Molly
Molly is a Lab X collie and is 8 yrs old, vacc, microchipped, spayed. She has not lived with children but is very good with visiting grandchildren. She is good with people but does rush up barking when people come in not in a nasty way but if ignored she settles quickly. She can also do this when people leave. Doesn't like the postman. She is not good with dogs since being attacked by one so now is on the defence. She will go for motorbikes, cars when out. Doesn't like balloons. Travels well and is fairly obedient. Does pull on a lead so halti used. Can be left for few hours with no problems. She is fed on Butchers. Allergic to wheat. Likes Jerky!
Renko
Renko is about 1 year old and is a Labrador X. He is an affectionate dog, very friendly with everyone, and being a youngster he is quite a lively fellow. He has'nt had much attention in his previous home and would benefit by training classes. Would suit an active family with children 8+.
Janey
Janey is the most friendly and docile Labrador X you could ever wish to meet. She is so easy going she is going to slot into her new home with ease. Janey was found straying along with another dog and both were unclaimed. Janey is probably around 2 years old and a real little treasure.
Dora & Roxie
These two lovely girls are looking for a very kind and patient home. Dora & Roxie are 3 year old Lab X sisters. They were found tied to someone's gate when they were pups. They kept them but didn't have a clue about their needs and kept them locked up in a very small space. They weren't walked or socialised much and as you can imagine were very nervous when first coming into the rescue. They are getting braver with every day and with time, patience and kindness these two sweet girls will blossom. Dora is jet black and is the shyer of the two. Roxie has a reddish shine on the coat and is a little more outgoing. The will need a home with people who can give them time, love and commitment. They will be worth every effort. Both girls will be spayed and vaccinated before rehoming.
Samba
Samba is a 15 month old LabradorXCollie bitch she has been living with a family with young children and has always shown a lovely nature towards them, unfortunately ill health in the family has forced them to look to rehome Samba. Samba is good with other dogs and loves to play. She is a bit gready at feed time and will try to eat other dogs meal as well as her own but apart from this she is a lovely dog looking for a good family home.Samba is spayed and vaccinated.
Sockie
This is Sockie an 18 month old Labrador X. Sadly his family have emigrated to Australia and Sockie is in need of a new family home. He has lived with four young children and is a nice tempered dog. Good with other dogs and people.
Sidney
Sidney is a small Labrador x Ridgeback, male aged about 18 months. He hasn't had the best start to life and has suffered neglect and frustration in his previous home. Due to the lack of exercise and attention Sidney had become an escape artist at his previous home. In a proper home where he is walked regularly and trained he would make a wonderful loving companion and wouldn’t feel the need to escape because he would be happy. I cannot stress enough to people what a horrid start this dog has had! I have been walking Sidney regularly and although he pulls hard on the lead he is learning not to pull so much. All he needs is a decent owner that will play with him, train him and give him the level of exercise he needs, and teach him what is allowed and what isn’t. He has a very loving nature once he gets over his initial excitement. We need that one special person who is willing to give Sidney the chance he deserves to lead a normal doggy life. Are you the one? You will need a secure garden with at least a 5 foot fence, to be able to give him at least two good walks a day and will need to attend obedience classes. Sidney would probably be fantastic at agility. A few weeks in a good home would make such a difference to this dogs life. If you think you can help then please call us as soon as possible.
Copper
This is a photo of Copper as he arrived at the rescue so he is looking a little frightened and not at his best. Copper is a 1 year old male Labrador X. He is a lovely boy, very friendly but a little timid and much better looking than the photo shows. He is good with other dogs and loves to be with people. Needs a kind and gentle home.
Winnie
Winnie is a 2 year old Labrador X bitch. A lovely gentle girl who is excellent with people and good with other dogs. She is spayed and vaccinated and for some unknown reason her tail has been docked!
Roland
Roland is a lovely 6 year old yellow Labrador. He is a friendly affectionate dog that enjoys a game. He is great in the house and will happily sit and watch the telly snuggled up by your feet. Roland is not good with other male dogs and needs a home with people who are experienced with this problem. In return for your understanding you will get his unequivocal love and devotion.
Sharley
Sharley is a 2 year old Labrador bitch. She is a tall girl that has had some training and is good with other dogs. She is a happy friendly girl, good with everyone she meets. For some reason her tail has been docked. Sharley will make a super family dog.
