Pogo

Pogo is a gorgeous 1 year old beagle.

This little fella is full of beans and just a bundle of fun!

He meets and greet so well with other dogs, and is the most epic player! He will do best in a home with another playful dog to keep him occupied

Pogo is high energy, so will need alot of exercise, plenty of walks and playtime.

He walks well on lead, but can pull when he gets very excited. So his new owners will need to spend some time training.

He will need a home with a secure garden as beagles are prone to following their nose.

He can be homed with children over 8

Long leaving hours will not be suitable for this little lad

Cindy – RESERVED

Cindy is an almost 8 month old Cocker Spaniel whose elderly owner was taken into hospital leaving her with no-one to care for her. Like many Cockers, Cindy has a tendency to guard resources, if there is something in her mouth that you would like back, you may have a little battle on your hands!  Please bear this in mind if offering Cindy a home.

Cindy is immaculately behaved and trained in so many ways.  She is not destructive, she is house-trained and is easy to walk on the lead.  She mixes very well with other dogs.

It is only the resource guarding that people need to be mindful of and to be committed to working on with both patience and firmess!  Because of this behaviour we will not be rehoming Cindy to any home where there are children under 12.  Over the years we have had plenty of dogs surrendered to our rescue due to possession issues with the children so we would like to avoid similar issues with Cindy.

To apply for this little cutie please do read our Adoption Process on the website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.  We expect a lot of applications for this dog, so please bear with us while we assess the offers and find her the most suitable home.

Xena

We are sadly looking to rehome our nearly 5-year-old German Shepherd, Xena, due to housing circumstances.
Xena is a loyal and protective dog who is excellent with children and has been part of a busy family environment. She is okay with cats, though supervision is advised, especially around food as she can be food dominant.
She would make a great guard dog, as she is naturally wary of visitors. She can be unsure at first, but with calm, dog-friendly people and proper introductions, she settles well and builds trust.
Xena is a reactive and nervous dog, particularly around other dogs, likely due to limited socialisation during COVID. Because of this, she would be best suited to a home with no other dogs and with an owner experienced in handling reactive or anxious dogs.
She has been keyhole neutered (spayed) and is microchipped.
Xena has never been crated, travels well in the car, and is good on the lead. She understands and follows basic commands and is a clever, responsive dog. She is also very expressive—she’ll even put her ears back when she knows she’s done something wrong.
She is very alert and will bark at almost anything (even small movements like leaves or dust), so she needs an owner who understands this behaviour and can manage or train it appropriately.
Ideal home:
No other dogs
Someone experienced with reactive or nervous dogs
A calm, structured environment
Secure outdoor space
This is a very difficult decision for our family, and we are committed to finding Xena a safe, patient, and permanent home where she can thrive.

Cali

Cali is a 5 year old Bichon Frise. She’s very affectionate and friendly towards adults and other dogs. However, her temperament has changed around our young children, leading recently to some aggressive behaviour and the extremely difficult decision to rehome her.
We think Cali would be perfectly suited for a single person or a couple looking for a companion. She loves walks, playing with a ball in the garden, and most of all nestling in next to us on the couch in the evenings. She gets very excited by visitors, shown by barking and jumping up to greet, so we started crate training recently because we understand not everyone likes dogs.
Cali is housetrained, except for the occasional accident, which usually occurs in new environments. She has stayed with various sitters over the years when we have been on holiday, and we always receive great feedback.
She’s neutered, microchipped and up to date with vaccines.

Dash

Gentle Dash is an approx 1 year old collie who spent his entire puppyhood on a chain. We see huge potential in this soft lad – his future home will be starting from a great place with his happy, grateful nature – but there is work to do to in terms of all of the basics.

Dash loves his bed, it seems to be a revelatory experience for him! He also loves attention and handling and is absolutely dying to bond with an owner.  He has discovered freedom from the chain and is giddy with wonder in the fields! So far his recall is great because he loves people so much (anything for the cuddle!)

Dash does not like being lead-trained – he was chewing on the lead in frustration and confusion. We are only a couple of days into lead work and, because he is so keen to please, progress is being made.  Patient gentle lead-training sessions will form part of his needs in his new home.

We have had Dash mingle nicely with loads of dogs here at the centre. Socialising him has been very smooth, he is happy to share his space with others but usually dashes about doing his own thing.

Dash will need house-training, which is trickier with dogs that have been chained or confined. It will be something to be worked on by his new owner – clear, consistent vocal rewards as well as a set daily / nightly routine will help him learn. This is a clever lad, he will get it.

To apply for beautiful, biddable Dash, please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

 

 

3 Female Outdoor Cats

These three lovely female cats have spent their entire lives together.  Originally strays who wandered onto a farm setting, they have been neutered and well-cared for.  The property is now up for sale and these 3 cats, need to find a new outside space to call their own.

Although these three are not handleable, they are curious and do interact nicely with the household from a slight distance. There is one who is more tame and will allow gentle rubs. As you can see, all 3 will poke their heads in for feeding but these are outdoor cats who have always had access to a warm shed / barn in their home.

They are looking for another outside home all together.  Whoever offers them this home will need to provide a comfortable space for them to be able to access for cosy shelter and also commit to feeding them regularly.

For the first approx 3 weeks these cats should be kept inside within a shed or barn until they realise that this is their new home.  If let out immediately they will just scarper so measures do need to be put in place to allow them time to adjust and trust this new person / place.

If interested in offering these 3 a home please fill in the Adoption Questionnaire and we will be back to you shortly!

 

Dennis (Denny)

Dennis is a farm-collie who was left abandoned on a property when his owner emigrated. He is a sweet people-focused dog who is looking for a rural home where he will finally receive the time and affection he deserves.

For now Denny needs a softly-softly approach because every time you approach him he winces expecting the worst.  He is only dying to trust and will press himself into you and follow you happily once he understands that he isn’t going to get a belt off you. Dennis loves his bed and is very clean in his kennel considering he will never have lived inside before.

Denny is a classic working collie, he can get hyper-focused and we would like a home where this focus can be spent on something productive like toy play, sniff and search games, or simply consistent training where he listens and reacts to commands. Long stimulating walks would also be a plus!

He is a clever lad Dennis, but everything in life is new to him.  Traffic and crowds and meeting other dogs are all new experiences.  He plays nicely with every female he has met but is more guarded with males. His recent neutering will help take the edge off his intensity but there is no doubt that this lad needs a rural, active and interactive home with plenty of opportunities to work brain and body!

We know that there were cats on Denny’s property (we are dealing with those too!) so we anticipate that he will be fine with cats in a new home.  We won’t consider homes where there are younger children due to his getting startled with sudden movements.

If you would like to offer Dennis his brighter future, please do read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

 

Tip – RESERVED

Tip is a lovely affectionate Jack Russell who is almost 2 years old.  All of his veterinary work is up to date.  He is looking for a new home because he gets over excited around the young children in his house so we would prefer either an adult-only home for him.

Tip would do really well in a rural active home.  He is terrific both on and off the lead, really reliable and absolutely loves his walks. Tip is also used to living within a home and is perfectly house-trained.

Tip enjoys the company of other dogs and meet and greets really nicely on walks.  He would probably prefer to be an only-dog because he is dying to bond with an owner so we don’t want any jealousy issues over attention.

If you are looking for a fun and affectionate walking-companion look no further than Tip, he will be a wingman for life for the right person or couple! To apply for Tipp please fill in the Adoption Questionnaire and we will be in touch.  A Home Visit will apply.

Mousy

Mousey is a beautiful, fluffy black-and-white female cat between 3-6 years old. She came into our care as a frightened feral cat and is still very nervous and unsure around people.
She’ll need a calm, quiet home with someone patient and understanding who can give her the time and space to settle at her own pace. Ideally no other pets.
Mousey has had some health issues, and the vet has noted a heart murmur. She has been vaccinated, wormed, and spayed.
Her ideal home would be rural, away from busy roads, where she can safely explore outdoors once she feels secure.
