Rex came back to SSR due to a change in circumstances.
Rex is currently in a foster home, whilst waiting for his forever home. Rex is great in the home, he is very relaxed and chilled. Rex can be left on his own for a few hours and is non-destructive.
Rex is such a happy and friendly boy, he loves humans and loves affectionate. He loves nothing more than cuddling up with his foster mum and dad, he loves when they finish work and its time to snuggle on the couch. Rex is really engaged in the house, he sleeps all night in his bed and loves his lick mats. Rex is the perfect companion between enjoying his walks but also loves snuggling up with you.
Rex is in good health, with no concerns. Rex is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped
Rex pulls on the lead, which is being worked on. When he first moved to his foster home he found outside overwhelming and no engagement, this is gradually getting better with each walk. Rex's new home would need to keep working with him outside, with our support. Rex does have prey-drive so is being muzzled trained for outside.
Rex can be overwhelmed in the car and excitable.
A secure garden would be a plus.
Pet free home.

We were made aware of King being in a council pound. He looked so sad and had the sorest eyes we had ever seen, so we made the decision to help him and bring him to SSR.
King is currently in kennels. King is attending weekly classes after doing two weeks residential after Christmas. King's weekly classes are working around other dogs and progressing his training, any new home for King would need to commit to further training with our support.
King is the most goofiest and friendliest boy, he loves his humans! He loves belly rubs and a good scratch. King is a massive foodie, he is always looking for a biscuit, which helps with his training! King knows all his basic commands and is very engaged with you. King doesn't show much interest in toys in kennels, but during kennel breaks he loves playing especially a squeaky pig! In the kennels he enjoys chews, kongs and snuffle mats. King also has a crate in his kennels with his bed and blankets, which he loves and happily takes himself in there.
Whilst on kennel breaks King has always been clean in the house, he looves snoozing on the couch with you to and getting belly rubs. King has been in kennels for a long time so would somebody being around and building up his time left, as we are not sure what he will be like being left.
King is in good heath, when he came to SSR he had really sore eyes - he had double entropion which needed surgery. King had this surgery back in 2023 and has recovered really well, King will need no further surgeries.
King walks well on his lead, although is a strong boy. King isn't a dog who is ever going to walk miles, he is lazy! He enjoys his walks and loves going to secure fields, he always zooms about and enjoys a good sniff! King is dog reactive and although we are working on this, King would suit quieter areas to walk with an experinced handler. King also does not walk in the rain, as soon as the rain comes he his heading back to his kennel! typical staffie!
King is great in the car, he sometimes needs a little encouragement to get in but he is not bother in the car. King is quiet in the car and mostly takes it as an opportunity for a snooze, he usually wears a seatbelt in the back.
Bullbreed and dog reactivity experienced home
A secure garden
Committed to ongoing training and socialisation, behaviourist support will be provided.

Milo has been returned to SSR, due to his owner's ill health.
Milo is currently in a home, whilst waiting for his forever home. Milo is great in the home, he can be left on his own for a few hours and is non-destructive.
Milo is a happy, friendly staffie who loves his humans! He loves nothing more than cuddling up and getting belly rubs, he loves visitors coming to visit the house - his tail won't stop wagging. In typical staffie fashion Milo loves sunbathing but hates the rain. Milo loves his toys (especially squeaky ones) and sitting at the window watching the world go by. Milo is a typical happy all rounder staffie, who will make a fab companion. Milo isn't a fan of fireworks so is given tablets and a safe place, he is also crate trained but hasn't used one for a while.
Milo is in good health, he does have pancreatitis but there is no ongoing cost with this. Milo has a low fat diet to manage his pancreatitis, if it does flare up he is given steroids by the vets. Milo is neutered, vaccinated and chipped.
Milo walks well on his lead, he can be a bit pully to begin with but then calms down. Milo loves his walks, he loves being out and about and being able to get a good sniff. Milo isn't a fan of other dogs in his face, so is kept to the side and is well managed, he can occasionally give a bark.
Milo travels well in the car.
A secure garden would be a plus.

History... unfortunately Lucy's owner is no longer able to look after her.
Hi, my name is Lucy and I am about 7 years old, I love going for walks and I am very people friendly, but I can be a bit temperamental as far as other animals are concerned, so I don't want to share my home with other 4 legged friends.
I am well behaved girl who loves treats even more, I love my food and always clear my bowl.
I can be left in the house on my own and I don't destroy anything. I love snuggling up more than anything, I am big sook and also love play time.
Lucy is your typical happy go lucky & friendly staffie, she will make such a great companion 🤍

History... Buster has came to SSR from the pound and is currently in a foster home.
More about me...
Buster is 5 years old and a lovely, friendly and happy boy. Please see an update below from his foster mum: He's a big lad, who loves his treats and will do anything for a bit of cheese. He is a huge fan of primula on his lick mat and can often be found pacing around because his Kong is under the sofa, again! His favourite thing is being close to his humans, and will often lie or sit at your feet.
Buster has come on lots since being in our foster home. He will wait for his meals and is getting better at waiting for his treats. He still won't sleep in his crate or on his bed, and seems to prefer the floor, although at night he sneaks onto the sofa.
We have tried several different types of collar with Buster as he still quite pulley on the lead, but he is getting better. He is really enjoying his time at the Run free Fields , and is good at playing fetch.
Buster has not been assessed with cats or dogs yet, but we are hoping to get this done soon.
Buster has been left for a few hours and is not destructive at all in the house. He is toilet trained and has had no accidents in the house since his first week.
He is a very friendly dog and is very people orientated, and will offer stop so that all the humans can give him a pet when he is out on a walk.
