Sabre – 3 year old female Rottweiler


Sabre is very small 3 year old Rottweiler girl (compared to your average Rottweiler). She is looking for a bit of guidance and training in certain areas, for example, she can react possesively to food and certain toys such as her favourite squashed ball and can be snappy around them. Otherwise she is a very friendly dog 90% of the time, if you get to know Sabre it is easy to tell when she is possibly going to react.

She is not dog friendly and would not be rehomed in a home where children are present. The ideal owner would be someone who has experience with difficult dogs. We feel most of her behaviour problems stem down to the fact she has been in kennels for a very long time and is not being taught or corrected as much as she should be. Sabre craves attention and would benefit from a firm, energetic owner. She loves to play catch with her squashed football.

As Sabre is constantly stuck in kennels and has shown some problems we do feel this is our only chance and hope at finding her a good quality life and therefore she is in desperate need of a home.

Archie – 15 month old male Rottweiler


Archie is a 15 month old Rottweiler who is desperate to be out of kennels and living life to the full. He is a stunning dog, with a gorgeous face and a wonderful tail. Archie was fairly thin when he first came into the Centre, but he has filled out now and looks the picture of health. He loves to play and loves to give and receive cuddles.

He is completely adored by the kennel staff, and from his pictures I think he likes them too!

He is OK with other dogs. He could live with teenagers and would do best with owners who have previous experience of the breed in order for to fulfil his true potential and allow him to flourish. He is a very intelligent dog and has had basic training.

Archie is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and, although he is in kennels near King’s Lynn in Norfolk, he can be rehomed outside of the county subject to a successful homecheck.

Who could resist this big soft lad. We all look forward to hearing from you.

Phil – 3 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier


Phil is a 3 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier who has been in the care of the Inspectorate for several months now after finding himself in a hazardous and terrifying situation at home-information will be provided by the re-homing coordinator. The Inspector asked if we could take Phil into one of our foster homes and re-home him as he didn’t want Phil to be in the kennels any longer. Phil is a healthy, bright dog but his eyesight is very impaired so is classed as blind; he can see shapes and movement. He is fully vaccinated, micro chipped and castrated.

Phil is a very chunky traditional Staffy, absolutely gorgeous and so very cuddly; he is a very friendly and affectionate boy. He copes with his disability extremely well. You don’t need blind dog experience (although that would be the ideal!) as Phil’s fosterer has never had a blind dog and she’s not had any problems at all, in fact she said out of all the dogs she’s fostered Phil has been the easiest!

Initially he bumped into things, then once he knew where everything was bingo!

Phil is looking for an understanding owner who will give him the time to settle into his new environment and gain his trust. He isn’t keen interacting with other dogs. He needs a home without too many obstacles where there are no major roads nearby; he wouldn’t suit a built up urban area.

Phil needs to be the only pet, we’d consider a home with older children who respect the fact that Phil is blind,
a calm environment is ideal.

He absolutely loves his cuddles and tummy rubs, he’s a very affectionate Staffy, he sometimes does a Staffy growl to get your attention and will nudge you big time for some love; so typical of the breed.

His fosterer has been playing various games especially designed for blind dogs which he loves and he’s very quickly learnt to ‘roll over’ on command as the video shows.

His party trick is that he can open doors so you may wake up with him sharing your bed of a morning! So please don’t let his blindness put you off, he is a lovely snugly dog with so much love to give.

What the Inspector has to say about Phil:

“Phil is ace, really friendly. He is lovely; the staff at the kennels loved him, he was a favourite and a pleasure to have around. He’s one of my all time favourites.” Phil deserves a bit of extra attention and is looking for a very special person to offer him a new home – is that you?

Fritz – 5 year old male Terrier Cross


Fritz is a 5 year old medium to large Terrier cross. He has now been kennelled with us since April 2009 and we think he has been overlooked as he is such a big dog. He’s a really lovely fawn and white colouring and similar markings to a Boxer (may even be some Boxer in his blood as he’s a similar build). Fritz is a really happy friendly lad.

He’s always very happy to see you with a waggy tail. As he’s been with us for so long he’s always so pleased and excited to get out of his kennel and is torn between going off and exploring the smells, having a good run around and enjoying a cuddle. Fritz will need to be rehomed as the only dog in the household. We cannot fault this boy. He’s fantastic. Can anyone out there offer this long term a forever home and make our day and his life?

Currently kennelled at Treswell in Nottinghamshire, please ring the number above to find out more.

Oscar – 3 year old male English Bull Terrier cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier


Oscar is a medium sized 3 year old male English Bull Terrier cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He is full vaccinated and ready to go to a new home.  He is not too keen on other animals and must be rehomed as the only dog.  He has good recall and reasonable on the lead once he’s burnt off that first bit of energy after being stuck in a kennel all day.

He’s been in kennels for 1 year now so it’s time this guy found himself a new home.  He’s delightfully playful and just watch that tail go!

A dog who is full of energy and will need a reasonable amount of exercise to channel all that energy.  Another fab little cross needing a home.

Currently kennelled in Nottinghamshire please call Louise on 0754 6594296 to arrange an appointment. Donations are required and appointments are necessary to ensure the dog is still there. Mon to Sat 10am – 6pm. Sun 10am – 4pm.
