Lilly Female Rottweiler cross

Lilly is a 7 year old Rottweiler cross.  She is a highly intelligent dog, who needs a special home with an experienced, sensible owner;  ideally someone who has an active outdoor life and needs a dog to accompany them.    She might also be suitable for scent work as she is not large, and learns fast.
 
She was very worried about getting into a car, but now with patience and perseverance, she travels quite happily.   She was also extremely unsure about walking on a lead, and would suddenly stop and refuse to move, so it took time for her to appreciate that a walk was a “good thing”!
Her training will be ongoing as she knew very little when she came to us and has obviously suffered setbacks being moved around.   She is very affectionate and loves a fuss, but gets very excited with toys and balls, so play is limited and training games are best.   And she has occasional mood swings which maybe to do with her previous life.
 
She walks with our other dogs and is fine, but can react to strange dogs if they push into her, especially if they bark at her.

Lilly settles well at night and has not been upset by fireworks. 

She came to us from the pound and we have now had her quite a while. 

Lilly has been homed twice and returned twice – different reasons both times.   We always make it clear to adopters that there is no substitute for  professional help and sometimes an experienced eye can pick up something quite simple – we also give out a list of dog trainers and behaviourists who we know are thorough.     Sadly this advice was not acted on.   We can only say that Lilly is a delightfully friendly dog – she has never been difficult with any of the staff or volunteers at the sanctuary and even likes the vet.   She can however be stubborn and sometimes needs to be coaxed into the right action.   And she needs a home where she won’t be left as she gets upset.
We do hope that there is the right person out there for her, who will be patient and understanding and take advice if necessary.
We think that she would be best suited to a one or two person adult home.

Buddy Male Lurcher

Buddy is a 3½ year old Lurcher.

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.

Rico Male Crossbreed

Rico is a wonderful boy. He is very clever, affectionate towards people and loves other dogs. He is particularly good with smaller dogs and will curb his considerable enthusiasm to account for the size differential.
He has boundless energy and loves his walks. He has an endearing curiosity and loves to meet his regular dog-mates on the Canford SANG where he is a minor celebrity amongst the regular dog-walkers. Many of them follow his progress with interest and would love to adopt Rico but already have their full quota -or more – of dogs.
Once Rico has had a good walk, sniffed all there is to sniff and said hello to as many dogs as possible, he likes nothing better than a good cuddle and fuss back at his chalet.
Rico is an energetic dog and for an active couple who want a intelligent, expressive and affectionate companion, he will make a fantastic pet, as he can be very boisterous and gets excited easily perhaps a home without children would be best.  He is a strong dog so needs a new owner who can hold him on the lead.

Archie Male Pug cross

Archie is a 3 year old Pug cross.
Archie is looking for someone dedicated to helping him with his anxiety of being left alone. He is getting better during the day and is starting to settle more.
Archie is comfortable with dogs he knows and who are calm and relaxed, unfamiliar dogs on walks make him anxious which can cause him to be reactive.
He is a very smart boy and knows commands such as touch, wait and stay. We are working on improving his recall, food is proving helpful with this. Due to his love of food, Archie is needing to have little and often meals during the day.
Archie is a very loveable boy, he would cuddle all day if allowed! He would need a home where he is the only animal as he doesn’t like to share his people

Mostly house trained. She still has occasional accidents indoors when she’s excited.
Just need to watch for the signs she needs to go outside.
Has learnt basic commands Sit, Wait, Paw, “Find” if you hide her kibble.
Loves her walks, and is good on the lead. However, she is very excited to be out exploring and is a bit of a
steam train, so training required.
Not concerned about loud noises, but will show her interest with excited barks at traffic.
She loves to meet other dogs and is friendly and has to say hello to all the humans.
She loves to explore the garden, and have a little dig at the soil.
Whilst she is quite lively during the daytime, she loves to snuggle up on the settee next to you in the
evening.
She currently sleeps in the lounge in her pen with her sister and they share a bed.
She is very aware of what’s going on and while she goes to bed at 10pm, she will wake up and let you
know she is still there if you have to use the rest room yourself in the night ! After a tickle she will settle
again and sleep until 5.30am.

Rosie Female Border Collie

 

Rosie is two years old and ideally needs a single woman who is home most of the day and to be an only dog. She bonded well with a foster mum, happily sits at your feet, loves cuddles and doesn’t need lots of walking and is really chilled at home. She is house trained

She gets on with other dogs when out and about and was fine with a cat that came into the garden.

Rosie is very wary of people she doesn’t know, and especially men, but that’s to be expected and she’s already a lot calmer as she gets to know the staff and gets used to being walked by new people as they know to ignore her and instead let her come to them when she feels ready.

She will walk happily on a lead and doesn’t pull.

Rosie just wants a person to fall in love with and who will be the most loyal companion.

Her fear of new people will be easier when she is adopted – and we have help available for her during the transition.

Kimmie Female Border Collie

Kimmie is a small Border Collie who is under 2 years old.

She has come from a difficult situation and it is taking time to help her gain confidence. She is especially wary of men, and new people which is understandable.

She is currently being fostered with Bentley and they get on like a house on fire, so she could be homed with another dog of similar energy. She loves a lap to sit on and is really affectionate and beginning to enjoy life. She happily plays ball with you in the garden and loves cuddles. She is house trained and has started to travel in a car without fussing. She can be left at home and will just settle and sleep until you return!

She is sister to Rosie and probably Bentley and Brodie are her siblings.

She needs a home where her new owners are aware of the needs of an anxious dog but who will give her the time and patience to adjust to a world that seems alien to her.  She has only just started walking on a long lead and going out for walks but with patience and lots of TLC she will be a fantastic companion dog who asks for little but will give lots of love in return.

Whoever adopts Kimmie will be offered ongoing BC behaviour support…read more
