Names: Bailey & Beau
Age: 9 years
Gender: Male (neutered)
Breed: Pug
Size: Small
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Bailey and Beau are a pair of bonded, nine year-old pug brothers, who came into rescue last week after the sad passing of their mummy. The boys are absolutely adorable and just love everyone they meet! Although 9 years old isn’t a big age, they lived with an older lady and are like little old men and just need a cosy quiet retirement home to live out their days. They both walk nicely on the lead and love a bit of a potter, but wouldn’t really be up for very long walks and would actually be quite happy just pottering around a nice secure garden. They are both neutered and up to date with their vaccinations. Little Beau has dry eye, which is managed with twice daily drops, and Bailey needs some special lotion for his skin, but neither are anything expensive and apart from that they are both in good health. The boys are good with children and fine with other dogs, but we are looking for a child and dog free home where they will be loved beyond measure. If you have a double pug shaped hole in your heart and home please pop on to our website and complete a 'pre-adoption application form' (https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org/dog-application-form).
(Please note Bailey and Beau are looking to be rehired together and a homecheck and adoption donation of £500 applies).
Thank you!

Name: Banks
D.O.B: November 2020
Gender: Male (neutered)
Breed: Beagle
Size: Small-medium
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Banks is a beautiful Beagle who sadly found himself in rescue after his family had their second baby and felt they were no longer able to give him the time and attention he needed. Banks is the most perfect little doggo and, although he can be a little shy around new people initially, it is just shyness and he doesn’t have a bad bone in his little body.
Sadly he came into rescue with a few undisclosed health issues, but these have now all been dealt with by our vet. Banks had had an operation for cherry eye as a puppy, but this was unsuccessful and the condition reappeared three weeks later. For some reason this was not dealt with again and when Banks arrived with us his eye was very sticky and sore. We have now had the gland permanently removed (as opposed to stitched in), so it will not return again and we also had the vet carry out a tear flow test to find out the reason for his sticky sore eye. This showed him to have dry eye, which is very easy to deal with moving forwards and he will just need a lubricating gel put in the affected eye twice a day. Banks also arrived with a nearly constant head shake which was being caused by a very itchy, untreated yeast infection. Whilst under sedation we had our vet flush out and treat his ears with a long lasting gel and he is already showing a massive improvement.
Bank suffered from SRMA (Steroid Responsive Meningitis) as a pup, but is now in perfect health and, with his eye and ears now sorted, he’s ready to move on and live his best life in a home that can give him the love and attention he deserves.
Banks has lived with a very small child (baby to 18 month) and is great with other dogs as you can see from the photos of him playing with Ollie.
He is house trained and lead trained and he’s also happy in a crate, if needed. He travels beautifully in the car, was very polite at the vets (despite his obvious discomfort) and has a waggy tail for anyone he meets!
Before applying to adopt Banks, please read the information below to ensure you are able to meet the needs of his breed:“Beagles make very good family pets, but they may not be well-suited to households where people spend long periods away from home. Beagles are loyal, affectionate, and love to be involved in what's going on around them. Beagles are also very social and people-oriented, and they may not be happy living alone or in the yard by themselves. They like to be part of the family and may want to be on your lap while you watch TV or in your room while you sleep. If you have another beagle, that can also help keep them company. Beagles are also very active dogs with a lot of energy and stamina, so they may suit families with an active lifestyle who enjoy the outdoors. They need plenty of exercise and a garden with a sturdy fence to keep them safe. Beagles are also master escapists, so you should make sure your garden is completely escape proof”
We will be looking for an active home for Banks or a home where someone is about most of the time. He can (and would love to) live with another dog, but can also be an only pet. Banks is up to date with vaccinations and flea and worming and is castrated and microchipped.
If you feel you can offer Banks the home he deserves, please pop on to our website and complete a pre-adoption application form (

Name: Mily
D.O.B: 15/04/2023
Gender: Female
Breed: Mixed
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Meet Mily!
Mily was found in a cemetery in Romania as a tiny baby with her 5 siblings and rescued by the lovely lady we work with out there.
Sadly the pups all caught distemper and 2 of the 6 did not survive. For some reason these little souls were overlooked by all the other rescues and as a result have spent the first year of their lives living in a stable.
When we were asked to take them, the answer was obviously yes, as despite their initial shyness these pups are just perfect!
Mily is definitely the most confident of the group and is always the first to welcome any visitors! She has the most amazing smile and just loves attention from anyone!
Mily is neutered, fully vaccinated to UK standards and although, already tested for brucellosis in Romania, will have a second UK laboratory test before bring rehomed (as some UK vets will not accept the results of the Romanian test).
Mily is a large small or a small medium (depending on your point of view!) and would fit well into many homes.
As she has not experienced much of the outside world, she needs a family that will not rush her and will allow her to take things at her own pace - in return she will love you unconditionally for the rest of her life!

Bonnie a lot more confident than a few of the others and is always one of the first to welcome any visitors. After a few seconds of shyness she remembers that she just loves attention and is straight in there for a fuss!

Meet Tina!
Tina was found in a cemetery in Romania as a tiny baby with her 5 siblings and rescued by the lovely lady we work with out there.
Sadly the pups all caught distemper and 2 of the 6 did not survive. For some reason, these little souls were overlooked by all the other rescues and as a result have spent the first year of their lives living in a stable.
When we were asked to take them, the answer was obviously yes...as despite their initial shyness these pups are just perfect!
In Romania, Tina was the shyest of the sibling group, but since arriving in the UK she has come on in leaps and bounds. After a few minutes of shyness, she remembers that she just loves attention and is straight in there for a fuss and a cuddle!
Tina is neutered, fully vaccinated to UK standards and, although already tested for brucellosis in Romania, will have a second UK laboratory test before being rehomed (as some UK vets will not accept the results of the Romanian test).
Tina is the largest of the siblings, but still only what we'd class as a small-medium and she would fit well into many homes. As she has not experienced much of the outside world, she needs a family that will not rush her and will allow her to take things at her own pace - in return she will love you unconditionally for the rest of her life!

Name: Ollie
D.O.B: 01/05/2020
Gender: Male (neutered)
Breed: Mixed
Size: Medium tall)
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Ollie came to us as rescue back up after seeing an appeal as he was passing between foster homes (5 different homes in 7 months) and he needed some stability.
Ollie is just the most amazing dog ever! He adores everyone from the second he meets them and is a big snuggle-bug. He just wants to share all his love and attention with everyone he meets. Ollie is known as the ‘Puppy Godfather’ as he is the first dog to greet and welcome new arrivals to the rescue to show them the ropes. He gets on well with new dogs/puppies of any age and is always ready to go make friends with them. Ollie is house, crate and lead trained and is so ready to have his own family to shower with love.
Ollie is the absolute best dog around other dogs when he is off the lead. He is quite submissive, so when he is on a lead he gets fearful and this has led to reactivity to other dogs whilst on-lead. Ollie has worked on this previously, with good progress, but would need a family who are willing to continue to work on this with him to help him get over his fear.
Ollie LOVES other dogs and would be over the moon to live in a house with another dog. Due to Ollie’s submissive nature, he would not fare well in a home with a dominant dog, but would love to live with a young and playful doggo (any size) who he could be best friends for live with! Ollie has not been cat tested and would be best in a child-free home.
As Ollie has been to-and-fro quite a lot over his short life we want to make sure this time is forever. We would therefore like him to have several meet-and-greets to make sure of this, and therefore potential adopters would ideally be placed within easy travelling distance of our rescue in Ayr, Scotland. We think he would fare better in a more rural location to help him flourish.
If you think you could be the family Ollie has been waiting patiently for, please complete a pre-adoption application form at the link below.

Name: Travis
D.O.B: 30/10/2017
Gender: Male
Breed: Mixed
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Travis is a mixed breed (we think with some GSD) from Romania born on the 30 Oct 2017 and came into rescue along with his 2 siblings and has not been rehomed with them yet due to his disability. He has been with us in the UK since May 2018 and now we would love to find a very special home for this very special boy.
Travis was born with issues in his hips and the many vets in Romania diagnosed many different things but it was only when he came into our care and seeing our vets (and having more X-Rays) that we confirmed a diagnosis.
Travis does not have any hip sockets – they never formed. So his hips do not stay in place and move about which he moves. He has never needed any pain relief and is a strong dog and copes very well and isn’t in any pain. Initially our vets said he should be PTS but after seeing him playing very happily, in no pain and with the strength that he has in his front end he agreed he has a great quality of life and deserves a chance to live it to the full. He loves running round the garden and playing so needs a nice big garden and lots of space. We do need his home to have an understanding vet who is willing to work with us if necessary for any decisions on his future treatment and this would be part of our adoption contract.
Fabulous with other dogs especially boy dogs. He loves to play out with the boys.
Travis can be a funny with new people and can be a bit barky. It doesn’t take him long to warm up and we think it’s a bit of territory guarding as he is fine when out and about.
Travis walks fine on a lead and travels well in the car and has been well behaved at the groomers.
Travis would be perfectly happy in a home where he never goes for a walk as long as he has a big garden to run around and people to give him love and attention. He is a very sweet soul.
If you this you can offer Travis the extra special home and family he needs we would really like to hear from you. Please pop onto our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. Please note a home check and adoption donation will apply x

Name: Zara
D.O.B: 27/06/2019
Gender: Female
Breed: German Shepherd
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Zara is a pure bred GSD bread in Romania born on the 27 June 2019 and came into rescue due to her disability. She has been with us in the UK since November 2019 and now we would love to find a very special home for this very special girl.
Zara was born with issues in her hips and the many vets in Romania diagnosed many different things but it was only when she came into our care and seeing our vets (and having more Xrays) that we confirmed that she has the same issues as one of our other wonky dogs.
Zaras hip and ball joints did not form properly so do not stay in place so they move about which she moves. Even though Zara is quite long and tall she still copes well and isn’t in any pain. She loves running round the garden and playing so needs a nice big garden and lots of space. We do have some wheels that can fit her, however as she isn’t actually paralysed her back legs don’t bend and they point forward so don’t work well in a typical cart but there may be different options that can be explored. We do need her home to have an understanding vet who is willing to work with us if necessary for any decisions on her future treatment.
Zara adores loves everybody. She gets on great with most dogs especially little dogs and could potentially live with another small dog. She is not as happy with bigger dogs and can sometimes growl and snap but will never start a fight. She could also live with children and she is a lovely soul.
Zara does have a sensitive stomach which is a common problem in GSDs. She has had lots of tests and there is nothing wrong but it can be a problem keeping weight on her as she doesn’t process food properly. She is on a special diet and takes probiotics at the moment and we are also about to try her on a raw diet to see if this helps. As a result she is skinny. This is a balance for Zara as being lighter helps her get about and having too much weight on her may limit her mobility. Zara is booked in for a dental cleaning later this month as she does have a tendency to hoover up food and sometimes a bit of poop!
Zara is fine on a lead, travels great in the car and happy at the groomers.
Zara would be perfectly happy in a home where she never goes for a walk as long as she has a big garden to run around and people to give her love and attention. She will sit and ask for attention as she loves a cuddle.
If you this you can offer Zara the extra special home and family she needs we would really like to hear from you. Please pop onto our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. Please note a home check and adoption donation will apply x

Names: Tessa & Tosca
D.O.B: 20/06/2018
Gender: Female (neutered)
Breed: Mixed
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Please note that Tessa & Tosca must live in a child free, pet free and dog free home and would ideally be rehomed together.
Tessa and Tosca were in a shelter together for 3 years before coming under our care. During that time they were well cared for, but did not receive as much human attention as they perhaps needed. As a results they came to us as very timid pups and have both been adopted separately and come back to us as they were too timid apart to live in a home. We would therefore love to see these girls adopted together as they rely on each other for their confidence. At the rescue they enjoy playing, sleeping and cuddling. Tessa and Tosca have done a little lead training at the rescue, but we would need a family willing to put in the time and effort to gain their trust and work on their training slowly and with our support. We know it’s a big ask to find these two a home together, but we like to dream big for our dogs. If you have the time, patience and love for these girls please pop onto our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form.

Name: Mischu
D.O.B: 01/05/2012
Gender: Male (neutered)
Breed: Mixed
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Please note Mischu must live in a dog and pet free home.
Mischu came to us with his sister Iza after spending 8 years in a shelter with very little human socialisation. When they came to us they were very scared and shy dogs. He is very bonded with his sister, but isn’t keen on other dogs so if they are rehomed separately it needs to be into a pet and dog free home. When they arrived they were both very scared of everything, but over time have relaxed into life here and become firm favourites with our volunteers. Mischu is the most confident of the two, but his little sister Iza definitely wears the pants in their relationship. Mischu loves doing the zoomies, snoozing, food and a cuddle. He will need work on lead training so his family will need a secure home and garden to begin his training. If you can offer him love, comfort and patience we would really like to hear from you. Please pop onto our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. Please note a home check and adoption donation will apply x

Name: Iza
D.O.B: 01/05/2012
Gender: Female (neutered)
Breed: Mixed
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Please note, Iza must live in a dog and pet free home.
Before coming into our rescue Iza had spent her entire life living in a shelter. She had been rescued as a puppy (along with her brother) by a well-meaning rescuer, but 8 years later was still sitting in a pen having never known much social interaction. As a result she arrived with us as a very timid little thing. Over time her confidence has grown and she is now an absolute delight. She loves a good fuss and cuddle and despite being much smaller than her brother, she definitely is the boss out of the two. She is a friendly lady and is happy with new people pretty quickly after being introduced and she really loves to snuggle. She will need work on lead training so her family will need a secure home and garden to begin her training. If you can offer her love, comfort and patience we would really like to hear from you.
