Blaze is described as a white Springer cross Cocker. Our Brilliant Blaze Blaze came into the centre with his brother Taz, through no fault of their own. History Blaze came into the center with his brother Taz due to their previous owners ill health. Re-homing Criteria Blaze came to us with his brother Taz. They have not always lived together and we would happily rehome them separately as long as there was a well established dog in the house. Although Blaze has never lived with children he does enjoy when they come up to say hello, we would consider rehoming to families with dog savvy children of 10years +. Blaze loves his walks so his new family would ideally be quite active , he adores all the new sights and smells a walk gives him. Once he knows you his recall is really good also, but we would always recommend not letting any rescue dog off the lead for a few weeks. Blaze is quite happy in the house and would suit someone who works part time . Blaze has never lived with cats so we could not say how he would be sharing his house with them .He loves to be outside so ideally he would have a fully secure garden of fencing of at least 5foot. Could you have a Blaze size spot on the sofa ? ADOPTION PROCEDURE Please support us ... DONATE NOW
Read More →New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Moffat Dogs
Moffat Dogs is described as a black German Shepherd cross. The famous Moffat Dogs!! Finally after 6 months we feel these guys are ready to find their forever homes. A lot of work has gone into the 6 dogs that were picked up as strays near Moffat in July 2023. With the help of Dumfries & Galloway Police and Lee Heron, of Lost Dogs Dumfries and Galloway, these dogs have been given a second chance at life. It has been a huge challenge for such a small organisation to deal with 6 feral dogs all at the same time, a challenge many rescues would not have undertaken, but the team at the centre rose to the challenge and we now feel the time has come to look for new homes for them all. Due to the background of these dogs we will be looking for very specific homes, any applications received will be strongly vetted for suitability. Potential homes will need to have experience of under-socialised dogs, preferably large breeds, have a large fully enclosed garden with solid fencing of 6ft + as they have all attempted to clear our 7ft secure paddock fencing. Any potential homes will need to be extremely patient and understanding with their training going forward. We believe them to be around 2 years old. History These dogs came to us as unclaimed strays Re-homing Criteria Any potential adopters of these dogs must be prepared to regularly visit the centre multiple times a week to develop a bond , this is a must and non-negotiable , so please keep this in mind when applying especially if you are not local to the centre. We believe these guys to have only lived in a multi dog, kennel situation with little social interaction from people. They would all benefit from a confident, well socialised, neutered dog in the household of the opposite sex. The improvement in these guys since being with us is nothing short of amazing in such a short time, but there is still a long road ahead and any adopters would need to be extremely patient and understanding going forward with their training, as it is unlikely they would ever be an average pet dog. We will not be considering homes with children under 18yrs or cats. A home where someone is around most of the time is important, and we are looking for very quiet homes and locations as they would not cope in a busy environment. A totally secure garden is essential with solid fencing, not mesh or wire, of at least 6ft as they have all attempted to clear our 7ft fencing around the paddock area. Each dog has their own separate needs and personality and we will be reading through all applications to see if any would match a specific dogs requirements. When completing the Homefinding Questionnaire, please give as much information as possible on your experience and circumstances. These dogs have come on leaps and bounds since coming to the centre, but any potential adopters will need to understand that leaving us will be a massive set back to their development , but this does need to happen so they can move forward. Adopters need to understand that it will be a long road moving forward, and will not be a easy task, but the reward when they are settled would be second to none! If you feel you have the right experience, environment, time and patience to give one of our Moffat dogs a home please complete our Homefinding Questionnaire and we will be in touch if we feel you'd be a good match.

Read More →New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Tigger
Tigger is described as a Cross Breed. Home Requirements Away from the city centre An experienced owner An active owner A home with garden Tigger is looking for an active and experienced owner who has had a large breed dog in the past. His new owner will need to dedicate the time to work on his training, and should live in a quiet area away from the city. He needs to be the only pet in an adult only home without children. A home with a private garden is also required. Tigger is a very sweet boy who loves people and would love to find an owner who will let him snuggle on the sofa with them. He can be very boisterous so does need more training, but he is also easily overwhelmed when on walks and is reactive towards other dogs, so he does require a committed person who can manage his walks and interactions while they help him gain confidence. He would benefit by visiting hired dog parks where he can enjoy some time offlead without the worry of seeing other dogs. He is an energetic dog so he does like to keep active and will enjoy getting plenty of lead walks, and would enjoy running or hill walking. He is a playful boy who loves having fun with his toys and he enjoys enrichment too. Tigger has lots of potential and is sure to be a very rewarding and loyal companion for a committed owner.
