More about Bumble
Bumble is looking for an owner who have had large, energetic breeds before. He would like to be kept company for some of the day and to have access to a garden where he has space to burn off his energy. Bumble may be able to live with older teenagers but is looking to be the only pet in the home.
Bumble is a sweetheart of a boy who is very friendly with everyone he meets. He forgets he is a big lad sometimes and can get over excited when he gets the zoomies in our paddocks so would be best suited in a home with dog savvy teenagers who won’t be worried by this. He is full of fun, playful and would like an active owner who will take him different places to explore. Bumble loves his treats (even fruit and veg!) and is keen to please so would thrive from continuing his basic training with his new family.
He can make doggy friends out and about and is generally good with them but he would like to be the only pet in his home so all the attention can be focused on him. In true bully style, after a fun filled day, he loves nothing more than to snuggle up beside his humans for some fussing.
During his stay, Bumble has been assessed by an independent breed assessor who deemed that he is not a banned breed. He is just a lovable boy who deserves a loving family to call his own.

With the right introductions, Bonnie can make doggy friends though, like most staffies, she can be over the top at times! She is full of energy and loves to zoom around our paddocks chasing after her squeaky toy but also enjoys mental enrichment activities, so she doesn’t become bored.

More about Lady

When she has been given the time to get to know you, she is incredibly loving, loyal and will happily perch herself on your lap for fussing. Although Lady is an older girl, she does enjoy her sniffy walks and going to the beach for a paddle in the sea. In the right home, she will bring unconditional love and companionship.

More about Benji

He is very energetic and thoroughly enjoys his walks whether it be to the nature reserve or down to the beach where he can dip his paws into the water.

Whilst mostly a happy boy, he does know what he does and doesn’t like, but by managing his behaviour carefully, any unnecessary frustrations can be avoided.

More about Ozzy
Ozzy is looking for an experienced terrier owner that have knowledge of reactivity. He would prefer to have a garden, so he has his own space to decompress as he can feel a little bit overwhelmed when out on walks. He needs to be an only pet in an adult only home.
Ozzy is a sweet boy who can be very affectionate and loving to those he knows well. He can come across as confident, but he does have a worried side to him so needs an understanding owner who can help build his confidence. Despite his age, he is full of life and enjoys keeping active or going for walks along to the beach where he can have a splash in the sea.
He can find being walked in busier areas a bit too much, which results in him being very vocal, so he will need an owner who is patient and willing to work on this with him and take him to quieter areas for his walks. Due to how overwhelmed he can be when out and about, he will require a garden of his own where he can enjoy enrichment activities such as sniffing out treats in a snuffle mat.

More about Alan
Alan is looking for a home away from the city centre with an active owner who has had experience with collies. He could potentially live with older teens but would need to be the only pet in a home with access to a private garden.
Alan is a young and excitable boy who loves activities that keep his mind busy. He has bags of energy and will need plenty of exercise, and extra activities to keep him happy and stimulated. He is, however, a typical collie with all the typical collie traits and can become overwhelmed in busy areas where there is a lot of traffic so is best suited to an owner who know and love the breed. He enjoys human company and can get anxious when left so will need an understanding owner who can spend time with him.
Alan can have doggy friends out and about but has shown that he doesn’t like to share his things with them in the home so will only be suited as the only pet. He is a super boy and would make a great companion and a fantastic addition for an active family.

More about Cooper
Cooper is looking for an experienced, active owner who have owned hound breeds before and understand their traits. He will need to be kept company all day to begin with and he will benefit going along to training classes to continue working on basic manners. Cooper may be able to live with teenagers but needs to be the only pet.
Cooper is a super friendly, cheeky and lovable goof ball who brings joy to everyone he meets. He can be stubborn when it comes to his training, so he requires an incredibly patient owner who have had experience with hounds before. He is a big, boisterous boy who forgets his size and he can resort to jumping up and grabbing at you if his needs aren’t met so requires plenty of mental and physical stimulation, so he doesn’t become bored or frustrated. He loves using his nose and sniffs out every interesting smell that comes by him so would thoroughly enjoy an activity like scent work or man trailing. Cooper loves his food in all forms, from doggy biscuits to fruit and veg which will be a brilliant motivator when continuing his training.
Cooper has made a load of doggy friends here; he loves playing with them but he doesn’t always realize when his friends have had enough, and he can be persistent so would be better suited as an only pet so his owner can focus on him.
Cooper has received some medical treatment whilst with us. More information will be provided with successful applicants.

More about Timmy
Timmy is looking for an owner who can work on his basic training. He would prefer access to a garden, so he has another space to enjoy outdoors and for someone to keep him company for some of the day whilst he settles into his new home. He may be able to live with high school aged children but would like to be the only pet.
Timmy is a friendly, happy wee character with everyone he meets. Whilst he is quite happy doing his own thing, he can be affectionate and enjoys a wee cuddle every now and then. He is generally quite independent natured and has a mind of his own at times so he will need a patient owner who can work on his training but he does love his food or a squeaky toy which will be good motivators when working on this. He would be ideal for an active owner who can take him on lots of fun adventures where he can put his nose to good use. Timmy doesn’t mind meeting other dogs when out and about, but he wouldn’t like to share his home with one.
Although he does not let it affect him, Timmy does have some medical issues. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

More about Bella

She gets very upset when left alone, so will need to have company all day while she works on this issue, and would make the ideal companion for someone who works from home. Bella may be able to live with older dog savvy teenagers but is looking to be the only pet.
Bella is a real sweetheart who can be a bit wary of new people to start with but does come around, especially if you have a tasty treat on offer. She is very loving and affectionate, and will happily sit beside you for fussing and attention, but she does think she is a lap dog so would prefer to sit on you to receive her fussing! She has made doggy friends here and would enjoy having some dog walking buddies, but would be best suited to being the only pet in her home. She is full of energy and would like having an activity to do to keep her busy brain occupied, and has enjoyed doing some scent work while with us.
Bella loves human company so much that she really does struggle being left alone so will need help to understand that being left isn’t so scary. She requires a committed and understanding owner who will work on this issue and be open to working with a recommended dog trainer to support with her improvement.
Bella is currently taking part in extra training with the Paws for Progress team in their rescue dog training programme at HMYOI Polmont. She is working hard on confidence building skills and slowly learning that people leaving is okay. HMP & YOI Polmont | Paws for Progress

More about Niall
Niall is looking for an experienced owner who have had large dogs before and can work on his confidence. He will need to be kept company all day and would like his own private garden, so he has a space to call his own to stretch out his big legs. He is looking to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Niall is a real sweet boy who, although can be unsure of people he doesn’t know, is easily won over by a tasty biscuit or two. He is generally confident with most scenarios, but new people are a bit scary for him, so he does require an understanding owner who will take things gradually with him and slowly work on his confidence. He can find it difficult being left on his own so his new owner will need to keep him company and help him learn it’s okay to spend time alone.
Once he does know you, he is super affectionate and will happily make himself a lap dog despite his size! He is full of energy and loves to run around chasing after his toys in the paddocks and he may enjoy hill walking. With the right introductions, Niall does make doggy friends who match his energy but he will need to continue working on his social skills around new dogs.
