FLUFFY  A really cute giant size Pom. He is approx 7mnths old so is still lively and puppyish.  He would suit a home with older children as he fairly bouncy. We are looking for a home where he will sleep indoors as part of the family and will be taken for lots of walks to burn off some of his energy. He is a real cuddly teddy bear!

 

PARIS  A beautiful female Rottweiler approx 1-2yrs old.  She is a real pet and just wants to be cuddled.  As she likes a lot of attention a home where she would be the only dog would suit her better.  She loves human company so we are looking for a home where there would be people around for the majority of the day.  As this breed needs to be kept under control at all times a home with a secure garden is a necessity.

 

SCRUFFY  A very sweet male 8mnth old Parson's Jack Russell x.  He is a good natured friendly dog.  He does have a tendency to wander so a secure garden would be needed.

 

Gizmo is a 1 year old black wiry terrier. His owners asked a friend to look after him while they went away and then never came back to collect him. This was very sad for him so we a looking for a loving home where people will care for him.  He's very sweet and affectionate and will be neutered shortly.

 

Silver is a young female lurcher who is very sweet natured. She gets on well with other dogs and enjoys company. She will need a home where there are people around during the day as she can be rather vocal if left on her own for long periods of time.

 

 

Bowie is a young black Lab x approx 1 year old. He is a good natured dog who has plenty of energy and loves going for walks.  He enjoys company so would suit people that are around during the day. Bowie gets bored if he's left on his own for long periods and will bark so he isnt a suitable dog for people who work full time.

 

Jacko is an adorable male Jack Russell Terrier approx 1 year old who was sadly left behind by his owners when they moved abroad. He is a jolly, friendly little dog who would make a perfect family pet.  

 

Hounds. We now have 6 of these hounds that have been left behind to fend for themselves after people have been hunting in the area. We get many phone calls with reports of dogs straying around half starved which we then  collect and bring to our rescue so they have food and shelter. They are  gentle good natured dogs who are very social with people and playful with other dogs. They love to curl up together sometimes 3 to a bed and make excellent family pets. If you can offer any of these loving dogs a caring home please contact us.

 

Lara is a neutered female hound approx 3 years old. She is a gentle good natured dog who enjoys the company of other dogs. She will need a secure garden.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

Sandy is a female mixed breed dog approx 3 years old.  She is a very affectionate friendly dog who loves a lot of attention so may be better in a home where she is the only dog.  She will be spayed before rehoming.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

Hansel is a male cream Lab x approx 2 years old. He was found in a very bad state but is putting on a bit of weight now.  He is a  good natured dog who is very social but also enjoys having long snoozes.
 
 
 

 

 

Nancy is a female Jack Russell Terrier who is full of beans and cheekiness. She is approx 2 years old and will need a  secure home as she tends to wander.
 
 

 

 

Lola is a young female long legged Jack Russell Terrier. She was a stray who was found very stressed. On examination we found she had just had her tail cut off, the end was completely raw and she was very sensitive about it. It has healed now and she would suit a home with older children who wouldn't grab her by the tail by mistake. She is a very loving affectionate dog who would make a great family pet.
 

 

 

Alisha is a stunning female Dalmation x approx 2 years old.  We are looking for a home perhaps in the country where she will have plenty of space to run around or with a family that enjoys walking and outdoor pursuits.  She will be spayed before rehoming
 
 
 

 

 

 

Asia is  a  young spayed female greyhound that was found in a very bad condition. She is very sweet and playful and enjoys the company of other dogs. She is gaining weight and is looking for a home where she will be well cared for.   

 

Fletcher is a young traumatised hound who took 2 months of constant feeding before anyone could get close enough to him to be able to catch him and bring him to us. Lucky for fletcher that someone cared enough to do this. He is settling in well and will need an understanding home with a totally secure area as he is still fairly nervous of people.

Tess is a female mixed breed dog approx 2 years old. She was found with a litter of pups who she looked after very well and have all now been homed.  She is still shy with people so will need an owner with patience and understanding. Ideally we would like Tess & Fletcher to go to a home together as they have become so devoted to each other.

 

Pharoah is a very distincive looking neutered male lurcher approx 3 yrs old. He's a good natured, friendly dog who learns quickly and is obediant. He gets on well with other dogs and would be suited to a home where he has plenty of space to exercise.

 

 

 

Due to a lack of space at our kennels, the dogs listed below are either with the people who found them or with their owners who are looking to re-home them.

For more information about the following dogs or to make arrangements to see them, please phone or email the contact listed against each dog.  

 

Ben is a handsome three-year-old cross-breed with loads of energy. He loves running around fields, playing catch and is good on and off the lead. He can be a little excitable, so probably isn't ideal for small children. Enjoys the company of other dogs - though not so fond of cats! A great all-round companion.

My name is Goldie and due to no fault of my own I'm looking for a new home. I am four years old.  I love to play, especially with children.  I love to swim and take long walks.  I am very obedient. I give you "the paw" and roll over if you have something nice for me.  Hoping to find a nice home.

Woody was abandoned when he was a small puppy and taken in by his current owner who lives in a small house with a small garden which isn't ideal for a Collie.  Woody is a quick learner, very intelligent, friendly and loves people and children. He is full of energy and needs lots of exercise so is looking for a home with owners that have plenty of space for him to run around and time to take him for long walks. He would be best suited to a home with people around during the day.

Con is a handsome 3 year old Lab x, who is neutered and microchipped. He loves the company of other dogs and would be happiest in a home with a second playful dog. He is house trained and is used to sleeping inside the house at night so we are looking for a home with a secure garden where he will be allowed in the house with his new family. Con has grown up in a home with a family and would best suit experienced dog owners as he is quite is a strong dog. He has a good temperament and is a dog who has been well cared for by his owners since he was a puppy, sadly he is looking for a new home as his heart broken owners have to emigrate and are not able to take him with them.

Buster is a delightful rough-haired neutered male terrier. He is very caring but is also lively and would therefore need a secure garden. He would suit children old enough for rough and tumble. He is vaccinated and wormed.

Bear is a beautiful boy, very gentle and eager to please. He spent a number of weeks alone and afraid on the streets, presumably having been dumped, and we are just so delighted to have finally convinced him to allow himself to be rescued. He adores human company, is great in the house and gets on well with other dogs. We are looking for a home where Bear will live indoors and be very much a part of the family. He will be neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped before re-homing.

Roger has been the sweetest, gentlest of fellows ever since he arrived, despite having been treated very badly, for a long time. He has really blossomed in the last number of weeks as he has healed and recuperated, and he’s just a great little buddy to have around. He loves his daily walks and is otherwise very happy to potter about or curl up for a snooze. Sadly, Roger has a heart condition that will require daily medication, and we are looking for a very special family to take on that responsibility. He will need a home where someone is home throughout the day, and a K9 companion for him to adore would be wonderful. Roger is neutered, micro-chipped and vaccinated.

Meet Coco , a fun loving medium sized wire-haired terrier, approx 2 years old, who enjoys his walks, meeting new people and exploring new places. Coco enjoys company so he would be best suited to a home where someone is around most of the time. He had an injury to one of his back legs but following a successful operation, he should regain 90% use of the leg. He is a loving cheeky young dog who still has some pup habits but is very keen to learn and is curious about all that goes on around him. Coco will make someone a lovely companion.   He has been neutered, is vaccinated and wormed. A home check will be required before he goes to his new home.

The lovely Ludo is a big, gentle goof of a dog who has completely stolen our hearts. Despite being a sad soul on arrival he is now the life of the party and keeps us entertained with his goofy antics. He’s a joy to have around and will make a terrific addition to any active family. We are looking for a home where Ludo will have another larger sized dog for company. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Flame is an 11 month old neutered female Corgi x Terrier. She is a very affectionate little dog who loves to be fussed and stroked and enjoys going for walks and running around the garden. She lives with two boisterious boys who she adores so she would be an excellent family pet. She is house trained and sleeps indoors so we are looking for a home where she will be given plenty of attention and live inside with her family. 

Her owners who she has been with since she was a pup are moving to Spain at the end of January so Flame is looking for a new family to take care of her.

REHOMED

 

Cocoa is a handsome 4 year old neutered and microchipped male German Pointer x. His favourite pastimes are eating, sleeping, little walks and long runs on the beach. He is  house trained and loves to find a nice warm place to curl up and sleep all day. He is very good with children and at the moment, lives with Purdy (see below), but will be fine in a home on his own as he will enjoy getting all the attention and cuddles.

His family are moving to America for two years and can’t take him with them, so he's looking for new owners to love and be loved by.

REHOMED

 

Purdy is a beautiful microchipped female Black Labrador. She is a  young and bouncy two year old, full of fun and just begging for attention and love. Her favourite things are food, attention, playing, long walks, beach runs and more attention. She is a very sweet natured dog who lives with a big family with lots of kids, but would happily live with just about anyone as long as they will feed, walk and love. She is house trained and currently lives with Cocoa. (see above).

Her owners are moving to America for two years and unfortunately can’t take her with them, so she is looking for a new family to love and care for her.
