dogs for rehoming..the dogs in our care are all lovely.,None of them deserve to be in kennels.We try to give them as much love and attention as we can. They are walked daily by our volunteers;given free running when we know they will come back to us(which they all do);We give them treats and a cuddle when they are put back into their kennels,but nothing can substitute having a home where they will be loved and given the chance they deserve. Its not always easy taking on a rescue dog,they sometimes do need time to adjust to a new home and surroundings,but with a little time and understanding,they do make wonderful companions.

Below are a selection of our dogs that are looking for new caring owners. All our dogs are vet checked wormed and will be micro chipped, neutered and have their first vaccination, before adoption. Home checks will be required before the dogs are adopted. There is a standard adoption fee of £150.or a donation for the older dogs.If you think you could offer a loving home to one of these animals please contact us.

Otto is a young Boxer cross. He is a big boy with lots of love to give! He is good to walk on and off lead and knows the basic commands. Otto is ok with other dogs but does have a fear of being attacked, due to past experiences, so would be happier as the only dog. He walks well with other dogs and is starting to relax and want to play with them, but still gets anxious if confronted with a dog showing aggression. His great passion is mouse hunting in the fields, he could spend hours trying to seek them out. Of course he doesn't ever catch or harm any mice, but he still loves to try to find them! Otto is looking for a home with experience of large breeds, and because of his size, a home with older children. Otto is a real treasure and a pleasure to be around.

This is Chief a stunning 16 month old Rottweiler who loves everyone and everything he has met in his life (except for being a bit scared of the cat he currently shares his home - she is the boss!). He is a small to medium rottweiler with a full tail and a wonderful temperament, he is being rehomed through absolutely no fault of his own. He has lived with children and cats and gets on well with other dogs. He loves people and likes nothing more than to sit on your knee for cuddles. Have you got a Chief shaped space in your life? If so he could be the boy for you. He is looking for someone to love him forever and to continue with his training."

COULD YOU LOVE MR DARCY? Handsome, older staffie boy; very gentle; very loving and a real snuggle muffin. Good with other dogs, walks well on his lead but is very timid and unsure about being outside.He has had a bad time somewhere down the line and needs a soulmate to understand him and show him lots of love. Just like the real Mr Darcy; once you see beyond his little facade; there is nothing but unconditional love. He needs someone special to believe in and to believe in him. He's a fabulous, steady little boy and a pleasure to have in your life. Could you be his Miss Elizabeth?
