Meet Evelin, who's name carries meanings of 'desired' and 'beautiful', we can say she is an utter name sake as she has the most beautiful nature!
Evelin has come into us from another charity with her friend Ellie (who is also up for rehoming) and since day one she has been the most gentle soul, albeit she is on the shy side but her confidence is growing and so is her personality.
On the lead she walks really well, never pulling or straying too far from your side.
She gets on well with other dogs, not really bothering too much about them. She could live with another dog provided they have as equally relaxed temperament and don't overwhelm her.
As you can imagine a shy little girl like Evelin isn't enjoying the noise and stresses of kennels, she hates going back in, bless her š
She hasn't yet found her love of toys or zoomies as yet but we are sure with a loving home this will come.
Ideally Evelin will blossom in a quieter home, in that we mean no younger children inadvertently banging about which may give her a fright.
We really don't have a bad word to say about her and we will be sad to see her go but we can't wait to find her the most paw-fect home!! š
Amar is finally ready to find himself a new home, after arriving with us with his sister Billie, although he has a long way to go Amar has now developed enough confidence to start his own life with a new family!
When he first arrived lead, walks, new people and new environments were all very scary for him, it took us a while to coax him out but we got there - he's gone from shut down, to quivering wreck needing to be attached to another dog to walking out fairly happily on the fields! The biggest thing on Amar's wish list is to have another dog as a companion and to take confidence from, he thrives in the company of other dogs becoming so much more outgoing, tail wagging and loves to play/interact with them so his progress will be helped by another four legged friend!!
In the playpen he doesn't really know what to do or where to go unless he has another dog around to play with, follow and take lead from. The type of dog he would suit would be one who is confident and who likes a play as when he knows them he can be quite over the top!
Throughout all of his most fearful moments his temperament has never faltered, though petrified at times he has never shown an ounce of aggression, he's one to plant himself or try and scarper but now he is very accepting of all the fuss he gets provided people approach gently.
He can walk around the fields on his own, he does need a lot of confidence from his handler and we have found he is a treat monster so food will definitely help win him over but obviously as described above he is much better with another dog in tow!
We are ideally looking for a quieter home with no young children, as he is still nervous he would struggle with the hustle and bustle of daily life, playtime and noises. He would love a patient and experienced home to help him flourish into a well rounded adult.
Amar really is a sweet boy who just needs to find a home to continue his journey!
Meet the gorgeous Billie. This sweet little pup is a 6 month old medium crossbreed and has come into us from another rescue with her brother Amar so is looking for her first forever home.
Billie is still a little nervous of the big wide world but is getting braver everyday. She has come on in leaps and bounds since she's been with us and is now enjoying going out for walks and being in the playpen. She still gets a little uncertain with loud or unusual noises bless her. She will need a patient and loving home to help her learn that the world is a wonderful place. Billie gets on well with other dogs and could live with one if the temperaments suit and we're sure it would also help with her confidence.
Billie will need the full works from house training upwards but if you have the time and love to give this special girl she will make a super lifelong friend.
Meet our lovely girl Elsa who has come into us from another rescue with no history on what she's been up to so far in life!
We did manage to find a home for Elsa but sadly she was returned to us after 4 weeks due to her excitable behaviour, reaction meeting new dogs on walks and mouthing. Sadly our offer to work with our behaviourist was declined so she has come back to us in the hope we can find her a better suited home to work with her going forwards.
Elsa is indeed an excitable girl, she is always super happy, tail wagging and ready for the next adventure! She will need an active home to provide her with all the walks she needs but also balanced out with mental stimulation as she is a clever cookie who loves learning and being told she is a good girl - agility, scent work or obedience would definitely be on the cards for her!
On the lead she can and does walk well with correct instructions, there are times when her nose and excitement get the better of her so further work will be needed in her new home to rein her in but we have started and she is doing well.
Prior to coming to us Elsa was with lots of other dogs, she also walked round, met and played with a variety of other dogs whilst she was here however her previous owner said she was reactive upon meeting new dogs. Since being back with us we have purposely put her in various situations to gauge her reactions with new dogs of different sizes and both male and female, we have found that her reaction was likely misinterpreted possibly with her owners apprehension feeding into her, as she can bark and have a bounce about in excitement seeing some dogs however just taking a moment to get her focus, put in a sit and praise (she is very attentive and very food motivated) she will then approach without barking and happily say hello to the dog and their handler. She has also walked within inches of a new dog side by side without a care in the world along with meeting other new dogs face on without anything other than a waggy tail.
As mentioned we sadly have no history on Elsa but it is likely that she was never able to fully live out her puppyhood nor had any training when she was younger, now that she feels secure and definitely happy she is very much reliving her puppyhood which her owner experienced in mouthing, she hasn't mouthed at all since being here as much as we have tried to put her in a position to, however it may be a behaviour only present in the home so her new owner might need to do some work, leave a house lead on her and ensure she quickly understands this isn't acceptable.
We have been told that Elsa is housetrained, travels well, crate trained, has learned a lot of commands and was good with the dogs she got to know.
Overall Elsa is just a young active dog who thrives on exercise, routine and mental stimulation, she really needs a home to help her along with her training to become a well rounded dog, take her to training classes and ideally work with our behaviourist if needed.
Meet our little dude Billy who has come into us from another rescue with his sister Bonnie (who is also up for rehoming), neither of them have any history but we're hoping to rewrite their future!!
Billy is a super friendly boy who loves his fuss and cuddles, he can be a bit timid at times especially in new situations or with unfamiliar sounds but he is very inquisitive and it doesn't take long for him to come round, taking his confidence from his handler - saying that he can also be a cheeky monkey at times!
On the lead he is making progress everyday but being a baby he is still learning and does still get excited, jumping up and circling round your feet but with continued work in his new home we are sure that he will nail walking to heel like a good boy.
We are looking for a home to take him along to training classes as he doesn't know any of his basic commands but he does have a good recall and will bring toys back to you to throw for him - he's a clever one who just needs a bit of direction.
Billy is good with other dogs he's just very lively so he could live with another dog provided they could keep up with his antics equally he would be just fine as an only dog.
Overall Billy is just a young dog who needs a family to teach him all that he needs to know to grow up to be a well rounded adult, he has a beautiful nature and will make a fab family dog.
Meet our gorgeous cuddle bunny BONNIE who at only 8 months old found herself in the pound along with her brother Billy. As you can see she is super friendly, walks pretty well on the lead and loves to curl up next you on the sofa. She has been fine with other dogs she has met but is far more interested in people bless her. Would make a great family allrounder

Scout has come into us from another rescue who rescued him from the stray pound where he had an uncertain future, thankfully his future is safe and now in our hands to find him the perfect home where he never ends up as a stray ever again.
On the lead he is quite a strong boy who pulls but we're starting to work with him to rein him in and get that lead looser! He will need an active home as he does love his walks and would happily walk for miles but equally be happy for a shorter walk and lots of playtime in the garden!
The playpen is his favorite place place as he loves his free time and above everything else he loves his toys! Sometimes he does love his toys a bit too much and isn't a fan of you taking them from him but he will happily trade or drop that toy to chase another you've thrown for him.
Scout isn't sure of his basic commands, his sit is more luck than judgement and you get the face of judgment when you ask for paw - bless him! We are trying to teach him things like 'leave it' which will be helpful with his unwillingness to give up toys but we do think some general obedience training would be really beneficial for him in his new home.
Scout is a very friendly boy, he loves his fuss and loves to be with you.
We have introduced Scout to lots of other dogs, his preference is the ladies but he can be quite over the top and at times a bit dominant so we would be looking to place him in a home with no other dogs and just have social trips on walks.
Overall Scouty is a fab dog who just need someone to put some time into him to show him how to be the best boy - he will certainly make someone a loyal companion!
Merlin is sadly looking for a new home as his owner is having to move into accommodation where they can only take 2 out of the three dogs, so with no other choice available the very upsetting decision has been made to find Merlin a home elsewhere. Merlin and his owner don't live local to us and made a mammoth drive up to us for us to assess him, thankfully he was absolutely golden here and it's very clear his owner has done SO much work with him.
This is what his owners have to say about him:
Merlin is a 5-year-old mixed breed. While his exact breed is unknown, whatever he is, heās absolutely beautiful. Merlin is fully house and crate trained, travels calmly and confidently in the car, and displays no signs of separation anxiety. He is not destructive and can be left alone in the home for a few hours without issue. On the lead, Merlin walks well overall, though he can show occasional reactivity, typically only when another dog barks first. With a clear āleave itā command and the use of treats, which heās extremely motivated by, he can be redirected quickly and chooses to focus on his handler over distractions. He is very friendly with strangers both in and outside of the home and adapts well to new people. Although he loves affection, Merlin is also an independent dog who is often happy doing his own thing, whether thatās playing with toys, simply lounging around or scoffing a peanut butter stuffed kong (his favourite). He has a silly, fun-loving side and absolutely loves tug of war and plays vocally and energetically, which is all part of his joyful, rough-play style and shouldnāt be mistaken for aggression. He also enjoys rolling on the grass or carpet, showing off his belly and being his goofy self. Merlin has always been polite and gentle when meeting children on walks, but as he has no experience living with them, he would be best suited to an adult-only home. He could live with another dog following proper introductions and multiple meet-and-greets to ensure a good match, as he currently lives peacefully with three other male dogs. Alternatively, he would also be perfectly content as an only dog receiving all the love and attention. Merlin is not suitable for a home with small animals, as he has a chase drive and displays reactivity toward cats on walks in the past. In some situations, he can be strong-willed, so he requires a confident, experienced handler who can offer structure, ongoing training, and patienceāsupport and guidance will be provided to ensure his continued progress. Merlin came to me resource guarding his water bowl and any kind of food. We have touched over some training with that and having a bond built has put respect in our relationship and I haven't seen any further aggression. Merlin is a fantastic travel companion, coffee date and an unapologetic sofa hog. With the right person, he will make a deeply loyal, entertaining, and affectionate best friend.
We are just helping Merlin's owner find him a new home, he is based near Essex. If you are interested in rehoming him and ideally are located near Essex then please email us for an application form, we can then put you in touch with his owner - [email protected]
