APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED💙

Meet Rocco 💙

Rocco is a 5 year old, Olde English Bulldog and is sadly looking for a new home due to a change in his family’s circumstances.

He’s a healthy, playful boy who loves playing with other dogs and enjoys the company of children. He hasn’t really been around cats, so we’re unsure how he would be with them.

Sadly, with both adults working and the children at school or college for most of the day, Rocco is being left alone a lot. His family feel he deserves more time, company and attention than they’re currently able to give him.

📍 Location: Darley Abbey, Derby

If you think you could offer Rocco the home and companionship he deserves, please get in touch for more information.

Please share to help Rocco find his forever home!

🆘APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED FOR THE ADORABLE DAVID🆘

🐾🖤 INTRODUCING DAVID! 🖤🐾

Meet our newest arrival, David, enjoying his wet and windy walk this morning! 🌧️🐾

David is a handsome Flat-Coated Retriever cross, just under a year old, with a heart as big as his paws! ❤️

He’s amazing with both people and other dogs, and at this age, he’s still very much a big puppy in a rather large body!

😂 A BIG DAFT BUFFOON WHO THINKS HE’S A LAPDOG! 😂

So, if you’re looking for a dog who’ll happily join you for walks and adventures but then wants to cuddle up on your knee on those dark, cold winter evenings, David could be just the boy for you! 🥰

He’s the sort of dog who could bring so much fun, laughter and love into a family home. He’s still young, so he’ll need a family who can continue his training, give him plenty of exercise and, of course, make room for a rather oversized lapdog! 🐶❤️

🏡 Could David be the missing piece of your family?

📩 interested in giving David his forever home? Message us here for an application form to adopt this gorgeous boy.

Please share to help David find the loving home he deserves! ❤️🐾

🐾 LOOKING FOR A DOG WALKER? 🐾

We’d love to introduce you to Iwona, the lovely lady who fosters our longest-stay dog, Nino, and who has recently taken the plunge into the world of professional dog walking with Steady Steps Canine Services! ❤️

Iwona’s journey with Nino is a perfect example of why understanding our dogs and their individual needs is so important.

When Nino was at Just For Dogs, he loved his walks along our quiet country lanes. However, once he began his foster journey, walking in busier areas proved challenging and caused his stress levels to rise. Over time, he became increasingly difficult to handle.

Rather than giving up, Iwona sought advice from Holly at Grounded Canine and worked hard to understand Nino’s needs. With patience, understanding and the right guidance, they’ve made fantastic progress, and now both Iwona and Nino can enjoy their outdoor adventures to the full! 🐶❤️

It’s this kind of experience that makes Iwona so well placed to understand dogs who may need a little extra patience, reassurance and understanding.

If you’re looking for a dog walker who appreciates that every dog is different, whether they’re nervous, anxious, reactive or simply full of beans, why not get in touch with Iwona?

She offers one-to-one walks tailored to your dog’s individual needs, with photo and message updates after every walk.

📍 Based near Elvaston Park, covering the surrounding areas.

Please give Iwona’s new venture some love, share her post and help spread the word! Supporting someone who has given one of our longest-stay dogs a chance at a happier life makes this one particularly special to us. 🐾❤️

Good luck, Iwona! We’re rooting for you! ❤️

This is a message from Rosemary Birnie, one of our adopters and longterm supporters.

‘Fancy a good night out in November? An evening of food, dancing, good company and the chance to win in a fantastic prize draw. Maybe you've not yet decided when/ where to hold your work Christmas party? You could have all this and help the wonderful Just For Dogs charity, raise much needed funds.
Maybe, like me, you make a charity donation for Christmas? This year your donation could buy you a night out aswell.
Just For Dogs are a brilliant, local, charity, who rehome dogs who have endured the most horrendous lives, literally, in many cases, saving them from certain death. The staff and volunteers at Just For Dogs, work incredibly hard and give so much love, to these dogs, from the moment they arrive and step, confused and frightened, from the transport. As you can probably imagine, their running costs for the kennels and the vets bill, are eye wateringly high.
This year, is their first attempt at raising vital funds, through a Gala Dinner, so I'm asking all..
Please support them, if you can.
£20 wouldn't buy you a meal out, you certainly wouldn't get entertainment aswell! Get a group of friends/ work colleagues together and start Christmas celebrations early. Your £20 ticket could probably be the difference between a dogs life being saved or left behind.
Please contact Just For Dogs for more details and hopefully I'll see you there’ x

Can we ask everyone to share this post please, whether you can make the event or not?

Thank you 🙏 xx

ANOTHER OPEN DAY SUCCESS 💖

‘Well… that escalated quickly! 🐾🧡

Last Sunday, we went along to the open day with absolutely NO intention of coming home with a dog anytime soon. Famous last words. 😂

Naturally, I fell in love with EVERY SINGLE DOG. I spotted Scamp first and wanted to take him for a walk, but thought I’d have a little wander around before deciding.

And then… we met Freya. 🧡

Fast forward a few days, and this morning we picked up our beautiful girl and brought her home. Safe to say, our hearts are VERY full. 🥹

So far, we've established that toys are highly suspicious, a muddy corner of the garden is apparently prime real estate, and the underfloor heating is quite possibly the greatest invention known to dogkind. 😂🐶

She's already settling in, finding her feet and, more importantly, wrapping us around her little paws. She's got absolutely no idea just how spoilt she's about to be!

I'll undoubtedly be boring you all with Freya updates, a ridiculous number of photos and approximately 700 questions about dog ownership. So consider this your warning! 😂

On that note, if anyone knows of any brilliant secure dog fields worth visiting, please send your recommendations our way!

We went to that open day thinking we'd just have a look. Instead, we found a little girl who needed a forever home, and it turns out we needed her just as much. 🧡

Welcome home, Freya. You'll never have to wonder where you belong or worry about being alone again. You've got us forever. ‘🐾🧡

Amber is still waiting for her happy ending… 🤎

Once upon a time, Amber and her daughter Coco were waiting together, hoping that one day their lives would change.✨

And then Coco’s forever family came along. 🥹🤎 She was adopted, and she’s now living her very best life - surrounded by love, comfort and everything she deserves.

We couldn’t be happier for Coco… but there’s one thought that stays with us.

We want the same for Amber.🥰

Amber has been waiting since arriving in February 2025. She’s a beautiful, devoted girl, born on 12.03.2019, with a huge heart and so much love to give to the person she trusts.

She’s a true guardian at heart - loyal, affectionate with her family and naturally protective of those she loves. At home, she’s a wonderfully chilled-out girl who enjoys nothing more than relaxing, napping and having peaceful time with her people. 🐾

For the right person, Amber could be an incredibly special companion.

She needs a calm and predictable home, with adults or older children aged 16+, secure outdoor space and adopters who are physically strong enough to manage her size and strength. She is tolerant of dogs, while her feelings about cats are currently unknown.🐾

Coco has found her people. She has her home. She has her happy ending. 🤎

Now it’s Amber’s turn.🥹

Somewhere out there is the person who will look at Amber, understand her, respect her boundaries and realise just how special she really is.✨

Please don’t let this girl be overlooked. Please share her. Her forever family could be reading this right now. 🏡🤎

Amber is ready for her happy ending. Are you the one who can give it to her?🐾
