Breed: Molly
Sex: Female
Age: around 8 years
Key information: Beautiful friendly girl, loves people, can live with children over the age of 14 years old and needs to be the only pet in the home.
Molly is a sweet and sensitive girl who can be a little shy when you first meet her but once you make friends she wont want to leave your side. She loves her food and still like to play with a ball, although the pace is not what it used to be.
Molly arrived as a stray so we don’t have any history on her background, however what we can tell you is she is an amazing girl who makes you smile almost immediately. She appears to be house-trained and likes her home comforts. We don’t think Molly is used to traveling as she can seem a bit overwhelmed and vocal in the car.
Molly may not be too familiar with the world and may have previously lived on a farm so she will need new owners who can let her build confidence around walking in new areas. She prefers quiet places where she can take her time sniffing and exploring at her own pace.
Molly would like her new owners to be at home most of the day to keep her company, she wants to be the only pet in the house so she can have all your attention to herself, she loves a cuddle and will happily snuggle in for hours if you let her. She enjoys the garden and will happily find a sunspot and soak up some sunshine.
Molly has some muscle wastage in her back legs and needs to work on her fitness, to make her more comfortable she is currently on the supplement You Move daily.
if you think you could offer Molly a home please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Loyal Little Lad Looking for Love and Company!
Hamish is a sweet boy with a big personality and a lot of love to share. He has previously lived with children aged 8 and over and has been okay with cats, making him a great potential addition to a family home. He’s used to having a canine companion and generally gets along better with female dogs. However, he can be reactive towards other dogs when out on the lead.
Hamish is not a fan of being left alone and can be quite noisy when left without company. He thrives in a home where he has someone around for most of the day and/or a calm dog companion to help him feel secure. He enjoys his walks, but his recall is unreliable, so he’ll need to stay on the lead unless in a safely enclosed area.
History
Hamish struggles with being left alone which led his owner to make the difficult decision to find him a new home.
Re-homing Criteria
Hamish needs a home where someone is around most of the time as he becomes distressed when left alone. He would benefit greatly from having a friendly resident dog for companionship. He could live with respectful children and may be suitable for a home with a dog-savvy cat. A secure garden is essential, as his recall is very poor and he will need a safe space to explore and enjoy outdoor time.
This lovely wee man is full of heart and just needs the right home to help him feel safe and loved.

From Stray to Soulmate, Polly is ready to steal your heart!
Polly is a beautiful Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross who arrived with us as a stray, so we don’t have any background information about her past. What’s immediately clear, though, is just how affectionate and people-focused she is. She loves meeting new faces and thrives on human interaction. Polly is clean in her kennel, which suggests she may have previously lived in a home and been housetrained. She is not good with other dogs, and we don’t know how she would react around cats or children, though she may be suitable for a home with calm, respectful teenagers.
History
Polly came into the centre as a stray.
Re-homing Criteria
Polly’s rehoming needs are straightforward but important. She will require a secure garden to ensure she can enjoy off-lead time safely, away from other dogs. She must be the only dog in the household. While her suitability for living with children is uncertain, she may do well with older teens who understand how to behave around dogs. Polly is strong on the lead, so her adopter will need to be physically capable of managing her on walks and committed to working on her loose-lead training.
Polly is a lovely, loyal girl who just needs someone to take a chance on her – a perfect match for anyone with a soft spot for staffies!

Can live with
Children
Buddy is looking for an active owner who has had experience with nervous dogs before. He would like a home with a private and enclosed garden where he has a safe space to enjoy the outdoors and have someone who can be with him throughout the day, especially to begin with. He may suit living with dog savvy high school aged children but would prefer to be the only pet in the home.
Buddy is a shy boy who can be unsure of strangers so is looking for someone who can continue with his training and help build his confidence. He can find it hard being on his own so will need a patient and understanding owner who can help him understand that being left isn’t so scary.
He is a sweet, affectionate boy and once he knows you, loves being made a fuss of. He is full of energy and enjoys playing with his toys or going to our paddocks for a run and sniff about but he will need to be kept active and will probably love having an activity to do like hill walking or running. Whilst Buddy needs to be the only pet in the home, he has made a few doggy pals that he likes to play with. Buddy is a super boy who will make a lovely addition to the right home.

An active owner
Skye has now been matched to several applicants so we are no longer accepting new interest for her.
Skye is looking for an active owner who are committed to her ongoing training. She will require someone to keep her company for most of the day whilst she settles in. She may be able to live with high school aged children and possibly another dog.
Skye is a friendly, young girl who makes friend’s wherever she goes. She is a whirlwind of fun and excitement and, in true fashion to her breed, loves putting her nose to use sniffing out every interesting smell that she passes. Skye could become bored if her needs aren’t met so she requires an active family who are prepared for the amount of mental and physical stimulation she will require each day.
She is very food motivated which is helping with her ongoing training and her new owner will need to have the time and commitment needed to continue this. Skye enjoys running around with her doggy friends so she may like to live with another dog who matches her energy pending a successful introduction.
Skye has a heart condition. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Bouncy Bear!
This is the very handsome Bear! He is a big lad with a big personality and has energy for days.
If you are looking for a fun, energetic guy who is always up for an adventure then look no further.
Due to his unknown history we aren't sure what experience he has but with his full on nature we will be looking for a home without young children and without cats.
He isn't coping well with the kennel environment so it is difficult to say at the moment if he would happily live with another dog but as we get to know him more we will update his profile.
History
Bear came to us as a transfer from another rescue where he was handed in as a stray.
Re-homing Criteria
Bear will need an active, adult only home. He would love somewhere who has experience of owning young, active dogs and who understands the importance of mental stimulation. This boy doesn't have any recall training so a secure garden is a must. He may be able to live with another dog but we are looking for a cat free home.

History
Hugo came to us from another centre where he was handed in as a stray.

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.

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.

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.

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.
