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.

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.

MALKA - 9 YEARS *** HAPPY AS ONLY DOG ***

MALKA, a English Springer Spaniel is in foster in Wooler, Northumberland. She is house trained, a quiet little girl, who likes humans more than dogs and women over men. Her biggest joy are her walks and loves the beach and water. Such a good girl, no pulling on her lead. She is calm and gentle and her foster parents have yet to hear her bark!

Instantly friendly with strangers, not been cat tested. She would be fine as an only dog, especially with a woman adopter, but has been happy around the fosterer’s resident dogs. Mastered “sit” and “come”, recall is fine in the garden, but typical spaniel; nose down, ears closed! Mild anxiety on being left, but this is improving as she settling. She would like someone around most of the time.

Travels well in the car and loves a cuddle. Foster mum says; “not a mean bone in her body and really coming out of her shell since she arrived 6 weeks ago”.

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

MAVIS - 20 MONTHS *** NEEDS ANOTHER PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOG ***

MAVIS, springer spaniel is in foster in Guildford, Surrey. She exhibits puppy/adolescent behaviours, mostly to get attention, like mouthing, jumping up, muscling in on interactions with other dogs, occasional wees in the house when she gets too excited. Foster mum is working on all of the above and she is learning quickly.

She is VERY energetic and enthusiastic and has a strong prey drive - her adopter must have a real commitment to training and exercise. She needs a rural environment with space to run safely. The positives are that she is very bright, willing to learn, and picks things up really quickly. She is also utterly adorable. She loves everyone and every dog and is needy for love and companions. The less positive is that she is not able to moderate her enthusiasm and energy yet and goes at everything at a hundred miles an hour, getting more and more hyper. She is being a puppy/adolescent at the moment, now she doesn't need to concentrate on survival. She is obsessed with food and scavenges constantly. In the garden she will even bite moss out of the grass, pick up and chew bits of wood, seed pods, etc etc. So she is a bit at risk of eating something risky.

MAVIS is friendly with other dogs but ignores 'go away' signals from them. She really needs a dog who will play with her. The resident dog would also assist with her integration into a family environment, another dog that she can follow for guidance. Left with resident dogs for 3 hours with no issues. Food and treats: she needs to eat alone or she will steal the other dogs' food. Small treats are fine with other dogs around (she will try to get it before they do) but anything that lasts for a while she needs to be separated or she will steal. She is obsessed with food and anything she might be able to eat. Recall: she has good recall in the garden, to voice or whistle and foster mum has started to let her off lead on short walks to test further recall.

MAVIS is vaccinated, spayed, had recent parasite treatment 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.

KIARA - 5 YEARS

*** happy as only dog with someone around most of the day***

Cute little KIARA is in foster in Boston, Lincolnshire. Foster mum says she’s a super loving girl, who just loves to be with people all the time. She will jump up and press herself against you just to feel love. She doesn't like to be left and has destroyed a bed and shoe when left for 4 hours. She will also steal anything left within reach on a worktop (tea towels, oven gloves, food etc). But foster mum has worked her magic and tapped into her needs. They have been now been leaving her with chew toys (kong etc) bones or buffalo horn, which does work. KIARA is housetrained already.

Instantly friendly with people, loves to be picked up, stroked, cuddled, groomed. Not been cat tested. This little girl is a beautiful soul. She just wants to be loved. She has a tragic history of losing her owner in Spain and being discarded by the family. She has previously had a broken back femur which has been pinned, but this doesn't stop her from any activity. We have had a vet check in the UK together with xrays to confirm all is well.

She will sit at your feet and stare up at you ... and into your soul.

Her recall is a work in progress, sometimes excellent, but if there's another dog or anything more interesting she pretends she can't hear. She doesn't tend to go too far away though. She is a very loving, quite easy going girl. She is happiest with people. She will happily sit beside you and stare lovingly at you in exchange for a head scratch. She will be happy as an only dog as long as someone is around much of the day.

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

TOM - 8 YEARS *** LONG TERM FOSTERER REQUIRED ***

TOM is in foster in Shifnal, Shropshire. Foster mum is in love! He was exited from a Spanish perrera. He is a lovely little Breton, who is confident and outgoing. He’s very intelligent and has come on really well since he arrived. He has elbow dysplasia in all 4 legs with a bit of arthritis and vet advice is that he shouldn’t go on very long walks. The vet did not recommend surgery and Tom is currently on metacam and taking Yumove. He does not seem affected by the elbow dysplasia and although he does have a bit of a limp, it does not stop him from doing anything!

He is happy with everyone! Instantly friendly meeting people and lives with residents dogs with no issues. He’s not cat tested, however he does have a prey drive especially for birds and squirrels, so we won’t recommend cats in the house. TOM gets on well with the resident dogs. When he first arrived he didn’t really interact with them, but equally wasn’t bothered by them. He interacts with them a bit more now as one of the pack, but is equally happy doing his own thing. We would be looking for a foster home with quieter or older resident dogs.

TOM can be a bit growly when he is playing with a toy and one of the others goes up to him and tries to play with him/the toy, but this is a warning only. At meal times, he eats very quickly, but has progressed from a slow feeder bowl to a normal bowl. He doesn’t push the others out of the way or take their food from them unless they leave them food bowls unattended! He has been off lead in a secure dog field and his recall does need some work especially because of his high prey drive. He comes when called in the foster home and especially will come back quickly for treats/squeaky toy!

TOM is a loving, gentle soul who would like a foster home for the rest of his days where he can enjoy a quiet home with some good walks and lots of attention. He is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent flea treatment and has a Spanish Passport.

ROXY - 5 YEARS *** NEEDS ANOTHER RESIDENT DOG ***

ROXY was found as a stray on the streets of Spain and came under our care last month. She is in foster in Swineshead, Boston, Lincolnshire. She is a curious, confident, playful girl. She’s a friendly pup, who likes a gentle touch and a her tummy stroked. However, her foster family have found that she may cry out if unsure as to whether she will be hurt. As the weeks have progressed in foster, she is learning that human touch isn’t to be feared …. the foster family haven’t rushed her to do anything out of her comfort zone. She will need an empathetic and nurturing family to help build up her confidence going forward.

Instantly friendly meeting new people and happy to approach people for a gentle stroke. She was a star on New Years Eve when we had family over. ROXY is housetrained and has relaxed really well into her foster home. She will need another resident dog to help guide her and she can learn from over the coming months. ROXY does like a good play with another dog too. She is learning to walk well on a lead and loves to play ball in the garden. She’s not overly keen on going out into the garden if it’s snowing!

ROXY is very good at night and settles after her last walk, sleeping on her own downstairs until we get up in the morning around 7 am. She travels well in the car, but because she’s a small girl, foster mum has to lift her in. She’s not big enough for counter surfing, but she enjoys her food so can be a bit of a thief. She has been left with the resident dog for up to 1 1/2 hours several times and she settles but you are greeted with a very excited little breton upon return!

ROXY is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, had recent parasite treatment and 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.

JUNO - 7-9 YEARS *** would like a female resident dog ***

Happy and curious are JUNO’s main traits. He is in foster in Leicester and ready for his forever home. Don’t be fooled by his age, his passport has him aged at 10, but we feel he is younger. He was found in a horrendous state in the campo in Spain, but has definitely turned a corner in foster. Quickly learnt to go out and is now housetrained. Foster mum says he is very loving and seeks cuddles all the time, hoovers his food up in record time and now started to fill out and getting some coverage on his emaciated hips and ribs.

JUNO is a strong little breton and still has lots of interest and excitement about life. He has attached himself to his foster mum and follows her around like a shadow. Jumps into the car happily and travels well. Can sometimes bark at oncoming dogs on the walks, but settles when he meets them. No issues when off lead. He has been left for 3 hours with the other resident dogs with no issues.

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

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

LINDA came into the UK from Spain in June 2024. She is a very sweet, loving small breton, who had anxiety and overactive behaviours, so moved to an experienced fosterer to give her the best guidance and support. Foster mum has worked hard to overcome these issues 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 has a high prey drive and will spin and sometimes bark if they run. Again, foster mum has worked with this and she will now sit and observe birds & squirrels and can be distracted with food. She lives with the resident dogs happily, but does not really interact when out on a walk with them or when meeting other dogs.

LINDA has been left for up to 3 hours with no issues. She jumps happily into the car and travels well. 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!). Foster mum feels she would do better on her own in a home, she is ok with resident dogs, but does not follow or learn from them. Very much does her own thing. 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.

CURRO - 1 YEAR *** NEEDS A RESIDENT DOG ***

Prepare to fall in love with this little breton. CURRO is still a baby, can occasionally be a bit mouthy, but loves being in a home and receiving lots of attention. Currently in foster in Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire. He is happy with all the resident dogs and loves to play with them, but his second greatest love is ball throwing and would love a family willing to fulfil his needs! He is very food orientated and gets very excited when its feeding time, so will be perfect for ongoing training. Foster mum says; “He does try and counter surf but as he is on the small side he cannot reach anything. He loves human contact and likes to rest next to one. CURRO is a friendly boy with all other dogs he has met and loves his doggy housemates. It is very important that any potential adopters are willing to continue training. He also needs a human to bond with”.

CURRO has only been off leash in the fields or dog park. He is so excited to be able to race around that he takes his time to come back. CURRO needs to be treated like the young dog he is and needs to continue his training and maybe find an activity where he can channel his energy. CURRO needs a playmate for company, play and to learn how to behave in a family unit. Just a baby needing guidance and love. You will find a fabulous family member in CURRO if you follow that path.

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