Pippa is looking for a home with someone who has had a Daxi before and understands their quirks. She may suit living with older children and could potentially share her home with a dog similar size to her as she can be wary of larger dogs. She would like company some of the day until she settles in.
Pippa is a happy girl with a big personality who likes being made a fuss of. She may be small but she has a lot to say for herself to let everyone know she’s there, so her new owner will need to be patient with this and continue working on her social skills to help her make better choices rather than shouting. After she’s had a run about with the wind in her ears she likes nothing better to come home for a snooze to a comfy bed and a tasty treat.

Home Requirements
An experienced owner
A home with garden
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.

“Cooper is such a great dog who really deserves a home to call his own. He’ll make the ideal companion for the hound lovers out there!” Cooper’s kennel mum.
Cooper is looking for an experienced and 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.

Shy at first, but a superstar in the making!
Rex is a gentle, sensitive soul who is looking for a calm and understanding home. He is very anxious when meeting new people and needs time and patience to settle in. However, once he begins to trust, he shows a clear eagerness to please and responds well to a gentle, reassuring approach. Rex enjoys the company of other dogs and would benefit from having a calm canine companion to help him build confidence. He is housetrained but has lived outdoors in a kennel, so he will likely need some refresher training. Car travel is relatively new to him but he has shown no hesitation to jump in and out cars while he has been with us. Rex is still learning to walk on a lead and will need continued support with recall and basic training.
History
Rex was handed in for rehoming after showing predatory behaviour towards chickens and being nervous around young children.
Re-homing Criteria
Rex needs a quiet, rural home where he can feel safe and supported. Due to his nervous nature, he can be flighty and has been known to be an escape artist, so a secure garden is essential. He would benefit from living with a confident dog who can offer reassurance and guidance. Although he has lived with cats before, care must be taken around other small animals as he has shown some predatory instincts. As Rex has been nervous around young children, we would only consider homes with teenagers who are able to respect his space and understand his need for a calm environment. Rex needs a patient and experienced owner who can offer consistent, positive training and help him gain confidence at his own pace.
It may take time for Rex to come out of his shell but with the right guidance, Rex has the potential to become the most loyal and loving companion. If you can offer him the calm, quiet, secure home he deserves, please get in touch.

Kobi is Tiggy’s last remaining puppy – and he’s grown into quite the handsome boy! The biggest of his litter, Kobi is already larger than his mum and is expected to be large-medium to large in size once fully grown. When Kobi first arrived, he was the most timid of his siblings – shy, nervous, and unsure of the world. But with patience, love, and time, he’s blossomed into a happy, playful, and affectionate young lad. He’s still a little clumsy and full of energy, which only adds to his charm!
Kobi’s Highlights:
1. Friendly and sweet-natured 2. Crate trained and clean in the house 3. A cuddle monster once he knows you 4. Good with people – just needs gentle introductions 5. A bit barky with unfamiliar dogs, but not aggressive, just unsure 6. Hasn’t started lead training yet – but he’s smart and eager to learn
Kobi's Perfect Home:
1. An active family who can offer fun, structure, and regular exercise 2. A home with a secure garden for zoomies and outdoor time 3. Older children only due to his size and bouncy nature 4. Someone ready to guide him through basic training and socialisation Kobi isn’t destructive – just a lovable goof who wants to be included, cuddled, and gently shown the ropes. With the right family, he’ll grow into a loyal, loving companion for life.

Meet Fae – A Bright, Bouncy Girl Ready for Her Forever Home!
Location: Ayr
Date of Birth: 10th December 2024
Fae is the last of Freya’s gorgeous girl pups still looking for a home – and she’s an absolute little treasure.

Despite a tough start, Fae has grown into a confident, affectionate, and curious young pup with so much potential. She’s very friendly and has a lovely nature.

Fae’s Highlights: • Confident, sweet, and eager to learn • Friendly with people and other dogs • Can live with sensible, dog-savvy children • Will need continued house training and lead work • Would thrive with a secure garden to play and practice her skills • Her sister (already adopted) is doing brilliantly – and we know Fae will too!

Meet Boobie – A Brave Little Soul Looking for Love
Location: Ayr
Estimated Age: Around 2 years old
Boobie came into our care after being handed in as a stray – but we strongly suspect she was abandoned by her previous owners. She wasn't microchipped, and after a vet visit (when we thought she might be pregnant), we discovered she was going through a phantom pregnancy following a recent season. We believe this may be why she was heartlessly given up. She shows signs of having been a working dog – with the classic bald patches on her ears and nose – but despite whatever past she’s had, Boobie has nothing but love to give. Boobie’s Personality & Progress: 1. Possibly a red Patterdale or Patterdale cross 2. Sweet-natured, affectionate, and a bit giddy 3. Loves a fuss and will happily clamber onto your lap 4. Doesn't love being picked up or heavily handled just yet – but is improving every day with gentle encouragement 5. Best suited to a calm, adult-only home that understands her sensitivities 6. Crate trained and working on housetraining (likely never lived indoors before) 7. Enjoys being outside and has no separation anxiety 8. Walks well on a lead (though sometimes a bit enthusiastic!) 9. Likely prey driven, so may need to remain on-lead long term Boobie is still waiting for her vaccinations and microchip as she found her first vet visit quite stressful – but don’t worry, this will all be completed before she goes to her forever home. What Boobie Needs: 1. A home without children 2. A patient, understanding adopter who can help her continue adjusting to home life 3. A secure garden for safe outdoor time (or lots of on-lead adventures) 4. Someone who’ll offer her consistency, kindness, and all the cuddles she adores Boobie is a special little girl with a lot of love to give. She just needs someone to believe in her and show her that she's safe, wanted, and home at last.

Meet Tiggy – A Little Dog with a Big Heart
Location: Ayr
Date of Birth: 5th October 2023
Tiggy’s story starts in the most heartbreaking of ways – but she hasn’t let that dim her sparkle. One dark night, our rescuer’s husband spotted her frantically running in circles on a remote track – clearly terrified and confused. Her tiny puppies were scattered across the road, darting around in panic. It took him an hour to gather them all to safety… but Tiggy, brave as she was, was too frightened to let anyone near. Thankfully, our rescuer returned and gently coaxed Tiggy to safety. Since then, she’s been living with the rescuer as her puppies grew and then travelled to our rescue in Ayr– and she has turned out to be an absolute delight. Tiggy in a nutshell: • Smaller side of medium • Super friendly and loves everyone she meets • Incredibly cuddly, gentle, and affectionate • Crate trained and clean in the house • Great with both men and women • Good with older children • Just starting her lead training – and doing brilliantly! • No bad habits – just a pure-hearted little soul looking for love Important to know: Tiggy is a bit of an escape artist – not to run away, but because she always wants to be close to her people. For this reason, she’ll need: A very secure home and garden (if there is one)
To be kept on a lead when outside
To never be left unattended outdoors
Or a home without a garden, where walks happen on-lead only She’s incredibly sweet, smart, and eager to please – and would thrive in many different kinds of homes where she’s included as part of the family

A home with garden
Kayla is looking for an experienced German shepherd owner who are committed to working on her training. She will need to be kept company all day to begin with and requires her own private garden, so she has a safe space to decompress. She needs to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Kayla is truly a sweet girl who sadly has not seen much of the world so she can find new situations overwhelming. She can be vocal towards people and dogs she doesn’t know at first but, if introduced properly, soon realises that there is nothing to be worried about. She requires a committed owner who will work on her socialisation skills and gradually build her confidence.
Kayla adores the people she knows and trusts but can become attached quite quickly so she can find it hard being left on her own. She can be very affectionate, loves her toys, is full of fun and would thrive with an active owner who are keen on doing different activities with her.
All Kayla wants to do is please her people; she is extremely clever and loves a tasty treat so is highly trainable. Our team are already seeing big improvements with her training so, in a home, she is sure to flourish into a fantastic dog.

Can live with
Children
Morag is looking for an owner who can continue to work on her basic manners and keep her company for some of the day. She is looking to be the only pet in her new home but may be able to live with high school aged children.
Morag is an extremely friendly girl who will bring a lot of joy to her new family’s life. She loves human attention and will happily roll over for some belly rubs or jump up beside you for cuddles. She is a whirlwind of fun and loves to run around chasing a tennis ball, particularly if it squeaks! She would be a brilliant walking buddy for an owner who is keen to get out and about and explore different places.
Morag’s enthusiasm for life does mean she can get a bit carried away at times and becomes quite boisterous so her new owner will need to work on this, but she is a clever girl who aims to please, especially when there is food on offer. She can become frustrated at times when she sees other dogs but does have the ability to make doggy friends if introduced properly.

From Stray to Soulmate, Polly is ready to steal your heart!
Polly is a beautiful Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross who arrived with us as a stray, so we don’t have any background information about her past. What’s immediately clear, though, is just how affectionate and people-focused she is. She loves meeting new faces and thrives on human interaction. Polly is clean in her kennel, which suggests she may have previously lived in a home and been housetrained. She is not good with other dogs, and we don’t know how she would react around cats or children, though she may be suitable for a home with calm, respectful teenagers.
History
Polly came into the centre as a stray.
Re-homing Criteria
Polly’s rehoming needs are straightforward but important. She will require a secure garden to ensure she can enjoy off-lead time safely, away from other dogs. She must be the only dog in the household. While her suitability for living with children is uncertain, she may do well with older teens who understand how to behave around dogs. Polly is strong on the lead, so her adopter will need to be physically capable of managing her on walks and committed to working on her loose-lead training.
Polly is a lovely, loyal girl who just needs someone to take a chance on her – a perfect match for anyone with a soft spot for staffies!
