How to Adopt Get in Touch

Dolly Female Pug

Hello Dolly here
I am 7 years old and have been here for over a year.  When I arrived in January 2019 I was in a very sorry state. I was in pain with very sore skin and I was very unsociable.  This was no fault of mine, I was not cared for or taught social skills.
So much has changed now, my people skills have improved tremendously and I now have some doggy friends.  I still take a little time with people that I don’t know but I can be bribed with a treat.
I am very affectionate and funny when I get to know you I just need a chance.
I can be stubborn and sometimes moody but that is all part of my charm
I will be on medication for my skin,  which is now amazing  but the charity will help with this
A pet free home needed please,but I am happy to walk with other dogs.

Lilly Female Crossbreed

Lilly’s past is a bit of a mystery as she came to us from the pound, she’s aged at around 3 years old and her behaviour definitely reflects that. She’s a very lively girl who loves to play, and will drown you in kisses if you give her the chance!
Lilly can be stubborn and has a few quirks that we’re trying to overcome with training, praise and lots of treats (her favourite), and although she has already come a long way she still has issues to overcome,  like freezing on a walk because something will suddenly frighten her such as traffic or someone walking on the other side of the road.
For these reasons, Lilly will need an experienced owner who will continue her training in her new home in addition to helping her find her confidence.  She will also need to be the only dog in the home as she does likes her own space.

Ross Male Lurcher

Ross is an eight year old Lurcher. He has come from the pound.  He is good on the lead but has the typical chase instinct of the breed and his recall needs work.  He likes 40-50 minutes walking twice a day and loves to run on the field.  He likes to walk with other dogs his size, but not keen on small ones. He is friendly towards everyone, loves cuddles and affection. He is slightly anxious and would love to be in a home environment.  He is looking for a loving home with owners who understand the breed and have the time to work with him.  He needs a new home where he will be the only pet.…read more

She also loves to run around but she can’t do too much exercise in one go due to her being a brachycephalic dog as she can have breathing difficulties. Her friend Tara is a 7 year old pug cross who has a lot of energy and loves a ball to play with! Both of them enjoy the company of other dogs and will happily play in a group.

Kimmie Female Westie

Kimmie is a 14 year old Westie, turning 15 this summer. As she is an elderly dog she is quite slow and sometimes a bit wobbly on her feet but she does enjoy a short walk once or twice a day. Kimmie also enjoys spending time in our exercise  field so she will need a home with a garden, so she can do lots of sniffing and exploring, and she loves a little run around if she’s feeling silly, but on the other hand she very much loves to be curled up on her bed dreaming.
She tends to do her own thing most of the time and is not a dog that particularly like being fussed but she does like company. Kimmie is very set in her ways and it takes a little while for her to trust new people but she will eventually come around, however she does not like other dogs so she will need to be the only pet in the house. The ideal situation for Kimmie would be an adult only home with no other pets, a garden she can wonder around in, an owner who can give her at most two short walks a day and most importantly a nice comfy bed to sleep in and lots of yummy treats.
She will need to be close enough to the sanctuary so that she can continue to see our vet.
