She is currently in a safe shelter in Romania, waiting for the opportunity to travel to the UK and find a loving forever home. Sadly, Lily has endured a very difficult and traumatic past after being rescued from a horrific kill shelter. Her experiences have understandably left her feeling frightened and unsure of the world around her. She is a very worried and scared girl who will need someone willing to look beyond her initial fear and give her the opportunity to discover what it means to feel safe and loved. Lily has been through so much, and now she deserves a chance to leave her difficult past behind. Lily will need plenty of time, patience and understanding to help her gradually recover her confidence. She is not a dog who will immediately settle into a new environment or feel comfortable with unfamiliar people, so her adopters will need to be prepared to take things slowly and allow h...

Cody – 3 year old male Jack Russell Terrier Cross

Image
Handsome Cody is looking for a home. Cody – 3 year old male Jack Russell Terrier Cross. Whilst he might be small in size, he has the personality of dreams, never stops making everybody smile, and loves to make new friends. Cody is a wonderful little dog with a heart full of love and a lot of character. Rescued from Romania as a puppy, he came to us with a traumatic injury to his tail, which required surgery. He was quite a shy little pup but was adopted into a home fairly quickly. Unfortunately, this was not the right environment for Cody and he never really settled, so a year later he was back at DC. He was adopted out again and, through no fault of his own, was returned within a few weeks as the resident dog did not like him. Cody had been a perfect gentleman, so he came back yet again to live his best life with his Wonky friends. Cody is a sweet and friendly dog once he’s settled but can be a little shy at first. Once he gets to know you, he’s an absolute bundle of fun! ...

Seth – 10 month old male Pointer

Image
Seth is a young male English Pointer, approximately 10 months old, was found as a stray when he was just 6 months, and has been in a shelter in Cyprus ever since. He is a typical pointer: super friendly, loving, cuddly, extremely human oriented, good with other dogs, and loves children and anyone he meets. We suspect Seth may have been from an unwanted litter produced by a hunters dog. He was probably then dumped on the roadside to fend for himself away from everything he had ever known. He was found with 2 other male pointers a few years older than him and has been happily living with them in a pack with some other female pointers aswell. Seth will be a real treat to train and welcome into your home. Just as any pointer does, for those that are familiar with the breed, they make the most wonderful companions. They don’t ask for much: a full belly, a warm sofa, a human to cuddle up with, and regular physical and mental stimulation. They go hard with their exercise but also enjoy t...

Wilson is a deeply affectionate dog who forms strong bonds once he feels safe. When he trusts you, he is a total sofa snuggler and would happily spend the day curled up beside you, soaking up all the love. Indoors, he is calm, settled, and content to relax, making him a lovely presence in the home. Outside, Wilson has a playful side and enjoys stretching his legs in open spaces. He absolutely loves chasing his frisbee, although returning it is not really his strong point. He is more about the joy of the chase than the fetch itself. Wilson walks beautifully on the lead when it is quiet. He can become excited and reactive when he sees other dogs, particularly at the start of a walk, but with calm handling and distraction he does settle.

Image
Pernales is a 3-year-old male Griffon. Born on 03/05/2022, he is currently in the North of Spain and searching for his forever home. He was surrendered by his owner, a hunter, because he was not considered good at hunting. He is described as a huge and soft animal, super elegant and dignified in his presence. Pernales is a very balanced and calm dog, which is a wonderful trait in such a strong and powerful boy. His impressive build is matched by a loving nature. Pernales is sociable with other dogs and gets along well with them. He is also very obedient with people and is not shy, showing confidence in human company. Everything about his description points to him being a very good dog with a steady temperament. He is, however, very strong and powerful, so he will need someone physically capable of managing him on the lead. He is not used to walking on a lead, which means patience, strength and consistent training will be essential. With the right guidance, he has the foundation to...
