Tumtus – 2 year old male Labrador cross English Pointer
This is Tumtus (named over The Chronicles of Narnia) who is approximately 2 years old and we believe is a Labrador cross with an English Pointer. He is of medium build, is fine with other dogs and unfortunately does have a dislike of cats. He will be vaccinated and microchipped. The type of home we are looking for is children of 12 years and over and where Tumtus would be the only dog as this is what he prefers. He seems very affectionate.
Finn – 1 1/2-2 year old male Labrador cross German Shepherd Dog
Finn is approx 1 1/2-2 year old yellow Labrador cross we believe with a German Shephard. Unfortunately he came into us as a stray as he was never reclaimed. He is vaccinated and microchipped. He will need to be rehomed to a home of children 12 years and over. He is a very strong lad, so will need an experienced home, but is extremely loveable. He is also castrated.
Taffy – 3 year old male Labrador Retriever
This is Taffy a 3 year old male Labrador Retriever. Unfortunately Taffy has recently had a tough time. Unfortunately Taffy has not been socialised very well around other dogs so he will pick and choose who he wants to be friends with. He has a wonderful temperant and all he wants to do is give you lots of kisses and cuddles.
As you can see by the photo’s, Taffy does not really have too much of a tail. Since he has been with us he has had to have two operations of his tail, to remove parts of it. This is healing very nicely now but we desperately what to get him either into a foster home or a permanent home. He will require an experienced home as he is very strong and someone who has alot of patience who can distract him from biting his tail. Taffy is currently living in a foster home with another dog and is doing very well. Taffy is castrated.

My name is Buster, I am a 7 year old Labrador Retriever and a very handsome Chocolate boy. I am castrated, vaccinated and micro-chipped. Unfortunately I have been in kennels for such a long time. I originally came in with my brother and he has since been rehomed.

I am very bouncy and strong on the lead but just give me that chance I need. Unfortunately I am looking for a home with children of 15 years and over and do need to be the only dog in the household and I love all the attention.

My name is Benson and I am approx 9 years old, I am a lively boy for my age so therefore would suit a home where there was older children of 12 years +. I am, what they call, a typical working type Labrador and very fit for my age.

I have lived with a cat but did enjoying chasing it and having a game. I am very playful and strong (as Labradors are) but I love to ‘talk’ to people and enjoy my energetic walks. I am very loving and will even lean on you for attention!

This is Barney. He is 1 year old and is a yellow Labrador Cross. Unfortunately he was found straying in a large park and never claimed and was saved from being PTS. He is a Labrador sized chap who is very friendly and steady with good manners. He is castrated and is fantastic with other dogs. Unfortunately this poor lad has a sore leg but if you can give this lovely boy a loving home then please contact us.

Lulu – 5 year old female Labrador
Lulu is a 5 year old female Labrador, unfortunately Lulu has been with us for a very long time and has spent the time in kennels. She will shortly be going into a foster home. Recently she was diagnosed with a slipping patella, the knee joint pops in and out.
This can causes her some discomfort in a slight limp but we have been informed by the vet that at the moment there is not a need for her to be operated on.
Currently she leads a normal life she is great with other dogs, she is strong on the lead but this is of course due to her limited excercise. She is good with children but unfortunately we are unaware what she is like with cats etc.
27Mar2008 | Labrador Rescue South East and Central | READ MOREHugo – 11 month old male Labrador
Hugo 11 month old black Labrador male. Hugo is a lovely pup, very bouncy and overweight. He comes from working lines, hence his hyper behaviour. He broke his leg just before Christmas and it is pinned in two places. He has recovered well and signed off by the vet. He has no limp and uses the leg normally. I have looked at it very carefully, and can see nothing untoward in his use of it.
I would anticipate it causing him no trouble, although obviously arthritis may be a problem in old age. He is exercised fully with their other dog. He will need ongoing training as the owners have really let this lapse. He is being rehomed as his owners had two 11 month old dogs in a small house and work a lot.
The dogs are competing for attention and ultimately top dog position as they mature. They have made the decision to rehome Hugo who is the more boisterous of the two.
The type of home we’re looking to place Hugo in is an active home due to his lineage. Observing him I could tell he is a very intelligent dog who likes to be on the go and occupied. He has not lived with children as the owners children are grown up.
He behaves well around children, although slightly wary of very small ones, purely as he has had no contact with them. He would suit a home where he is the only dog due to his leg but would be suitable for an older bitch who could tolerate his boisterous.

This is Honey, she is an 8 1/2 year old yellow Labrador female. She is good with other dogs and is great with children.
She does unfortunately have a problem with her eyesight. As her eyesight is cloudy she is unsure in the dark as she cannot recognise some things.
She is very good with other dogs, doesn’t pull on the lead. Very apprehensive of going for walks, but once carried/dragged out she trots along quite happily in bursts, but will sit down and refuse to move if she thinks she wants to go home! Not a lively lady.
She is now eating well, but is very unsure on laminate/tiled floors, her poor little body freezes and she will avoid them at all costs. Foster carer has put rugs down in her kitchen, so she can get some purchase with her paws. Apparently she is realy enjoying the love and affection she is getting, she lays her head on your lap and gazes up at you – what a sweetheart.
This lady just wants a quiet home, with tons of love, she’s not bothered about long walks – she will return this love ten fold. The type of home we are looking for will offer a very patient, loving home. NO small children who would run around and unsettle her, although she is great with them.
Ideally a couple who would devote their time to her, maybe another elderly steady dog who could show her how to enjoy life again.
