She would like someone to help her gain some much-needed confidence, she really likes her food so this could be a good encouragement for her. Amelia may want to go outside in the future but for now would be best kept indoors until she has fully settled.

Maple is described as a Lurcher. Can live with Cats Dogs Children We have now matched Maple to several applicants and cannot accept any new interest for her. Maple is looking for an owner who can keep her company for the majority of the day. She would like her new owner to take her along to puppy training classes to continue her socialisation. Maple may be able to live with children that are used to dogs and other pets. Maple is a happy go lucky girl who is a joy to be around. She is very friendly with everyone she meets and loves being made a fuss of but is equally happy entertaining herself with her toys. Her favourite game is tug which she would eagerly play for hours! She is full of energy and she will enjoy long walks once she’s old enough. Her new owners need to be aware of the time and commitment taking on a puppy takes as all of her basic training will need to be started from the very beginning which will require patience. Maple didn’t have the best start to life and we are incredibly thankful to those who supported us so we could get her to where she is today. She deserves a wonderful family to live a fun and active life with. Maple has had veterinary treatment whilst with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

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.

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.

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.

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!
