Sam – 17 month old male English Springer Spaniel cross Border Collie

Beautiful Sam is a 17 month old English Springer Spaniel cross Border Collie in need of an active home where he can get the exercise, mental stimulation and love that he so craves.

Sam is a really wonderful boy but being a mix of two such active breeds it is understandable that he is full of beans and needs plenty of opportunity to use up his energy in a positive way. Sam needs a minimum of 2 hours walking per day plus agility, obedience or flyball classes would be perfect for Sam and we believe he would very much enjoy them.

Sam is great with other dogs and would really love to have another dog in his forever home so he has someone to play with and to show him the ropes. Sam is also great with children but needs to live with older children only as because he is so active, he can be a little clumsy.

This lovely boy is incredibly affectionate and loves nothing more than a cuddle on the sofa with you but it is very important that his exercise needs are met to keep him the happy boy that we all love so very much.

Sam is on foster in Derby but we home across the UK. He has been neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped.

Teddy – 3 year old male Yorkshire Terrier Cross

Teddy is an adorable 3 year old Yorkshire Terrier cross who is looking for a loving home that is experienced with terriers and can offer him the training to help him develop and blossom as we know he can.

Poor little Teddy has had quite an unsettled life and is in dire need of stability, structure and training. Ideally he’d like to be an only pet so he can get all the attention to himself though he doesn’t mind being with other dogs if they aren’t bouncy and in his face.

Teddy loves to run about and play fetch so needs a home where he’ll get nice long regular walks (and plenty of toys!)

You’ll be pleased to know he hates being dirty so shan’t be wallowing in many muddy puddles! He is quite a possessive little man and needs an owner that is willing to learn about, understand and help train him out of, this behaviour as he has the tendency to become quite possessive over toys and people.

Teddy is a very sweet boy and once he realises you have boundaries, he is a real star. He would be fine to be left for reasonable periods of time if left with an interesting toy.

If you think you could offer Teddy the understanding, loving and committed home he needs then please get in touch and he’ll repay you tenfold with love, devotion and lots of fun! Teddy has been neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped. He is currently waiting in kennels in South Wales for a foster or forever home. We re home across the UK.

Ben – 4 year old male Labrador Cross

Ben is a very sweet 4 year old Labrador cross who has come into us after doing his seven days in the pound as he was found sheltering in an abandoned pub. Ben is looking for a loving and active home. He is a beautiful boy who is underweight but gaining it well. He has been neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped.

Ben is very affectionate and seems to be very pleased to be back in the company of humans. He is very energetic and is keen to run about and play. He does pull on the lead and will need work on this as well as time put into some of his basic training but he is a clever boy and will do well with positive reinforcement.

Ben can live with other dogs and older children. We have not yet been able to fully test him with cats or young children. Ben is currently waiting for a foster or forever home. If you can offer him either then please get in touch. He is currently in South Wales but we home across the UK.

If you feel you can offer Ben the home he deserves, please read our adoption guidelines and procedure;

Rolo – 20 month old female Labrador

Rolo is a absolutely beautiful 20 month old Chocolate Labrador. Rolo is a gorgeous, sweet natured girl that has had far too much change in her short life. It’s hard to believe that a sweet natured chocolate lab bitch of 20 months with no real behavioral issues can have been so unlucky as to have had 7 homes… Sadly her first owner died and she has never been settled any where since. She really has the sweetest nature and loves absolutely everyone, that said, she will alert bark when she hears noises/people outside, then lick them to death when they come in!

Rolo like lots of gun dogs can be a bit oral and likes to have something in her mouth, she did have a bit of a mouthing problem when she arrived in that she would very gently mouth arms and so on (and when I say gently I mean you can barely feel it), however given simple redirection of a toy to carry at times of excitement and her knowing what she ‘is’ supposed to do rather than what she ‘isn’t’ supposed to do – she is not mouthing in her foster home. However it is a default behavior for her and she will do it when over excited or stressed so it may well re-appear when she moves again but as long as you follow the advice that we and Rolo’s fosterer (who is a behaviourist) give you, it is not a problem at all, it is normal young gun dog behavior that just needs direction.

This girl just needs someone to understand that moves for animals are difficult and it can take even the loveliest of animals a while to settle into a new routine. Due to all of the change in her young life, Rolo is in need of a calm and stable home. Someone who is going to be kind and patient with her while she settles. She has been on foster for a couple of months now and has settled so much, but moving on to someone else she will again need time to settle as this will be another change for her. She can be built up to being left for about three/four hours without a problem but she is happiest with company and needs a home with someone around a good bit of the time.

She is very bright and responsive and loves to be doing things with her person – she has been a dream to do training with. Rolo has been doing some basic agility, just building up slowly and she is a natural at it.Her fosterer has also built up some ball drive (though a flyball environment would not be suitable for her, too much going on and too much adrenaline).

She loves play with other dogs, rough and tumble is her favorite. Although she loves her rough and tumble she has got quite good at listening to another dog that she knows about when enough is enough and is polite in her play. There are however some issues with other dogs, in terms of if a dogs she doesn’t know tells her to go away in an over the top manner then she will take it as a threat and react accordingly so care needs to be taken when meeting new dogs, i.e. just asking if the other dog is OK to be met by a friendly bouncy chocolate nut bag – as if the other dog is fine she is fab. She can take telling off just fine from dogs she knows, it really is a confidence thing.

While she is in foster with several other dogs and loves their company and I have no problems with her here, there has been a problem with one dog in one home and due to the fact that she has had so many homes we want to minimize the chance of anything going wrong so have decided to home her as an only dog. She will need some doggie pals to play with out and about though.

She is toilet trained, non destructive (though like previously said, she does know with guidance like to greet with something in her mouth and if nothing is to hand then this could be the food bowl or she has even been found trying to pick up her bed to greet me with, very cute!) All in all a lovely dog that we am desperate to find the right home for as she really is the loveliest dog just needs someone to love forever! If you have any questions at all then please get in touch.

Rolo is on foster in Swindon but we home across the UK. If you’re interested in adopting Rolo, please read our adoption guidelines and procedure;
