DOGS NEEDING HOMES

All our rescues are microchipped, vaccinated, neutered (age appropriate) and will have had recent flea/tick/worming treatment. Please complete an application form via the website.

The rescues below have been assessed in UK foster homes, but we will have many more waiting to come on the website after their assessment period in foster homes, so please, keep checking in.

RICHARD - 1 YEAR

Not our choice of name! But strangely, really suits him! RICHARD is in foster near Grantham, Lincolnshire. Mr Bouncy Breton is a tiny breton with a big heart. He loves everyone and everything. He’s about 9 kg and full of joy and efferverscence! He is on springs and will try to grab your attention (well, when you are one of many, anything works!). He loves playing in the garden with the other foster dogs, chasing a ball and cuddling up with his foster siblings. He is cat friendly (currently living with 3), dog friendly, very people friendly. Pulls a little on a lead in the woods, but he is a great sniffer, so that slows him up.

RICHARD is housetrained and sleeps in the kitchen at night with the other dogs from 10.00 pm-6.00 am without incidence. He would be happy with another resident dog or in a family that have time to spend with him (throwing his ball, canicross, agility etc), he is such a happy boy having a good sized garden to race around with his toys and ball.

Travels well in the car (jumps straight in) and happy to watch the world go by. As ever, his is an intelligent boy, eager to learn and soak up training, pretty much a blank canvas and they are always such loving rescues.

He is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatments and a Spanish Passport.

LUCERO - 3 YEARS *** NEEDS ANOTHER RESIDENT DOG ***

RESERVED

This gorgeous springer found as a stray in Spain, he arrived into a UK foster at the end of last year. LUCERO is in foster near Sleaford, Lincolnshire. He was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and has undergone a FHO surgery to aid his mobility and comfort. All has gone extremely well and he is currently having hydro-therapy to build up muscle tone. He may be suspectible to early onset arthritis going forward, but as long as his weight is managed he will lead a long (we hope) and happy life. He’s a lovely house guest and has been a total star going through his rehabilitation.

LUCERO sleeps with the other resident dogs throughout the night, very loving and biddable around the home - loves a groom and good massage! Despite his limited exercise at present, he doesn’t pull on a lead and loves the company of the slightly less bonkers resident dogs (so maybe an older resident dog required in his adoptive home). He hasn’t been cat tested, so no to cats in his new home.

His foster mum has found him the perfect guest and such a happy and loving boy must surely find his forever home soon. Travels well in the car, housetrained, calm and relaxed in the home - just a sweetie!

LUCERO is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatment and has a Spanish Passport.

BERNARD - 6 MONTHS *** NEEDS ANOTHER RESIDENT DOG ***

Romania stray, BERNARD, we believe is a springer cross. He is in foster near Grantham, Lincolnshire. He is the sweetest boy you could ever hope to meet! Quite calm for a puppy with a lovely, thick, fluffy coat. He loves everyone and everything and as you can see, he is cat friendly. Starting to walk well on a lead in the woods (and he’s only been on a lead a handful of times) and foster mum is already feeling confident that his recall is going to be good. He is very bonded with his foster mum already and just utterly thrilled to have regular meals and access to plenty of water.

He has never lived in a home before last week and still working out all the mysteries of the television, vacuum and people coming and going. He can be a little wary of men, but when you meet him out on a walk (as I have a couple of times), his enthusiasm and love for meeting new dogs and people overflows. He is a puppy and will need ongoing training for many months ahead, but I can honestly say you won’t meet a nicer puppy. He is quite big at 6 months (12 kg), so we feel he is going to be a medium sized dog when fully grown (18-20 kg at a guess).

Travels well in the car and sleeps a good 7 hours at night in the kitchen. He will need a resident dog to help him to learn how to be a family member and preferably a playful one!

BERNARD is microchipped, fully vaccinated, had recent parasite treatments, but will leave with a contract to neuter when age appropriate.

CURTIS - 5 YEARS *** GOOD TO HAVE PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOG ***

CURTIS is in foster in New Ash Green, Kent. He is a happy and loving boy in the home. He seeks you out for strokes and ear rubs and is a cuddly boy, who has realised how amazing a cuddle on the sofa can be! Outside of the house, he is very sniffy, experiencing the joys of going for a walk. He is excited to meet new people but doesn’t jump up, just wags his little bobtail and shows his beautiful smile. And what a beautiful smile it is too!

He is also very good with the fosterer’s children, so going to live in a family with children would not be an issue (over the age of 8 years). CURTIS plays well with the younger resident dog and he has also learnt quickly that the older resident dog does not want to play, so he does not bother her. Outside, he wants to play with all dogs so this will need some training as he wants to go up to every dog regardless of whether they want him to or not! CURTIS hasn’t been cat tested, so we will say no to resident cats in his adoptive home.

CURTIS has been left in the home for a couple of hours with no issues, housetrained, travels well in the car and has already mastered “sit”, “stay”, “fetch” and “come”. Recall is work in progress and his adoptive family will need to be happy to continue training. He is a major cuddle monster and will need someone around to keep him covered in cuddles, kisses and some grooming of his gorgeous, fluffy coat.

CURTIS is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatment and has a Spanish Passport.

MILLY - 1 YEAR *** NEEDS ANOTHER RESIDENT DOG ***

MILLY is in foster in Bewdley, Worcestershire and she’s looking for her forever home.

This sweet girl is happy and content in the home, although she can be a bit scared of new experiences and looks to her foster mum to guide her. She absolutely loves playing with her foster brothers and sisters. MILLY is a joy to be around! She warms up to people once she gets to know them and is relaxed with the resident dogs. Her default is beinb submissive and will lie on her back, she just needs to build up some confidence in her forever home. She plays like a puppy, bringing fun and energy to a family home.

MILLY has been left alone for up to 4 hours with the resident dogs without any issues. She’s seen horses and had no reaction and a home without resident cats would suit her. She is on a long line for walks, but comes when called, showing great potential for further training. MILLY would love a forever home with a confident resident dog to follow and play with, a family to snuggle with on the sofa and some great long walks in the countryside. As she has some confidence to find, a quiet-ish home that’s not too busy would be ideal. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and easy-going companion, Milly could be the perfect addition to your family!

She is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, had recent parasite treatments and a Spanish Passport.

LARA - 4 YEARS *** NEEDS A FEMALE RESIDENT DOG ***

The pretty LARA is in foster in Holland on Sea, Essex. LARA is a lovely friendly dog, who arrived very skinny but instantly loving. She craves human company over dogs and has greeted every human she has met in a friendly manner. She loves cuddles, a stroke and brushing. Food is eaten rapidly and although she does look at the resident dogs food, she does not try to eat it unless it is unattended. She will counter-surf is anything is left out, but gets down when told to and she eyes up the human dinners too, but again gives up when told its not hers.

LARA follows foster Mum around the house very closely and gets a little worried if she “disappears”, but quickly settles once she knows where she is. In her first few days in foster, she had separation anxiety, barking anytime she was left, but foster Mum can now leave the house alone to go shopping by announcing this. This will need continued training and consistency going forward. When foster Mum is “shopping” she now waits patiently by the door for her return (observed on security cam). She didn’t know how to play when she arrived and was initially fearful of resident dogs attempts to get her to play. She quickly learnt that ripping stuffed toys to shreds was fun, as is playing tug and ball chasing. Flyball might be good for her.

LARA loves walks on the beach and although she is can pull a little, she can also walk nicely on the lead. She does have the spaniel tendency to zigzag and stop right in front of you, so can be a bit of a trip hazard sometimes. Foster Mum has been using a long lead to give her a bit of freedom and try to learn recall but there are just so many birds on the beach to chase. She is learning that “leave it”, “come” means come back to foster Mum, but if the birds are just too tempting it’s a bit hit and miss. Lara is also a bit of a waterbaby – leaping into the sea without reservation.

She meets dogs nicely, curiously, if the dog is a dog (boy) or it tries to sneakily sniff her backside she can have a little snap, she prefers bitches. Foster mum said “I can’t imagine why this dog was abandoned as she has been so sweet - so nearly a failed foster”!

LARA is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, had recent parasite treatment and a Spanish Passport.

MORRIS - 3 YEARS *** needs another playful resident dog ***

MORRIS is in foster in Rugby, Warwickshire. We will start off with “MORRIS LOVES having other dogs around to play with, learn from and for the company”. He is a very sweet, gentle and loving breton, who we found in a perrera in Spain, we presume dumped by a hunter. MORRIS loves a cuddle, but wary of being picked up at this stage, he just freezes and is obviously waiting for some abuse. This will need an empathetic and patient family to help build up his confidence and give him lots of new, positive aspects to being picked up. He’s not a great stairs navigator either! He can get up, but struggles to get down the stairs.

MORRIS can be scared of meeting other dogs when out and about, but his foster mum is currently working on desensitisation (which will need to be continued following her methods). There is no aggression, just fear, poor boy. He is currently walked every day in different environments and getting used to seeing more dogs and interacting on different levels. He has observed cats and squirrels and is curious, but not reactive. He hasn’t been exposed to living with cats though.

He is great in the foster home, very chilled and behaves well. He is very friendly to guests and gives everyone a lovely welcome and a waggy tail. In new environments, he is curious and will stop to check out his surroundings, but once assessed, he is happy to move on. He is very excited at meal times and pacing around the kitchen, but again, he is getting great support and help from his foster mum, but work in progress!

He is a young breton that is learning how to live in a home with his fellow canines and humans and doing so well, but will need continued training with recall and building up confidence in new situations. If you are willing to help him over the coming months, you will receive a huge amount of love and appreciation from him.

MORRIS is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatment and a Spanish Passport.

DINKS - 1 YEAR *** NEEDS ANOTHER PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOG ***

DINKS is in foster in Chippenham, Wiltshire. He is a lovely young breton boy, still has puppy traits; jumping, mouthing, and has learnt to counter surf!! But he’s so keen to please, loves people, dogs and cuddles on the sofa! Instantly friendly with people and dogs alike and has a long list of situations where he is happy; lead walking, grooming, cuddled and picked up, interaction with older children. The foster parents do have chickens in a fenced off area, but apparently DINKS hasn’t been too bothered with them. DINKS loves playing with the resident dogs, but is respectful if they don’t want to.

House training is virtually there, but he does need reminding! Happy to share chews, food and toys with the other resident dog. He is a happy traveller and jumps straight into the car. He has mastered “sit” and “come”, but as a youngster, will need continued training going forward.

DINKS has good recall in the park and very biddable generally. He will need another playful resident dog in his adoptive home to help show him family protocols, as well as a buddy!

DINKS is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatments and a Spanish Passport.

LINUS - 9 YEARS *** NEEDS OLDER/QUIETER RESIDENT DOG(S) ***

LINUS is an American Cocker that was found abandoned in a perrera in Sevilla. He is in foster near Spalding, Lincolnshire. He was in a terrible state when we rescued him. His fur was very matted, he had ear and eye infections, but we worked methodically to get him feeling better. His foster mum has been diligent on administering artificial tears to his eyes, which he will need for the rest of his life, together with optimmune. We have cleared up his ear infections. It has left him with compromised eye sight after years without treatment. He relies on his nose, but quite happy in the garden to wander about. He knows his name and comes when called.

LINUS is very happy around the foster home and is so entertaining; he has a huge character for a small spaniel. Bedtime he sleeps by foster mum’s bed in his own little bed, goes in it when told, sleeps all night. He is very food driven and will beg given half a chance, so on going training needed. House training is nearly there, its only the rare accident now. Travels well in the car and behaved impeccably at his vet appointments. Doesn’t pull on a lead and loves his rural walks with the rest of the resident dogs. He will need another resident dog(s) to help guide him out on walks and in the home due to eye sight and companionship.

He loves people, does like a cuddle in the evenings. LINUS is happy to greet people strange or otherwise, likes to let them know he is there! You couldn't wish for a happIer little chap, very funny, those big eyes, you would forgive him anything!

LINUS is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, had recent parasite treatments and has a Spanish Passport.

VIENTO - 18 MONTHS *** NEEDS ANOTHER RESIDENT DOG ***

Small breton, VIENTO is in foster in Cheltenham and made himself very much at home! Relinquished by a hunter in Spain, he came to us with another young boy.

He is living with 3 other resident dogs and loves to have the company, so will need another youngish resident dog in his adoptive home. He is instantly friendly meeting new people and other dogs and just a very happy, little soul. VIENTO is a young breton and whilst his foster mum has started some training with him, he will need continued training and plenty of exercise alongside the training. Recall is good unless there is obvious prey, but he is off leash on most walks and comes when whistled, but needs to be kept an eye on, but he is very treat led. Foster mum walks mostly on heathland and the gorse bushes with rabbits popping up can cause recall challenges! He is happy to share toys, chews and food with the resident dogs, but not been cat tested, so we will say no to cats in an adoptive home.

VIENTO is housetrained and been left with the resident dogs for 3 hours with no issues. He jumps straight in the car and travels well. Loves a cuddle and being around people. Would make a perfect candidate for cani-cross, agility, mantrailing etc.

VIENTO is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatments and has a Spanish Passport.

LINDA/LINDY - 2 YEARS *** HAPPY AS ONLY DOG ***

LINDA came into the UK from Spain in June 2024 and in foster in Tamworth, Staffordshire. Such a pretty little girl who just wants to be someone's companion. She gives the best cuddles and likes to be near you during the day. Loves her food, but has excellent food manners.

Housetrained and loves to play with her teddys and toys in the house and garden. She arrived a very busy little breton, but foster mum has worked hard to overcome and time has helped. She is now relaxed in the home and garden and becoming more settled in outdoor spaces. LINDA has only been allowed off lead in secure fields and this girl likes to run. She will only come back when she is ready. But will keep running back towards or around you.

She lives with the resident dogs happily, but does not really interact when out on a walk with them or when meeting other dogs, so we are happy to say she can be adopted as an only resident dogs.

LINDA has been left for up to 3 hours with no issues. She is a real cuddle monster and loves to have human companionship. Her party trick is to place her ball on your lap (subtle hint!). She is a young, intelligent girl who will need an experienced spaniel/hpr owner to continue all the excellent work her foster mum has put into LINDA.

She is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, had recent parasite treatment and a Spanish Passport.
