7. Edie
Edie (2 years) is such a sweet girl who is great once she has a relationship with you, however she is very worried by unfamiliar people and takes time to build trust. She is more comfortable with females rather than males. Once there is a bond she is very interactive and affectionate. Unfortunately, she does not like being around other dogs so cannot share her home with any pets and must be walked in quiet areas where she won't have any dogs coming up to her. She loves to play with toys and is ace with her training. In the home, she is very clean, calm, and actually rather lazy! She simply enjoys a chilled life. She is still working on a few training areas, like muzzle work, but is ready to start getting to know her new family through regular visits to the centre while we continue her training.
8. Bertie
One look at Bertie's squishy face and you'll be smitten! He's 2 years old and full of character. Sadly, he led a very sheltered life due to the pandemic lockdown and when he arrived with us, he was already worried by unfamiliar people and places. He needs to expand his world very slowly and with a lot of care and patience. Other dogs are another worry for him and so he must be walked in quieter areas. If you take the time to slowly get to know him you will soon see that underneath he is wonderful boy who will always make you smile. He loves to play with his toys and is very affectionate with his friends. Smart? Oh yes! He loves to learn new things and is very motivated to show off if there are some treats coming his way. So if you are a true Bully lover, quirks and all, you will see that all the time and effort to get into Bertie's gang will be well worth it.
9. Balthazar
Balthazar is our very special boy who is looking for super special owners who can shower him with love. He was found in an appauling state, he was skin and bone, covered in oil and had open wounds along his back and hips. Thankfully he is now recovering and has gained 5kgs. As you can imagine food is a big factor in Balthy's life and he will counter surf for any unattended treats. He has a wonderful nature and is so happy to see everyone. Sadly he popped his tail whilst enthusiastically wagging and it has had to be amputated but his little stump still wags away.
10. Kaya
Kaya is a gorgeous pudding of a girl who at 11 months old still has some growing to do and lots of learning for the big wide world. As you can see from her pictures she does have some complex orthopoedic issues, these are life limiting. Kaya is looking for a home with very understanding owners who can take onboard her medical needs. This will all be discussed with our centre vet. She enjoys going out for walks and exploring but doesn't go for miles and miles. A good 35 minute mooch is great for her. Being young she could do with some basic training to help her learn new things.
11. Jake
Jake is one of the sweetest, most loving dogs you could ever wish to meet. He's 7 years old and due to an unsettled life previously he's been left with a few anxieties. He likes to take his time to get to know you properly but if you put in the time to come and see him regularly and give him the space he needs initially then in no time he'll be your shadow! He's super foody so if there are a few treats on offer he'll show you all his training moves. Once he's bonded with you he'll show you what a fun and playful boy he really is. He enjoys his walkies in quiet areas as sadly he's worried by other dogs and prefers to stay away from them. He's perfectly manageable though and happily wears his muzzle out and about. He's so affectionate that he'll spend the whole day snuggling on the sofa with you if give him the chance!
12. May
Calling all rural homes! Gorgeous May is one of life's worriers, and after much deliberation, she has decided that city life is not for her. Upon viewing many episodes of 'Location, Location, Location', she's set her sights on a retirement home in the countryside and she's now hoping to find a family that will help her achieve her dream. A quiet home with lots of garden space, so that May can continue with her hobby of 'gardening' (some might describe the hobby as 'digging')... so she'll need a family who are happy for her to have some say in the garden arrangement!
