Meet the Dogs!
Benji
Benji is a stunning looking boy, he does have a bit of a sensitive side and it took him a couple of days to come around but once bonded he is an affectionate dog with a peaceful soul.
He did have some issues in his previous home and was a bit protective of his owner so Benji will need ongoing work to teach him to share and cannot have children in the home.
He does have some good manners in place and has nice social skills around other dogs and could live with a female dog.
Contact us to find out how to adopt Benji!
Ricky
Ricky is a gentle and affectionate dog who enjoys snuggling up to people for a fuss. He is happiest when he has company so has found being in the kennel environment a bit stressful.
Ricky is looking for a home with owners who will be home most of the day and are happy to put in the time and dedication in teaching him how to relax when he is left alone.
Ricky has shown some nice social skills with dogs and could possibly live with a sociable steady dog that could act as a good role model but also be happy to engage in some calm play sessions.

Terri
Terri is an affectionate lady with a worried side who is looking for new owners with experience of owning anxious dogs themselves before.
A nervous lady, Terri has struggled with being handled at times and will need a calm, confident approach to not put too much pressure on her while she settles. Due to her worried side, she will need to live
in an adult only home away from children, and is not necessarily a family dog that will enjoy a cuddle. Terri does enjoy being with her people once she has bonded, but she will need time to work on this in
her new home. She is happy to explore on her walks but can be anxious about fast movement, and noise, and so will need quiet walks - she is equally happy to have a snooze on her bed at home!
She would be best suited as the only dog in the home. She should be socialised regularly with steady walking buddies who can guide her in the right direction and help to build her confidence, as she does not
have much experience with them.

Why Adopt?
Because You'll save a life
The number one reason to adopt a dog is that you will be saving their life. Many shelters are overflowing with dogs and cats, they sometimes have to turn away animals simply because they do not have enough room. So when you adopt your dog, another one can take its place.
It will change your life too
Dogs have a way of stealing our hearts with one look of those big brown eyes! Dogs have a way of keeping us healthy and active. If you have had a bad day, a dog can make you smile and they have been proven to reduce stress in humans.
It is less expensive
All dogs are worthy of our love and affection, however buying from a breeder or a pet shop is expensive and can cost upwards of £500-£1000. We charge only £200 for a beautiful dog that is completely up to date with vaccinations, and has been spayed/neutered and micro-chipped.
Unconditional Love
Dogs know when they've been saved from terrible situations. Your dog will be forever grateful and offer you love even when you have a bad day, even if you cheat on him and pet another dog, and even if you accidentally yell at him for getting in the way.
