Forest the German Shepherd had spent a lot of months in the sanctuary kennels. We’re delighted to share with you all that he has found a home and doing really well.

Forest has been away in his new home for some time now, so far so good. We’re so happy to see him enjoying home comforts again and enjoying the run of the garden playing with all his favourite toys. 💚🐾

Buzz (left)

Benji (right)

Males
9 Years
Labradors

Reason for surrender- noise complaints from neighbours but bearing in mind there were 4 dogs in total in the house.

These two are big softies in their senior years. We really hope it's not a lengthy stay in kennels.
They do cope completely grand apart from each other so we will consider applications for them both together or separately.

Buzz is an oversized lapdog weighing in at 43 kg! He doesn't realise this though and insists on sitting on your knee for bum scratches.
Buzz had surgery on his knee aged 2 years old and that coupled with his senior years leaves him needing pain relief.

Benji is a little smaller at 33 kg. Benji likes to walk around carrying a toy, he has a particularly love for his burger toy.
Benji has a luxating patella but it doesn't cause him any great issue. Again though with his senior years he is on daily pain relief to make him more comfortable.

These two could live with other dogs pending successful meet and greets.

Benji and Buzz could live with children of any age who have a sensible approach to dogs.

*Now Rehomed*

April
DSH Black/White
1 Year Female

Little April was brought into foster after being found as a pregnant stray. She stayed in foster until she gave birth to 5 kittens, sadly one had passed. She is a sweet natured girl and a very attentive mother, but also putting her kittens in place if needed be! She would be suited to a household with children who have a sensible and slow approach to cats.
