  • Teddy – Photo 1 of 1

    Teddy

    £250adoption fee

    Terrier type · 9 years · Male

    Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland

    Teddy was sadly returned to us after being adopted in January last year. Teddy has a history of resource guarding of anything he finds valuable – this has led to bites in his previous home and here at the Sanctuary so this is something that we would want any potential adopter to be fully aware of and comfortable managing potential issues. We have had Teddy checked very thoroughly by our vet in case he was in any sort of pain. Teddy is quite the little character here. He’s not a fan of long walks but prefers to spend time pottering about and playing with toys. Teddy would benefit most from an experienced adopter with some knowledge in working with resource guarding and training with positive reinforcement. Teddy will need an adult only home with no visiting children but he may be able to live with another dog after successful meet and greets. Teddy will also be a part of our April’s Wish programme – where you would benefit from some sessions with a behaviourist during the adoption process to help him transition from the Sanctuary to his new home.

  • Bert – Photo 1 of 1

    Bert

    £250adoption fee

    Shih Tzu X · 8 years · Male

    Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland

    Bert has had some negative experiences in his life which has led to some fears around meeting new people. Bert certainly appreciates a slow introduction but he is a little guy that’s worth taking the time to get to know. This means that potential adopters would need to be prepared to make lots of visits to the Sanctuary over quite a period of time in order to build up a positive relationship with Bert. When Bert learns to trust you get to see a lovely playful little guy full of energy. Bert also struggles with some resource guarding issues so we would prefer adopters to have knowledge of resource guarding and be prepared to manage this behaviour in a positive way. Bert will be part of our Aprils Wish program so you will have the added benefit of some sessions with a highly qualified behaviourist pre- and post- adoption in an effort to help you understand and manage Bert’s issues. Due to his issues, Bert will need an adult only home. Although Bert has been an only dog we will consider homes with other dogs pending successful meet and greets.

  • Red – Photo 1 of 1

    Red

    £250adoption fee

    Dog · Male

    Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland

    Sadly, Red has been with us for over three years now. Red has some fears around meeting new people and appreciates a slow introduction to build a good relationship with him – but once he’s comfortable around you he is full of kisses and cuddles. This means that potential adopters would need to be prepared to make lots of visits to the Sanctuary over quite a period of time in order to build up a positive relationship with Red. Red also struggles with traffic and busy areas so he is in need of an active new home in a quiet area. Here at our Sanctuary he is exercised in our enclosed paddocks and is often taken off-site to quieter areas for calm walks – he travels really well in the car/van. Red has also shown reactivity to other dogs, he will need to be the only dog in the home. Red would be best suited in an adult only home and he will need an experienced owner who is capable of working through these issues. He is also a part of our April’s Wish programme – which will include sessions with a dog behaviourist pre- and post-adoption to help him transition into his new home. Red has so much love to give, when he feels safe and secure he piles this onto you, whether you want it or not, we hope someone eventually sees what we do in Red.
