While routine neutering and spaying isn’t always possible for our rescue dogs due to limited funds, it remains part of every adoption agreement. 🏡

In Snickers’ and London’s cases, we’ve made the decision to have both neutered and spayed, for their health and their future. 🤍

Snickers has found a forever family, but lately he’s become overly fixated on female scents even ignoring commands to jump up and sniff people who’ve been around other dogs. To give him the best chance at a stable adoption and a good quality of life, we believe neutering is the right choice.🩵🍀

London, on the other hand, is one of our long-term residents. As a large breed with resource guarding issues, her chances of adoption are sadly limited. For her long-term health and well-being in rescue, we feel spaying is the most responsible option.💜🌸

Narla (9 months old) has seen the vet, she was such a good girl! Narla is currently looking for her humans, could you be them?! 🏡👥🐾

She has an ear infection which we’re treating and a flea allergy which we have now treated so her fluff should start coming back soon! 🐾💗🍀
She’s now had a couple of flea bath’s, a health check, flea, tick, worm treatment and vaccinations.🩵

🤍Narla is friendly but quite timid, we will be helping her build her confidence, she’d like a home that’ll continue to help her grow. 🌼

💜She has been good with our other dogs, although she was a little scared at first. 🐕🐩

❤️‍🩹We believe Narla can live with cats, she lived with a cat before, upon arrival she was calm and unintrested in the neighbours cats. 🐈‍⬛ 🐈

If you or somebody you know, could give Narla a home to call her own, please reach out.

Equally if you have any questions at all, we’re here to help! 💌

Meet Narla, Our newest arrival🤍 🐾
Narla is a 9 and a half month old very sweet, mixed breed.💓
From what we’ve seen so far she has been neutral with dogs and cats, but she’s quite timid with new people. 🩵
She’s seeing the vet today, for a health check, vaccinations and a skin issue we’ve noticed. 💜🍀
We’ll be working on building Narla’s confidence and getting her back to tip-top health while she searches for her forever home. 🏡💗

Foxy (rescued here) and Luna at the SECOND Dog Show we attended that DAY! ❤️‍🩹😁Foxy came 2nd 🥈 in “The dog the judge would most like to take home”!
Sorry, you can’t have her, she’s ours! 💘
But there are plenty of dogs in rescue waiting to be taken home…🥺

OF COURSE each dog comes with lifetime support (we’re happy to meet up after adoption, especially to advise/help with training, socialising or even just to catch up)! 🐾🤍
OF COURSE they will be fully vaccinated, health checked, flea, tick, worm treated and on preventative care! 🐕
OF COURSE we will disclose any behaviour issues and needs! 🐶
OF COURSE we’re happy to help should you encounter any challenges! 💗
OF COURSE we are happy to travel closer to you, to help a dog find a forever home! 🚗
OF COURSE we will take a dog back in the unfortunate event (and hopefully fictional) of an adoption not working out! 🏡➡️🏡

We really care for every dog, we always do our best for every single one. 💘

We always strive to place dogs in homes that are a good match to ensure a successful adoption. 🏡

We don’t want to make adoption hard, we want to make it honest and informative! ❤️‍🩹

If you want to start a conversation about adopting a dog, our inbox is open! 💌

Snickers came 2nd in WAGGLIEST TAIL! 🐶🥺❤️‍🩹

The judge said it was very close, over an intermittent stop. 😆

He had a great time at the fete and dog show (the first, yes we went to two in one day) yesterday.🐩
He enjoyed lots of treats and fuss. 🐾

Unfortunately he didn’t find any potential homes this time, but we know he’d make the perfect companion for somebody! 🩵🏡

What a GOOD boy! 💜🐕

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, we’re here to answer any questions you may have!🤍

Please Share,
Let’s help Snickers find his forever family… 💘🐾

London enjoying the sunny breeze, smelling the plants and loving her bum scratches. ☀️🐾
After her walk, she made a mess of my lap by repeatedly putting her ball on me. 💜😂
She is one of our long term stays, only looking for somewhere experienced.🏡🐕

London isn’t an issue, she’s suffering from an issue. She does unfortunately resource guard and doesn’t like people all over her, touching her or in her space, in public we’ve seen that she doesn’t react to people unless approached or stared at, she shows friendly and neutral behaviour with dogs in public but can get overstimulated, especially with very small dogs. She can have dog friends on walks, but a calm, child and pet free home for this girl is necessary, and so is playing ball. 👥🎾🩵

Underneath the problems many will see, London is a playful, funny, loving and loyal girl. ❤️‍🩹
She loves playing ball, doing fun tricks for treats, hanging out with her person (once she trusts you) and adventuring out! 💗🌲

Snickers went swimming today, and for a Staffie cross he actually didn’t hate it! 🐕❤️‍🩹

He could have used our life jacket (it was at home and we didn’t think he’d do more than paddle) and he would definitely benefit from some confidence building, but on his first ever swimming session, he was jumping in!🤩🌊

His little hops make him seem like he’d be such a fun dock diving dog, and he’d probably love agility too. He’s young, he’s fun, and he’s full of potential. Snickers would be an amazing addition to a home.🏡

Remember to keep your dogs cool in the heat! ⚠️‼️☀️🥵

If you can’t adopt but you want to help, please share this post and hopefully we’ll manage to find Snickers his people. 💘

Another new arrival… Snickers is a sweet, intelligent boy with a big heart and so much love to give. He’s highly food-motivated, which makes him eager to learn and fun to train, and he has a natural talent for sniffing—he’d thrive with someone who wants to explore scent work with him, but it’s obviously not a deal breaker if not. 🐶💓

Snickers is actually Luna’s brother, a Staffie cross Dachshund. 🧡

Right now, Snickers would do best as the only dog in the home. He generally gets along well with other dogs, when introduced correctly, but can be unsure around some and can growl—something that, with continued training and the right socialization, we believe he’s likely to grow out of. He has shown calm and respectful behavior around cats, so with correct introductions, he could live alongside them. His biggest challenge is separation anxiety; he loves his people a little too much and struggles with being left alone. At the moment, he’d do best in a home where he isn’t left for too many hours at a time, with someone willing to continue working on his confidence and crate training to help him feel more secure when alone. ❤️‍🩹

Snickers needs a home where he’ll get plenty of love, structure, and engagement, and where his training can continue in a positive way. He’d thrive with someone who enjoys training their dog, keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. If you think you could be the perfect match for Snickers, get in touch—we’d love to find him the home he deserves. 🐾🩵

London is a beautiful Rottweiler with a big heart and a sharp mind! She’s affectionate, food-motivated, and loves engaging with her favorite puzzle toys—especially when there’s a tasty reward involved. She also has a playful side and enjoys a football!💓

London doesn’t pull very much on leash, if she does pull she’s easily redirected, she is very eager to learn. Right now, she’s undergoing training to help her feel more comfortable with handling and to lessen her resource guarding tendencies. We are helping her build trust and teaching her that food and high-value items don’t have to be protected.🐾🐶

London is looking for the right type of home for once she’s had some more training. Her future adopter should:

✅Have a strong understanding of resource guarding
or
Have experience with large working breeds and be willing to learn under professional guidance (firsthand experience would be even better!)

✅ Be adult-only (no children) to ensure a calm, predictable and structured environment

✅ Be pet-free, even though she has shown dog-friendly behavior in controlled settings

✅Be patient, understand that trust and confidence-building take time, and be committed to continuing her training

With time, patience, and the right guidance, London will be an incredible companion for someone who understands her needs. If you think you could be the perfect match for her, we’d love to hear from you! 🐕❤️‍🩹

Luna’s journey is one of resilience, love, and finally finding her true home. This beautiful Staffie-Dachshund cross had already been through so much in her short life before she came to us. She was bought just weeks after her previous owner had rehomed her sister, and before that, they had also given up another dog—one who eventually found their way into our care. Sadly, Luna didn’t receive much socialization or real-world training, and when she arrived, she was incredibly timid and unsure of everything around her.💜

With time, patience, and the help of our other dogs, Luna slowly started to come out of her shell. We worked on building her confidence, helping her feel safe, and showing her that the world wasn’t such a scary place. Despite never having been around cats before, Luna surprised us all by being incredibly gentle and calm with them—she had such a kind and loving soul.🤍

For such a young pup, Luna had already been through too many different places and bad situations, but she finally found what she had been waiting for all along—a forever home. After some confidence-building (and a little diet!), Luna was adopted by Amy, Tom and their family, where she now lives a wonderful, happy life, she even has a best friend, a beautiful cat named Willow, who she had to try to win over before she was even officially moved in, and now they help to do the washing together!❤️‍🩹

Luna is a VIP in her new home! Her new family
has a gym and Luna gets to come along with them, living the high life as their special guest. She’s truly part of their world, and they absolutely adore her.🐕🥰

Seeing Luna finally get the love, stability, and happiness she deserves has been incredible. She’s proof that, with the right care and patience, even the most unsure dogs can blossom into the confident, loving companions they were always meant to be.💙

We couldn’t be happier for Luna and her amazing family—she’s finally home, right where she belongs. 💕
