OLIVER
Male
6 years
Oliver has sadly been returned to our care, after almost 4 years in a home, through absolutely no fault of his own (change of circumstances).
He is 6 years old, quite small for a boy and is a friendly, happy boy. Ideally we want his stay in kennels to be as short as possible as he has been used to his home comforts.
Oliver is fine with other greyhounds and is trainable to be around other breeds.
He really deserves another chance.

Breed: Arlo
Sex: Male
Age: 6 months
Key information: Friendly boy, can live with children 14 years or over, could possibly live with another similar dog, not good with cats.
Arlo is a friendly and happy boy who is a lot of fun. Sadly he hasn’t had much training and has learnt to jump up and be very selective in when he wants to listen to you. However he is a very clever dog and when focused he does his best to please you.
Arlo loves to play, tug, its his favorite, he enjoys running around the garden with his toys and will happily parade them for you once he has caught them. Arlo is a water baby, whether its a paddling pool, river or lake he will go for a quick dip, fetch his toys or cool off.
Arlo is looking for an active home with people who enjoy training a dog and could invest time and patience in to teaching Arlo basic manners but also some valuable life skills. Arlo has only lived in a house for a short time and during this time he loved his home comforts and is happy to lap up attention and cuddles. New owners would need to be at home most of the day to help him settle in to a good routine.
When out on walks Arlo will happily meet friendly dogs, he can get over excited and wants to play, and if this isn’t possible he can easily become frustrated and become vocal. He is currently learning how to cope with this frustration, and making good progress.
Arlo is a smart boy and has a lovely nature, he does need a lot of 1-2-1 training but once you have put in the hard work he will repay you with loyalty, trust and lots of love.
if you think you could offer Arlo a home, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Breed: Cooper
Sex: Male
Age: 8 years
Key information: Friendly, happy boy, loves people, can live with children 10 years or over and could possibly live with another dog.
Cooper is a friendly loving boy who adores attention. He is a typical Lab who thinks he is the star of the show and everyone is here to see him. He loves his walks and happily says hello to other dogs.
Cooper loves to play with his ball but he doesn’t always bring it back, he likes to investigate and will be first in line to jump in the car for an adventure to the beach or his favorite woods. As you can see Cooper really enjoys his food and could do with loosing a pound or two.
Cooper is looking for owners who can welcome a bundle of fun in to their lives with open arms. Sadly Coopers previous owner passed away, he has been lovingly cared for, for many years and is looking for people to continue to give him the fabulous life he is used to and deserves.
Cooper is house-trained, happy being left alone for a few hours and travels great in the car.

Breed: Lady
Sex: Female
Age: 3 years
Key information: Calm girl who is very friendly and sweet. She does not need a lot of exercise, a garden is a must, can live with children over the age of 12 years old and could possibly live with another dog.
Lady is a sweet, affectionate girl who adores attention, a cosy bed, and simply being by your side. She arrived at Borders Pet Rescue as a stray, so we don’t know much about her past – but what we do know is that she is an absolute star in the office! Lady is happiest when curled up nearby, contentedly snoozing (with the occasional snore!) while you go about your day.
Lady does have some health issues caused by irresponsible breeding. Her very short nose makes breathing difficult, especially in the heat or during exercise. Because of this, she prefers short potters close to home or gentle wanders around the garden. She’s not a dog who enjoys long walks, and she’ll be happiest in a calm environment with minimal physical demands.
Lady also suffers from a condition called entropion, where her eyelashes grow inwards toward her eyes. Thankfully, this can be corrected with surgery, and Borders Pet Rescue will cover the full cost of this operation.
Lady is looking for a quiet, loving home with:
Minimal stairs
A secure garden where she can safely explore
Kind, understanding owners who will cherish her for who she is
She may not be the most energetic dog, but she more than makes up for it in love and loyalty. Lady is gentle, soulful, and incredibly easy to care for. She walks beautifully on the lead, enjoys human company, and always tries her best to please.
She’s searching for someone special who can see beyond her physical challenges and appreciate the truly beautiful soul within. If you’re looking for a devoted, low-maintenance companion who will fill your home with warmth and quiet affection, Lady might just be the perfect match for you.
if you think you could offer Lady a home, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

1 years old (17 June 2024)
can be nervous when first meeting people but warms up with a few bits of chicken
He's microchipped
Needs to restart his vaccines
German shepherd cross Malinois
Not met cats
Not met kids
Dogs - Friendly with dogs on walks. Needs more socialisation with dogs in the home and off lead.
Needs to be neutered this will be done once a foster is found as it will be more peaceful for him to heal and have someone watch him.
Tucker was pulled from the pound by the rescue! He is in a bit off rough shape as his hair is thin and like straw, he's also a little lean.
He is just a loveable puppy there is not an aggressive bone in his body, he's just been through a lot and needing to gain his confidence back!
He has been working with the staff in the kennels who are mainly female and has got more confident with females now. He will need kind men in his life to help him gain confidence with them. He currently just shies away and looks to the people he trusts.
Tucker will need a fosterer that is experienced with nervous dogs who can provide him with training for the nervousness and healthy boundaries towards other dogs as he still doesn't have basic training.

Bertie
3 year old Mastiff Cross
Neutered -yes
Teenagers 16+
Cats and small furries - no
Dogs - Potentially could pending many successful meets
Bertie’s looking for a very special foster to adopt home who will continue the superb work his current foster family have been doing to build his confidence.
Bertie could do really well living in a rural or semi rural location but definitely cannot live in a very noisy and busy area due to his anxiety and nervous nature. Bertie is worried by new situations and takes time to build trust with new people. Due to this we are looking for a home where there is limited visitors and an adopter who is willing to visit Bertie multiple times to build a relationship before we look at moving him from his current fosters.
Bertie is a strong boy and must walk with a head collar and his loose lead walking is work in progress. He loves going to the freedom field for a run around and lots of sniffing with his brother who he has play dates with.
Berties fosters have been working alongside a behaviourist/trainer to help Bertie build his confidence around everyday situations including going for walks.
Bertie gets overwhelmed easily and so someone experienced with nervous dogs would be an advantage. Bertie is currently on medication for his anxiety and nervous nature and this will be discussed further with any suitable applicant.
Bertie loves his toys and chews and this can be great for helping distract Bertie in the home from passers by and outside noises. Bertie loves to bark at the window!
Bertie really is a loveable big lad who will flourish with the right home and guidance.

Can live with
Children
Bonnie is looking for an active owner who has had experience with German Shepherds and is familiar with some of the common behaviours they can have. She would like to have access to a private garden which will allow her to have her own safe space away from other dogs. She may be able to live with older, dog savvy children but would prefer to be the only pet in the home.
Bonnie is a super sweet, affectionate girl who loves everyone she meets and being made a fuss of. Like a typical Shepherd, she can be very vocal so would need an understanding owner who is willing to spend time with her working on her social skills. She is full of energy and loves playing with her toys in the paddocks but she can be anxious around other dogs so would benefit being with someone who is happy to take her hill walking or on long walks in quieter areas. Bonnie will need her coat regularly brushed to keep her coat tangle free. After a day out and about Bonnie would like nothing better to chill in a nice comfy bed or on a sofa.

Fantastic Fynn!
This handsome boy loves nothing more than a fuss! Fynn is full of life and has a real cheeky personlaity. He hasn't been with us long but we are all completely in love with him already. Fynn is a typical, daft, loving, playful lab who will make a fantastic pet.
He loves being out and about and seems happy around other dogs here at the centre. His previous owners said he was housetrained and got on well with two young children who visited. We are unsure how he would react to cats.
History
This handsome chap has been with the same home since he was 3 months old. He is now looking for a home that can meet his needs with both exercise and mental stimulation.
Re-homing Criteria
Fynn is looking for an active life. He loves the great outdoors so will need an owner who wants to join him on walks and adventures.
He is a friendly boy who likes meeting new people and could happily live with another dog if the match was right. We can't say for sure if he would be happy around cats.
Fynn does have his basic commands but his recall could do with a little work - due to this a home with a secure garden would be ideal.

A very lovable chap who loves a fuss.
Ernie is a real sweetheart! He is a happy, friendly guy who is great fun to be around. He enjoys the company of other dogs and as found a best friend here at the centre who he shares his space with (Santino the Lurcher).
Ernie loves being out and about and really enjoys company. He is looking for love, cuddles, adventures and a place to call his own. Due to his typical breed traits we are looking for a home without cats/ small furry animals around. This handsome lad would LOVE a canine friend to share his life with so another dog in the home is a must - however they would need to match his playful energy!
History
Ernie came to us as an unclaimed stray.
Re-homing Criteria
Ernie is a fantastic young lad who has such a lust for life! He is at his happiest while he is enjoying his zoomies in our paddock. His new home will need to have a fully secure garden so he has somewhere to carry on this favourite pastime of his! Ernie was a stray so we sadly do not have any background on how he would be with young children or cats , so we would be looking for a home without either of these. Ernie loves company - he would be looking for a family with someone around most of the time and an already established dog as he thrives with his canine friends here.
If you have space for a super fun loving dog in your life, Ernie could be your one!

Home Requirements
An experienced owner
A home with garden
Rocky is looking for a special home with an experienced owner who have had nervous dogs before. He will require his own private garden so he has a space to call his own where he can enjoy the outdoors safely. Rocky will need to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Rocky is a special boy who can find it difficult trusting new people and will need to meet his new family several times first before he feels ready to go home. He is a boy who knows what he does and doesn’t like so requires a very understanding, patient owner who will not overwhelm him and will manage his interactions carefully. He can become worried by being handled too much and does show when he feels uncomfortable so his new owner will need to have a good understanding of dog body language in order to help Rocky make good choices. For this reason, he cannot be placed in a home where there are children, including visiting children.
Once Rocky has built a good relationship with you, he does show his incredibly sweet, affectionate side and is partial to a good tummy tickle. He enjoys his walks to the woodland where he can sniff out all of the interesting smells or zooming around our paddocks as fast as he can. He will make a loving, loyal companion for the right owner who can accept him for who he is.
Rocky has had some veterinary treatment during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.
