Welcome Wade who has come into us as a stray and like many, with absolutely no history so we have had to get to know him to find out what type of home he will need.
When Wade first came into us he was quite overwhelmed and shut down in the kennel environment, he didn't want to come out of his kennel then didn't want to go back in, struggling to bond with anyone seemingly not knowing what he actually wanted and we struggled to find anything to engage him with.
Wade is now getting there but clearly kennels aren't the place for him nor for his true personality to come out but we are seeing glimmers!
On the lead he is now walking much better with the use of a figure of 8, he will happily accompany you anywhere and not an ounce of bother to go back in his kennel. He is quite an active boy who loves a stroll and to take in every sniff possible.
He is becoming more interactive as each day passes, he is now happy and wagging his tail to see us, he takes treats gently and knows sit 🙂
Generally he isn't too interested in other dogs opting to just ignore and enjoy his walks but there are some that get his tail wagging! We think that he could live with another dog provided temperaments suit, we don't think he would cope with anything too over the top or bouncy, a nice placid pooch to complement his more relaxed nature otherwise he will be grand as an only dog.
Overall Wade is a lovely, gentle boy who just needs someone to see the loving dog we see that is desperate to have his own humans, a solid routine, plenty of time and a lot of love.
Ozzy has come to us as he was given to an elderly gentleman in a park, the gentleman wasn't able to keep him himself so took him to some kennels where he was taken in as an emergency before being found a rescue space with us! 
We will absolutely be looking for an active home for this dude as he has an abundance of energy so will need plenty of walks, adventures, not to mention mental stimulation in equal measures to exercise.
Ozzy is a super fun dog, there is never a dull moment when he is around! he definitely has a brain between those ears and our challenge has been to harness his concentration to use said clever brain as it's clear he has had limited input prior to coming to us so whilst we have started the basics he will need to continue his training in his new home and ideally attend some dog training classes.
On the lead he can walk well, he does often get distracted by a sniff or excited seeing a person or a dog so he does need a handler to give clear directions and praise when he's being a good boy 🙂
Obviously kennels aren't the place for such a young active boy however his excitement can sometimes get the better of him, especially when we go in for 'walkies' he jumps up often to face height and can mouthe, so we would suggest him being best placed with a home where there are no young children as he may inadvertently hurt them.
With some additional training and the paw-fect home Ozzy will make a fab dog for someone!
Braygo has come into us from a private home, the owners had recently purchased him online before deciding he was too much for their 18 year blind pug and toddler so he has come to us so we can end his home hopping (it seems he's had at least 3 homes before coming to us) and find a final and forever family!
Since arriving Braygo has been a real gem, he was a little unsure of kennels to begin with but he now knows the routine, looks forward to his walks and has made friends with everyone however we all know kennels aren't the place for a young boy like him, so fingers crossed he finds a home soon!!
On the lead he doesn't walk too badly, not quite loose lead at all times so would benefit a bit of work but he's certainly not the worst we have had!
In the playpen he does love his zoomies and playtime, any toy is his favourite toy! When he does get particularly excited he can jump up and mouthe however he is easily managed when told not to - he is a clever boy and just wants to please!
We do think it would be good for him to go along to some training classes to get up to scratch with his basic commands, He's food motivated, loves his food and a clever boy - what more could you want for a training prospective!
Braygo has been good as gold with all of the dogs he has met here, he can be a bit over the top at times like the overgrown pup he is but certainly no malice! We do think he would be able to live with another dog, perhaps a dog more able to keep up with him and play!
If your looking for a big friendly ginger Scooby Doo... Braygo would certainly fit that criteria and make a fabulous family dog!
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!
