Jasper is still searching for his forever home, he is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu who is full of charm and character ✨

🐾 Jasper adores people and thrives on human company. He’s a fun, affectionate boy who loves playtime and showing off his personality once he feels secure.

🏡 Jasper would flourish in a quiet, adult-only home where his adopter is around most of the day. He’ll need to be the only pet and would love a secure garden to run, play, and relax in.

🧸 Like many young dogs, Jasper can get a little too excited during play and sometimes fixates on toys. Helping him stay calm and teaching him to self-settle will be an important part of his journey.

🐕 Jasper can be nervous around unfamiliar people or dogs. He may bark when stressed, so patient guidance and positive, reward-based training will help build his confidence.

🧠 Jasper is intelligent and eager to learn! He picks up new things quickly and enjoys interactive training sessions. His recall is already good and will only improve with consistency.

✂️ Jasper is vaccinated, flea-treated, wormed, and neutered. He’ll need regular grooming to keep his beautiful coat healthy and comfortable.

📅 Meet and greets are by appointment only, following a successful adoption application.

Please share to help Jasper find his happy ever after 🏠🐾

✨ Beautiful boy Pete is still searching for his forever home 🏡

🤎 Pete is a 3-year old Greyhound who has a waggy tail and a big heart.

🏡 He adores human company and brings joy wherever he goes. He greets everyone with enthusiasm and is always ready for the next adventure.

🦮 He walks beautifully on lead and loves using his nose, but true to his sighthound roots, he has a sharp eye for small animals. Alertness and confident handling are essential to keep him safe and focused on walks.

🐕 Pete would love a secure garden for zoomies and sunbathing would be perfect. He’d benefit from living with another dog following slow, careful introductions - but no smaller dogs, please.

🐾 Pete’s prey drive means he cannot live with cats or small furries.

🛋️ He’ll do best in a home where someone is around most of the day, offering companionship and structure.

🎓 Pete enjoys short bursts of off-lead play in secure areas (around 20 minutes) before curling up on the sofa for a well-earned snooze. Continued consistency and routine will help him settle beautifully.

🩺 Pete is vaccinated, flea-treated, wormed, and neutered.

📅 Meet and greets are by appointment only following a successful adoption application.

Please share to help Pete find his perfect home 🏡

🩶 Eileen is still searching for her forever home, she is a 5-year-old Greyhound with a gentle heart and a waggy tail.

🏡 Eileen is a sweet-natured girl, she’s friendly and relaxed when meeting new people and always happy to let you pop on her harness and lead with no fuss.

🦮 Out on walks, Eileen is a dream. She strolls calmly by your side, taking in the world with quiet curiosity. She’s very responsive to her name and will happily come back to you even when she’s mid-sniff.

🧸 Soft squeaky toys are her absolute favourite, and she’s wonderfully treat-motivated. This makes bonding, training, and enrichment incredibly fun and rewarding.

🏠 Eileen would love a calm home with a secure garden where she can play, potter, and enjoy her toys.

🎓 With her love of treats and toys, Eileen is highly trainable. She’d enjoy gentle scent games, simple enrichment, and ongoing positive reinforcement to continue building her skills.

🩺 Eileen is vaccinated, flea-treated, wormed, and neutered.

🐾 Please share to help this lovely girl find her forever sofa 🤍
