Otto is a lovely old lad who's currently in foster with SGS foster girl Dani. The pair get on well together and are enjoying lots of lovely walks by Loch Lomond where Otto will toddle along happily sniffing as he goes. As a senior dog, Otto loves snoozing on the 'comfy chair', although he does still enjoy the odd bounce around the garden with a ball too! He could be rehomed with another dog for company or on his own.

FRED

Male

1 years

What can we say about young Fred ?

He’s not even 2yo and is perfect in every way. Fred has met other breeds with little reaction. He is a star in the kennel, you wouldn’t know he’s there. He has recovered from surgery on a broken leg and in the whole he walks really well. He managed the walk around Drumpellier on Sunday and really enjoyed being out and about meeting people. There is just nothing bad to say about this boy who has been paw perfect.

Location: West Scotland Greyhound Trust

Children

Jock is looking for an active owner who will enjoy being energetic with him. He may suit living with children aged 10 or more.
Jock is a very happy boy who is very affectionate and loves attention. He can be a little timid at times so would like a quieter home. He has high energy levels and will need a lot of exercise to keep him satisfied. We think he would suit someone who enjoys hill walking or running because he has all the energy needed to keep up. He loves running around our dog park with his toys, and always enjoys learning new tricks. In his quieter moments, Jock loves snuggling up for a cuddle or spending time in a comfy bed.

King is looking for an owner who has had a dog in the past and would benefit from living with someone who has experience with his breed. He would like a home with a garden, and he may suit living with older children aged 12 or more. He has lived with a cat in the past and could potentially live with another dog if introductions go well.
King is a very handsome and sweet natured boy who would love to find an understanding family who will give him all the love he deserves. He is very affectionate and loves being fussed over by everyone that he meets. He is an energetic boy who enjoys walking or having a play with his toys. Unfortunately, he can’t exercise too vigorously, so needs to be kept busy with enrichment or activity toys, and would love to get involved in scent work. He loves meeting his doggy friends for a walk along the beach, and he always enjoys being groomed and pampered in our grooming room.
King suffers from Spondylosis which means his exercise needs to be limited and he requires daily medication. More information will be shared with successful applicants

Storm is looking for an experienced and active owner who has had a large lively dog in the past. She may suit a family with dog savvy older teens, but she needs to be the only pet in her new home. She would like to have company for most of the day, and she wants a private and secure garden so she can enjoy some time outside away from other animals.
Storm is a very happy and energetic girl who loves life and having fun. She likes being active and would enjoy hill walking with her new owners, as well as an activity like scent work to keep her mentally stimulated. She loves playing with toys and always enjoys enrichment time. She can be excitable and boisterous at times, so she does need to continue her training, but likes learning and enjoys her training sessions with us. She is not too keen on other dogs, so to keep her safe she has learnt to wear her muzzle when out on a walk. In her quieter moments Storm is a sweet girl who is very affectionate and enjoys being made a fuss of.

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 ?

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.
