Jessie - this gorgeous girl has been let down so many times now, let's find her perfect forever home - share, like & comment as much as you can ❤️

5 Month Old Female

Crossbreed (Lurcher/GSD ?)

Fostered in Basingstoke Hants

People – Jessie can be a little shy initially, once she has got your measure she is friendly and social and loves a cuddle

Can I live with children – She is going to be a larger girl and unfortunately we have a limited history for her so any children 12+ and used to dogs as she is still at the nippy pup stage

Can I live with other dogs ­– Jessie is good with other dogs but can be a little barky initially, she soon relaxes and is then happy to play. Jessie can be homed with or without a resident dog

Can I live with cats – She has not exhibited any high prey drive and so has the potential to live with very bold pup savvy cats, provided new owners are experienced with managing introductions

Health – There are no known health issues

Out and about – Jessie can be barky initially, she appears to have more of the GSD traits and will let you know if she is nervous or unsure, she soon settles and looks to her handler for reassurance. Her confidence out and about is improving and she will need to continue her exposure to all things new in her new home

In the home – She has settled well and is very nearly completely clean in the house, she can exhibit some guarding tendencies around food and items of high value, only with other dogs and this is to be expected given her difficult start in life, she is taking direction well and is making good progress. She is barky with unexpected noises but settles quickly and takes direction well

Type of home – Jessie would love new owners who have GSD experience, she is a cracking girl who is quick and eager to learn, she will benefit hugely from continued training, she looks to please her handler and is very responsive to direction. Her new owners will need to be around for a good part of the day and have previous experience of larger breeds

Lottie

5 Year Old Female

Miniature Dachshund

Fostered in Rainham Essex

People – Lottie can be a little shy initially when meeting new people, she soon settles and then is happy to follow her humans everywhere

Can I live with children - Older teenagers used to small dogs and where they have an understanding that she may initially be a little nervous

Can I live with other dogs ­– Lottie can live with other dogs but she will need a laid back canine companion as she can be a bossy girl, its very much her way or the high way. She is able to live as an only dog and this may well be her preference

Can I live with cats - A feline free home for Lottie please, she has a very high prey drive

Health -Lottie does have a cataract in one eye - at this time surgery is not required and poses her no problems

Out and about – She lives to be outside, Lottie is an absolute hunter and will chase rabbits, rats, squirrels - she is a typical hunting Dachshund. Her recall will need work as she will follow a scent or an a small furry! She travels well in the car, she is settled and calm. She walks fine on lead, can be a little nervous of heavy traffic

In the home - Lottie has settled well in foster, she loves the garden and will spend hours checking for any intruding animals. Lottie is happy and confident with all house hold sights and sounds and is happy to great visitors to the home once she has checked them out. She is clean in the house and fine to be left for short periods

Type of home - We are looking for owners who are around for a good part of the day, an understanding of her breed and needs would be great. As most Dachs owners know they do like home comforts and Lottie is no exception, after a good long walk a comfy lap or sofa is a must. Although a small dog, Lottie has a huge personality and will need owners used to small but mighty dogs, a secure garden is a must as Lottie will follow a scent or an animal in her garden. Please do consider the cost of insurance for her - The potential for IVDD in this breed means good insurance is imperative

Lottie has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and is up to date with flea and worming treatment, she has also had his teeth scaled and polished

PLEASE NOTE: WE WILL CONSIDER ALL APPLICATIONS IF THEY MATCH THE RE HOMING CRITERIA AS PLACED. IF YOU APPLY AND DO NOT MATCH THE HOMING CRITERIA YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE REJECTED

Potential adopters will be expected to travel to Rainham Essex to meet Lottie

Barry

14 Years Young Male

Bedlington Terrier

Fostered in Abbey Wood London

People – Barry is a sweet little soul who enjoys company, he is also quite self reliant and is happy to sit and watch the world go by. He enjoys a fuss and attention but is not an "in your face" chap that demands attention from his humans

Health - Barry arrived in a bit of a state, he had a large tumour on his tail and lots of infected and lumpy warts. His tail has been removed quite high as it was necessary to fully remove the tumour. This has healed well and there should be no ongoing issues. We also removed the infected warts and he has recovered well. His mouth was in terrible condition and so he has also had most of his teeth removed, although this sounds terrible to us, his mouth was much more comfortable for him as soon as his teeth were removed and he is a much happier lad for having had everything done

In the home - Barry has settled well into foster, he does have the odd accident, we suspect this is due to his past situation and should soon settle down. He has been showing his cheeky side and will, if he has the opportunity, counter surf and try his luck with cupboards! He has not had the greatest time recently and this behaviour stems from past need rather than habit, we will discuss this in full with suitable applicants

Type of home - We are looking for owners who are around for a good part of the day, this lad deserves a royal retirement where he can be spoilt and indulged for the rest of his days. Marathon walks are no longer needed but he does enjoy a nice walk to survey his estate. The time and patience to allow him to adjust and understanding for what he has been through will allow this boy to flourish. Please do not let his age put you off, he is made of strong stuff and is a resilient and adorable lad

Please go to the website www.prodogsdirect.org.uk to read Barry's full bio

Potential adopters will be expected to travel to Abbey Wood, London to meet Barry

Reggie

10 Month Old Male

Crossbreed

Fostered in Welling Kent

People – Reggie is a friendly and social lad, he can be a little shy initially but soon settles and adores people

Can I live with children - This lad is used to living with children but he is young and bouncy, any resident children would need to be used to living with a bouncy pup and 10+ just because of his size and energy

Can I live with other dogs ­– He has lived as an only dog and is currently a single dog in foster, he is very good with other dogs but is OTT in his attempts to play, any resident dogs would need to be very accepting and tolerant as he does not always listen when being told that play is over

Can I live with cats - A feline free home for this lad please

Health - There are no known health issues

Out and about – Reggie is very strong on lead and has started learning some manners with his foster. With regular exercise his excitement and pulling are improving. His training will be ongoing in his new home. He is happy and confident outside and he travels well in the car, he can be a little nervous getting into the car but settles well once in

In the home - Reggie is clean in the house. He is settled in the home and welcoming to visitors. Reggie is confident with all household sights and sounds, unexpected loud noises can make him jump but he recovers quickly. He is prone to "counter surfing" given the opportunity, we are working on this but training will be on going in his new home

Type of home - We are looking for owners who are around for a good part of the day, time to continue this lads training is a must. Reggie is an active lad who will need owners who can meet his needs for both mental and physical stimulation. A little effort will see huge rewards for this lads new owners, a great lad who will make an active and fun addition for his new family

Reggie has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and is up to date with flea and worming treatment

Potential adopters will be expected to travel to Welling Kent to meet Reggie

While an exact current figure is not available one estimate suggests around 7,600 healthy dogs are euthanised annually in the UK due to lack of space in rescues (approximately 21 per day).

In 2024 there were 2,488 experiments carried out on beagles in Great Britain. Almost all dogs used in experiments are killed at the end of the procedure.

Stats released by GBGB (the organisation responsible for licencing greyhound tracks in the UK) show that 244 dogs died or were put to sleep due to their participation in greyhound racing over the last year. This does not include data from the 2 UK tracks who are not licenced under the GBGB.

These numbers are estimates and do not include data from veterinary practices who do not record euthanasia numbers.
