Demi
Patterdale X

This puppy may be small,

And in need of a lot of care,

In a home full of fun and love,

Where someone will be there,

 

She was really small and needy,

When she first came into us,

So into a foster home she went,

Extra time and care was a must,

 

So if you have time for training,

And wish to teach this dog new tricks,

With a new forever home you give,

She’ll say thanks with lots of licks.

Mitzy
German Shepherd

Mitzy is a typical German Shepherd - loyal, obedient and quick to learn. In her previous home Mitzi had a bad experience with another dog and so can be defensive when meeting a new dog for the first time. She is looking for understanding owners with previous dog experience who can help her overcome these fears. With time, patience and a little training she will make someone an extremely devoted companion. She waits patiently to be chosen, could you be the one?

Zen
Black & White Collie X

Hi my name is Zen, I’m an original Holly Hedge, returning after two years of living in a loving home. I’m a great fun dog that really enjoys running and playing with other dogs and children. In my last home I didn’t get much exercise so I look a little over-weight, but with new energetic owners this would soon disappear. I know I’m a very handsome boy, and that you would be very proud to own me. I will always greet you with a smile and a wag of my tail.

Smudge
Labrador X

Smudge is a high energy dog waiting for a patient and committed owner who can channel his energies.

Smudge is good natured with people and children, but because he can easily become over excited he is looking for a calm adult only home, where he can rest between long walks and fun games.

With the right home environment and plenty of exercise, Smudge will quickly flourish into the most loving and loyal of dogs. If you have what he needs, please consider giving him the chance.

Tara
Black & White Collie X

This pretty girl found herself here as her owners were evicted from their home and were unable to keep her. Tara just loves to play, especially with tennis balls and she'll provide endless entertainment fetching and bringing them back. She walks very nicely on her lead and just wants to please. Tara has lived with young children previously, and so would make an ideal dog for a loving family home.

Ozzie
Yellow Labrador

Ozzie is a good natured dog with a real zest for life! He is wonderful with children, but as he is going to need lots of time and training will be best homed with older, teenage children, younger visiting children will be fine.

Ozzie is very strong on the lead, and his new owners will need to be patient and firm, and put in some hard work to get him under control.

With time and training Ozzie has the potential to become the perfect family pet.

Are you up for the challenge?

Kushdi
Tan & White Staffy

This loveable rascal is a real little bundle of fun! OK so Kushdi is at the moment a bit of a “rough diamond” - lacking some manners and needing a little basic training. But with a little time and patience, she will be “perfick”. And just think about all the mischief and larks you could get up to together.

Could Kushdi be the one for you? You’d have to be a right “plonker” to pass her by.

Please come in and meet her.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

This cute girl just loves to be the centre of attention with lots of fuss and cuddles. She was sadly brought to us as her owners hours changed which left her on her own for long hours. Now she is just waiting for her new home where she can be spoilt with affection and lovely long walks. Jess is a very loyal and fun dog who would make a great playful companion!

She is good with dogs, but we are not sure how she is with cats.

Midi

Have you got some nice barns and your own land? Own a small holding or stables? Would you like to own one or two cats to help keep the rodents away?

Why not consider Midi or Maria. These two lovely girls arrived here with kittens, both are now speyed. Sadly despite efforts from staff to fully domesticate them, they still are partly feral and would suit a home where they can be looked out for but lead an independent life.

They would be happy with a barn or similar with a comfy bed and nice food, where they would be free to come and go.

Teddy
Brindle & Black Crossbreed

Teddy is a very loving, although strong willed young dog. He loves being around people and would benefit from an active home with owners who will play with him and take him on fun walks or runs. He loves other dogs although a little to the extreme! As soon as he sees dogs, he wants to meet and play with them. His over-excitement often means he leaves his manners at home, so we are looking for his new owners to be happy to take him to training classes to help his socialisation skills.
He lives with a cat and although he will chase her, they tolerate each other and Teddy will respect her if she tells him off. His owner often takes him to work where he meets many people, horses and chickens etc and is always well behaved. He lives with older children but also regularly sees an 18 month old with whom he is very gentle. Teddy also walks nicely on the lead, is very clever, and has learned lots of tricks.

Angel
Rottweiller

Angel is a 4 year old rottie that is looking for a new home now her owners are working full time hours. She is quite a nervous dog, so would benefit from owners with large dog experience and the time to help her overcome her worries. Her training and socialising has been very restrictive, so she needs owners with patience to help her gain confidence when meeting other dogs, people and not to be scared of things like bikes and cars. She is very friendly and loving in the home.
