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.
Beautiful little Patti has come into us as a stray, so sadly we know nothing about her past. What we do know is that she's an incredibly affectionate little French Bulldog with so much love to give and she's now looking for her forever family who will make sure her future is filled with happiness... and plenty of cuddles!
Patti is an absolute sweetheart who adores people, she hasn't put a paw out of line since being here and we really don't have anything bad to say about her. One of her favourite things is to be picked up for a cuddle and snuggle her face into your neck just to be that little bit closer.
She walks lovely on the lead and does enjoy getting out and about, although she does have a bit of stubborn streak! Every now and then she'll decide she's walked quite enough, thank you very much, and will flop down on her back in the hope that you'll stop for a belly rub instead. Safe to say, Patti is probably looking for gentle strolls rather than mountain hikes!
Patti is incredibly neat and tidy in her kennel. She keeps everything spotless, and her toys remain in pristine condition, which makes us think she may never have learned how to play—or perhaps she's simply more interested in cuddles than toys.
She gets on well with other dogs and could potentially live with a calm, friendly canine brother or sister providing temperaments suit.
Patti would love a home where she won't be left alone for long and where someone is around to shower her with the attention she deserves. She would love to enjoy regular walks and adventures, but more importantly, she'll want to spend her evenings curled up on the sofa next to you, soaking up every cuddle she can get.
Patti would make the perfect addition to a family, though she may not know much about fetching toys or climbing mountains, she certainly makes up for it in affection.
Iggy arrived with us as a stray, so unfortunately we know nothing about his previous life. What we do know is that he's now passed all of his assessments and is more than ready to find a forever family who can keep up with his zest for life!
This little lad is always on the go, he is a busy bee who loves to explore, investigate and see what's going on. If you're looking for a dog who'll spend all day snoozing on your lap, Iggy isn't your man! He'll thrive in an active home where he can enjoy plenty of walks, adventures and opportunities to use both his legs and his busy brain.
Iggy will need someone willing to put in some training as he is lacking in manners, basic obedience and lead work. On the lead he's too interested in sniffing and getting there faster as such he can pull, we have started working on this but it will need to be continued into his new home. As he's still a young pup his excitement can get the better of him as such he has a habit of jumping up to say hello. He would definitely be one to attend training classes as he is a clever cookie - he loves his food to so a gravy bone will definitely help his motivation!
When it comes to other dogs, Iggy is happy to make friends with those who are friendly in return. He has canine friends here at the kennels and is always happy to say hello, but if another dog isn't friendly to him he will return the feelings. Because of this, he'd be happiest with a well-matched, dog-friendly companion who enjoys his playful energy, or equally as an only dog where he can enjoy plenty of one-to-one time and focus on his training.
Iggy is looking for a new family who are active enough to keep up with him and once all the sniffs have been sniffed, toys played with and all the fun is over he does love a fuss and cuddle!
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!
Millie and Buddy came into our care following the sad passing of their owner. Kind neighbours did all they could to look after them, popping in to feed them and spend time with them, but it wasn't a long-term solution. Now they're looking for a loving family who can keep them together and give them the happy future they deserve.
Millie is a 5-year-old Labrador, while Buddy is a 3-year-old Labrador cross, possibly with a little Spaniel in the mix. They arrived with us very overweight, but they are now on a low-fat diet (don't tell them!), more healthy treats and we are building their exercise up, they're already making fantastic progress on their weight-loss journey.
From the moment they arrived, they've been nothing but happy, waggy dogs who are loving their walks, opportunities to explore the fields and plenty of time in the playpen!
Their one downside is that they are terrible on the lead, they can both be very strong though we are working on this but they'll need owners who are happy to continue their lead work to get loose leads and not pull their owners all over the place. At the moment, they're a too much for one person to comfortably walk together, but with consistency and patience, there is no doubt they will improve.
Water is one of their favourite things in the world, closely followed by tennis balls and plenty of fuss from their favourite people! They're both incredibly affectionate and love being involved in whatever you're doing.
Buddy is the more confident of the two and is always first in line to greet new people, Millie can be a little more reserved when meeting someone for the first time, but she takes great confidence from Buddy and soon comes out of her shell to enjoy a good bum scratch.
They've lived happily together all their lives and have been friendly with other dogs while in our care, although they haven't shared their home with any others so ideally we are looking for a home where they can remain as a duo.
We're hoping to find a home that understands this lovely pair's needs and is committed to continuing their weight-loss journey. As they become fitter, they'll need an active lifestyle with plenty of walks, adventures and opportunities to explore, so they're looking for a family who can keep up with them and enjoy making lots of happy memories together.
If you have room in your home and your heart for two loyal, loving companions, Millie and Buddy are ready to start their next adventure with you!
Nellie came to us as a stray, and it's safe to say she hasn't had much guidance in life so far. She's a big, friendly girl with a lovely nature, but she's starting from scratch when it comes to training.
Since arriving with us she has been a happy, goofy, super friendly girl and you can't help but smile at her! Unfortunately, Nellie is completely unaware that she's a large dog. In her mind, she's roughly the size of a chihuahua and therefore perfectly entitled to try to climb into your lap, lean her full weight against you, jump up and invade your personal space whenever the mood takes her.
On the lead, Nellie can bounce, pull and treat walks as an exciting adventure but without distractions she can walk perfectly to heel with a loose lead but we are working on her walking perfect at all times. Basic commands are completely new to her too, and asking for a sit is usually met with a very puzzled expression. None of this is through any fault of her own—she simply hasn't been taught. Because of this, any potential home must be committed to continuing her training and attending classes to get her up to scratch with her manners and commands.
Nellie is an active dog who will need a home that can provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. She hasn't quite figured out what toys are for yet, but she makes her own entertainment by racing around the playpen at full speed, enjoying every second of it though the enjoyment may not extend to her handlers who often have to dive out of her way as she has no idea where she is running to or how to stop. For this reason, Nellie is looking for a home without young children, as she would undoubtedly knock them over without meaning to.
Despite her lack of manners, Nellie has a wonderful temperament. She's friendly, affectionate and always happy to meet new people. She is also good with other dogs who are themselves friendly but would be best in a home as an only dog to get all the 1-2-1 training and time she needs.
Nellie isn't a ready-made dog. She'll need time, patience and training, but beneath all the excitement is a lovely girl who just needs someone willing to show her the way.
Chip is ready to get out of kennels and start the new chapter of his life, he has recently arrived with us from another rescue but unfortunately we have no history about his past. What we do know is that he is a very sweet, inoffensive boy who will need a calm, patient and understanding owner to help him along.
Chip can be quite shy and nervous, especially around new people. He takes a little time to build trust, but he does get there. He does get worried with sudden movements and unexpected noises, so he will need a calm and supportive home where he can continue to grow in confidence at his own pace.
One thing that brings Chip out of his shell is other dogs. He absolutely adores canine company and seems to take great comfort from having a dog friend around, he walks so much better if he has a friend in tow. Because of this, we feel that a confident, friendly resident dog will be key to helping Chip settle and make progress in his new home and we are actively looking for a canine companion for him.
Chip is currently struggling in the kennel environment bless him, we certainly haven't seen his full personality however once he is in a loving home, with patient owners willing to give him the time he needs, we have no doubt that his personality will continue to blossom and that he will become a gorgeous, cheeky and affectionate boy.
Chip is looking for a family who can see past his worries and give him the chance he deserves.
Jack came into our care from another rescue, and unfortunately, we have no information about his past. What we do know is that this lovely lad has a bright future ahead of him and is ready to find a family to call his own.
When meeting new people, Jack can be a little nervous and unsure at first, he likes to take a moment but once he's ok he is your best friend! he really is a friendly, affectionate boy who absolutely loves being around his people, he'll happily soak up all the fuss and attention you're willing to give.
Jack is a happy dog who enjoys getting out and about, although his leadwork is still a work in progress as he can be a little erratic on walks at times, but with some continued training no doubt he will learn to walk on a loose lead. he can be a little worried around unfamiliar or sudden loud noises such as bangs/tarpaulin rustling so this may be something he needs to work on in his new home with the noises of the big wide world.
One thing Jack definitely love is other dogs, he is very sociable and would happily share his home with a canine friend who could help show him the ropes provided temperaments suit equally he would be just as happy being an only dog with friends to meet on walks.
Toys, however, remain a complete mystery to him! He hasn't quite worked out what they're for or why everyone seems so excited about them so hopefully his new family can show him but in the meantime he just enjoys a good run around and mooch in the playpen.
Jack is a sweet, happy boy who simply needs someone able to help him find his confidence and discover just how good life can be.
