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.
LUDO - 5 YEARS *** NEEDS A CALM, CONFIDENT RESIDENT DOG ***
The lovely LUDO is in foster in Tamworth, Staffordshire. Foster mum says he is a pleasure to have around, such a gentle soul, who will need some time to adjust and gain trust in his adoptive home. After a few weeks in foster, he is just starting to try and play, but still a little unsure. He has a few quirky ways which are amusing; gathers up all the dog beds, blankets, throws off the settee and carries them to another room - no damage, just a gathering! He is happy to share food and comes for a cuddle on his terms, but also likes his own quiet space as well. Walks well on lead, but can pull a little at the beginning of the walk. Loves to be off investigating, comes back but in his own time. Not tested with children, but there has been a visiting baby in the home for a few days and he was very respectful.
He is housetrained, happy to meet other dogs whilst out and about and can be left for 3 hours with resident dogs with no issues. LUDO has mastered “sit” and “come” and jumps straight in the car, then travels well.
LUDO, although friendly and likes a fuss, is still very unsure and will drop to the floor with any sudden movement. He also takes himself off to bed away from everyone and checks in when he wants too. He will need time and patience to build up his confidence. Quite clearly he has not had a good start in life in Spain - he is missing a few teeth, that we believe have been knocked out.
He will make a lovely family pet once settled and will be loyal and loving. He just needs time and patience and a gentle approach. LUDO is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatment and a Spanish Passport.
SIMBA - 9 months *** NEEDS ANOTHER PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOG ***
SIMBA is in foster in Loughborough, Leicestershire. Just a youngster abandoned in Spain that has been in foster for 3 weeks and settled on day one. Foster mum says he is a very handsome boy! Very sociable with both dogs and people alike in a puppy like manner, so foster mum is trying to teach boundaries, ongoing training will be needed in his new home. A home with another young resident dog would be recommended as Simba loves company. He enjoys playing bitey face and doing zoomies around the garden with the foster families resident dogs. He’s quite partial to his little rugby ball - it’s his favourite.
Typical puppy he can get overexcited on occasions, so older children in the adoptive family will be required. He loves to run, but his gangly legs means he falls over them at times - he does make people laugh with his joyous antics. Housetraining is progressing very well it has greatly improved since he arrived. Simba is dry during the day, but must be encouraged to go outside at regular intervals.
SIMBA settles well at night and sleeps in the kitchen with resident dogs with no issues. Loves his food and is treat led (very helpful for ongoing training). Has only been off lead in a secure field, but comes back when called. He even decides to come back to check in, when not asked which is very good for such a young boy. Lead walking fairly good, can pull at times so some training required in this area. He loves to sniff so it’s nose to the ground and off we go. Might enjoy scent work. Travels very well in the car and has already been on public transport, where he behaved exceptionally.
He has also been in a restaurant and again behaved very well. Has met children over the age of 10 where he exhibited usual puppy behaviour, jumping up, hence the need for older children in the adoptive family. Has not been cat tested, so a home with no cats might be a consideration. SIMBA does have a bit of a separation issue when foster mum leaves so continued work may be needed in this area, leaving him regularly for short periods of time from the outset. At the end of the day when his energy is spent, he loves curling up next to you on the sofa. This little boy has great potential, he is very quick to learn and needs a loving home with a family that are used to puppy behaviour and invest in further training for Simba thus enabling him to blossom, grow and become a vital family member.
SIMBA is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatments and a Spanish Passport.
ERNIE - 2 YEARS *** RESERVED ***
ERNIE has a very splendid floofy tail and in foster near Grantham, Lincolnshire. He came over from Spain as a pup and was adopted, but returned to us due to issues with children, so we are looking for a home without any children or visiting children; we think the noise and commotion unsettles him. He is extremely loving and loves to hurtle around the garden and play. He is living with resident and foster dogs with no issues, but can be protective over toys, so an older dog or as an only resident dog with experienced owners to carry on his training, would be ideal.
ERNIE would appreciate a quieter home in a rural location to be introduced to new dogs in a friendly and relaxed manner. He does have a look of worry on his face when he sees them! He is living with cats and has no issues with them. Housetrained and sleeps well in the kitchen at night cuddled up with his soft toys. Happy in the house and will happily watch his foster mum hoover (a twice daily event) or try and assist!! He is quite a strong boy on a lead, but learning to walk on his harness in a respectful manner. He can be left for a couple of hours during the day with no issues.
ERNIE is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated and had recent parasite treatments.
POPPY - 9 YEARS *** RESERVED ***
POPPY is a 9 year old breton cross that has come to us due to an owner's ill health in the UK. She is in foster near Lincoln, Lincolnshire and has been described "the most loving dog that the fosterers have ever had the privilege to live with". Loves her cuddles, walks and food. She loves the woods, fascinated by the neighbourhood ducks, but needs recall work!
She is living with 2 other resident dogs and whilst there is harmony with one, the other resident dog has taken a dislike to POPPY, so we feel maybe a home as an only dog would work for POPPY. A home without cats too! A quieter home with a retired person/couple would suit her down to the ground. She is in the progress of losing some much needed weight, but building up her walking stamina, so don’t be fooled by her age!
She is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed and ready for a sofa to be cuddled by her new family.
