New dog listed for rescue at the Borders Pet Rescue - Bear

Bear is described as a Bear. Breed: Bear Sex: Male Age: 2 years Key information: Shy boy at first, would be best as only pet in the house, can live with children 14 years and over.  Bear is a handsome boy who takes a little time to make friends, this is usually helped by offering him a biscuit or 2 and once he knows your safe he will be your best friend. Bear enjoys going for walks and can meet other calm, well behaved dogs, however he has never lived with another dog before and does like all his human attention to himself.  Bear can be strong on his lead and still needs a little bit of training. He has a full thick coat that will need weekly maintenance in brushing and keeping it shiney.  Bear needs new owners who have had experience of owning large GSD’s before, someone who is happy to let Bear grow in confidence without making him feel overwhelmed. Like a lot of Shepherds, Bear will bark at people coming in the door and if he is worried by someone getting too close to him on his walks he may give a little woof but does settle down when reassured by his person.  Bear is very affectionate at home, he loves to cuddle, play with his favorite toys and practice his tricks as this means food is coming – and he is a massive foodie! Bear is a big softie at heart and needs gentle owners who can understand his needs and go at his pace. if you think you could offer Bear a home, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Cookie is described as a chocolate Small Crossbreed. Sweet little Cookie! Little Cookie is just such a sweetheart !

She enjoys the company of other dogs and has lived with cats before. Cookie travels well in the car and loves a good pamper session.  We will not be rehoming Cookie to a home with young children or boisterous dogs owing to her health condition.

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 Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Rocky

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Rocky

Rocky is described as a Jack Russell Terrier. Home Requirements An experienced owner A home with garden Rocky is looking for a special home with an experienced owner who have had nervous dogs before. He will require his own private garden so he has a space to call his own where he can enjoy the outdoors safely. Rocky will need to be the only pet in an adult only home. Rocky is a special boy who can find it difficult trusting new people and will need to meet his new family several times first before he feels ready to go home. He is a boy who knows what he does and doesn’t like so requires a very understanding, patient owner who will not overwhelm him and will manage his interactions carefully. He can become worried by being handled too much and does show when he feels uncomfortable so his new owner will need to have a good understanding of dog body language in order to help Rocky make good choices. For this reason, he cannot be placed in a home where there are children, including visiting children. Once Rocky has built a good relationship with you, he does show his incredibly sweet, affectionate side and is partial to a good tummy tickle. He enjoys his walks to the woodland where he can sniff out all of the interesting smells or zooming around our paddocks as fast as he can. He will make a loving, loyal companion for the right owner who can accept him for who he is. Rocky has had some veterinary treatment during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

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

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

Santino is described as a black Lurcher. Full of fun and ready for his next big adventure! Santino is the sweetest boy! He adores people and is good around other dogs. He doesnt know his own size and will try to be a lap dog whenever the opportunity arises. He currently shares his kennel with his best friend, Ernie the lurcher. Santino walks well on the lead but can be strong when he sees something exciting so his new owner will need to be confident that they can handle his strength and help him work on his lead walking. He is a typical lurcher in many ways - he LOVES a quick zoomie but would happily cuddle on the couch for hours after and he has a high pray drive. Due to this we will be looking for a home wihtout cats/small furry animanls about. History Santino came to us as a stray who was sadly never claimed. Re-homing Criteria Santino came to us as an unclaimed stray, with this being the case, even though he has a fantastic nature, we would not rehome him with young children in the house simply due to the unknown history.  Also because of his typical breed traits, Santino would not be able to share his new home with cats or any other small furries. This handsome chap would happily live with another dog, he has been great with every dog he has met here and he loves nothing more than zooming around our paddock with his canine friends! Santino absolutely adores people so someone who has the time to give hijm lots of company would be his perfect home. A fully secure garden is a must. He is a big boy who does not know his size and although walks really well on the lead when he sees something exciting he can decide that he needs to investigate so his new owner would need to feel confident that they could handle his strength. Santino is a firm favourite of the staff and volunteers due to his absolute lust for life, you cannot help but smile when this lad is around. ADOPTION PROCEDURE Please support us ... DONATE NOW
