Say Hello to Big Bruce! This bouncy boy loves an adventure. He would require an active home used to large dogs and committed to his training and socialisation. Bruce has doggy friends and loves to run around off lead with them, he can bark at other dogs at first, but he is fine after he gets to know them, so keeping up his socialisation will be key. Bruce would like a secure garden of his own, but this is not essential and someone to be at home most of the day until he has settled in. Once settled in his new home, time alone should be built up slowly, at a pace that Bruce is comfortable with. Bruce would like to be the only animal in the home but could live with secondary school children who are experienced with bigger dogs.placeholder image

Sasha is a lovely 11yr old Beagle who is looking for a peaceful retirement home to relax in. She will be fine with calm teenage kids as she does like her peace, and although she is social with dogs out and about, she'll need to be the only pet in her home to properly settle. A secure garden will be needed as she loves having a little potter off lead. She won't be able to be left alone initially and we'll happily advise the best way to slowly build her up to any time on her own.

Lucy (10yrs) and Clifford (8yrs) are a pair of adorable Spaniels who are looking for a new home together through no fault of their own. they are used to a quiet life so a busy household with young children won't work for them but calm, sensible older kids should be fine. They'll need to be the only pets in their home as they don't like sharing anything with other dogs. A secure garden will help with refreshing their housetraining and give them somewhere to play off-lead.

Lynx is a 10-year-old Dachshund. Lynx is a gentle lad looking for a quiet home where he can rest his paws and enjoy his golden years!

Lynx is looking for a home with children aged 14 and above and needs to be the only pet in the home. Lynx is uncomfortable around other dogs and enjoys going for potters in peaceful areas where he can explore. He is happy to travel in the car to venture to quieter walking routes away from other dogs.

Shadow is a five-year-old Collie-Lab Crossbreed. Shadow is a very loving boy who bonds closely to people he spends the most time with. Shadow loves his walks, and could zig-zag from scent to scent forever if you let him! He thrives on going on new adventures and travels well in the car. Shadow has lots of energy, and has more than kept up on 8km runs, but also settles well at home and enjoys a cuddle on the sofa. He is very intelligent and learns quickly, especially if there are some treats involved. He knows all his basic cues and can show off some extra tricks too! Shadow has had an unsettled past and needs owners who will devote their time to him and make him feel safe.
