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

Kobi is described as a mixed Mixed . Meet Kobi – A Gentle Giant in the Making Location: Ayr Date of Birth: 10th December 2024 Kobi is Tiggy’s last remaining puppy – and he’s grown into quite the handsome boy! The biggest of his litter, Kobi is already larger than his mum and is expected to be large-medium to large in size once fully grown. When Kobi first arrived, he was the most timid of his siblings – shy, nervous, and unsure of the world. But with patience, love, and time, he’s blossomed into a happy, playful, and affectionate young lad. He’s still a little clumsy and full of energy, which only adds to his charm! 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. A bit barky with unfamiliar dogs, but not aggressive, just unsure 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. Older children only due to his size and bouncy nature 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. With the right family, he’ll grow into a loyal, loving companion for life. Ready to give Kobi the forever home he deserves? Apply here A home check and adoption donation will apply. Let’s find this big-hearted boy the happy ever after he’s waiting for.

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

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

Boobie is described as a reddish brown Mixed . Meet Boobie – A Brave Little Soul Looking for Love Location: Ayr Estimated Age: Around 2 years old Boobie came into our care after being handed in as a stray – but we strongly suspect she was abandoned by her previous owners. She wasn't microchipped, and after a vet visit (when we thought she might be pregnant), we discovered she was going through a phantom pregnancy following a recent season. We believe this may be why she was heartlessly given up. She shows signs of having been a working dog – with the classic bald patches on her ears and nose – but despite whatever past she’s had, Boobie has nothing but love to give. Boobie’s Personality & Progress: 1. Possibly a red Patterdale or Patterdale cross 2. Sweet-natured, affectionate, and a bit giddy 3. Loves a fuss and will happily clamber onto your lap 4. Doesn't love being picked up or heavily handled just yet – but is improving every day with gentle encouragement 5. Best suited to a calm, adult-only home that understands her sensitivities 6. Crate trained and working on housetraining (likely never lived indoors before) 7. Enjoys being outside and has no separation anxiety 8. Walks well on a lead (though sometimes a bit enthusiastic!) 9. Likely prey driven, so may need to remain on-lead long term Boobie is still waiting for her vaccinations and microchip as she found her first vet visit quite stressful – but don’t worry, this will all be completed before she goes to her forever home. What Boobie Needs: 1. A home without children 2. A patient, understanding adopter who can help her continue adjusting to home life 3. A secure garden for safe outdoor time (or lots of on-lead adventures) 4. Someone who’ll offer her consistency, kindness, and all the cuddles she adores Boobie is a special little girl with a lot of love to give. She just needs someone to believe in her and show her that she's safe, wanted, and home at last.

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

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

Tiggy is described as a mixed Mixed . Meet Tiggy – A Little Dog with a Big Heart Location: Ayr Date of Birth: 5th October 2023 Tiggy’s story starts in the most heartbreaking of ways – but she hasn’t let that dim her sparkle. One dark night, our rescuer’s husband spotted her frantically running in circles on a remote track – clearly terrified and confused. Her tiny puppies were scattered across the road, darting around in panic. It took him an hour to gather them all to safety… but Tiggy, brave as she was, was too frightened to let anyone near. Thankfully, our rescuer returned and gently coaxed Tiggy to safety. Since then, she’s been living with the rescuer as her puppies grew and then travelled to our rescue in Ayr– and she has turned out to be an absolute delight. Tiggy in a nutshell: • Smaller side of medium • Super friendly and loves everyone she meets • Incredibly cuddly, gentle, and affectionate • Crate trained and clean in the house • Great with both men and women • Good with older children • Just starting her lead training – and doing brilliantly! • No bad habits – just a pure-hearted little soul looking for love Important to know: Tiggy is a bit of an escape artist – not to run away, but because she always wants to be close to her people. For this reason, she’ll need: A very secure home and garden (if there is one) To be kept on a lead when outside To never be left unattended outdoors Or a home without a garden, where walks happen on-lead only She’s incredibly sweet, smart, and eager to please – and would thrive in many different kinds of homes where she’s included as part of the family

New dog listed for rescue at the Borders Pet Rescue - Molly

New dog listed for rescue at the Borders Pet Rescue - Molly

Molly is described as a Molly. Breed: Molly Sex: Female Age: around 8 years Key information: Beautiful friendly girl, loves people, can live with children over the age of 14 years old and needs to be the only pet in the home. Molly is a sweet and sensitive girl who can be a little shy when you first meet her but once you make friends she wont want to leave your side. She loves her food and still like to play with a ball, although the pace is not what it used to be. Molly arrived as a stray so we don’t have any history on her background, however what we can tell you is she is an amazing girl who makes you smile almost immediately. She appears to be house-trained and likes her home comforts. We don’t think Molly is used to traveling as she can seem a bit overwhelmed and vocal in the car. Molly may not be too familiar with the world and may have previously lived on a farm so she will need new owners who can let her build confidence around walking in new areas. She prefers quiet places where she can take her time sniffing and exploring at her own pace. Molly would like her new owners to be at home most of the day to keep her company, she wants to be the only pet in the house so she can have all your attention to herself, she loves a cuddle and will happily snuggle in for hours if you let her. She enjoys the garden and will happily find a sunspot and soak up some sunshine. Molly has some muscle wastage in her back legs and needs to work on her fitness, to make her more comfortable she is currently on the supplement You Move daily.  if you think you could offer Molly a home please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

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

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

Hamish is described as a black Pug cross. Loyal Little Lad Looking for Love and Company! Hamish is a sweet boy with a big personality and a lot of love to share. He has previously lived with children aged 8 and over and has been okay with cats, making him a great potential addition to a family home. He’s used to having a canine companion and generally gets along better with female dogs. However, he can be reactive towards other dogs when out on the lead. Hamish is not a fan of being left alone and can be quite noisy when left without company. He thrives in a home where he has someone around for most of the day and/or a calm dog companion to help him feel secure. He enjoys his walks, but his recall is unreliable, so he’ll need to stay on the lead unless in a safely enclosed area. History Hamish struggles with being left alone which led his owner to make the difficult decision to find him a new home. Re-homing Criteria Hamish needs a home where someone is around most of the time as he becomes distressed when left alone. He would benefit greatly from having a friendly resident dog for companionship. He could live with respectful children and may be suitable for a home with a dog-savvy cat. A secure garden is essential, as his recall is very poor and he will need a safe space to explore and enjoy outdoor time. This lovely wee man is full of heart and just needs the right home to help him feel safe and loved.

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

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

Polly is described as a black Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross. From Stray to Soulmate, Polly is ready to steal your heart! Polly is a beautiful Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross who arrived with us as a stray, so we don’t have any background information about her past. What’s immediately clear, though, is just how affectionate and people-focused she is. She loves meeting new faces and thrives on human interaction. Polly is clean in her kennel, which suggests she may have previously lived in a home and been housetrained. She is not good with other dogs, and we don’t know how she would react around cats or children, though she may be suitable for a home with calm, respectful teenagers. History Polly came into the centre as a stray. Re-homing Criteria Polly’s rehoming needs are straightforward but important. She will require a secure garden to ensure she can enjoy off-lead time safely, away from other dogs. She must be the only dog in the household. While her suitability for living with children is uncertain, she may do well with older teens who understand how to behave around dogs. Polly is strong on the lead, so her adopter will need to be physically capable of managing her on walks and committed to working on her loose-lead training. Polly is a lovely, loyal girl who just needs someone to take a chance on her – a perfect match for anyone with a soft spot for staffies!
