Buster is looking for someone who has owned a dog before and can continue his basic training. He would like to be kept company for some of the day until he settles in. Buster may be able to live with high school aged children and is looking to be the only pet.
Buster is a lovely and friendly boy who, although can be shy to begin with, is quick to make friends with a little encouragement. He is full of fun and energy but can forget his manners and will become boisterous if he gets too excited, so he requires a patient owner who is keen to work on his training. He loves chasing after a tennis ball and he may enjoy doing an activity like flyball to burn off his energy. Buster is a boy who likes to be on the go, and he enjoys having dog walking buddies to go out with, so he would be an ideal companion for someone who enjoys the outdoors and exploring new places.
Buster will be a fantastic partner for someone who is willing to put a bit of work into him.

Pringle is looking for an experienced owner who have had nervous dogs before. He would like access to a secure private garden so he can enjoy time outdoors away from other dogs. Pringle would like to be kept company for most of the day in an adult only & pet free household.
Pringle is a nervous lad who is desperate to find an understanding owner that will take things slowly with him. He is affectionate around those he knows well but is unsure of new people so needs a patient and committed owner who are prepared to meet him several times before he feels ready to go home. Pringle has shown dog reactivity and he can become easily overwhelmed and frustrated so requires an owner who can manage his introductions carefully.
Once he has a good relationship with you, Pringle is a sweetheart who will happily jump up beside you for snuggles. He is so eager to please and he looks up to his favourite people for guidance and reassurance which is key when continuing his training. He loves his toys and will happily run around our paddocks all day chasing after them. Being a collie, he does need plenty of exercise and he would be the ideal jogging partner for someone who enjoys keeping active. He is incredibly clever who likes to be kept busy and he really enjoys his enrichment sessions.
Pringle has a lot of potential to be a wonderful companion for the right owner, could it be you?
Pringle has received some veterinary treatment whilst with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

We have now matched Maple to several applicants and cannot accept any new interest for her.
Maple is looking for an owner who can keep her company for the majority of the day. She would like her new owner to take her along to puppy training classes to continue her socialisation. Maple may be able to live with children that are used to dogs and other pets.
Maple is a happy go lucky girl who is a joy to be around. She is very friendly with everyone she meets and loves being made a fuss of but is equally happy entertaining herself with her toys. Her favourite game is tug which she would eagerly play for hours! She is full of energy and she will enjoy long walks once she’s old enough. Her new owners need to be aware of the time and commitment taking on a puppy takes as all of her basic training will need to be started from the very beginning which will require patience.
Maple didn’t have the best start to life and we are incredibly thankful to those who supported us so we could get her to where she is today. She deserves a wonderful family to live a fun and active life with.
Maple has had veterinary treatment whilst with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

We are looking for a foster home for Hardy with the view to adopt.
Hardy's fosterers must be local to Dumfries as he will need to see our vet regularly, probably monthly.
Hardy came to us as stray and we very quickly realised that things weren't quite right. He had problems with one of his back legs, an extreme case of stiffness in his stifle on his left back leg which was operated on successfully 5 weeks ago, and needs another months cage rest. He is in no pain, and our vet is very happy with his progress, although recommends lead walks only at the moment, and no off lead exercise.
Given his age, he will need the same as any other puppy, sosialisation, training, love and care, but exercise will need to be limited, and no off lead exercise until the vet gives him the all clear.
A steady dog at home will be fine, and infact be good for his learning. He is young enough to learn to live with cats, no children under 10 yrs due to the nature of his situation, a secure garden to help with house training, and someone who is home a lot of the time.
All food and medical costs will be covered by the charity while he is being fostered.
Given everything Hardy has been through already in his short life, he doesnt bear a grudge, infact quite the opposite. He loves to spend time with you, happy to go for a walk and loves a cuddle. We need to find a home where they will show Hardy what he's been missing. Could that be you? He's got his paws crossed.

We are looking for a foster home for little Laurel with the view to adopt in the future.
Laurels fosterers must be local to Dumfries as he will need to see our vet regularly, probably monthly.
He came to us as stray and we very quickly realised that things weren't quite right. He has problems with his back legs (slipping patella's in both back legs). This is being monitored at the moment but may need surgery in the future.
Given his age, he will need the same as any other puppy, sosialisation, training, love and care, the only difference to your average puppy is his exercise may need to be limited.
A steady dog at home will be fine, and infact good for his learning, he is young enough to learn to live with cats, no children under 10 yrs due to the nature of their situation, a secure garden to help with house training, and someone who is home a lot of the time.
All food and medical costs will be covered by the charity while he is being fostered.
Laurel is the happiest, friendliest little chap, and loves nothing than to spend time with you getting a cuddle. He is in no pain, and apart from the limited exercise he is a typical spaniel puppy, into everything! Could you be the one to turn round this fella's rough start?

A bouncy happy girl.
This girl has loads of energy and a real zest for life. She loves nothing more than a fuss and lots of attention.
Minnie is and active girl and is looking for someone who can match her energy. She has mixed well with another male dog here at the centre but we are unsure how she would react to cats. As she came to us as a stray we are unsure if she has any experience with children but due to her high energy we will be looking for famailies with older children, if any at all.
History
Minnie came to us as an unclaimed stray.
Re-homing Criteria
We are looking for an active home with a secure garden. She could live with another dog but we are unsure how she would react to cats. Minnie gets quite 'mouthy' when she gets excited, so a home with no children or children of 10yrs plus would be a must. Minnie is a real pocket rocket, and would need more than round the block a couple if times a day, she really does enjoy her exercise.

Lovely lad with lots of love to give!
Little Pocus is a real sweetheart. He loves a fuss and has adored everyone he has met here so far. He has mixed well with other young dogs since being here and is a firm favourite with the volunteers. He loves a walk and will be looking for an active home. Pocus is just young so he will need a patient owner who can support him though all his basic training.
History
Little Pocus came to us as a stray so we don't have any information on his history.
Re-homing Criteria
Pocus is an young active guy so is looking for a home to match his puppy energy. We would be looking for a home with a secure garden so he has a safe space to work on his housetraining and off lead training. He would happily live with another dog(s) and with careful introductions he could live with a resident cat(s) . Due to his zest for life and still young bouncy nature we would ideally be looking for a home with children over the age of 8 years who are used to a energetic dog. Someone who is at home most of the time is a must due to his age and the training that he will require at this young age. Pocus is a completely blank canvas so someone who understands the need for training to assist his learning and to allow him to reach his full potential.
A family who has the time and the excitement for training is perfect for this young boy ! Could you be the ones he is looking for ?

Poppy is looking for an active home who can give her all the attention she deserves.
Little Poppy is a happy girl with bags of energy and lots of love to give. She enjoys the company of other dogs here at the centre and has previously lived with cats. Poppy is an active girl who is looking for a home with plenty of company and adventures to be had. She is housetrained and is very sociable with people. She has loved everyone she has met here and is becoming a firm favourite with the volunteers.
History
Poppy is looking for a fresh start due to her previous owners feeling like they could no longer give her the life she deserves.
Re-homing Criteria
Poppy is looking for an active home with a secure garden. She has never lived with children but due to her good nature we believe she could be happy around children of 8 years and above. As previously mentioned, Poppy will be happy to live with another dog(s) and cat(s). Given her breed, whoever is lucky enough to adopt her must understand her grooming needs. Cocker spaniels crossed with poodles need regular brushing and clipping. The clipping should be done every 8-10wks and will cost in the region of £40-£60. Please keep this extra cost in mind before you apply.

Name: Willow
D.O.B: 01/12/2021
Gender: Male
Location: Cornwall
Willow is a Welsh Collie living with his current family in Cornwall. He will be 3 years old in December and is up to date with his vaccination etc but has not been neutered at the advice of his vets (we would suggest that this is revisited).
Willow has been with his current family since he was a puppy and has been brought up around children. Unfortunately due to the family's circumstances, they are not able to keep Willow as they are unable to offer him the continued exercise, mental stimulation and training required for this very clever dog. Willows family explain that Willow is a lovely dog who is very loyal, smart, affectionate and amazing with their son. He also loves to play football!
Willow does have some areas that required further training such as recall (although he will come back to a ball thrower, as he loves a ball), he will try and chase cars (but this is managed using a particular lead) and he does not like some sounds e.g. the hoover and will snap at these.
Willow loves attention and walks, and is normally good with other dogs and plays nicely with the other dogs in the family. He does bark sometimes but not excessively, and he is not destructive at all in the home or garden. He is also housetrained.
His family believe he would live a happier life with a family able to give him the time and adventures he needs and willing to continue with his training.
We would like to see Willow in a rural home, ideally with experienced collie / working dog owners who understand this breeds needs.
If you have a Willow-shaped hole in your life please pop on to our website and complete a pre-application application form (https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org)
Please note a £350 adoption fee will apply and a virtual home will be required.Thank you!

Daisy is looking for an active owner who have dealt with young, energetic dogs before. She would like easy access to a garden so she can burn off some of her energy. Daisy would like to be kept company for most of the day and may be able to live with teenagers.
Daisy is a friendly, loving and fun girl who is always on the go! Whilst she is mostly confident and happy to say hello, she does have a worried side at times so she would like an understanding owner who can build on her confidence during the moments she feels this way. Daisy is boisterous at times which can result in her mouthing so she would only be suited to a home with teenaged, aged children. She is playful and full of energy so would like an active owner who can give her plenty of exercise and consider doing an activity with her such as agility. She loves her walks and playing with any and every toy in our paddocks or running around with her many doggy friends she has made at the Home.
Daisy hasn’t had an easy time but she will make a fantastic pet with an owner committed to putting the time into her.

Mimi & Freddo are looking for an experienced owner who are prepared to work on their training. They would like access to their own private garden so they can enjoy their time together outdoors in a safe area and would like to be kept company all day. Mimi & Freddo need to be the only pets in an adult only home.
Mimi & Freddo are an adorable mother and son duo looking for their new home together. Due to a past experience, Mimi can be nervous of new people and takes time to get to know you whereas Freddo is more than happy to come up and say hello. They need an understanding and patient owner who can continue to build on their socialisation & confidence. They both thoroughly enjoy their treats which is a good way for Mimi to make new friends and for Freddo to use his brain during some enrichment games. They can be vocal towards unfamiliar dogs and do need to continue work in this area when out for walks but they adore each other’s company and will usually run around our paddocks together and play fight. Both are very loving, affectionate and love to cuddle beside you on the couch.
Mimi & Freddo will require a bit of work, but with patience and consistency, they are sure to make very loyal companions.

Name: Trixie
D.O.B: 25/04/2023
Gender: Female
Size: Small/medium
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Trixie is a very small-medium sized in everything except her ears (which we don’t think she’s ever going to grow into!). She was found on the streets as a small puppy and taken to the shelter of the lady we work with in Romania. It is a small shelter where the dogs all get lots of attention and live in small sociable groups …very much like what we do with our dogs here in Scotland.
Trixie is a lovely natured dog who has been fabulous with all the other dogs she has met here and she’s very sociable with the volunteers. Once she overcomes her initial shyness, she just loves to play chase and have snuggles in equal measures.
Trixie is not currently spayed as she has not yet had her first season, and we would advise this be done three months after this. Trixie has done some lead work in Romania and, although it was only in a rural area, she did very well! She is crate-trained and has been clean in the house here ever since she arrived. She has had all her relevant tests in Romania, but we will do a UK brucellosis test before she leaves us too.
