OPTION 1: If you have already registered with us by filling in our application form AND you have been home-checked by one of our volunteers Rehoming has already restarted and is going well! We’re delighted to share that SIX dogs have already been rehomed since we lifted the restriction on rehoming on the 1st June. You can find the dogs we have up for adoption below. OPTION 2: If you have NOT REGISTERED with us by filling in our application form We are now ready to open-up to new applications. You can find the application form HERE. The health and wellbeing of our dogs and our volunteers is at the heart of our organisation. PLEASE NOTE: the guidelines may change without notice to keep in step with government policy, so do please keep checking back to our website. The lockdown also means we are keeping dogs for longer in foster or in some cases kennels, which is adding to our costs. And of course, we are unable to do our usual fundraising at fairs and dog events. You can help us by making a donation. Click the button below to see how you can help

Max's CV: Hi there My names Max and I’m 8 months old. I’m cute and cuddly, however, I’m at that age where I think I’m the boss and the house should follow my rules! Apparently this is not what my foster mum thinks! I pull like a train on the lead because I’m so excited to get to where we’re going. This excitement also means I don’t listen for my name and don’t come back when shouted. I love my foster doggy sister and I really want her to love me too, but she’s not keen on my boisterousness (she’s old) so she tells me off - a lot! I’d love to live somewhere I gets lots of love and play time, but my foster mum says I need a very experienced someone who understands pushy cockers and is going to carry on teaching me “rules”!

Coco's CV: My name is Coco and I'm the most adorable spaniel I know! My most favourite things are cuddles, tennis balls, carrots and cuddles. I'm a bit overweight but my foster mum has put me on a diet. I mostly do as I'm told but I can be stubborn sometimes. My foster mum says that I'm good at basic commands but I need to work a bit harder on recall. I think it would be best that my new home doesn't have children under 10 because I get a little overexcited sometimes and I need someone to tell me to calm down. I've been told the area I most need to work on is my reaction to other dogs. I walk really well on the lead with a head collar but when I see another dog I can't decide if I want to play with them, bark and growl at them or run away from them. I admit this gets me in quite a tizz and my foster mum has to work hard to distract me. I need someone who has the patience to work with me to help me overcome this and I need a home with no other animals. I need someone who is experienced with springer spaniels and who will help me be the best spaniel I can be. In return I will give cuddles...lots and lots of cuddles. If there's anyone out there who would like a snuggle pup friend who is eager to learn then I'm your gal.......did someone say cuddles???!!!

Sam's CV: Hello, I am Sam a Sprollie who is rising eighteen months. My foster carers say I am a very handsome boy and that they have rarely come across a dog that needs so much love shown to him but gives it back in bucketloads. Let me tell you about my problems before I boast a bit about my good points. I am nervous by nature but have learnt that there is lots of fun to be had out in the big bad world. I can now walk past dogs without barking and lunging at them. I’ve stopped nipping at cars, pulling strongly on the lead and barking at everyone. Calmness is the key. I chase cats and rabbits but haven’t met sheep, deer, cattle or horses. I do not like people coming up to me to say hello. In the house though I welcome everyone with one of my toys. Getting in to a car frightens me but once I am in, I travel really well and quietly. I usually just curl up and go to sleep. The hoover scares me too but I am much better now and as long as my foster Mum is between me and the hoover I tolerate that noisy thing. When I am excited I can sometimes do a Springer sprinkle but that isn’t very often. Again calmness from those about me is the key. Now for some boasting. I do not go up on furniture, I do not go upstairs, I sleep through the night in my own bed in a different room from my foster Mum and Dad. I sit, lie down, stay and give a paw when asked. My recall is first class as are my ball and frisbee skills. I can do lots of party tricks but my foster Mum says I get too excited when I do them. I am a very clean dog and enjoy being groomed. I do not beg for food but am happy when given a treat and take it gently . I am polite and sit and stay for my meals until I am given the command to start eating. I ask out when I need to spend a penny and as yet have not learnt to lift my leg. I am very friendly in the safety of the home and garden and have learnt to stay when the doorbell rings and allow my foster Mum to go to the door. She then introduces me to her friends. I love children.I give whatever I am holding in my mouth when asked. I don’t steal although I love it when my foster Mum is cooking and she lets me have a piece of vegetable, fruit or cheese. I am full of love and like to be close to someone but I am also happy to be left alone in the house for a few hours. A chew and music keeps me happy. I give a wonderful welcome when my Foster Mum and Dad come back home. I love being with them and I know they adore me. My ideal home would be one in the country without a dog or cat. I am certainly not a town dog.My new family would be calm, firm and loving yet energetic and sporty as being a Springer /Collie mix I need a great deal of exercise.Runners, cyclists, hill walkers would be great. I would prefer not to have very young children because they can be unpredictable and could surprise me.Most of all though I need to be loved and to feel calm, protected, cared for, reassured and secure. Is there a family out there looking for me? I have so much love to give you.
