We are looking for a new home for this gorgeous boy.
Hercules is a 1 year old Doberman. We are looking ideally for someone experienced with this breed. He is great fun but is extremely boisterous/wired (we can help with this as he just needs the right routines in place). Hercules needs training (we can help with this also) and although he has lived with another dog and young children he is very lively so to give him the best chance we are looking for a dog/child free home. He is very food motivated which will make training him so much easier.
We would ideally need someone that is retired or maybe works from home so he isn't left home alone for long periods of time. If you think that you could offer him a home then please get in touch.

We need your help once again. We will soon be looking for a home for this lovely little girl. This is Flo and she is a four year old Frenchie X Boston. Flo recently came into our care due to her previous owner struggling with her. She hadn't been walked properly for years and was struggling with the young child in the home that she was in. We are fostering her whilst we find her forever home. Julie and Dave (her foster carers) have been working so hard to make this girl feel more confident and settled.

In the week that we have had her she has come on leaps and bounds and we are starting to see her confidence grow and her character come out. She now happily goes out for walks and enjoys being outside. She is scared of men initially but with patience can adapt as she has with Dave and other men that she has been introduced to. The biggest thing we need to deal with is her fear of dogs. Obviously as she wasn't walked properly, she hasn't been socialised. Despite previously living with a dog she really doesn't know what to do when she sees one and just screams (best way to describe it) which can be embarrassing but there is no malice in her. This is slowly getting better but will take time. Flo has adapted well to Julie and Dave’s little Frenchie.

Flo also has some separation anxiety issues as she used to sleep in her owners bedroom and there was always someone at home. Julie and Dave have also worked really hard on this and she is much improved already, she now sleeps in the kitchen overnight happily.

We will be looking for a child free (possibly older children would be considered) and probably pet free home so that Flo can feel as relaxed as possible in her new home. This little girl is going to be an absolutely amazing dog. She loves her walks, loves cuddles and loves to play ball etc.

If you feel that your home would be suitable for Flo and you have the time to commit to training and developing her (with our help) then please get in touch.

We ask for you all to share this post and help us find that perfect home. Lets find Flo her happy ever after.

Update! A home has been found for this lovely girl. Thank you for all the offers that we received and for all the shares.

We are looking for a special home for this lovely girl. She is a 6 month old Pug x Frenchie. She is a very lively girl who needs a home with an experienced dog owner that will bring her for training classes. She’s going to be an amazing little girl in the right hands. She is great with dogs (although lively) and children but is still very mouthy (only In a puppy way) so would possibly be too much for small children. She is wary of traffic but overall a confident dog so she should adapt to that once socialised. This is a genuine re-homing, her owner is an elderly lady with some health issues that realises she can’t give her what she needs and wants the best for her. Please private message with details about yourself if you are interested.

Please share so that we can find this girl a new home.

She currently lives with another dog and is fine with dogs that she meets on walks and is great with the grandchildren. This is a genuine re home and further details will be given to suitable new homes. If you feel that you could offer this dog a home please send us a message. Please share this post.

A special request. We are looking for an experienced dog owner for a temporary foster home for this dog. His owners have to go into emergency housing and the council won't allow them to take him. They are desperate to be able to keep him as they have had him since he was 4 weeks old. He is a bouncy but friendly boy. Good with dogs and children. If you think you could help then please send us a message. Please share.

We are so pleased to say that Grace has found her forever home. Good luck Grace :-)

Please keep sharing. This gorgeous girl needs a home. She has been treated so badly and yet has so much love to give.

This will probably be the biggest appeal we have made so far. A very special home needed. This is Grace. She's a young dog that has had an awful start to life. She's been in a home where she wasn't walked and was hit by the owners :-( She is very scared. Jenkins Canine Services are working with Grace to build her confidence. She is currently in kennels. We are looking for an experienced dog owner that would give this girl the time and patience she needs. Jenkins Canine Services will provide free training for her new family. She is very scared of men but does adapt once she gets to know you. She has been walked with another dog which certainly made her more confident. If you could help this lovely girl or know someone who could then please message us. Please share. We must help this lovely girl to have a happy ending.
