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.

Looking for a calm, experienced home.

This is the beautiful Nala. She adores people who she trusts but can be a little nervous of new people and isn't finding kennel life particularly easy.

Nala enjoys being out and about on walks and loves company, she can get a little stressed when left alone so will need a home where someone is home most of the time.

She loves nothing more than running around off lead and chasing her ball.

Nala is Muzzle trained due to her reactivity towards other dogs.

We are looking for a home without children.

History

Nala came to us due to her reactivity issues being too much for her previous owners to handle.

Re-homing Criteria

Nala is looking for a special kind of home who can help support her though her training. She will need someome who can continue the help and support and someone who has plenty experience with sheperds and an understanding of the breed.

Full of fun and ready for his next big adventure!

Santino is the sweetest boy! He adores people and is good around other dogs. He doesnt know his own size and will try to be a lap dog whenever the opportunity arises.

He currently shares his kennel with his best friend, Ernie the lurcher.

Santino walks well on the lead but can be strong when he sees something exciting so his new owner will need to be confident that they can handle his strength and help him work on his lead walking.

He is a typical lurcher in many ways - he LOVES a quick zoomie but would happily cuddle on the couch for hours after and he has a high pray drive. Due to this we will be looking for a home wihtout cats/small furry animanls about.


History

Santino came to us as a stray who was sadly never claimed.

Re-homing Criteria

Santino came to us as an unclaimed stray, with this being the case, even though he has a fantastic nature, we would not rehome him with young children in the house simply due to the unknown history.  Also because of his typical breed traits, Santino would not be able to share his new home with cats or any other small furries.

This handsome chap would happily live with another dog, he has been great with every dog he has met here and he loves nothing more than zooming around our paddock with his canine friends! Santino absolutely adores people so someone who has the time to give hijm lots of company would be his perfect home. A fully secure garden is a must.

He is a big boy who does not know his size and although walks really well on the lead when he sees something exciting he can decide that he needs to investigate so his new owner would need to feel confident that they could handle his strength.

Santino is a firm favourite of the staff and volunteers due to his absolute lust for life, you cannot help but smile when this lad is around.

Date of Birth: 10th December 2024

Frank is one Freya’s gorgeous pups and is still looking for a home – and he’s an absolute little treasure.

Franks Highlights:
• Confident, sweet, and eager to learn
• Friendly with people and other dogs
• Can live with sensible, dog-savvy children
• Will need continued house training and lead work
• Would thrive with a secure garden to play and practice his skills

The sisters (that are already adopted) are doing brilliantly – and we know Frank will too! Frank is a lovely not so little lad with a bright future ahead – He just needs a home where he will be loved, supported, and given the chance to shine. Please bare in mind Frank is going to be a larger sized dog as he is already over 20 kilos at just 6 months old, but he is a really gentle boy and will make just the best pal for someone. Think you’re the one for Frank?

Can live with
Children
Dogs

Pippa is looking for a home with someone who has had a Daxi before and understands their quirks. She may suit living with older children and could potentially share her home with a dog similar size to her as she can be wary of larger dogs. She would like company some of the day until she settles in.
Pippa is a happy girl with a big personality who likes being made a fuss of. She may be small but she has a lot to say for herself to let everyone know she’s there, so her new owner will need to be patient with this and continue working on her social skills to help her make better choices rather than shouting. After she’s had a run about with the wind in her ears she likes nothing better to come home for a snooze to a comfy bed and a tasty treat.

Home Requirements
An experienced owner
A home with garden

Niall is looking for an experienced owner who have had large dogs before and can work on his confidence. He will need to be kept company all day and would like his own private garden, so he has a space to call his own to stretch out his big legs. He is looking to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Niall is a real sweet boy who, although can be unsure of people he doesn’t know, is easily won over by a tasty biscuit or two. He is generally confident with most scenarios, but new people are a bit scary for him, so he does require an understanding owner who will take things gradually with him and slowly work on his confidence. He can find it difficult being left on his own so his new owner will need to keep him company and help him learn it’s okay to spend time alone.
Once he does know you, he is super affectionate and will happily make himself a lap dog despite his size! He is full of energy and loves to run around chasing after his toys in the paddocks and he may enjoy hill walking. With the right introductions, Niall does make doggy friends who match his energy but he will need to continue working on his social skills around new dogs.
