Maltese - female
Daisy is a very sweet lovable girl. She's relatively tiny only weighing approx 3-3.5 kilos, making her very easy to pick up and cuddle. She can be a little shy to start with, but before long she's following you around, trying to see what your doing, or rolling over for tummy rubs. She's fine with other small dogs but we don't think she is dependant on another canine for her happiness, so a home with another small dog or without is fine. She loves humans and can get quite excited when you get home dancing round in circles. She's not a fussy eater and is a very placid sweet girl.
Daisy was adopted on 12 November 2009 after 1 month in foster care
Labrador - male
Teddie is a beautiful, placid and gentle boy. Having been neglected for the past year, he has piled on the weight and his coat was very dry and dull. Since he came into care, he is slowly losing the weight and his coat is glorious and shining. With a vast improvement in the quality of his food, and soft bedding, lots of TLC and trips to the dog park, Teddie has really come out of his shell. He is very friendly, loves adults and kids and follows his foster carer around continually. He shows complete disinterest in anything feline. He walks very well on lead, is perfectly housetrained and typically Labrador, loves his water. After a long walk he will come home and usually place his paws one at a time in his water bowl. He is non-destructive, having not ripped anything apart, he usually has a toy or a ball in his mouth when he greets you at the door. The only concern I have for him is that he is quite anxious when he is first left alone, regardless of how many canine companions he has with him, how many toys are left with him or how long a walk he goes on in the morning, but this is becoming under control, the new owner will need some patience in this area. This boy will only go to a home who can truly appreciate this most precious young fella.

Fawn Pug - male
Do you love curly tails that wag non stop and squashed faces that sneeze lovingly onto you? Do you appreciate snorting, snuffling and lots of kisses? Have you had experience with short snouted breeds that require special attention? Are you up for the challenge of toilet training a stubborn pug? Then Milo may be the little man for you! He is a loving, bossy little man that gets on well with other dogs when he remembers his manners and who absolutely LOVES people. He will happily follow you around the house asking for pats and then sneakily run off to pee on your cupboards. If you are willing to spend time teaching Milo how to live indoors, be toilet trained and have him as part of your family, please contact us to have a chat! Milo is a healthy, fawn coloured little man. Previous pug owners please apply!

Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog (x?) - female
Zara is typical of the breed - being alert and active, she needs regular exercise and stimulation. Luckily, she LOVES a game of FETCH so wearing her out is easy. Zara is quite rank driven so she is good with other dogs as long as the hierarchy is clear. For this reason we would also recommend an experienced owner who can display clear leadership. Zara has had basic obedience training (SIT, COME, HEEL, STAY) and is keen to please. She is fine with older children (say 10+) but a little too excitable for the littlies. Zara has good manners with food.

Samoyed - male
Snowy has been surrendered into care due to owners ill health. He has grown up with small children and loves to play. He has been allowed indoors, but did sleep outside in his previous home. He is proving to be house trained, and will start sleeping inside now that he is in foster care. Snowy has recently been clipped by the family in an attempt to manage his coat. Please note we do NOT encourage any Samoyed to be clipped. Snowy is a happy social boy that loves people and other dogs. He is cuddly and loving in nature. He is not barky and is happy to be with you or another dog. He has been in a family environment and has also grown up with an older Rough Collie. Snowy has passed his temperament tests and will now proceed with his vet work and checks. Snowy is looking for a home where there will be another dog to play with to keep him company or where some one is home for him to cuddle, such as a part time worker or someone retired. He is a very social puppy and loves attention.
Please email us for our expression of interest questionnaire to be forwarded to you if you think you can give Snowy a permanent home.
