💛 Meet Bonnie – A Bubbly Young Labrador Ready to Shine! 🐾 📍 Currently in Ayr, Scotland 📆 Date of Birth: 24 September 2024 Say hello to Bonnie, a gorgeous young pedigree Labrador from working stock — smaller in size, but with a huge personality! Bonnie is full of love, life, and that classic Labrador charm. She’s the kind of dog who greets every new person like a long-lost friend and can’t wait to play with every dog she meets. Bonnie is looking for a new home because her current owner is going away for a year, and it wouldn’t be fair to put her into foster. We’d love to find her a home straight from her current family so she doesn’t have to go through the stress of moving into rescue. 🐶 About Bonnie Bonnie is a young, happy, and affectionate girl who loves everybody and everything! She’s great with people and other dogs, and she just wants to be part of the fun. However, she’s still very much a puppy — full of energy, excitement, and wiggles! She hasn’t had as much exercise or training as she needs, so she can be a bit giddy and does pull on the lead (purely out of enthusiasm, not aggression). She’s also a little overly enthusiastic when visitors come to the house — she simply can’t contain her joy! With regular exercise, stimulation, and a bit of training, Bonnie will blossom into the amazing companion she’s meant to be. 🏡 Bonnie’s Perfect Home ✔️ Active family or individual with time to train and exercise her ✔️ Secure garden for running and playing ✔️ No small children (she’s too bouncy and might knock them over!) ✔️ Dog-friendly home — she loves canine company ✔️ Doesn’t require experienced owners, just patient ones willing to guide her 🌟 Health & Adoption Info Fully vaccinated, flea treated, and wormed Recently spayed Adoption will include a home check and adoption donation Bonnie is a loving, happy young girl who just needs the right family to help her channel all that energy into fun and learning. She’ll make a wonderful addition to an active home — full of love, laughter, and wagging tails. If you think Bonnie could be the perfect match for you, please get in touch — we’d love to hear from you! 👉 Apply now at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org 📋 Home check and adoption donation apply

More about Daisy
Daisy is looking for an experienced owner who have had reactive dogs before. She will need to be kept company all day and have access to a private garden. She is looking for an adult only home where she will be the only pet.
Daisy is a sweet but sassy girl who is looking for a quiet home where she can have space to relax, be the centre of attention and play with her favourite toy. Her beauty does of course attract people, but she is worried around those she doesn’t know and can be vocal towards anyone who she isn’t comfortable with so is looking for an understanding and patient owner who can give her time to settle in and work on her social skills.
When she has been given the time to get to know you, she is incredibly loving, loyal and will happily perch herself beside you for some fussing. She does become quite attached to her person and struggles when left so will need to be kept company all day. She is playful, full of energy and would thoroughly enjoy having an activity to do like agility.
Daisy’s coat will require regular grooming so any new owner will need to be mindful of the extra time and financial cost this will bring.

More about Cooper
Cooper is looking for an active owner who are prepared to continue his training. He would like to be kept company for most of the day whilst he settles in and have access to his own private garden, so he has a safe space to enjoy himself away from other dogs. He is looking to be the only pet but may be able to live with older children.
Cooper is a sweet boy who really deserves a wonderful family who will allow him time to decompress whilst he settles into his new home. He can be unsure around new people to start, but he does come around quickly and will show what a truly lovely, affectionate boy he is.
He is full of beans, very clever and does enjoy using our agility equipment when in the paddock but is equally happy chasing after his toys. He will be best suited to an active owner who will provide him with plenty of physical and mental stimulation. Cooper can make doggy friends but he can become frustrated when he can’t go up to say hello to them so he will need an owner who can work on his social skills around them.

More about Blue
Blue is looking for an active owner that have had dogs in the past and are committed to continue his basic training. He would like to be kept company for most of the day whilst he settles in and have access to an outdoor space, so he can burn off some of his excess energy. He is looking to be the only pet but may be able to live with older dog savvy teenaged children who won’t be worried by his boisterous nature.
Blue is an extremely friendly, exuberant boy who loves life and enjoys making friends anywhere he goes. His enthusiasm for life can make him a bit of a bull in a china shop so he would be best suited to a home who know and love the bully breed personality! He does get easily carried away so requires a patient owner who are committed to continue his basic training and help him learn how to be more of an established gentleman but he is very attention and food orientated which will massively help with his training.
He thoroughly enjoys his walks and would make the perfect hill walking companion for an active owner. In the right home, with someone who has the time to work with him, he will make a great addition to the family.

More about Opal
Opal is looking for an owner who have had nervous dogs before. She would like access to a garden, so she has her own space to enjoy and to be kept company for most of the day. Opal is looking to be the only pet but may be able to live with high school aged, dog savvy children.
Opal is the sweetest of girls who is very attention orientated with those she knows best. She can be a bit unsure if someone approaches her too quickly or tries to handle her too much and will shy away so she needs a patient owner who understand dog body language. Things will need to be taken at a pace she is comfortable with but once she learns that there is nothing to be afraid of, she is the biggest snuggle bug and will happily sit beside you for cuddles all day.
She may be a little older, but it does not stop her from running around with her favourite squeaky toy. Opal did arrive as a bit of a chunky girl and is still working on trimming her waistline so she will need a sensible owner who will gradually build up her fitness by taking her on many different adventures.

More about Summer
Summer is looking for an active owner who can work on her basic training and she would like access to a garden, so she has another space to burn off some energy. Summer may be able to live with high school aged children and possibly another young dog.
Summer is a fun, excitable, young girl who is friendly with everyone she meets. She is very playful and loves to run around our paddocks with a toy but does get over excited at times so needs help to understand how to keep all four paws on the ground. She does have worries about travelling, so needs an understanding owner who have the patience and time to help her overcome her nerves.
Summer does enjoy the company of other dogs, but she can be a bit too bouncy for some. She may be able to live with a dog of similar size who matches her energy pending a successful introduction. After a day of fun, she does enjoy her chill out time in a nice cosy bed.
Summer had some veterinary treatment when she arrived with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

More about Scotia
Scotia has been extremely popular and has now been matched to several possible homes so we are no longer accepting interest for him.
Scotia is looking for an owner who have had high energy dogs, ideally huskies, before. He will require access to his own private garden to work on basic training and to be kept company all day until he settles into a routine. He may be able to live with high school aged children but is looking to be the only pet.
Scotia is a happy boy who is always keen to say hello to who he meets. He is a typical husky who likes to sing the song of his people to let everyone know he is there so would be best suited to an owner who know and love the husky breed. He is full of energy and can become bored easily so he will need to be kept company for most of the day and would thrive with an active owner who are committed to taking him for long adventures. He is playful and loves to chase after his toys, particularly squeaky ones! Scotia will make a fantastic companion with the right family.

Bertie came to SSR from the pound, he was picked up as a stray.
Bertie is currently in foster in Inverness.
Bertie is a very friendly and happy boy, he always has a huge smile on his face and loves snuggling up to you. Bertie loves to play with toys with you.
Bertie is dog friendly and currently lives with 2 other dogs, who he gets on great with. Bertie really enjoys the company of other dogs and we would prefer to place him in a home with a resident dog.
We don't think Bertie has had more exposure to busy areas, so would suit a quieter area whilst exposing him to the world.
Bertie's foster home say he really is no bother at all, he is such a character and full of joy.
Bertie is in good health and is neutered, vaccinated and chipped.
Bertie enjoys his walks and especially loves going to the beach on his long line, Bertie does pull on the lead and his foster home are working on this. Bertie does have selective hearing on a walk and not much engagement, but this is being worked on.

The perfect pair.
These girls are a bundle of fun and cuddles. They love getting out for walks with everyone here at the centre. These girls have lived with young children. We are unsure how they will react to cats.
History
Lady Luna and Trixie came in to us due to a change in their owners circumstances.
Re-homing Criteria
Lady Luna and Trixie are a very sweet natured, playful pair. They are at their happiest out together on a walk or climbing on your knee for a cuddle.
They enjoy meeting new people but can be a little vocal when seeing dogs out and about at the centre. They would thrive in a home where they can get plenty of attention and go on lots of adventures. Due to not knowing how these girls are with cats, we would be looking to rehome to a cat free home.
If you are looking for great company and lots of love. this pair are you perfect match!

A little guy with a big heart!
This is the very handsome Bobby!
Bobby LOVES cuddles and getting out for walks. He adores meeting new people and seems pretty relaxed around the other dogs here at the centre.
Although he has no experience with children, he has a very sweet nature so older children should be fine. We are unsure how he would react to cats.
This clever lad has been housetrained and is great with handling.
History
Little Bobby is looking for a new home due to his previous owner sadly passing away.
Re-homing Criteria
Bobby is a sweet natured boy with a big heart and a love for people. He's at his happiest when he's by your side- whether that is snuggled up for cuddles or heading out on one of his beloved walks!
Bobby enjoys meeting new people and is generally relaxed when encountering other dogs when out and about . He would thrive in an active home where he can enjoy regular adventures and plenty of companionship. He could live with another dog, providing they can match his energy.
We would be looking for a home with older children for this little lad. His experience of cats is unknown so we would be looking for a cat free enviroment.
What we do know is that he is affectionate and eager to share his days with someone who will love his friendly, cuddly nature.
If you are looking for a cheery companion who will bring joy to your walks and warmth to your sofa, Bobby could be the perfect match!

Meet Skye – The Big, Bouncy Butterfly
Fostered in Ayr, Scotland
DOB: 28 December 2024
Vaccinated, pet passport ready, not yet spayed (too young)
Skye was rescued in Romania as a tiny puppy with her 2 sisters and spent her whole
puppyhood in rescue kennels with very little space to grow and play. Now, finally in
Scotland, she’s making up for lost time with all the bounce and joy you’d expect from
a giant puppy.
She’s beautiful, energetic, and full of fun — with legs that don’t quite know what
they’re doing yet (think “baby giraffe” energy!). Skye has never lived in a home or
walked on a lead before, so she’ll need a patient family who’s ready to start from
scratch.
She’s friendly, gentle, and loves people, but being such a big pup with big puppy
energy, she’ll need an adult-only home with a large, secure garden.
Skye is not for the faint-hearted — but she is for the big-hearted. With time and
training, she’ll be a loyal and loving best friend.
All three sisters are gentle, sweet, and eager to love. They need dedicated homes
willing to guide them through the basics of home life, but the reward will be three
incredible companions with hearts as big as their paws.

Meet Islay – The Life of the Party
Fostered in Ayr, Scotland
DOB: 28 December 2024
Vaccinated, pet passport ready, not yet spayed (too young)
Islay was rescued in Romania as a tiny pup with her 2 sisters and grew up in
cramped rescue kennels without much space to run or play. But now she’s
here in Scotland, she’s making up for every missed moment — and she’s
doing it with gusto!
The joker of the trio, Islay has absolutely no spatial awareness and barrels
through life with oversized enthusiasm. She hasn’t lived in a home or walked
on a lead before, so her new family will need patience, commitment, and a
good sense of humour.
She’s a big puppy with even bigger energy, so an adult-only home with a
large, secure garden is essential — ideally in a rural area where she can zoom
to her heart’s content.
Islay may be a big girl but she’s pure joy wrapped in fur and will reward her
family with endless laughs and love.
All three sisters are gentle, sweet, and eager to love. They need dedicated
homes willing to guide them through the basics of home life, but the reward
will be three incredible companions with hearts as big as their paws.

Meet Iona – The Sweet, Shy Sister
Fostered in Ayr, Scotland
DOB: 28 December 2024
Vaccinated, pet passport ready, not yet spayed (too young)
Iona’s story began in Romania, where she was rescued as a tiny puppy with her 2
sisters. Sadly, she spent her whole puppyhood in rescue kennels with not much space
or adventure. Despite this tough start, Iona has grown into a gentle, friendly girl with so
much love to give.
She can be a little shy when she first meets new people, but she warms up quickly and
soon becomes your number-one fan. Like her sisters, Iona has never lived in a home or
walked on a lead, so she’ll need patient owners willing to teach her everything from
scratch.
She’ll thrive in an adult-only, rural home with a secure garden, where she can stretch
her legs and build her confidence at her own pace. Sweet, beautiful, and playful — Iona
just needs her chance to shine.
All three sisters are gentle, sweet, and eager to love. They need dedicated homes
willing to guide them through the basics of home life, but the reward will be three
incredible companions with hearts as big as their paws.

Like his namesake, Stitch is quite the character. He has been attending our socialisation walks for a few weeks and has been improving every week. Initially, he was very pully and would whine when he saw other dogs but he can now be distracted with treats and is walking much better. Stitch is a cuddly boy and very affectionate, he is great with children although may be too bouncy for under 5's.. Could Stitch be the one for you?

Rocky was an owner surrender, he had lived a very sheltered life/was overweight and had allergies. Rocky was adopted but returned to SSR after struggling to settle in the home, it was to busy for him.
Rocky is currently in foster in Midlothian, any potential home for Rocky would need to be committed to meeting Rocky over a period of time so he can get to know you.
Rocky is such a friendly and happy boy, once you get to know him and he trusts you. Rocky has had a hard life and not much exposure, he can become overexcited and struggle to settle. In the foster home Rocky has his own bedroom were he can take himself off to and relax in his safe space, over time Rocky is settling and now loves snuggling up with you and watching a film.
Rocky loves to play with his rope toys and has started to play with his ball in the secure field, he loves sunbathing in the garden and will happily chill all day outside if he could. Rocky loves natural chews/kongs and lick mats. Rocky's favourite walk is to the beach he loves running in the sea and gets the zoomies.
Rocky is a quiet boy and is anxious/nervous, but is slowly coming out his shell. Rocky can be unsure about touch especially around his feet, we can get a paw but we are unable to touch his paws ect, but once he trusts you he loves a belly rub!
Rocky can be left in the house on his own for a period of time and is non destructive. Rocky is dog friendly and has lived with dogs, but high energy/playful dogs he does struggle with and becomes overwhelmed, he happily coexists with calm dogs, but at the moment we feel with Rocky's life being unsettled he would be better suited to a pet free home.
Rocky will need a quiet home with rare visitors, he struggles to cope with visitors - we are working on this with him at the moment and why he has a safe space to relax in, he can become jumpy/mouthy. Rocky can have the same response with putting jackets on/phone calls he can become overexcited, he picks up training well and this is improving, but any home would manage this with our support
Rocky is in good health and had a full check up recently, he is neutered and vaccinated. Rocky is nervous of the vets and being touched, so is given calming meds and is muzzled trained for the vets.
Rocky suffers from environmental allergies and if not managed can get cysts on his feet, we currently have this under control and they have been been treated by the vet, he currently takes aqupoel for his allergies.
Rocky really enjoys his walks, he loves being out and we are building up his walks, at the moment we do 3x 20 minute walks a day to the park/woodlands/around the block. Rocky can pull when heading back to the car/home as its his safe space, but walks well on his harness when out. In larger/quiet areas he enjoys his walks on a long lead, he loves a good sniff and is engaged with you on walks.
Rocky walks past dogs at a distance easily but in close proximity he will sometimes pull/jump/bark, as desperate to see the other dog so are working on him being neutral around dogs whilst out.
Rocky is starting to enjoy secure fields, he will play with his ball and zoom about.
Rocky travels well in the car, he currently sits in the back or boot. He can be excited when first gets in the car and will sing to you but soon calms down and will lie down, he does become excited again when you pull into your destination.
Rocky gravitates more to men and would suit a single male home.
A secure garden.
Bullbreed experience.

Odie is a very energetic boy who needs an active owner who will take him for long walks every day where he can chase after his tennis ball. He is very playful and enjoys keeping busy with an activity toy or likes having fun with his soft toys. He would also enjoy having activities to do like agility or flyball, and he would love an owner who likes to run, or hill walk.
He is a sweet, affectionate boy but he is also sensitive to noise so requires a very understanding owner who have the patience to help him manage his insecurities. For the right owner, who can accept him for who he is, he will make a brilliant companion.
