We provide much needed care and a safe haven to unwanted, abandoned and mistreated dogs from across the Midlands.

Dogs of
Meet Zippy!
Zippy
Lurcher, Dog
Approx 4 Year
 
Zippy has been with us for a while now, but he is such a lovely and friendly lad. Zippy loves his comfort, and has a duvet in his kennel! He just loves snuggling into his bed.
Although Zippy is not good with other dogs, he has come on so much in terms of socializing, to the point where he has been taking regular walks in the forest. He even went on the Forest Dog Rescue Sponsor Walk with a group of other dogs.
Zippy loves rolling around in the grass, especially when the sun is bright and warm on his belly! But sitting in the grass for cuddles will do. Zippy has some toy sausages that he loves to play with in the playpen.
Zippy will make a beautiful companion for someone, but he will need to be the only pet in the home. Other than this, Zippy walks very well on the lead, is house-trained, muzzle trained and extremely friendly with people.
 
If you think you can offer Zippy the home he so deserves, please contact the kennels on
01299 269 181. Thank you!

Meet Keeper!
 
 
 
 
Keeper
Mastiff Cross, Dog
Approx 3-4 Years
 
Keeper is a very loving boy who came to us from the Pound, so we do not know anything about his history. He is energetic and loves a big cuddle and a belly rub! Keeper does need firm handling to make sure that he doesn't get out of control and an owner that has experience of the breed is essential.
Here's what Keepers best-friend Lisa has to say:
 
"Keeper's appearance can be a little intimidating at first, however don't let that put you off. The secret is he is a bit of baby who has a lot of love to give. Keeper is happiest when running around in the woods, meeting lots of new friends and getting nice and muddy! He is good when meeting other dogs when out and could probably live with another well matched dog, although all he really wants is a cuddle and a tummy rub! He walks well on the lead and has a good recall when tested on a lunge rope. Keeper does sometimes get over excited and will need someone who knows how to set the boundaries. Keeper just needs that chance to prove what a star he can be."
 
If you think you can offer Keeper the home he deserves, please contact the kennels on
01299 269 181. Thank you.
