Re-homing Criteria Hocus is looking for a patient owner who can help him through all his basic training. He is an active wee guy so will need a home to match this. He will need a secure garden to practice his recall and off lead traing in safety. Hocus could live with another dog(s) and with careful introduction, a confident cat(s).

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Cooper

Cooper is described as a Beagle/Hound. Can live with Dogs Teenagers Cooper is looking for an experienced and active owner who have owned hound breeds before and understand their quirks. He will benefit going along to training classes to continue work on basic manners. Cooper may be able to live with teenagers and possibly another dog. Cooper is a super friendly, cheeky and lovable goof ball who brings joy to everyone he meets. He does have a stubborn streak so requires an incredibly patient owner, but he does love his food in all forms, from doggy biscuits to fruit and veg which will be a brilliant motivator when continuing his training. 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 likes 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 has made a load of doggy friends here; he loves playing with them but can sometimes forget his manners so any dog he does live with will need to match his energy. Cooper will require someone who has the time and is committed to continue his training but there certainly is never a dull moment with him and he is sure to bring a lot of fun and laughter in his new home. Cooper has received some medical treatment whilst with us. More information will be provided with successful applicants.

Bear is a lovely older gentleman who is one of the staff favourites at the Home. He is friendly with everyone he meets and gives you the loveliest welcome with a waggy tail and wiggly bum. He is affectionate and, like a big cuddly bear, just loves to snuggle up beside you on the couch and get lots of fussing. Age is just a number in Bear’s mind and he does not let it slow him down! He can still be quite bouncy at times but he is playful and loves running around our paddocks with his toys. He loves learning new things and playing enrichment games, particularly when food is involved and is even partial to a healthy snack like carrots! Due to a past experience, Bear can feel anxious on his walks and could become overwhelmed, so his new owners need to be patient and understanding people who have the time to work on his confidence. He is a truly fantastic boy, and there is no doubt that he will make a wonderful companion for the right owner. During his stay, Bear has been assessed by an independent breed assessor, who deemed that he is not a currently banned breed.

Unfortunately, we don’t know much about Skye’s past, she arrived at the centre as a stray.

New dog listed for rescue at the Saving and Rehoming Strays - Poppie

Poppie is described as a dark grey and white Mixed. Name: Poppie D.O.B: 15/02/2021 Gender: Female Location: Sutton, Surrey Beautiful Poppie is looking for a new home. Could you be her perfect family? Poppie is nearly 4 years old, 35Kg and 55cm high to her shoulders. She is neutered and vaccinated. Poppie is the most lovely natured, friendly dog and has been settling well into living in a house in suburbia, having been rescued from a forest in Romania. Poppie is such a friendly dog and wants to meet everyone. When visitors come to the house she is excited to greet them. Poppie is very food motivated and has been very easy to train. She loves her training sessions (these have been regular 1:1 sessions) and practicing what she has learnt, plus any brain engaging fun games (done daily). Having treats really focuses and motivates her. Poppie is a very intelligent dog with an active mind. She needs to be kept busy. This is why we are ideally looking for the company of another dog in her new home, as she craves canine company. Poppie is looking for a more active lifestyle (involving dogs) than her current family can give her, with a good-sized garden to do her zoomies in and fields to run and explore. A family would further enrich her life, as she loves people! She is a very good dog in the house and soon respected any boundaries, for example not going upstairs. She has only lived downstairs, is crate-trained and happily sleeps in it at night. She is working daily on the “settle” command and making steady progress. Poppie does love lounging on the sofa! She loves a neck massage when she gets up in the morning, and she is becoming less independent and more affectionate. She sits for treats and loves mealtimes...she even jumps around a bit like a kangaroo! Child friendly: Poppie has not lived with any children but she is always keen to meet them on her walks and is very gentle with them, especially when they want to come and stroke her and say hello. Due to her size Poppie would only be rehomed with older children (over 12). Cat friendly: Poppie has not lived with cats. Poppie has not chased any cats on her walks, she usually just stares at them, and then moves on. She has not chased any squirrels in the garden or when out. If a fox comes into the garden she will chase it away. Lead trained: Poppie walks very nicely on the lead now and is working on her loose lead skills. She needs a bit of guidance/managing when stopping to cross the road still. Recall : Poppie has been working on her recall in training sessions and practises daily. She has the long lead on in the enclosed area still, but it is loose on the ground. Her basic recall is very good, but her recall off the lead in an open space is still a work in progress. She knows her name and responds well when called in the house, garden, on lead walks (when her attention is needed). Poppie will make an amazing family dog for the right home that have the space and time to continue her training and take her on fabulous adventures. We are looking for a family with a spacious home and large secure garden for her to play – ideally with another dog to keep her company. Please note Poppies is currently in Sutton, Surrey but we can support with transport to anywhere for the right home. If you think you are the right family for Poppie please pop on to our website and complete a pre-adoption application form (https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org/dog-application-form) Please note a virtual homecheck and adoption donation of £500 will apply. Thank you so much for your interest in Poppie!
