For adoption: Puppies Gamma (top) and Pie (bottom)
3 months (can travel at 4 months) - small/medium

Gamma and Pie’s owner was an elderly man, a dog loving person, who had dogs all his life. Sadly, he is now very ill and incapable of caring for them. Pie and Gamma are two of them. His neighbours have taken his other dogs but our rescuer has been asked to find homes for the two puppies. Pie and Gamma are very sweet, playful pups who love people, other dogs, snacks and belly rubs. Their mum was small size so we think Gamma and Pie will remain fairly small.

Hello to all our followers.

We hope you had a nice Bank Holiday and are now back in the swing of things 🙂

Unfortunately, our week has not started good. Tobi, a very beautiful Romanian Shep, who was adopted in July 2023 has a serious problem, and we need all your help.

We will attach a GoFundMe link here for you to read about it. Needless to say, you will be quite disgusted how he has been let down by numerous humans.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/meet-3-legged-toby

We understand money is tight nowadays, but this one is a very unique situation. Even £1 will help Toby. Less than a cup of tea or packet of biscuits.

Please, have a read, look at the photos and if you can help we would really really appreciate it.

Please share far and wide if you can. It costs nothing but can help save a life.

Thank you everyone

For adoption: Dora - 18 months - medium/large

Dora was found abandoned by a family who will foster her temporarily until she finds a home but can’t keep her as they are moving to Australia.
She looks like a Labrador retriever mix and has a typical labrador temperament. She is currently living with children and other dogs and is very people friendly - a loving girl who likes to play.

For adoption: Britta - 2 years - small (approx. 28cm)

This little sweetie is Britta who was found abandoned locally by one of our rescuers on the outskirts of the town. She is a very loving dog who is good with people, other dogs and the cat. It seems likely that Britta had previously had puppies but they were nowhere to be found and probably left her once they were old enough. Britta would make a lovely companion dog.

Why is this sweet dog still waiting…?

For adoption: Rex - 4 years - medium (with short legs)

Quite a sad story this one…For the last two years Rex was the companion of a disabled man who suffered from brittle bone disease and lived in a wheelchair. Rex was a stray at first and the man started feeding him in front of his house. In time he saw the dog’s calm nature and adopted him. Since then they kept each other company through thick and thin. The man was challenged all his life by his illness, lack of support from his family and financial problems but he never gave up the dog, until the day he died. When our rescuers heard of his sad death, they rushed round to find out what had happened to Rex - he had already been thrown out onto the street where luckily somebody was feeding him bread and water and he hadn’t wandered away. They took him back to their house where he is now living with several dogs and cats - he is frightened of cats though so better in a home without them. Rex is a sweet, people loving dog, laid back and low energy. He loves the occasional play with the other dogs but mostly likes to keep to himself. We are looking for a quiet calm household for him as he prefers quiet - he is used to a wheelchair. He can go as an only pet or to keep company to a dog of same calm nature as his.

She’s still waiting…

For adoption: Annick - 2 years - medium

Annick was abandoned close to a local supermarket, where she was fed by customers and the employees. One of the workers there even took her to be spayed but nobody wanted to take her home, so it was left to our rescuers to take her to the safety of their home.
Annick is very sweet, docile and well behaved. She is now living indoors with dogs of various ages and sizes. Although she was fine with the stray cats near to where she was found, she does bark at the cats in her rescuers’ garden. She is definitely a mixed breed but looks as if she could have labrador retriever in her background.

For adoption: Chase - 16 months - small/medium

Chase was handed to one of our rescuers by his owners because their garden was not secure and they were fed up having to keep looking for him.

He is very loving, loves to cuddle and gets along well with both males and female dogs ( currently living with 10 dogs , different ages and sizes) and he is fine with children, the former owner has a 4 year old daughter and he loved running around with her.

A potential adopter must have a good sized fence or wall as he can jump over a low fence.

Why is this lovely boy still waiting? BENJI IS IN THE UK…

For adoption: Benji - 5 years - medium -IN THE UK

This stunning boy is Benji. As you can see he is a handsome dog, housetrained, walks well on the lead and is good with other dogs. He has never lived with children or cats so we are looking for an adult only home. Benji is a smart dog who enjoys learning tricks and has done some agility - he probably has a lot of border collie in his background. Owing to a change in family circumstances, which has upset Benji so much he has become over protective of one family member, we need to find Benji a new loving home. He has lived as an only dog for four years but would enjoy living with another dog. Benji has had an external assessment and was considered a really lovely dog. He responds well to his holiday dog sitter and a neighbour who takes him during the day at times. If you feel you can offer Benji a new home or would like further detail please make contact using the details below.

For adoption: Ylana - 5 months - large

Ylana’s mum gave birth to 7 puppies in a garden, in a local village. Luckily the people who lived there were caring people and looked after mum and her seven pups until they were old enough to be adopted. The family are keeping mum, and will neuter her, the four boys have found families locally and we are looking for homes for the three girls.
Ylana is very friendly, full of fun, not shy with people and good with other dogs but she is a little too enthusiastic and playful for cats at the moment.

Mum looks like a pointer mix. Ylana looks as if she also has some hound in her and maybe some black Labrador. Who knows? Whatever her mix, Mum is very good natured, loving and docile so if Ylana turns out anything like her as an adult, she will be a wonderful addition to any household.
