Bertie at Dogs Trust - West Calder

A Male Tan Crossbreed who is age 1 to 2

Not Good With Children

Shelter Location: Bentyhead West Calder EH55 8LE

Bertie is a 2 year old crossbreed. Bertie is a bouncy and active boy. He is a very energetic boy who enjoys going for long walks and splashing around puddles. He likes games where he can search for toys in the long grass.

Type of home needed

Bertie came to us as a stray and we have limited information on him, we will be looking for patient owners who have time to settle him in and continue with his basic training. He doesn't like being fussed over so would be best suited to an adult home with owners who will give him time to settle.

More about me

Bertie is looking to be the only pet in the home, he will make a good companion.

Minstrel at Greyhound Awareness League

A Male Black Lurcher who is age ~2

Good With Children Not Good With Other Pets Not Good With Dogs

Contact Shelter Adoption Form

Pet Location: Kennels

Minstrel is a lurcher, who is approximately two years old and is a gorgeous, affectionate and playful boy. In the home environment he is calm and relaxed. He loves cuddles and is fully housetrained.

Minstrel has had some basic training in the past but has also taken to clicker training with enthusiasm! He loves to interact with people, although he can be a little shy around men initially, and responds well to praise and encouragement. Minstrel bonds strongly with people and he does have some mild separation issues but these could be improved on greatly within a home environment.

We don’t think that Minstrel has had the opportunity to learn about things that he may encounter outside of the home environment and as a result finds this stressful and is not comfortable with other dogs. Minstrel would have to be the only dog in the home and he does not like cats.

Minstrel needs a special home with someone understanding who would take the time to help him gain confidence, to settle and enable him to carry on with his training plan; this would be fully supported by a Canine Behaviourist who currently is working with him. This is what she has to say about him;

‘Minstrel is a lovely boy who needs a calm environment to improve his confidence and to continue with his training. He took to agility and clicker training instantly and is improving greatly on his impulse control. Anyone who considers taking him into their home would see that with patience and understanding he has huge potential’.

Lily at Staffordshire Rescue Scotland

A Female White and brindle Staffordshire Bull Terrier who is age 6

Good With Children Not Good With Other Pets

Contact Shelter Adoption Form

Shelter Location: South Lanarkshire

We were initially told that Lily was not good with other dogs but while in foster we've found that it's mostly the intial greeting that causes her the most stress. It seems like she's just never been properly introduced to other dogs so we are working on her social skills. Once she gets walking she has been quite happy pottering along with a doggy friend. Lily's new owners will need to continue to work on this

Lily isn't used to a working home so she is going to prefer someone who is around more often than not and she would also prefer a quieter and calmer household. She is currently living with children and seems to enjoy their company but would need to be placed with dog savvy children over 5 years old as little ones might prove a little too exciting.

Lily's ideal home

- Children over 5 years old
- Preferably only dog although potentially live with a calm male dog following slow and repeated introductions
- No cats and will need to be carefully managed around live stock

Diesel at Dog Aid Society of Scotland

A Male Border Collie / Portuguese Water Dog Cross who is age 3 years old

Not Good With Children Not Good With Other Pets Good With Dogs

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 60 Blackford Avenue Edinburgh EH9 3ER

Diesel is a beautiful looking boy who is looking for a new forever home. He is a very loving and clever boy, however due to his strong herding instinct he does require an experienced Border Collie owner who is able to help Diesel redirect his herding instinct into a more desirable behaviour.

Diesel currently lives with a female dog and he gets on well with her. He can be reactive to male dogs especially if they are still entire. Diesel could potentially live with a friendly female, however he would also be happy as a single dog in the home. Diesel will chase cats therefore he is not suitable to live with them. Diesel is friendly dog who is happy for lots of attention from adults, however he is not great around younger children. He has never lived with children and he has previously nipped a child whilst trying to herd them. Therefore we are looking for a home where there are no children in the home or no visiting children. He would be best suited to living in the countryside where it is not busy with lots of children. Diesel may bark when visitors come to the door, however he will quickly settle. Diesel does need daily brushing and he is happy for you to do this however he can be a little unsure of his paws being touched. Diesel is happy to be left for a couple of hours at a time and is not destructive when left although he may occasionally rip up the mail through the door if he has the chance!

Diesel loves the car especially as he knows they generally lead to amazing walks where he can run around off lead and have lots of fun playing with a tennis ball. He has a good recall however occasionally may get distracted and may take a bit longer to come back. He walks well on a harness however very occasionally will pull if he is very excited. Diesel loves to swim and in his new home he would love to be able to continue this. His favourite toy is a tennis ball and will happily play fetch. Diesel enjoys a belly rub and having his back scratched and is a very affectionate boy. He can be unsure of loud noises such as fireworks and the hoover.

Due to Diesel’s herding behaviour he is looking for an experienced owner who understands the herding traits and has the experience to help teach Diesel another outlet for his herding. As he is a very active dog he will need long daily walks where he can burn off all of his energy. He is a very clever dog and would benefit from mental stimulation as well as physical exercise. Do you have a cozy spot on the sofa for this gorgeous boy?

Please think carefully before applying for Diesel and think how any changes in your circumstances may affect your ability to care for him. If you would like to be considered to re-home Diesel please click on our website www.dogaidsociety.com and then click on Diesel's page and then click on the green register your interest button and this will take you to our application form. Once you have completed and sent the form you will receive an automatic response to your email address that you have supplied. This means we have successfully received your application.

Shelter Location: Various Locations

Larry is a super house guest, walks nicely on a lead and is fine with a neutered male SBT he lives with. However he does need work outside with strange dogs so we are looking to place him as an only dog. He isn't keen on cats either.
He is great with kids and has been around kids who visit his fosterer of ages 3 and upwards. He came to us weak around his backend but has got much stronger now his muscles have built up and he is no longer malnourished. He doesn't need a lot of exercise and is happy with shorter walks although can manage further if it were needed on occasion. Larry is in good health and condition

Larry is an older male with some hind limb weakness though has really improved with regular exercise and a home environment.

He is fab with dogs and kids but doesn't seem good with cats. He is a very sweet dog who would make a fab companion. He is living with a neutered older male SBT at the moment

Bamber is a lovely chap who is typical of his breed. He loves to be on the go sniffing out new things and exploring.

Type of home needed
Bamber can live with children who are 10 years old or over and needs his own secure garden with a high fence. Bamber is ok with dogs but needs careful introductions as he is very over the top. Someone who is around for most of the day and who has previous experience of dogs like him would benefit him and help him settle.
