DOGS NEEDING HOMES

All our rescues are microchipped, vaccinated, neutered (age appropriate) and will have had recent flea/tick/worming treatment. Please complete an application form via the website.

The rescues below have been assessed in UK foster homes, but we will have many more waiting to come on the website after their assessment period in foster homes, so please, keep checking in.

CASIUS - 7 YEARS *** QUIETER, OLDER RESIDENT DOG/ONLY DOG ***

LONG TERM FOSTERER NEEDED

CASIUS is in foster in Malvern, Herefordshire. Foster mum says he is a very loyal and loving dog who needs time and patience to adjust and gain trust in his adoptive home. CASIUS can be a little nervous at first meetings with people and his coping method is to back away and make himself small. He has clearly not had a great life in Spain. He will remain curious and likes to make the first move for fuss and affection. It’s important that Casius has his safe place to retreat to for his quiet time.

He is playful, loves relocating his soft toys, trotting around with them in his mouth. He gets on well with other dogs, he has a particular friend, who is an older female retriever that he has play-dates with. The resident dog is quite a lively and barky Sprocker, which sometimes makes Casius nervous so a quieter calmer dog would be ideal or possibly and only dog. He is quite a strong boy at 20 kgs. Due to a diagnosis of hip displaysia and a Grade II heart murmur (mild and hopefully won’t cause any issues going forward), he will be looking for a long term foster home. It will be managed with pain relief as needed, but he won’t need extensive walks. A good sized garden would be ideal. He is currently having 30 mins walks x 2 per day, but also loves to run free in an enclosed paddock, his recall training is going well.

CASIUS is housetrained, sleeps well through the night, jumps into the car with treats, and can be left for up to 3 hours. Loves his food generally. He is very well behaved when visiting the vets. He will make a very loyal and loving companion once settled. He just needs time, patience, routine and a gentle approach.

He is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatment and a Spanish Passport.

LUKA - 4 YEARS *** NEEDS ANOTHER PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOG ***

LUKA was abandoned in Spain (we presume an ex-hunting dog). He has coped really well living in a home for the first time. He is currently in a foster home near Sleaford, Lincolnshire. Generally around the home he’s a good boy. Will steal food if the opportunity arises. Sleeps all night and clean and gives foster mum a great welcome when she comes down in the morning. Extremely affectionate. Would love to be lap dog! Happy to help round the home (as you can see from the fourth photo!). Lead training in the garden or secure field is coming on, but outside where he is anxious all is forgotten, so foster mum is working together with a dog trainer. Loud, rattling noises seem to be a trigger (fireworks, trailer behind a van etc).

Loves meeting new people and interactions are good, but he wants to jump up and cuddle or will cower when people bend over him. Loves being with the fosterer’s resident dogs - he loves to play and is learning to gain confidence from watching them in various situations. He will need another playful, confident resident dog in his adoptive home. Not been cat tested, so no to resident cats in adoptive home.

This boy is the sweetest, most loving and desperate for love breton, but he is going to need months to start cope with the outside world and it will be a slow process. With this in mind, we are looking for a quiet, rural location for him (no busy roads or excessive noise) with a family who are experienced with a scared dog and are willing to work with him at his own speed going forward. Teenage children in the adoptive home and above, so he is not coping with small children and their screaming!

LUKA is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatments and a Spanish Passport.

CALVIN - 4 YEARS *** NEEDS A CALM, QUIETER RESIDENT DOG ***

CALVIN, we will be brutally honest, is a medium mixed breed of unknown quantities, but is 100% gorgeous! He is in foster in Chippenham, Wiltshire. He was one of 80 dogs rescued from a Spanish perrera that was closing with no options for it’s occupants, other than to be put to sleep. He’d been in the perrera for quite a while with no bedding, decent food or any human interaction, so for him to arrive into a UK foster home and settle so well is a great indicator to his temperament.

Words from his foster mum, “Calvin is a really lovely boy. He loves to have belly rubs and will roll over to ask for one. He’s very sweet”. He has been living with a resident dog, teenagers and chickens in the garden (although I believe there was an incident whereby he carried said chicken to a new location!). He can get anxious around other dogs when out on a walk and this will need further work with a calm and relaxed adopter, who will introduce him to good experiences when meeting new dogs. We would love to see him in a home with another calm, maybe older dog, so he can learn from their reactions to new situations.

CALVIN is housetrained and has been left for a couple of hours with no incident, he just settles on his bed and sleeps. Happy to eat, share toys and chews with the resident dog and instantly friendly when meeting new people.

He is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated and parasite treated and has a Spanish Passport.

NORMA - 3 YEARS *** NEEDS ANOTHER RESIDENT DOG/CAT FRIENDLY ***

NORMA, beautiful breton, is in foster in Sunderland and ready for her forever home. Foster mum says she is such a gentle dog, happy snoozing and lounging, but also loves playing her favourite game of fetch. She retrieves and places her ball at your feet and waits patiently for you to throw it again! When she first arrived, she was experiencing everything for the first time and was genuinely excited by each new experience. She loves people and is such a loving friendly dog, she instantly made herself at home, found her dog bed and her toys.

NORMA is house trained, but can have a little excitement wee when meeting people. When on lead, if she sees another dog she will get excited and bark, but is happy and settled with the 2 resident dogs. She is often trying to get them to play with her, being slightly older, not overly keen, so she has had to settle playing with 2 of the resident cats! She learns quickly and knows which cats to play with and which cats won’t tolerate dogs. Due to her playful nature, a playful resident will be needed, which will also help her to learn and settle into family life.

She is happy being groomed, picked up and cuddled and instantly friendly when meeting new people. She has been left for a couple of hours and happy to be in a designated room whilst left, so she can snuggle down with her toys and stash of socks!

NORMA is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, had recent parasite treatments and has a Spanish Passport.

mycroft - 2 MONTHS

MYCROFT came under our wing because he was an unwanted pup. We are just so grateful for a foster home in Spain so we can get him prepared for a UK transport mid December. Mum was a show cocker and Dad a breton.

The special family chosen for MYCROFT will need another neutered resident dog, someone be around at least half of each day, if children present in the home, over the age of 8 years, have a secure garden with some grass and the most important part be prepared to have the patience required, consistency of training for the next 6 months plus, enroll in puppy classes and be aware that puppies are hard work.

In return you will have a fabulous cocker/breton cross companion who will be fully vaccinated, microchipped, parasite treated and arrive at your home 12th/13th December with a Spanish Passport at 15 weeks of age. He will be adopted on a contract to castrate before the age of 18 months. Be ware that breton’s are a hunting breed; whilst they are very intelligent, eager to please, they can be high energy and require mental as well as physical stimulation.

LAYKA - 8 YEARS ***happier as an only dog ***

LAYKA is in foster near Grantham, Lincolnshire and just the sweetest, calmest and loving breton you could hope to meet. She adores people and will sit by your side for hours in the hope of a stroke. She came over from Spain after her owner died and no-one was prepared to look after her. She is living with other dogs and cats and happy around all of them. She will have a play with the youngsters in the family, but can be protective of her teddies. She loves having a pile of soft toys on the bed with her and will take them outside for a gentle nibble on their ears!

She is house trained and sleeps in the kitchen at night with no issues and has been left for a couple of hours in the home. She loves her food and treats (which she takes very gently). Getting used to going for a walk on a harness and lead (she has had years of no lead walks), but she has great recall, knows her name and loves running with the gang off lead in the woods.

LAYKA is a very gentle soul who would like someone around most of the day for her to cuddle up with or explore rural walks with. She would prefer older children in the household (if any), happy to live with cats and will be the most adorable companion you could hope to adopt.

She is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, had recent parasite treatments and has a Spanish Passport.
