An experienced owner

Connie is looking for an experienced owner who has had a staffie before and can keep her company for some of the day. She needs an adult only home where she will be the only pet.
Connie is a sweet girl with a loving nature who loves being around people. She is very affectionate and enjoys being made a fuss of and will usually be cuddling beside you or on your knee if given the chance! Connie can be a bit worried by fast movements so needs an understanding owner who will be patient with her and take things at her own pace, but she is very eager to please. Connie likes going for her walks but isn’t overly active and would much rather lounge in the sun. She is sure to make a loving and loyal companion.

About Hughie

Hughie is looking for his forever home after his owners could no longer care for him. He is a typical terrier that just loves to explore every nook and cranny he can.
He is a very lovable wee lad and although can get on well with other dogs we think he would be best suited to be the only dog in the home so he can get all the attention. He is very bright and has worked his charm on all of those that have met him.  He walks well on the lead, travels well and is happy to go with the flow. He is a cracking wee dog that just soaks up all the love from everyone he meets. He will need a home with a secure garden where he can't escape from. If you have a Hughie sized space in you life please apply via our online form or if you have completed one recently get in touch

Are you right for Bree?

Beautiful Bree is a 3 year old girl who loves to play with her ball! She is a friendly lady who loves meeting people and is really playful! She would prefer to be the only pet in the home but could make dog friends on her walks as she does enjoy the company of some dogs, but she can be quite OTT off-lead. Bree has shown that she isn't comfortable around children so is looking for an adult only home, and this does include visitors. Bree has also been trained to wear a muzzle during stressful situations, which also includes when fast-moving things pass her such as cyclists, or children. This lovely lurcher would like direct access to a private secure garden that has a 6ft fence so she can zoom around to her heart's content!

Is Bree right for you?

Bree has learnt quite a lot already whilst working with our training team during her time at the centre including focus work and settling. Bree isn't a fan of being left in the home by herself, so she does need a family who are able to be at home with her, and any time that she is left alone should be built up to very gradually over time. In her previous home, she struggled with settling so she would be best suited to an experienced family who can help give her time and space to settle in. This girl is brilliant and very loving, she also has a glowing report from her previous foster home. She will require multiple meets at the centre so she can become acquainted with her family before adoption. Bree is a wonderful girl who is lots of fun and will make a great addition to a home, but will require a caring and kind family.

Are you right for Hunter?

Hunter is a hyper 6 year old Husky who would love an active household with access to a secure garden with a minimum 6ft fence. He has been known to be quite the Houdini and can jump quite high, as well as open doors himself so he may need to be managed in the home and garden to prevent any escapes! Happy go lucky lad Hunter could share his home with another dog, but does prefer dogs that are a similar size, as well as children aged 10 years and over.

Is Hunter right for you?

This handsome lad knows quite a few party tricks and enjoys making new friends. He is house-trained and can be left at home for 2-3 hours by himself, but we would recommend building this time up gradually. Hunter is pretty playful and his favourite game is tug of war - he is going to make a wonderful addition to a home.

Are you right for Hunter?

Handsome Hunter is a happy 3 year old Bull Terrier who loves to make new friends. He loves to play with other dogs so would enjoy socialising with other dogs on his walks and could share his home with another dog. He could also live with children aged 14 years and over. Hunter is looking to have direct access into a secure garden with a 5ft minimum fence. He could be left alone for a couple of hours as he has been comfortable with this in his foster home, but we do recommend building this up gradually so that he isn't overwhelmed.

Is Hunter right for you?

This cheeky chap loves to eat anything left lying around so his new family will need to manage this in the home and out on walks. Hunter does have a medical condition that our veterinary department will happily discuss in more detail. Hunter is an affectionate lad who will nudge you for more attention as he loves a fuss and enjoys when Alexa plays his favourite song!

​More about me... 
Daisy is such a loveable and friendly girl, Daisy is house trained and sleeps all night, she loves a good cuddle.

Daisy is an active girl, in part from her collie traits and will suit a home who will provide mental and physical stimulation, we would love to see her out walking in the countryside. Daisy loves toys and would play all day if she could, it doesn't matter what toy - tug toys, balls, soft toys ect! 

Daisy knows all her basic commands such as sit, down, leave, stay, spin - she is extremely clever. She is excited when a visitor initially comes in but after a quick hi, she is bringing them a toy to play with.

Daisy hasn't been used to cars so we are currently working on building up the duration in cars and doing short journeys. This is improving each week. 

Foster Update

For the most part, I think she’s pretty much everything someone could want in a dog.  Think she would adapt to most circumstances.  Obviously not going to be playing with other dogs, but it is the most manageable reactivity I’ve ever experienced. With consistency and a bit of time and patience and she’ll be the most fantastic dog.  Such a sweet girl, and you can see she’ll give you love, loyalty and lots of fun in spades.

Dennis is looking for an experienced owner who have dealt with nervous dogs before. He would like someone home with him all day to keep him company whilst he settles in. Dennis needs a home with a private garden so he can enjoy the outdoors when feeling overwhelmed. He could live with older teenagers and potentially with a dog savvy cat.
Dennis is a sweet and affectionate boy when he knows you but can be worried by new people and environments. When he feels comfortable, you will get to see his affectionate, fun and playful side. He may like to go for long walks in the future once he has settled well in his new home, but he does need very patient and understanding owners who are committed to giving him all the time he needs to feel safe and comfortable. He does like to be kept mentally stimulated so can be kept entertained at home with some activity and sniffy games. Dennis has made some doggy friends whilst here and would benefit from having confident and sociable walking buddies that he can learn from when exploring new places. Dennis will be a very rewarding boy and loyal companion for the right owner.

Mona is looking for an experienced owner who has previous knowledge of handling a nervous dog. She needs an adult only home where she won’t need to spend time with children, and she would like the be the only pet in her home. She needs to have company for most of the day, and she would like to have her own private and secure garden so she can still enjoy the outdoors even when she is feeling worried. Mona requires a quiet home away from the city centre.
Mona is a very nervous and anxious girl who is desperate to find an understanding owner who can give her the stable home she needs. She is sweet and affectionate when around people that she knows, but is extremely wary of new people, so she will require patient owners who can visit her several times to build a bond with her. She can become overwhelmed and panicked when feeling anxious, particularly in busy environments, so she needs understanding and committed owners who will build her confidence in quieter areas first, until she is ready to be exposed to more of the world. Mona is a playful girl who loves running around after squeaky toys. She also enjoys keeping her mind busy by playing enrichment games, especially when it involves food. Mona will be a very rewarding and loving companion for an owner who is prepared to help her reach her full potential.

Fluffy is looking for an active and experienced collie owner who has a home with a garden. She may suit a home with dog savvy teenagers and could potentially live with another dog if introductions go well. She gets very anxious when left alone so needs a home where she will have a lot of company.
Fluffy is a sweet girl who loves being around people and is always happy to make new friends. She has a lot of energy and would suit an owner who enjoys running, and she would benefit by being involved in an activity like Agility or scent work. She loves enrichment and anything that stimulates her mentally. She gets on with other dogs and likes meeting up with her doggy friends for a nice sniffy walk or a good run around. Fluffy does need to continue her training so needs an owner who is prepared to work on this with her, but she is sure to be a fantastic pet for the right family.

Are you right for Daisy?

Daisy is a 3-year-old French Bulldog cross. She is a sweet girl who loves to be around her people. Daisy is looking for a home with children aged 16 and above and no other pets.

Is Daisy right for you?

Daisy is a fantastic girl who is full of personality and is great fun to be around! Daisy is deaf and has been since birth, so she is looking for experienced owners who have experince of owning deaf dogs and using hand signals in training. Daisy is worried when passing cars, traffic and busy environments and much prefers to go for walks in peaceful areas where she can enjoy all the amazing smells. When on walks Daisy is happy to pass other dogs, but prefers spending time with her family. Daisy has shown guarding behaviours in the home, so is looking for owners who understand this and know how to manage this behaviour. Due to this Daisy would like to have a separate area in the home where she can relax and unwind without being interupted, especially when she is sleeping. Daisy is fully housetrained and is happy to be left home alone for a couple of hours, and is good traveling in the car. As Daisy cant be off her lead in a public place, she certainly knows how to make the most out of having her own garden, if she is not zooming around from one end to the other she can usually be found soaking up some sun rays having a siesta in the warm weather. Daisy is a sweet and loving girl and will make an amazing companion, there is never a dull moment when she is around! AWE licence number 176240 by West Lothian Council.

Are you right for Betsy?

Beautiful little Betsy has found herself in our care through no fault of her own. She is a 9 year old Frenchie who is super sweet and loves nothing more than getting cuddles. Despite being 9, she is still a wee spring chicken as she loves to bounce and zoom around! Betsy is able to share her home with other dogs and/or cats. She is also able to live with children aged 5 years and over.

Is Betsy right for you?

Betsy hasn't really been off-lead before so we would recommend that she is kept on lead whilst out and about, especially whilst learning recall. She is quite low-maintenance and laid back around the house and could be left for 3-4 hours a day, as long as this is built up to gradually. Betsy does have some skin allergies that do require management but our veterinary team will discuss this in more detail with her future family.
