Meet Charlie, a handsome Collie with a clever mind, an affectionate heart and plenty of energy to share. He’s looking for a calm, understanding home where he can continue to build his confidence and enjoy life at his own pace. Charlie is a wonderful Collie who thrives on companionship and loves spending time with his people. Affectionate and incredibly intelligent, he's a quick learner who enjoys training, belly rubs and being part of the family. He can get very excited when meeting new people because all he really wants is to be loved. Charlie would do best as the only dog in the home. While he can learn to be around other dogs, he needs time to build trust and can be reactive, so a home without canine companions will allow him to feel more relaxed and secure. Like many Collies, Charlie is active and enjoys having both physical exercise and mental stimulation. His ideal home would be in the countryside or a quiet area with a large, secure garden where he can run, play and explore. He'd love an active owner who can enjoy runs or games with him away from busy places, as unfamiliar or crowded environments can make him anxious. Charlie walks well on the lead and has been trained to comfortably wear a muzzle when out and about. This is simply to keep him safe if he becomes overwhelmed in unfamiliar situations. He also travels well in the car and is happy to come along on adventures. Charlie is not suitable to live with cats and is looking for a home with children aged 10 years and over . With the right home, Charlie will reward his family with unwavering loyalty, affection and a lifetime of companionship.

Meet Tiko, a gentle and sensitive boy looking for a calm home where he can truly blossom. Tiko can be a little reserved when meeting new people and likes to take his time sussing things out, but once he learns to trust you, his affectionate side starts to shine and he is more than happy to seek out attention and companionship from his favourite people. Tiko is still learning about the world around him and has had limited experience walking on a lead, so he will need patient and understanding adopters who are happy to work with him slowly and at his own pace. A fully secure garden will be important for him while he builds his confidence and settles into home life. Out and about, Tiko is happy calmly passing other dogs, but he would prefer to be the only pet in the home so he can enjoy all the love and attention to himself. Due to his gentle and sensitive nature, he is looking for a quiet, adult only household where life is predictable and peaceful. With kindness, patience, and time, Tiko has all the potential to become a wonderfully loyal companion for someone willing to let him move at the pace that feels right for him.

“🐾 Bonded Pair Seeking a Home Together – Morty & Dana 🐾 Please note: Morty and Dana are a bonded pair and must stay together. They are very attached to one another and will not be rehomed separately. Morty is an approximately 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who has been with his owner since he was a puppy. He is affectionate, energetic, curious, and loves being close to people. He enjoys running in fields, exploring outdoors, learning basic commands, and is highly food-motivated. Morty can become vocal when left alone initially, but settles after a while. He would thrive in a home that can give him regular walks, structure, and stimulation. Dana is a 13-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who is affectionate, playful, and loves comfort. Her favourite things include burrowing under blankets, tug-of-war games, and digging in the garden when she suspects there are rodents nearby. She prefers having her own bed and food space and can growl at Morty if he gets too close during those moments. Dana would benefit from gentle exercise and enrichment to help keep her active and engaged. Both dogs would suit a home experienced with terriers and able to provide routine, attention, stimulation, and secure outdoor space. They would especially appreciate a home with a large, secure grassy garden where they can safely run around and enjoy outdoor time. They are both neutered/spayed. Vaccinations are currently not up to date. This is a very difficult decision, and the priority is finding the right long-term home where they will receive the time, care, exercise, and affection they deserve To apply for Morty and Dana, please fill in the adoption questionnaire

🏠 Rehoming Frank: Your Future Furry Companion! 🐾 Meet Frank, the lovable 6-year-old Cockapoo! Frank is a wonderful blend of Cocker Spaniel and Poodle, bringing with him an array of delightful traits that make him a fantastic companion. Known for their friendly and affectionate nature, Cockapoos are energetic, intelligent, and eager to please. Frank exemplifies these qualities, but he also has some unique needs that require an experienced owner. About Frank: - Age: 6 years - Health: Neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated - Living Situation: Frank can coexist with other dogs after a successful introduction, but he would thrive best in a home without children. - Behaviour: Frank has some guarding issues, so we’re seeking a home with experience in managing this behaviour. We’ll discuss strategies for this during a meet-and-greet. Here are some important details to consider if you're thinking about welcoming Frank into your home: 1. Commitment to Training: Frank will require a dedicated owner who is willing to continue his training with a specified trainer. This is crucial for his development and confidence. The trainer has a proven method that has worked well with Frank, and their guidance will be invaluable in helping him adapt to his new environment. 2. Building Trust: Frank is a sensitive soul who needs time and patience to build trust. He thrives on positive reinforcement and gentle interactions. It’s essential that his new owner understands the importance of creating a safe space for him to feel comfortable and secure. 3. Understanding His Past: We believe Frank may have had experiences he would rather forget. Dogs have incredible memories, and it can take a long time for them to adjust to new situations. Patience will be key in helping him overcome any past traumas and allowing him to feel at home. 4. Personalised Training Approach: Our trainer will begin with an onsite visit to your home, allowing them to assess Frank’s needs in a familiar environment. Following this visit, there will be ongoing sessions with the trainer to ensure that both you and Frank are supported throughout the training process. This tailored approach will help establish a strong bond and set the foundation for a successful partnership. If you believe you can provide the loving and understanding home that Frank deserves, please submit an application online. We’re excited to find him the perfect match! Thank you for considering giving Frank another chance at a happy life! 🐶❤️
