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.

A home with garden
Lady and Ozzy are looking for a home together with someone who have had terriers before. They would like access to their own private garden so that they have their own space to decompress from the outside world. They are looking to be the only pets in an adult only home.
Lady and Ozzy are a lovely mother, son duo who have very sweet natures and are sure to make wonderful additions to their new family. Lady is the shyer one of the two when it comes to meeting new people but, with time, she does come around and they both enjoy a cuddle beside their favourite people. They enjoy each other’s company but can be vocal towards other dogs and, Ozzy in particular, does become easily overwhelmed. They will require an understanding owner who have the time and patience needed to help the two of them settle into their new home and allow them to decompress.
Even though they are older, they thoroughly enjoy their walks in quiet areas where they can relax and sniff out every interesting smell that passes by them. They enjoy getting their paws wet in the water or rolling around on their backs for a good scratch. They are both partial to a treat however, Lady has been on a diet so her owners will need to be mindful about keeping her waistline trim!

Ralph is looking for an experienced dachshund owner who are used to a small dog with a spicy personality. He will require access to his own private garden, so he has a safe space of his own to enjoy. He needs to be in an adult only, quiet home and is looking to be the only pet.
Ralph may be small but, in typical dachshund style, he can be spicy and knows what he does and doesn’t like so will greatly benefit from a confident owner who can manage his behaviour. He is a nervous boy who lacks in confidence in most situations, including when meeting new people and requires a patient, understanding owner who will allow him to take things at his own pace. His new owner will need to be fully committed to his ongoing training and recognise that he will push the boundaries whilst he settles into his new home.
Ralph is affectionate with his favourite people and he enjoys his walks or running around playing with his soft toys. He is okay with other dogs but will have to be the only pet in the home so his owner can focus on him.
Ralph has had veterinary treatment. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Breed: Hamish

Age: 18 Months
Key information: Big friendly boy, loves people, can have doggy friends but would prefer to be only pet in the home. Does have a Dermoid Cyst on his right eye which causes him no concern.
Hamish is fun loving boy who loves people, he enjoys meeting everyone although at times he can be a little too enthusiastic and will jump up on you. He likes going for walks, playing his ball and playing a good game of fine the tasty treat.
Hamish is a strong boy and has not had much training, when he is out on walks he is manageable on his lead without distractions but when he see’s other dogs (wants to play and say hello) his ears stop listening and it takes a lot of patience to get his to focus back on you.
Hamish needs owners who have had high energy dogs before, someone who is at home most of the time and who would enjoy teaching Hamish some lead training and basic manners. He is not used to the car and needs some practice in getting used to traveling without singing.
Hamish is a big softie, he loves a cuddle and a belly rub, he likes being with you and will happily come for a cuddle on the couch.
Hamish has a Dermoid Cyst on his right eye, he has had this since birth and it causes him no issues medically or in his day to day life.

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!

Fantastic Fynn!
This handsome boy loves nothing more than a fuss! Fynn is full of life and has a real cheeky personlaity. He hasn't been with us long but we are all completely in love with him already. Fynn is a typical, daft, loving, playful lab who will make a fantastic pet.
He loves being out and about and seems happy around other dogs here at the centre. His previous owners said he was housetrained and got on well with two young children who visited. We are unsure how he would react to cats.
History
This handsome chap has been with the same home since he was 3 months old. He is now looking for a home that can meet his needs with both exercise and mental stimulation.
Re-homing Criteria
Fynn is looking for an active life. He loves the great outdoors so will need an owner who wants to join him on walks and adventures.
He is a friendly boy who likes meeting new people and could happiky live with another dog if the match was right. We can't say for sure if he would be happy around cats.
Fynn does have his basic commands but his recall could do with a little work - due to this a home with a secure garden would be ideal.

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.

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?

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!

Shy at first, but a superstar in the making!
Rex is a gentle, sensitive soul who is looking for a calm and understanding home. He is very anxious when meeting new people and needs time and patience to settle in. However, once he begins to trust, he shows a clear eagerness to please and responds well to a gentle, reassuring approach. Rex enjoys the company of other dogs and may benefit from having a calm canine companion to help him build confidence. He is housetrained but has lived outdoors in a kennel, so he will likely need some refresher training. Car travel is new to him, but he coped well in a crate on his trip to the vet. Rex is still learning to walk on a lead and will need continued support with recall and basic training.
History
Rex was handed in for rehoming after showing predatory behaviour towards chickens and being nervous around young children.
Re-homing Criteria
Rex needs a quiet, rural home where he can feel safe and supported. Due to his nervous nature, he can be flighty and has been known to be an escape artist, so a secure garden is essential. He may benefit from living with an older, confident dog who can offer reassurance and guidance. Although he has lived with cats before, care must be taken around other small animals as he has shown some predatory instincts. As Rex has been nervous around young children, we would only consider homes with teenagers who are able to respect his space and understand his need for a calm environment. Rex needs a patient and experienced owner who can offer consistent, positive training and help him gain confidence at his own pace.
It may take time for Rex to come out of his shell but with the right guidance, Rex has the potential to become the most loyal and loving companion. If you can offer him the calm, quiet, secure home he deserves, please get in touch.

OLIVER
Male
6 years
Oliver has sadly been returned to our care, after almost 4 years in a home, through absolutely no fault of his own (change of circumstances).
He is 6 years old, quite small for a boy and is a friendly, happy boy. Ideally we want his stay in kennels to be as short as possible as he has been used to his home comforts.
Oliver is fine with other greyhounds and is trainable to be around other breeds.
He really deserves another chance.

Bear is looking for an owner who have had big dogs before and can continue his basic training. He would like access to a garden, so he has another space to run around in. He may be able to live with high school aged children who are dog savvy and possibly another dog who won’t be worried by his size.
Bear is truly a super friendly, lovable goof ball who loves saying to hello to everyone he meets. He loves human company so much that he can find it difficult being on his own so his new owner will have to be willing to work on gradually building up his leaving hours over time. He does not realise his own size and can be boisterous at times so would be best suited to an owner who are confident in handling large dogs and are committed to working on his basic training to help him become a well-mannered, polite boy. He is full of energy, enjoys long walks and loves running around our paddocks with a soft toy in his mouth.
Bear does play nicely with other dogs most of the time but can sometimes get a bit over the top. He may be able to live with another dog who matches his energy pending a successful introduction.

Teddy is looking for an experienced and active owner who have an understanding of nervous dogs. He would like access to his own private garden so he has his own safe space to enjoy the outdoors, and he will need to be kept company all day. Teddy is looking to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Teddy is a bit of a sensitive soul but, with time and patience, has the potential to make a fantastic companion. He lacks in confidence when it comes to saying hello to new people and is still currently undergoing training so his new owners must be prepared to visit him at the Home a few times to do some training sessions before he is ready to leave.
Teddy is extremely affectionate and loving once he knows you. He is loyal to his favourite people and is very eager to please, particularly when you have a tasty bit of cheese or hot dog on offer. He is full of energy who loves running around chasing after his toys and is known to get the zoomies when you take him to the beach so he will need to be kept active, so he doesn’t become bored. Teddy does get on with other dogs, and he will benefit having confident dog walking buddies to go out with, but he can be a bit much for some so is best suited as an only pet so his new owners can focus on him.

Arlo and Poppy are looking for a home together with an owner who are committed to working on their basic training and they will need to be kept company all day whilst they settle in. They are looking to be the only pets in the home but may be able to live with older children.
Arlo and Poppy are an adorable duo who can be a little shy to begin with when meeting new people but are quick to come around. They are both very much lap dogs and would happily curl up for all the affection and loving they deserve. They do enjoy human company and can struggle being left alone so would like an understanding owner who have the patience to gradually build up their leaving hours over time. They are energetic, playful and love going for their walks together or alongside other doggy friends. They will no doubt make wonderful additions to their new family.

Rocky has been matched to several applicants now which means we are no longer accepting new interest for him.
Rocky is looking for an active owner who has owned a dog before and can keep him company most of the day until he settles into his new home. He may suit living with older dog savvy teens and is looking to be the only pet in his home.
Rocky is a lovely boy who can be wary of new people but soon comes round with a tasty treat. He can be very food motivated but loves it so much that he has previously shown that he isn’t always keen to share so will need an understanding owner who can manage this. He’s full of energy and loves to go on walks to the beach where he can dip his paws in the water or do lots of sniffing. He would make an excellent running partner so would thrive with an active owner. Whilst Rocky needs to be the only pet, if introductions are done properly, he does have some doggy pals that he enjoys going out with.
Rocky has had some veterinary treatment whilst with us, more information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Nala is looking for a quiet home with an experienced owner who understand terriers and the quirks they can have. She will require access to her own private garden so she has a safe space to enjoy the outdoors away from other dogs. Nala will need to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Nala may be small, but she does have a spicy personality. She certainly knows what she does and doesn’t like but, by managing her interactions carefully, her new owner can avoid any unnecessary frustrations. Nala can be loving and affectionate with those she knows, but can be nervous around unfamiliar people so the best thing is to give her space until she feels ready to say hello.
The key to winning her over is by playing with her toys which she would happily do all day if you gave her the chance. She is uncomfortable around other dogs, but she does have bounds of energy to burn off so will require plenty of exercise in quieter areas to keep her happy and she may even enjoy doing scent work. Nala has a lot of potential to make a fantastic companion for someone willing to put the work and time into her.
