Dogs urgently needing homes

Here is a list of some of the dogs needing homes at the moment. If you feel you might be able to offer one of them a suitable home, please read our policy first click here for details and then contact the Area Co-ordinator mentioned for your area, click here for details.

These are only some of the dogs awaiting homes, do make sure you are registered with us to receive details of a dog that might suit your home.

Tikka & Fluppet Tikka and Fluppet are mother and daughter. Tikka is the 4 year old affectionate mother. She is spayed, and described as a gentle girl with a wonderful temperament. She is the usual greedy Labrador and could do with a weight watchers class! Fluppet is the 16 months old daughter and a typical youngster needing to learn some manners. She has her mother's lovely nature and with a good training class will become an absolute treasure. She is strong on the lead and will need this addressing straight away.

Jocey & Ollie Jocey & Ollie are mother and son. Jocey is a 7 year old yellow bitch and Ollie is a 3 year old black Labrador. Jocey is a happy loving girl and has lived with children aged 7 and 8 and has a true Labrador sweet nature. She has had a couple of litters of pups (the last being two years ago). Jocey is an easy dog without any issues and would be happy in any loving home. Ollie is a lively boy and does tend to try and hog the limelight from his mum. He needs some basic training but is house trained and is to his credit a lovely friendly boy with no bad bones! He has had little experience of the outside world and we don't know how he will be when meeting other dogs. Ollie has also lived with children 7, 8 & 9 years of age and also has a lovely temperament. A rural location would be ideal for these dogs but certainly with someone who is prepared to put in a bit of time training Ollie.

Coco & Daisy Coco and Daisy are two young (under 2 year old) LabradorXCollies. They are two sweet girls, good with other dogs, very submissive. They have always lived outside so will need to be house trained. Suitable with children 8+

Sonya Sonya is a 14 month old LabradorXStaffi. Sonya is good in the house and good with people and dogs and knows several commands. She is gentle with children but because she can be dominant sometimes with young children we think she would best suit a family with children 10+. Sonya has attended training classes and has benefitted from them but she does still have recall problems. Sonya has recently been spayed and this could make a difference to her but we will happily offer help to overcome this problem. Sonya is vaccinated and chipped.

Tess Tess is a 6 month old Labrador X German Shepherd. Her mother was a lovely gentle black Labrador and the father was next doors handsome German Shepherd. She is everything you would expect from a six month old pup and does need a home willing to take her to training classes. She is currently in a foster home with another young dog and is thoroughly enjoying his company so she would clearly make a lovely second dog. Tess is vaccinated.

Cobh This is 1 year old Cobh (His name comes from the place in Ireland where he was found). He loves having his tummy rubbed and he loves to snuggle down with you in the evening. He loves playing games and one of his favourite games is 'chase me to get the tea towel back’!!! Cobh needs an experienced home where he can learn what is right and what is wrong. He is being a bit of a typical “teenager” and is pushing his boundaries. He will bark for attention and will want you to play with him all the time. He is a lovely dog, and when he’s good, he is very good, but he has typically “mad” moments when he wants things his way and he needs an experienced home that will be able to teach him some manners. He would be ideal as a second dog as he would love a chum to play with. He is a very bright dog, but can get easily bored if his mind is not “engaged”, consequently he has chewed his way through a couple of dog beds and various so called non destructible dog toys. He is however very quick and eager to learn and will benefit from being taken to training classes and would be great for an agility or fly ball class. He has recently been castrated and this may help in time to calm his enthusiasm and help him settle down.

Buster Buster is a young 9 month old Labrador. He need a home with a family willing to continue his training and take him to classes. Suitable with children 12+. Buster is a lovely energetic boy who needs an active home. He has a lot to offer the right people. At the moment he is not too good with other dogs but we are working on that with him. He is neutered and vaccinated.

Lady Lady is only 9 months old and is a very sweet little girl who needs someone to take her under their wing and give her some training. She loves children, so would be suitable for a family with children 8+. She gets excited when other dogs are around and just wants to go and play with them, so she would make an excellent second dog. We think Lady would love attending and be good at agility classes. She has a lot to offer and with time and patience Lady will be a cracking little girl.

Bobby Bobby is a Labrador X approx 2 years old. He is a lively lad that enjoys good walks and is good with other dogs. He does pull on the lead so will need some further training but Bobby has a nice character and will make a great family dog. Needs to be an active family, with older children 8+ and who are happy put in some time training him. Bobby is vaccinated.

Pup We have a 12 week old Labrador X male pups that we are looking for a special home for. It needs to be a home where someone is at home during the day and with people who are happy to attend training classes with this little chap. Pup is vaccinated.

Skip Skip is a 5yr old castrated yellow male Labrador. He is vaccinated and has his own Pet Passport. He was originally rehomed from a shelter in Cyprus four years ago by his current owner and he now lives with 8 other dogs and a number of cats in France. He loves people and although his current owners do not have children he is good and can be trusted around children. When his owners go out, Skip is kennelled outside as he does get stressed or bored and will chew things when he is left. Skip is a possessive dog with regards to food and toys, and where the other dogs he lives with are concerned this has sometimes caused problems. His owners try to feed him away from the other dogs but there have been occurrences where food, or even a stick or toy has been the cause of a fight. His owners have been able to control the situation so far, but feel that if there was only one of them around and a fight were to start, with such a large number of dogs involved the situation could get out of hand. His owner tells us she is able to take food from him and anything else, and although he doesn’t respond to training aids such as 'Mickey discs' or water spray bottles he will take notice when she has used a citronella spray collar. He is house trained and is very clean indoors. He uses the dog flap. Although his owners have plenty of space for their dogs to run around in, Skip actually prefers to be walked on the lead; he gets very excited when he sees the lead come out. Skip will need a very special home where he is the only dog, and with lots of outdoor space. He will need experienced owners who can work with him to help him overcome his separation issues. Skip will be arriving here at the end of February if a suitable home is found.
