Shih Tzu

Male

• History: Baxter is a smart dog who has unfortunately been returned to kennels after a year due to his barking, which caused stress for everyone, including Baxter. He enjoys walks and gets on well with people and calm dogs.
  
  
• General Health and Medical Information: Baxter is vaccinated, neutered, wormed and flea-treated.

• Rescue Environment: Baxter has become a firm favourite with staff and volunteers due to his fun-loving and young-at-heart personality. He walks nicely on a lead and loves any opportunity to learn, especially when toys, food or praise are involved. He gets on well with calm dogs. He has been getting ongoing training to help him build confidence, as well as working on teaching him to relax and switch off.
  
  
• Home Environment: Baxter would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home where he can enjoy a calm and predictable routine. Due to his sensitivity to busy environments and noise, he needs a household that can offer him patience, stability and plenty of gentle encouragement. He is not suitable to live with cats.
  
  
• Teaching and Training: Baxter loves training sessions and enjoys using his brain. He learns quickly and is motivated by fun, food and praise. Continuing this gentle, reward-based training in his new home will help him settle successfully and continue to flourish.
  
  Meet and greets will need to be arranged by appointment only, subject to a suitable adoption application.

Belgian Malinois X GSD

Female

• History: Flo is a beautiful German Shepherd cross who was found as a stray and was never claimed, so she found her way to us. We are now helping her find her forever home.
  
  
• General Health and Medical Information: Flo is vaccinated, flea-treated, wormed and spayed. When she arrived at the kennels, Flo had an injury to her front left paw. An X-ray revealed that all of her toes had been broken at some point in her life and had not healed properly. Although she is currently comfortable and taking a joint supplement, she may be prone to developing arthritis later in life. Any potential adopter will therefore need to monitor this and seek veterinary support as needed.
  
  
• Rescue Environment: Since she arrived, we have seen Flo flourish in confidence, especially around people once she gets to know them. She also seems to get on well with the other dogs at the rescue centre.
  
  
• Home Environment: Flo doesn't cope well on her own in kennels as she prefers the company of familiar people, so she would be best suited to a home where someone is around most of the time. She can get spooked by sudden loud noises when out on walks, so having a large, secure garden or being able to run off the lead in a secure field would benefit her.
  
  
• Teaching and Training: Due to her past injury, Flo can't walk long distances, so we're doing extra mental exercises with her. She has done really well with her scent work and basic training. This has given her more confidence and provided her with a positive mental outlet, which will help her when she's in kennels. It would be good for any potential adopters to keep this up.
  
  Meet and greets will need to be arranged by appointment only, subject to a suitable adoption application.

Greyhound

Female

• History: Eileen is a sweet-natured girl who loves nothing more than spending time with her people. She’s an ex-racing greyhound who is now looking for a calm, loving home where she can truly thrive.
  
  
• General Health and Medical Information: Eileen is vaccinated, flea-treated, wormed, and neutered. 
  
  
• Rescue Environment: When meeting new people, Eileen is friendly and relaxed, happily wagging her tail and accepting her harness and lead with no fuss. She walks beautifully on the lead, staying close by and showing lots of interest in her surroundings.
  
  She’s also very responsive to her name, coming back promptly when called, even while she’s busy sniffing. She especially loves soft squeaky toys and is highly treat-motivated, which makes her a joy to train and bond with.
  
  
• Home Environment: Eileen would be happy in a home with a secure garden to give her space to explore and play with her favourite squeaky toys.
  
  
• Teaching and Training: Eileen’s interest in treats and toys makes her highly trainable, and she would enjoy simple scent games and reward-based enrichment. While she’s already polite on-lead and responsive to recall, she’ll benefit from gentle structure and ongoing positive reinforcement in her new home.

GSD X Bull Breeds

Female

• History: Amber came into our care as a stray and has made great strides in building her confidence. She’s still working on this and will need an adopter who has the time, patience, and understanding to help her continue developing trust in a calm, supportive environment.
  
  
• General Health and Medical Information: Amber is vaccinated, flea-treated, and wormed. She is in good general health and is an active, energetic girl who thrives with regular exercise and stimulation.
  
  
• Rescue Environment: Amber is a sweet and friendly girl who forms strong bonds with the people she trusts. Once settled, she is affectionate, loyal, and a joy to be around. While she can be wary with new people or dogs, especially at first, she has made dog friends here at the rescue and enjoys playtime with familiar companions.
  
  
• Home Environment: Amber would best suit a home where someone is around most of the time, as she can be vocal when left alone. She would benefit from being the only dog in the home and being in an adult only home. A home with experience in large breeds would be ideal. She’ll also need a secure garden where she can run and play safely.
  
  
• Teaching and Training: Amber has solid basic training, walks nicely on lead, and enjoys learning. She particularly loves scent work and has shown promise with agility, which is not only fun for her but also a great way to build confidence and deepen her bond with her adopter. She thrives with mental stimulation and puzzle toys.

Greyhound

Male

• History: Pete is an ex-racing greyhound who is an affectionate boy who’s always ready for an adventure. With his constantly wagging tail and friendly nature, he brings joy wherever he goes.
  
  
• General Health and Medical Information: Pete is vaccinated, flea-treated, wormed, and neutered. He is in good general health.
  
  
• Rescue Environment: Pete adores human company and greets everyone with a wagging tail. He enjoys scentwork and walks beautifully on lead but as a sighthound, he has a keen eye for small animals and will spot them before you do, so alertness and good management on walks are essential. 
  
  
• Home Environment: Pete would do well in a home with knowledge of sighthound instincts (particularly around small animals). A secure garden for zoomies and lounging would be ideal. He would benefit from living with another dog, provided introductions are slow and managed carefully - this should not be a small sized dog. Pete shouldn’t be re-homed with cats or small animals, due to his strong prey drive. He would be best suited to a home where someone is around most of the time.
  
  
• Teaching and Training: Pete enjoys off-lead play in secure areas for around 20 minutes, after which he’s happy to curl up on the sofa or bed. He’ll benefit from continued structure and consistency in his new home.
  
  Meet and greets will need to be arranged by appointment only, subject to a suitable adoption application.

Border Collie

Female

• History: Rizzo was surrendered to the rescue after her previous family realised they couldn’t meet her needs for stimulation, time, and exercise. The busy household environment was overwhelming for her, and she’s now seeking a calmer, more suitable home where she can truly thrive.
  
  
• General Health and Medical Information: Rizzo is vaccinated, flea-treated, wormed, and spayed. She is in good general health and responds well to consistent care and structure.
  
  
• Rescue Environment: Rizzo is a loving and loyal companion who forms strong bonds with those she trusts. Once she feels secure, she truly blossoms. She enjoys structured play, especially with tennis balls, and does well with scent games that stimulate her mind and body.
  
  
• Home Environment: Rizzo will thrive in a calm, structured home, ideally with someone who has experience with Border Collies. An understanding of her herding instincts, intelligence, and sensitivity is key to helping her settle and flourish.
  
  She would not be suited to be re-homed with children. A secure garden is essential so she can safely play, explore, and decompress.
  
  Like many Border Collies, she can be sensitive to noise and unfamiliar situations, such as vacuums, TVs, or wheeled objects. 
  
  
• Teaching and Training: Rizzo responds well to reward-based training, which helps her gain confidence and adapt to new environments. She would benefit from structured training sessions, consistent routines, and plenty of mental stimulation. Her love for toys and puzzle games makes enrichment easy and enjoyable.
  
  Due to her sensitivity and need to build trust, multiple meet and greets will be required before adoption to ensure she feels comfortable with her future family.
  
  Meet and greets will need to be arranged by appointment only, subject to a suitable adoption application.

Cockapoo

Male

• History: Oaty has had a difficult start to life, but with time, patience, and positive reinforcement, he has grown into a confident, affectionate, and intelligent dog with those he trusts. He’s now ready to find a home that will continue to support his progress and give him the stability he deserves.
  
  
• General Health and Medical Information: Oaty is vaccinated, flea-treated, wormed, and neutered. He is currently receiving veterinary care for a skin condition, which we are managing with ongoing treatment and support. We will provide full medical information to potential adopters.
  
  
• Rescue Environment: When Oaty first arrived, he struggled to adjust to kennel life, largely due to a negative past experience with crate confinement. Thanks to our staff and volunteers, who worked patiently to build his trust, he now views his kennel as a safe space. For this reason, we do not recommend crating Oaty in a home environment.
  
  Oaty can be wary of strangers, especially when it comes to physical contact and personal space. He has been muzzle-trained for grooming and vet visits, which he handles well with familiar handlers.
  
  Once trust is built, Oaty becomes affectionate, loyal, and loving with the people he knows. He enjoys human company and forms strong bonds when given time and respect.
  
  
• Home Environment: Oaty would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home with no resident or visiting children. He needs adopters who can commit to building a trusting relationship over time, using positive, force-free methods. A secure garden where he can explore and play would be ideal.
  
  
• Teaching and Training: Oaty is intelligent and active, and he benefits greatly from both mental and physical stimulation. Ongoing enrichment - such as scent games, puzzle toys, and structured walks - will help prevent boredom and support his continued growth and confidence.
  
  Meet and greets will need to be arranged by appointment only, subject to a suitable adoption application.

Shih Tzu

Male

• History: Jasper is a cheeky, playful young dog who loves life and thrives on human company. He’s still looking for that special home where he can fully come into his own.
  
  
• General Health and Medical Information: Jasper is vaccinated, flea-treated, wormed, and neutered. He will require regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and in good condition.
  
  
• Rescue Environment: Jasper is a fun, affectionate boy, he enjoys playtime, and showing off his personality, especially when he’s feeling secure. He can be sensitive to too much touch, we are continuing to work on him self-settling so he is comfortable. When he becomes over excited, he can become obsessed with certain toys, keeping him calm is crucial in these situations.
  
  He can be nervous in certain situations, especially around unfamiliar people or dogs. When stressed, he may bark at other dogs, so ongoing support and management during walks will be important. 

• Home Environment: Jasper would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home, with an owner who is home for most of the day. He should be the only pet in the home, and would benefit from a secure garden where he can run, play, and decompress.
  
  He needs an adopter who is patient, understanding of dog body language, and willing to continue working on his confidence with positive, force-free training.
  
  
• Teaching and Training: Jasper is intelligent and eager to learn. He picks up new things quickly and enjoys interacting with people and toys. His recall is generally good, but would benefit from further consistency and reward-based reinforcement.
  
  Meet and greets will need to be arranged by appointment only, subject to a suitable adoption application.
