We caught little Monty having a cheeky snooze in his kennel!
He’s a super cute three yr old Toy Poodle Cross who is quite a shy character. He needs very patient adopters who will take their time getting to know him and live in a calm and predictable environment. Once he’s comfortable and formed a relationship, he is a real sweet lad to have around.

We met this lovely, gentle 10yr old Staffy whilst he was enjoying a little walk with one of the rehoming centres Volunteers.
Taz has been waiting to find his forever home for a few weeks now and we think it might be his age that’s putting people off, but don’t be fooled. This amazing Staffy has so much love to give he’ll be a wonderful companion. He loves human attention and since he likes a peaceful life, he doesn’t require lots of exercise. We’ve totally fallen for him!

Cleo is nearly five years old and she’s a Terrier Cross. She is a very busy girl with bundles of energy. Although she can be a little shy at first, she soon comes round and when she does you have a best friend for life! She loves toys, and thoroughly enjoys playing with a tennis ball.
She needs energetic adopters who will be able to keep up with her and enjoy all the fun training that she loves so much.

We joined Alfie, a two yr old Collie, for a game of fetch in the rehoming centre's enclosed field.
He’s a real livewire who loves to train and loves to fetch tennis balls! Basically, he’s loads of fun and he’s looking for a home with adopters who understand his breed traits and will enjoy keeping his brain and body busy.

Domino was spotted enjoying a little bum scratch during one of his off-lead play sessions.
He’s a truly stunning Lurcher who’s eight yrs old full of training potential. He’s got a very smart brain and loves learning. He’ll really suit a home with adults who enjoy living a very active life and have a keen interest in dog training.
