Merlin, Whippet/Bedlington Terrier, About 5 years old
Hi there, I’m Merlin! I’m an absolute sweetheart looking for my new forever home. I’m quite timid at the moment as I’m still getting used to my new surroundings. I’m looking for someone who has had experience of owning dogs, in a quiet home who will continue to build my confidence and trust and offer me lots of kind words and love. It has been recommended that I attend weekly training classes so I can learn the basics and form a special bond with my new owner. I must be the only pet in my new home so I can get plenty of attention for myself! I would love an owner who is home for most of the day as I can get a little stressed when left on my own, and I can live with children of senior school age and above. With the right owner and a loving home, I’ll be a loyal companion and friend. REF: 034H

Beau, Dogue de Bordeaux, about 1 year old
Hey, I’m Beau. I’m a sweet guy once I have gotten to know and trust you. I’m a little wary of new people but I am getting so much better day by day as I am gaining confidence. When I had a little adventure into reception, I was absolutely loving all the fuss and treats I was getting! I’m super affectionate and love my long walks and a good game of football! I must go to an owner with experience of Mastiff breeds and to an adult only home until I gain more confidence. I’ll need an active home as I’m a big boy who will need plenty of exercise and play! My new owner will need to continue to help build my confidence and take me to weekly training classes. I am to be the only dog in my new home. I adore people but I’m not sure how to feel about some dogs, for this reason I will also need to be on a lead at all times in public. With the right home, I will be a loyal friend and companion.

Roly, Poodle Cross, about 1 year old
Hi there, I’m Roly! I’m a friendly, excitable, playful young boy looking for my new forever home. I’m very sociable with people and other dogs and will come straight up to you to say hello! Although I’m friendly with other dogs, due to my excitable behaviour I am to be the only pet in my new home. I’m such a busy boy, I love to be out and about in the great outdoors and running off lead (in a secure area) everything just seems so much fun! I’ll need to attend training classes and have strict house rules so I can form a special bond with my new owner and be the best dog possible. I’m looking for an experienced dog owner with a very active lifestyle who is prepared to put the work in. I’ll need an adult only home so I get the focused one-to-one training I need. With the right owner and training, I’ll be a super addition to a family home. REF: 979H

Benji, Jack Russell Terrier Cross, about 8 years old
Hi there, I’m Benji! I’m a lovely boy looking for my new forever home. I’m a real sweetheart, I love nothing more than going on lots of adventures then curling up for a cuddle with my human pals. I’ve been told I’m a clever boy, I walk beautifully on my lead and I love to play fetch, I’ll even bring my favourite squeaky toy back to you! My new owner will need to have some experience of owning a dog to build my confidence. It has been recommended that I attend weekly training classes so I can be the best dog possible. I’m always happy to say hello to other dogs so I could possibly live with another female canine friend as long as we get on when we meet. I can live with children of senior school age and above but am fine with children of any age visiting as long as we are supervised at all times. With the right owner and a loving home, I’ll be a super friend to have around. REF: 035H

Zeus, Black Labrador, about 1 year old
Hi there, I’m Zeus! I’m a handsome, energetic young boy looking for my new forever home. It has taken me a little while to adjust to my new surroundings but with lots of love and training, I’ve become a real pleasure to work with. My affectionate side has started to shine through and I’m happy to approach people for some fuss, I can get a little silly sometimes when I get too excited! Whilst out and about on my daily walks I’ve been happy to say hello to other dogs (especially the ladies) so I could possibly live with a female canine friend as long as we get on when we meet. I’m looking for an experienced dog owner (preferably experience owning labs), with an active lifestyle who will have the time to take me out on lots of exciting adventures and play with me…I LOVE to play ball games! It has been recommended that I attend weekly training classes so I can improve on what I already know and become the best dog possible. I can live with children of senior school age and above. With the right owner and training, I’ll be a loyal companion and super friend. REF: 011H

Jack, Border Collie, about 1 year old
Hi there, I’m Jack! I’m a lovely young boy looking for my new forever home. I’m extremely clever and full of energy so my owner will need to have plenty of time to keep me mentally and physically stimulated. As you can imagine, being a Collie, I am very lively so I will need an owner who is very active themselves. I would ideally need a rural or farm environment. I’m extremely curious and love to learn new things so training classes are highly recommended. As much as I love people and having a fuss, I do not feel the same about other dogs and can be reactive. For this reason, I will need to stay on my gencon lead at all times when out and about in public. I’m looking for an owner with experience of owning border collies with a very active lifestyle and it would be great if I had the space to run freely in a secure area and play my favourite game…fetch! I can live with children of senior school age and above as long as we get on when we meet. With the right owner and training, I will be a loyal companion and great friend. REF: 889H
