New dog listed for rescue at the Staffie Smiles Rescue - OLLIE

OLLIE is described as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Sex Male Age 1.5 Years Old Size Medium (21kg) Dogs Yes Cats No Children​ 12+ Ollie was found tied to a tree and served 7 days in the pound, without being claimed. Ollie was offered a rescue place with us and travelled to us early May. Ollie is currently in kennels in West Lothian area. Ollie is such a lovely and friendly boy, he has only been with us a short time but has came across as a laidback and chilled boy.  Ollie is playful and loves playing with toys like rope toys, balls ect! We feel he would be good at agility, scentwork and he loves being in the field on a secure line, he would suit an active home who would give him mental/physical stimulation.  Ollie tested really well in the pound with numerous dogs and hasn't shown any adverse reactions, he is fine coming out of kennels and will stop to sniff dogs and walk away. Ollie knows basic commands like sit and takes treats very nicely, Ollie is still young and will benefit from attending training classes.  Ollie when over excited can hump, this is being worked on and he takes direction well with this. Ollie is in good health, he is neutered, chipped and vaccinated, although is quite slim so we are working on putting weight on him. Ollie walks really well on the lead and has no issues putting collar/lead on, he loves being in the field on his long line having a good sniff and exploring. TBC A secure garden would be a plus.  Could live with another dog, pending intros.  Committed to ongoing training and socialisation. Active home SCOTTISH REGISTERED CHARITY -  SC045602 Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 – License Number: MLC/ARA/003 from Midlothian Council.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Ernie

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Ernie

Ernie is described as a Lurcher. A very lovable chap who loves a fuss. Ernie is a real sweetheart! He is a happy, friendly guy who is great fun to be around. He enjoys the company of other dogs and as found a best friend here at the centre who he shares his space with (Santino the Lurcher). Ernie loves being out and about and really enjoys company. He is looking for love, cuddles, adventures and a place to call his own. Due to his typical breed traits we are looking for a home without cats/ small furry animals around. This handsome lad would LOVE a canine friend to share his life with so another dog in the home is a must - however they would need to match his playful energy! History Ernie came to us as an unclaimed stray. Re-homing Criteria Ernie is a fantastic young lad who has such a lust for life! He is at his happiest while he is enjoying his zoomies in our paddock. His new home will need to have a fully secure garden so he has somewhere to carry on this favourite pastime of his! Ernie was a stray so we sadly do not have any background on how he would be with young children or cats , so we would be looking for a home without either of these. Ernie loves company - he would be looking for a family with someone around most of the time and an already established dog as he thrives with his canine friends here. If you have space for a super fun loving dog in your life, Ernie could be your one! ADOPTION PROCEDURE Please support us ... DONATE NOW

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Myah

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Myah

Myah is described as a black and white Jack Russell Terrier. Full of terrier spirit, just at a gentler pace! Myah is a sweet-natured Jack Russell Terrier with a big heart and a love for people.  She enjoys her walks, preferring a gentle potter rather than anything too energetic, and is happiest when she’s in good company.  Myah is housetrained, travels well in the car, and is content being left alone for a few hours.  She's had positive experiences meeting children and thrives on human interaction.  When it comes to other dogs, she's a bit hit or miss—some she likes, some she doesn’t—so careful introductions are a must.  Myah hasn’t lived with cats before, so we don’t know how she would react in a home with them. History Myah was handed into the centre for rehoming due to a change in circumstances. Re-homing Criteria Myah would suit a quiet, calm home where she can enjoy her golden years at her own pace. While she may be able to live with another dog following successful introductions at the centre, she would likely be happiest in a home without too much hustle and bustle.  Due to her age, we would prefer a home without very young children.  We would be looking for a home with a fully secure garden for this lady so she has a completely safe space to enjoy pottering outdoors. As Myah adores human company a home where someone is around most of the day would be ideal ! This lady would make someone a loyal and affectionate addition to the right home.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Flynn UPDATED

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Flynn UPDATED

Flynn UPDATED is described as a black Cocker Spaniel. Fabulous Flynn! Meet Flynn — a happy, energetic boy who is every inch the classic spaniel!  Always smiling and full of enthusiasm, Flynn loves people and is guaranteed to brighten your day. He’s a very active lad who thrives on getting outdoors and loves nothing more than heading out for long adventures.  Flynn was house-trained in his previous home and keeps his kennel clean here.  As well as physical exercise, Flynn needs plenty of mental stimulation to keep his sharp mind occupied. History Flynn was originally rehomed from us but was sadly returned due to behavioural challenges in the home. Re-homing Criteria Flynn has been assessed by a behaviourist, and his new family must be willing to follow a guidance plan that will be provided.  Flynn uses toys to soothe his anxiety and should always have access to safe toys in the home.  It is very important that toys or items are never forcibly taken from him.  A calm, gentle approach to handling is essential to help Flynn feel safe and supported, and to prevent any anxiety-related behaviours. Flynn is looking for a calm, patient, and experienced home.  Ideally, his new family will have experience with working spaniels or high-energy breeds.  Flynn would need a secure garden where he can safely explore and play.  He could live with another friendly dog after successful introductions at the centre.  We do not know how Flynn would respond to cats.  Due to his behavioural needs, we are looking for a child-free home. Flynn needs stability, patience, and understanding to continue building his confidence.  His ideal home will be quiet, structured, and filled with love.  Flynn is a wonderful, clever, and affectionate dog who is ready for his second chance — could that be with you?

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Jack

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Jack

Jack is described as a black and white Border Collie. All energy, all love – Jack’s the full package! Jack is a high-energy Border Collie who thrives on activity and stimulation.  He has previously lived with older children and teenagers and could happily do so again in the right home.  Jack has also lived with cats and can be playful indoors, but he may chase outdoors, so any resident cat would need to be confident and dog-savvy.  On the lead, Jack can be reactive to other dogs, but he has enjoyed positive off-lead interactions with dogs at the centre.  He is housetrained, travels well in the car, and is comfortable being left alone for a few hours. History Jack was handed into the centre due to a change in his owners’ circumstances. Re-homing Criteria Jack can be nervous when meeting new people, particularly men, and will need a calm, patient owner willing to take the time to build his confidence.  He could live with older children or teens, a confident, dog-savvy cat, and possibly another friendly dog with careful introductions.  Jack requires an active, breed-experienced home—ideally with someone who enjoys hiking, agility, or flyball.  A secure garden is essential, as he tends to chase when off-lead and still needs work on his recall. His new family must be committed to supporting him with his lead reactivity and helping him feel more at ease around strangers. Jack has so much potential – he just needs the right person to help him shine! Homefinder Questionnaire If you'd like to help rehome Jack simply complete the Homefinder Questionnaire to get started.
