BRUCE is described as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Sex Male Age 2 years old Size Medium Dogs Yes Cats No Children 12+ Bruce has been in pound kennels for a period of time, SSR have offered him a place with us. Bruce has recently came to SSR, he has spent a few days in kennels and is now in a foster home in Edinburgh. Bruce is such a happy and friendly boy, he loves humans and getting a good scratch. At the moment he is very quiet, he has not had much of a life in 2 years, but he will start to come out his shell as time goes on and he becomes more confident. Bruce loves his food and is food motivated, which will help with training. He doesn't have much training at all, so this will start in the Foster Home but any home will need to continue his training. Bruce loves to take in the world, he loves teddys and fluffy blankets to sleep and snuggle into. Bruce has tested well with dogs, he has been with another dog and had a play. He has walked past dogs in kennels with no reaction, he is currently in foster with 3 other dogs so we will update as he settles in. Bruce doesn't seem to know what toys are yet. Bruce is in good health and is neutered, Bruce will be chipped and vaccinated. Bruce loves his walks and walks well on the lead, he can be strong but takes direction well when on the lead. Bruce enjoys his walks and is neutral around dogs, he is happy to walk past if barking at him and doesn't react. Bruce hasn't be walked much with being in the pound, so will need to build up his walking. Bruce loves being in the car and travels very well. A secure garden would be a plus. Committed to further training. Somebody at home to begin with - we don't know what Bruce is like being left.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Cookie

Cookie is described as a Jack Russel Cross Poodle. Home Requirements An active owner More about Cookie Cookie is looking for an active owner who have had dogs before. She will need to be kept company all day until she settles into a well-established routine. She requires an adult only home where she will be the only pet. Cookie is a sweet girl who can be a bit shy and vocal towards people she doesn’t know but does warm up quickly if allowed to say hello at her own pace. She does become attached to her favourite people quickly and struggles if they leave her so she will need an owner who are patient and committed to working on this with her. Cookie enjoys her walks with other dogs and she can have doggy friends out and about, but she has shown that she does not always want to share her people or food around them so will only be suited as an only pet. She is full of energy and loves chasing after a tennis ball so would probably love to have an activity to do to keep her busy mind occupied. Cookie’s coat will require regular grooming; however, this is something she isn’t comfortable with. Her new owners will need to build up a positive association with being groomed.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Archie

Archie is described as a tri colour Collie. Archie – Loyal, Loving, and Ready for Adventure! Archie is a handsome Collie with plenty of love to give! While he has lived with other dogs in the past, we have found that he can be reactive, so he may be best suited as the only dog in the home. His reaction to cats is unknown. Archie is both housetrained and crate trained. He enjoys his walks, though he can pull on the lead and may feel uneasy when approached by strangers. He knows several basic commands and is eager to learn, but he isn’t a fan of car travel. Archie is looking for a patient and understanding owner who can continue his training and help him build confidence. History Archie was handed into the centre for rehoming due to change in circumstances. Re-homing Criteria Archie is looking for an active and experienced collie home that can provide him with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. He thrives on attention and would love a family that can keep him engaged with training, playtime, and exercise. As Archie has been around children before, we can consider homes with older children who understand how to interact respectfully with dogs. However, he would likely be happiest as the only dog in the home. A home with Collie or herding breed experience would be beneficial, as Archie will do best with someone who understands his needs. Archie is a dog who just loves to be out and about , loves his walks , he is not a once around the block sorta guy ! A full toy box and plenty of enrichment activities will keep him happy! If you think you can offer Archie the loving and stimulating home he needs, we’d love to hear from you! Homefinder Questionnaire If you'd like to help rehome Archie simply complete the Homefinder Questionnaire to get started. ADOPT ARCHIE Please support us ... DONATE NOW

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Stella

Stella is described as a white with brindle Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross. A very sweet soul looking for a family to call her own. Stella is a pleasure to be around. She loves walks, playing in the snuffle wood here at the centre and a cuddle on the couch. She has never lived with cats so we are unsure how she would react to them but her previous owners have told us she was good with older children and ok around some other dogs. History Stella is looking for a fresh start due to a change in personal circumstances in her previous home. Re-homing Criteria Stella is an amazing girl who is full of so much love to give ! Stella is looking for an active home as she just loves to be out and about walking and exploring new areas! A home with a fully secure garden is a must. With sensible introductions at the centre Stella could possibly live with a calm neutered male dog in the household but we would be looking for a cat free enviroment for her. We would only really consider homes with dog savvy children over the age of 8 years due to her her habit of forgetting her size sometimes . Stella absolutely loves company so someone who is around most of the day and has lots of time to spend with her would be ideal! This gorgeous girl loves to play and run about but then she is also at her happiest when she is snuggled in beside you for some cuddles ! Stella weighs in at about 34kg at the moment , but do not let that put you off.... that's just 34kg of pure love she has to give ! ADOPTION PROCEDURE Please support us ... DONATE NOW
