Comet at Dogs Trust - West Calder

A Male tri-colour Crossbreed who is age 5 to 7 years old

Good With Dogs

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: Bentyhead West Calder EH55 8LE

Likes and dislikes: Comet is a super dog who loves to explore on his walks, he likes to have a good root around in the long grass and sniff all the interesting smells. He's an intelligent boy who knows most of his basic commands and will happily show off in exchange for a few tasty biscuits. Comet is a gentle, shy guy who needs a little time to get to know you. He is a sensitive wee fellow who needs help to build his confidence.

Type of home needed: Comet would prefer a quiet home where he can relax and get to know his new owners slowly. Comet was originally a stray so needs a secure garden with people who have had dogs before. Comet has so much potential and just needs a family who can help him realise it.

Minstrel at Greyhound Awareness League

A Male Black Lurcher who is age ~2

Good With Children Not Good With Other Pets Not Good With Dogs

Contact Shelter Adoption Form

Pet Location: Kennels

Minstrel is a lurcher, who is approximately two years old and is a gorgeous, affectionate and playful boy. In the home environment he is calm and relaxed. He loves cuddles and is fully housetrained.

Minstrel has had some basic training in the past but has also taken to clicker training with enthusiasm! He loves to interact with people, although he can be a little shy around men initially, and responds well to praise and encouragement. Minstrel bonds strongly with people and he does have some mild separation issues but these could be improved on greatly within a home environment.

We don’t think that Minstrel has had the opportunity to learn about things that he may encounter outside of the home environment and as a result finds this stressful and is not comfortable with other dogs. Minstrel would have to be the only dog in the home and he does not like cats.

Minstrel needs a special home with someone understanding who would take the time to help him gain confidence, to settle and enable him to carry on with his training plan; this would be fully supported by a Canine Behaviourist who currently is working with him. This is what she has to say about him;

‘Minstrel is a lovely boy who needs a calm environment to improve his confidence and to continue with his training. He took to agility and clicker training instantly and is improving greatly on his impulse control. Anyone who considers taking him into their home would see that with patience and understanding he has huge potential’.

Shadow at Borders Pet Rescue

A Male Crossbreed German Shepherd

Not Good With Other Pets

Contact Shelter Adoption Form

Shelter Location: Craigsford Earlston Scottish Borders TD4 6DJ

Please note: initial viewings are by appointment only. Thanks.

Shadow is around 4 years old and is a German Shepherd Cross.

Shadow came in to us from another rescue where they had been unable to find him his forever home through no fault of his own. Shadow currently weighs about 45kg and even though he is on a bit of a diet he is still a very big and powerful dog so anyone interested must seriously consider if they are physically able to manage him. Furthermore, being such a big dog, he will need a home where he has enough space inside and also a garden big enough to play in.

Shadow would be best suited to a quiet home without young children or cats, but he could potentially live with another dog
