๐Ÿถ Wren - 8 months - medium
๐Ÿพ Sadly, this sweet girl, Wren, has experienced more than her fair share of bad luck in her short life. Although she was adopted twice, both adoptions ended through no fault of her ownโ€”one family was affected by a serious car accident, while the other went through a divorce. ๐Ÿ’”

๐Ÿก Now she is back with us, all of her siblings have found their forever homes while she will continue to wait patiently for her third chance. Ready for a fresh start, we are hoping her luck is finally about to change.

๐Ÿ• At home, she lives indoors alongside other dogs and two cats ๐Ÿฑ, making her very well socialised and comfortable in a family environment. Visitors are greeted with confidence and friendliness, as she enjoys meeting new people and being part of family life.

๐Ÿ˜Œ Calm and easygoing by nature, she is not a barker and settles beautifully into daily routines.

โค๏ธ Affectionate, gentle, and eager to please, she forms strong bonds with her people and loves nothing more than being close to them.

๐Ÿ€ More than anything, she deserves the loving forever home she has been waiting so patiently for. Could you be the one to give her the happy ending she deserves? ๐Ÿกโค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

๐ŸพShoulder height: 58cm

Hope is a special dog who unfortunately went through some traumatic event , probably hit with a hard object over her right eye so the eye is pushed back into the socket. It doesnโ€™t need to be taken out as it is intact and not infected and she might still see a lot out of it. (Vet report available)

Temperament-wise , she is a gem ๐Ÿ’Ž. She loves everyone, cats, dogs, puppies and visitors included . A very happy dog, she is easy to handle, affectionate, playful and sweet . Hopefully someone will love her just the way she is โค๏ธ๐Ÿคž

URGENT
THIS IS A DIFFICULT ASK โ€ฆBUT LUI LUI REALLY NEEDS SOME HELP

She has been living in a home for four years with a caring family who sadly havenโ€™t known how to deal with her and her bucket is full to the brim with anxiety and stress causing reactivity to almost everything.
Thereโ€™s no doubt about it, she needs a new home with an experienced dog owner who is willing to give her plenty of time to decompress, is then willing to take her right back to basics, probably with the help of a behaviourist - we will also provide support.

We have had an independent assessment done on Lui Lui and can provide all the details and information about her character to anyone who feels they have the time and the experience to help her. Please contact on the link below for more information.
The assessor said: โ€œI wish I was working with Lui Lui I reckon she will come along nicely with the right owner! โ€ฆ.just misunderstood unfortunately.โ€

URGENT ADOPTION OR FOSTER

URGENT ADOPTION OR FOSTER

๐ŸถJeff - in the UK - URGENT ADOPTION OR FOSTER

Jeff is a 2.5-year-old crossbreed originally from Portugal. He was found as a young puppy and lived in a shelter where he showed no signs of reactivity, loved playing with other dogs and would walk around town happily on a lead.

He's been living in a flat in London for 3.5 months, and while he's the sweetest boy at home, it's become clear that city life isn't right for him. He found the journey over quite traumatic, and that combined with the noise and bustle of London has meant he's struggled to settle and relax.

Heโ€™s been working with a really good behaviourist, and an independent assessor evaluated him and said he isn't a reactive dog, just in the wrong place. Despite trying everything, his owners have come to the heartbreaking conclusion that he needs to be rehomed somewhere quieter with more space for his own peace of mind.

The lovely stuff:
At home Jeff is an absolute sweetheart. Despite the challenges of living in London he is a naturally happy and loving boy. He cuddles up on the sofa in the evenings and is so excited to say hello every morning.

He is playful, happy to entertain himself on his own with his toys or running after anything thrown. A really smart boy, he has taken to all his training brilliantly - is eager to please, food motivated and genuinely enjoys training sessions.

The practical bits:
* Medium size, 19kg
* Housetrained (may need a refresher in a new environment)
* Walks nicely on the lead with a harness
* Muzzle trained
* Can be left alone for up to 2.5 hours - he's shown no destructive tendencies so this could be extended a little.
* Neutered, microchipped and fully up to date with vaccinations
* He is currently on fluoxetine as recommended by his behaviourist to help him cope with city stress. (Probably wonโ€™t need this in a quieter environment)

What Jeff needs:
* A quiet home with a secure garden where he can run and play
* Walks with plenty of space so he can relax and enjoy them
* Patient owners who can continue working on his confidence. He can be reactive towards other dogs on lead, in tight spaces when passing close, there's been real improvement but he needs an environment where encounters aren't so frequent and pressured
* Time to warm up to new people. He loves his people deeply but can be nervous of strangers
* Either an adult-only home or one with older children - he can be a bit nervous so young children wouldn't be a good fit
* Probably better as an only dog

Like all rescues Jeff has his challenges, but in the right environment we truly believe he could grow into a happy, confident, wonderful dog.

๐Ÿถ Sonia - 2 years - medium

Sonia clearly adores rosesโ€”the beautiful garden setting in these photos suits her perfectly.

She was found abandoned and is currently thriving in foster care, where she lives happily alongside dogs and cats. Her foster carers describe her as one of the easiest and sweetest dogs they have had. She is friendly, well-mannered and has never caused any issues.

A calm and loving addition to a home, Sonia is a truly wonderful, easy-going companion who would fit beautifully into almost any family environment.

๐Ÿพ Churro โ€“ Male | 42 cm - 2 years (overlooked dog)

โœจ Churro is one of the last puppies remaining from a large litter, and he has grown into a wonderfully social, happy, and easy-going young dog.

๐Ÿ’› Friendly & Affectionate
Churro is more forthcoming and confident, happily approaching people for attention and affection. He has a joyful nature and genuinely seems to smile when he is being fussed over.

๐Ÿ˜Š Happy-Go-Lucky Personality
His cheerful outlook and relaxed attitude make him a pleasure to be around. He enjoys meeting new people and takes new experiences in his stride.

๐ŸŽช Excellent Socialisation
At a recent large socialisation event, Churro was surrounded by crowds, unfamiliar sights, sounds, and activities while remaining on lead throughout and behaving beautifully.

โญ Passed with Flying Colours
He handled everything presented to him with confidence and composure, showing excellent manners and adaptability in a busy environment.

๐Ÿ• Well-Balanced Young Dog
Churro combines friendliness, confidence, and a loving temperament, making him a fantastic companion for a family looking for a happy, sociable dog.

๐Ÿก Ready for His Forever Home
After waiting longer than he should due to being one of the last puppies from his litter, Churro is more than ready to bring his sunshine personality and endless smiles to a family of his own.

๐Ÿ’™ Meet Freud ๐Ÿ’™ - 20 months (overlooked dog)

Freud has been waiting patiently for his forever home. He recently attended an adoption event to help with socialisation and was an absolute star, happily meeting new people and showing everyone just how sweet and friendly he is. Sadly, he wasn't chosen, as most adopters tend to be looking for very young puppies.

What makes this even harder is that Freud was part of a large litter, and he is now the only one still waiting for a family of his own.

๐Ÿพ Friendly and affectionate
๐Ÿพ Loves people and attention
๐Ÿพ Enjoys cuddles and companionship
๐Ÿพ Well-socialized and eager to please
๐Ÿพ Ready to thrive in a loving home

Freud has so much love to give and would make a wonderful companion for a lucky family. All he wants is a warm bed, a caring home, and people to call his own.
Can you help us find the happy ending this lovely boy deserves? Please share Freud's story and help him find his forever family. โค๏ธ
