History... Buster has been surrendered by his owners, though no fault of his own. 

​More about me... 

Buster is a lovely & friendly boy, who has been brought up around kids but will need further socialisation with dogs. Buster isn't phased with dogs on walks but hasn't been around many, although he does have a sausage dog friend. 

Buster knows his basic commands and will sit and give a paw for a treat, he enjoys playing with his ball and can be left for a few hours and is non-destructive.

Buster initial pulls on lead due to excitement at being out but then this calms down, Buster needs a home were he will be regularly exercised and given love and affection. He is such a happy boy and will make a great addition to any family. 

Buster is neutered and had a recent health check, which showed he was in great health.

Poppy loves playing with toys especially stuffed teddies, she will also give you a little bark to let you know she would like a game off tug. 

Poppy is good with other dogs, she is happy to meet dogs on walks and will have a little play then lies down. Poppy likes a run around with families dogs, she can get a bit over excited though but will back off when told.

Typical terrier with a lot of personality!

Lance is a clever boy that enjoys interacting with the staff and volunteers. He is a typical terrier with a lot of character and would be best suited to a home where he would be the only pet. Lance would be happier in a home where there would be no young children.

History

Lance was sadly returned to us due to his owner struggling to cope with his terrier antics!

Re-homing Criteria

Lance is looking for new owners who have previously owned a typical Jack Russell or a similar breed and are used to their personalities. He can be reactive towards other dogs when out walking and would need someone to continue his training with this. We would be looking for a completely secure garden so that he can benefit from some safe off lead fun. Lance would be best in a rural setting . We will not rehome Lance with cats or another dog, we would also not consider homes with young children around.  Lance is quite a chunky lad at the moment so we would need his new home to be happy to keep up his new feeding and exercise regime while he works on getting back his figure! We are looking for an active home, as much as Lance is happy snuggled on the couch beside you, he also loves being out and about !

Lance is a lovely boy who is just full of Jack Russell Fun and would make a great addition to the home of an avid terrier fan!

Wednesday by name but not by nature!

This lovely lady is Wednesday, she is the sweetest girl who just adores people! Wednesday has shared with a dog at the centre and has lived with a female dog in her previous home, though after a while both girls were starting to try and figure out who was going to be the boss in the home. We would consider rehoming her with an already established male dog in the house after careful introductions at  the centre. However, due to her breed, we are looking for a cat-free home!  Wednesday is such a calm and laid back girl, though does enjoy some mad zoomies so we would be looking at homes with older children purely down to her exuberant playing !

History

Wednesday was sadly returned to us due to her and the resident dog starting to squabble.

Re-homing Criteria

Wednesday is on the hunt for a 5-star home!  A fully secure garden with 6 foot fencing so she can enjoy her zoomies in safety! We can consider homes with older children and possibly a well established male dog in the house. Wednesday loves her home comforts and will happily snuggle up with you on the couch , or stretch out in front of the fire after a day of adventures ! Wednesday is an absolutely fantastic dog, she walks well on the lead, loves the company of people and other dogs and is an absolute joy to have around, she will make her new family very happy!

Could you be the happy ending Wednesday deserves ?

Fluffy is a sweet girl who loves being around people and is always happy to make new friends. She has a lot of energy and would suit an owner who enjoys running, and she would benefit by being involved in an activity like Agility or scent work.

Fluffy does need to continue her training so needs an owner who is prepared to work on this with her, but she is sure to be a fantastic pet for the right family.

Marley is looking for an experienced owner who has had a terrier in the past. He may suit a home with dog savvy older children who will give him space when required. He could potentially live with another dog but wouldn’t suit living with a cat.
Marley is an affectionate boy who loves being fussed over and tickled. He can be a little wary of new people at first but is quick to come around and make friends. He is an energetic wee boy who is very playful and lots of fun to have around. He loves to run around and play with his toys, especially his tennis ball which he happily chases after. He also enjoys enrichment time and likes to have a comfy bed where he can enjoy his quieter moments.
Marley has had treatment for his ears, which will need to be kept clean by his new owners. More information will be shared with successful applicants.

Glen is looking for an active and experienced owner who is knowledgeable of the Collie breed.  He requires an adult only home and needs access to a private garden where he can decompress when necessary. He would like a home where he will have company for part of the day.
Glen is a sweet boy who is very loving and affectionate with people that he knows. He can be a bit shy when first meeting new people, so needs an understanding person who can help him make friends, but he is very friendly with people that he knows and loves being around them. He is an energetic boy who loves going for walks along the beach, and he would spend the whole day chasing after a toy if he could. We think he would enjoy hill walking, running, or doing some scent work training. Glen loves company and enjoys spending time in our staff room where he gets lots of attention ,while he stealthily checks everyone’s pockets for any tasty treats he can munch on. He is a typical collie so would benefit by having an owner who knows the Collie breed well. He is unsure of cars and will need to do some work to build his confidence around traveling. Glen is sure to be a fantastic pet for the right owner.

Hi Everyone! My name is Yumiko

My foster mum just calls me Yumi which I like. I’m a 3yr old husky. I’ve been with my foster mum in Scotland now for 3mths. I love the cold and the nice hills I get to wander here.

I love sleeping at the bottom of my foster mums bed and getting tucked in at night in my fluffy blanket. I love a lie in but like to open the curtain to look out the window in the morning while I’m still in bed. I like lazy mornings but as soon as I’m asked do I want breakfast I jump up. I love long walks and running so would love my forever home to be active.

When I’m left at home alone I seek out cardboard and poly bags and rip them up so my foster mum has to hide these. If I don’t get my long walks I can also scratch the door when left but this has only happened once so I’m always good being left for a few hours if I’m tired from my hill walks.

I don’t have little kids in my house at the minute but I’m very gentle with all the kids I’ve met and love kisses and cuddles. In fact I will kiss everyone I meet because I just love all the attention. I also am friendly with other dogs even when they bark at me. I think I would love a brother or sister as I’m super playful.

I can sit and lie down but only when I want so I may need some more work on that. My ideal home would be somewhere I can get to run and nice long walks in the hills or near the water.

I am a special pup because I just have so much love for everyone I meet and I’m not a noisy husky. I will do a quiet talk if I want out or need attention but mum says I’m a unicorn of a sled dog

Yumi 🐾
