Smithy – 2 year old male English Bull Terrier Cross

This handsome boy is Smithy, he is a 2 year old male English Bull Terrier Cross. Smithy came to us via another rescue centre as a stray, so unfortunately we have no previous history about him. He responds well to calm consistent handling and his training is progressing well. Smithy will however need experienced dog owners to enable him to reach his full potential. He is suitable to live with older mature children that are able to adapt to his training requirements. He is currently unsuitable to live with cats as he is too fixated on them at present. He is also being assessed around other dogs daily.

Marley – 1 year old male Cross-Breed

Marley is a 1 year old male Cross-Breed with some hound and mastiff in him. Marley came to the centre as a stray so unfortunately we have no previous history if he has lived in a home or not. Marley would be best suited as an only dog although we would consider homing him with another dog, providing the home has sufficient experience with adolescent dogs.

He is suitable to live with “hands on” confident children aged 14 years and over who are used to handling dogs and are willing to participate in his training. Marley is super affectionate & loves a good back scratch. He will need to attend training classes on a regular basis as he needs to learn how to control his excitement with both dogs & people. He knows most basic commands but sometimes chooses to forget them just to test his handler!!

Jake – 5 year old male German Shepherd Dog

Jake is a lovely 5 year old neutered German Shepherd Dog. Jake is being re-homed due to a marriage split. Jake is a very big powerful dog who would need to go to a home with GSD experience. Jake is currently living with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier with no problems, we feel that Jake could live with another laid back dog if carefully introduced. Jake is living with cats but owner says that he does not get on with strange cats outside the home. He is fine with women and children, although he can be a bit wary of men. Jake has not really been let of the lead much and will bark at other dogs when out, we think that this could be overcome with training.

Jake is currently living with the owners ex-wife, and she says that he doesn’t take a lot of notice of her when she gives him commands, she says that Jake basically was her husbands dog, and she really has not had much to do with Jake and his training. We are further assessing Jake, but if you can offer this lad a foster/permanent home please contact us. We will re-home Jake with older children only.

Bentley – 11 month old male American Bulldog

Bentley is a smaller-than-average American Bulldog puppy 11 months old. This splendid dog has an absolutely super temperament, he loves everyone he meets and wants to cuddle up to you whilst you watch TV. He has been brought up from a puppy living with 2 young children and really loves them, although now that he is growing up into a big powerful dog he is rather too boisterous for young children. He is very playful, he is very happy as long as he has lots of toys and chews. Bentley is dog friendly and just wants to play and run about madly. Being a heavy lad, he is too boisterous for slender dogs like greyhounds but loves playing with the heavier types such as Rottweilers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Boxers, Labradors.

He will need a lot of exercise, he pulls strongly on the lead and is good off lead. Bentley is well behaved in the house, he is house trained, sleeps in the kitchen quietly at night and can be left a few hours if given enough exercise. Bentley needs a lot of attention, exercise, play and love. We strongly recommend the new owner employs a professional trainer who uses Positive, Reward Based training methods. Bentley is being rehomed as a family pet but no young children please, and we are looking for someone who will now give him the commitment of a forever home. He must be housed indoors not outside in a kennel. The garden needs a very high secure fence or he can escape. Bentley will reward his owners with tons of love and affection.
