Luca was found as a puppy in a field in Ukraine, running around starving, he grew up in shelter after shelter and a few months ago finally escaped to the UK. Luca is a very special soul, once he gets to know you, and bonds with you, he gives you his entire heart. He can be worried of strangers, and although he says hi, he can still be very worried at first. Luca will need a calm and quiet home with another dog and a very set routine. Luca prefers females so cannot go to a male only household, though he does live happily and comfortable in a home with a male, the primary carer must be female. Luca needs someone with a lot of love and a lot of patience to take the time to get to know him and make him feel at home. Luca is desperate to be more confident and to be friends with everyone, he has come on in leaps and bounds since arriving in the UK, and has now made lots of solid human friends – he looks to his human for confidence and reassurance and you can see how hard he’s trying. In his foster home, he gets excited in the morning and jumps into bed, snuggles up and rolls over for belly rubs. When he’s happy and excited, he loves to roll around in blankets and duvets. He absolutely loves to run in an open field! Luca found his feet in a home quickly, his favourite place is the sofa. He absolutely adores the attention of his human once he bonds, when he sees you his whole body wiggles!! Luca walks beautifully on a lead, is great with other dogs, loves to play with them, jumps into the car and travels well, is house trained and has been left for a few hours. Luca would like a home with no cats or children under 16 as he prefers a quiet household. That being said, Luca does not want a boring life he LOVES adventures and going out for a run in the fields, or to the beach, or just generally anywhere. Luca does not want a home where he goes to work, nor where he goes back and forth different places. Luca wants structure, routine, love and someone who will always be there for him. We are looking for a home where he will not be left for long periods of time and his family can provide the structure and routine he needs. Luca needs to be rehomed in a home with a kind resident dog.
Scruffy Puff
Scruffy came to Wales with the idea she was reserved for a home, but due to unexpected health issues, the application fell through and poor Scruffy Puff is back in kennels and searching for her forever home.
Scruffy puffy is an absolute delight! She loves people more than life itself! If she had a life time of belly tickles she would be a happy dog! Scruffy is so easy, she doesn’t want much, she is always happy and wagging her tail. She almost looks as if she’s smiling! Scruffy walks well on a harness and is happy to just trot along sniffing and taking in the world. Scruffy is as sweet and friendly as they come, she adores meeting new people and just wants to be friends with everyone. Scruffy loves children and could go with children aged 8 and above. Scruffy lives with a kennel mate, Paul, they are best friends and happily share food. Whilst she has mixed well with the other dogs at the kennels Scruffy can be selective about the dogs she chooses to be friends with, she is sassy, but has played with other dogs, and has gone out so regularly with one pair that she’s happy just to sniff around the play area now and show them little interest unless she wants to play. But, the new owner must be aware she MAY not want to be friends with every dog she meets, and she definitely likes to have all the cuddles to herself so we feel she would be much better suited to be an only dog in her new home. Scruffy has many terrier traits, and we assume she is some kind of terrier cross, she is very much a feisty little dog. When all is said and done, Scruffy is happy to chill out and lay in her bed (or on your sofa). Scruffy doesn’t need massive long walks and would easily suit a family life with children in the household. If you think you could give scruffy her forever home with unlimited belly rubs please apply today!
Liana

Liana is a loving, happy, intelligent and sweet little girl, she enjoys cuddles. Liana is independent, active and agile, she enjoys running free in a secure field at top speed and likes to explore new places. Liana is not a greedy dog but she is not prepared to share her food. She is quite biddable and can be bribed with tasty treats to learn new things. Liana walks nicely on a lead and greets other dogs nicely. Liana is cat reactive and will chase them if they run so we are looking for a cat/small furry free home. Whilst Liana loves to sit on your lap and be pampered she is looking for a family that is very active and will consider taking her to agility classes or possibly Cani-X to help keep her happy. We will consider a home with dog savvy children 13+ for Liana. Liana has never known the love of her own family and has spent a year in the shelter in Romania after escaping the war in Ukraine, it is now her time to find her own loving family and be given the dream life that every dog should have.

Meet Casey. The sweetest most awkward pup there is. Despite being born in Ukraine and rescued from a box with her mum and siblings, and growing up in a kennel – Casey is just lovely. Casey can be a bit stranger danger, but once she knows you’re ok, she’s ok. She may take a while to warm to you, but once she leans her head into your hand to have her face rubbed, you know you’ve won her over. Casey is very shy, and does a happy excited little wiggle over to people, very low to the floor but she absolutely loves people and fuss and cuddles, she’s just not at all boisterous about it. Once she knows you she will jump up for a fuss. Casey walks well on a harness, knows how to sit for a treat, has travelled in the car, met numerous dogs with no issues, and is happy to share all food and toys. Casey sadly grew up in a kennel and that’s all she’s ever known, so we are slowly exposing her to the big wide world, her new people would need to be careful to do this in a positive manner not to overwhelm her. Casey is full of joy, and I can imagine once she has her own sofa you’ll never get her off it! She looks up at you with big wide eyes full of love, all she wants is her own human. Casey would like someone who’s home pretty much all of the time, but working up to leaving Casey alone for short periods would be ideal. Casey will definitely need another confident dog in her new home to show her how to be a dog and how to act in a home. Whoever has Casey will be ever so lucky as she’s such a sweet loyal little pup!

Calling all active dog lovers! Lulu is for you!
Lulu was found in Ukraine hidden away with a litter of puppies, after being let loose from her previous home when the war broke out.. Lulu has been through so much and still has full capacity to love. Lulu is such a happy, lovely dog. Lulu has a shepherd look to her, and with no surprise she has the same kind of intelligence! Lulu is quick, smart, agile and picks up things very fast! She learnt to sit in about 2 attempts, picked up recall within one loose run in a secure field, and picks up new habits / routines very easily. Lulu is always ready to go on an adventure, anywhere any time! She enjoys running and sniffing and playing, but she also has a very affectionate side, she is always asking for a fuss, and will happily stand by your side for ages providing you have your hand on her. As long has Lulu has had a walk, and a play she is calm in her kennel. Lulu will need a very stimulating home that is very active, she would love hiking or running or trick training. Lulu knows how to sit, walks well on a harness and lead, will travel in the car, is great with all humans and dogs that she meets. Lulu is such a fun dog! But equally Lulu is absolutely craving a sofa of her own and someone who’s always on hand to give her some good love! Lulu is very good motivated to is easy to train. She would suit someone knowledgeable who could teach her a lot of things as she has the brain for it, but also would suit an active home just as much. Lulu is very brave and ready to go out and face the world ! Lulu would be more than happy to be an only dog providing she gets to play with other dogs but she could also be homed with another playful dog. Lulu could be homed with older dog savvy children, older, just because of how bouncy she is. Lulu would like a home where they will give her a lot of love and exercise but also someone to exercise her brain and stimulate her in many ways every day! Lulu will give you a life time of love and fun in return!

Are you a special person looking for a special dog? If so, Andreas is the one. Once you’ve taken the time to get to know Andreas you’re rewarded with a super fun super loving dog!! He has grown in confidence since arriving in the UK, he used to cower and try to run as far as he could from anyone new. Now he is happy to approach, the way to his heart is definitely treats and as soon as he’s had a little scratch from you he asks for more! When he first meets you he is desperate to say hi, he’ll wiggle towards you cautiously, but once you have a place in his heart he’ll run up to you full speed and give you a big human like hug! Andreas isn’t confident of men, ideally his main caregiver would be female. (We are working on gently exposing him to men.. he is ok with younger men!) Andreas is the sweetest dog! He truly has a heart of gold and hasn’t seen much of the world, he was definitely affected by the war, and can be a bit wary of big loud things. Andreas needs someone who will love him and give him all of their confidence, he would walk through fire for the person he loves. Andreas is good with other dogs, he and his kennel friend even eat out of the same bowl, he does prefer female dogs but gets on fine with male dogs if they are kind. Andreas has been to the groomers, been in the car, walks on a harness and loves going on adventures! Andreas has this curly little tail that folds over his back when he’s feeling good, his eyes show he’s been through some pain and it melts our hearts to see him having moments of joy. He played with a toy for the first time this week, he enjoys to run, but just loves nothing more than a cuddle with his favourite human. Andreas would like a calm home and doesn’t need loads of exercise, his main priorities are food and love.. Andreas will need to be homed with another kind dog to show him what the world and being a house dog is all about, Andreas would love to have a sofa of his own, and he deserves so much more, he’s a special dog who needs a special human to give him all the firsts and show him the world can be wonderful!

Geronimo is the one for all of you people out there that love a dog full of energy! G is always full of beans, he is always wanting an adventure, always up for a run, always up for anything! He is such a nice dog and adores humans, he would suit a very active home but also a home that will exercise his brain. G is full of cuddles, and fun! He is very dog friendly and just loves to play! G is nice to children but is very bouncy so we will only consider homes with children age 12+. Geronimo isn’t phased with the big wild world, he’s been out in the car, to local waterfalls, to the vets and remained confident. G does pull on the lead at first but this is because he wants to run!! Once he’s had his run he walks a lot more relaxed.. G honestly doesn’t run out of energy, he is on the go all the time, he is able to clear 4 ft fence easily so would need a very secure garden with 6ft fence, G would benefit from some kind of dog activity such as fly ball or agility, I don’t think he has the skill to compete but he would very much enjoy this! G is going to add so much fun to someone’s life, whether they want a buddy for hikes, running, mountain walking G is your dog!

Little Terry has grown up in a kennel, found in Kiev with his mum and 5 siblings, one who tragically didn’t make it, Terry is a little survivor! He has grown up in shelters, yet is the most kind hearted little lad there is! Terry can be a little bit shy, but he’s desperate to be your friend and desperate to please! Terry is full of love, but like his sister Casey, is a bit shy and awkward, Terry is great with other dogs, and is very nice to them. Once Terry gets to know you he will be on your lap, expecting cuddles and kisses! Terry needs someone to give him a chance, to show him he can be confident in the world and that is has a lot to offer ! Terry has been inside a house, and was ok with this – but has never lived in a home so this will all be new to him! Terry walks well on a lead and enjoys adventures. Terry will need another kind dog in his new home to show him what the world is all about. Terry is very good driven and learns very quickly if rewarded with treats! Terry is young and goofy and just wants to have fun! He wants a best pal who will always love him, and a doggy pal to always have his back! Terry has literally come so far, from Ukraine to Romania to the uk.. now finally he needs his chance to have a forever home of his own!

Sadly Leo has come back into our care after being adopted a short time ago, he did nothing wrong but he does need a more experienced owner who is happy to put the time in to help him become toilet trained as he has never lived in a home before. Leo is brave, confident, adventurous and happy to explore alone. He is a very active dog and is not easily tired out, he walks beautifully on a lead and he enjoys long walks with lots of new things to smell. He is easily bribed and sits patiently for treats and his meals. He doesn’t really play with toys, but chew toys and peanut butter Kongs are always a hit with him. Leo is a very sweet boy who enjoys a bit of fuss and loves a cuddle at bedtime. Leo is just over a year old and has spent his entire life in a kennel and we so want to see him find his forever home before the winter comes, we want him to spend this Christmas in front of a warm fire surrounded by people that love him, is that you?
