turkey and breaking my leg. I still have four legs but one of them is a bit wonky this doesn’t slow me down mind. I am frightened on meeting new people, and show this by barking especially if the new people come into my home. I barked like crazy at my foster mum when I first met her, she brought me home, took me for a walk, gave me some food and I decided oh she’s alright. So it won’t be love at first sight, well at least for me. So please do not worry if I act like I hate you initially, that’s just me. Foster mum has advice about how we should first meet so don’t worry she will hold our paws on my journey in my forever home.
A behaviourist has recommended that I am an only dog in the home as I sometimes struggle with other dogs. I just don’t need that extra stress in my life. Out and about I might bark initially as another dog approaches, but I seem to be ok once they are next to me and often will try and make friends. I tend to ignore their humans outside as long as they ignore me.
My ideal home would be a calm quiet one with routines that I can learn. I need minimal stimuli and would love to live in the countryside where there is not much traffic or people passing by. I find visitors in the home really stressful unless they are going to be regular and I can get to know them. I will always need access to my crate to support me.
I like a nice walk to familiar places but do not need loads of exercise and please avoid too many busy places. The behaviour specialist has some top tips on how to welcome me and make me feel safe, and you will have loads of back up from my amazing team.
Foster mum has tried to measure me to help with judging my size as the pictures don’t do me justice. My neck to tail height is 48cm. Head to tail height 60cm. Neck to tail length48. So are you tempted…… please give me a chance. Get it right and I am actually minimal maintenance, short walk and some treats is about it. I just want to lay my hat down and have my forever home. I could even live with older children who will understand I needs a quiet life.
Can you help a frightened soul navigate her way into this brave new world she has entered?
Esme is a 5yr old miniature schnauzer, who has been used and abused as a breeding dog for all of her short life. She has not known human kindness, and is therefore frightened by most interaction and finds it difficult to trust people. She does however adore other dogs, and loves to be with her foster sisters. She is feisty with other dogs, and can even be bossy – all typical traits of a schnauzer – we need to see this same feistiness when she is around humans! We will need the right person to help her personality shine through as their bond begins to grow – this could take several months.
Esme is not a dog suitable for a busy household with multiple occupants. She need a quiet home, with few visitors and absolutely no children. Children move quickly and are unpredictable; Esme is too scared to cope with that, and she could bite if startled. Esme needs a really calm home, where her humans will respect her initial need for space. She is intrigued by how the other dogs in the house seek out human contact – and sometimes she will come for stroking. Given plenty of time and the freedom to choose when she interacts, we believe she will adapt into a loyal companion. She is a dog desperate to be loved.
At the moment, because Esme is scared, she paces and pants quite a lot. This is a sign of stress so it’s important that her new owners are aware of this, and just allow her to slowly adjust. Loud household noises scare her – normal noises to us, but to her they are scary and she will bark. If you move too quickly she will bark and run at you – simply through fear; remember that humans haven’t been kind to her – but as she learns to trust and gains confidence, this behaviour will change. Carrying on as normal in the home, letting her decompress by watching and learning that nothing bad happens, is the best way to help her. She will come to you when she’s ready, until then give her space.
Esme sleeps downstairs with her foster sisters. She is mostly housetrained and will let her foster mum know if she needs to go out. At the moment she needs to go out twice during the night, this will settle as she adjusts to regular meal times and quality food. Esme will tolerate her harness being put on, but once a lead is attached and used to guide her, she freezes. This is work in progress, it will need practice in the garden and will improve over time. She is happy to go out and about in a buggy in the meantime, watching the world go by, but safe inside.
Esmeralda will need an experienced home to help her continue her journey at her own pace. She needs at least one, confident companion dog, but they need to be the right fight. She had to be feisty to survive in the puppy-farm, so will need love and patience to show her it’s ok and to let her guard down. She loves food and treats and will tell you when its dinner time. She is desperate to be loved and needs a very caring and understanding home. She needs a completely secure garden as she will figure out escape routes when she first comes into a new home. The need for baby gates is also recommended so she cannot run from room to room, a smaller area is better whilst a frightened dog adjusts.
Do you have time, patience and enough love to teach this beautiful dog that human contact can be joyful?
Please say yes to this darling dog who deserves so much better than what she has known so far. She is special – her new family must be too.

Lara is a 6 year old domestic shorthair that has had a very traumatic life. She was badly injured by someone she trusted and the vets thought she would never recover but our girl is a fighter and is now healthy and looking for an all-female home where she can spend her days being treated as a much loved pet.
Vet history will be discussed with potential adopters.
Lara is a very loving girl and has the potential to be the most loyal, loving and attentive companion. She will need time to get to know her new home and may well blossom further if able to enjoy access to a secure outdoor space or catio. She will need time to decompress in new surroundings and given time to trust again.
Lara would prefer a female household without children or other cats or dogs which she would find too stressful.
Lara enjoys her own company and will love nothing more than watching the world go by especially if it involves warm sunshine. A window sill or comfortable bed is ideal. She likes to assist with household chores and has been inquisitively assisting with writing, using a phone, dusting and paperwork.
Lara eats well especially moist food. Dreamies are expected whenever her foster mother returns home and a treat at bedtime is demanded. She is still playful at heart and will spend time playing catch or chase with balls or fluttering feathery things
Lara enjoys a good natter and will engage in a two way conversation given the chance. Her routine includes an afternoon nap on the bed or sofa with her foster mother. This allows her to play hairdressers with foster mum, kneading and playing with her hair. There’s also often the option of an Indian head massage by paw. She will pad her claws with a gentle request.

Patch is a 4 and a half year old domestic shorthair described by his foster mum as a high energy cat having bouts of the zoomies through the day and night. He enjoys playing particularly chasing balls around the room, jumping in and out of boxes, and a “catch the tail” toy. He loves to be up high and watch what is going on.
He is very food motivated, and has been introduced to puzzle feeders as he has strong inclinations to scavenge. He begs but is very polite about it, sitting at his fosterer’s feet with wide sad eyes.
He is a lovely cat who always greets you when you get home, and loves to curl up on or next to his fosterers, purring immediately when stroked. He will tolerate being picked up and carried for short periods. Patch is very interested in daily household activities, often participating by supervising. He doesn’t like there to be a closed door between him and whatever is going on.
Patch has expressed a keen interest in going outside and his previous owner advised that he would often try to be outside. He has always been kept as an indoor cat so would probably be best somewhere with a secure garden or catio rather than being allowed to free roam.

Vanellope is a 4 year old Schnauzer described by her foster mum as a scared little girl who is desperate to love. Being in a home is all new to her and she has taken it all in her stride. She took a few days to have a look around and find the best places to sit and watch and snuggle but has settled well.
Her personal space is very important to her and she will need a space in her forever home from where she can watch to assess things when she is unsure. She’s not bothered by sudden bangs or noise in general and just carries on with whatever she was doing before. She loves to lie under the kitchen table and watch all that is going on. She is rather fond of her donut bed. Her foster parents have never seen any aggression and she is gentle taking treats.
Vanellope sadly lost a front leg due to a freak accident in her foster home but has healed incredibly quickly and the vets have given her the all clear to be adopted.
She has met children and there have been no issues however we would recommend children aged 9 and above.
She is not cat or small furry tested
She has not had any accidents in the home but has had access to the outside through a ‘large cat flap’. She will happily go in and out of this. If none is available, she will need to be let out to toilet.
Lead training is a work in progress and she is doing well so far. She loves being out and about in a secure field and will given sudden squeals of excitement when walking.
Vanellope will need a very understanding and patient home with another dog of a similar size. She so wants to be just like the other dogs in her home and is learning to trust humans by watching and learning from the others. She loves her treats and is learning quickly.

He has loads of energy and sometimes slows down to investigate anything he could possibly play with but is soon off again running and jumping. He’s very affectionate and loves to have a fuss made of him. He needs a family (older children only) who have lots of space for him to run around and time to spend with him. He’s not backward in coming forward as they say and will approach anyone for a fuss.
Marley is a beautiful black boy who although slightly more cautious than Minty still has a lot of energy to play and jump on his brother when he’s least expecting it. He looks up to him and needs him for security as they’ve been through a lot together. Marley is very affectionate too and has a slightly gentler more sensitive side to him that you can see occasionally. It takes him slightly longer than Minty to warm to someone he doesn’t know but doesn’t take him long to get used to people.
These handsome brothers have wonderful purry motors that are always in overdrive and need lots of attention to satisfy. They will make wonderful entertaining pets in the right home who will understand their boisterous teenage ways and help them mature into more settled adults.

Buddy is a 6 year old Chi cross Pomeranian described by his foster mum as a darling boy who loves laps, adult or children he’s not fussy! He’s a good boy who comes when called eats all his grub and generally is no trouble at all.
When foster mum comes home after leaving him with his foster fur family for any amount of time he runs around making a little squealing noise with his lips pulled back. He is just so delighted to see his foster mum again.
Buddy growls when you pick him up or move him, it’s not a nasty growl just seems to be more of a habit as if to say leave me alone I was comfy. His previous owner said he’s always done it. Just a Chihuahua idiosyncrasy !!
Buddy loves all people and even children. He has been with young and older children and has been a good boy. We just recommend dog savvy children who will understand his talking and not be worried or harm Buddy in any way.
Not cat or small furry tested
Buddy is good in the home. Not destructive and all he wants is cuddles food a good sniff around the garden. Foster mum has to be careful she doesn’t forget he’s out in the garden at night as he just loves being out there sniffing for ages.
He has not been walked a lot but when he has, he has been great on the lead. He has also been great in the car enjoying sitting in his harness to look out the window of the car. His previous owner said that he can be barky when on lead when meeting other dogs.
Buddy would like a home with a female dog for companion an active home or one with a large garden as he loves a good sniff around. Apart from that he just wants humans of any age to love him.

Hi my names Calypso and I’m a 4 year old ex breeder.
My foster mum calls me her special princess Cally and I really love that name. Since I’ve been in foster I feel just like a princess so I think that name definitely fits. So from hence forth I would like to be known as Princess Cally.
I’m just so so happy being here in foster. I get a warm feeling inside especially when I’m cuddled up to the humans in the house. When it’s bed time, sometimes I like to sleep right on top of foster mums’ pillow but I always wait till she drops off to sleep before I make my move. I like to be close to my humans always, whether that’s following them around the house, or snuggled on their lap, they make me feel safe.
I adore everyone even children as long as they aren’t too loud. I like to sit in the window and watch when my foster family go out and they can’t take me with them. I give out a little cry and do my best sad face as I sit in the window watching them leave. They always promise me they won’t be long and they never are. When they return, I give them excited wags of my tail and lots of licky kisses on their faces so they know I am really happy again.
Living here is fantastic I get fed everyday twice a day and I adore my food so much. My tummy always feels full now but I will still try to pinch foster mums’ food if she’s not careful I just can’t help myself.
Foster mummy takes me outside on a lead and I get so excited to be out in the fresh air and free. I’m so happy I give out a little cry. I love love love being outside exploring the world and need this to continue when I go to my forever home that she keeps telling me about. I love everyone and anyone’s lap is a bonus but I do tend to bond quickly as I can’t help the warm feeling I get when someone lets me sit on their lap to cuddle and even better if they let me wash their face with lots of licks.
Oh one more thing guess what ? I’ve even learnt to do my business on the green fluffy stuff out the garden now with the other dogs in the house I watched them do it and now I do it because every time I do I get a doggie treat and I loveeeeeeee doggie treats.
Is there really a forever home out there for me?
Could I be your princess Cally?
My foster mummy said there is a perfect home out there, so I’ll just snuggle up here for now and wait x
Can’t wait to meet you.

Princess is a 5 year old King Charles Cavalier described by her foster mum as a very shy and nervous little girl who has the makings of a devoted companion once she feels secure and unthreatened in her surroundings. She has made great strides in allowing humans to stroke her gently and will quietly climb on chairs when no one is looking. She can be a real diva when it comes to food and looses all inhibitions to remind foster Mum it’s feed time or snack time. She is very partial to sharing a packet of crisps with foster Mum and instantly recognises that crinkle of a packet !!
Princess seems to be more comfortable in the company of males rather than females but this is being worked on. Any males in the household just need to be aware of her insecurities and allow her more time to relax and feel safe.
Veterinary history to be discussed with potential adopters
Princess can feel intimidated by other people whilst out and about and so we ask people she doesn’t know to approach slowly and ignore her. With people we know we ask they also approach slowly wait till princess shows a bit of interest in them and then offer her a treat which helps her think of people in a positive way.
In the home Princess is far more confident and is very amenable to friends giving her attention. She also enjoys the company of other dogs visiting or staying over.
Princess can live with older dog savvy children
Not cat or small furry tested
Princess house training is ongoing and she is almost there. Initially she was sleeping upstairs with foster Mum but now sleeps in her bed downstairs with the resident dog and sleeps soundly all through the night. She has been left for short periods with the resident dog and copes well
Princess loves her walks and enjoys exploring the outside world with the resident dog for confidence. She walks well on the lead and follows her big brother closely. She has good recall and runs freely with the resident dog on a long training line.
Princess has become attached to the resident dog so will need a family that will give her time to form a new bond with a new role model and be prepared for a time of separation anxiety. She will need a calm well-adjusted dog as a house mate. She is best placed in a household where she can develop her confidence with understanding owners.

Needs an active home that will spend some time with him re-learning the basics
Rowan is an 18 month old American Cocker cross described by his foster mum as a beautiful dog with a lovely temperament who still behaves like an overgrown puppy. He loves his food, playing and still loves a good cuddle.
One of his favourite things is to follow you around so that he doesn’t miss out on anything. He is not a fan of being left on his own which is being worked on We are confident that once he feels safe, secure and loved he will find it easier.
He understands basic commands but needs more training to help him achieve his full potential.
He likes people especially women and is friendly with but cab be a bit unsure about men till he gets to know them
Rowan would like to live with teenagers wo can play with him and take him walkies
Not cat or small furry tested
Rowan is toilet trained and crate trained, he cries for a while in his crate at night and when left then but soon settles down. He likes to make himself comfy on the sofa cuddled by you for quiet times.
He needs more guidance on how to behave in a home but once he has a routine and plenty of exercise he will calm down. He doesn’t bark much but does whine when you leave him and go out of his sight.
He walks well on a lead but can pull at times in excitement. He just needs someone who will give him the exercise and time he needs to become a well rounded puppy. Rowan could be homed as an only dog with lots of attention or with another playful dog

Autumn is a 10 week old domestic short hair described by her foster mum as a sweet ickle tabby cat who can be a little nervous but has really come out of her shell since her foster sister Luci arrived. Autumn would really like to be adopted with Luci as they have become firm friend and she is the Ying to Luci’s Yang.
She is just the perfect companion for those darker nights and is especially good at keeping your neck warm as she likes to sit on your shoulders whilst Luci is curled up in your lap.
Autumn is snuggly, playful and fun and is purrfect company to watch for Netflix and chill.
She is a little nervous of foster mums dogs but will tolerate them and watched Luci torment them on a daily basis.
She could be rehomed with other cats and as a pair they will cling to each other rather than annoy the resident cats too much

Puss cat is an older boy that has been returned to us following the sad passing of her mum. Due to our lifetime promise to always be there for our animals and adopters he now needs to find his forever home.
Puss cat is looking for a home where he can be an only cat and live out his days in comfort sleeping. He likes to stare at you and give a silent meow when he’s hungry. He also enjoys a nice head scratch and fuss. He is never far away and really enjoys human company but does not like being picked up and when he is worried or feels unsafe he will give a little scratch for this reason we would not recommend he be rehomed with young children. Teenage children who understand his boundaries would probably be fine. He loves to sit on comfy chairs, or just laze around on the floor as long as he is close.

Needs another confident playful young cat or could be rehomed with her foster sister Autumn
Super dog friendly
Loves cuddled is super active
Luci is around 10 weeks old and came to us as a hand in from a vet. She was super poorly when she arrived but under foster mums great care she has thrived and is now looking fro her forever home. Foster mum describes her as a darling who becomes very attached to her humans (sometimes literally). She’s is super fun and is an adorable character.
Luci loves people, she confident, snuggly and full of energy. As she was taken from her mum at an early age she has not learnt all her manners and still has some bitey/claw issues which is being worked on and as she gets older she is getting better.
Luci could live with robust older children who won’t mind being used as a climbing pole (possibly someone who wants to train as a Lion tamer) they need to be comfortable with the odd scratch/bite and redirect/disengage as appropriate.
She’s super confident with dogs and cats but even veteran kitten wranglers find her a bit much at times! She likes to snuggle with dogs though
Despite her super confident nature, she is a delight and uses her litter tray consistently. She is fa full on charming little girl.
Luci gives the best cwtches, if you always wanted a kitten scarf, she’s ideal, she likes to perch on your shoulder and plan her vertical assaults on unsuspecting bottle caps, balls and toy mice. Given her vampire tendencies, she needs a patient home that will gently redirect/ disengage her “kisses wiv teef”. She would like to be homed with her pal Autumn for these reasons too. Her boundless energy could be put to good use in cat agility or tricks or just a fair amount of play.

Betsi is a 5 month old beautiful, playful and confident kitten now looking for her forever home. She could be an only cat with lots of interaction or live with another cat as she loves to play and cuddle up. Her favourite thing is to chase all her toys around the house and its lovely to see her happy.
Betsi loves to cwtch up to the other cats in foster and loves one on one time with foster mum purring and cuddling.
She is young enough to be able to adjust to living with a dog if introductions are done properly.
Foster mum is also confident that she could live with cat savvy children who will play and read to her and give her the attention she needs.
She is fully litter trained and is great with a scratching post.

Wendy is a 4 year old Cocker Spaniel who was initially nervous when she arrived in foster but thanks to foster mums hands off approach and the support of her foster brother she has spent her time watching and learning and has settled really well. Wendy’s default defence since she has been in foster is to hide away is unsure or scared.
Wendy enjoys her food at meal times but especially loves treat-time and now sits patiently in front of foster mum and takes food very gently. She has a soft mouth, and if she is excited by the smell of something new and will sniff foster brothers mouth first to ensure its palatable and then does helicopters with her tail which is her way of saying ‘yes please’! She is very curious with her mouth and uses this to test things around her. She is definitely not showing any destructive behaviours – there is no anxiety associated with her nibbling, she has never trashed anything and she is merely inquisitive and quickly bored with her new finds. But to be on the safe side I wouldn’t leave a £10 note around, or a favourite book or sweater.
Wendy’s nose is her super-power and her reach can stretch to the edge of a counter top. She currently has a terrible habit of bin diving so new owners will need to make sure that bins will need to be out of the way or covered in her forever home.
Wendy has very poor associations with being on-lead, and although she is fairly passive when her harness is put on, she can’t cope with any tension on the lead at all, and automatically moves against it. She has been to a secure field and she loved snuffling around but made no attempt to join in with foster brothers frolicking. She did however clearly love the freedom to do her own thing, to potter and sniff and explore her surroundings.
Wendy has only met people in our household and is now pretty relaxed around foster mums family but they do take great pains not to surprise her, to make sure she always has room to pass safely, and all interactions are initiated by her. She has gained a good level of trust remarkably quickly.
Wendy has not met any children.
Not cat or small furry tested.
Wendy has been totally clean in the house with no toileting accidents. She doesn’t ask to go out but she doesn’t need to as she has free and open access to the garden at all times. She has been left for short periods on her own with free range of the lounge and kitchen and appears to be perfectly happy in her own company.
She has a number of dog beds in the lounge but her preferred spot is in the kitchen in a covered crate. She is encouraged to make more use of the lounge and dining room by closing her crate door in the afternoons and spreading her blankie just outside the crate and generally during the day she will settle herself on her blankie or in the lounge on one of the beds. She comes into the lounge most evenings and settle on one of the dog beds nearest the kitchen door, and after last toilet break of the evening she will take herself to bed in her crate and we don’t hear a peep from her until the household wakens up next morning.
Wendy’s people would ideally be experienced and laid-back pet owners for whom having a new family member isn’t a novelty. If they expect her to trust them immediately, they will be disappointed, and if they expect affection from her by day 3 they are unlikely to get it. Wendy likes to take things at her own pace, she likes to work things out for herself, so patience is paramount and her new people should be thinking of the future to see her at her best. She will need a confident resident dog to help her adjust and learn.
Wendy would be perfectly content to live a quiet life, with gentle human company and a genteel and leisurely lifestyle. But equally I believe with lots of time and patience she could continue to progress to a point where she could totally put her past behind her and make up for her lost puppyhood, take up new hobbies and live a very full and active life in years to come.

Slushie is an 18 month old French Bulldog described by her foster mum as a little goofball with love to give in spades! She loves playing with her toys as well as stealing your blanket, tea towel, laundry etc to play with! She’s been through a lot in her little life and as a consequence she does get worried about certain noises and people but she gets a little better with this everyday and with the right support in the right home she’ll definitely make big progress. If you’re looking for a little dog to be your shadow, look no further.
Veterinary history to be discussed
Slushie prefers women to men as a general rule and she’s likely to be scared for a few seconds upon a first meeting but once she’s had a chance to smell you, she’ll likely want to climb into your lap. She gets very afraid of men entering a room she’s in, especially if it’s a man she doesn’t know. This can lead to her showing some fear aggression. She has never actually bitten anyone but if the person she’s afraid of doesn’t respect her space I can see how that might happen out of pure fear. Once she trusts someone, she forms an incredibly strong bond with them and want to cuddle and be by their side all the time.
She hasn’t met children inside her foster home. She has encountered children and infants out on walks and seems incredibly curious about them. However, given her concerns around strangers we recommend she isn’t homed with children. Sensible older teens with dog experience may be okay.
No Cats or small furries.
Slushie is generally well behaved at home. She sleeps well in her crate at night (she’d prefer the bed but she can’t be trusted with foster mums cats). She’s about 90% with her house training and just needs patients new pawrents who will help get her that last little bit. She is very cheeky and doesn’t have a lot of manners around food. We’ve been working with her on this but she can still be a bit naughty if you have something tasty that she fancies. Mostly, she just wants to be involved in whatever you’re doing.
Slushie walks wonderfully on the lead. She likes to stay close by but is gaining confidence to have a sniff around by herself. On the few occasions it’s been safe to have her off the lead she walked to heel 95% of the time with very little prompting. When she did wander farther, her recall was excellent. However, her reactivity to dogs and people means that she will need to be lead walked most of the time and we recommend she is only let off in a secure field.
Slushie needs a home with people who above all have patience. She’s come a very long way but she’s still a work in progress and needs a home she can learn to feel safe in. She needs access to a secure outdoor space she can play in as she generally can’t be off lead in public. She struggles with steps so very tall houses would be very difficult for her to navigate (a bungalow would be perfect but otherwise just one storey). She needs her humans to be around for most of the day. She can be left for a few hours but mostly just wants to be with her people. Adopters with breed experience would definitely be a plus.
Slushie isn’t able to keep up with long walks so wouldn’t be ideal as a dog to take hiking for instance. She’s been so brave throughout her journey in foster and is now desperately searching for a warm lap and the happily ever after she so deserves.

Braith or Bea as foster mum likes to call her is a 2 year old English Setter described by her foster mum as a lovely affectionate gentle dog, who adores lots of belly rubs and attention.
She is crate trained and sleeps in it at night and when left during the day. She is happy to be left with or without other dogs and is no problem.
She is fully house trained.
She loves people, is happy to greet any visitors no matter how big or small. She paws you for attention then rolls around for her tummy to be rubbed. She is not shy or reserved.
She is excellent with children of all ages.
Not cat tested but has shown no interest in them whilst out on a walk, she has ignored our Guinea pigs and the chickens.
She is not destructive and is generally calm around the house she likes to follow you around for as much fuss as possible. She is happy with household noises and is not bothered by any noises like a hoover, door knocking etc.
Bea loves her walks, gets excited when the lead comes out but will sit patiently to have it put on. She now walks beautifully on a lead and doesn’t pull and is very keen to meet other dogs to play. She is a very intelligent dog, very quick to learn and very keen to please. She is learning her basic commands, sit, wait and come. She’s not been let off her lead but on a training lead, she does come back to a whistle or the word come.
Bea needs someone who will give her lots of cuddles and attention, she can be with another playful dog but could also be an only dog. She will make someone a lovely family pet. She has settled in well in her foster home and has been a pleasure to have.
