New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Pringle

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Pringle

Pringle is described as a Collie Cross. Home Requirements An experienced owner An active owner A home with garden Pringle is looking for an experienced owner who have had nervous dogs before. He would like access to a secure private garden so he can enjoy time outdoors away from other dogs. Pringle would like to be kept company for most of the day in an adult only & pet free household. Pringle is a nervous lad who is desperate to find an understanding owner that will take things slowly with him. He is affectionate around those he knows well but is unsure of new people so needs a patient and committed owner who are prepared to meet him several times before he feels ready to go home. Pringle has shown dog reactivity and he can become easily overwhelmed and frustrated so requires an owner who can manage his introductions carefully. Once he has a good relationship with you, Pringle is a sweetheart who will happily jump up beside you for snuggles. He is so eager to please and he looks up to his favourite people for guidance and reassurance which is key when continuing his training. He loves his toys and will happily run around our paddocks all day chasing after them. Being a collie, he does need plenty of exercise and he would be the ideal jogging partner for someone who enjoys keeping active. He is incredibly clever who likes to be kept busy and he really enjoys his enrichment sessions. Pringle has a lot of potential to be a wonderful companion for the right owner, could it be you? Pringle has received some veterinary treatment whilst with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Hardy

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Hardy

Hardy is described as a liver and white Springer. We are looking for a foster home for Hardy with the view to adopt. Hardy's fosterers must be local to Dumfries as he will need to see our vet regularly, probably monthly. Hardy came to us as stray and we very quickly realised that things weren't quite right. He had problems with one of his back legs, an extreme case of stiffness in his stifle on his left back leg which was operated on successfully 5 weeks ago,  and needs another months cage rest. He is in no pain, and our vet is very happy with his progress, although recommends lead walks only at the moment, and no off lead exercise. Given his age, he will need the same as any other puppy, sosialisation, training, love and care, but exercise will need to be limited, and no off lead exercise until the vet gives him the all clear. A steady dog at home will be fine, and infact be good for his learning. He is young enough to learn to live with cats, no children under 10 yrs due to the nature of his situation, a secure garden to help with house training, and someone who is home a lot of the time. All food and medical costs will be covered by the charity while he is being fostered. Given everything Hardy has been through already in his short life, he doesnt bear a grudge, infact quite the opposite. He loves to spend time with you, happy to go for a walk and loves a cuddle. We need to find a home where they will show Hardy what he's been missing. Could that be you? He's got his paws crossed.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Laurel

Laurel is described as a black and white Springer. We are looking for a foster home for little Laurel with the view to adopt in the future.  Laurels fosterers must be local to Dumfries as he will need to see our vet regularly, probably monthly. He came to us as stray and we very quickly realised that things weren't quite right. He has problems with his back legs (slipping patella's in both back legs).  This is being monitored at the moment but may need surgery in the future. Given his age, he will need the same as any other puppy, sosialisation, training, love and care, the only difference to your average puppy is his exercise may need to be limited. A steady dog at home will be fine, and infact good for his learning, he is young enough to learn to live with cats, no children under 10 yrs due to the nature of their situation, a secure garden to help with house training, and someone who is home a lot of the time. All food and medical costs will be covered by the charity while he is being fostered. Laurel is the happiest, friendliest little chap, and loves nothing than to spend time with you getting a cuddle. He is in no pain, and apart from the limited exercise he is a typical spaniel puppy, into everything! Could you be the one to turn round this fella's rough start?

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Pocus

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Pocus

Pocus is described as a black and white Lurcher. Lovely lad with lots of love to give! Little Pocus is a real sweetheart. He loves a fuss and has adored everyone he has met here so far. He has mixed well with other young dogs since being here and is a firm favourite with the volunteers. He loves a walk and will be looking for an active home. Pocus is just young so he will need a patient owner who can support him though all his basic training. History Little Pocus came to us as a stray so we don't have any information on his history. Re-homing Criteria Pocus is an young active guy so is looking for a home to match his puppy energy. We would be looking for a home with a secure garden so he has a safe space to work on his housetraining and off lead training. He would happily live with another dog(s) and with careful introductions he could live with a resident cat(s) . Due to his zest for life and still young bouncy nature we would ideally be looking for a home with children over the age of 8 years who are used to a energetic dog. Someone who is at home most of the time is a must due to his age and the training that he will require at this young age. Pocus is a completely blank canvas so someone who understands the need for training to assist his learning and to allow him to reach his full potential. A family who has the time and the excitement for training is perfect for this young boy ! Could you be the ones he is looking for ?

Little Poppy is a happy girl with bags of energy and lots of love to give. She enjoys the company of other dogs here at the centre and has previously lived with cats. Poppy is an active girl who is looking for a home with plenty of company and adventures to be had. She is housetrained and is very sociable with people. She has loved everyone she has met here and is becoming a firm favourite with the volunteers. History Poppy is looking for a fresh start due to her previous owners feeling like they could no longer give her the life she deserves. Re-homing Criteria Poppy is looking for an active home with a secure garden. She has never lived with children but due to her good nature we believe she could be happy around children of 8 years and above. As previously mentioned, Poppy will be happy to live with another dog(s) and cat(s). Given her breed, whoever is lucky enough to adopt her must understand her grooming needs. Cocker spaniels crossed with poodles need regular brushing and clipping. The clipping should be done every 8-10wks and will cost in the region of £40-£60. Please keep this extra cost in mind before you apply. Homefinder Questionnaire If you'd like to help rehome Poppy simply complete the Homefinder Questionnaire to get started.

New dog listed for rescue at the Saving and Rehoming Strays - Willow

New dog listed for rescue at the Saving and Rehoming Strays - Willow

Willow is described as a brown, white and black Welsh Collie. Name: Willow D.O.B: 01/12/2021 Gender: Male Location: Cornwall Willow is a Welsh Collie living with his current family in Cornwall. He will be 3 years old in December and is up to date with his vaccination etc but has not been neutered at the advice of his vets (we would suggest that this is revisited). Willow has been with his current family since he was a puppy and has been brought up around children. Unfortunately due to the family's circumstances, they are not able to keep Willow as they are unable to offer him the continued exercise, mental stimulation and training required for this very clever dog. Willows family explain that Willow is a lovely dog who is very loyal, smart, affectionate and amazing with their son. He also loves to play football! Willow does have some areas that required further training such as recall (although he will come back to a ball thrower, as he loves a ball), he will try and chase cars (but this is managed using a particular lead) and he does not like some sounds e.g. the hoover and will snap at these. Willow loves attention and walks, and is normally good with other dogs and plays nicely with the other dogs in the family. He does bark sometimes but not excessively, and he is not destructive at all in the home or garden. He is also housetrained. His family believe he would live a happier life with a family able to give him the time and adventures he needs and willing to continue with his training. We would like to see Willow in a rural home, ideally with experienced collie / working dog owners who understand this breeds needs. If you have a Willow-shaped hole in your life please pop on to our website and complete a pre-application application form (https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org) Please note a £350 adoption fee will apply and a virtual home will be required.Thank you!
