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

Biscuit is described as a tan and white Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Loving elderly lady looking in search of company! Biscuit is an elderly lady who has trouble with her vision. We have found her to be a typical staffy, full of fun and loves plenty of cuddles! Biscuit is not a fan of other dogs so a home where she will be the only pet is a must. She has lived with children and got on well with them so we can consider households with children 10 years and up. She is housetrained and travels well in the car. History Biscuit originally came into the centre as a stray. She was adopted but sadly returned due to her anxiety when left alone. Re-homing Criteria Biscuit struggles when she is left alone, she is an elderly lady looking for a home where she will have company most of the time. She has impaired vision but can still navigate her way around, it certainly doesn’t hold her back! Biscuit needs to be the only dog in her new home but we can consider families with dog-savvy children (10 years and up). A secure garden where she can potter around in a safe place away from other dogs is essential. This lovely lady just wants company and plenty of cuddles, if you can see yourself cosied up on the sofa with this lovely lady then please get in touch.

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

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

Storm is described as a light brindle French Bulldog. Lovely lad in need of support, guidance, and consistency! This is the handsome Storm, a lovely wee dog on the hunt for an active home where he will be the only pet. He has come to us from a home with children (10 years plus) whom he got on well with, but he would be too boisterous for younger children. Storm has lived with another dog and cat but was said to struggle with sharing space resulting in conflict therefore, Storm is looking for a home where he will be the only pet. He is housetrained and crate trained but needs help being more accustomed to travelling in the car. History Storm was handed into the centre for rehoming due to a relationship split. Re-homing Criteria Storm is looking for a home where he will be the only pet. He can be reactive towards other dogs and will need to learn to associate the presence of strange dogs with praise and treats via the use of counterconditioning and positive reinforcement. This will take time and patience and progress will be achieved as quickly as Storm is comfortable with. He would benefit from having access to a secure garden for off-lead exercise away from other dogs. We can consider homes with children 10 years and up after introductions at the centre. Storm is a young, active dog and is still learning. He needs an owner with time and patience to help guide him, we are confident that in time, he will make the most wonderful, loving companion!

(Olive) now Willow has just arrived with us after seeing her appeal on FB. Her world had fell apart after being dumped/abandoned by her previous scum of an owner tied up to a railing with another dog.   What can we say about Willow, shes a very submissive girl who is hand shy. We hate to think what shes been through in her short life. When we 1st met her she would crawl along low to the ground to meet you, if you moved your hand quickly she flinched but she still wanted to meet us, shes a very brave girl indeed.  Today we saw her play with some toys, oh boy was that lovely to see. She was so happy running around the paddock or in her case plodding around it throwing the toys in the air and puppy bowing/jumping at them, this made us smile,  she is such a  sweetheart and she has the most beautiful eyes.  Willow lets us touch her all over, we take this slowly and gently with her and shes fine with it. She loves her food which is a great tool for training. She walks great on the lead and has passed a few dogs at the kennels - had a wee sniff through the bars then walked on.  Willow has just arrived into a temp foster home. Its like shes never been in a home before as shes scared of everything. Shes a brave girl and is pushing through it and exploring with caution. She needs a gentle owner that will take time with her and let her come into herself. She is like a puppy seeing things for the 1st time. There are other dogs in the home but they are only seeing each other through gates at the moment and ignoring each other. She is learning that humans are nice and she is loving her snuggle time each day she gets closer and closer, we are taking it in her time, love this girl so much, love seeing her starting to love life xxx We will be updating her progress once we learn more about her x Type of home needed … Bullbreed experienced home  No kids  No other dogs (at the moment still under assessment) A garden would be an added plus  Willow needs time to decompress and relax with somebody who will give her the time, love and patience she needs. ​ SCOTTISH REGISTERED CHARITY -  SC045602 Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 – License Number: MLC/ARA/003 from Midlothian Council.

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

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

Max is described as a Labrador cross. Can live with Dogs Max is looking for an experienced owner who is willing to continue his training with the help of a recommended professional trainer. He needs an adult only home where he won’t be around children. He needs a quiet home, away from the city, which has a private and secure garden. Max is a sweet and happy boy who has bags of potential and would be a very rewarding pet for a committed owner who is prepared to continue to work on his training. He is still very boisterous, and can be very nervous around new people and tends to be vocal until he gets to know them, so he does require a dedicated person who can commit the time needed to working on these issues. Max is very smart though, and is very motivated by food rewards, so he is always keen to please. When he is with people that he trusts, Max is affectionate and has a lot of love to share. He has lots of energy and does require high levels of exercise, and would enjoy running or hill walking.  When Max’s training has improved, we think he would benefit by doing an activity like agility or flyball. Max is very playful and loves having fun with his toys or using his nose during enrichment activities. He also likes running around with his doggy friends in our dog park, and could potentially live with a tolerant dog if introductions go well. Max will require several visits before going to a new home, giving him time to build a bond with his new owners. Visits will also allow new owners to spend time with our training team so they can work on Max’s training together.
