Margot – 18 month old female Collie Cross

Image
Margot is an 18-month-old female Collie Cross. She is a medium-sized dog based in York and is looking for a patient and understanding home. Margot came into rescue in Romania with her mother and siblings when she was just a tiny puppy after spending time in a shelter. She has been in her foster home for one month and is gradually settling into her new surroundings. Margot is a shy and gentle girl who is still building her confidence. She would benefit greatly from living with other dogs, as their presence helps her feel more secure and encourages her confidence to grow. Margot enjoys the company of other dogs and is suitable to live in a home with canine companions. She can also live with dog-savvy cats that understand how to interact respectfully with dogs. Her calm and gentle nature means she has the potential to fit well into the right household environment. She can live with older children who will be patient and considerate of her shy personality.

Paddy is affectionate, calm and people-focused once he has built trust. He forms strong bonds with his primary carers and enjoys close companionship, but can be wary of unfamiliar people.

Wilson – 2 year old male Hound Cross

Image
Wilson is a 2 year old male Hound Cross. He was rescued in Cyprus as a baby of six months and flew to his current home in Mold, Wales at around a year old. He weighs around 27 kg. 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. Off lead, he enjoys playing with other dogs, although he can get a bit...

Bertie – 7 year old male Maltese cross Shih Tzu

Image
Please meet Barmy Bertie! Bertie is a gorgeous little Malshi that joined us when his owner struggled to look after him. Bertie is a wonderful little lad, a bundle of fluff and love just waiting to devote himself to you! He is absolutely stunning both inside and out and his cheeky little face look straight into your heart!! He walks beautifully on the lead and is house trained, most of the day he spends snoozing on the sofa however he loves her food and walks! Bertie is a gentle little soul, he is a darling with not a bad bone in his body. He is not destructive at all and is quite content being left for short periods. Bertie would love to live with other dogs a similar size to him. I don’t think he enjoys being the only dog in the home however we would consider this if his carer is home alot of the time. He is a very undemanding and lazy lad; he would suit an older person or couple. He absolutely loves to snuggle! Bertie is fine with other dogs and cats. He loves to play...

Josh – 4 month old male Cross-Breed

Image
Little Josh  – 4-month-old mixed-breed boy, to be fostered in Gloucestershire. Just look at that face! Josh is seriously cute, but he has a lovely character to match, full of fun, mischief and love. I visit Spain twice a year to work alongside a rescue charity that Starfish has proudly supported for 15 years. At Starfish, we only put dogs up for adoption that I have met personally and would be happy to welcome into my own home with my dogs, or into one of our experienced foster homes. Josh is one of those very special dogs. Please watch the videos at the bottom of his profile and you will see exactly why I want to help him find his forever home. Little Josh is best described as a miniature Labrador! Like so many puppies before him, he was found abandoned when he was tiny. Thankfully, he was lucky enough to secure a rescue place with the charity we support. Like Billybob, he is currently living in the house with Keiron, the kennel manager, along with his best friend Billybob. I ab...

Pernales – 3 year old male Griffon

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...

Nora – 1 year old female Saluki Cross

Image
Say hello to Nora – 1 year old female Saluki Cross who’s shy, sweet, and quietly adorable. She’ll warm up quickly in a loving home, especially if you’re around a lot to give her those cuddles she craves. Nora was rescued when she was a newborn pup after her mum had been abandoned to the streets of Muscat. They went into foster until Nora was 3 months old and now she is in a boarding facility. She has recently spent time in a foster home again which gave us a good insight into her behaviour in a home environment. Her foster family describes her as shy, sweet, and quiet. She does like some people instantly but will need some time with others to get closer. With the foster mum being at home a lot, she warmed up fast and started to cuddle and play. She followed her two foster sisters in everything and copied their behavior, but there was some conflict at times over toys and space. The foster family thinks she’d be better in a home with other dogs as long as they were male or frie...

Grant – 4 month old male Cross-Breed

Image
Grant is a four month old cross-breed. Grant’s litter, aka the G pups, arrived at the shelter in June after they were all found living together as strays without their mum. They were terrified to begin with and spent a lot of time huddled together in their kennel, completely overwhelmed and frightened. After a few days they gradually started to get a bit braver, and now they’re ready for adoption. At a glance, Grant looks just as confident as his siblings. He’s always at the bars of the kennel jumping up to meet new people with his brothers and sisters, and the fact that he’s the only pup in the litter with huge ears also draws a lot of attention to him. However, Grant is actually the most nervous of the pups. As soon as he’s separated from his siblings, he is very unsure of what to do. He is such a sweet, soft and gentle boy, and he just needs a slightly more patient, calm and understanding home who can go at his pace. We’ve seen so many pups like Grant in our time and the power o...

Noemi – 1 year old female English Setter

Image
Noemi is a beautiful 1 year old female English Setter who was handed over by her hunter because she wasn’t wanted for hunting. She’s a very affectionate girl who loves being close to people and enjoys all the attention and fuss she can get. Noemi is a lively girl with lots of energy and finds kennel life very stressful. She gets quite anxious and restless in her kennel and really struggles to settle, so she would benefit from an environment where she has more space to relax. She absolutely loves getting out into the secure area at the shelter where she can run around to her heart’s content! She can be quite excitable around food and gets a little anxious at mealtimes, so would need to be fed separately from other dogs for the foreseeable. She’s sociable with other dogs and very loving with people. She also comes running when she’s called at the shelter but this will likely be different on an exciting walk, she is a setter after all! Noemi is a sweet girl with a lot of love to give...

Mabel – 4 year old female Cross-Breed

Image
Mabel is a medium sized crossbreed aged around four years old. Mabel fostered Badersfield Norfolk. Mabel came into our care a few weeks ago from Roxanas shelter in Romania. She was initially found in a nearby village after her and her siblings were abandoned as puppies. Mabel is a timid and reserved character who has been in her foster home for approximately 12 weeks, making gradual progress. Initially, she was fearful of human touch, but recently, she has started to enjoy affection and gets excited when she sees familiar faces. Mabel requires a home with at least one other dog as permanent resident, as she relies heavily on her pack. She loves going for walks, but prefers quieter areas due to her sensitivity to traffic. She could live with respectful children aged twelve plus. TERMS AND CONDITIONS When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST use a slip lead. This will keep your dog safe: your new dog will be nervous and will not trust you, and you will not know which situations mi...

Donky – 5 year old male Boxer Cross

Image
Donky is a medium Boxer cross, 5 years old. Donky was given up alongside his brother, Monky, and thankfully they both found their way into one of the shelters we work closely with. Donky is a beautiful, medium-sized Boxer mix and an absolute ray of sunshine. He is sociable, affectionate, playful and active, and he loves being around people. He’s happiest when he’s with his humans and would love to be part of a family where he can be involved in everyday life. He is good with other dogs, but he could also happily live as the only dog in the home. In fact, he would probably be very happy being the centre of someone’s world and having all the attention to himself! With people, Donky is calm and gentle. He is currently walking nicely on his lead and is already showing us that he’s a clever boy – he even does a very cute little sit! He is eager to learn and, with some continued guidance and positive training, we think he will be a real pleasure to work with. Donky is good with childr...

Neo – 3 year old male Cross-Breed

Image
Neo is a 3-year-old male Cross-Breed. We don’t know what his life was like before, but one thing’s clear: this boy has a heart full of love and a whole lot of life left to give. Found wandering alone in a remote Croatian village, Neo was abandoned and left to fend for himself. But despite it all, he hasn’t lost his sweetness — in fact, it’s what shines brightest about him. He’s an incredibly gentle, people-oriented dog who thrives on human connection. Neo craves companionship and bonds deeply with those who give him affection. While he gets along with female dogs and some males, he’d definitely prefer to be the only dog in the home — not because he’s difficult, but because he’s just built for soaking up all the love on offer. Neo weighs 28kg and stands at 55cm tall, making him a solid, medium-large boy who’s full of energy and ready for adventure. He’s healthy, eager for his next chapter, and absolutely deserves a safe, stable home where he can finally exhale. Through Meadow of Ho...

Bagel – 4 year old male Hound Cross

Image
Our extra special boy Bagel is approximately four years old and a medium sized cross breed hound. Bagel weighs a delightful seventeen kilos and measures twelve inches from shoulder to paw. Having been surrendered by his owner as no longer able to keep, Bagel has been in our Cyprus shelter for six weeks. Bagel is staggeringly attractive. His tri colour coat is exemplary along with the array of freckles on his chest. His shining eyes glow with happiness and his ears are of world champion standard. Perhaps we should also note his two pairs of size ten boots. When Bagel goes on his dog walks, he will quickly become the talk of the town. Our shelter manager describes Bagel’s manners as perfect, and she firmly believes he will make a wonderful family dog. What a star. Bagel walks really nicely on his lead and enjoys his time in the car. He seems to mix perfectly well with other dogs, cats and children. http://www.dogsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/d25b8cd8-ae11-4e46-83eb-a22e3e31...

Pablo – 3 year old male Cross-Breed

Image
Pablo is a 3-year-old male Cross-Breed. He is a medium-to-large-sized dog who has made incredible progress since arriving in care. Initially, Pablo was a confused adolescent who struggled with communication, often becoming frustrated and overstimulated. This would lead to him jumping up and mouthing, which, given his size, could be overwhelming. Unfortunately, this behaviour resulted in him making a mistake in his previous home. With dedicated training and patience, Pablo has transformed into a well-mannered and much more settled dog. His love for food and toys has been an excellent aid in his training, helping him learn positive behaviours. He is now a lovable rogue with so much potential for the right person. However, he still needs an experienced owner who understands bull breeds and can continue his training. Pablo thrives in a calm and structured environment with clear boundaries and regular stimulation. He will need an adult-only home that is quiet and free from frequent visito...
