Hello, the name is Ernie! 🐾❤️

I'm a handsome gentleman who has well and truly graduated from the puppy years. These days, I much prefer the finer things in life: peaceful walks, long naps in a cosy spot, and stretching out in the sunshine whenever I get the chance.

I'm looking for a loving forever home where I can enjoy a slower pace of life with my very own humans. If you're searching for a loyal companion who's happy to join you on a stroll and then curl up nearby while you relax, I could be your perfect match.

My dream home would have a nice secure garden where I can potter about, explore, and sunbathe between adventures. I could happily live with calm, older children who understand that a distinguished gentleman like me appreciates a little peace and quiet.

I'd probably be happiest as your one and only pet, soaking up all the love and attention for myself. However, I may be able to share my home with a larger, calm, and friendly dog who enjoys a relaxed lifestyle too.

If you think we could be best friends, I'd love to meet you. I promise to bring plenty of love and companionship to your life.

🤞🏠❤️

Meet Ollie ❤️

Ollie is adorable and has the sweetest nature. He's calm, gentle, affectionate, and happiest curled up beside his person. He loves a predictable routine and enjoys a quiet, relaxed lifestyle.

Ollie is looking for a calm home where he can feel safe and secure. He gets on with other dogs but would likely be happiest as an only pet at the centre of someone's world, soaking up all the love and attention he deserves.

You probably noticed from his picture, he has no eyes. He navigates the world in his own way and once he knows his surroundings and routine, he settles really well. What he lacks in eyesight, he more than makes up for with love, trust, and companionship.

If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly little shadow to share quiet days and cosy evenings with, Ollie could be the perfect match.

Please get in touch if you'd like to learn more about this very special boy.

🐾 Meet Hunter 🐾

Handsome Hunter is an 18-month-old Spaniel with a heart of gold and energy to spare. This friendly, affectionate boy absolutely loves meeting new people and making new friends wherever he goes.

Like many young dogs, Hunter can sometimes feel a little anxious, so he's looking for a patient and understanding home that can help him continue to build his confidence. He is searching for a home without young children where he can truly thrive.

Hunter could potentially live with another dog, subject to successful introductions, but we don't yet know how he feels about cats.

We're looking for an experienced home with an active lifestyle that can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, training, and socialisation. In return, Hunter will reward you with endless affection, loyalty and companionship.

This sweet boy has so much potential and deserves a family who will give him all the love, guidance and attention he needs to flourish.

Could you be the one to give Hunter the life he's waiting for? ❤️

Happy Volunteers' Week! 🐾❤️

From the 1st to the 7th of June, we're celebrating the incredible people who give their time, energy, and love to help our dogs every single day. Whether they're walking dogs, cleaning kennels, fundraising, supporting events, volunteering in our charity shops, or lending a hand wherever it's needed, our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do.
Quite simply...we would be lost without you.

We hope you know just how much of a difference you make.

To each and every one of our volunteers: thank you for everything you do.

You are truly appreciated and our dogs (and all of us at the rescue) are truly lucky to have you as part of our team. 🐶✨

🐶✨ Treats wanted ✨🐶

Our dogs are always very busy learning through reward-based training — and that means we get through a lot of treats!

Treats help our dogs build confidence, trust, and happiness while they wait for their forever homes.

If you’d like to spoil our gorgeous rescue dogs and support their training, we’d be so grateful if you could check out our Amazon Wishlist and send some tasty treats their way.

Thank you for helping us keep tails wagging and hearts healing. Every treat truly makes a difference. 💕🐾
