Fantastic Fagan, As Seen On TV!

Fantastic Fagan is our TV star and recently featured on a local news feature about what wonderful pets retired racing greyhounds make. We recently rehomed our 2,000th dog and Fagan went along to remind people there are still dogs available needing homes.

Fagan is a gorgeous black coated, medium sized, 2 year old boy. And despite his name, the only thing he’ll be stealing is your heart. This is one sweet, loving, gentle lump of joy who walks beautifully on the lead, has an easy going nature and an affectionate way of making you feel like best pals after the first introduction. The only thing out of order about Fagan is his expressive ears which will delight you with their wonky ways!

Fagan has joined us at events in busy town locations, is great meeting new people, loves jumping in the car for adventures and just takes it all in his stride. He’s calm and sweet natured and we just can’t understand why he hasn’t been snapped up already.

Fagan would love to get out of kennels and start his retirement properly. Could you give him a foster home or the forever home he so deserves? Please get in contact today and let the Fantastic Fagan steal your heart.

Cheeky Mel Is A Bundle Of Fun!

Mel is a gorgeous Brindle coated beauty and just a baby, not yet 2 years old but with an easy confidence and a fun personality.

Mel is joining her brother Chester who is our Dog Of The Month (see more about him here) in looking for a home and just like him is an affectionate dog who walks wonderfully on the lead and loves to go out in the car on an adventure.

Mel would happily live as an only dog or with other large breed dogs and loves older children so would make a fantastic family pet. She is not suited to a home with small furry companions though.

Young Mel has just joined us so we will be updating her profile with new pictures soon, but she is ready and waiting to meet you today.

Is Muddy right for you?

Muddy absolutely loves his food and can be quite the escape artist so is looking to have direct access into a garden with a 5ft fence. Muddy and Puddles love being together so we would love for them to find a home where they can keep being the best of friends!

Our Brilliant Blaze

Blaze came into the centre with his brother Taz, through no fault of their own.

History

Blaze came into the center with his brother Taz due to their previous owners ill health.

Re-homing Criteria

Blaze came to us with his brother Taz. They have not always lived together and we would happily rehome them separately as long as there was a well established dog in the house. Although Blaze has never lived with children he does enjoy when they come up to say hello, we would consider rehoming to families with dog savvy children of 10years +. Blaze loves his walks so his new family would ideally be quite active , he adores all the new sights and smells a walk gives him. Once he knows you his recall is really good also, but we would always recommend not letting any rescue dog off the lead for a few weeks. Blaze is quite happy in the house and would suit someone who works part time . Blaze has never lived with cats so we could not say how he would be sharing his house with them .He loves to be outside so ideally he would have a fully secure garden of fencing of at least 5foot.  Could you have a Blaze size spot on the sofa ?

The famous Moffat Dogs!!

Finally after 6 months we feel these guys are ready to find their forever homes. A lot of work has gone into the 6 dogs that were picked up as strays near Moffat in July 2023. With the help of Dumfries & Galloway Police and Lee Heron, of Lost Dogs Dumfries and Galloway, these dogs have been given a second chance at life.

It has been a huge challenge for such a small organisation to deal with 6 feral dogs all at the same time, a challenge many rescues would not have undertaken, but the team at the centre rose to the challenge and we now feel the time has come to look for new homes for them all.

Due to the background of these dogs we will be looking for very specific homes, any applications received will be strongly vetted for suitability. Potential homes will need to have experience of under-socialised dogs, preferably large breeds, have a large fully enclosed garden with solid fencing of 6ft + as they have all attempted to clear our 7ft secure paddock fencing.

Any potential homes will need to be extremely patient and understanding with their training going forward.

We believe them to be around 2 years old.

History

These dogs came to us as unclaimed strays

Re-homing Criteria

Any potential adopters of these dogs must be prepared to regularly visit the centre multiple times a week to develop a bond , this is a must and non-negotiable , so please keep this in mind when applying especially if you are not local to the centre.

We believe these guys to have only lived in a multi dog, kennel situation with little social interaction from people. They would all benefit from a confident, well socialised, neutered dog in the household of the opposite sex. The improvement in these guys since being with us is nothing short of amazing in such a short time, but there is still a long road ahead and any adopters would need to be extremely patient and understanding going forward with their training, as it is unlikely they would ever be an average pet dog.

We will not be considering homes with children under 18yrs or cats.

A home where someone is around most of the time is important, and we are looking for very quiet homes and locations as they would not cope in a busy environment.

A totally secure garden is essential with solid fencing, not mesh or wire, of at least 6ft as they have all attempted to clear our 7ft fencing around the paddock area.

Each dog has their own separate needs and personality and we will be reading through all applications to see if any would match a specific dogs requirements. When completing the Homefinding Questionnaire, please give as much information as possible on your experience and circumstances. These dogs have come on leaps and bounds since coming to the centre, but any potential adopters will need to understand that leaving us will be a massive set back to their development , but this does need to happen so they can move forward. Adopters need to understand that it will be a long road moving forward, and will not be a easy task, but the reward when they are settled would be second to none!

If you feel you have the right experience, environment, time and patience to give one of our Moffat dogs a home please complete our Homefinding Questionnaire and we will be in touch if we feel you'd be a good match.

Home Requirements
Away from the city centre
An experienced owner
An active owner
A home with garden

Tigger is looking for an active and experienced owner who has had a large breed dog in the past. His new owner will need to dedicate the time to work on his training, and should live in a quiet area away from the city. He needs to be the only pet in an adult only home without children. A home with a private garden is also required.
Tigger is a very sweet boy who loves people and would love to find an owner who will let him snuggle on the sofa with them. He can be very boisterous so does need more training, but he is also easily overwhelmed when on walks and is reactive towards other dogs, so he does require a committed person who can manage his walks and interactions while they help him gain confidence. He would benefit by visiting hired dog parks where he can enjoy some time offlead without the worry of seeing other dogs. He is an energetic dog so he does like to keep active and will enjoy getting plenty of lead walks, and would enjoy running or hill walking. He is a playful boy who loves having fun with his toys and he enjoys enrichment too. Tigger has lots of potential and is sure to be a very rewarding and loyal companion for a committed owner.

Are you right for Oliver?

Oliver came into our care through no fault of his own with very limited information about his history. He is approximately 8 years old and a little sweetheart! He could possibly share his home with another gentle-natured dog as well as children aged 12 years and over. Oliver could be left for a couple of hours per day, as long as this is built up to gradually. He has been enjoying the perks of one of our amazing foster homes where he loves to snuggle up in his bed and is a great companion!

Is Oliver right for you?

This sensitive soul loves his toys and enjoys getting out for his daily exercise. Oliver really enjoys saying hello to people on his walks as he is a friendly fella. As a senior gent, he does have a medical condition which means he wouldn't be suited to a home with lots of stairs. Our veterinary team would happily discuss this with his potential adopters in more detail.
