Big boy Bailey has come into us from another rescue where he was signed over due to his owners ill health, hopefully we can be the ones to find him the most paw-fect fur-ever home!
The highest thing on Bailey's priority list is toys, his favourite is his yellow ball that he brought with him but he isn't fussy with the toys he likes - he loves them all and is happiest with one in his mouth!
At the moment Bailey is a little overweight so he is on a get fit regime which he is more than happy to be on board with as he loves his walks!! On the lead however he does pull but we are working with him to get him to understand that he doesn't have to tow his human but walk with them.
Bailey does have a good level of obedience he knows some of his basic commands such as 'sit' and 'paw' but we do think it would benefit him and his new owner to attend some dog training to get up to scratch, work on lead walking and use that clever noggin of his!
To begin with Bailey wasn't overly interactive with humans, being quite independent and more interested in his toys then have fuss but he is becoming more interested in fuss.
We've walked him round the fields and introduced him to other dogs and he's not fussed or phased by them so we think he'd prefer to be an only dog as he doesn't really look to interact with other dogs at all.
Meet the absolute dude that is Wolf, although unlike his name he isn't fierce or majestic instead he is instead super friendly, a bit of a clown and is scared of the ride on lawn mower so certainly not a namesake! π
Wolf has come into us from another rescue where he was put into the pound as his owners were emigrating so he has faced a lot of uncertainty but hopefully now we can promise him a life of stability!
On the lead he does walk well, mostly pottering by your side, rarely pulling, just enjoying his walkies! Whilst he wouldn't be a lover of climbing mountains everyday he is certainly an active boy who will need more than a pootle round the block.
Wolf is fab with people and absolutely loves his fuss, the more he can get the better and does all manner of yoga positions for you to get the right spots!
In the playpen he does love zoomies and loves to play! He loves a bit of rough play with a human but also loves to play with his toys and typical of the breed he is a bit of a vocal player!
We have found Wolf to be good with all dogs he meets, he can just be a bit over the top at times which can annoy some other dogs! We think he would be best in a home as an only dog and have dog friends to meet, walk with and play with out & about!
Overall Wolf would make a fab family dog!
Cassie is a beautiful young crossbreed girl who has arrived with us from another rescue where no history is known.
Cassie has the sweetest nature, she is a gorgeous friendly girl with just the softest fluffy fur.Β She would benefit from a good groom, wash a blow dry once she's settle and has her new families trust. She walks well on the lead more or less by your side but can jump about if she's excited. She will need the usual basics of training going forward which will be a lovely way to bond in her new home. Cassie came into us with a little cough so we haven't been able to do much mixing with other dogs. What we know of her is that she is generally great around other dogs.
Cassie is super fun in the playpen and loves nothing better than running round having mad zoomies. She hasn't quite grasped the concept of toys yet but We're sure that will come with time.
This Gorgeous gentle girl is ready to find her forever home.
Meet our super sweet boy Oscar who has come into us from another rescue with no history.
The first and only way to describe Oscar would be a gentle, calm beautiful natured boy who can be a little shy meeting new people but it doesn't take long for him to work out your ok π
On the lead he does walk well and is now even starting to play with toys in the playpen, even coming back to his name when called.
Oscar has been walked with and introduced to other dogs and he isn't phased by them, greets them with a waggy tail but if they are too much/excitable he can be a bit overwhelmed so he would be best as either an only dog or with a dog in equal nature to himself.
Overall Oscar is a gorgeous boy who would like a relatively quiet home, one where he can go on lots of lovely walks and sprawl out on the sofa at the end of the day with his human.
Meet Henry, our handsome dude who has come to us from the stray pound so we don't have any history on him πΒ Since he arrived we have got to know him and we think we know what type of fur-ever home he dreams of!
On the lead he can be very strong however we have introduced him to a Gencon and he now walks lovely by your side!
Henry loves his fuss and is a very affectionate boy, he loves meeting new people and his tail is always wagging!
In his new home he would quite like lots of toys as he loves every toy he can find or is given, he always empties his toybox one by one taking them to his bed and sits proudly with them all by his side! :D... his favourite toy this weeks is his hotdog toy!
We've found that he is moderate energy level, he would quite happily accompany you on a long walk up the Malvern hills but would be equally happy with a stroll around the fields.
In the playpen he might have a bit of a blast, a good sniff and will chase toys but doesn't tend to give them back to you, instead preferring to walk around with them.
Out and about Henry isn't fussed or remotely bothered about other dogs, much prefers to keep himself to himself so we do think he would prefer being the only dog in the home.
Meet Odin this handsome boy who is approx 5yrs old is now looking for his forever home. He is approx the size of a large whippet or a small lurcher.
Odin has come into us as a stray so no history is known. He is a friendly energetic boy who loves to meet everyone he sees.
He can be quite strong on the lead but can walk well given the right corrections and will settle once into the walk. He loves to sniff and mooch about in all the bushes and hedgerows and is always inquisitive.
He has the odd zoomie and run round in the play pen but it always comes back to the good sniffs! He seems to like all the dogs he's been in contact with here on his walks.
Odin does love a fuss but on the same hand he's not keen on being over handled. For this reason no kids or older kids please.
He was a super good boy at his recent trip to the vets to have his first vaccination and his little op

Handsome boy MERLE has come in to us from a private home through no fault of his own. Full details will be given to those interested in rehoming him. He has now been assessed and we feel it's time he started his next chapter.
We did manage to find him a home however once in the home environment it became clear that he didn't wish to share his home with another dog so the decision was made to return him so we are now looking for a dog free home.
Merle is a super friendly boy. A real cuddly, fuss pot who loves human company and attention. Initially on first meeting strangers he can be a little nervous until he knows you, once he does he's your best friend.
He can be a little strong and excitable on the lead at times but is better walking on his Halti head collar which he has always been used to. He has a good level of obedience with the basics but there's always room for improvement and would encourage his new home to continue with training classes. This always helps to build a lovely bond too.
Merle loves nothing better than zoomies off lead in the playpen and chasing toys although doesn't always bring them back bless him!! He will want lots of lovely walks out and about in open spaces seeing what the big wide world has to offer. We have been told he can be nervous around traffic so may need a little work building his confidence with that.
His previous owners have mentioned he can bark at other dogs but that he also had a Staffy friend who he was great with. We haven't found any issues with his behaviour towards other dogs here! He hasn't put a paw out of place. He's met lots of dogs here and behaved politely and well mannered at all times. We've found Merle is much more interested in his handler.
Merles 5 star home would be one with a large garden for all his zoomies and a family who can take him on lots of outdoor adventures.
This super handsome boy has come into us as an emergency back up due to another charity not being in a position to have him back, sadly they still aren't so we have made the decision to keep him so he has become part of the FDR gang! We have taken the time to assess him and we can now say we know him well enough to find him the paw-fect home so he hopefully never has to face kennels or be up for rehoming ever again!
The reason for him needing our help is that his female owner was finding him increasingly difficult to deal with in the home, he was definitely taking advantage and getting dominant, no malice other than some heavy mouthing and lots of jumping up but nonetheless they no longer felt able to look after him and provide the training he needs. We have found him to display similar acts of trying it on here however if you are firm, give clear commands and don't back down he does respect this and desists i.e. if he starts jumping up and biting the lead, he responds with a firm 'no', check on the lead and continue walking - he soon realises he can't get away with it but for this reason a bullbreed experienced home is desired.
The first thing we can say about Lloyd is that he is an energetic boy who will definitely need an energetic home, he loves his walks, loves to zoom round the playpen and loves to play with toys! We will be looking for someone who is up for a fair amount of walking so this guy can get all the adventures, sniffs and exercise he needs. On the lead he walks beautifully on a Gencon headcollar, bouncing along by yourside without even an attempt to pull.
We have walked him round with other dogs since coming into us and he has actually been off lead with Rusty the Lurcher, playtime was quite full on and when Lloyd had enough he just stopped playing and ignored Rusty's demands for more play. We do feel that he could well live with another dog but one that copes with a good bit of rough play, equally he would be just as happy being an only dog.
We do know that Lloyd has been to puppy training classes and has a good level of obedience, he is housetrained, loves travelling in the car, is very friendly with everyone he meets but perhaps does need some work with being left as his previous owner had only left him up to a max of 1.5 hours and he did need a lot of stimulation to keep him occupied.
Overall Lloyd is a big puppy with a good foundation knowledge who just needs the right home to continue his training to keep him on track!
