Breed: Mixed Size: Small
Location: Ayrshire, Scotland
Health: Fully vaccinated, flea/worm treated, pet passport, BC tested (UK) Spay Status: Spayed
Bambi is the kind of dog that quietly steals your heart. Originally adopted in 2016 after arriving from overseas, Bambi lived a peaceful life until changes in her adoptive home meant she could no longer be cared for. Sadly, she returned to us in poor condition, but after a full vet check, blood tests, and a much-needed dental (including some extractions), Bambi is now feeling so much better – and she’s ready to start her next chapter. At 10 years old, Bambi is calm, gentle, and a total cuddle sponge. She doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety, but she absolutely thrives on companionship and would love a home where someone is around most of the time. She’s not needy – she just adores love and will happily curl up beside you for as long as you let her. This little gem is: Fully housetrained Walks beautifully on the lead Crate trained Travels well in the car Excellent with other dogs while out and about We’re looking for a child-free, dog-free home so Bambi can truly be the centre of someone’s world. She deserves nothing less after everything she’s been through. She may be small, but Bambi has so much love to give. All she needs now is a quiet, caring home and someone to finally make her feel safe and cherished, every single day.

Meet Daisy & Poppy – Sweet Sisters Searching for Their Forever Homes
Date of Birth: 10 March 2025
Breed: Mixed Size: Medium (when fully grown)
Location: Ayrshire, Scotland Health:
Fully vaccinated, flea/worm treated, pet passport, BC tested (UK)
Spay Status: Not yet spayed – must be completed under adoption contract when old enough
Daisy and Poppy are two beautiful sisters who’ve overcome a rough start to life and are now ready to blossom in loving homes. Found as tiny puppies on the street, covered in ticks and desperately unwell, they were rushed to a vet for urgent care. Thanks to dedicated treatment and lots of love, they’ve made a full recovery and are now fit, healthy, and full of joy. Now safe in our rescue in Ayrshire, these girls have shown us just how affectionate and friendly they truly are. They adore cuddles and attention, and get along wonderfully with both people and other dogs. They have gentle natures and would be a great fit for many types of homes – including those with children or other friendly dogs. Although they haven’t been tested with cats, their young age means that with proper introductions and a dog-savvy cat, it’s likely they could live alongside feline friends too.
A Few Things to Know: Daisy and Poppy have never lived in a home before, so their adopters will need to be patient and committed to helping them learn. They’re crate trained and clean, so housetraining is expected to come quickly. Basic training, including lead work and house manners, will be needed – but they’re smart and eager to please!
What They Need: A loving, safe home (separately) Continued guidance, training, and socialisation A secure garden would be ideal Lots of cuddles, care, and reassurance
Ready to Adopt? If you can offer Daisy or Poppy the loving forever home they deserve, please visit www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an adoption application form.

She’s crate trained overnight, loves snuggling up with people, and is doing brilliantly with other dogs in the “Wonky Zone” at the rescue. She’s great with sensible children and will make a wonderful family companion.

More about Buddha
Buddha is looking for an experienced owner who have had bully breeds before, so can fully understand the bully breed personality. She would like access to a garden so she has a space to work on her basic training. She may be able to live with dog savvy high school aged children but would like to be the only pet.
Buddha is a confident, happy girl who is very loving with her people. She is a bundle of fun who is very playful and loves her squeaky toys or playing a good game of tug of war. She does have a cheeky side to her so will require an experienced owner who understand bully breeds though she is very eager to please. She enjoys her walks to the beach where she can have zoomies or take in all the interesting sights and smells that pass her. After a day full of fun and frolics, she loves nothing more than relaxing in a comfy spot for a snooze.
While mostly confident, Buddha can be worried by the vet, so she requires a very understanding owner who can manage her visits to the vet and continue building on positive experiences, she is a sucker for squeezy cheese which does help!
Buddha has had some veterinary treatment during her stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

More about Champ
Champ is looking for an experienced owner who have had large dogs before. Although not essential, he would prefer access to a secure garden so he can enjoy another space outdoors. He is looking to be the only pet but may be able to live with older teenagers who won’t be worried by his size.
Champ is a very handsome, friendly boy who enjoys saying hello to everyone he meets. He is affectionate and enjoys being made a fuss of but does forget his size at times so can be very strong and boisterous so is best suited to an owner who know and love large dog breeds in order to get the very best out of him. He enjoys any kind of treat you have to offer so this will aid with his training.
Champ enjoys his walks or running around the paddock but his favourite thing is going down to the beach. He is absolutely a water baby and happily hops into the water, although his new owner will need be prepared that he may want to take them with him for a swim! He is sure to make a fantastic addition to his new family.

Home Requirements
An active owner
More about Cookie
Cookie is looking for an active owner who have had dogs before. She will need to be kept company all day until she settles into a well-established routine. She requires an adult only home where she will be the only pet.
Cookie is a sweet girl who can be a bit shy and vocal towards people she doesn’t know but does warm up quickly if allowed to say hello at her own pace. She does become attached to her favourite people quickly and struggles if they leave her so she will need an owner who are patient and committed to working on this with her.
Cookie enjoys her walks with other dogs and she can have doggy friends out and about, but she has shown that she does not always want to share her people or food around them so will only be suited as an only pet. She is full of energy and loves chasing after a tennis ball so would probably love to have an activity to do to keep her busy mind occupied. Cookie’s coat will require regular grooming; however, this is something she isn’t comfortable with. Her new owners will need to build up a positive association with being groomed.

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 Rosie
Rosie has been incredibly popular so we are no longer accepting new interest for her.
Rosie is looking for an owner that can keep her company throughout the day and is willing to continue her basic training. She could maybe live with older dog savvy children and another dog pending a successful introduction.
Rosie is very lovely, excitable girl who loves being made a fuss of and making friends with everyone she meets. She is a happy girl who loves any kind of attention, whether that is going for a walk along the beach, playing with enrichment toys or just having a cuddle on the couch. As she is still young, she does require a committed owner who are prepared to work on her basic training, but she is keen to please so is sure to be a pleasure to train.
She has made friends with every dog that she has met during her stay here and may like to live with another dog who she can learn some doggy etiquette from.

More about Luna
Luna is looking for an experienced owner who will be committed to her ongoing training. She can find the outside world overwhelming at times, so would love her own private garden that she can enjoy her own space. Luna could live with older teenagers but needs to be the only pet.
Luna is a sweet girl who, sadly, hasn’t experienced much of anything so does find being outside quite scary. Walks are quite overwhelming for her at the moment so she does need her own garden so that she has time to decompress in her new home. She will require a patient owner who are committed to working on building her confidence at a pace she is comfortable with and would be open to seeking help from an external trainer.
Luna is a real sweetheart when she knows you. She is very loving, affectionate and will make a lovely companion within the home.

OLIVER
Male
6 years
Oliver has sadly been returned to our care, after almost 4 years in a home, through absolutely no fault of his own (change of circumstances).
He is 6 years old, quite small for a boy and is a friendly, happy boy. Ideally we want his stay in kennels to be as short as possible as he has been used to his home comforts.
Oliver is fine with other greyhounds and is trainable to be around other breeds.
He really deserves another chance.

Breed: Arlo
Sex: Male
Age: 6 months
Key information: Friendly boy, can live with children 14 years or over, could possibly live with another similar dog, not good with cats.
Arlo is a friendly and happy boy who is a lot of fun. Sadly he hasn’t had much training and has learnt to jump up and be very selective in when he wants to listen to you. However he is a very clever dog and when focused he does his best to please you.
Arlo loves to play, tug, its his favorite, he enjoys running around the garden with his toys and will happily parade them for you once he has caught them. Arlo is a water baby, whether its a paddling pool, river or lake he will go for a quick dip, fetch his toys or cool off.
Arlo is looking for an active home with people who enjoy training a dog and could invest time and patience in to teaching Arlo basic manners but also some valuable life skills. Arlo has only lived in a house for a short time and during this time he loved his home comforts and is happy to lap up attention and cuddles. New owners would need to be at home most of the day to help him settle in to a good routine.
When out on walks Arlo will happily meet friendly dogs, he can get over excited and wants to play, and if this isn’t possible he can easily become frustrated and become vocal. He is currently learning how to cope with this frustration, and making good progress.
Arlo is a smart boy and has a lovely nature, he does need a lot of 1-2-1 training but once you have put in the hard work he will repay you with loyalty, trust and lots of love.
if you think you could offer Arlo a home, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Breed: Lady
Sex: Female
Age: 3 years
Key information: Calm girl who is very friendly and sweet. She does not need a lot of exercise, a garden is a must, can live with children over the age of 12 years old and could possibly live with another dog.
Lady is a sweet, affectionate girl who adores attention, a cosy bed, and simply being by your side. She arrived at Borders Pet Rescue as a stray, so we don’t know much about her past – but what we do know is that she is an absolute star in the office! Lady is happiest when curled up nearby, contentedly snoozing (with the occasional snore!) while you go about your day.
Lady does have some health issues caused by irresponsible breeding. Her very short nose makes breathing difficult, especially in the heat or during exercise. Because of this, she prefers short potters close to home or gentle wanders around the garden. She’s not a dog who enjoys long walks, and she’ll be happiest in a calm environment with minimal physical demands.
Lady also suffers from a condition called entropion, where her eyelashes grow inwards toward her eyes. Thankfully, this can be corrected with surgery, and Borders Pet Rescue will cover the full cost of this operation.
Lady is looking for a quiet, loving home with:
Minimal stairs
A secure garden where she can safely explore
Kind, understanding owners who will cherish her for who she is
She may not be the most energetic dog, but she more than makes up for it in love and loyalty. Lady is gentle, soulful, and incredibly easy to care for. She walks beautifully on the lead, enjoys human company, and always tries her best to please.
She’s searching for someone special who can see beyond her physical challenges and appreciate the truly beautiful soul within. If you’re looking for a devoted, low-maintenance companion who will fill your home with warmth and quiet affection, Lady might just be the perfect match for you.
if you think you could offer Lady a home, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
