Hi Everyone! My name is Yumiko

My foster mum just calls me Yumi which I like. I’m a 3yr old husky. I’ve been with my foster mum in Scotland now for 3mths. I love the cold and the nice hills I get to wander here.

I love sleeping at the bottom of my foster mums bed and getting tucked in at night in my fluffy blanket. I love a lie in but like to open the curtain to look out the window in the morning while I’m still in bed. I like lazy mornings but as soon as I’m asked do I want breakfast I jump up. I love long walks and running so would love my forever home to be active.

When I’m left at home alone I seek out cardboard and poly bags and rip them up so my foster mum has to hide these. If I don’t get my long walks I can also scratch the door when left but this has only happened once so I’m always good being left for a few hours if I’m tired from my hill walks.

I don’t have little kids in my house at the minute but I’m very gentle with all the kids I’ve met and love kisses and cuddles. In fact I will kiss everyone I meet because I just love all the attention. I also am friendly with other dogs even when they bark at me. I think I would love a brother or sister as I’m super playful.

I can sit and lie down but only when I want so I may need some more work on that. My ideal home would be somewhere I can get to run and nice long walks in the hills or near the water.

I am a special pup because I just have so much love for everyone I meet and I’m not a noisy husky. I will do a quiet talk if I want out or need attention but mum says I’m a unicorn of a sled dog

History... Reggie is an owner surrender. 

​More about me... 

Reggie is approx 6 months old & looking for his forever home, Reggie is a typical young boisterous staffie who loves to play but as still in the puppy stage can become over excited & mouthy. He knows basic commands and enjoys playing with his ball and a game of tug.

Reggie is crate trained & goes in there to sleep & when his owner is out with no issues, he is also housetrained & travels well in the car, he has been used to the car from a young age.

Reggie hasn’t been socialised much but he seems to be submissive with other dogs, his new owners will need to work on socialising him & exposing him to the world as walking outside & on a lead can be scary at times! Reggie will need lead training as at the moment he doesn't walk well on the lead, he would suit an active home who will be dedicated to training him.

Ringo has been very popular and has now been matched to several possible homes, this means we are unable to process any new interest for him.
Ringo is looking for a quiet home, with someone active who has owned a dog before. He may suit living with older children aged 12 or more but would prefer to be the only pet in his home. He also needs to have access to a secure garden and a home in a quiet area away from the city centre. He would like to have company for most of the day.
Ringo is a sweet and happy boy who loves attention and being made a fuss of. He likes being with people and loves cuddling up on the sofa. He is a very energetic dog who needs an active owner, who can provide all of the exercise and mental stimulation that he needs. He would benefit from long walks in in the countryside, and because he enjoys using his nose, he would like to do some scent work. Ringo can be boisterous when he is over excited, so will need to continue his training, but he is sure to make a great addition to the right family.

History

Izzy is looking for a new home due to a change in circumstances.

Re-homing Criteria

We are looking for a happy, loving home who can give Izzy all the love she deserves. She would love a completely secure garden where she can safely do what she loves best...play ! someone with experience and understanding of the breed and the common medical issues that can come with this would be preferable. Going forward we would strongly suggest she is insured with a reputable pet insurance company, and the new owners appreciate and fully understand the cost of owning one of these dogs. We would ideally be looking to rehome her with another of our dachshunds. Regarding children we will be looking for a home with kids 10years or older.

Super Staffie!

Casper has been with us for a while now and has had a difficult time finding love! Casper initially pulled strongly on the lead, but he has made great progress and now walks much better on the lead, though he still pulls slightly when he finds an interesting spot to sniff! He ignores the other dogs at the centre and has been parallel-walked with another dog, but he would like to be the only pet in his new home. Casper does keep his kennel clean overnight indicating that he may have been housetrained previously.

History

Casper came to the centre as an unclaimed stray.

Re-homing Criteria

Ideally, Casper is looking for a home with a secure garden where he won’t be left alone for long periods of time. Casper can be overly enthusiastic around people and would do best in a home without small children. He is a lovely staffie with a lot of personality and character; he will make an excellent canine companion!

Are you right for Chase?

Chase is an energetic and friendly fella looking for a family who can continue his basic training, including calm behaviours and loose lead walking. He is a 2 year old German Shepherd who requires a lot of mental stimulation so he would love a family who would enjoy keeping him busy, and who are able to physically manage him on the lead! Chase requires direct access to a secure garden that has a 6ft fence and he is looking to learn how to socialise with other dogs who aren't too bouncy as he can be reactive to other dogs. For this reason, he is looking to be the only pet in the home and cannot live with children under the age of 16. Chase would also benefit from quiet, dog-free areas to walk in. He is able to be left for 3-5 hours a day, as long as this is built up slowly.

Is Chase right for you?

Chase adores people and soft toys and also fully believes that he is the size of a lap dog! This fantastic fluffy boy will thrive in a home that are happy to spend time training and exercising him. He is an excitable lad who will require a home that doesn't have too many stairs as he does have a medical condition that will require further management. Our vet team would be happy to discuss this with any potential adopters. Chase can get stressed when visiting the vets, but the behaviour team will discuss how he is managed in this scary environment to help minimise his stress. He is a fabulous boy who is going to make a wonderful addition to the right home!

Are you right for Freda?

Freda is a cute little 4 year old Pug who can be a little worried at first but she soon warms up. We don't have any information about Freda's background, so we don't know how she will behave in a home. She is looking to work on her basic training, which may include house-training and being left home alone. She could be left home alone for up to 2-3 hours a day once this has been built up and she has settled in. This lovely lady is looking to have a secure and private garden of her own that can be accessed directly from the home.

Is Freda right for you?

Freda can be reactive to other dogs so is looking to continue her socialisation with other dogs. For this reason she is looking to be the only pet in the home. She does have a medical condition that she doesn't currently take any medication for but our vet team will discuss this in more detail with her potential family before adoption.

Are you right for Grace?

Grace is a gorgeous gentle-natured 2 year old Lurcher who is looking for a family who can help build her confidence. She is very sweet and friendly and enjoys meeting new people. Grace is able to share her home with calm dogs, as she can be unsure of dogs when they are OTT, as well as children 10 years and over.

Is Grace right for you?

This loving lady is able to be left alone for 3-4 hours a day in the home, but we do recommend building this up gradually whilst she is settling in. She can be worried by loud noises, e.g. busy traffic, so will need help building positive associations up out and about. Grace is so playful and bouncy and loves to snuggle up too!

Shy girl with a lot of love to give !

Rose came into the centre with other dachshunds from a multi dog household, and is currently sharing a kennel with the other two females. In the short time we have gotten to know all their little personalities Rose has shown to be a little more reserved than the others. Once she gets to know you she shows her playful cuddly side this just takes a little more patience to see.

History

A change in her previous owners circumstances has led Rose to need to be rehomed.

Re-homing Criteria

Rose is looking for a home that she can get all the love and time she needs. Rose ideally would want to go with one of her other dachshund friends she currently shares a kennel with as they bring out her more confident side. A must for these guys is a completely secure garden as they do not yet have any recall and there size means they would be able to fit through little gaps. We would be looking for someone who possibly works part time and is around a lot to give her stability. We are ideally looking for new owners that has had either previous experience or close knowledge of this breed. Dachshunds as a breed come with some health worries, due to this going forward  we would strongly suggest that she is insured with a reputable pet insurance company  and new owners will need fully understand the cost that can come with owning one of these dogs.

Breed: Basset x Collie
Sex: Male
Age: 1 years
Key information: Selective with dogs. Must be an only pet. Needs some training.
15month old Flash is a lovely boy who is looking for a new home as he has difficulties sharing his home with other dogs. He does have some doggy friends but he will take a disliking to certain dogs so we feel he would be best suited to a home with no other pets.
Flash is said to be good with children so could live with dog-savvy 10yr old+ children.
Flash will need a fully secure garden where he can have a good run around off lead. He needs a little help with his training but he is still young and seems eager to learn so he will make a great companion for someone who has the time and patience to work with him.

Please note Bonny is currently working through a special training plan and so is not available for adoption at this time – we will update her profile when we feel she is ready to find a new home.
Breed: Collie
Sex: Female
Age: 2 years
Key information: No cats. Selective with dogs. Needs some training.
We would like to introduce you to a special lady we currently have in our care. 2yr old Bonny is sadly here for her 2nd stay with us and is requiring a lot of dedicated training before she will be ready to find a new home.
Bonny finds the outside world very exciting and overwhelming, and as such, at the moment, even struggles with going for a walk! After a meeting with a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist, we suspect that Bonny has been suffering from Persistent Pseudopregnancy, we have given Bonny treatment for that and are now looking at any potential pain that may be exacerbating her behavioural traits.
At the time of writing, Bonny has been with us for 90 days and is enjoying her time at the centre and her training has come along so far from when she first arrived, but she is still a long way from being ready to find a new home.
