QUIET, LOVING HOME WITH OWNERS AROUND MOST OF THE TIME
Simone is a 4 year old Cavalier who is shy initially but soon warms up to people if she is allowed to approach when she feels ready. She needs to be treated gently but once happy she enjoys a fuss and cuddle on her own terms. Simone has her safe spaces within the foster home where she will go to think about what is happening. She will need to find her safe space in her forever home and adopters will need to give her time and space when she shows she needs this.
Currently Simone’s favourite thing is sleeping on her foster mum or on the arm of the chair where foster mum sits. She is very clean in the house and will follow her foster siblings into the garden to toilet. She hasn’t started playing with toys yet but is watching her foster fur siblings closely and you can see she is working it all out. Experience tells us this will come in time when she feels settled and safe.
She is loving being part of a pack in a loving foster home and follows her fur family around. As with most dogs her favourite activities are sleeping or barking with her foster siblings at anything they take a disliking to or feel is a threat. She currently barks at her own reflection but this will pass in time. She’s just never seen how gorgeous she is, and no one has ever told her how special she is till now.
Simone has not been around children full time but has been very gently with visiting dog savvy older children as long as they don’t put too much pressure on her or are too loud and excitable.
Simone has not experienced the joys of going walkies yet but her fur family has told her about it and she’s keen to go and has been practicing with a harness on in the garden. She has never been for a walk so this is all new and she is taking to it like a true survivor. She will need patience to continue her positive experiences
She’s is currently eating grain free Harrington’s wet food & burns dry food which she enjoys.
Simone needs a calm understanding family with a resident dog and owners around most of the time. A retired family or someone who works from home. She just needs that connection to her forever family to feel safe.

Bradley is an 8 year old Cavalier King Charles spaniel. He is a nervous ex stud dog who has spent his life learning to be wary of humans. He loves the other dogs in his foster home and has attached himself to a spaniel and follows him everywhere, even sleeping with his head rested on him so he knows if he moves.
Having arrived with a host of health issues Bradley has now been given a clean bill of health by the vets including a clear ECG. He doesn’t have much vision in one eye due to scarring from an untreated infection
Initially frightened of people Bradley is happy to be in your company and sit on the same sofa as you but will jump if you touch him when he’s not expecting it. Once picked up you can feel him visibly start to relax. Currently he is not a dog that likes to be fussed he would much rather be with his canine friends. He does however like it when you talk to him and will dance around wagging his tail.
Bradley could live with older children who aren’t too boisterous or noisy
Not cat tested but I don’t think there’s be any problems
Bradley is a gentle soul who is easy to foster. He spends lots of the day either asleep or in the company of his doggy friends. He loves his food and has a good appetite. Toilet training is nearly there but he may initially go backwards in his new home. (It only seems to be his bedding he scent marks)
Bradley hasn’t been on a lead yet as he’s not fully vaccinated so new owners will need to slowly introduce this. He’s been to the vets a few times and has been fine being handled and is happy watching the other dogs there.
Bradley would thrive in a quiet home with at least one other kind dog to show him the ropes. Patient owners who won’t rush him and let him take everything at his own pace.

Freddie is a large 17 month old King Charles Cavalier, the vet queried a possible spaniel mix. He is very friendly and boisterous and gets carried away when he sees his foster mum jumping up to greet her but as he is quite heavy, he does make an impact. His excitement is being worked on but this will take time. He is just a super happy boy. Freddie doesn’t realise his size and tries to copy the smaller dogs in his foster home which makes things interesting. He just wants to be loved and fussed and loves nothing more that cuddling in and snoozing. You will know when he’s finally asleep as he’s a snorer.
Freddie loves his food and eats like a good boy but does not like to share. He has no known health issues but as has been said he is 21 kgs and the vet has advised he needs to lose 5 kgs safely as soon as he can.
He is good with people and happy to meet them. He likes to jump up as we’ve said through excitement with his tail constantly wagging. He loves to be fussed by everyone and enjoys human company and to follow you around.
He is great with foster mums dog savvy 11 year old son but we would not recommend small children due to his excitement and size.
He has not been cat or small fury tested
Freddie is a good boy and toilets outside, he only once had an accident and that was on day one when he was still settling, love him. He is dry all night. He is currently sleeping upstairs in fosters mums’ room in a dog bed. He can take a little while to settle down but will then sleep all night. You know when he wants to go to bed as every time you move after a certain time he goes to the bottom of the stairs as if to say “bed time mum “.
Freddie loves being in the garden to feel the sun on his face and watch all the birds and butterflies. He travels well in the car with a seatbelt.
Freddie has not been out and about yet as his vaccinations were not up to date. He’s had his first vaccination now and has been told about trees and squirrels by his foster fur family and seems keen to want to go for a good sniff.
Freddie is going to need a patient but active home with dog confident children of 11 and over. His foster mum thinks he will be best as an only dog so he can have all the attention and training he needs. He has clearly been adored in his previous home by the size of his belly but we don’t think he went very far to turn that belly into muscle.

Toby is a 7 year old gentleman who has been an absolute pleasure whilst being on foster. He uses a scratching post and litter tray and is now too old to climb curtains which makes him the perfect house guest. He is happy being indoors but would aloso be happy to go outdoors after a period of adjustment.
Toby is fab with other cats especially kittens as he likes to teach then and keep them in line. He has not been dog or small furry tested.
Toby eats dry food with the occasional treat of ham or chicken. He can be very fussy with treats that are offered to him.
Toby doesn’t like to be picked up, he prefers to come to you for fusses and is super adorable when he does. He is good with children who will leave him alone and let him come to them when he wants attention. He does not like to be chased to be stroked or cuddled.
Toby would like a home with or without other cats with owners who will let him just be his own true gent. He will come for attention when he is ready but mostly just loves to be close and watches what is going on in the household. He would like a home that is not too loud or busy.

WOULD SUIT A YOUNG RETIRED COUPLE OR FAMILY JUST SOMEONE WHO LIKES TO GO WALKIES BUT IS AROUND A LOT OF THE TIME
Holly came to us when her previous owner sadly passed away, she has clearly been adored and is a delightful long legged 5 year old Yorkshire Terrier who has the sweetest temperament and loves everyone she meets. She is a friendly little girl who adores her human and likes to be close to you wherever you go. She has the sweetest little face and will tip her head sideways when you talk to her as if she understands what you are saying. She is a typical little lap dog and loves to sit next to you on the sofa or on your knee. She is a calm dog who is not overly playful. She will chase and play with a toy or ball for short periods but only when the mood takes her.
Holly has no known health issues.
Holly has liked every human she has come into contact with and is happy to greet you with a friendly wiggle of her body and waggle of her tail. She has bonded with her foster mum and is never far from her side. She likes to sleep on her human’s bed at night and will sleep right through as long as she is cuddled up real close to you!
Holly has not lived with children. She has met her foster mum’s grandchildren and has been fine with them. She would not like boisterous children but will interact and snuggle up with calm dog savvy older children.
Holly is being fostered with four cats. She ignores them most of the time but will cuddle up on the sofa with the resident Siamese cat. They look so cute together lying nose to nose.
Holly is housetrained and has never been crated in the home. Her foster Mum has left her for a few hours alone in the house and she has been ok but she does sit on the back of the sofa and watch through the window waiting for her human to return. She prefers a sofa to a dog bed. She is not destructive. She is however a very picky eater. Her foster Mum is working with her to try and get her to eat a more varied diet so potential adopters will need to continue with this.
Holly enjoys her walks and walks well on a lead. She is happy to meet other dogs but equally happy to explore on her own. She travels well in a car and can be crated for short journeys.
Holly needs a home where she will be the focus of her family. She has always lived as an only dog but could possibly be rehomed with another friendly dog as long they don’t mind sharing. She loves her humans and needs them to be around for most of the day. She would suit a younger retired couple or a family with older children where there is someone home during the day to give her constant cuddles and attention. She really is the most adorable girl who has been an absolute pleasure to foster. She is the most loving little girl and deserves the most loving home we can find for her.

CALM, LOVING PAWRENTS WHO WILL GIVE HER TIME TO BLOSSOM
Grete is a 2-3 year old ex breeding Bichon who had never been in a loving home until she came into foster. Her first days were hard on all of us seeing her terrified but knowing she just had to decompress and work it out for herself. It was so hard to watch it took time and she would run to a corner to hide if she was scared or startled and watch until she felt safe. She would follow her furry foster sister everywhere and this is where we started seeing the improvements. It’s taken time and patience but now she trusts her foster mum and pushes her furry foster sister out of the way for attention. She now knows how to jump on the sofa and climb the stairs and comes to her foster mum for cuddles, reassurance and tummy rubs.
Grete hasn’t been left alone for long and has always been left with the other dog when she has. When foster mum comes home she is full of tail wags and excitement, and foster mum gets lots of licks and kisses. She has become a playful, affectionate little dog that likes you to pretend to chase her so she can have a mad ten minutes. The rest of the time she is very laid back and would fit into any home after a period of adjustment. The difference in her from her first day to now is amazing
She is wary of new people and is a little hesitant to approach them, but with kind words she will come and lick a hand the same with children. She still watches foster mums every move and loves a fuss.
Grete has been following her nawty sister with cats she sees in the garden. Having a half-hearted run at them but really appearing more interested in the smells than the cat
She eats well in the home sometimes a little too well and will take food from her foster sister’s mouth if she had the chance. This isn’t her fault as she has previously had to fight for any food that she came across. And she had never had such goodies as pig puffs and chicken feet. We just recommend you get her a slow feeder and keep an eye on her when eating with other dogs so she doesn’t eat too much. She is house trained and goes outside to wee and poo, as long as the door is open. In her new home she may need encouragement to go until she feels safe.
Grete has not been further than the front and back garden as yet due to not being fully vaccinated but this is how foster mum is doing her lead training. She will walk on the lead with the help of her foster sister for encouragement. Her foster fur sister has told her about the outside with squirrels and trees and she is very much looking forward to going exploring but this will be very much on her own terms with a double lead and harness for safety.
Grete needs a home who will give her time, love and affection. She needs a home with at least one other dog to show her the world is not a scary place and not all humans are bad. She will need a secure garden where she can sit and smell the plants or sunbathe. She would also like someone to teach her how to play fetch with a squeaky ball as her foster sister has told her it’s a great game but she hasn’t yet got the confidence to try. She’s super intelligent and her foster mum can’t wait to hear how she will blossom in her forever home.

QUIET HOME WITH PATIENT LOVING OWNERS
Harvey is a 6 year old friendly Shih Tzu boy who although being nervous of his new surroundings, always has a waggy tail. Initially he is wary of humans but is desperate to trust and dances around just out of reach until he feels confident in your company. He will then let you gently stroke him. He loves his food and is partial to a comfy bed or preferably the windowsill where he can sit and watch the world go by.
Harvey has no current health issues but did need to be shaved on arrival so it will take a bit of time for his coat to grow back
Harvey is very interested in people and loves to follow you around watching what you are doing from a safe distance. He is happy to share his sofa with you and doesn’t mind jumping over you if you are blocking his view of the windowsill
As Harvey is still slightly nervous of people a home with no boisterous or noisy children would be preferred.
Not cat tested
Harvey is a good boy in the home. He sleeps well overnight and is happy to be left for a few hours with another dog for company. He is not destructive at all and is nearly there with toilet training. Initially he would scent mark his beds so new owners will need to accept he may go backwards in the first instance.
Harvey hasn’t been for walks on a lead yet as he isn’t fully vaccinated so his new home will need to work on this slowly. He’s happy to wear a harness and has started to show interest when the other dogs go out so I think this will come quickly.
Harvey is looking for a quietish home with at least one other dog. A nice garden to potter in and owners who are patient and won’t rush him.

Misty is a 5 year old cocker spaniel with a massive soppy side. She likes to walk around holding a toy and wagging her tail as you comment on how nice her toy is. She has had a hard life and this shows from her shy reserved nature. She is starting to come out of her shell in her foster home and enjoys lots of tickles but this is a slow process for Misty. The progress she has made is amazing going from constantly hiding to happily sitting on her bed and walking around the garden. In a new home she is likely to go backwards again before she will continue to go forwards. She will need time to settle and a safe place to watch everything around her as she assessed her new life. Structured tickle times, currently after food twice a day and before bed, help her to know when to expect to be touched. In time she will come to you outside of these times to request attention. At bedtime Misty loves a full body massage, combined with lots of soft positive encouragement and her body physically sinks into her bed.
Misty’s medical history will be discussed with potential owners.
Misty is very shy around new people and her forever people need to be aware that until Misty gets more confident, she will hide in her safe space when visitors come into the room. After some time, she will investigate the newbies if they don’t seem too loud and scary but will then return to her safe space. She will take a lot of time to trust humans and will need someone willing to introduce her slowly to people and persevere to help her build confidence over the coming months/years. She has shown great progress and clear indications that she likes and wants attention but she needs to build her confidence in humans again.
Misty doesn’t seem to find children as intimidating as adults but she would struggle with the unpredictable movements and sounds of younger children. Misty could live with children who will allow her time and space, aged 12 and above.
Misty is not tested with cats. She has been to the vets and although she was very scared, she behaved wonderfully.
Misty sleeps in the lounge on her dog bed and is such a good girl. At breakfast she greets her foster mum with a toy in her mouth and full bum/tail wags. She loves her food but will leave it if she feels worried by another dog, she needs her human to guard her while she eats to feel safe.
Misty will go to the toilet outside but will use puppy pads at night. In a new home, it will take her some time to be confident in going into the garden. However, a resident dog will greatly help with this.
Misty has no lead training and has not been outside the home on walks. She needs someone willing to take as much time as she needs to build her confidence inside and outside of the home. She can spook and might run so lots of lead and recall training will be needed.

Zola is a beautiful 4 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel described by her foster mum as a beautiful gentle soul. She’s a very nervous little girl who is slowly adapting to home life but it is very much at her own pace. In her foster home she has a safe space which she knows is hers where she can happily sit and watch the world go by while she assesses if it is safe for her to re-join. It’s important for her to have a safe space as it helps her gain her confidence.
Zola has no known health issues and has not been cat or small furry tested.
Zola likes to be near her foster family but only if everyone is calm and quiet. She needs to feel safe while she decides if she wants to come and see you. Once she knows you won’t hurt her, she will happily sit by you and fall asleep. She’s very gentle and wary but also curious for a bit of attention. She likes to be involved with the other dogs in the home and watches them for confidence. She’s a pleasure to have around and it’s wonderful seeing her slowly opening up and trusting her foster family.
As gorgeous as she is, when she is sleeping be aware that she has a very loud snore. She’s learning every day and making great progress in the home but it’s very slow. She needs time, reassurance and tenderness.
Zola has not been tested around young children but from her behaviour any loud noises or sudden movement scares her. She’s nervous around foster mums dog savvy daughter so older dog savvy children or an adult only home would probably be best for Zola.
Zola is absolutely no trouble in the home there were a few toileting accidents when she arrived but once she got into a routine and was encouraged to go out to the garden often, she has much improved. Zola loves a nice comfy bed and seems to have one in almost every room of her foster home. Her bed is her safe place and she goes to it when she’s feeling a little unsure. She hasn’t chewed anything but does like to collect socks or items of clothing and carries them to her bed for comfort.
Zola hasn’t been in the big outdoors yet as she hasn’t had both injections but lead work has started in the garden but again this is a slow process and it needs to be at her own pace so she sees it as a positive experience
Zola needs a quiet, calm home where she can have lots of love and encouragement but it needs to be done slowly and at her pace. She has not been left on her own as she was upset when her foster family tried. She will need a calm resident dog who can help her learn that people are good.
Zola needs a home with calm understanding pawrents who can help her become the dog she was meant to be. She needs a resident dog to follow and learn that humans are good and tummy tickles are the best. She needs a safe place in her home where she can sit and watch the world go by till she feels safe.

Kylie is a 5 year old westie that came in to foster very scared and would shake if you moved quickly or walked in her direction. Since being in foster she has come on in leaps and bounds following her foster mum everywhere. She can get upset if left alone and will howl and cry.
She has started to play with dog toys and anything that is left around. She likes to help with the clothes washing and will steal clothes from the washing basket to play and snuggle with. She also has a thing for tea towels, letters, trainers, puppy pads anything she can grab hold of she thinks is hers to play with.
Kylie gets distressed if left and will need another dog for company and someone who will settle her slowly and take things at her pace. She can be a little destructive when left alone and has chewed part of a wooden chair. She is a lovely little girl who will make someone an amazing addition to a family once settled into a routine where she feels safe.
Kylie has started to take treats from her foster mums hand and absolutely loves food. She gets very excited when she knows it’s breakfast and tea time and will jump about with excitement. She currently sleeps downstairs and wakes up usually around 6am or as soon as she hears movement upstairs excited to see you and to see what the day holds.
She likes to lie next to you on settee and generally be close so she can feel secure. She does have a favourite chair in her foster home which she sees as her safe place and will seek out her safe place in her forever home. Kylie had never been crated and got stressed when her foster mum tried this for night-time bed routine.
Kylie does have a slight rash which seems to be disappearing over time with the right food.
She can be shy at first when meeting new people but does come around with a short amount of time when she feels safe with them.
She has not been around children and her foster mum feels she would be fine with older children who know how to act around a little girl who is just getting used to being a dog in a big scary world. She can be very jumpy and will run to get away if startled.
Kylie is not cat or small furry tested
Toilet training is an ongoing process and her new family will have to support her through these times of change. She will go out to the garden on occasions but this will need more training and patience.
Kylie has not been out and about yet as she has only received first vaccination but her foster siblings have told her about squirrels and trees and although she was initially worried did say that she would try and be brave with her new family supporting her
Kylie will need a home where someone is home most of the time with a calm resident dog who can show her the ropes. She could live with sensible dog savvy children who are used to ex breeding dogs.

FRANK NEEDS TO BE AN ONLY DOG
OLDER DOG SAVVY CHILDREN
NO CATS
ACTIVE ADOPTERS WHO WILL INVEST TIME IN HIS ONGOING TRAINING
Calling all active adopters who want a dog with energy to burn! Frank is a very active 2 year old bulldog who loves to strut around the house and be involved in everything you do. He loves to explore and will require some training with his recall and manners in the home.
Frank doesn’t like cuddles but he does love a good lower back scratch and will stay for ages whilst you are doing it. He has the odd stubborn moment but what bulldog doesn’t!
Frank has no known health issues.
Frank likes people and is happy to be touched. He has been fine when around children on walks and with a 14 year old in the foster home. Whilst Frank has shown some good progress with another dog, he would be better to be homed as an only dog.
Frank is house trained but will potentially mark his territory when first in the house. He has been sleeping in the kitchen with his bed and a baby gate.
He can be possessive with food and toys but does love to play with his big knot rope and will enjoy a session of tug of war for good periods of time. He like to play with soft toys but quickly dispatches them. He also enjoys Yak Chews.
Frank was left for long periods of time in his previous home and was upset so we would advise that he is only left alone for a couple of hours maximum when not sleeping.
Frank does pull a little on walks in his enthusiasm to get to where you are going and based on how he is in the home he will need more lead and recall training. He also has a tendency to want to chase cars so does pull on the lead when he sees them.
Frank is a fantastic dog with a big personality who deserves a home that will love him and pay him lots of attention. He is still young and needs someone to invest time and patience into his training and future. He will make someone an amazing pet.

DOG SAVVY CHILDREN
What can we say?! She’s a Lab, she’s a puppy, she’s adorable… Barley is 17 weeks old and the sweetest little girl who is very smart. She’s shown lots of potential already with training, which will need to be continued in her forever home. She is a rambunctious pup who is full of beans and will need plenty of socialising with well-behaved dogs to help her become a rescue ambassador. Fun and games will be needed to keep her brain active and stop her getting bored, she’s a truly delightful puppy.
Barley was born with Pulmonic Stenosis, a heart condition which was corrected by surgery at 13 weeks old. She’s just had her check up at the vets and everything is great. She will now need annual check ups.
Barley loves everyone she meets and has become a much loved girl in the neighbourhood. She has met children on her walks and behaved well whilst under supervision, due to her young age we would recommend she be homed with dog savvy children.
Barley has encountered cats on her walks and is absolutely scared stiff of them… her tail goes between her legs and she hides behind her foster mum!
Barley loves to play with the other dogs in her foster home, she loves toys, particularly a ball and is very playful, she is currently teething and does nip occasionally when over excited but this is being worked on. She’s mostly house trained with only the occasional accident
Barley loves her walks, particularly in the forest on a pack walk, she has good recall even when distracted by the other dogs.
Labradors are notorious for being destructive if left to their own devices, if you’ve seen Marley and Me, consider yourself warned! So with this in mind, our little Barley needs a home where there’s someone around most of the day, someone with the patience and willingness to continue with her training and be active enough to take her on lots adventures. She is going to need annual check ups with the specialist vet in Marlow so potential adopters will need to be happy to travel for these. A family with large breed experience would be desirable. Barley could live with or without another dog but will need to be kept active.
Will be adopted on a neutering and training agreement
Microchipped, Vaccinated and up to date flea and wormer
Adopters will need to travel to Marlow annually for Barleys check ups

Oakley needs a home that understands he has some quirky behaviours that do not bother him or his foster family.
Oakley has wonky back legs but this doesn’t stop him and he just needs gentle walks. He also has poor sight on the left side which doesn’t require any treatment and will not worsen. He also has luxating patella’s on his back legs which again doesn’t need treatment he copes very well but is just a little wobbly
Oakley loves the simple things in life which for him is a person to call his own and a nice lap to cuddle on. He’s a very easy dog to look after and ozzes buckets of love. He absolutely loves his food and gets soo excited at dinner time. He doesn’t have any teeth so just needs soft food.
Oakley has not been tested with young children and due to his quirks we would suggest older children that he can cuddle up to but won’t be too demanding with play.
Oakley has not been cat tested.
Oakley is fully house trained and will let you know when he needs to go out. He hasn’t been destructive at all and hasn’t shown any interest in toys yet, but I’m sure he will at some point. Oakley loves exploring the garden and enjoys a nice little sunbathe close to his humans or even better would be on his human’s lap in the sun.
Oakley is good to go walkies but will only be able to go on short gentle walks. He has been in the car and is okay, he shakes a little at first but quickly settles. Oakley has been very good meeting dogs on walks and with dogs that he has met in the home.
Oakley would like a furever home where he will have lots of love and cuddles, tasty food and treats and a human who will adore him and his quirks. He would like older children to cuddle that will not be too demanding. A home with a similar size dog to cuddle up to when his human is busy doing other things.

CAN BE AN ONLY DOG OR LIVE WITH A RESIDENT PLAYFUL DOG
OLDER DOG SAVVY CHILDREN
NOT CAT OR SMALL FURRY TESTED
WILL BE ADOPTED ON A NEUTERING AND TRAINING AGREEMENT
Hello, my name is Bramble and im a 20 week old Yorkie cross poodle and I am a full of fun and very lovable. My foster mummy says that I am adorable but a bit cheeky too! I need a family who will understand that I still have a lot to learn. I will need time and patience to grow into the most amazing family pet. I am looking for my forever home could that be you ?
My foster mummy says I am a typical busy puppy who is into everything and you only have to worry when I’m quiet and you can’t see me! I can also be a bit shy as I am still learning about the world and lots of things are still very strange and scary. I will need someone who can help me make sense of it all, with patience and time to teach me that there are lots of exciting things to see and do. I am looking for someone who has yummy food and a comfortable soft sofa. It will also help if you like puppy licks and cwtches. If this is you ?… then read on.
The vet said I am a fit and healthy puppy with no problems. I have a healthy heart, good teeth, clean ears and although I am a bit underweight my foster mummy is working on feeding me up! I do like my new kibble. I am having 4 meals a day to help my small tummy cope with this delicious food. I also like sardines and am learning about a lickimat and yummy treats. I am very lucky as I have additional dew claws on my back feet which the vet said isn’t a problem – I just need to remember to tell the groomer to trim them now and again. The vet said I was very good on my health check and I will make someone a very lovable pet.
My foster mummy has given me a bath – twice! To be honest I wasn’t keen and I made sure mummy got very wet too! I will need to learn that grooming is good for me and will probably need a regular trim as my hair can get a bit flyway!
I am starting to trust my foster mummy and will give her a big greeting in the morning, wagging my tail and getting excited. I am also pleased to see my foster nanny who has seen me every day since I came to this home. With people who are less familiar or new to me, I can be a bit nervous but if you leave me come to you and sit calmly, I will say hello when I am ready. I am just learning that people are fun to be with and need lots of experiences of meeting people in a calm and controlled way.
I am not sure about young children as they can be a bit loud and move very quickly. This can make me nervous and I then like to go into my bed or hide behind my foster mummy. With older children (over 8) who can be calmer and who are dog savvy I feel more comfortable and will let them give me a chin rub or puppy cwtch. Again my foster mum says that over time , with more experience she is sure I will come to learn that children can be my best friend.
I have not lived with cats or other small animals so I really don’t know what they are. As a young puppy I will need to be introduced to these carefully and under supervision so that I don’t get over excited and bring out my poor puppy manners!
I have already learnt my bedtime routine and after going out for my last toilet break I will then sleep all night in my puppy pen with my sister. I can sleep for at least 7 hours with no problem. I like my sleep! I have been dry and clean all night but have to go straight out in the morning to avoid an accident! Toilet training is ongoing but I will use a puppy pad if I am desperate and can’t remember where I should go or if the door is closed. My foster mummy gets very excited when I take myself outside to go to the toilet and she gives me a little cheer., telling me I am a good girl. I am not sure what all the fuss is about but is she is happy then I am too!
Around the house I like to explore everything and can get myself into very small spaces! I also like to try and jump onto things. My foster mums say’s for a little dog I can get very high! I have no problem launching myself onto the sofa with very little regard for whoever else is sitting there! I also like to chew things and I have lots of antlers and chew toys which I have started to use instead of foster mummy’s toes and table! I am also a good climber and the first day I managed to get myself out of the puppy pen by climbing. My foster mummy said that I shouldn’t do that as it was dangerous so now, she has a top on the pen and I have to use the door. That’s ok as I now quite like going into my puppy pen as it’s a safe space for me to rest. sleep and eat. The door is open in the day and sometimes I take myself into the pen to have a quiet five minutes.
My favourite thing to do at home is sniff in the garden and roll on the grass. There are just so many smells and I like to help foster mummy with the gardening by chewing the strawberries off the plants. I am very picky though as I only like the red ones!
My foster mum tells everyone that I am a typical 5mth old puppy in the house – exploring everything and trying to get into mischief if left alone for longer than a few minutes!
I have heard lots of strange sounds in my foster home – the washing machine, the TV box and the hoover. I wasn’t afraid of any of them but when foster mummy was singing along to the radio, I was very worried. I rushed up to her as I thought she was in pain and started jumping up at her to see if she was ok. So, I am looking for someone who has good taste in music or who will give me ears plugs if you want to sing!
The garden is one of my favourite places with lots of smells and space to have a run and chase the big dogs or my sister. I have been using the harness and lead in the garden but I am not keen on them. I prefer to go where I want and not to be led by foster mummy. Lead walking will take lots of practice!
I am not a good traveller in the car and journeys longer than a few minutes can make me sick. I have managed a five minute journey to my foster nannies house without being unwell but it is something I will need to get used to if I am going to get out and about with my new family. In the car I use a carry case to travel in to keep me safe.
I have visited my foster nannies house and have enjoyed going somewhere different with new smells. She also has another dog that I can have a play with so I think with more practice I will start to enjoy being out.
My ideal home will be someone who has time and energy to help me learn about the world. They will understand that I will make some mistakes but they will treat me with kindness and give me positive experiences so I build my confidence over time. I will need someone who is home for most of the day, as I have lots still to learn. I can be left in my puppy pen for about an hour with a lickimat or toy to occupy me but I prefer it when someone is around. I can’t really be trusted to have the run of the house as there are plenty of things to chew and that won’t be safe for me. My foster mummy says I am a typical puppy – 90 miles an hour one minute and then fast asleep the next. If you think you can give me a lovely home and teach me what I need to learn them please get in touch.

RESIDENT DOG WHO WILL TOLERATE A BOISTEROUS PUPPY
OLDER DOG SAVVY CHILDREN
COMES WITH A NEUTERING AND TRAINING AGREEMENT
Rex is a 19 week old Vizla cross Labrador. He is a lovable character who loves to sit on your lap and get attention. He loves to retrieve things from the garden like stones and sticks which are quickly swapped for a toy or antler. He will need plenty of activities and games to keep him occupied he is only a puppy who is teething.
Fully vaccinated. Rex has no known health issues and will come with a neutering agreement.
Rex is a very friendly dog who will jump up for attention. He is not shy whatsoever.
Rex has been tested with visiting children and was gentle and enjoyed the attention but with his jumping and the size we would recommend older dog savvy children.
He has not been cat or small furry tested.
Being a baby after a long time of playing he likes a good sleep. In fact, he sleeps so deeply that he falls off the sofa and his foster family has to hold his head up. He loves to snuggle in his bed to sleep but with some of his chewing tendencies he has been going in a crate in the same room as his foster family which keeps him calm and he will happily go to sleep.
He has learnt a few commands and his house training has been great with no accidents in the house. Rex is always around when food is involved and eats his food like it’s his last meal. We have tried to slow this down by using puzzle games to put his food into.
Lead walking is a work in progress and he is a bit unsure but is getting used to the outside world, he likes to greet humans more than dogs when out on walks. Rex is ok in the car and is happy to be buckled in with a dog lead and will sit and sleep through the journey.
Rex needs an active home with lots of attention and playtime. We recommend a dog with him in his home as he loves to initiate play and follows the dogs and humans around the home. He needs plenty of socialisation and training and the right home to give him all his needs.

CALM RESIDENT DOG OF A SIMILAR SIZE
OLDER DOG SAVVY CHILDREN
PATIENT HOME IDEALLY WITH EXPERIENCE OF EX BREEDING SOGS.
Ffion is our 5 year old little Bichon who has settled really well in her foster home. She enjoys a little trot around the garden and sunbathe. She loves being with the other dogs and has learned a lot from them. She loves attention and cuddling on the sofa as long as it comes with a little chin tickle. She’s a quiet girl very undemanding who enjoys watching the world go by. When not running neighbourhood watch from the security of the house she likes to relax with cuddles up to her human or in the garden in the sun.
Ffion has some health issues that will be discussed with potential adopters and she will be on an assisted adoption to cover her pre-existing conditions.
Ffion can be nervous when you initially meet her and takes a little time to bond but once she trusts you and feels safe in her surroundings, she will pour all her love and trust into you. Her foster mum says nothing worth while ever came easy and having Ffion trust you is worth the wait.
Ffion can be nervous around smaller excitable children so we recommend older dog savy children who would give her the space she needs to come to them when she is ready,
Ffion has not been cat or small furry tested but due to her temperament she is likely to be ok if introduced properly
Ffion’s house training is still a work in progress and she is almost there. She doesn’t give any signs that she needs to go to the toilet, so regular trips to the garden are required for her to succeed. Be prepared though as once she’s in the garden she likes to feel the grass under her toes and to spend time enjoying smelling the flowers and watching the birds.
Ffion has been to vets and travels well in the car but must be secured correctly for her safety.
Ffion hasn’t been out and about in the world yet and will need some practice with lead walking and confidence building to help her thrive. Once she does get to explore the big wide world she’s going to love going out.
Ffion needs a quiet home with a resident dog or dogs who can show her the joys of being an adored pet. A furry family who can help build her confidence and teach her how to dog. Ffion needs someone who is around most of the time and can invest in helping her become the dog she has always wanted to be. Owners will need to be patient to gain her trust and confidence and help her settle into a routine so she feels safe.

OLDER DOG SAVVY CHILDREN
PATIENT OWNERS THAT ARE HOME MOST OF THE TIME
Lilac is a 5 year old Shih tzu x Bichon who is described by her foster mum as a sweet natured little girl. She adores her food and is always first in the queue for food and treats. She is tiny but don’t be fooled by her size as she has a huge character and pushes her way in front for goodies.
Lilac currently sleeps in a bed with her two foster siblings and is quiet all night
House training has been easy as she gets taken into the garden every three hours and there have been no accidents. She will go into the garden if her foster mum is with her but won’t go on her own even if foster mums’ dogs are out there.
Lilac bonds quickly to her forever person, however she is very wary of new people and therefore a quieter home where someone can work on this issue.
Lilac is not cat or small furry tested and has not met any children.
Lilac doesn’t walk on a lead yet but will allow foster mum to put the lead on her but she will just sit down.
Lilac loves to cuddle with his foster mum and adores the attention from her.
The ideal home for Lilac would be someone who is home most of the time with a calm resident dog or dogs. She needs a secure garden that she can explore with her forever human in sight. A family who is experienced with nervous ex breeding dogs. Owners who will be patient and let her come around when she is ready and not to force her to do anything.

OLDER DOG SAVVY CHILDREN
NOT CAT TESTED
Clover is an 8 year old mini dachshund that is described by her foster mum as a quiet, gentle little lady. She thrives on human contact, gives lots of cuddles and eye contact. She loves nothing more than sitting on your lap being stroked. She has most of her energy in the morning and likes to go out in to the garden for a little explore and particularly likes to sit in a sunny spot enjoying the warmth.
She is very shy with people she doesn’t know and needs to gain their trust which can take a little time, when she has trust in you she is happy to interact and follow you around. If someone comes in the house, she tucks her tail in with nerves by when she is stroked she soon comes around and enjoys the attention. She is very gentle with people in general.
There are dog savvy teenagers in the home that are aware that she is a quiet, gentle lady and understand how to treat her and she enjoys being cuddled by them both. I am unsure how she would be with younger children.
Clover has not been small furry or cat tested
Clover is so quite in the house you could almost forget she is there; this is until foster mum can hear her little feet coming toward her. She is toilet trained and goes to the rug at the door when she needs. Clover likes to spend most of her day lounging in her bed or sitting in the garden when she is not on someone lap having cuddles. Her bed is her safe cosy space where she likes to snooze day and night. The word that comes to mind to describe Clover is “Sweet”.
Clover is unable to go out for a walk at the moment until she has all her jabs, although I have a sling bag that she goes in for a little carry and you can see that she is enjoying watching the world around her and sniffing all the new smells. She cant wait to smell trees and bark at squirrels.
Clover needs a quite home with someone that enjoys small walks and can spend a lot of time with her. She is an lady that likes a peaceful place to have lots of naps preferably in the sun. Someone that can give her lots of time and cuddles. She would be ok with teenage children that understand that she is a quiet little sausage and will let her come to them for fuss and attention. She would like the company of another dog or dogs to show her the way and help her become a rescue breed ambassador.

MAX COULD LIVE WITH A SIMILAR RESIDENT DOG OR AS AN ONLY DOG
A FAMILY WHO WILL TAKE HIM LEISURELY WALKS
DOG SAVVY CHILDREN
Max is an 8 year old Chi X Corgi who came into rescue through no fault of his own and a change in circumstances for his previous owner who wanted to do the right thing and they did. He has clearly been adored and was a much-loved pet. He is a sweet little man who will pester for a cuddle. He likes to stand on his back legs and waving his front paws at you.
Max has obviously been spoilt rotten in his previous home, and why not that’s what every dog deserves. We think he has been eating a lot of human food and is taking time to adjust to dog food and can be a bit picky but were confident as soon as he gets into a routine and is getting regular exercise he will settle and be back to his princely status in no time.
Max has not been on many walks yet but it is clear that he is just desperate to explore the outside world again. He’s looking forward to little walks in the parks and the woods where he can see the squirrels and call them names. He has been wonderful on lead when going to the vets and burses.
Max needs a secure garden for him to enjoy pottering around, sunbathing and to generally be wherever you are. He likes to toilet in the garden and has been clean in the house.
He as a heart murmur that the vets need to be made aware of so they can monitor when having his check-ups.
Max has been great with other dogs but has not been cat or small furry tested.
He was, an only dog and would be OK as an only dog with a retired couple!
Max has met his foster mums’ children and grandchildren and has been good with them all.
Basically, middle aged max seeks a middle-aged family for nice walks in the park or country. Somewhere he can sniff the grass and trees. He could live with a similar resident dog or be an only dog as he is a super laid-back boy. A family that can appreciates his dance moves when wanting attention and will occasionally let him watch strictly. He would be a great addition to any family and has been a gentleman whilst being in foster.

BEN WILL BE AN ASSISTED ADOPTION WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH POTENTIAL NEW OWNERS
CAN LIVE WITH ANOTHER CAMLER DOR OR EQUALLY BE HAPPY ON HIS OWN
NEEDS A NICE RETIRMENT HOME WITH SHORT DAILY WALKS
Ben is a 14 year old border terrier that had a lot of health issues and was very unwell when he first came in to foster. Luckily his foster mum was there to nurse him through the tough times and the vets were amazing with him. Now that he’s all better he has a new lease of life. When he arrived, he was very thin with very little muscle but is now a good weight and he had good muscles. Ben is as deaf as a post; he’s had his ears cleaned out but he doesn’t react to anything including the other dogs barking.
Ben loves everyone and is even great with children but what he would really like is a retirement home where his forever humans will appreciate an older, calmer gentleman. Ben just plods around and likes to sleeps wherever he wants, his favourite places are a raised dog bed and the hallway where it’s cool. He likes a cuddle with his humans when they are on the sofa and equally likes to plod around the garden investigating and weeing on everything. He is clean in the house.
Ben has not been cat or small furry tested.
Ben has not been out on a walk due to his condition when he arrived and his medical treatments however, he gets very excited when he is put on a lead to go to the vet. He’s a lucky boy as his foster mum has a big garden and he loves a good mooch around and a doze in the sun dreaming of when he used to chase squirrels.
Ben’s perfect home would be with older people who don’t do long walks but a nice plod around the park to admire the ladies would be great. Ben was previously owned by an older man and he does show a preference for the male members of my family.
Ben’s condition will be discussed with potential adopters
Ben is not neutered due to his age

Woody is a 3 year old terrier who would be an amazing addition to the right family. He is very loving and likes to be close to his foster family. One of his favourite things to do is watch Clarkson’s Farm on Tv and will sit there for hours next to you. Woody also likes a good chat over a cup of tea and biscuits, no barking just chatting. He is very friendly and likes all gentle attention
Woody doesn’t tend to eat much throughout the day but eats all his meal at tea time. He sleeps in his crate at night and is happy. Woody has only barked twice since he has been in foster, so he is not your typical needy terrier. Foster mum is a balloon decorator and was a little worried about how he would be if a balloon burst unexpectedly but there have been no problems at all.
Woody has really unusual markings like a flea bitten colour that makes him super special. Lots of people have commented on how handsome he is. Apart from one or two accidents when he first arrived Woody does all his toileting outside in the garden. He has not chewed or picked up anything he shouldn’t whilst being in foster.
Woody is very outgoing but also very gentle, he is the perfect gentleman on four little legs. He loves people and will sit on their lap for lots of fuss and attention. He has only met one child whilst being in foster and was absolutely fine and sat close to them so she could stroke him.
Since being in foster Woody has been the perfect house guest and in the right home will thrive and make a great rescue ambassador. He hasn’t been on many walks yet due to not having had all his vaccinations but from his general behaviour and character he is going to just take it all in his stride.
Woody is such a good boy that he could be an only dog if he had lots of attention and doggy friends outside. He would also be happy in a home with a resident calm dog.
Woody would like a home where he can sit on the sofa and watch TV with you and share your cup of tea and biscuits. Sharing is caring after all. He would like his humans to take him on lots of walks for adventures and tree sniffing either on his own where he can show off his gorgeousness to others or with a calm brother or sister. He doesn’t like being left for too long on his own but will tolerate a few hours. Woody is such an easy going dog that he would fit in lovely with the right family.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
