Meet Brodie – Your Cheeky, Loyal Little Sidekick
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Date of Birth: 01 September 2022
Size: Small
Health: Vaccinated, flea/worm treated, neutered, and comes with his pet passport
Brodie is a sweet, cheeky young dog who’s had a loving home for just over a year. Sadly, due to no fault of his own, he’s now looking for a new family to call his forever.
This little lad is bursting with character and loves to be outdoors exploring (unless it’s raining — then he’d much prefer to cuddle up inside with you!). Brodie is an active, curious boy who will thrive in a home full of fun, play, and stimulation.
Brodie’s Personality & Needs - oung, energetic, and playful
Loves sofa cuddles and following his humans around the house
Toilet trained and sleeps happily downstairs overnight
Big fan of toys and garden patrols — always on the lookout!
Can be left alone for a few hours on occasion
Brodie is very interested in other dogs when on a lead and can become overexcited, sometimes doing a bit of lunging. He currently wears a headcollar to help with his lead training. With calm, controlled greetings he’s absolutely fine with other dogs and loves to play. His new family should be prepared to continue his training and help him improve around other dogs — he just needs some patience and guidance to reach his full potential.
Brodie’s Perfect Home An active, experienced family who can give him plenty of stimulation A quieter area without too many passing dogs No young children or cats A family willing to continue his training, especially on the lead and around other dogs With the right home, Brodie will make the most loyal, loving companion. He’s affectionate, playful, and happiest when he’s with his people.

Meet Ronnie – Waiting to find his best friend
Location: Ayr
Date of Birth: 27 Sept 2023
Found in the middle of no-where with a very badly infected leg 2x3 times the size it should be. Founded by a group of rescuers in Romania and had his leg amputated but they had no-wheer to put him so he ended up living in a van for three weeks and we believe in that time that his dressings were not changed so by the time he found his way to our partner rescue he again had a very bad infection. With our support we worked with local vets to treat the infection and complete X-rays to ensure all was ok as he still had a stump. Unfortunately it appears that there was still a sharp shard of bone so this required another operation to remove this and make Ronnie much more comfortable.
He appears to have no ongoing issues now and loves to run around and play like he was never injured in the first place and shows no mobility issues. He is not yet lead trained so his family will need to have a secure garden (without steps for access) where they can work on this in a safe environment and be prepared to manouver him around and bring him back into the house but he is currently coming in and getting into his crate himself. He is a little shy and nervous but we believe that in a home with 1:1 focus and attention he will come along brilliantly.
We are looking for a child free home.
He can live with another young female dog.
Also looking for a quiet home so one without too much comings and goings. He is really playful and runs around the garden and loves a good chase. Think you’re the one for Ronnie

Meet Dave – From Lost Soul to Loving Friend
Location: Ayr
Date of Birth: 2 Sept 2020 (though we think he may be a bit younger!)
Dave’s journey hasn’t been easy. He was picked up by dog catchers in Romania, absolutely traumatised and suffering from a severe skin condition that left him with bald patches. At first, we weren’t sure if his coat would ever grow back — but now he’s sporting the most wonderful fluffy fur, almost like a little afro! He’s not too keen on being brushed just yet, but with time and trust we know he’ll learn that pampering can be nice too. When Dave first came to us, he was frightened of everything. With patience and kindness, he’s begun to blossom.
With our General Manager, he’s transformed — bouncing around happily, chasing balls, and showing his playful, affectionate side. Around people he doesn’t know well he can still be nervous, but once he trusts you, he’s a delight. Dave’s Ideal Home Dave is looking for a quiet, patient home where he can continue to build confidence at his own pace.
He’ll need: A secure garden while he learns about the outside world • An adult-only household (or one with older children)
A family who understands he won’t be ready for walks right away but is willing to put in the time and love to help him grow
Companionship — he’s great with other dogs and could happily live with a canine friend No cats please – Dave has not been cat tested
Dave has shown he can be handled well at the vets, and with 1:1 love and reassurance, we know he’ll continue to thrive. He’s affectionate, playful, and has so much potential — he just needs that special someone who can see past his shy beginnings and help him shine
Think you could be the one for Dave? Please visit www.savingandrehomingstrays.org to complete an adoption application. A home check and adoption donation will apply. Let’s help Dave find the forever family he’s been waiting for.

Meet Kobi – A playful pup
Location: Ayr
Date of Birth: 10th December 2024
Kobi is Tiggy’s last remaining puppy and he’s grown into quite the handsome young man. The biggest of his litter, Kobi is already larger than his mum but is only expected to medium in size once fully grown. When Kobi first arrived, he was the most timid of his siblings – shy, nervous, and unsure of the world.

Kobi’s Highlights: 1. Friendly and sweet-natured 2. Crate trained and clean in the house 3. A cuddle monster once he knows you 4. Good with people – just needs gentle introductions 5. . Kobi has been very well socialised with other dogs and has now overcome his initial wariness of strange dogs 6. Hasn’t started lead training yet – but he’s smart and eager to learn
Kobi's Perfect Home: 1. An active family who can offer fun, structure, and regular exercise 2. A home with a secure garden for zoomies and outdoor time 3. Can be rehomed with children who will be respectful of his space 4. Someone ready to guide him through basic training and socialisation Kobi isn’t destructive – just a lovable goof who wants to be included, cuddled, and gently shown the ropes.

Name: Bentley
D.O.B: 05/08/2023
Gender: Male
Breed: Mixed breed
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Meet Bentley - the gentle boy with a heart full of love! Bentley is a handsome and lovable large/medium boy who is looking for his forever home.
Bentley may be a big boy in size, but his heart is even bigger! Bentley’s journey has not been an easy one. Rescued as a puppy, he spent his early years in a Romanian vet clinic after being diagnosed with diabetes. Despite his condition, Bentley remained a sweet and affectionate pup, but sadly, no rescues offered to take him on due to the ongoing medical costs. That’s when we stepped in and brought him to the UK in June 2024, giving him the second chance he truly deserves.
Since arriving in the UK, Bentley has flourished! With regular vet visits and medication, his diabetes is now stable. He is such a trooper and takes his daily medications and regular blood tests in stride. Bentley is THE most patient, gentle, and loving dog you’ll ever meet, and his calm, positive nature makes him a joy to be around.
Bentley’s diabetes does require him to follow a strict diet to keep his glucose levels stable. His adoptive family will need to commit to maintaining this routine, but Bentley’s loving nature and wonderful personality make it all worthwhile. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and has also lived alongside cats in the vets, so he’d be happy in a multi-pet household. His favourite things include sunbathing, cuddling with his human friends, and being the centre of attention (he’s quite the charmer!).
Bentley has won the hearts of everyone who meets him, and it's impossible not to smile when you see his sweet face. Despite his remarkable qualities, Bentley has had little interest from potential adopters. We believe this is largely due to his ongoing medical condition even though he rarely needs to see a vet now that his condition is well under control. As a charity, we are committed to continuing Bentley’s insulin medication costs for as long as necessary, but what he truly needs now is a family who will appreciate his kind spirit and give him the love he deserves.
Please note that Bentley would thrive in an adult-only home where he can live safely with his strict diet and no temptation for food outside of his prescribed meals.
If you think you can offer Bentley the loving home he deserves, please pop on to our website and complete a pre-adoption application at https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org/dog-application-form. (Please note a home check and adoption donation will apply).
We know Bentley has so much love to give, and with your help, he’ll find the perfect home where he can live the rest of his days surrounded by warmth, love, and cuddles. Thank you for considering giving this incredible boy the life he deserves!

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.
(Please note a homecheck and adoption donation of £500 applies).
Thank you xx

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.
