Cali is unfortunately looking for a new home through no fault of her own but as we are full at the kennels we're hoping we can find her a lovely new home whilst we wait for a kennel to become available and even better.. before she has to come into kennels - paws crossed!
We had Cali up for an assessment and we just found her to be the sweetest friendly girl you could wish for! She walked well on the lead, great with all people she met, wasn't phased or really interested in other dogs, came back to us in the playpen, LOVED the fuss she got and was just a pleasure!
Her owner has told us that she is ok to be left for a few hours (any longer and she can tend to have a chew on things that shouldn't be chewed so may need some work on leaving her), loves her toys (particularly balls, teddy's, tuggy's and balloons!), she does travel well but can be a bit car sick on longer journeys, she loves her walks, has a very good level of obedience, good with other dogs, good with children, loves cuddles and closeness... but is not a fan of the bath! π
Cali would love a family home where she has her own garden, lots of company, plenty of walks and playtime.. also she's told us that she would also like lots of treats too!
Overall Cali would make a fabulous family dog for someone.. hopefully that family is out there looking for her now!! π
Reggie was originally rehomed from us back in 2019 however was returned to us at the end of 2025, to say Reggie struggled with the abrupt move to kennels is an understatement, bless him but hopefully he won't be here too long and he can forget his kennel stay ever happened when he finds his forever home!
We initially helped rehomed Reggie in lockdown where his elderly owner was unable to give him all the exercise and everything he needed. Reggie has been in the same home since 2019 but as he was struggling with the new baby, who is now crawling so he has come back to us to find a new home. It's taken a fair few weeks for Reggie to settle though he is still quite bewildered π
We will start off with the positives in that Reggie is a beautiful natured, sweet and gentle boy who is exceptionally cuddly and loving with people, he is definitely the type of dog to get comfy with on the sofa after a long day and enjoy an evening watching TV together!
In the playpen he doesn't really play with toys but he will have zoomies before coming back to you for fuss! Reggie isn't likely to be a dog you could let off lead in unsecure/populated areas but if you have a good garden or a secure field to rent nearby then he will be happy as Larry!
Due to the reasons of his return and his age bless him, we will be looking for a home with no children, he doesn't need that kind of stress or worry, he just wants an easy life with a human or two to love him!
Unfortunately Reggie doesn't get on with other dogs up close, he is fine walking round fields with dogs in the distance but can, also depending on the other dog's reaction/temperament, be reactive and become stressed with dog in closer proximity. He will need a home to either work with him to be comfortable with closer interactions or not put him in a position to fail and give him every opportunity to succeed keeping him safe by avoiding, the latter is what he is accustom to in his previous home.
On the lead he is walking so much better on a Gencon head collar, he may well need an owner who is physically strong enough to hold him should he decide to pull as he is a big dog and as such can be strong but on the whole he does walk really well.
In an ideal world Reggie would love a home with as little stress as possible, nice relaxed environment, lots of fuss, plenty of walks and space and someone to love him... we are hoping we can find that or as close to it so Reggie can find his happiness again.
Izzy originally came into us from the stray pound where her days were sadly numbered but all that changed when we offered her a place with us, now she has passed all of her assessments and been given the green light to find herself a forever home!!
So we will start with Izzy's one and only negative... she can be very strong on the lead, she is a big girl at nearly 40kg and she has no idea of her own strength or size without even trying, even when she leans for a sniff it's sometimes difficult to not be taken along with her! We have started working really hard with her to tackle this and she has shown improvements but she will need further work and someone physically able enough to hold on to her.
Now for all her many positives... she has a gorgeous personality and is allllll about people, she loves everyone, loves fuss, loves cuddles and also loves to sit in front of you looking lovingly into your eyes whilst you stroke her and scratch her neck.
In the playpen she does love a good zoomy and it seems her favourite toys are balls which she loves running round with.. retrieving and bringing them back not so much π
Izzy loves her food so this has helped with her training... gravy bone or even better hot dog are definitely the way to her heart and concentration!
We have walked her round with other dogs and she hasn't put a paw out of place, vastly being completely disinterested often just walking away! We don't think she wants to really live with another dog, we think she would much prefer to be the main pampered princess of the house and receiver of all of the fuss (and food)!
With some training to tackle that lead work and get her up to scratch with all of her basic commands she will make someone and amazing, loyal family dog!
Beautiful little Yoko is now ready to find her forever home. She is a gorgeous girl who has come in to us from another rescue so no prior history is known.
Yoko can be a little nervous at first so it's gently does it until she knows you. She has made huge improvements on this since she's been here and now also goes out with the occasional volunteer walker. πΎ
We did manage to find her a home however very sadly this hasn't worked out so she has come back to us as she was struggling with some environmental factors in the settling in phase which couldn't be rectified.
Her walking has improved too and she absolutely loves a good old sniff. A loose lead and plenty of encouragement is what she needs.
She is such a sweet little girl who loves fuss and comes running up to you in the playpen. She doesn't really play with toys or know what to do with them. That may develop over time but at the moment she prefers sniffing or having the hoolies and zoomiesπ
Yoko prefers dogs of a similar size or smaller than her. She is quite intimidated with bigger dogs and can pick and choose who she likes. She would be happy as an only dog getting all the attention first hand. We would consider her going with another dog if temperaments suit.
She is quite a sensitive little soul who can get a bit flinchy with loud noises or sudden movements. It is improving slightly as she gets used to her environment and grows in confidence but she will need gentle encouragement with this and time and patience to feel more confident. For this reason we are looking for older or no children so she doesn't get too overwhelmed.
Yoko is a little star and once she is settled and feeling secure will make someone the most wonderful loving companion. A funny and loving girl who is ready for her forever family.
Meet our nervous little Nutmeg who is slowly becoming less of a nutmeg and more of a nutty Nutmeg... with people she knows. Nutmeg has arrived with a from another rescue where she came into us with no history so sadly we have no idea what has made her such a shy and retiring girl meeting new people but hopefully her new family will make that change for the better.
Once Nutmeg knows you she absolutely adores you and her cheeky, bit of looney side comes out - her zoomies in the playpen are quite spectacular and she gets super excited to see you however if she doesn't recognise you or hasn't met you before she can literally be a quivering wreck but we have to say even in her most fearful moments she has had the most genuine nature and wouldn't hurt a fly. As such she will need a quieter home but one active enough to keep up with her as she does have a fair amount of energy, loves to run about and no doubt she will be up for lots of adventures!
On the lead she does walk well although at times can be guided by her nose at the detriment of her loose lead, but once in check she will stroll by your side without a fuss.
We have found she gets along great with other dogs, provided they aren't too over top for her but she has shared her walks and said hello to a range of different dogs since being here and was a very very good girl with them all. She could live with another dog provided they are suitable match in energy and not to overpowering for her, it may also help her confidence to be with a assured brother or sister.
Overall Nutmeg is a beautiful girl with a beautiful personality, full of love ready for her new family to show her how good life can be!! π
This handsome fella Anton is looking for his forever home.
Anton is a 4 year old X racing Greyhound who finished racing back in July. He hasn't quite got the message yet that it's pipe and slippers time!Β
He is quite a lively boy full of spirit and still has a high prey drive so no small furries, cats or dogs for him.
Anton is a lovely boy who being a racer has never know the comforts of a loving home. He will need all aspects of training inc. lead work as he can be an excitable boy when mood takes him or he spots something that catches his eye. He won't be used to some of the sights and sounds of a normal home but it usually doesn't take long for Greyhounds to settle in.
He absolutely loves zoomies around the playpen and adores toys. When you go in his kennel the toys are always out and every single one is usually in his bed! He especially loves a squeaky they're the absolute best.
If you have the time and space in your life for this gorgeous boy along with an endless supply of squeaky toys and a comfy bed, he could be the perfect pooch for you.
Meet Rocky, Rocky has come into us as a stray and he is very much an overgrown puppy and thinks he is a pedigree Boxer with his boxing moves!
So we will start with the good bits! Rocky is exceptionally loving, super soppy and loves all the cuddles, fuss, kisses and attention he can get.
Since his arrival we have started getting used to walking on a Gencon headcollar which he now walks beautifully on rather than being towed along like an out of control towing caravan swerving behind him!
Rocky is good with dogs but he is extremely excited by them, therefore has no impulse control, manners or etiquette around them so this will need to be worked on in his new home to be calmer around them and understand that other dogs do not want to be jumped on, pounced or boxed and that's not how you make doggy friends.
Sadly he doesn't really know what toys are, we are slowly showing him what fun they are to play with - we have no doubt he will soon work it out and have a whale of a time chasing tennis balls.
Now on to the naughty side...
Rocky doesn't have a bad bone in him however he also doesn't understand no nor does he have any self control or manners so when he gets super excited in the playpen, jumping up, mouthing, using his paws to start a wrestling match and pulling at your clothing he can be very difficult to calm back down and control. We are working on this as best we can as we know it's not exactly a redeeming feature but it is very difficult to combat in kennels with all of his pent up energy and excitement so further work will need to be done.
Due to this and his lack of discipline we will be actively seeing out a home to take him along to some training/obedience classes, he does really want to please he just doesn't know how so hopefully we can find someone to help him!
We have no doubt that in a home, with time, patience, training and a firm but fair handler he will soon understand what is expected and how to behave properly like a good boy we know he can be!
Please welcome little Brook our pocket size crossbreed of English Bull Terrier, Corgi and whatever else that could be in there - we have no idea!!
Brook has come into us as a stray with no history so no idea where she has come from or what she's been up to in life so far but we are here to make sure her future is bright and full of everything she wants and needs!!
So we will start off with the negatives (if you can really call them that!), she has come full circle from shy and retiring to full of confidence and a bundle of energy... her leadwork is at the top of the improvement list as she is strong, does pull and quite literally all over the place however we have began working with her to accept a Gencon and there is already lots of improvement but likely work will still be needed in her new home.
Another area where some work does have to be done is other dogs, it's clear she's not been around them much as she is very interested in them and will walk even walk backwards to catch a glimpse at a passing dog, when she meets them more up close she does get very excited, over the top and certainly lacking in any kind of canine ettiquette so we feel that she might be best to be an only dog at least to begin with to allow her to learn what is acceptable in the dog world and what is not acceptable - otherwise she won't be making friends, just enemies bless her!
Lets get onto her redeeming features... she is SUPER friendly with people, loves cuddles and fuss galore, happy to share kisses all day long and will sit up on your lap for as long as you can tollerate her pokey paws on your thighs whilst she reaches up to give you a smooch or put her head on your shoulder.
You won't have a dull moment with her around if you have toys and a garden, she is so much fun and even funnier to watch her zoomies at 100mph so we definitely think she needs her very own garden in her new home!
We'd probably say she would be better with older or no children as her enthusiasm sometimes is a bit too much for her to contain and as such does jump up, and although pint size she is solid so could quite easily knock little people over!
Overall Brook is a beautiful girl who just hasn't had the best start to set her up to be a well rounded adult however with a bit of training, a lot of love and a forever home she will definitely catch up and be an amazing dog for someone!! π
This poor boy has found his way into us due to the passing of his owner
Unfortunately Zeb got very protective over his dad and wouldn't allow carers to come into the home. A lot of work was done with him in order for people to enter the home and for a dog walker to take him out for walks. His whole world revolved around his dad and now his world has crashed around him. How could we not try for him.
Zeb has coped better than we thought in kennels and most of the staff can now walk him - once he likes you he loves you but slow & multiple introductions will be needed as he does suffer with "stranger danger".
He walks well on the lead though he will need work on strangers approaching him whilst on the lead, he is good with other dogs and his favourite toy is Mr Highland Cow
Looking for a patient and quiet home who can put a smile back on Zebs face.
