Poor Ella arrived in a very sorry state after being hit by a car. Her ordeal has left her very wary of people and she takes time to put her trust into strangers. Ella has befriended some of the staff that look after her regularly and they have seen a totally different side to her. She is giddy, friendly and her confidence has really started to grow.
Ella will need an enclosed escape proof garden as walks may be off the cards initially. She is worried about other dogs and will need to be the only pet in a quiet home with older children maybe 14 and over.

Harold really enjoyed showing off some of his newly learned agility tricks!
He’s a super fun 4 year old Lurcher and he loves being around his favourite people. He needs a little time and space to build his confidence initially, but once he’s comfortable he will be your best friend forever. He isn’t looking to share with any other pets but will be fine with kids 16 and over.

Jack, a 7 year old Lurcher, was recently handed over to the rehoming centre after his owners sadly became unable to look after him anymore. The handsome lad quickly caught the eye of his new adopters and this week he left to start his new life in his forever home.
Good luck Jack!

We joined handsome Todd on a lovely walk.
He's a 6 year old Dutch Shepherd Cross and such a cheeky and playful character that you can't help but love him. He easily gets too giddy though so it's important to know when to calm the playtime and focus him onto something else. He is very affectionate once he knows you and enjoys plenty of fuss. He prefers to avoid other dogs he doesn't know so walks in quieter areas would be best. His ideal home would have somewhere that he can take himself off to when he wants to chill out and have some time to himself.

Beau the 2 year old Lurcher was seen enjoying an early morning walk with his handler Cameron.
He’s a very energetic boy who loves his training. He will really suit an active home with adopters who will enjoy doing lots of fun training with him.
Once he’s settled in his new home he’ll be a very loyal and loving companion.
