Oscar has come into us from a private home where he has been since a puppy, the reason for his rehome is that the owner was moving to a new property that didn’t allow pets. We have been told that he is mostly calm in the house but does like the odd crazy zoomy moment, he is housetrained , is crate trained (goes in when left and overnight), loves toys especially squeaky ones, in the garden he either likes a zoom round or sit in the sun and can be wary of some traffic (bikes/lorries/etc). He will chase cats so no little furries but he has been around/been fine with children from 4 year upwards.
His owner said a 5* home for him would be one with a nice garden to run around, one where he allowed all over the house, lots of playtime, walks and cuddles.
Our assessments have found that Oscar walks well on the lead, loves a tennis ball, always wagging his tail possibly being the happiest little dog we have on site, doesn’t show his age as he is still full of beans, hasn’t been reactive at all with other dogs – he met Peggy a young JRT who is quite full on he was ignorant to start the walk then gradually became more interested having a sniff and walking with her nicely, he loves his fuss and the first thing he does when let off in the playpen is try and get on your lap for a cuddle – overall he is a lovely little boy!
Sweet Sheeba is sadly back with us and searching once again for her perfect forever home. She first arrived as a stray in November and waited patiently for months before finally finding a home. Sadly, things didn’t work out due to her getting into her owners sheep, so she’s been returned to us as a precaution in case she got in with neighbouring livestock.
There’s so much to love about this gorgeous girl. Her previous owners describe her as fully housetrained, happy to be left alone for up to four hours, and wonderful with people. She absolutely adores her toys and is a true foodie—so you’ll want to keep any unattended snacks safely out of reach!
Sheeba has been attending training classes and has made great progress. She knows her basic commands, her recall is improving, and she’s become much better at meeting other dogs, though she may still bark at the occasional one close to home. On the lead, she walks nicely and is comfortable wearing her Dogmatic headcollar.
An active home would suit Sheeba perfectly, as she loves getting out and about on her walks and exploring the world around her.
Sheeba is an affectionate girl who simply needs the right environment to thrive. She would be happiest as the only pet in the home, where she can continue her training and enjoy all the love and attention she truly deserves.
Cardi is unfortunately looking for a new home as her owners declining health mean that she isn't getting the walks and time she needs, so hopefully we can find her a nice retirement home!
As Cardi has never been in kennels before her owner is keeping her at home so she doesn't have to endure the stress of kennels but she has come up to us for her assessment which she flew through.
When Cardi came up to the kennels she was super happy to greet everyone and absolutely loved all the fuss she could get, she walked well on the lead, came back to her name in the playpen and enjoyed getting all the sniffs she could sniff!
We have been told that she is super chill in the home opting to snooze her days away though she can be playful at times and will bark to let you know, after a quick tuggy game or play with her favourite bone she then gets back on the sofa to resume her nap. Cardi is housetrained, fine to be left on her own, travels well, does love her walks, knows her basic commands (though only usually obeys if there is treat bribery!) and loves her fuss. She is great with people, if anyone enters the house she quickly goes off to retrieve her favourite bone to show them!
We are looking for a dog free home for Cardi as she's never lived with dogs nor has she had much to do with other dogs, she does live with cats but can be quite boisterous when she wants them to play.
Cardi needs a home where she can start her weight loss program as she is in need of loosing a fair few pounds but hopefully with regular gentle walks gradually building up she will trim down and be able to enjoy longer walks.
Overall Cardi is a big cuddle monkey who just needs a home to love her, give her the fuss she craves and get her out enjoying walks!
This little firecracker has found her way into rescue due to her older owners not being able to cope with her. Unfortunately due to family circumstances she has led a very sheltered life so far so will need some training and socialising although she has really come on in the short time we have had her. She is very eager to please but does get distracted with everything going on around her as it's all a brand new world that she hasn't really seen before.
She is pretty high energy combined with puppy like behaviour so she can be a little mouthy if excited and everything is a fun game. Although she hasn't been in contact with many, if any dogs, she has walked around the fields with our other residents, she just needs a little help with her social skills but no aggression in her whatsoever.
She would love an active family that is willing to put in the work and training and she will make a fantastic all rounder. She may be a little too much for young children so either adult only home or older kids. Never been around cats and unfortunately we can't test here so no little furries.
Poor Minty is back with us and looking for another new home 🙁 Minty came into us back in November, he had painful cherry eye which was operated on to rectify (which thankfully worked!) he then waited patiently in kennels for several months until he found a foster home but sadly 2 weeks after being adopted by his foster home he was returned to us and he hasn't taken to being back in kennels well - bless him 🙁
Minty was returned due to problems within the home that resulted in them not being able to tackle due to time, space and ability but we are hopeful that with a home with ample space, large garden, plenty of walks and someone with Mastiff experience such problems will be easily overcome as he is such a lovely boy in every way!
Although he is a big boy on the whole he does walk well on the lead however he can be strong at times when he is keen for a particular sniff so he will need an owner that is physically capable of holding him should his nose get the better of him.
Minty is incredibly affectionate and loving, he loves a good chest scratch not to mention plenty of bum rubs and an abundance of kisses too! When he comes into the office as part of his daily constitutional he loves being showered with affection that is until the treats come out then food takes precedence!
His basic commands are there such as 'sit', 'paw' and 'wait', he is very food motivated so he can definitely broaden his knowledge with the help of a gravy bone or four!
We have found that he is good with dogs, mostly blatantly ignoring them though we do know he loves his home comforts, loves having the sofa to himself and most of all having all the attention on him so we think he would be best as an only dog in the home.
In the playpen it's a toss up if he's going to have zoomies or a sniffari just depends on how the mood takes him, when he is excited he can jump up and can also mouthe though it doesn't last very long he is learning this isn't acceptable and he's too big for puppy play however this may need to be continued in his new home. As he has no idea of his own size or weight we'd suggest no small children, he's nearly knocked adults over when he's running around and misjudging a corner almost wiping you out - so we don't want any accidental injuries.
Minty will need an active home where he can get plenty of walks, he would love someone around a lot and someone to commit time to further his training - we have no doubt he will make an incredible dog for someone!
Beautiful DOLLY, this absolute babe is now looking for her furever family. Dolly is around 2yrs old and a real cuddle monster.
She has come into us from another rescue so no history is known. Since arriving here with us she has been golden and hasn't put a paw out of place. She did go out briefly but unfortunately she exhibited behaviour that was not suited to the home and she really didn't cope or adapt well. We have since done more work and exposure with her and feel she is ready to try again in the right home and environment
She hasn't done much lead walking here as she had a little graze on her paw when she came in so was on limited walking and was super good when popping a little wound powder on it bless her. Unfortunately she then developed a little cough so has been restricted over the last week to meeting new dogs and going out and about.
Through all of this she has not changed one bit of her attitude or temperament she is such a super happy cuddly girl.
Now Dolly's foot is much better she definitely enjoys her zoomies and playing with toys and you can see her fun loving cheeky side is emerging.
From what we've seen she walks really well on the lead so far and she loves the dogs she has met before she was isolated due to her cough.
Dolly would love to be a big lap dog if she had the chance (maybe a little too portly.......sshhhh don't tell her she's been on a diet she doesn't know) when not running around with the zoomies. She has the most super loving nature and will make a wonderful family dog.
Toby is looking for a very special home where he can feel safe, understood, and truly settled.
He’s a sensitive boy who finds meeting new people difficult, so he will need a calm, quiet home with minimal visitors and a patient adopter who can give him the time and space he needs to build trust at his own pace.
Toby was rehomed from us several years ago, his owners were committed to his training but sadly things became too much and full details will be given to those interest in rehoming him.
Once you’re in Toby’s circle, you’re there for life. He forms incredibly strong bonds and is such a loving, affectionate boy — he adores sitting on your lap, giving kisses, and rolling over for tummy rubs.
Although Toby will happily walk around with other dogs he does have a personal bubble so would need to be the only dog in the home. He walks so well on the lead and already knows some great commands including sit, down, and even spin 🐾
We will be looking for an owner to advocate for him to keep him safe, he needs to be put in situations to succeed and not to fail as such he will need a quiet home and enjoy walks in quieter places where he won't be approached by strangers wanting to say hello to him irrelevant of how super cute he is.
Toby just needs someone willing to see past his worries and give him the chance he deserves — and in return, you’ll gain the most loyal best friend.
If you think you could offer Toby the quiet, understanding home he needs, please get in touch.
Meet our handsome boy Ross who has come into us from another charity with no history, he has completed all of his assessments so it's next stop, forever home! 😀
Ross will thrive in a very active home where he can enjoy plenty of walks and activities to keep his sharp collie mind busy. He walks nicely on the lead when using a figure of 8 headcollar and very much enjoys getting out and about to explore, so a home with plenty of walks and adventures will be a must.
He does enjoy a game of ball in the playpen and will happily chase it… bringing it back, however, is still a work in progress! 😄
Ross can be cuddly and affectionate, but he’s also an independent boy who sometimes thinks there are more exciting things to do than sit still for too long. What he really needs is a home that understands collies and can give him a purpose or a job to do, where his intelligence and energy can really shine.
Ross would prefer to be the only dog in the home. He’s not one for close-up socialising and is much happier doing his own thing rather than sharing his space with other dogs.
With the right person, Ross has so much potential and will make a fantastic companion. He is learning new tricks and having a bask at agility to try to keep his mind occupied while waiting for his furever family to find him
If you think you could offer Ross the active, understanding home he deserves, please get in touch!
