🌻🐾 Meet Herc – This Saturday At Adoption Day! 🐾🌻

Herc is a gorgeous 5-month-old Kelpie girl with a wonderfully sweet and friendly nature. 🥹💛 She loves being around her people and is happiest wherever they are – whether she's playing with her canine friend, entertaining herself or curling up beside you on the couch.

She's a medium-energy girl who enjoys a good play but also has a lovely ability to settle. She's affectionate, people-focused and absolutely loves being told she's a good girl! 🥰

Herc is a clever little learner who is making great progress with her training. She's learning "sit", "wait" and recall, with toilet training also coming along well. She's mostly toileting outside but will need continued consistency as she finishes mastering this puppy skill. She can get excited and jump up or occasionally nip at heels during play, but responds quickly to redirection.

She's wonderful with people and children and gets along beautifully with other dogs. 🐶💕 Her cat compatibility is currently unknown, and she has shown a strong interest in chasing birds, so careful management around birds and other small animals will be important.

And then there's Herc's hilarious party trick – she sometimes does actual somersaults when she's playing! 😂🤸‍♀️

Herc would love a family who wants their dog involved in everyday life and will continue her training, socialisation and enrichment as she grows. She's a sweet, playful and affectionate girl who is just as happy having fun as she is snuggling up for a nap.

If you're looking for a gorgeous young Kelpie with a clever brain, loving nature and plenty of silly puppy personality, Herc could be your girl! 🌻🐾💛

🌸💜 Meet Monaka – Our Sweet Little Girl Finding Her Confidence! 🐾💜

At 10 months old, Monaka is a gorgeous Kelpie x Jack Russell girl who is slowly discovering that the world isn’t quite so scary after all. 🥹💜 After a month in care, this timid little girl is making beautiful progress and beginning to show the sweet personality hiding beneath her shyness.

Monaka is still nervous, but she’s learning that her foster family is safe. She’s now spending time inside with them, allowing pats and cuddles and has even started grabbing their hands to pull them closer! 🥹 She’s also tackling things that once frightened her, including walking through the front door on her own.

These may seem like tiny steps, but for Monaka they’re HUGE achievements. 🐾

🎂 Age: 10 months
🐶 Breed: Kelpie x Jack Russell
📍 Location: Rye

• Continuing positive socialisation
• Growing more comfortable inside the home

💜 Clever and curious

Monaka isn’t the girl who will immediately run up to strangers for cuddles. She needs time, patience and someone who understands that confidence can’t be rushed. But watching her discover that she is safe and loved is incredibly special. 🥹💜

If you’re willing to give a shy little girl the time and understanding she deserves, Monaka could be the most rewarding companion to welcome into your heart. 🌸🐾

☯️🐾 Meet Tai Chi – This Saturday At Adoption Day! 🐾☯️

Tai Chi is an adorable 2-month-old Cattle Dog boy with a wonderfully chilled personality and a serious love of his humans. He enjoys a good puppy play session with his brother, but when given the choice, he'd much rather snuggle up with his favourite person. 🥹 He's a sweet little boy who is happiest when he's close to his people.

Of course, being a 2-month-old puppy means Tai Chi is also discovering the joys of chewing absolutely everything – including your toes and fingers! 😂 No matter how many toys are offered, apparently human hands and feet are far more interesting. He's still learning those important puppy manners and will benefit from plenty of positive guidance, appropriate chew toys and patience as he grows.

Tai Chi loves being part of the family and enjoys playing with the children and his big Staffy brother. He has a lovely, relaxed nature and is just as happy having a little play as he is curling up beside his human for some affection. 🐾

This gorgeous boy would love a family ready for all the cuddles, puppy silliness and learning that comes with raising a young Cattle Dog. He'll thrive with plenty of positive training, socialisation, enrichment, playtime and new experiences as he discovers the world around him.

If you're looking for a chilled, affectionate little Cattle Dog who would happily choose cuddles with his human after a good puppy play, Tai Chi could be your perfect little guy! ☯️🤍🐾

Angel Cake is a gorgeous little Bull Arab girl with a mischievous streak and a whole lot of confidence! She's an adventurous, independent little soul who seems ready to take on anything the world throws her way. Around her humans, she's an absolute angel, but around her siblings? Well, that's where her cheeky side really shines! 🤎

Angel Cake is often the instigator of her litter's wrestling matches, seemingly appearing out of nowhere to launch the perfect tackle.

Thankfully, she's happy to take their feedback on board before moving along to find her next playmate. 🥹

With her energetic, outgoing personality, Angel Cake could really enjoy having a well-matched canine companion to play with and keep her company. Her forever family will need to continue her socialisation and basic training as she grows, helping her channel that enthusiasm into positive play and good manners.

She's already been exposed to a variety of surfaces, people and car rides, and she's familiar with her crate as a safe, relaxing place. Like all puppies, she'll need ongoing toilet training, patience and plenty of positive experiences as she discovers the wider world.

Angel Cake has all the makings of a wonderful companion – confident, playful, affectionate and always ready for her next little adventure. If you're looking for a fun-loving girl who'll keep life entertaining and bring plenty of personality into your home, Angel Cake could be your girl! 😇🤎🐾
