Leo ADOPTED

Leo D2023-151

Could be an only dog with doggy friends
Could also live with another dog
Not cat or small furry tested
Dog savvy children
Loving family who like pug cuddles

Leo is an 8 year old pug described by his foster mum as a right little dude. He is super friendly and loving and enjoys nothing more than sitting on the sofa cuddled up to you watching TV. He enjoys attention from everyone especially visitors that he get extra tummy rubs from.

Leo is not cat or small furry tested

Leo has been around children and has been the perfect little gentleman. He has been happily interacting with children under 5 under supervision. Due to his size he could be rehomed with children 5 and over.

Leo plays with toys and is keen to play with the resident dog but as she’s an older she is not keen to interact with him.

Leo is not keen to go walkies but does like a little pootle around the block so he can be admired by the ladies and get extra pugglish attention. He does not want to go paddle boarding or spelunking but will watch these on TV with you with a cup of tea and a biscuit or two.

Leo currently sleeps on foster mums bed and sleeps all night under the duvet in foster mum’s bed. He does like a little snore so be warned.

House training is a work in progress. He knows he needs to go outside but sometimes forgets which door leads to outside. A regular routine and lots of trips to the garden will get him back on track.

Leo loves a roast dinner on a Sunday and given chance will eat the other dogs food. He came into rescue underweight which is being built up gradually.

Leo needs a home with or without a resident dog but with loving owners who are around most of the day to have a chat, a pootle and tea and biscuits. He’s not going to be able to do long walks, or long play sessions, but still wants doggy friends and lots of attention.

Toffee *ADOPTED

398576958_10233465363436425_419321173812796510_n

Toffee Apple D2023-155

Needs a resident dog
Not cat or small furry tested
Children 14 and over
Quiet home with loving pawrents

Toffee is a 7 year old Mini Schnauzer described by her foster mum as a having a very quiet and gentle personality. She bonds deeply with her person and loves the comfort and reassurance that it brings. She likes to follow foster mum around the house to see what is going on in case she misses out. When she is done with her bodyguard duties, she will take herself off and find a comfy space to recharge her batteries.

Toffee loves to sit with her front paws crossed and will lift her head for a kiss. If she is sitting away from you she very gently moves close to ask for attention. Visitors will initially be greeted with some barking but after a quick check with foster mum that they are allowed in and are nice she stops. She has come a long way since being in rescue, she can be scared and shy at times but with reassurance gets over this quickly.

She has learned to play with toys and likes to play with another dog in the foster home. She is gentle and not at all dominant. Sometimes she will pick up something that isn’t a toy such as socks and looks really proud of herself which is funny.

Toffee is not cat or small furry tested.

She could live with gentle children14 and over. A busy noisy household would not suit her.

She has just started going for small walks and takes courage from the resident dog. This is something her new family will need to work and build on. Watching her grow in confidence in this area brings a lot of joy.

She currently sleeps downstairs with 2 other fur friends but has slept on the bed with foster mum and thoroughly enjoyed herself.

She is well on her way to being fully house trained and this will need to continue in her forever home.

Toffee likes to eat alone , it is easy for other dogs to push her off her food, so for this reason she is feed her food separate. She is also learning what treats are and is thoroughly enjoying this new range of goodies that she has never had before.

Toffee needs a quiet home with a resident dog to show her the ropes. Owners who are around most of the time to offer reassurance and praise as her confidence grows. Watching her grow in confidence as she journeys into her forever home will be very rewarding.

Chucky/Charlie D2023-160

• Needs a resident dog
• Not tested on cats
• Dog savvy children 10 and over.
• Has not been walked on lead but has enjoyed a secure field
• Nervous about eating with other dogs.

In a world where second chances are rare, there is a beautiful soul yearning for love and a forever home. Meet Chucky (Charlie) a 5 year old Cavashon, a dog who has emerged from a traumatic past, devoid of socialization, and who has never experienced the warmth of a real home. This frightened boy is gradually shedding his fears and taking tentative steps towards trust and happiness. With the guidance of a calm resident dog, this special boy is ready to embark on a journey of love and healing. Will you be the one to offer this sweet soul the affection it so desperately craves?

This special dog’s story is one of resilience and bravery. Having endured a difficult past, trust is a foreign concept. Introduced into a foster family, fear has overshadowed his desire for love but with each passing day, Chucky grows braver, inching closer to a brighter future. The transformation this dog has undergone is truly remarkable. Once afraid to even take treats, this canine is now displaying a newfound interest in toys, a small but significant step towards embracing a playful and joyous life.

Whilst house training remains a work in progress, consistent efforts have yielded encouraging results. Patience, understanding, and continued training are crucial to ensuring he successfully adapts to his new home. With the right environment and unwavering love he will continue to learn and grow.

What truly stands out about this incredible boy is his yearning for love. Deep within his heart, there exists a desire to be cherished and cared for. However, remnants of past trauma still hold him back from fully embracing the affection he so desperately wants. With time, patience, and a nurturing environment, Chucky will eventually overcome his fears, allowing his loving spirit to shine through.

If you have a calm resident dog and the willingness to provide unwavering love and support, you might just be the perfect match for this gorgeous boy. By offering a forever home, you will play a pivotal role in transforming his life, from one filled with fear and uncertainty to one brimming with love, joy, and trust. Your compassion will provide the foundation for an incredible journey of healing and companionship.

If you are ready to open your heart and give this sweet soul the love he deserves, prepare to witness a truly remarkable transformation. Together, we can provide this dog with the forever home he so desperately craves, helping him overcome his fears and blossom into a cherished and beloved member of your family.

Spirit & Storm ADOPTED

399469872_7020112938043555_626531663350765578_n

Spirit & Storm D2023-159

TO BE REHOMED TOGETHER
Sensible children
Patient and loving family
£500 adoption fee for both

SPIRIT AND STORM REALLY ARE DINKY LITTLE GIRLS.

THE PHOTOS DO NOT DO THEM JUSTICE.

Spirit & Storm are dinky 3 year old Cavalier crosses described by their foster mum as cuddly little fur babies once settled. Spirit is a little more nervous than Storm but does enjoy a fuss. Storm on the other hand will take all the love and cuddles you can give until Spirit is ready. These girls stick together most of the time and are just so cute.

They have settled really well and love a routine. They are fine with all the other dogs in their foster home and are happy to engage with them. They have been out and about and are enjoying the sniffs the world has to offer. Spirit is a bit worried of heavy traffic but with reassurance she follows her fur sister (metaphorically).

Storm barked when she saw the resident cat but Spirit is not bothered by the cat.

Both Spirit and Storm adore children. Despite being nervous around some new adults they run towards children for fusses and attention. They seem to forget that 2 seconds a go they were pretending to be nervous.

They both love toys and play with them with each other. They are not bothered if another dog takes a toy from them and will just go and choose another.

They love to curl up together in front of the fire in the evening. At 8pm all the dogs get a treat and then go out to the garden for toilet. Spirit and Storm then have a few more zzz’s in front of the fire before they toddle off together to the kitchen to cuddle up in warm beds for a sleep.

Toilet training is a work in progress. During the day, they are fine and go out to the garden when encouraged. Currently the accidents are happening overnight but these are on puppy pads.

Spirit and Storm would love a patient family home with children who are not too hectic or noisy but calm. Parents who will be patient to wait for them to gain confidence to ask for cuddles and to help and guide them. They would prefer to have someone around most of the day but as long as they have each other we are sure they will work out their own routine if left for short periods. They have never been puppies so everything is new to them so a kind loving home who lets them have their puppy stage and lots of love.

Elvira ADOPTED

396533549_10219392080273156_511663884322283276_n

Elvira D2023-152

Needs another dog
Good with dog savvy cats
Children 8 and over
Patient, quiet home with owners around most of the time

Elvira is 7 year old bichon described by her foster mum as a very inquisitive little girl who likes to know what her human person is doing and where they are 24/7. She is very friendly and craves attention loving nothing better than having a cuddle on the sofa next to her human. She is still nervous of people outside the home due to not having had much opportunity to go out except to the vets, but is improving,

She loves other dogs and likes nothing more than climbing on top of her foster sisters ,who are bichons, and going to sleep.
It doesn’t matter if her foster sister is on foster mums lap, she will still climb on top to go to sleep. She needs to find her place with other dogs as she will climb over them to get a cuddle although she is not nasty she needs to know that she can’t do this if the other dog is not happy about it

Elvie as we call her is a playful girl who loves to interact with her humans and having her belly rubbed. Her nick name is tippy toes as she does little dances of excitement when her human comes home and when she is going to be fed. She loves to watch programmes about dogs and looks at the screen intently and will sometimes bark back at the dog on screen .
Elvie lives with a cat without problems but hasn’t met any other small furries.

She hasn’t met any children yet but due to her nature we recommend children 8 and over as she is a little girl she needs gentle handling.

Elvie has never known what toys are and they are still a mystery to her. She has initiated play with her foster sisters and would love another small dog to play with.

Elvira has walked in the garden with a harness on, and although she acts shy and a bit nervous, she will let you put the harness on without any trouble or fuss and walk quite happily with another dog by her side. She sleeps next to her human on the bed with the other dogs. She will expect to be allowed to do this in her new home, as she loves to be near them at all times.
She has sat in a dog bed but doesn’t really use them unless there’s another in there so she can cuddle up or lay on top of.

She is very good at going into the garden to toilet when prompted or when she follows her furry foster sisters out. Like most Bichons she doesn’t like the rain so will go on a puppy pad when the weather is bad although she is learning rain won’t harm her.

Elvira gets fed on her own, she is not food aggressive but will go to see what’s left in anyone else’s dish given the chance .
She is just learning that treats are good, although due to having 6 teeth out she has only just been allowed a very soft treat and is starting to take it from our hand.

Elvie would like a home with another small friendly dog that likes to cuddle and will share their human with her. She’d like her human to be around most of the day. Although only being 7 Elvira can seem a bit older when she walks or bounces along as she had no need to use her muscles in the past, but she is a fast little girl who has learnt to jump onto the sofa and uses steps to get on the bed. She’d need to have a few smaller walks so doesn’t really need a very active home. A home on the quieter side would be better for this little one. Elvira is the sweetest, gentlest little dog who will bring joy to her new family and fill their house with love.

Sydney ADOPTED

400160664_10161230379537959_8920725918906945088_n

Sydney D2023-156

Needs a playful, friendly resident dog
Gentle children 5 and over
Not cat tested
Patient owners who need a cuddle monster

Sydney is a super friendly 5 year old Bichon. She is described by her foster mum as a very loving, cuddly girl who enjoys the company of humans both big and small and other dogs. She’s very inquisitive so you would need to “puppy proof” your home until she settles. She loves to take socks from the washing and run off with them. Being a bichon Sydney’s dancing could get her onto Strictly and she loves to show off her beautiful teeth in a most hilarious smile.

She is good with people both big and small and has been around visiting children 5+ and lives with a 14 year old. She enjoys the company and spends a lot of her time as close as possible to people.

Sydney lacks basic manners and can be a bit of a Diva, walking over anything and anyone to get where she wants to be. She hasn’t had anyone to teach her good manners so will need some work in this area. She is very compliant and will allow you to handle her to groom, etc. She is very easy to train and is eager to get it right. She doesn’t ask for much, just a nice full belly, lots of love and another doggy to cuddle up with on your lap.

She is just starting to show a very playful nature and will need a younger companion who will be happy to play with her. She shows absolutely no aggression with toys, food or handling. She hasn’t shown any interest in toys but is developing a very playful nature with other dogs. She is very happy on a lead in the garden but has been unable to start lead walking due to her vaccination status

She will eat her meals alongside the resident dogs and has learned not to disturb the others while eating. She’s an opportunist and constantly on the lookout for tasty snacks but is very gently when being hand fed.

She travels well in the car in a carrier. Not cat or small furry tested

Sydney sleeps very well on the bed with her humans and dogs. Not interested in any of the dog beds, prefers a lap or sofa or wherever the other dogs are.

Toilet training is a work in progress and this will need to continue in the home. The delay has simply been caused by firework season. She was doing really well going out the garden to toilet then the fireworks started and has caused a backwards step, however once this settles we have full confidence that she will be fully toilet trained quickly.

Sydney’s ideal home would be with at least one other gentle, patient resident dog. She would love at least one human to give her lots of cuddles but this has to be alongside the other dog. She would enjoy the company of children 5 years and upwards who respect that she is very small and needs gentle handling. She is not a rough and tumble girl just more of a cuddle monster. She just wants to be cosy, comfortable and very loved. She loves to be pampered and enjoys being groomed and would need regular grooming to look after her curly coat. She really is the most delightful little lady who will bring great happiness and lots of love and laughs into your home.

Hocus ADOPTED

Hocus D2023-138

Needs a resident dog to learn from
Not cat or small furry tested
Older sensible dog savvy children
Patient owners around most of the time

Hocus is a lovely little Bichon estimated by the vets to be around 7 years old. She is described as a really friendly loving little girl who wants to be with you all the time. She is a proper little shadow and doesn’t like you being out of her sight. Due to her traumatic past Hocus will bark is left on her own as she fears being abandoned again. This is being worked on but will take time as she needs to decompress and make happy memories to block out the bad.

She likes people and children but is currently not very energetic.

She has not yet found the joy in being outdoors and exploring as this is all very new to her. She is happy to have a harness and lead on but is not keen on the actual walking bit. This may take time and will need another dog for her to follow and learn from.

She is either a bit deaf or has not known enough love or attention so just ignores you. She is an insecure little girl and just needs that special family and time.

Hocus gets on with other dogs but doesn’t really interact with the dogs in foster. This could be because she is adjusting or is not keen on these other dogs. In the right home with the right family she will flourish but it will take time and patience.

Hocus eats well and enjoys her food.

Toilet training is very slow and will need to be worked on in her forever home. She needs a routine and lots of positive reinforcement when she has done good. Following another fur baby will also help. Currently she will go on a puppy pad and it can be frustrating but she needs her family’s help to learn.

Not cat or small furry tested

She currently sleeps on the bed with foster mum as she needs to know you are close. She is dry at night so is able to do it she just needs to learn how.

Hocus needs another dog to learn from. A quiet and patient home who will help her adjust to being a pet and not a money maker. She can be rehomed with sensible older children who will love her unconditionally and help her adjust. This little one just needs time, lots of love and she will flourish into the dog she was always meant to be. There will be ups and downs but it will be worth it.

Precious ADOPTED

398134735_3461904510690004_5112472538057049894_n

Precious D2023-148

Can be an only dog
Can live with other placid dogs
Secure house and garden
Responsible family willing to work with her needs

Precious is exactly the right name for this big mixed breed princess. She is 3 years old and currently weighs 24KG. She is deaf and partially sighted only seeing light and dark, she is aware of movement and seems to recognise the human shape. Despite this she excellent in all ways.

Precious is very good with people in the home and out on walks. Obviously with her limited sight we make sure people approach in a sensible manner. She is very friendly and everyone who meets her falls in love. If she particularly likes someone she likes to lean into them for a fuss.

She is very independent and happily takes herself round the house. She doesn’t really play yet, although she is showing more signs of wanting to as she becomes more settled and confident. She would pinch food if left within her reach and having been a stray she is efficient in opening plastic bin bags and getting into bags / boxes if she can smell food. She’s not naughty, but rather an opportunist!

She goes to the door when she needs to go out. She comes for her food. She works her way round all of the dog beds seeing which is best but has decided the sofa is the most comfortable. She copes well with obstacles in the house.

She is currently unsure in the car and this is being worked on. She is not cat or small furry tested. She doesn’t chase the squirrels, but it’s unclear if she can see them. Because she is totally deaf and partially sighted, we wouldn’t recommend young children. Older (perhaps 11+) dog savvy children should be OK.

She is happy to have her harness put on and walks well on a lead. If she wants to go in a different direction she will pull a little on the lead, but is easy to redirect. The only time she does pull is if there is another dog running around, she can see the movement and is quite excited.

She currently sleeps downstairs and after a period of her learning where things were and making sure she was clean she now has free roam and finds the chairs and carpets comfy to sleep on.

Precious needs a very secure house and garden. She absolutely cannot hear and her sight is limited, so if she got out it would be very difficult to get her back. She learns very quickly where the doors / gates/ exits are and is very quick to go through if she wants to. Because she cannot go off lead when out on walks she would appreciate a large secure garden. She loves exploring the garden and running round. Members of the household would need to be responsible about not leaving external doors / gates open. She could be an only dog, she loves a lot of attention. Or in a home with other friendly dogs. Precious can’t see to read body language or hear to hear warning growls, so any other dog in the house would have to be gentle and laid back. All in all she is a delightful dog and, providing you understand her hearing /sight limitations and are prepared to work with her you will find Precious an asset to your family and a joy to live with.

Norma Bates **ADOPTED*

392751353_7666926716667641_7412671039641137408_n

Norma D2023-139

PLEASE READ THE APPLICATION FULLY TO SEE WHAT THE DOG NEEDS. IF WE ASK FOR A RESIDENT DOG THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS.

Needs at least one resident dog
Older teenage or no children
Fine with cats

Norma is a 7 year old Bichon described by her foster mum a big fluffy teddy bear with eyes like big chocolate buttons that melt your heart. Sometimes her eyes are sad, she’s had an awful life. Norma was rescued for a terrible situation and this is when her new life started and the search for her special family began.

Norma lives with her foster family and can sometimes be nervous of men and new people coming into her home. Sometimes she will tell them off and other times she will take herself off to her safe space to watch you from a distance. She will come out when she realises there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Norma is a cheeky little pudding and will sometimes pinch foster mums spot on the settee if shes not looking. She is also a bit of a curtain twitcher and would make an excellent member of the neighbourhood watch team. She hasn’t really played with toys but I’m sure she will in time as she does love to chew on a plastic flavoured chicken bone. Norma likes to jump onto the settee and cuddle up to the other dogs in the home. If foster mum is making a fuss of her dogs Norma comes over for a fuss and loves you to smooth her and give her a tickle behind her ears. She can sometimes be a little nervous, but when you talk to her gently, she will come to you wagging her tail. She is slowly starting to trust humans

Norma lives with a cat and pays absolutely no attention to her apart from trying to steal her food when she’s not looking

Norma needs a quiet home, so it’s best for her if she doesn’t live with children.

Norma allows foster mum to put a harness and leads on her and enjoys going out for a walk and having a sniff around, she will walk on her own or with the other dogs. She isn’t particularly fond of really loud noises as they scare her, so she is currently walked with two leads at all times in case she tries to bolt. She doesn’t pull and is a pleasure to walk.

Norma sleeps upstairs and is dry all night sleeping at the side of the bed with the other dogs. When she wants to get up she will put a paws on the bed and start tapping for you wake up but if you would like a lie in, she will go back to bed. She is so cute in the morning it’s like being woken up by a real life teddy bear.

Norma loves her food and absolutely loves dinner time waiting patiently with the other dogs. Her favourite treat by far is cheese, although she is partial to a banana. On Sunday when foster mum makes lunch, she enjoys raw carrot, raw, broccoli, and raw cauliflower. The way to Norma’s heart is definitely food.

Norma needs a quiet home with patient, kind, loving and understanding owners with not too many visitors, who will allow her as much time as she needs for her to overcome her insecurities and come out of her shell. She would need at least one doggy friend but the more the merrier. She doesn’t need a particularly active home she’s quite content but does enjoy a walk. It would be lovely for Norma to experience all that life has to offer. She has never been to the beach or on a doggy holiday this would be absolutely amazing for her to experience, she also loves a lovely soft warm bed and chair that she can jump on to carry on her neighbourhood watch duties. Oh and don’t forget the cheese.

Misty ADOPTED

391738755_6941832932538223_528856645064767554_n

Misty D2023-142

Needs a resident dog for confidence
Not bothered by resident cat
Dog savvy children
Would benefit from attending puppy class

Misty is a 4 Year old cocker spaniel described by her foster mum as very loving. She loves to be close to her humans and have cuddles. She is playful but not quite sure how to play and is just discovering toys. She has settled well with other dogs and is quickly learning how to behave. She can be a bit nervous of new situations but responds well to encouragement and praise. She is happy to jump onto the sofa and have cuddles and responds to commands such as ‘wait’, ‘leave’ etc and is ready to learn more.

She has not bothered with the resident cat in her foster home.

Not child tested but so friendly and playful would be ok with any age children as long as they give her space and time to settle.

Misty is just learning to play with toys. She loves to shred paper and is just learning from the other dogs how to play with toys. Misty would love someone to teach her how to play.

Misty has been on short walks on lead and harness. The whole world is new to her so she is slow and likes to sniff and explore. She is responsive to calling her name and telling her ‘stay close’ if a bit nervous. She is excited to have her harness on and wants to try out everything going.

Misty sleeps downstairs with the other dogs. She has a choice of sofas and dog beds.

House training is a work in progress and she is starting to learn that she gets lots of praise for going to toilet in the garden. There have been a few accidents but this is to be expected. She does start circling when she wants a wee so is taken outside and praised for going. She is getting there but will need some help to learn fully.

Misty eats away from the other dogs and is learning to eat her own food. She is great at taking treats, she knows each dog has their own treat and will take hers off to a safe space to enjoy. She is just starting to learn to sit to take a treat. She is starting to learn to respect others around food and has already learnt her food is safe and she is not to bother other dogs when they are eating.

Misty would love an active home with people around most of the time to give her cuddles and introduce her to fun activities. She would love to be with another confident and friendly dog to play with and show her how to behave properly. She would benefit enormously from going to training classes as she is so eager to please. Misty can grumble at times at other dogs, but that is just jealousy, she wants all the attention on her and needs to learn to share love and she is slowly starting to learn this. She shows no aggression, just a grumble. Misty love to cuddle and give kisses. She would be happy in an active home with a lot of love, patience, fun times and lots of cuddles.

Clara ADOPTED

374763846_1686078228532883_1416703395396536568_n

Clara D2023-120

Needs a resident dog
No children or late teens
Fine with cats
Patient and loving owners

Clara is estimated to be around 5 years old and is a nervous Bichon who is very much a work in progress. As an ex breeder her view of the world was very limited with no love given. Her world has now been turned upside down so she is trying to find where she fits into it. Having rescued too many to count like Clara we know that as fosterers we have done all we can now and she needs to grow in her forever home with her special family. Anyone who has adopted an ex breeder knows the very familiar one step forward and two back that this journey will be, but it will be so worth it. To see her blossom into the princess she should have always been is just so rewarding.

Clara is nervous of people and her first instinct is to stay away and avoid any contact at present. Her foster family allowed her time to decompress and think about the world and now she is starting to become more at ease with them but eye contact, unexpected movement, loud sounds all overwhelm her and she will seek a safe space to work things out. Her new family will need to ensure they put no pressure on Clara until she shows an interest in them. This is going to be all on her terms.

Despite this Clara is far more relaxed in the garden with the resident dogs. Her tail goes up and she’s even had a few little rolls in the grass! She hasn’t met any people outside her foster family yet.

Clara is at the very beginning of her journey and is learning that she is now safe and has just recently given gentle licks to foster mum’s hand in the morning. She will need her humans to have patience and give her all the time she needs to venture into her new family life. She is such a lovely, gentle girl, the rewards for her forever family will be just wonderful.

Clara takes no notice at all of her foster family’s cat.

Foster mum feels that an adult only home is the best environment to help Clara feel safe and secure.

Clara hasn’t shown an interest in playing with toys yet, but will sometimes rest her head on soft toys when placed in her bed. She is beginning to follow the resident dogs outside, sniffing and exploring, and will watch them playing together.

Clara will let foster mum put harness on, and attach a lead but will pull away and try to escape if any pressure is put on it. This is all new to her and it’s going to take time. Her first reaction is flight, her forever family will need to slowly help her learn to trust them and to believe that she is now safe and sound.

Clara sleeps right through the night in a dog bed next to foster parent’s bed.

Clara is clean overnight and toilets in the garden, She does not ask to be let out but will go into the garden if the door is open.

Clara eats separately from the resident dogs at present due to her nervousness, but will now eat her food with foster mum sitting quietly in the same room. She is learning how lovely treats are, and will now accept little bits of chicken, ham and cheese from foster mum’s hand. She has never shown any resource guarding over food.

Clara needs a quiet, calm home environment where her new family have experience in nurturing and caring for frightened, rescued souls like gentle Clara. An adult only home would be best, with a gentle, calm dog to help Clara learn that her new humans are kind and loving, and to help her learn how wonderful a dog’s life can be. She will need access to a completely secure garden, with no chance of escape. It’s also important for someone to be home most of the time to help Clara form a positive and bonding relationship.

Sooty D2023-134

Can be an only dog or live with another dog
Has been fine with cats he’s seen
Can live with sensible children

Sooty is a 3 year old Maltese cross described by his foster mum as a special little man who absolutely adores humans. He gets so excited when he meets new people and will jump and bark in excitement licking your face to show you how pleased he is to meet you. He soon settles but will still like to sit on your lap and snuggle in.

Sooty is a cuddly boy that loves nothing more than snuggling on his humans lap or going for walks. He is fine wearing a harness and lead and loves to have walks and explore the outside world. As soon as he sees the lead he gets so excited and jumps around eager to go.

Sooty is fine with cats in the garden in his foster home but is not currently living with any.

Sooty loves everyone and would be fine being rehomed with gentle children that respect him and are not to heavy handed.

He loves to play with toys but he prefers his humans to play with him and throw toys for him.

Sooty sleeps on his foster mums bed and he sleeps all night.

Sooty is not 100% toilet trained but he is learning to go outside when taken regularly.

Sooty is fine eating around other dogs but can be a bit fussy with his food. He prefers chicken but will eat wet food at a push.

Sooty is looking for a home that will totally love him and enjoy snuggling as much as him. Someone who is home most of the time and someone who is willing to take him on daily walks so he can explore the outside world. He can be rehomed as an only dog or with another dog.

Jolene ADOPTED

383883953_211746111914524_6890613943864262618_n

Jolene D2023-56

Can be an only dog
Could live with a male dog.
No cats
Older children
A family who loves to cuddle

Jolene is a 3 year old Pug who loves everyone! She gives lots of kisses on your face, hands or even feet! She gets all excited around new people and does a little ‘happy dance’.

Veterinary history to be discussed but she had to have an eye removed which is completely healed and doesn’t bother her.

Jolene is a very sweet girl who loves company in the house. She likes to follow you around everywhere and she likes sleeping at your feet when you are sat at a table/desk. If you get up you can guarantee she is coming too. When she is ready for a nap, she will snuggle up with you and will nestle right into you, or she’ll find a good spot to stretch out. She suckles on beds/blankets/cushions and kneads them for comfort.

She likes to have things to do and enjoys licki mats and playing with soft toys. She enjoys watching the TV too and will tilt her head side to side listening!

She is not cat tested but she LOVES to chase birds in the garden so we think she would chase cats..

She is a typical pug bouncy and a bit of bulldozer despite her small size! She can also be a bit mouthy when playing which is just over excitement. Due to this we think she would probably be better off with slightly older, sensible children.

Jolene loves playing with soft toys and will play by herself.

She is great with harness and lead on and gets excited when she sees it or you say walkies! She has been practicing in the garden but will need reminding of some manners on the lead, she is mostly good but gets over excited and pulls/barks. She has started going walkies and this is improving daily.

She currently sleeps downstairs on a dog bed, but she would be just as at home on the bed!

She is mostly clean in the house. She has had the odd accident – she isn’t good at letting you know when she needs to go, so will need reminding of this.

She is a typical pug and loves her food. She will grumble if another dog approaches her when she is eating. No problem when fed separately and she hasn’t approached the resident dog whilst he is eating. She is fine with treats and chews and would eat any sort of human food if left unattended.

Jolene is so easy going she would fit into any home. She ideally needs someone around most the time who appreciates her pug-ness. Someone who has the time to put in some training. Apart from that she would settle into most homes well as long as there is love and food. She is a bit of a ladies man and could live with a male dog.

Luna ADOPTED

382739005_10160743261114346_7296654976000409446_n

Luna D2023-007

Can be an only dog
Can live with another older quieter dog
Fine with children
Active home

Luna is 6 year old Staffy that came into foster due to having a pyometra and had to have emergency surgery- she still has stitches and is on limited exercise till she fully recovers but is doing great and feeling so much better. Despite having gone through so much she is a super happy girl.

Luna is a very content young lady. She is a waggy tailed staffy in the house and is always happy to see you and may even sing to say hello to you when she is in the mood.

Luna is a very good house guest, she is calm in the house, loves zoomies in the garden and loves a cuddle but will also put herself to bed when she’s had enough.

Luna ignores the resident house cat, outside she would chase a cat but could live with one with careful introductions.

Luna would be fine with children, she can be boisterous with toys but has a lovely nature.

Luna loves a tennis ball, she can get over excited and start barking when she sees one but she’s very playful with toys.

Out and about Luna can be a bit of a puller initially but soon calms down on a walk and walks well.

She currently sleeps in the kitchen at night with a baby gate across that she seems fine with.

House trained.

Luna loves her food and treats.

Luna would like an active home with people home during the day to give her company, a home ideally without other dogs but she could live with a calmer older dog. She just prefers her own space indoors and can be boisterous when playing so would benefit from a one on one home but equally she lives happily with other dogs in foster so with the right match she could be homed with another dog. A home that will appreciate it’s been a lot of change for Luna recently as she might take time to settle.

Bodger ADOPTED

376622628_10227307304281456_8315088334340527007_n

Bodger D2023-122

Can be an only dog if owners around most of the time
Can live with another sensible dog
Older teenage children
No cats
He’s a work in progress and will need patience and time

Bodger is a 2 year old Mini Dachshund who is currently very unsure of his place in the world. Once he trusts you, he bonds very quickly and gives loving bumps with his nose when he wants attention. In the home with his person he is settled but if any strangers come to visit then his nervous side shows by him barking and growling. This is being managed by placing him in a cage (his safe space) allowing him to think about his behaviour and learn that people are not there to hurt him. Once he is calm the door is opened and he can choose if he wants to say hello or not.

He is happy wearing a harness and lead but due to his nervous nature he has not yet been taken out on walks. He is improving every day and there is nothing more his foster mum can teach him now. He needs to continue his lessons in his forever home and bond with his forever family. Once he feels safe his character starts to show and just like an onion, he has many layers, these are going to need time and patience to be peeled back allowing him to be the happy little fur baby he always should have been.

Bodger being the good little sausage that he is loves his bed and falls asleep with it in his mouth for comfort. He loves toys and to play and really loves being in the garden exploring. He will play with other dogs but can take it or leave it preferring to be with his human.

Bodger does not like cats and is not keen on small people. He can be rehomed with older sensible teens but anything smaller really worries him.

He currently sleeps in his bed in a cage (his safe place) in foster mums bedroom and dreams of chasing squirrels at night. He loves his food but is not a greedy little sausage and is happy to eat with others around. He also takes a treat nicely.

Bodger in true sausage style is house trained but if its raining you are going with him with a big umbrella so he doesn’t get wet.

Bodger is very much a work in progress he has clearly had an unsettled past which has led him to distrust people and afraid that they are going to harm him. He can be homed with another dog or as an only dog as long as his human is there to support him. He is not going to be good in a busy household and needs lots of quiet time for his worries to subside. When he realises he’s safe he’s very loving and cuddly but feels better when he knows his boundaries and routine.

Zadie ADOPTED

375148973_10168724297835085_560915297245874957_n

Zadie D2023-128

Can be an only dog with doggy friends
Can also live with another similar size or larger dog
Children over 7
Not cat tested
Enjoys her walkies

Zadie is a 3 year old Pug cross Maltese described by her foster mum as a friendly little girl that loves all humans in the home and those she meets out on a walk. She loves to sit in the window and watch the world go by reporting back about any noises she can hear outside. She is also great at letting you know when someone knocks the door as she doesn’t want you to miss any people that may be coming to pay her attention or any exciting deliveries from the postman for her.

Zadie is fine around other dogs but can sometimes be a grumpy bear if they disturb her when she wants to be alone or is pondering her next potential role as an Ewok in Star Wars. Like all Ewoks she shows her displeasure by grumbling.

Zadie has been great with sensible gentle children and was very excited to meet a dog savvy child who offered up lots of attention and belly rubs. This young lady sure does love the lime light.

Zadie likes to chew her toys so super strong toys are best for her and can keep her busy for at least 10 mins. Despite living with lots of dogs she doesn’t really play with them very often as she doesn’t appear to know how to and gets the signals all wrong. She clearly wants to know the rules of the game but no one has told her how and she can charge in like a bull in a china shop not knowing her own strength.

Zadie loves to be out on the lead exploring but be warned do not mention the word “Walkies” to her or mime it or say it so quietly only mice can hear as believe us Zadie will hear you and will then pester you until you take her out. She loves the smells and getting attention from other walkers and dogs. She walks lovely on a lead and pays attention to foster mum when given guidance.

Zadie sleeps on foster mums bed all night with no accidents.

Zadie is house trained and she always has access to the garden.

Zadie can be a fussy eater but is fed separately in the foster home so she can take her time. She has mentioned that she would like to be homed with a Michelin star chef but we are trying to manage her expectations.

Zadie could be rehomed with a larger dog or one of similar size as she’s not sure how to play with small breeds and can be a little ruff. She’s fantastic with gentle children so can be rehomed with children from 7 years up. She would love a home that would walk her a few times a day to explore.

Mabel D2023-123

Can be an only dog
Can live with another quiet dog who doesn’t mind sharing
Children 10 and over
Frenchie knowledgeable home

Mabel is a 2 year old French Bulldog described by her foster mum as great with adults and children in the home and loves to meet people out and about, she will bark if she sees people behind a fence or window but is all cuddles and love when she can actually reach them.

She can be nervy about sudden hand movements which is why we would recommend a home with children over the age of 10.

She bonds very quickly and will want a Frenchie knowledgeable home who are used to their quirks.

She is very cuddly and is very much a people’s dog, if it was up to her she would go everywhere with you and sit on your lap at all times.

She is not a fan of sharing her humans with other dogs, she would like all the time and attention for herself, she is very loyal and an absolute goofball.

Mabel is fully toilet trained, crate trained and knows basic commands (sit, wait, stay etc)

She enjoys her toys but does not like to share, she could be re-home with another dog but that dog would need to be submissive and owners experienced with Frenchie’s and know how to introduce properly.

Whilst in foster she has done a combination of sleeping with her foster mum and the different children in the home. She has also slept downstairs with the other dogs and sleept in the crate .. she has been fine with all of these so it is up to her new owner what they would prefer.

If the other dog is the home will not allow Mabel to have her own way with high value chews, toys and food then she will throw her dolly out the pram.

There are no issues around normal dog food.

Mabel would suit as an only dog home or could live in a multiple home if owners are experienced with frenchies and their quirks. She would suit most homes where there is a person or multiple people who will treat her like the queen she thinks she is and give her endless fuss, attention and cuddles.

Jack ADOPTED

376421290_10228251936591097_6059599060951076012_n

Jack D22023-124

Can be an only dog with his owners around most of the time
Can live with another dog
Dog savvy cats
Dog savvy children 8 and over
Patient and positive parents

Jack is a 6 month old Labrador cross Collie pup described by his foster mum a total people lover. He adores being adored and is incredibly affectionate. He’s a bit unsure on first meetings but as soon as he’s decided you’re ok then be prepared to be smothered in kisses. Unfortunately due to his background Jack was too scared to go outside the home when he first came into foster, with gentle persistence and the help of treats that has gradually changed until he’s now having two short walks a day in quieter areas. He was very nervous about interacting with people and dogs whilst out at first but now he will happily say hello to a select few, he generally makes a beeline for people rather than dogs but he is happy to greet well behaved dogs.

Jack is very happy in his home and garden with his people around. He loves to shadow his people around the house as they go about their day. When he first arrived he couldn’t bear to be out of sight of his persons but as he’s gained confidence he has become a little more independent, however be prepared that he may regress to being clingy again in his new home. It’s very likely he will always be the kind of dog who just loves to be with his people. Despite loving his people if Jack sees you leave the house and not just go upstairs out of his sight, he has been okay to leave for short periods. This is helped with a particularly tasty chew or frozen kong and this can be built on in his forever home as he gains in confidence. Due to his background he doesn’t like being shut in a room by himself and will cry. He hasn’t been destructive at all but he is still only a puppy so he may still discover his naughty side when he’s feeling more settled and confident.

Jack is wary of cats so possibly could be homed with a dog savvy cat

Jack adores all people big and small but he’s a very sensitive pup who is also a bit clumsy and will jump up and occasionally still puppy mouth although this is becoming less frequents. We would say he can be homed with kind dog savvy kids 8+ depending on their experience of dogs and their ability to understand Jack’s worries and help him to overcome them with their parents guidance.

Jack loves to play with stuffed toys, chews, but most of all he loves to chase his ball in the garden. He will play with the resident dog if they’re both inclined and his play has become increasingly confident and more boisterous, in short more like a six month old puppy which is a big difference from when he first arrived and he ran away from the resident dog as soon as she play bowed. He is equally happy to play alone with his toys or with any available human.

Jack had a very poor start in life kept constantly in one room so came to us with no experience of the outside world and had extremely limited experience of socialising with other dogs. Consequently he was terrified of going outside the home. During his time in foster he has worked really hard gradually becoming more used to the world around him to the point he has now been taken on two solo walks a day and is doing really well learning how to walk on a lead and harness whilst coping with all the sensory input around him. He still need his person to advocate for him when meeting new people and dogs outside so his confidence improves further and he is not in situations that cause him to regress. Getting used to traffic is still a work in progress but he has gone from panicking at the sight and sound of a car to being mildly nervous if something is too close or too big or too noisy and this progress will need to be continued in his new home if Jack is to become fully comfortable moving in the big wide world.

Jack started by sleeping on foster mum’s bed because he hated the crate, he doesn’t move around much ‘, basically gives you a cuddle and curls up really small to sleep. However he has now started to sleep in his own bed in the bedroom and he will sleep a few hours in there before getting back on the bed with foster mum. With time and confidence and the right dog bed I think he’ll probably migrate there himself.

Completely house trained and asks to go out.

Jack has a healthy appetite and has shown no signs of possessiveness around food although they’re given treats together jack is fed twice a day separately from the resident dog because the resident dog is a food thief!

Jack can definitely go to a home as an only dog as he adores people or he can be homed with another kind dog who doesn’t mind an attention hogger as Jack is convinced humans are there to adore him only and will butt the other dog out of the way to get that attention. What is most important is that Jack finds people who are prepared to continue to work with him in overcoming his fears of the outside world in a positive, kind and patient way. He has made remarkable progress in a short time and he needs a home who are going to build on that progress and help him catch up on the socialisation he’s missed. A decent size garden for Jack to play in and chase his ball would be a plus. Jack hasn’t been exercised appropriately so far because he was shut away in one room and as a consequence he became quite a lazy pup who loves his naps but he is beginning to love his walks and will eventually love much longer walks as he builds his strength and stamina so will need his new family to be fairly active. Jack also needs people around most of the time who won’t mind him following them around to see what they’re up to, cuddling on the sofa, being their little work buddy and generally adoring them! He will also need training in manners and etiquette as this was non-existent in his life before coming into foster He has started with some basics in order to tackle his jumping up etc but he will benefit from further reward based, positive training.

Jill ADOPTED

375051872_259256043612402_3247759289229569250_n

Jill D2023-125

Needs a resident playful dog
Sensible teenage children who will help build her confidence
Would benefit from attending puppy school
Active home with patient loving parents

Jill is a 7 month old Lab cross Collie who hasn’t had the best start and has seen very little of the big wide world. When she first arrived in foster, she was very nervous and scared of everyone and everything. Within 48 hrs she was a different dog and felt very safe with her foster family as they knew she needed time to settle and adjust. She can still be wary of new people entering the home but as long as they wait for her to come to them then she is fine. She likes to watch and takes her queues from her foster mum.

Jill is well behaved and is learning to be a playful pup, learning that play time is such fun! She loves to have someone to play with her and really loves to play rough and tumble with her foster siblings.

Jill is wary of the family cats and has shown no sign of chasing and is just curious as to who they are.

She absolutely loves the sofa to have a nap on and loves nothing more than to snuggle up to her foster family.

Due to Jill being shy and a little nervous she can be homed with older dog savy teenagers.

Jill is amazing on a harness but is scared of the outside world and all the noises. She will need a home where her family will spend the time to help build her confidence with walking in the big wide world. She is very new to all this but is getting braver every day.

Jill loves to sleep! She loves to sleep on the sofa, on your lap and on your bed. She is also crate trained.
At the moment she sleeps with her doggy siblings in the kitchen at night.

Jill hasn’t had any accidents in the home and hasn’t shown any destructive nature but she is only a puppy and accidents can happen.

Jillie loves her food, she eats well from her bowl in between her foster siblings.

Jill deserves the absolute best in her forever home. She needs a home where someone is around in the day to help her build her confidence and to show her how great life is. When settled she will need an active life where she will be given lovely long daily walks. Jill is currently a little shy so a calm household is essential in helping her understand that life will be great and she is safe. She needs another confident playful dog that will help her to come out of her shell and play tuggies with her as currently this is her favourite game. Jill would also benefit from attending puppy school to build her confidence in a controlled environment.

Dorothy ADOPTED

374174211_10168713375475085_4655203670016593989_n

Dorothy D2023-119

Needs a resident dog
Good with cats in garden
Older children
Loving patient owners

Dorothy is a 4 year old Yorkie described by her foster mum as a lover of all humans she’s happiest snuggled up on the sofa resting her little head on any human willing to offer a lap. She is a proper cuddle monster; she adores laying on the settee next to her human so if sofas are out of bounds Dorothy is not the dog for you. She’s a laid back little lady who likes the quieter things in life but in the right home would love to learn all about the outside world.

Dorothy is not bothered about wearing a harness or lead but is currently unsure about the outside world when on a walk but this is work in progress and will need to be continued in her new home.

Dorothy is not bothered by cats that visit in the garden but has not been tested in the house with one but foster mum thinks she would be fine.

Dorothy is fine with quiet gentle children who give her space and understand she can be nervous at times. Children about 10 plus would be fine in the home and visiting children any age would be fine as long as supervised.

Dorothy has not yet learnt to play with toys and although she is currently living with another dog, she does not depend on her but watches and learns from the resident dog so will need another dog in her new home.

Dorothy sleeps wherever she chooses in her foster home. She currently prefers to sleep on her mums bed and sleeps soundly all night with no accidents.

Dorothy is nearly housetrained and will use a puppy pad now and again if she doesn’t have access to the garden.

Dorothy eats well in her foster home she is separated to eat from the other dog as she will steal the other dogs food once she’s eaten hers

Dorothy would benefit from a quiet home that would teach her all about the outside world that she’s missed out on so far. A patient loving home that will allow her to snuggle and feel safe with her humans and another dog in the home to show her the ropes would be ideal.

Ellie & Tippi ADOPTED

369652096_10168134491230637_8724843319671482415_n

Ella and Tippi D2023-116/117

Need to be rehomed together
They can be as a pair or live with other dogs
Not cat or small furry tested
Older sensible children
Patient and loving family who will spoil them rotten

Ella is 6 years old and Tippi is 4. The girls are not currently looking their best but are 100% better than they were. They are preparing for next years summer body now.

Ella and Tippi are Shih tzu’s and believed to be mother and daughter. They need to be rehomed together as they are very bonded. They are described by their foster mum as dear little souls that just want to be loved. They have not had the best start and came into rescue as ex breeders with quite severe skin problems so don’t currently look their best. Foster mum has worked really hard and they are now waiting to blossom into the dogs that they should have always been.

They are fine with other dogs.

Currently their favourite thing is being outside in the sun ( with doggy sun jackets so they don’t burn) or lying on a sunbed in the shade. They are very low maintenance and are just enjoying being safe and loved. They have recently discovered the sofa and cuddles and are always up for a pat or tickle under the chin. Most of the time you don’t even know they are around just the odd bark.

Tippi likes playing with a ball or toy and Ella just watches. They have their own little characters with Tippi being playful and Ella being the watchful assessing one. They are not particularly nervous dogs they are just very much accepting of everything and not reactive to things at all.

Both are fine with gentle children and have been enjoying the attention.

Not cat or small furry tested

Lead and harness training is very much a work in progress. They are fine wearing a harnesses but are working on having the lead attached. This training will need to continue in the garden once they have settled before progressing outside to the big wide world.

They currently sleep in their own beds in the kitchen and sleep all night.

House training is almost there they just need reminding occasionally to go outside.

They both eat fine not greedy and not bothered about other dogs being around.

The girls need to be rehomed together and this could be as a pair or with other dogs. They would fit in lovely to any home. They need a family who is going to adore and spoil them. These girls when ready are not going to need big long walks but they still should get to enjoy the outside world once they are ready.

Daisy D2023-115

*Can be an only dog or live with another

* Older teenage children

* Dachshund experienced home

Daisy is a 2 year old Dachshund described by her foster mum as a little timid when she first meets you but is desperate to trust. Once she knows you she is very friendly, playful and cuddly.

She is interested in cats so probably would be best living with other dogs rather than cats or small animals.

As she can be a little timid she would suit an adult home, or a home with older children who are understanding of a dogs need for space.

Daisy plays with toys and once she knows another dog will play with them too.

Daisy walks well on a harness.

Daisy sleeps downstairs at night with no issue.

House training is a work in progress so needs patient owners to work on this with her.

Daisy is very smart and food driven so training is always fun.

Daisy needs a knowledgeable Dachshund home or a home that’s researched the breed. A home with or without other dogs. A home that will take her on adventures.

Liza Minelli ADOPTED

Liza Minelli D2023-114

Resident dog of a similar size
Older teenage children
Chihuahua experienced home

Liza is a nearly two years old chihuahua described by her foster mum as a typical chi. She is scared and unsure of new people when she first meets them and will bark growl or hide if she feels out of her depth. Once she’s given you her approval she’s a happy girl and will happily trot around following you and snuggle next to you. She needs her new family to advocate for her and leave her to digest her new surroundings in these situations but it doesn’t take her long to trust then she’s a happy cheeky little girl.

She can also be unsure when first meeting dogs, well everyone is much bigger than her, but she is in foster with 3 other dogs and although she now and again tries to play with them especially the small breed and follow them she’s happy to be with her human as much as she can.

Liza has taken a huge liking to the 14 year old in the home and is quite happy to spend all her time with him and no one else unless he’s not there then foster mum or dad will have to do. She will support him when he’s playing on his Xbox by cuddling right up to him and follow him in and out the garden when he calls her. She sleeps all night on his bed and will sit in the window and wait for him when he pops out.

She has tried on a few occasions to play with the smaller breed dogs in her foster home and with time and the right dog they could be best of friends

Liza adores being out on the lead and gets excited when she sees it. She is happy to meet new people out and about but will constantly look to her humans for reassurance.

Liza sleeps on her foster mums sons bed and sleeps all night cuddled up and it’s her best place to be.

Liza needs encouragement from her humans to remember to toilet outside. As soon as she is in the garden she will go but she needs to be reminded.

Liza does not have any food aggression she eats very slowly and will need time to finish her meal if around other dogs as they may be likely to steal it.

Liza is looking for a chihuahua experienced home with another dog for her to follow and learn from. She would love a teenager or family member that would invite her for cuddles and let her sleep on their bed. Small children are scary to her so no young children in the home. She would like to continue her adventures outside so needs a family who will take her for nice walkies.

Fudge & Spangles ADOPTED

363839610_6661981323856720_3405891494335553886_n

Fudge and Spangles D2023-109

Need to be homed together
Not cat or small furry tested
Older sensible children
Patient loving owners

Fudge and Spangles are 4 year old Cocker Spaniel ex breeding bitches that are super bonded and really rely on each other. We would really like them to find a home together as they take so much comfort from each other.

Fudge is very nervous of people and is currently de compressing and not engaging watching what Spangles is doing and learning that she is safe. Spangles adores people, she wants to be as close as possible and have cuddles 24 hours a day. She is a little Diva princess and wants you sat next to her at all times. She will shout if you sit on another chair away from her. She adores attention and her tail does not stop wagging as she accompanies you everywhere you go.

Fudge despite being nervous of people is comfortable in the company of other dogs. She prefers to be in the garden or in an open crate indoors and has just started to sleep on the sofa accepting being gently stroked when calm. Outside her tail is always wagging and she desperately wants to come for a fuss but not yet brave enough. She will sniff fingers or take a treat then scuttles off again. She is being praised for every positive step and enjoys being praised.

Spangles is full of confidence and is even a bit cheeky. She is very inquisitive and wants to help with whatever her human is doing. She does not like other dogs and will give a warning to any that come too close. We feel she is protecting Fudge and as Fudges confidence grows this improve.

Not cat or small furry tested.

This gorgeous pair can be homed with sensible older children who will understand that Fudge is nervous and needs time and Spangles can be their go to dog for initial gentle cuddles.

Both are not yet interested in toys or playing and do not play with other dogs. They just rely on each other.

Its unclear if these pair have ever been walked or experienced the joys of the outside world so lead and harness training is a work in progress. This is not a priority at the moment. Making them feel safe and happy is.

The pair currently sleep together in an open crate or on the sofa cuddled up.

Toilet training is also a work in progress and they are improving daily.

Fudge is happy to eat with one other foster dog and away from the others and prefers to eat in the garden. She is just learning to take treats and will take one and run off somewhere safe to eat it.

Spangles eats outside with the other foster dog, away from other dogs. She loves her food and will eat everyone’s given a chance so she is learning to leave others alone whilst they are eating.

The pair need a calm home where they can learn and grow. Fudge needs very patient, calm, kind and gentle pawrents. Time and encouragement to settle and feel safe. Spangles will lap up all the attention that Fudge doesn’t currently want. She will need owners who would be patient to train her to walk on a lead forging the way for her sister when she is ready.

Elton ADOPTED

362282927_10218840703289076_779500135399364362_n

Elton D2023-91

*Needs a resident dog

* dog savvy cat

* Active family

Elton is a 2yr 4 month Bichon/shih tzu Cross described by his foster mum as a cheeky little man who loves attention once he knows you. He is quite confident in the home and isn’t fazed by anything. He can be a little hand shy and wary of new people that visit and when he’s out on a walk. He loves to push the cushions off the sofas and pull off any fleece that are there as well and dig them into a pile on the floor.

He loves to play with toys and throw them about and jump from chair to chair chasing after them. He also enjoys chasing a ball and runs past his foster parents cheekily rather than drop it to be thrown again. He can be a cheeky boy and will tug at sleeves or trouser hems trying to get his foster parents to play tug.

He loves to play with the resident bichon and nips her legs and ears to get her to play and sometimes it’s as if they are boxing. It’s so lovely to watch this happy playful side come out.

Elton loves to lay on the sofa and snuggle in for a cuddle as long as you softly stroke his face. He so wants love and attention and is starting to relax at being picked up and handled when needed.

Elton lives with a cat and tries to play but the cat is in charge and gives him a swipe which is quite surprising for Elton who just sits looking bemused.

We would recommend children of 10 and over as Elton is going through his puppy phase and is a bit bitey and mouthing which is being worked on. Obviously being older his teeth aren’t puppy teeth anymore. He has finally found his play mode and can jump up suddenly ,so children need to be aware of how to treat him. He has met small children out on his walk and has been really good. His owner just needs to be aware that he’s quite bouncy and given the chance will jump up that can frighten children that don’t know him.

Elton gets so excited when he knows he’s going on a walk but will bite and pull his harness as if it’s a game Eventually when his harness is on he is desperate to get out and will pull with excitement. He’s confident on a walk, but its going to take a bit of time until he knows he needs to walk in a relatively straight line and not do whirlys and wrap himself around the person walking him. This is due to him being so interested in everything and everyone he sees out walking. He is desperate to meet every dog he encounters and will whimper if the dog is too far away to have a sniff of. As he is new to the outside world his parents need to initially pick his friends for him to keep him safe.

Elton sleeps on his foster mums bed soundly all night and likes to cuddle up looking so content when he gets a cuddle back.

Elton is 95% house trained and will make his way to the garden door to see if it’s open.

Elton currently eats using a slow feeder as he likes to inhale his food and away from other dogs as he will help them finish their food too. He needs to be handed his treat and told a firm no when others are given theirs as he will try and grab each and every treat, he is very fast and will try and snatch them from our hands
He is starting to listen but needs to be told no and that he must wait his turn.

Elton needs a home with another active dog around his age that wants to play chase and maybe bitey face games. He would like at least two decent walks a day, short walks wouldn’t do as he needs to get rid of lots of energy. He would be more suited to a family that lead a relatively active life. His adopters will need to realise that he is only just going through the puppy phase that he missed out on so he can be a bit naughty and like a whirl wind at times.

Rita ADOPTED

360098388_10159408040191782_1298097718831707696_n

Rita D2023-107

Can be an only dog
Can also live with a calm dog
Not cat or small fury tested
Older children
Active home who will put in the time for love and training

Rita is a 15 month old Labrador described by her foster mum as a people lover both in and outside of the home. She loves to be petted, stroked and cuddled by humans and bonds quickly with people she meets.

She can be quite boisterous and excitable so would highly recommend training classes.

Rita is adorable, loving and cuddly. She loves to play with her toys, gnaw on an antler and fetch the tennis ball in the garden. She is very sensitive to unfamiliar sounds and sights such as a hoover, mop, lawn mower etc but as foster mum is a domestic goddess she is improving daily.

She is not cat or small furry tested.

We would recommend children of teenage years and above as Rita is still learning boundaries and has the tendency to bounce and be mouthy when excited or wanting human interaction.

She loves to play with her toys alone and tries to encourage the resident dog to interact in play. Sadly he finds her a bit OTT !!. She can get over excited when interacting with her humans and can become possessive of her human affection and push the resident dog out of the way. This is being worked on and she is slowly learning to share. She just needs firm boundaries, time and training.

For a youngster she walks really well on a harness and lead but again sensitive to unfamiliar sights. She will sit and wait at the kerb when encouraged and interacts favourably with other dogs when out and about.

Rita currently sleeps in a crate downstairs and sleeps soundly through the night without a sound.

Rita is house trained but hasn’t found her voice yet and you have to anticipate the signs of needing to go out.

Rita is not food orientated but also doesn’t like sharing her food so will need to be fed separate from any other dogs. She is learning to take treats nicely and be patient.

Rita would love an active household who would give her lots of exciting walks. She travels well harnessed in the back of the car.

Rita would benefit from training classes – she is quick to learn.
