We are in LOVE with Jake’s special Christmas portrait!
He’s an eight-year-old Lurcher who needs very special adopters who will come and get to know him slowly due to his shyness around new people. We’ve seen how playful and affectionate he is once he has bonded so believe us when we say he’s well worth the time and effort!

Todd came to pose for a photo in front of the Christmas tree and what a smile!
He’s a stunning six-year-old Dutch Herder Crossbreed who just loves life! Playtime, walkies, snuggles, he’s there for it all!
He’ll need dedicated adopters who will work with the centre’s training team to slowly transition him into a new home, but with a little time and patience he’ll make a wonderful best buddy!

Bear is one of the lucky dogs to be adopted this week. Although the centre pauses many adoptions over the Christmas celebration days due to the additional house visitors or parties, lucky Bear has been able to leave in time to spend Christmas with his new family.
We’re so happy for him and wish him all the love in the world.

How handsome is Harold? He’s a four-year-old Lurcher who has been waiting to find his forever home for a few months now. He’s a wonderful dog to be around. Full of fun, loves to play and he enjoys learning new things too, so he really is the full package!
Let’s hope his new home is just around the corner.

Purdy is a beautiful seven-year-old Shepherd Cross who adores showering her humans in love and affection. She is worried by other dogs but has shown that when walked in quiet, dog-free areas she is perfect. She’ll thrive in a patient household where she won’t see other dogs around her home.

We caught Mila having a sneaky peek at some of the Christmas presents under the tree!
She’s a fabulous five-year-old Crossbreed who is full of all the fun personality you’d expect from her bully breed! She loves people and enjoys nothing more than a good walk followed by snuggles on the sofa. What’s not to love?
