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

Enzo is described as a Spaniel cross Poodle. Chunky, cheeky and looking for a fresh start! Enzo can be a little shy at first, but once he knows you, he’s a lovely, friendly boy. He’s lived with adults and is happy to greet visitors, but because of his guarding, we won’t be rehoming him with children. He tends to ignore other dogs, and we’re not sure how he feels about cats yet. Enzo is housetrained but not used to being left home alone. He can pull a bit on the lead and his recall isn’t reliable yet, so he’ll need some practice. Grooming isn’t his favourite thing, so he’ll need patient owners who can help him get more comfortable with it over time. He does travel well in the car. History Enzo came to us for rehoming because he was a bit too lively for his previous owner and has a tendency to guard things he sees as valuable. Re-homing Criteria Enzo needs a child-free home with people who understand guarding behaviour or are willing to learn and work with it. A secure garden is a must as his recall isn’t the best, and he’d love an active home where he can burn off some energy. He’s a little on the chunky side right now, so his new family will need to help him continue his weight loss journey.

New dog listed for rescue at the Underdog International - Sika

Sika is described as a yellow Labrador X Pointer. Sika is a Labrador/Pointer mix currently in a foster home in Dumfries, Scotland. She was born in the shelter in Cyprus and travelled to the UK in March in the hope of finding her forever home. She’s a clever, cuddly, and affectionate young dog who’s looking for a committed, cat-free home where she can continue building her confidence and trust in the world around her. Sika is a very affectionate dog who thrives on human company. She adores curling up close, snoozing at your feet or on your lap, and is never short of cuddles to give. She’s a very loving girl with a very warm, loyal character. She’s also playful and silly, and loves racing around the garden with a toy in her mouth, or offering a high five in return for blueberries, her fave snack! She’s housetrained, crate trained, and sleeps soundly through the night. She’s settled beautifully into home life and is content to rest quietly when someone she trusts is nearby. Sika is good on the lead and enjoys her walks, though she hasn’t yet mastered off-lead recall and remains on a long line outdoors. She loves water and trips to the beach, and enjoys splashing about in the sea with full-blown zoomies! We would say she has medium energy levels, enjoys a good adventure, but is also more than happy to spend the day snoozing beside you. Sika is really good with other dogs and lives alongside several others of different ages and sizes in her foster home. She reads body language well, knows when to play and when to back off, and happily shares space and toys with her doggy companions. She would do well with a friendly resident dog in her new home who can help her build confidence and offer some gentle companionship and we would prefer to consider homes with other dogs first, than those without. Sika’s main challenge is her separation anxiety. She’s developed a strong attachment to her foster carer, which has made it difficult for her to cope when left alone or even separated within the house. If her carer leaves, Sika becomes distressed very quickly. This is an area that really needs some work and commitment from the start with her new family. For this reason, she’ll need an adopter who is around often, ideally working from home, and committed to helping her build independence at her own pace. We’re also able to offer initial behavioural support with this. Sika also cannot live with cats. She has shown strong prey drive and has tried to chase and bark at the resident cat even through the crate. Her new home must be completely cat-free. When meeting new people, Sika is initially cautious and may bark or grumble out of fear. However, given time and space, she warms up and shows her sweet and playful nature. She is generally more comfortable around women than men, and we feel she would do best in a quieter household with one or more female adults. She hasn’t spent time around children, so we are looking for an adult-only home where her environment can be kept calm and predictable. Sika is an incredibly endearing dog with a lot of potential. She’s smart, loving, eager to learn, and already knows several commands. With the right support and stability, she will blossom into a confident, loyal companion. We’re looking for a dedicated adopter who can offer her the patience, structure, and consistency she needs. In return, we know that Sika will give you all the love, cuddles, and post-beach zoomies you could ask for.

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

Blue is described as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross. Can live with... Teenagers More about Blue Blue is looking for an active owner that has had dogs in the past and will be willing to continue his training.

He is looking to be the only pet but may be able to live with older teenage children. Blue is a sweet, happy boy who loves to be made a fuss off. He enjoys going long walks so will need someone who is able to give him all the exercise that he requires.

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

Bumble is described as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross. Can live with... Teenagers 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.
