Shadow is looking for an experienced owner who can keep him company for some of the day and he would like access outdoors via a window or door. He is looking to be the only pet but could live with older teenagers.
Shadow is a sweet boy who can have a sensitive side when it comes to meeting new people or exploring new environments. He would like a patient, understanding owner who can give the reassurance he needs and provide him with hiding places like an igloo bed so he can take himself away if he feels too overwhelmed. He loves his food which can help win him over and give him a bit of confidence.
Shadow has lot of love to give once he is comfortable with you and he doesn’t mind being picked up for a cuddle. He hasn’t shown much interest in playing but this may change once he has settled into his new home. He is however, quite inquisitive so would really enjoy having plenty of space outdoors to explore when the mood takes him.

Charmander is looking for an experienced cat owner who can keep him company for some of the day and he would like access outdoors via a window or door. He is looking to be the only pet but could live with older teenagers.
Charmander is a happy, playful boy who is full of fun and loves chasing after his toys, especially noisy ones. As he is quite active, he would love to have access outside where he can roam till his heart is content. He is a massive foodie but can be bit too greedy at times so is always fed with a slow or puzzle feeder which he thoroughly enjoys.
Whilst not overly affectionate, he does like human attention and fussing but only on his own terms which his new owner will need to be understanding of. After a day of eating and playing, he can usually be found lounging stretched out watching the world go by.

Nala is looking for a quiet home with an experienced owner who understand terriers and the quirks they can have. She will require access to her own private garden so she has a safe space to enjoy the outdoors away from other dogs. Nala will need to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Nala may be small, but she does have a spicy personality. She certainly knows what she does and doesn’t like but, by managing her interactions carefully, her new owner can avoid any unnecessary frustrations. Nala can be loving and affectionate with those she knows, but can be nervous around unfamiliar people so the best thing is to give her space until she feels ready to say hello.
The key to winning her over is by playing with her toys which she would happily do all day if you gave her the chance. She is uncomfortable around other dogs, but she does have bounds of energy to burn off so will require plenty of exercise in quieter areas to keep her happy and she may even enjoy doing scent work. Nala has a lot of potential to make a fantastic companion for someone willing to put the work and time into her.

Mr Bean is looking for an understanding, experienced owner who have had anxious cats before. He would like easy access outdoors via a window or door and will need to be kept company for most of the day, especially whilst he settles in. Mr Bean is looking for an adult only home where he will be the only pet.
Mr Bean is a lovely but anxious boy who can take time making new friends. He is a boy who knows what he does and doesn’t like and can have a feisty side if his boundaries aren’t respected. For this reason, he wouldn’t be suitable to live with children and requires an understanding owner who can see when he starts to become over stimulated.
Once he learns to trust you, Mr Bean will show you his loving and cuddly side and he particularly likes rolling around on your lap or getting head scratches. He can be quite demanding and vocal when he wants something whether that be food or attention so his new owner will need to be prepared for this! He enjoys puzzle feeders or watching the world go by from the top of his climbing tower and is a keen explorer so would love access outdoors so he has plenty of space to roam.
Mr Bean has had treatment for his skin during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Florence is looking for an owner who have had a cat before and can keep her company for some of the day. She would like easy access outdoors via a door or window so she can explore. Florence needs to be the only pet but may be able to live with older cat savvy children.
Florence is a real sweetheart who definitely thinks she should be treated like the princess that she is. She is very friendly and loves nothing more than being given a good ear or chin scratch and she enjoys being brushed. She is playful and enjoys chasing after her feather toy every so often but her favourite thing to do is lounge in her comfy bed. Florence’s love for food has allowed her to gain a few extra pounds in the past so her new owner will need to be mindful of this and keep her waistline trim.

DJ is looking for an owner who can keep him company for some of the day whilst he settles in. He may be able to live with teenagers and can have doggy friends of similar size but would like to be the only pet in the home.
DJ is a handsome, laid back lad who will make a fantastic addition to his new family. He may be a bigger boy but really, he is a kind soul who is friendly with everyone who comes to say hello to him and he would happily place himself on your lap for lots of cuddles and fussing. He is a dream on the lead and enjoys his walks down to the beach or running around our paddocks for zoomies or tennis ball chasing.
DJ has made doggy friends similar to his size that he is happy to walk alongside but he can be worried by dogs who run up to him unannounced so his new owner will need to be mindful of this. He is very clever and easy to train as he is so motivated by his food! He is very much a lurcher and after a good walk, can be found happily snoozing in his bed or sunbathing on warm days.
DJ has had some veterinary treatment during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Scout is looking for an owner who have preferably dealt with nervous dogs before. He will need company for some of the day whilst he settles in and access to his own private garden. Scout is looking for an adult only home but may be able to live with a female dog depending on introductions.
Scout is a sweet wee boy who can be nervous of new people to begin with and needs time to make friends. He loves a tasty biscuit which helps him warm up and will happily show off a trick or two for his reward for being brave. He also really enjoys his enrichment sessions, particularly a tasty filled kong or a likimat which will also help him gain confidence whilst he settles in. He enjoys his walks, is playful and loves running around our paddocks chasing after a squeaky toy. Scout can be wary of some dogs but is okay with most of the small dogs he has met so whilst it isn’t a necessity for him to live with another dog, if he was to live with one, it would have to be a female.
It has been a long road for Scout, and we are extremely grateful to those who supported us so we could get him to where he is today. He deserves the most loving home he could ever wish for.
Scout has had surgery on his knees during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Ghost is looking for an experienced owner who have a good understanding of dog body language. She would like her own private garden so she has her own safe space that she can enjoy peacefully. She needs to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Ghost is a lovely girl who will require a lot of time and patience in order for her to reach her full potential of making a fantastic companion. Our team have been working very hard with her to work on her confidence as she can become uncomfortable if unknown people try to approach her to say hello when she’s not ready to. She requires a knowledgeable owner who can see when she starts to feel unsure and allow her to take things in her own time which will be a gradual process.
Once she learns to trust you, she is very cuddly and enjoys sitting on your lap for some belly rubs. She is energetic, playful and loves running around with her favourite toys (although can get a bit too over excited at times!) She is full of beans, thoroughly enjoys her walks down to the beach and putting her nose to use so may enjoy an activity like scentwork. She hasn’t had much socialising with other dogs but does make friends with them if introduced properly.
Ghost has had treatment for her skin whilst with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Scruffy is looking for an owner who have owned nervous dogs before and can continue working on his socialisation skills. He would prefer access to a garden so he can work on his housetraining and will need to be kept company all day. Scruffy needs to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Scruffy is a sweet, affectionate boy once he knows you but is very nervous of new people to begin with. He would greatly benefit by going along to training sessions to help him with his social skills around other people and dogs. Having a tasty biscuit on offer does help win him over but he needs his new owner to be very patient and understanding with him until he warms up. He lacks in confidence and particularly finds busy areas overwhelming so he needs to be walked in quieter areas first so he can work on his confidence building.
Scruffy will need some work to help him become a more sociable boy but is sure to make a wonderful companion for a committed owner.

Simba is looking for an owner who have had cats before and can keep him company for some of the day. He would like easy access outdoors via a window or cat flap so he can explore. He is looking to be the only pet but might be able to live with older cat savvy teenagers.
Simba is a lovely boy who, although can be a bit unsure of new people to begin with, does quickly show you his affectionate side. He can be independent at times and is quite happy doing his own thing so his new owner will need to be understanding of this and provide him with plenty of comfy, hiding places so he can take himself away if he wants to. He is playful and enjoys playing with any of his toys or rolling around in some cat nip.
Simba doesn’t enjoy the company of any other animals so will have to be the only pet so he doesn’t become too upset, and it would be nice for his new owner to provide him with some feliway to really help him settle in. He is a curious character and will love to have access outside to explore but this will have to be done very gradually with him. He has a beautiful coat which will have to be brushed regularly to keep it in top condition.

Bella is looking for an experienced & active owner who has a home with a private garden. She gets very stressed when left alone, so will need to have company all day until she learns to spend some time by herself. Bella may be able to live with older dog savvy teenagers but is looking to be the only pet.
Bella is a real sweetheart of a girl who will require someone to be incredibly patient with her. She can be a bit wary of new people to start with but does come around especially if you have a tasty treat on offer. She is very loving, affectionate and will happily sit beside you for fussing and attention (although does think she is a lap dog)! She has made doggy friends and can continue having dog walking buddies but, as she can be a bit pushy with them, is best suited as an only pet. She is full of energy and will thrive from having an activity to do such as running or scent work to keep her busy brain occupied.
Bella loves human company so much that she does really struggle being left alone for any length of time and will need help to understand that being left isn’t so scary. She requires an extremely committed, understanding owner who will work on this issue with her and are open to seeking out help from an external dog trainer for support with this.

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.

Doug is looking for an experienced dog owner who have owned quirky terriers before. He would like access to his own private garden where he can enjoy off lead time away from other dogs and he needs to be the only pet in an adult only home. Doug hasn’t had an easy time, and he truly deserves to live out the rest of his retirement in a loving home with someone who will accept him for who he is.
Doug is a sweet, friendly boy who, although can be independent, is affectionate and likes being made a fuss of. Being an older lad, he can be easily startled at times so requires an owner who are understanding of this and can make his home predictable. Doug doesn’t enjoy the company of dogs so would like to be walked in quieter areas or at quieter times where he can get to enjoy his walks in peace.
He is still full of life despite his age and he enjoys chasing after his favourite squeaky ball or playing a game of tug.  He won’t require long walks, but he does still like to be kept occupied and loves his enrichment sessions that involve a tasty filled kong.

Callie is looking for a more experienced owner who have had larger bull breed dogs in the past, so can fully understand the bully personality. Her new family will need to be prepared to visit her a few times before she goes home. She would prefer access to a garden where she can lounge until her heart is content. Callie needs to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Beautiful Callie is a happy, outgoing girl who is always keen to say hello and loves attention from anyone who will give her it. Whilst mostly confident, she can become overwhelmed in some situations so needs an understanding owner who will manage her interactions carefully. She will happily accept any biscuit you have to offer which will help massively with her training to help her become more of a polite girl.
She is a big bundle of fun who is very playful and loves her toys, although she can forget her size and become a bit of a bull in a China shop at times! She will require an experienced owner who understand bully breeds and how boisterous they can be though she is very eager to please. She enjoys her walks and is inquisitive, taking 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.
During her stay, Callie has been assessed by an independent breed assessor who deemed that she is not a banned breed. She is just a fantastic girl who deserves a very special home.

Lewie is looking for an experienced and active owner who have had collies before. He would prefer easy access to a garden where he can burn off some of his energy. He is worried by traffic so is best suited to a home in a calmer area so he doesn’t become overwhelmed by his environment. He needs to be the only pet but may be able to live with teenagers.
Lewie is a friendly, independent lad who’s favourite past time is chasing after his tennis ball along the beach or in woodland walks. He doesn’t mind walking with other dogs, but is quite happy doing his own thing rather than playing with them. He is full of energy so would love an active family who would be open to giving him an activity to do such as flyball and allow him to use his brain in enrichment activities (especially if they involve peanut butter!). After a fun filled day, he loves nothing more than to cosy up in a big comfy bed.
For the right owner, there is no doubt Lewie will make a fantastic companion.
Lewie has had some treatment for his skin whilst in our care. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Hamish is a truly wonderful boy with bags of potential, he is eager to please and will be a very rewarding pet for the right owner. With those he knows, Hamish is the sookiest boy who loves a cuddle and thinks he is a lap dog at times!

Hamish loves running along the beach and getting the sand in between his toes or running around the paddock chasing a tennis ball. He can make doggy friends if introduced properly but he isn’t keen on dogs coming into his space, so any friends he does make will need to respect his boundaries.
