Dylan is a gorgeous, gentle boy who has come into our care from another rescue with no history, so we don’t know much about his life before arriving with us. What we do know is that he has absolutely flown through his assessment and is now ready to find the loving forever home he deserves!
Dylan is a very friendly boy, although he can be a little shy when meeting new people. Give him a few minutes, a little patience and, ideally, a tasty treat, and he soon realises that you’re just a new friend he hasn’t met yet. Once Dylan knows you, prepare yourself — you’ll have a new best friend for life! He absolutely loves being around his people and is very affectionate once he feels comfortable.
He walks well on the lead and is a young dog so we’re looking for an active home where he can enjoy plenty of walks, adventures and new experiences with his forever family.
Dylan also seems to be good with other dogs. He isn’t particularly keen on dogs who are a little too enthusiastic and want to jump all over him, so he would probably prefer a calmer, more polite canine companion. He could potentially live with another dog, providing their temperaments are a good match. Sadly, Dylan’s best friend here, Fleur, has now found her forever home, so we will have to find him a new walking buddy.
We feel Dylan would benefit from a quieter home environment, particularly while he builds his confidence and settles into his new life. He doesn’t need someone to wrap him in cotton wool — just a patient family who understands that he may need a little time to find his feet and learn that new people and situations aren't anything to worry about.
Dylan would also benefit from some training classes to help him brush up on his basic commands and obedience. Although getting him to sit at the moment is more luck than judgement, we’re sure he’ll get there with some positive training, tasty treats and a little consistency!
Above all, Dylan is a sweet, gentle and incredibly lovable boy. He may need a little time at first, but once he trusts you, he will be the most loyal dog. We really believe he is going to make an absolutely amazing companion for someone and can't wait to see him find the wonderful home he deserves.
Flynt is a gorgeous, incredibly friendly boy who has come into our care from another rescue. Sadly, he arrived with no history, so we don’t know much about his life before coming to us. What we do know is that Flynt is now ready to find the loving forever home he so deserves.
Flynt is super, super friendly and absolutely adores people. In his eyes, you are quite simply the best thing in the world! He wants to be with you as much as possible and would happily spend his days by your side, soaking up attention and affection. He is also very generous with his kisses — although be prepared, he doesn’t mind whether he’s kissing your face or your legs!
As you might expect from such an enthusiastic boy, Flynt can get a little overexcited when meeting people and does jump up for attention. He will need his new family to help him learn that paws belong on the floor when he’s getting fuss and attention. His jumping can also result in accidental scratches, so for this reason we feel he would be best suited to a home without children under 10 years old.
Flynt’s lead walking has already started to improve with us. It is very clear that he hasn’t had much, if any, experience of being walked on a lead before, so his new family will need to continue working with him and helping him build his confidence and skills. He is a really good boy and we’re sure that with patience, consistency and plenty of positive reinforcement, he will continue to make great progress.
Flynt would also really benefit from attending training classes with his new family to help him learn his basic commands and improve his general obedience.
In the playpen, Flynt enjoys chasing toys, although he’s not quite worked out what he’s supposed to do once he gets them! Once he's had a sniff, a mooch and run around he is straigh back to you for cuddles galore!
Flynt is a lovely, affectionate and enthusiastic boy who has so much potential. He is looking for a family who will give him the time, patience, structure and training he needs, while also giving him all the love and companionship he clearly craves.
This gorgeous boy is another ex racing Greyhound that we have taken on from the race track. He is certainly loving the retired life and spends his day snoozing in his bed. He gets excited when it is walk time now but as soon as you are out he walks like a dream until he get a sniff of something in the hedge then he can pull a little towards it. In the playpen he has a mooch about, not really seen any zoomies yet but will have a little play with a tuggie toy and very interested in a squeaky toy but doesn't quite know what to do with it yet 🙂
Fusses and cuddles are somewhat foreign to him but he is coming around to the fact that he may actually like them and he has been enjoying being brushed now which he was unsure of at first. He is quite an independent pup and will happily take himself and do his own little thing but the longer he has been here the more he is beginning to interact.
Captain has walked around with other dogs here, mainly ignoring them although we have found that he does like to be in his own bubble and doesn't appreciate dogs too close. His body language indicates that he is nervous around them and a little uncomfortable so would probably be better being an only dog or with another Greyhound as that is all he has ever known.
Older children as we think he would be uncomfortable with smaller ones running around and no small furries
Blakey came into us as his owner unfortunately passed away and there was no-one to take care of him 🙁
He is an absolute pocket rocket and the only training he has ever had is sit and down. This boy will be a challenge we can't lie. His leadwork is improving but still a work in progress - give him an inch and he will definitely take a mile! Although he is super friendly (too much so) with people this hasn't been the case with other dogs - it is more a case of shout and react first. It is clear that he has had no socialisation whatsoever so we have had to start from scratch - he isn't a foodie so this has been a tough one.
Loves his zoomies in the playpen, will chase after toys but gets very easily distracted by anything! It is like he is seeing things for the first time and doesn't quite know what to see and do first. He will need quite a specific home - one with terrier experience, very active and people with time to put into his training. No dogs or furries for this little chap and older children due to his lack of manners.
We know he is going to be a difficult rehome but we have to try!
Roxy is looking for a new home and will remain with her current owners while we search for the right match. This allows her to avoid the stress of going into kennels, which we feel is the best option for her.
She is being rehomed through no fault of her own. Her owners have made the difficult decision that they are no longer able to meet her needs, so we are looking for someone who can offer her the time, patience and understanding she deserves.
We know finding Roxy the right home won't be easy, but we also know there is someone out there who will be the right fit.
Roxy has a history of abuse before coming to her current home, and this has left her very wary of men. She will take time to build trust with any male in the home, and introductions will need to be slow and managed. Her current owners have made good progress with her confidence, but this will need to continue in her new home. She will also need access to a safe, quiet space when visitors come to the house, particularly men.
In the home, Roxy is calm and quiet. She enjoys fuss and cuddles from the people she knows and is happy relaxing with her family. She loves her walks and can be excitable at the start, but soon settles. She also enjoys being in the water and knows her basic commands.
Roxy currently lives with another dog, is gentle with the resident cat and has lived with teenage children.
She does struggle when left home alone and will need owners who are around for much of the day initially and are prepared to work on this over time. Travelling is another area where she lacks confidence, although she has been on trips with her current family and can travel with support.
We are looking for a patient home that understands nervous dogs and is prepared to let Roxy settle at her own pace. She has plenty to offer the right family, but she will need people who accept her for who she is and are willing to continue building her confidence.
If you think you could offer Roxy the home she needs, please get in touch.
Our gorgeous Barney is on the lookout for the loving forever home he's always deserved. We know Barney has had a very difficult start in life, he then found himself in another rescue where, despite waiting patiently, he just wasn't having any luck finding a family so we were asked if we could help - how could we say no!?
On first meeting Barney can be a little shy and unsure but it doesn't take too long until his wiggly tail & whole body start wagging! He is the sweetest, most affectionate boy who absolutely adores fuss, cuddles and being close to his people. More than anything, Barney simply wants to be loved.
He's walking really well on the lead and has recently been introduced to a Gencon, which he's taken to really well though he will benefit from a little continued work in his new home, but he's already making fantastic progress.
Once Barney gets into the playpen, his playful side really comes out! He absolutely loves a good zoom around, although watching him can be like watching Bambi on ice, with legs flying everywhere and not always knowing where they're supposed to go! He really is a puppy in an adult dog's body, and it's impossible not to smile watching him. He's also discovering the joy of toys, he loves a game of tuggy and when you go into his kennel and he proudly picks up a toy to bring over to you - SO cute!
Barney is still working on his manners though he does know 'sit' & 'paw'! At the moment everything is so exciting that he can't help but jump up to ask for a cuddle. With some training he'll soon learn that all four paws on the floor still earn him plenty of fuss.
He's great with other dogs and has become best friends with our lovely Reggie, he could potentially live with another dog provided temperaments suit but he would be entirely happy as an only dog with all the TLC, attention and treats all for him!
Barney truly is a special boy. After everything he's been through, he deserves a life filled with love and happiness. He's missed out on so much, and we'd love nothing more than to see him finally experience all the wonderful things every dog should have—a family to call his own, sofa snuggles, adventures and to be loved.
Courtney has recently arrived into our care as a stray, so sadly we have no background history for her. What we do know already is that she’s a bright, friendly, people-loving girl with a big personality and plenty of enthusiasm for life.
Courtney is extremely friendly and loves meeting new people though she can sometimes forget her manners and jump up say hello so she will need to learn some manners so she doesn't flatten everyone she meets.
In the playpen she does seem to have good recall and will come back when called, however if she spots or hears someone she knows, she may try to make a beeline for them. Because of this she will need secure fencing in her new home. We have found that she isn’t particularly toy-driven, though she does enjoy a good game of tuggy and will occasionally join in with a game of ball when the mood takes her.
On the lead, Courtney walks pretty well certainly not one to pull your arm off but she hasn’t quite mastered loose lead walking yet so this will need a bit of work. She will be a great candidate for training classes where she can continue to work on her lead walking, manners and obedience - she can and will 'sit' but it doesn't last for very long before her bum starts wiggling and she is back up.
We have found her to be great with other dogs, she has met plenty since being her and always happy to say hello, not even minding being bounced on by Bingo though she is far more interested in the other dogs handler and happily barges past the dog to say hello to their human!
Due to her enthusiasm, and tendency to jump up when excited, Courtney may be better suited to a home without small children, as she could accidentally knock them over in her eagerness to say hello.
We will be looking for an active home, she does have an abundance of energy and would love to fill her days with adventures, time in the garden and cuddles with her new family.. we certainly think she would be up for camping and hiking trips!
Courtney is a cheerful, affectionate girl who just wants to be everyone’s friend. With some consistent training, structure, and plenty of patience, she will blossom into a wonderful companion.
Floyd came into our care through the stray pound, so we know very little about his life before arriving with us. The only piece of history we have is that he previously lived with three other dogs, and from what we've seen, he's a friendly lad who enjoys the company of other dogs.
It's safe to say Floyd embraces life at full speed and certainly full of the joys of spring every single day! He's an incredibly friendly, affectionate boy who loves being around people and is always ready to make new friend's.
Floyd hasn't had much training, he is still learning the basics and training will need to be continued in his new home. He's a strong boy on the lead, can get very excited and does have a tendency to jump up, so he'll need owners who are willing to continue his training and help him channel all that excitement into good manners. He is a clever boy and loves his treats so dog training classes will certainly help him get up to speed with everything.
When Floyd gets into the playpen, it's time for the zoomies! He races around at 100mph, although he's completely unaware of where his legs are going or where you are, so that added with a lack of breaks you do need to keep an eye on where he is! Due to his boisterous nature and lack of manners we would suggest a home with older or no children so he doesn't accidentally injure or knock over small humans!
Floyd is looking for a home that can match his energy levels. He'll need an active family who can provide plenty of exercise, mental stimulation and ongoing training to help him become more well rounded. We are also looking for a home where someone is around for much of the day, as he loves human company and we don't think he would cope being left long periods.
Floyd is a wonderful, fun-loving dog who just need the right home to help him shine and there will be no doubt he will make an excellent family dog!
MACS is looking for a new home due to family circumstances meaning he isn't get the time or attention he needs. On assessment the staff member said he was one of the easiest dogs she has assessed in a long time!
We did manage to find him a home however, he has since returned to our care. During the settling-in period, he reacted when being handled while having flea treatment applied and when being moved by his collar whilst wearing a pair of leather gauntlets!!! (yes you did read that correctly), which is understandable given the stress of a new environment, new people, and unfamiliar routines. Aside from this, he has shown himself to be a lovely, affectionate boy who enjoys companionship and has so much to offer.
He was returned to the kennels and is unfortunately really struggling - when anxious or stressed he is a spinner and he hasn't really stopped since coming in. It really is heartbreaking to see and despite our best efforts he is not getting any better so we are struggling to see the real Macs.
Macs is a friendly and loving lad who has a typical collie brain. He loves to be doing something whether that is going on adventures or playing with toys. He is good with other dogs pretty much ignoring their existence but has never lived with another dog and his owners would prefer him to be the only dog in the home if possible.
Macs can get a little anxious especially in built up areas due the traffic and hustle and bustle. He would much prefer a rural setting with fewer visitors - just a calm and peaceful environment with adults only. He is not cat tested.
Macs had to have surgery when he was 7 months old and can stiffen up if he has too much exercise so although he would love go on all day hikes this wouldn't be advisable. Saying that he is still up for longish walks and limited ball playing - he has been seen by a vet on a continuous basis and they have no concerns.
He would benefit from an owner who is patient, willing to take the time to build trust, and able to read and respect his body language as he adjusts. With understanding and consistency, we believe he will make a wonderful companion.
