Our Brilliant Blaze

Blaze came into the centre with his brother Taz, through no fault of their own.

History

Blaze came into the center with his brother Taz due to their previous owners ill health.

Re-homing Criteria

Blaze came to us with his brother Taz. They have not always lived together and we would happily rehome them separately as long as there was a well established dog in the house. Although Blaze has never lived with children he does enjoy when they come up to say hello, we would consider rehoming to families with dog savvy children of 10years +. Blaze loves his walks so his new family would ideally be quite active , he adores all the new sights and smells a walk gives him. Once he knows you his recall is really good also, but we would always recommend not letting any rescue dog off the lead for a few weeks. Blaze is quite happy in the house and would suit someone who works part time . Blaze has never lived with cats so we could not say how he would be sharing his house with them .He loves to be outside so ideally he would have a fully secure garden of fencing of at least 5foot.  Could you have a Blaze size spot on the sofa ?

The famous Moffat Dogs!!

Finally after 6 months we feel these guys are ready to find their forever homes. A lot of work has gone into the 6 dogs that were picked up as strays near Moffat in July 2023. With the help of Dumfries & Galloway Police and Lee Heron, of Lost Dogs Dumfries and Galloway, these dogs have been given a second chance at life.

It has been a huge challenge for such a small organisation to deal with 6 feral dogs all at the same time, a challenge many rescues would not have undertaken, but the team at the centre rose to the challenge and we now feel the time has come to look for new homes for them all.

Due to the background of these dogs we will be looking for very specific homes, any applications received will be strongly vetted for suitability. Potential homes will need to have experience of under-socialised dogs, preferably large breeds, have a large fully enclosed garden with solid fencing of 6ft + as they have all attempted to clear our 7ft secure paddock fencing.

Any potential homes will need to be extremely patient and understanding with their training going forward.

We believe them to be around 2 years old.

History

These dogs came to us as unclaimed strays

Re-homing Criteria

Any potential adopters of these dogs must be prepared to regularly visit the centre multiple times a week to develop a bond , this is a must and non-negotiable , so please keep this in mind when applying especially if you are not local to the centre.

We believe these guys to have only lived in a multi dog, kennel situation with little social interaction from people. They would all benefit from a confident, well socialised, neutered dog in the household of the opposite sex. The improvement in these guys since being with us is nothing short of amazing in such a short time, but there is still a long road ahead and any adopters would need to be extremely patient and understanding going forward with their training, as it is unlikely they would ever be an average pet dog.

We will not be considering homes with children under 18yrs or cats.

A home where someone is around most of the time is important, and we are looking for very quiet homes and locations as they would not cope in a busy environment.

A totally secure garden is essential with solid fencing, not mesh or wire, of at least 6ft as they have all attempted to clear our 7ft fencing around the paddock area.

Each dog has their own separate needs and personality and we will be reading through all applications to see if any would match a specific dogs requirements. When completing the Homefinding Questionnaire, please give as much information as possible on your experience and circumstances. These dogs have come on leaps and bounds since coming to the centre, but any potential adopters will need to understand that leaving us will be a massive set back to their development , but this does need to happen so they can move forward. Adopters need to understand that it will be a long road moving forward, and will not be a easy task, but the reward when they are settled would be second to none!

If you feel you have the right experience, environment, time and patience to give one of our Moffat dogs a home please complete our Homefinding Questionnaire and we will be in touch if we feel you'd be a good match.

Lovely Lottie !

Our lovely Lottie is looking for someone to help her learn the world is not as scary as she thinks!

History

Lottie came into the centre with her sister Lola due to a change in their owners circumstances.

Re-homing Criteria

Lottie is a special little lady who before coming to us lead a very sheltered life. Lottie was born and bred in a very rural location, rarely leaving where she lived. Due to this she can become quite stressed in new situations and shows this by barking. Understandably, she is finding life here at the centre overwhelming, so we have been spending extra time with her and her sister to help them learn that the world is not as scary as they think! Lottie will need an experienced, patient, home who understands the workings of a collie brain. A home with someone around most of the time, who can take the time to bring this girl out of her shell. A fully secure garden is a must, with fencing of at least 6ft so Lottie can be safe and secure in the garden.  Lottie would benefit from living with a calm well established dog in the household who she could learn from. We would be looking for a rural location as she would not cope well with a busy town lifestyle with lots of comings and goings.

Please keep in mind that you will need to come and visit Lottie multiple times for her to get know you before she will be rehomed.

Could you be the one to help Lottie find her courage!

Re-homing Criteria

Ollie is a wonderful lad who came to us through no fault of his own. He was originally meant to be a working collie, but he decided this life was not for him! Ollie has lived outside most of his life, so he will need help with basic housetraining. Ollie travels well in a car and would love nothing more than to join a new family in lots of wonderful weekend adventures! He really loves days out on the beach chasing his favourite ball! Ollie does not like to share his space with cats, but has been used to being around other dogs. With gentle introduction at the centre he may be able to live with a calm already established dog in the home. We would ask that any potential owner has a secure garden with fencing of 6ft so Ollie has a safe space to play. Ollie has never been around young children, so we would be looking at homes with children 10+years.
