PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON HOW DO I ADOPT PAGE BEFORE CONTACTING US - Thank you. YOU WILL NEED TO TRAVEL TO OUR CENTRE WHICH IS BASED IN STAFFORDSHIRE.

Davis is a year old he has spent most of his life at a council run pound and has very little experience of life outside of this.

He hasn't been socialised and will need time and patience to adapt to living in a home and being amongst people.

Davis has never been on a lead so everyday walks is something that will need to be built upon and may take several months to achieve but if you have the time and patience to teach this young chap what life is all about please get in touch.

Bayley

Male 6 years

PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON HOW DO I ADOPT PAGE BEFORE CONTACTING US - Thank you. YOU WILL NEED TO TRAVEL TO OUR CENTRE WHICH IS BASED IN STAFFORDSHIRE.

Hello, I’m Bayley! I’m looking for something a little different from most dogs.

I’m not searching for someone who expects me to love them at first sight. I’m looking for someone who understands that the very best friendships can take a little time.

I’m 5 years old and life has brought quite a few changes my way. I originally came into rescue when my humans were no longer well enough to care for me. Since then, I’ve had two very short stays in new homes, but I found meeting unfamiliar people difficult and, when I became worried, I growled and snapped.

So here's the most important thing to know about me:

Please don't rush me.

Give me time to watch you, work you out and realise that you're someone I can trust. Once I'm confident you're no threat, things change completely

I’ll be your best friend.

THERE'S LOTS TO LOVE ABOUT ME!

I’m housetrained.

I know some basic commands – I’m not just a handsome face! I LOVE my toys – playtime is definitely one of my favourite things. I travel well, so once we’ve become friends, we can enjoy adventures together.

I sleep peacefully through the night – beauty sleep is important, you know!

I generally prefer to avoid other dogs, although I may react if another dog reacts towards me first. Traffic and loud noises can make me nervous, so quieter walks and a patient person who won’t push me beyond what I can cope with would suit me beautifully.

MY PERFECT HOME

My dream home would be calm and predictable, without lots of people constantly coming and going. Young children wouldn’t suit me because I need people around me who can understand when I’m feeling unsure and give me the space I’m asking for.

And there’s one more important thing

We’re going to have to date before we move in together!

I’ll need you to visit me more than once so I can properly get to know you. Those visits will give us time to build a relationship before we take the big step of going home together.

I might not be the dog who runs straight over and throws myself into your arms on our first meeting. But please don’t mistake uncertainty for a lack of love to give.

I just need a little longer to decide that the world – and the people in it – are safe.

Could you be the person who gives Bayley the time he needs to become your best friend?

Digby is a 2 yr old entire black and white Border Collie. He came into our care from a rescue in Ireland after being picked up from the pound. He was possibly a stray.

Digby is a friendly boy so would be suitable to live with children aged 8 yrs +. He responds to "sit" command and likes to play with a ball.

ROXY: THE POWER BALLAD

Cue the synths. Hit the smoke machine. Roll the neon lights…

Every great 80s music video has a heroine who’s been through a tough chapter, picked herself back up and is ready for her next big adventure.

At 5½ years old, Roxy has found herself looking for a new home after her owner had to leave her accommodation and sadly couldn’t take Roxy with her.

Now she’s waiting for someone to give her the fresh start she deserves.

THE GOOD STUFF

Housetrained – no drama, no remix required.

Happy being left for 4+ hours

Good with visitors – she may announce their arrival with a few barks at the door, but once introductions are over, she interacts well with people coming into the home.

Has met children aged 10 and 12 and was fine with them.

EVERY ROCK STAR HAS HER RIDER…

Roxy does have some things her new family will need to understand.

She has previously been crated when left during the day and overnight, but she can guard her crate when approached. For that reason, a crate may not be the best choice in her new home.

We've also been told that Roxy may guard her food bowl, so she will need sensible management around food and her own space while eating.

Other dogs are Roxy's biggest challenge. Roxy was attacked by another dog a few years ago, and her owner noticed a change in her behaviour afterwards. She can bark and lunge at dogs while on lead and may be snappy if another dog gets too close. She'll therefore need an understanding home prepared to manage her carefully around other dogs and give her the space she needs.

She's looking for someone who can understand her quirks, respect her boundaries and help her feel secure again.

The final verse hasn't been written yet…

Maybe Roxy's greatest hit could be coming home with you.

Mabel (RESERVED)

Female 1 years

PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON HOW DO I ADOPT PAGE BEFORE CONTACTING US - Thank you. YOU WILL NEED TO TRAVEL TO OUR CENTRE WHICH IS BASED IN STAFFORDSHIRE.

As you may have noticed this lovely girl is not, in fact, a Border Collie. She somehow made the journey over from Ireland and into our rescue before anyone asked too many questions, so now we’re simply rolling with it!

She was given up by her owner, where she was reportedly a little bossy with the other dog in the house and could guard her toys. She later spent time in foster care and was said to be very good with the children there but did snap at the grandmother.

Since arriving with us, she has been a little shy meeting people but quickly warmed up to staff and happily sought affection and attention. She has also walked nicely alongside another dog and is settling into kennel life well.

She did spend one night in a home but was returned the following morning as when she was out in the garden she snapped at the female owners arm causing a tooth scrape and also tore a small hole in her top.

Mabel would be better suited to a calm quiet home without young children, Hopefully there’s someone out there willing to forgive her for not being a Border Collie!

Billie

Female 7 years

PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON HOW DO I ADOPT PAGE BEFORE CONTACTING US - Thank you. YOU WILL NEED TO TRAVEL TO OUR CENTRE WHICH IS BASED IN STAFFORDSHIRE.

Pull on your boots, tune up the old guitar and meet our country girl, Billie

Billie’s 7 years old, and right now she’s hoping there’s a new home somewhere down the road with her name on the gate.

Billie came into our care after she snapped towards her owner’s 3-year-old child on two occasions, although no contact was made. She’s a friendly girl, but because of those incidents and the fact that Billie can resource guard her food, we’re looking for a home without young children where her boundaries can be understood and respected.

A LITTLE ABOUT OUR COUNTRY GAL

Housetrained – Billie knows her home manners.

Good when left alone – she’s happy to kick back and enjoy a little peace and quiet.

Travels well – if there’s an open road and an adventure ahead, Billie’s ready to ride shotgun.

Other dogs – Billie previously mixed with other dogs at doggy day care. More recently, however, her owner reported that she had started barking when seeing other dogs while out on walks.

A FEW BUMPS ALONG THE TRAIL…

Billie has a habit of chasing traffic, so her new family will need to be particularly careful when walking her around roads and passing vehicles.

And as for cats

Billie says this town ain’t big enough for the both of us!

She has met the centre cat and was very focused, so Billie will not be rehomed to live with cats.

COULD YOU BE BILLIE’S HAPPY-EVER-AFTER?

Billie may have a few verses in her story that need an understanding home, but she’s still a friendly girl with plenty to offer.

She’s looking for people who’ll respect her space around food, manage her carefully when she’s out and about, and give this country girl the security and companionship she needs.

She doesn’t need bright city lights or her name up in Nashville

Just a safe home, a comfy bed and someone to ride through life beside her.

Jet

Female 2 years

PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON HOW DO I ADOPT PAGE BEFORE CONTACTING US - Thank you. YOU WILL NEED TO TRAVEL TO OUR CENTRE WHICH IS BASED IN STAFFORDSHIRE.

Jet is a 2 year old neutered collie. She originally came into our care via another rescue after she was found living in a horse trailer. She than spent 6mths in a home but was returned as her owners felt their home and life style wasn't right for her needs.

She is housetrained, is good when left alone for a few hours, travels very well and knows several commands. She does lunge at large vehicles when out walking but is ok with passing cars.

Having spent her early years locked away Jet missed out on being socialised and can be worried by people that suddenly reach out towards her and has been know to growl and snap if she feels threatened so requires an owner that understand her fear and is willing to work with her and avoid situations that she struggles with.

She is ok around calm non reactive dogs but if dogs pester her she again can become worried and will react.

Jet requires a quiet home without young children or frequent different visitors. Once she has built a bond with her owner she is very loyal and affectionate.
