Dogs Available for Adoption
These adorable pups (yes, we call them all pups... because they finally get a chance to live the carefree life of puppies when they come to us) are available for adoption. If you are interested in giving any of them a loving home, please complete our Adoption Application.
Once we receive your application, we will have a chat with you to tell you more about the dog, and to find out more about you and your household. We'll also tell you what the next steps are.
Female
Rhea
1.5 years
She is a 1 1/2 year old chocolate and toffee Pincher weighing just 7kg.
Rhea is living with other dogs but needs to be an only dog purely so she can have all the attention and lots of cuddles and does not have to compete for your attention.
She would be a perfect companion for a retired single lady ( Rhea bonds better with females she is around men and has been known to lay in their lap for cuddles but ideally a female only home is preferred). assessing Rhea to find that perfect home for her.
Rhea has been in a foster home with cats and was not interested at all.
She walks lovely on a lead.
She is a very calm loving girl once the bond has been built up and she realises that you are not going to leave her and give up on her but this will take time.
Rhea needs time , patience and someone who is prepared to invest their time in her let her come to you but once the bond is there then she will reward you with lots of cuddles and love and be a loyal loving companion.
Your adoption comes with 6 weeks free basic Canine Nutrition Advice from your Gotcha date.
Male
Hamilton
13 months
Age 13 months
Weight 20kg
Hamilton was saved from the pound he was just sat quietly in the corner. He loves people and is really just a big puppy as we are guessing he was never allowed to be a puppy before.
He loves the company of other dogs so another playful resident dog would be ideal.
He walks lovely on the lead and is good in the car.
He's housetrained. He has the tendency to chew if not given excercise we have foud ths is just down to boredom. He sleeps through the night no issues. He's good with children 10+. He would suit an active family where he can get lots of excersise with another similar sized dog.

Female
Tess & Millie
10 Years
Millie (Black) & Tess (Black & White) are Shar Pei x Collie sisters who have never been apart so we’d love to find them a home together. We would adjust our normal adoption donation to make this possible and will consider an adoption or long term foster home anywhere in the south of England. Please complete an application form to discuss this further with us.
These lovely girls love a fuss from all the volunteers, enjoy their walks and freedom field adventures. They're telly addicts and between walks will happily spend their time watching their favourite soaps. They're clean indoors and settle well so can be left for periods of time. They are spayed and fully vaccinated.
