Buddy Male Lurcher

Buddy is a 4 year old Lurcher.

Buddy has now been in a foster home for a few weeks. His foster parents report “Buddy is an affectionate loving Lurcher and puts people at ease with his playful nature. Whether he’s lounging in a sunny spot or trotting alongside his favourite humans on a walk, he brings warmth and joy wherever he goes. Loving cuddles, soft blankets and playing with his toys in the garden, he’ll become part of the family very quickly.”

When Buddy first came in to us, he was very nervous and distrusting of humans. Over time, Buddy has become a very friendly and playful boy. He very much enjoys his one-to-one time and is learning how to show affection in his own special way!

He loves nothing more than a speedy sprint around our field and will happily play fetch with a football or tennis ball until he is tired out. Treats are also a favourite of his.

Buddy is good and attentive when out on a walk and walks nicely on a lead. Owing to his lack of socialisation when younger, he can be a bit vocal when he sees other dogs out on a walk, but with further input and more socialisation this can be addressed.

As a Lurcher, Buddy has a very strong prey drive and is interested by small wildlife when out walking and small pets in the house. Therefore, Buddy would be suited to a house where he is the only dog without other pets or animals.

Ringo Male Labrador X

Meet Ringo, a delightful 11 ½ old Labrador Collie cross with the heart of a puppy and the charm of a true gentleman. Ringo brings joy to everyone he meets—his affectionate cuddles, playful energy, and lovable personality never fail to make us smile.

Despite his age, Ringo is full of life and loves nothing more than spending time with people. He wants to be friends with everyone and everything, and his enthusiasm is contagious. He’s a big fan of other dogs too, though he can get quite excited when meeting them and is always eager to say hello.

Ringo is currently on a weight loss journey and has already lost 5kg—he’s doing brilliantly but still has a bit more to go to reach a healthier weight. He’ll need an owner who can keep him on track and support his continued progress.

He’s strong on the lead and does pull, so he’ll need someone confident and steady to handle him on walks. That said, he’s incredibly rewarding to be around, and his love for toys and youthful spirit make him a joy to have by your side.

Ringo may be in his golden years, but he’s truly young at heart and ready to share his love with a family who can offer him the care, companionship, and continued support he deserves.…read more

Magnus Male German Shepherd

Meet Magnus, a strikingly handsome German Shepherd with a heart of gold and a sweet, affectionate personality. he is about 18 months old and was found abandoned.

Magnus absolutely thrives on human attention—he loves nothing more than being close to people and will happily try to become everyone’s best friend. He’s even a star at the vet, taking everything in his stride with charm.

Magnus is super intelligent and full of potential, but he’s also a strong boy who will benefit from ongoing training and socialisation to help him channel his energy in the right way. He’s especially enthusiastic when he sees other dogs—he means well but can get a bit overexcited, so he’s still learning how to stay calm in those moments.

His playful side really shines when he’s out in the field, where he happily chases his beloved penguin toy or a football with joy and enthusiasm. To keep him happy and fulfilled, Magnus will need a home that can offer plenty of enrichment, structure, and love.

With the right guidance, Magnus will be an incredibly loyal and rewarding companion.
