Izzy

Izzy is looking for her happy ever after! This lovely lady came to us from the stray pound where her future was uncertain so we can't wait to find her a home where she can finally put her paws up and enjoy the life she deserves.

When Izzy first arrived she had a worrying lump in her mouth, we got her up to the vets and they wanted removed ASAP. After some grueling days of waiting and worrying, we finally received the fabulous news that the lump was just an aggravated ulcer! Izzy was given the all clear, she has now healed and is ready to put all of that behind her and start her next chapter.

On the lead, Izzy is an absolute dream! She walks beautifully by your side, rarely pulling and happily pottering along, simply enjoying her time out with you. She's the perfect little walking companion for anyone who enjoys a leisurely stroll with a lovely four-legged friend beside them.

On the whole, Izzy is a pretty calm girl, but she does have her excitable moments too! The more excited you get with her, the more she reciprocates, and when that excitement gets the better of her, she can become mouthy. However, she's very easy to calm back down, and there really isn't a bad bone in this girl's body. She's simply full of enthusiasm, happiness and a very waggy tail!

Izzy has been walked alongside other dogs and has been absolutely golden. In fact, she's largely been quite happy to ignore their existence and potter along doing her own thing! That said, we feel this older lady would be happiest as the only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the love, fuss and attention for herself. After all, she's an older girl who deserves to be thoroughly spoilt!

Sadly, Izzy is really struggling with kennel life, and she's certainly not afraid to let us know about it! The longer she stays with us, the more unhappy she's becoming, and it breaks our hearts to see her feeling this way. We desperately want her to experience the comforts of home life again, with a cosy bed to snooze on, lovely walks to look forward to and a family who will adore her just as much as she'll adore them.

Indy

Meet INDY our newest handsome ex racer.
Indy is 7 years old and has unfortunately spent the last 3 years in kennels since he retired from racing. So in the last 7 years he has never known the comfort and security of a loving home. He is a little rough around the edges as you will see by his pictures, he's on the skinny side and has fur missing left, right and centre. We are working on this, he's having 3 meals a day and once he's settled in his forever home it shouldn't be long before his coat is looking better.
Indy has become far more settled now he's been with us for a few weeks. Not so stressed like he was when he arrived. He walks really well on the lead and has walked around nicely with other Greyhounds and Lurchers whilst here on site. Due to him being in racing kennels for the last 7 years he hasn't had much interaction or socialisation with other breeds.
This guy although having retired 3 yrs ago is still very switched on to his sight hound instincts.....that means no small furrys (dogs or any other varieties) Even though he walks beautifully he's still very twitchy when seeing things like squirrels as he will definitely want to chase!! Whoops.
Indy's affectionate side has really shown itself now, he loves a fuss and likes to be close to you even when off lead in the playpen. His loving side is showing through in abundance.......as is his penchant for treats....... Definitely a foodie!!
He's a playful dude too, loves to run around with toys and chase, he also brings them back.....top marks Indy!
 
If you can given Indy his first ever home and let him feel that security of a loving owner by his side please email the kennels for an application

Bella

BELLA  has found herself in rescue due to the sudden loss of her owner so she is going through a lot at the moment bless her.

She has now finished her assessment and we have found her to be utterly adorable. She is super friendly, loves snuggles and any fuss she can get. Although she can be strong on the lead she is walking really well on a headcollar and getting better every day. Loves balls - will chase but hasn't quite got the concept of bringing it back - would rather run off with it and destroy it.

Loves her treats and is so gentle taking them. She has lived with children of all ages and is very calm and chilled out in the home. She is housetrained, travels well and loves going on family holidays.

She doesn't really bother with other dogs when out and about but she will need a pet free home as according to her previous owner she can guard high value items but ONLY with other dogs.

Bella isn't really enjoying her stay with us and would love nothing more than finding her furever family with a nice comfy sofa 🙂

Bertha

Bertha has unfortunately come into rescue from a private home due to a change in her devastated owners circumstances where there was no way that they could keep her. She is struggling in a kennel environment and we know that we are not seeing her true personality due to her being so stressed here 😭
According to her owners she is pretty chilled out in the home, great traveller and has been on loads of holidays. She is housetrained and knows her basic commands although recall is a bit 50/50 🤣
She has lived with other dogs previously and is interested in other dogs if they are friendly towards her. Loves people and more than happy to have fusses and tummy rubs if they on offer! Not good with small fluffies such as cats and squirrels as she will chase but is great with children. She loves a game of tug and will chase a ball (but we haven't seen much of this bless her ☹️)
Bertha would love to be a part of a family with someone around a lot, although she can be left for a few hours there has always been another dog in the home with her for company. She will need a little work on the lead as she can pull a bit but this does get better the more she is out.

Marshall

Marshall has come to us from another rescue after originally being found as a stray, and he’s now looking for a home that can offer him the balance of activity and calm that suits him best.
We did manage to find Marshall a home however he has sadly been returned to us, the decision was very heartbreaking for the owner but was best for both Marshall and his owner.
Marshall would thrive in a quieter household without the hustle and bustle of young children, where he can settle into a steady routine and continue building his confidence.
Out on walks, Marshall likes to get on with the job in hand and walks with plenty of purpose. He can be strong on the lead at times, but we’ve already started working with him and he is making good progress but is best on a halti head collar. He’s not the sort of dog who’ll want to conquer Snowdon every weekend, but equally he’ll need more than a quick stroll around the block to keep him happy. A home that enjoys regular walks and exploring would suit him perfectly.
Marshall isn’t currently a fan of other dogs, although the kennel environment certainly doesn’t help this. Because of this, he is looking for a dog-free home with a family who are willing to continue helping him build more positive associations with dogs out and about on walks.
Despite his purposeful nature outdoors, Marshall has a much calmer side too. In the playpen he prefers a gentle mooch and a good sniff around rather than tearing about like a headless chicken, although if you’re lucky you may occasionally see him break into a little trot. He can come across as quite aloof when out exploring, as he often has more important things on his agenda, but once he’s in the mood for affection he absolutely loves a fuss, a nice ear rub, and a good bum scratch.
Marshall is a lovely boy with lots of character who is looking for a patient new family willing to let him settle at his own pace and enjoy life

Eclipse

Meet the adorable but bonkers Eclipse who came into us from another rescue as a welfare case. She  Eclipse and her sibling had been kept in crates since puppies so missed out on all aspects of socialisation. Having said that she is actually a confident girl who just wants to get out on as many adventures as possible. She will be up for anything that is thrown her way and actually doesn't seem phased by anything.

She is learning to enjoy her fusses but is far more interested in investigating and sniffing. If the mood takes her she can be super playful and has decided that balls are her favourite toy if choice.

She has been good with other dogs, not interacted much as there are far more interesting things to do. Ideally she would benefit being an only dog so someone could devote all their time into her training. Older children and not cat tested. Her lead work is not the best in all honesty but she has never really been on one so she is actually doing really well and will make a fab all rounder 🙂

Cheddar

Say hello to Cheddar, our lovable 2–3-year-old lurcher with a huge personality and an even bigger zest for life!
Cheddar came into our care after being rescued from the stray pound, so unfortunately we have no information about his previous life. What we do know is that he's a happy, energetic boy who's ready to make up for lost time.
This handsome lad is a real firecracker, with boundless enthusiasm for life and a love of adventure. He absolutely adores people and believes everyone he meets deserves the biggest, most enthusiastic greeting possible! We're working on helping him channel that excitement.
Cheddar can walk nicely on the lead, but he's easily distracted – especially if there's something fascinating nearby... even a leaf blowing in the wind can steal his attention!
His favourite place is the playpen, where he can race around deciding which toy to play with first. Once he's made the all-important decision, he's more than happy to entertain himself with his chosen prize.
He is good with other dogs, although he can be very excitable when meeting them. He has not been cat tested and, due to his exuberant nature, we're looking for a home young children.
Cheddar is dreaming of an active family to go on plenty of adventures, get some training and find his spot on the sofa!
