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

Piper is described as a black Cocker Spaniel. I like to be kept busy! Piper is a busy spaniel who finds it very difficult to stay still! She is fantastic with people; she is always happy to say hello but can become overly excited and may knock very young children over. Piper is very sociable around dogs and would most likely benefit from having a canine pal going forward. We have no information regarding her suitability with cats.

She is a young dog and still learning, she will need some basic training including housetraining. History Piper came to us from another organisation. Re-homing Criteria Piper is a young, active dog that needs to be kept busy. She will need plenty of physical and mental stimulation to prevent boredom. Piper has shown signs of distress in kennels when she is left alone so she needs a home with someone there most of the time to keep her company.

More about me... (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.

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.
