Ruby – 15 month old female Collie cross Terrier

Ruby is a 15 month old female Collie cross Terrier who has come into care because of her owner’s ailing health. She is an extremely lively young girl who enjoys the company of other dogs and running after a ball. Ruby is house and crate trained and has recently learned to sit on her bed when the doorbell rings. She is a very friendly dog who would benefit from a family home with or without children (over the age of 5) where she can feel involved and part of the family.

Ruby has a medium length coat that needs regular grooming to avoid matting. Being a high energy breed and a very affectionate dog, Ruby will need experienced owners who have the time to give her the exercise, discipline and attention she needs on a daily basis. If you would like to offer Ruby a permanent home please call 07853 892884.

Sky – 8 month old female Border Collie

Sky is an 8 month old female Border Collie who came into care because of her owner’s ill health. She is a very lively girl who loves her ball and will require routine daily exercise to meet the needs of her breed and age. Sky is very wary of meeting new people, especially men so any potential owners will need to work on her confidence and give her the time she needs to adjust to new situations and to feel comfortable. She is house trained, crate trained and walks well on the lead. Sky likes children and gets on well with other dogs but does not enjoy the company of cats. The ideal home for Sky is one with experienced owners who have the time to exercise her thoroughly, work on her confidence and have the patience to work on her current nervous state of mind. Should you wish to offer Sky a permanent home please call 07853 892 884.

Rocky – 10 month old male Lurcher cross Greyhound

Rocky is a 10 month old Lurcher/Greyhound mix who is described by his foster carer as having a beautiful nature. He came into care through no fault of his own and is looking for new owners that are prepared to exercise him daily to meet the needs of this high energy breed. Rocky has excellent recall, he is crate and house trained and is a very intelligent dog. He has just entered puberty so may push some boundaries but he has been very responsive to guidance since being in foster care and is learning all the time. Rocky gets on well with children but would be better suited to older children in a forever family.

Gucci and Lily – 3 year old female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and 18 month old male Chihuahua

Lily (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) and Gucci (Chihuahua) recently came into the branch for re-homing as their owner had died. Lily is approximately 3 years old and Gucci is about 18 months. Unfortunately Gucci had an accident when a very young puppy and suffered a broken leg which had to be amputated. This does not prevent him from racing around chasing Lily (or any other dog who will play with him). Both are very well behaved and get on well with other dogs, are happy to travel in a car and enjoy being around people. We would ideally like to re-home the two dogs together. Gucci and Lilly would be more suitable to a home with no or older children who are less likely to race around and accidentally step on them.

If you think you would be able to offer these two a new home please call 07853 892884.
