Rex came back to SSR due to a change in circumstances.
Rex is currently in a foster home, whilst waiting for his forever home. Rex is great in the home, he is very relaxed and chilled. Rex can be left on his own for a few hours and is non-destructive.
Rex is such a happy and friendly boy, he loves humans and loves affectionate. He loves nothing more than cuddling up with his foster mum and dad, he loves when they finish work and its time to snuggle on the couch. Rex is really engaged in the house, he sleeps all night in his bed and loves his lick mats. Rex is the perfect companion between enjoying his walks but also loves snuggling up with you.
Rex is in good health, with no concerns. Rex is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped
Rex pulls on the lead, which is being worked on. When he first moved to his foster home he found outside overwhelming and no engagement, this is gradually getting better with each walk. Rex's new home would need to keep working with him outside, with our support. Rex does have prey-drive so is being muzzled trained for outside.
Rex can be overwhelmed in the car and excitable.
A secure garden would be a plus.
Pet free home.

We were made aware of King being in a council pound. He looked so sad and had the sorest eyes we had ever seen, so we made the decision to help him and bring him to SSR.
King is currently in kennels. King is attending weekly classes after doing two weeks residential after Christmas. King's weekly classes are working around other dogs and progressing his training, any new home for King would need to commit to further training with our support.
King is the most goofiest and friendliest boy, he loves his humans! He loves belly rubs and a good scratch. King is a massive foodie, he is always looking for a biscuit, which helps with his training! King knows all his basic commands and is very engaged with you. King doesn't show much interest in toys in kennels, but during kennel breaks he loves playing especially a squeaky pig! In the kennels he enjoys chews, kongs and snuffle mats. King also has a crate in his kennels with his bed and blankets, which he loves and happily takes himself in there.
Whilst on kennel breaks King has always been clean in the house, he looves snoozing on the couch with you to and getting belly rubs. King has been in kennels for a long time so would somebody being around and building up his time left, as we are not sure what he will be like being left.
King is in good heath, when he came to SSR he had really sore eyes - he had double entropion which needed surgery. King had this surgery back in 2023 and has recovered really well, King will need no further surgeries.
King walks well on his lead, although is a strong boy. King isn't a dog who is ever going to walk miles, he is lazy! He enjoys his walks and loves going to secure fields, he always zooms about and enjoys a good sniff! King is dog reactive and although we are working on this, King would suit quieter areas to walk with an experinced handler. King also does not walk in the rain, as soon as the rain comes he his heading back to his kennel! typical staffie!
King is great in the car, he sometimes needs a little encouragement to get in but he is not bother in the car. King is quiet in the car and mostly takes it as an opportunity for a snooze, he usually wears a seatbelt in the back.
Bullbreed and dog reactivity experienced home

Committed to ongoing training and socialisation, behaviourist support will be provided.

Dobby initially assessed well, but needs further assessment.

Dobby came to SSR from the pound, he was very malnourished and overstimulated, he has been working his paws off to get ready for a forever home.
Dobby is currently in kennels.
Dobby is a very friendly and happy boy, he always has a huge smile on his face and loves getting muddy! Dobby is an active dog and will need an active home, he will need plenty off physical and mental stimulation. Dobby will need a secure garden were he can run about, let of some steam and play with his ball.
Dobby hasn't been in a home for a long time and will need patience and training, we are unsure how Dobby will feel being left on his own so will need somebody at home to build that up, Dobby has been crate trained. When overstimulated Dobby can mouth and jump, we have been working on redirection and impulse control for this, although this has massively improved he will need a firm home who will set boundaries.
Dobby had a kennel break and was great in the house, he did try to grab cushions ect so this behaviour was redirected and he slept in his crate all night, he gravitated towards the men in the house and was very affectionate, he loved snuggling up on the couch. Dobby is such a sweet boy who needs a home committed to training and having patience with him whilst he decompresses from kennels.
Dobby is in good health and hasn't had any medical issues with us, Dobby will need to be neutered in his forever home which SSR will pay for.
Dobby enjoys his walks, he loves having a good sniff and nothing to seems to phase him when out. Dobby can pull so will need some work on his lead skills, Dobby enjoys going to secure fields and running about with his ball.
Dobby travels well in the car.
Secure garden is required.
Active home.
Time and patience.
Somebody at home.
Committed to training Dobby.

Jaz came to SSR from the pound, Jaz was in a terrible state - severely malnourished, bowed legs, cherry eye ect. Jaz has spent most of her life in kennels.
Jaz is currently in a foster home with one of our committee members, any potential home would need to meet Jaz numerous times in her foster home (about 40 minutes from Edinburgh).
We are looking for a forever foster home for Jaz, this means we will pay for any medical needs and behaviourist support for Jaz.
Jaz will require a very special home who will be patient and take there time with her. Jaz is wary of strangers and any potential home would need to meet Jaz numerous times to build up a bond with her. Jaz has missed the crucial puppy stage learning and really does try to get things right and please us yet her urges often get the better of her. When over aroused, Jaz will nip and mouth quite hard Jaz's foster home are working on redirection and impulse control, but this will need to continue in any home, Jaz will regress when she moves.
Jaz will need a quiet home with not many visitors, stair gates ect would need to be used, due to Jaz's wariness of strangers. Jaz is currently living with 2 dogs, but is kept separate in the house with stair gates. Jaz goes on walks with them and she doesn't seem phased by them but Jaz can become jealous and really bonds with people, so would be best suited to a pet free home. A pet free home would best suit Jaz so all the attention is on her and she can learn to settle without other distractions.
Jaz is very playful and is 100 miles an hour, she loves playing with toys (she goes through many toys!). Jaz will need a home who will provide mental and physical stimulation for her, but also showing her when to be calm and when to rest, this is being worked on in the home and she is starting to take herself away for a rest. Jaz is mischievous and likes to steal shoes/slippers/bedding ect and will destroy them, so will need a home who isn't precious but also work with her on redirecting that. Jaz has been left for a few hours and has been good, she has settled down in the kitchen and will have a sleep, play with her toys and eat her chew, when left for a period of time she does become hyper on your return. Jaz will suit somebody that is home a lot.
Jaz is essentially an overgrown puppy, but with a heart of gold, she is so funny and always makes us laugh. Once she trusts you she is so loving and happy. Jaz loves the garden and will spend all day out there if she can, she loves being outside sunbathing and playing with her toys.
We know there is a special home out there for Jaz who will commit to her and were she will truly blossom.
Jaz is in good health, she does have bowed legs due to malnourishment as a puppy, but this doesn't cause Jaz any issues.
Jaz loves her walks, she loves being out and is currently in a quiet area were she can be on a long lead on the fields. If Jaz becomes over stimulated on a walk she can mouth/jump up/rag lead. This is being worked on, we are seeing a huge difference in her, Jaz has also been accepting her harness on without much fuss.
Jaz is fine travelling.
Secure garden.
Experienced dog owner.
Time and patience, who will work with Jaz and set firm boundaries.
Quiet area with visitors being rare.
Pet free home.

History... unfortunately Lucy's owner is no longer able to look after her.
Hi, my name is Lucy and I am about 7 years old, I love going for walks and I am very people friendly, but I can be a bit temperamental as far as other animals are concerned, so I don't want to share my home with other 4 legged friends.
I am well behaved girl who loves treats even more, I love my food and always clear my bowl.
I can be left in the house on my own and I don't destroy anything. I love snuggling up more than anything, I am big sook and also love play time.
Lucy is your typical happy go lucky & friendly staffie, she will make such a great companion 🤍

History... Buster has came to SSR from the pound and is currently in a foster home.
More about me...
Buster is 5 years old and a lovely, friendly and happy boy. Please see an update below from his foster mum: He's a big lad, who loves his treats and will do anything for a bit of cheese. He is a huge fan of primula on his lick mat and can often be found pacing around because his Kong is under the sofa, again! His favourite thing is being close to his humans, and will often lie or sit at your feet.
Buster has come on lots since being in our foster home. He will wait for his meals and is getting better at waiting for his treats. He still won't sleep in his crate or on his bed, and seems to prefer the floor, although at night he sneaks onto the sofa.
We have tried several different types of collar with Buster as he still quite pulley on the lead, but he is getting better. He is really enjoying his time at the Run free Fields , and is good at playing fetch.
Buster has not been assessed with cats or dogs yet, but we are hoping to get this done soon.
Buster has been left for a few hours and is not destructive at all in the house. He is toilet trained and has had no accidents in the house since his first week.
He is a very friendly dog and is very people orientated, and will offer stop so that all the humans can give him a pet when he is out on a walk.
