Last Friday we welcomed these 8 beautiful little pups in to our care, along with their father. The pups are now turning 8 weeks old next week and will soon be ready for adoption. Their mother was a Labrador and their father is a Whippet (He is available for adoption soon too, his name is Curtis). They will grow to a medium size and have been raised around kids and other animals, they are very sweet and dainty little pups. So for now, let me introduce you to Max and his seven sisters: Tina, Harper, Cleo, Hazel, Connie, Annie and Pearl

⭐️⭐️RITA'S REHOMING APPEAL- PLEASE SHARE!⭐️⭐️
Rita has raised her pups and now she needs a forever home of her own. Rita is around 1-2yr old and she is a medium sized saluki mix.
Rita is a timid girl, who would like a calm forever home. She can live with teens and over, she wouldnt be suited in a home with young kids. She takes a while to warm up to new people, but once she does she starts to show her more playful side. She just needs to continue gaining confidence. With me she is a super friendly and loving girl. Rita is ok with other dogs and can live with another dog pending successful meet and greet.
She will likely need some house training initally, but she has been doing well in the house. She would need someone home most of the time initally, to help settle her in and ease her worries in a new home, as she will likely find it a little stressful at first when she leaves our home. If you would like to give this special girl a forever home, click on the link to apply: https://www.petadoptionwebsite.com/pet/66b679969885ac0008b8238c

⭐ FINNS REHOMING APPEAL- PLEASE SHARE!⭐
Finn a beautiful and wonderful boy who really deserves a forever home. Finn is very smart and knows many tricks such as: Sit, Lie down, Spin, Give paw, Jump up. He loves learning new skills and would love a home to help him continue his learning. He is a great little model and will even happily pose in fancy hats. He is now 5 years old and he is a lurcher. Finn loves meeting new people and would love a forever home with teens and older. He loves lying up on the bed next to you and getting cuddles. Finn does have some lead reactivity when out on walks, for us it isnt a major issue as we just change direction before he starts barking and it just interupts his mind and stops the reaction. But when he does react he just barks. (We are happy to cover some training costs if you need support from a dog trainer.) He loves long walks on the beach etc. In rescue Finn mixes well with other dogs of various sizes, but would like a home as the only dog at the moment as he has been in rescue for years and needs time to adjust and settle into a home. He can occassionally not like sharing his toys with the other dogs, if he is actively playing with it and they try to take it off him. But in general he is a very good boy. If you can offer him a forever home, please click on his link; https://www.petadoptionwebsite.com/pet/6355b3d1fb7bdf0009a6d52f

😍DOTTIE- 6MTH OLD HOUND PUP SEEKING FOREVER HOME! PLEASE SHARE!😍
Dottie is a wonderful girl who is seeking a suitable forever home.
She is great with other dogs and would prefer a home with another active dog to play with. But its not essential.
Dottie's is believed to be beagle x harrier hound, her mother was a beagle x hound mix (also available for adoption, called Amber).
Dottie would be best in a home with no young kids currently, whilst she is offcourse friendly, she is a bouncy and strong pup who will knock over small kids etc.
Dottie will require an active home, someone who has breed experience, or experience of other active breeds would be best suited. Do you like hiking and long sniffy walks? Or maybe you have another dog who loves to play and run?
She not only likes physical exercise such as running and walking, but she also likes mental excercises such as learning new tricks, brain games, food despensing toys etc. In the right home she will continue to grow into a great girl.
She has been working on her house training in her previous home, but still needs a little work. She is crate trained and currently sleeps in a crate at night time or for short periods of time during the day. She would need a home with company most of the day, as she is only a baby and wouldnt suit someone with long working hours. But its fine for a few hours alone at a time. Just keep in mind she is a very young pup so could still chew etc. due to teething. Through we havent had this issue so far.
If you think you can offer her a secure, active and loving FOREVER home, please fill in an application. https://www.petadoptionwebsite.com/pet/6716c411f951f10008d0c318

🩷LUNA'S REHOMING APPEAL- PLEASE SHARE!🩷
1yr old Medium sized German Shepherd mix.
Luna is a beautiful and smart girl who is seeking a suitable forever home. Luna would love a home in a more quiet and rural setting if possible at the moment. She has been raised around kids and loves kids and other people. Luna is dog friendly and could live with another medium/large dog with a successful meet and greet, she can be wary of new dogs at first but does come around and then loves to play. Luna does have lead reactivity when out on walks due to poor socialisation when she was a pup. We hope to have a dog trainer help us with this, and are happy to provide some sessions with the dog trainer, when in her new home. She is young and has so much potential to learn. She came into our care with her pups, but they have all been rehomed and now its Lunas turn. Luna would need a home with a secure garden and ideally someone home quite a bit during the day, though here she is in the house and hasnt been destructive or noisy so far when on her own. She is house trained, but might need some refreshing when in a new home and routine. https://www.petadoptionwebsite.com/pet/661d5dfedc0f750008af239f

🥰💖SKYE'S REHOMING APPEAL- PLEASE SHARE!💖🥰
Skye is now around one year old and she has been in rescue for months with not a single visitor. Skye is a staffy cross, so she is slightly taller and fatter than an average staffy. She is generally good with other dogs, but wouldnt rehome her with small dogs simply due to her strength. She is great with people, some may say over friendly. Skye can be boisterous and does lack some manners still, for this reason she would need a home with no young kids as she could easily knock them over. She is crate trained, she may need some house training initally. Skye would need someone who is home most of the time, as she does require some additional training and patience to help her settle down and show her true potential. She thinks she is a little lap dog, in a big dogs body 😂 If you would like to apply for Skye, please click on the link: https://www.petadoptionwebsite.com/pet/64d0b3efe7e4ab00086c7fdd

NOT A SINGLE APPLICATION FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL BIG BEAR SO FAR!😭
🐻🐻LOLA'S REHOMING APPEAL- PLEASE SHARE!🐻🐻
is a lovely big girl, who just loves people. Once she bonds with you, she is like your shadow.
Lola is great in the house and has been used to living in a loving home most of her life. So she would really love to find a new home to spend the rest of her life.
Lola does mix with other dogs here at the rescue and can socialise with other dogs on a one to one basis with the correct introductions. She can be nervous with other dogs at times, so introducing new dogs to her has to be done properly. Lola would love a home as the only dog, as she deserves to have all the attention.
Whilst Lola has lived with kids previously, she does have food guarding issues around feed times and bones, so a home with teens and over is required, so that this behaviour can be successfully managed. (Please dont let this put you off, her families have all said she is an amazing girl, this behaviour can be easily managed.)
Lola is not suitable around cats or small animals. She would be best in a more rural or quiet area as she can be reactive on lead at times, she doesnt like strange dogs running into her space when on walks. We can cover some training costs to help with this issue. True to the Akita in her mix, she is very loyal to her family and would love a family who will be equally as loyal to her. We really need this next home to be her forever home. https://www.petadoptionwebsite.com/pet/66dd62eeebf7ab0008e05fcf

❤❤CHARLIE'S REHOMING APPEAL- PLEASE SHARE!❤❤
Charlie is around 4 years old and he is a Springer Spaniel, he is seeking a forever home with teens and older, he is not suitable with young children. He is good with other dogs of all sizes and genders, so could live with another dog. Charlie came into our care from the dog pound, before that he was kept outside in a garden. So he will need some house training initally, but he is a smart boy so should learn fairly quickly when in a routine. As far as Springers go, Charlie is one of the more calm ones. He isnt noisy or destructive so far in anyway. Charlie loves playing fetch, going for walks and getting attention. He can be a nervous boy sometimes until he gets used to you, but once he does he is a lovely boy. He just needs a little reassurance sometimes. He is a very lovely boy who just needs a patient and loving forever home.

💖RETA'S REHOMING APPEAL- PLEASE SHARE! 💖
1yr old Medium sized Lurcher.
Reta is a beautiful little lurcher, who would love her forever home.
She is dog and child friendly. She can live with another dog/s pending successful meet and greet.
Rita was house trained in her previous home, but may need a little refreshing when in a new home and routine.
She would prefer a home where someone is home most of the time, or she has another dog for company. As she is not used to being alone, she has always had another dog or human around. Reta came in to us very thin, but she is doing really well now. She does have an additional medical condition, we can talk about it with any potential adopters. It doesnt currently require any additional care, but it does mean she often requires a course of steroids every few months or so.
She is a friendly girl who just loves cuddles and attention. She loves going for walks or zoomies, then spending the rest of day snoozing on the sofa. She loves to be pampered, and currently goes to bed in her Pyjamas and loves to be tucked in under her blankets.
Reta can be anxious when it comes to meal times and doesnt like other dogs near her food, so we feed her in her crate, once she and the other dogs have eaten, she gets back out of her crate and spends the day playing with her doggy friends with no issues. She walks well on the lead so far. She is a good girl, who loves treats and learning new tricks. She just needs a forever home to help her reach her full potential.

🍀LUCKY- 2yr old Labrador x Collie, seeking his forever home!🍀
Lucky came into our care, after his owner thought they had found him a good home through 'gumtree', but sadly not. The person collected him from his family on the friday night and dumped him at the rescue on saturday morning, claiming he was a stray. But sadly this has been proven to be untrue and the person who dumped him, was infact the person who got him from his family the night before. 😕
Lucky is a very friendly boy, his original family had him from he was 8 weeks old, he is now around 2yrs old. In their home he lived with kids, so he could potentially live with kids again who are confident around bigger dogs.
Lucky is great with other dogs so far here at the rescue, so could live with another dog pending meet and greet. Lucky has lived in a home before so is used to being indoors etc. but will need some house training initally as he settles into a new home and routine.
He walks ok on the lead, can be a little strong when he is excited, but does settle down.
He hasnt shown any signs of seperation anxiety so far, and hasnt been destructive in our home so far.
He LOVES playing fetch, and would chase after tennis balls all day if he could.
A secure garden would be required. https://www.petadoptionwebsite.com/pet/6716c51eb255aa0008ab8e05

⭐⭐ ELLIE'S REHOMING APPEAL- PLEASE SHARE! ⭐⭐
Ellie is a beautiful and fun loving girl seeking her forever home.
She is a collie or collie mix, we arent 100% sure.
She is dog friendly, currently mixes well with other dogs. She can be a little barky at first, but once she gets a sniff she is generally ok. She walks well on the lead, but can be a little nervous at times, she has likely been a farm dog so everything is still new for her at the moment. She is only a baby herself, probably around 1-2yrs old.
She is great with people of all ages, has shown no behaviours of concern, she has been nothing but sweet.
We dont know much about her history, so she will likely need some house training initally, but I dont think it would take her long to learn as she is very smart. She would like an active home, with someone who is home alot initally to help her settle in and adjust and can build up her leaving times slowly. But so far she hasnt been destructive in our home, but does have another dog for company at all times.
