Ollie – 8 year old male Labrador cross
Ollie (ref no 187) is an 8 year old Labrador cross who arrived at the shelter in May when his previous owner had to move into no pet accommodation due to ill health. Ollie doesn’t deserve to be back here at his age. He’s a lovely boy who is very friendly and just needs a quiet home in his twilight years.
He’s used to an easy life and loves his food so his weight needs to be watched. Ollie likes lots of attention. He is looking for an adult only household because he is not used to children at all as he’s never mixed with them. He would be best suited as the only pet in the home.
Jessie – 7 year old female Border Collie cross Australian Cattle Dog
Jessie (ref no 186) is a 7 year old Border Collie cross Australian Cattle Dog who arrived at the shelter in April. Jessie is a complex character who is looking for an experienced owner. She is very loyal and trainable but does have strong instincts and will not cope with too much over handling.
She will need lots of exercise and mental stimulation. She is looking for an adult only household, she can be stressed easily by activity, she would also be best suited as the only pet in the home. Experience of herding dog required due to strong instincts.
Crystal – 5 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross
Crystal (ref no 199) is a 5 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross who arrived at the shelter in May following a domestic split. Poor Crystal is delightful and we’re so sad that she keeps coming back to us. She forms close attachments and never forgets someone she trusts, so will make a loving companion. She is wary of rough or quick handling so needs love and kindness.
Not used to children and doesn’t like being pulled about. Children should be gentle and be involved in training her. She would be best suited as the only pet in the home. She is okay with other dogs when out on walks. She is not good with other cats. Can be left in a crate for two hours.
Sasha – 8 year old female Greyhound
Sasha (ref no 170) is an 8 year old female Greyhound who arrived at the shelter in April. Sasha is a lovely placid dog with people. She is very loving and excellent to handle and groom. She can be a bit unsettled and whingy in new situations but would suit a calm home with lots of attention. Has strong chase drive.
She can be rehomed with calm children who will respect her. She gets on well with other Greyhounds but can be intolerant of other breeds and small dogs. She’s also not very good with cats. Sighthound experience recommended as Sasha is quite a chaser.

Billy (ref no 94) is a one year old Border Collie cross Rottweiler who arrived at the shelter in February due to a family allergy. Billy is wary and shy in his kennel but once out he’s a true star and really comes alive. Billy is great fun and very sociable, especially with other dogs.
He tends to mouth when excited and in a home can become possessive over stolen items. Needs a confident owner. Billy can be rehomed with children 12 years + and is good with dogs. Billy cannot be rehomed with cats. Large breed experience recommended.
Barney – 6 year old male Jack Russell Terrier
Barney (ref no 105) is a 6 year old Jack Russell Terrier male who arrived at the shelter in March because he was not good with the young baby. Cheeky Barney is active and friendly but can be headstrong. He is a dog who needs to respect you so will walk all over someone meek and needs confident but kind handling.
Barney doesn’t like too much ‘hands on’ roughing and can get mouthy. Barney can be rehomed with children 10 years + but not with other animals. He can be snappy with dogs. Jack Russell Terrier experience recommended.

Tess (ref no 133) is a 2 year old Whippet cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier who arrived at the shelter in March due to her previous owners working long hours. Tess is quite skittish and highly strung and just crying out for a calm home where there’ll be lots of time for her.
She can get excited easily and needs further training. Tess is a fearful dog so will require time to settle and trust you. Tess can be rehomed with children over 10 years old but must be the only pet. Experience of a sensitive dog recommended.

Rooney (ref no 148) is a 2 year old Dalmatian cross Labrador male who arrived at the shelter in April as his previous owner wasn’t coping. Rooney is DEAF. He is extremely energetic and bouncy and easily frustrated so will be a project for someone who has plenty of time. Rooney has a bad mouthing habit which will need correcting. He works well for food and hand signals but gets very excitable over toys. Strong chase instinct.
Rooney is powerful and mouths hard. Children need to be extremely robust and not over excite him. He is okay with most dogs but would be best suited in a cat free home. Due to Rooney’s deafness and boisterous nature, we recommend having had a large bouncy or deaf dog before.
Breezer – 4 year old female Rottweiler
Breezer (ref 151) is a 4 year old Rottweiler female who arrived at the shelter in April when her owner became homeless. Breezer is sensitive and forms close bonds to people she knows. She can bark a bit at strangers and can be hand shy around her head. Breezer needs someone who is calm and easy going and has plenty of time to spend with her. She can get excited easily so needs sensible handling.
Too sensitive for rough handling. Children should know not to give eye contact and be mature enough to be involved in her training. She would be best suited as the only pet in the home. She doesn’t get on too well with other cats but is fine with other dogs when out walking. Breed experience recommended.
11Aug2008 | The Stubbington Ark Animal Shelter Fareham Hampshire | READ MOREPatch – 9 year old male Jack Russell Terrier
Patch (ref no 154) is a 9 year old Jack Russell Terrier male who arrived at the shelter in April when his owner was hospitalised. Patch has been a traveller’s dog and is very companionable. He is quite relaxed with people but can be choosy with other dogs and especially loves to hunt so will not be safe with small animals. Patch would like a quiet home where he will get his own space.
Children should appreciate Patch’s need for space and his slight head shyness. He would be best suited as the only pet in the home as he doesn’t get on too well with other small animals or cats and is a bit hit or miss with other dogs. Experience of Terriers recommended.
