Things to consider before adopting a dog:- Am I able to give the exercise and mental stimulation a dog requires on a daily basis? Will the dog have someone with him/her for most of the day? We insist that the dog is not left alone for more than 4 hours in the day. Am I prepared for the costs associated with keeping a dog (i.e. vets bills and food)? All animals are micro-chipped, adults are spayed/neutered and flea/worming treatment is kept up to date.
We will ask that you visit any dog you are interested in at least twice. Dog introductions may take up to 3 visits.
A home visit is required before any dog is adopted. This is to ensure that the environment is suitable (i.e. garden has lockable gate and fences are secure). Please call to book a viewing appointment:
Minimum charge for our dogs is £85.00 Please note all payments are cash only
DAISY
AKITA
Female
2 years
Available
Daisy is a lovely girl. She walks well and loves to be groomed. She is a really bouncy girl, very puppy like in her play. She just wants some company. She loves to play with her squeaky toys and is very gentle with them. Daisy will need to be an only pet and kept on a lead when out as she doesn't like other dogs. when walking she is indifferent to them. She will also need to be in an adult only household. Children 16+
With us after being abandoned by her owner.
KANE
GERMAN SHEPHERD
Male
3 Years
Available
Kane is a typical German shepherd, he can be quite vocal, but a big whimp. He is a very large dog and does need some training with his walking as he is so strong and can pull. He would best suit someone who knows this breed and is willing to put in some effort with his training to bring out the best in this wonderful boy. Kane seems good with the other dogs around him. With us because his owner passed away.
ALFIE
JACK RUSSELL
Male
6 years
Available
Alfie is a typical Terrier. There really is no good reason for why he has been with us for so long. Alfie walks perfectly on his lead and sits and waits for his food. He has been on our sponsored walk last year, where he behaved very well. Alfie is also a regular at Melton market when volunteer Judy picks him up for a day out. Judy can't fault his behaviour when out, at home he would prefer to be the only dog. He can be boisterous and playful. All he needs is a Terrier person.
Returned to us for being too boisterous.
SABLE
LABRADOR
Female
1 Year
Available
Sable came in with Wispa. They are both typical Labradors, very bouncy and friendly. Sable seems to be the more boisterous of the two. Sable is good with other dogs and has lived with small children, but can be a little over powering, being so lively. She can pull on her lead so would benefit from an owner who is willing to put in time to train this lovely bouncy girl. Sable will do well in any new home. With us due to her owner being unable to give her the attention she deserves and needs.
MARMITE
TERRIER CROSS
Male
6 Years
Available
Marmite is a return to the Shelter. He is a very strong willed dog and will need an owner who is used to Terriers and can be firm but fair with him. He can be a very affectionate dog but will try to be the boss. Marmite loves his toys and will play for hours. He doesn’t like other dogs so will have to be an only pet.
We are looking for a home with no children and an owner who is able to be the leader of the pack.
OTTO
LABRADOR CROSS STAFFI
Male
2 Years
Available
Otto is a lovely young dog. He can seem shy at first meeting, but once out of the kennel he comes to life. Otto has more the look of a Staffi but size wise he is inbetween the two breeds, bigger than a Staffi but smaller than a typical Labrador. He likes other dogs and is very good off lead when playing in our field. Otto has not lived with children, so we would say 8+. He will be a wonderful addotion to any new home. With us as he was being left for 12 hours a day.
ANNA
BOXER CROSS
Female
3 Years
Available
Anna is a very friendly girl. We have found her very playful, she loves her toys. Anna walks very well on a gencon lead, but can pull on anything else. We have been told she has mixed well with male dogs and she seems fine with the dogs in the kennels next to her. Anna loves the company of people and is looking for a forever home with either a family with older children or a couple. She has been a guest in our reception area at lunch time and behaved very well.
With us because she was simply unwanted.
RUBY
DOBERMAN
Female
5 Years (6 in March)
Available
Ruby is a lovely gentle girl. She walks well on lead and recall is good off lead. Ruby loves a treat and a fuss. She is good with the dogs around her in the kennels and has lived with another dog. Ruby's perfect home would be with either a couple with time to spend walking and just being there for her, or a family with older children who are not going to be too boisterous around her. Ruby is friendly with children, but hasn't lived with them before. With us due to her owner losing their home. Very reluctantly given up.
WISPA
LABRADOR
Female
1 Year
Available
Wispa came in with Sable. They are both typical bouncy Labrador's who would benefit from finding a home with someone who has the time to spend training her and bringing out the best in this lovely young dog. Wispa is the shyer of the two, but still loves a treat and a fuss. She has lived with small children, but can be overpowering. That said Wispa will do well in any new home. With us because her owner could not give her the attention she deserves.
DEEFA
WHIPPET CROSS
Male
7 Years
Available
Deefa is a wonderful dog, very calm and well behaved. He walks really well on just a lead and collar. He will do well in any new home, but an older couple looking for a companion to take on long walks should really consider Deefa. He is so loving and a very happy dog.
With us due to his owner not being able to give him the time he deserves.
CONNIE
GERMAN SHEPHERD
Female
7 Years
Available
Connie is a lovely friendly, well behaved girl. She is a pleasure to be around as she always does as she's asked. Connie loves her walks and a game of fetch. Don't be put off by her age because she is full of energy. Connie has lived in a family with children.
With us because she did not get along with other dogs in the household. Connie's owner died and the family really wanted to keep her, but it just wasn't working. Very reluctantlyy given up.
ERIC
STAFFI
Male
10 Monthts
Available
Eric is a typical staffi, full of energy and fun. He loves everyone and seems fine with the dogs either side of him in the kennels. Eric would benefit from some training, he is still a puppy and could learn a few manners. The perfect home for Eric would be with someone who knows this breed who is willing to take the time to train and bring out the best in this lovely young dog.
With us due to a home move where no pets allowed.
