💛 Meet Bonnie – A Bubbly Young Labrador Ready to Shine! 🐾 📍 Currently in Ayr, Scotland 📆 Date of Birth: 24 September 2024 Say hello to Bonnie, a gorgeous young pedigree Labrador from working stock — smaller in size, but with a huge personality! Bonnie is full of love, life, and that classic Labrador charm. She’s the kind of dog who greets every new person like a long-lost friend and can’t wait to play with every dog she meets. Bonnie is looking for a new home because her current owner is going away for a year, and it wouldn’t be fair to put her into foster. We’d love to find her a home straight from her current family so she doesn’t have to go through the stress of moving into rescue. 🐶 About Bonnie Bonnie is a young, happy, and affectionate girl who loves everybody and everything! She’s great with people and other dogs, and she just wants to be part of the fun. However, she’s still very much a puppy — full of energy, excitement, and wiggles! She hasn’t had as much exercise or training as she needs, so she can be a bit giddy and does pull on the lead (purely out of enthusiasm, not aggression). She’s also a little overly enthusiastic when visitors come to the house — she simply can’t contain her joy! With regular exercise, stimulation, and a bit of training, Bonnie will blossom into the amazing companion she’s meant to be. 🏡 Bonnie’s Perfect Home ✔️ Active family or individual with time to train and exercise her ✔️ Secure garden for running and playing ✔️ No small children (she’s too bouncy and might knock them over!) ✔️ Dog-friendly home — she loves canine company ✔️ Doesn’t require experienced owners, just patient ones willing to guide her 🌟 Health & Adoption Info Fully vaccinated, flea treated, and wormed Recently spayed Adoption will include a home check and adoption donation Bonnie is a loving, happy young girl who just needs the right family to help her channel all that energy into fun and learning. She’ll make a wonderful addition to an active home — full of love, laughter, and wagging tails. If you think Bonnie could be the perfect match for you, please get in touch — we’d love to hear from you! 👉 Apply now at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org 📋 Home check and adoption donation apply

Meet Skye – The Big, Bouncy Butterfly
Fostered in Ayr, Scotland
DOB: 28 December 2024
Vaccinated, pet passport ready, not yet spayed (too young)
Skye was rescued in Romania as a tiny puppy with her 2 sisters and spent her whole
puppyhood in rescue kennels with very little space to grow and play. Now, finally in
Scotland, she’s making up for lost time with all the bounce and joy you’d expect from
a giant puppy.
She’s beautiful, energetic, and full of fun — with legs that don’t quite know what
they’re doing yet (think “baby giraffe” energy!). Skye has never lived in a home or
walked on a lead before, so she’ll need a patient family who’s ready to start from
scratch.
She’s friendly, gentle, and loves people, but being such a big pup with big puppy
energy, she’ll need an adult-only home with a large, secure garden.
Skye is not for the faint-hearted — but she is for the big-hearted. With time and
training, she’ll be a loyal and loving best friend.
All three sisters are gentle, sweet, and eager to love. They need dedicated homes
willing to guide them through the basics of home life, but the reward will be three
incredible companions with hearts as big as their paws.

Meet Islay – The Life of the Party
Fostered in Ayr, Scotland
DOB: 28 December 2024
Vaccinated, pet passport ready, not yet spayed (too young)
Islay was rescued in Romania as a tiny pup with her 2 sisters and grew up in
cramped rescue kennels without much space to run or play. But now she’s
here in Scotland, she’s making up for every missed moment — and she’s
doing it with gusto!
The joker of the trio, Islay has absolutely no spatial awareness and barrels
through life with oversized enthusiasm. She hasn’t lived in a home or walked
on a lead before, so her new family will need patience, commitment, and a
good sense of humour.
She’s a big puppy with even bigger energy, so an adult-only home with a
large, secure garden is essential — ideally in a rural area where she can zoom
to her heart’s content.
Islay may be a big girl but she’s pure joy wrapped in fur and will reward her
family with endless laughs and love.
All three sisters are gentle, sweet, and eager to love. They need dedicated
homes willing to guide them through the basics of home life, but the reward
will be three incredible companions with hearts as big as their paws.

Meet Iona – The Sweet, Shy Sister
Fostered in Ayr, Scotland
DOB: 28 December 2024
Vaccinated, pet passport ready, not yet spayed (too young)
Iona’s story began in Romania, where she was rescued as a tiny puppy with her 2
sisters. Sadly, she spent her whole puppyhood in rescue kennels with not much space
or adventure. Despite this tough start, Iona has grown into a gentle, friendly girl with so
much love to give.
She can be a little shy when she first meets new people, but she warms up quickly and
soon becomes your number-one fan. Like her sisters, Iona has never lived in a home or
walked on a lead, so she’ll need patient owners willing to teach her everything from
scratch.
She’ll thrive in an adult-only, rural home with a secure garden, where she can stretch
her legs and build her confidence at her own pace. Sweet, beautiful, and playful — Iona
just needs her chance to shine.
All three sisters are gentle, sweet, and eager to love. They need dedicated homes
willing to guide them through the basics of home life, but the reward will be three
incredible companions with hearts as big as their paws.

Meet Ronnie – Waiting to find his best friend
Location: Ayr
Date of Birth: 27 Sept 2023
Found in the middle of no-where with a very badly infected leg 2x3 times the size it should be. Founded by a group of rescuers in Romania and had his leg amputated but they had no-wheer to put him so he ended up living in a van for three weeks and we believe in that time that his dressings were not changed so by the time he found his way to our partner rescue he again had a very bad infection. With our support we worked with local vets to treat the infection and complete X-rays to ensure all was ok as he still had a stump. Unfortunately it appears that there was still a sharp shard of bone so this required another operation to remove this and make Ronnie much more comfortable.
He appears to have no ongoing issues now and loves to run around and play like he was never injured in the first place and shows no mobility issues. He is not yet lead trained so his family will need to have a secure garden (without steps for access) where they can work on this in a safe environment and be prepared to manouver him around and bring him back into the house but he is currently coming in and getting into his crate himself. He is a little shy and nervous but we believe that in a home with 1:1 focus and attention he will come along brilliantly.
We are looking for a child free home.
He can live with another young female dog.
Also looking for a quiet home so one without too much comings and goings. He is really playful and runs around the garden and loves a good chase. Think you’re the one for Ronnie
Apply here A home check and adoption donation will apply. Let’s help Ronnie take his first steps into a happy, loving future.

Meet Dave – From Lost Soul to Loving Friend
Location: Ayr
Date of Birth: 2 Sept 2020 (though we think he may be a bit younger!)
Dave’s journey hasn’t been easy. He was picked up by dog catchers in Romania, absolutely traumatised and suffering from a severe skin condition that left him with bald patches. At first, we weren’t sure if his coat would ever grow back — but now he’s sporting the most wonderful fluffy fur, almost like a little afro! He’s not too keen on being brushed just yet, but with time and trust we know he’ll learn that pampering can be nice too. When Dave first came to us, he was frightened of everything. With patience and kindness, he’s begun to blossom.
With our General Manager, he’s transformed — bouncing around happily, chasing balls, and showing his playful, affectionate side. Around people he doesn’t know well he can still be nervous, but once he trusts you, he’s a delight. Dave’s Ideal Home Dave is looking for a quiet, patient home where he can continue to build confidence at his own pace.
He’ll need: A secure garden while he learns about the outside world • An adult-only household (or one with older children)
A family who understands he won’t be ready for walks right away but is willing to put in the time and love to help him grow
Companionship — he’s great with other dogs and could happily live with a canine friend No cats please – Dave has not been cat tested
Dave has shown he can be handled well at the vets, and with 1:1 love and reassurance, we know he’ll continue to thrive. He’s affectionate, playful, and has so much potential — he just needs that special someone who can see past his shy beginnings and help him shine

Name: Bentley
D.O.B: 05/08/2023
Gender: Male
Breed: Mixed breed
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Meet Bentley - the gentle boy with a heart full of love! Bentley is a handsome and lovable large/medium boy who is looking for his forever home.
Bentley may be a big boy in size, but his heart is even bigger! Bentley’s journey has not been an easy one. Rescued as a puppy, he spent his early years in a Romanian vet clinic after being diagnosed with diabetes. Despite his condition, Bentley remained a sweet and affectionate pup, but sadly, no rescues offered to take him on due to the ongoing medical costs. That’s when we stepped in and brought him to the UK in June 2024, giving him the second chance he truly deserves.
Since arriving in the UK, Bentley has flourished! With regular vet visits and medication, his diabetes is now stable. He is such a trooper and takes his daily medications and regular blood tests in stride. Bentley is THE most patient, gentle, and loving dog you’ll ever meet, and his calm, positive nature makes him a joy to be around.
Bentley’s diabetes does require him to follow a strict diet to keep his glucose levels stable. His adoptive family will need to commit to maintaining this routine, but Bentley’s loving nature and wonderful personality make it all worthwhile. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and has also lived alongside cats in the vets, so he’d be happy in a multi-pet household. His favourite things include sunbathing, cuddling with his human friends, and being the centre of attention (he’s quite the charmer!).
Bentley has won the hearts of everyone who meets him, and it's impossible not to smile when you see his sweet face. Despite his remarkable qualities, Bentley has had little interest from potential adopters. We believe this is largely due to his ongoing medical condition even though he rarely needs to see a vet now that his condition is well under control. As a charity, we are committed to continuing Bentley’s insulin medication costs for as long as necessary, but what he truly needs now is a family who will appreciate his kind spirit and give him the love he deserves.
Please note that Bentley would thrive in an adult-only home where he can live safely with his strict diet and no temptation for food outside of his prescribed meals.
If you think you can offer Bentley the loving home he deserves, please pop on to our website and complete a pre-adoption application at https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org/dog-application-form. (Please note a home check and adoption donation will apply).
We know Bentley has so much love to give, and with your help, he’ll find the perfect home where he can live the rest of his days surrounded by warmth, love, and cuddles. Thank you for considering giving this incredible boy the life he deserves!

Name: Travis
D.O.B: 30/10/2017
Gender: Male
Breed: Mixed
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Travis is a mixed breed (we think with some GSD) from Romania born on the 30 Oct 2017 and came into rescue along with his 2 siblings and has not been rehomed with them yet due to his disability. He has been with us in the UK since May 2018 and now we would love to find a very special home for this very special boy.
Travis was born with issues in his hips and the many vets in Romania diagnosed many different things but it was only when he came into our care and seeing our vets (and having more X-Rays) that we confirmed a diagnosis.
Travis does not have any hip sockets – they never formed. So his hips do not stay in place and move about which he moves. He has never needed any pain relief and is a strong dog and copes very well and isn’t in any pain. Initially our vets said he should be PTS but after seeing him playing very happily, in no pain and with the strength that he has in his front end he agreed he has a great quality of life and deserves a chance to live it to the full. He loves running round the garden and playing so needs a nice big garden and lots of space. We do need his home to have an understanding vet who is willing to work with us if necessary for any decisions on his future treatment and this would be part of our adoption contract.
Fabulous with other dogs especially boy dogs. He loves to play out with the boys.
Travis can be a funny with new people and can be a bit barky. It doesn’t take him long to warm up and we think it’s a bit of territory guarding as he is fine when out and about.
Travis walks fine on a lead and travels well in the car and has been well behaved at the groomers.
Travis would be perfectly happy in a home where he never goes for a walk as long as he has a big garden to run around and people to give him love and attention. He is a very sweet soul.
If you this you can offer Travis the extra special home and family he needs we would really like to hear from you. Please pop onto our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. Please note a home check and adoption donation will apply x

Names: Tessa & Tosca
D.O.B: 20/06/2018
Gender: Female (neutered)
Breed: Mixed
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Please note that Tessa & Tosca must live in a child free, pet free and dog free home and would ideally be rehomed together.
Tessa and Tosca were in a shelter together for 3 years before coming under our care. During that time they were well cared for, but did not receive as much human attention as they perhaps needed. As a results they came to us as very timid pups and have both been adopted separately and come back to us as they were too timid apart to live in a home. We would therefore love to see these girls adopted together as they rely on each other for their confidence. At the rescue they enjoy playing, sleeping and cuddling. Tessa and Tosca have done a little lead training at the rescue, but we would need a family willing to put in the time and effort to gain their trust and work on their training slowly and with our support. We know it’s a big ask to find these two a home together, but we like to dream big for our dogs. If you have the time, patience and love for these girls please pop onto our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form.

Name: Mischu
D.O.B: 01/05/2012
Gender: Male (neutered)
Breed: Mixed
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Please note Mischu must live in a dog and pet free home.
Mischu came to us with his sister Iza after spending 8 years in a shelter with very little human socialisation. When they came to us they were very scared and shy dogs. He is very bonded with his sister, but isn’t keen on other dogs so if they are rehomed separately it needs to be into a pet and dog free home. When they arrived they were both very scared of everything, but over time have relaxed into life here and become firm favourites with our volunteers. Mischu is the most confident of the two, but his little sister Iza definitely wears the pants in their relationship. Mischu loves doing the zoomies, snoozing, food and a cuddle. He will need work on lead training so his family will need a secure home and garden to begin his training. If you can offer him love, comfort and patience we would really like to hear from you. Please pop onto our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. Please note a home check and adoption donation will apply x

Name: Iza
D.O.B: 01/05/2012
Gender: Female (neutered)
Breed: Mixed
Location: Ayr, Scotland
Please note, Iza must live in a dog and pet free home.
Before coming into our rescue Iza had spent her entire life living in a shelter. She had been rescued as a puppy (along with her brother) by a well-meaning rescuer, but 8 years later was still sitting in a pen having never known much social interaction. As a result she arrived with us as a very timid little thing. Over time her confidence has grown and she is now an absolute delight. She loves a good fuss and cuddle and despite being much smaller than her brother, she definitely is the boss out of the two. She is a friendly lady and is happy with new people pretty quickly after being introduced and she really loves to snuggle. She will need work on lead training so her family will need a secure home and garden to begin her training. If you can offer her love, comfort and patience we would really like to hear from you. Please pop onto our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. Please note a home check and adoption donation will apply x
