Prairie Dog

Suzy is a 1.5 year old female Cross-Breed, medium in size. She was rescued exactly a year ago from horrid circumstances, having been thrown into a yard with her brother, Tommy, at just a few weeks of age. They lived on piles of rubbish, frequently escaping due to inadequate fencing and roaming the streets among busy traffic, constantly in danger. When rescued, they were emaciated and full of parasites. Suzy has grown to be a kind-natured, healthy girl who is active and playful according to her age. She is medium-sized and has a lovely cheeky character. She loves people and is very friendly around kids, too. She is also playful and happy around other dogs. Suzy is perhaps slightly more reserved than her brother and enjoys doggie company a lot. She loves to play and run with her mates. Suzy would be happiest in a family where she is not left alone for extended periods and there is time for her training. We want her to be treated as a treasured member of the family and be taken on ni...

Beautiful 6 year old whippet cross lurcher Breeze came into our care as a stray from the pound. We don’t know anything about her past but what we do know is that she’s an absolute sweetheart. ?We believe that she is around 6 years old, and it is clear that she suffered in her previous life. Our vet has confirmed that sadly, she has been used over and over again for breeding and due to a poor diet and lifestyle, almost all of her teeth need to be removed. As she needs to put on some weight before it’s safe to have her dental surgery, Breeze’s forever family will need to live within driving distance of our vet in Hook Norton. ?Despite her past traumas, Breeze is loving, affectionate and wants to be around her people as much as possible. She loves going for nice, long walks and then spending the rest of the day relaxing. Although she loves human company, she can be left for short periods and house training has gone very well so far in her foster home. ?Given her breed, she cannot ...

Ebony is a 4-month-old female Cross-Breed. She is expected to grow into a large-sized dog as she matures. At her young age, she already shows a loving and engaging personality. She is described as friendly, playful, and very cuddly. Ebony enjoys interaction and is full of affection, making her a delightful companion. Her cheerful nature means she is likely to bring a lot of joy into a home. Ebony is suitable to live with other dogs and gets along well with them. She would benefit from companionship and social interaction with other dogs. However, she is not suitable to live with cats, which is an important consideration for potential adopters. She is suitable for a home with older children. This suggests she would do best in an environment where children understand how to interact gently and respectfully with a young puppy. Her playful energy would match well with a family setting. Currently, Ebony is based in Cyprus but can travel to the UK or Europe. This allows her to be conside...

Hugo is a 2.5 year old male Vizsla Cross. He is as sweet as he is handsome! He is currently located in Cyprus and is ready to fly to the UK once he is adopted. Hugo is a boy with a lovely character and full of enthusiasm. Hugo was found wandering in a village for weeks begging for someone to take him home. Hugo is an affectionate and loving boy. From the beginning, Hugo was a very shy dog, but his nervousness was not redirected into reactivity and/or aggression. Most likely his fearful behavior was a result of bad treatment in the past. Now he loves to be hugged and stroked by the volunteers at the shelter so with just a bit of patience and a lot of love he can become the most loving doggy. He’s intelligent and will thrive with ongoing training while he learns the house rules. Hugo has high levels of energy, as any Vizsla does:) and he will enjoy his walks, exercise and play with other friendly doggie. Hugo would be best suited to life with a family or as the best mate to someon...

Lonzo is an 18 month old labrador retriever, yet another handsome boy in our care! He was found without a collar or microchip, wandering the outskirts of Nicosia looking for food and water. When he arrived at the shelter he was quite withdrawn and anxious, but within a day we saw a completely different character emerge. He’s now a very happy, friendly and sociable boy, and ready to find his forever home. Lonzo is estimated to be around 1-2 years old, so still quite a young dog who will need some focus and training in a new home. He loves people and is more than happy to make new friends given any opportunity. He is great with the volunteers that visit at the weekends, and he has bonded well with the shelter staff too. He will wait so patiently at the bars of his kennel in the hope that you’ll go in to see him. Since arriving in the shelter Lonzo has shared his kennel with two different groups of dogs and he has had no trouble integrating. He is wise to reading canine body language...

Sarah is a medium sized crossbreed aged around eight months old. Sarah fostered Norwich Norfolk. Sarah has joined us in the UK recently from the Crivatu shelter in Romania. Initially she was found abandoned in a field with her mother and sister. Sarah is a cracking little dog who is super enthusiastic and eager to please.

Chip is a 3-year-old male Cross-Breed. He is currently based in Cyprus, where he is waiting in a municipal pound for the chance to find a loving forever home. Despite his situation, he remains a friendly and hopeful young dog. Chip is described as a beautiful boy who has a gentle and sociable nature. He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys being around people, showing that he has a positive and affectionate temperament. His friendliness makes him a great candidate for a home that can offer companionship and interaction.

He is ready for a fresh start with a family who can give him the care and attention he deserves. https://www.dogsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Chip2.mp4 https://www.dogsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Chip1.mp4 C...

Sammy is a 10-week-old male Shih Tzu Cross. He is currently still with his mum and some of his litter mates, which means he is in an important stage of early development and socialisation. Being raised in this environment helps him learn basic behaviours from both his mother and siblings. He is described as the smallest of the litter, which gives him a slightly more delicate and petite presence compared to his brothers and sisters. Despite his size, Sammy is a cheeky little character with a playful and lively personality. His colouring is noted as darker with a brindle-like appearance, adding to his unique look. Sammy takes strongly after his mum, who is a Shih Tzu Cross, while his dad is unknown. Because of this, his overall appearance and temperament are expected to be similar to his mother. Like her, he will require regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and well-maintained. In terms of temperament, Sammy is good with other dogs and has already been exposed to living with a...

Ivan is a one year old Greek Harehound and unfortunately, Ivan is looking for a new home. He arrived in the UK in June 2025 at the age of five months old, and has been in a loving, supportive home since then. Sadly, due to reduced time to work on his training since a baby arrived, and his surrounding environment not being the best for his needs, he is now looking for a new family. Ivan is looking for a semi-rural home where he has more space, a nice garden to run about in, and a family who understands hounds. He is currently living in London and is struggling with the suburban surroundings. There are a lot of factors that he finds overwhelming and this is causing pent up frustration and anxiety. He would be much happier outside of the city where he can enjoy long walks in green spaces. As his family have been preparing for their new baby, they haven’t had enough time to give Ivan the training and focus that he has really needed. Now the baby has arrived they have even less time, a...

She likes hard things to chew on, e.g. hard Anco dog roots, hard nylabone chews, rag pulls are another favourite. She sleeps q...

Please meet Lovely Lady! Lady is a gorgeous little crossbreed that is approximately 18 months old Cross-Breed. Lady was born in rescue kennels when her mum was rescued from the meat markets of China and promptly gave birth to pups. Dogs are food in China, if you don’t know the meat markets are absolutely evil and the treatment the dogs get and the things they have seen is nothing short of hell. Little Lady is one of the lucky ones and has come to us in the UK to find her forever home. If you are not aware, there are no animal welfare laws in China so no dog is ever safe there, which is why the dogs are sent overseas to be rehomed, to make sure they are safe and loved for life! We expected Lady to be quite bewildered when she arrived in foster with us, but all she wanted was to have a snuggle with me, its very easy to fall in love with this adorable little lady. I mean, just look at her! She took everything in her stride and even joined us on a pack walk the day after she arrived, ...

Stanley fostered Royston Herts. Stanley is a small to medium sized crossbreed, he is probably around nine years old. Stanley came into our care four years ago from the Botosani public shelter in Romania. He had been extremely picked on in the shelter and was very underweight due to other dogs not allowing him to eat. Far from being grateful to us for stepping in and saving him from impending doom, it’s fair to say that Stanley has never really been a “people person”. After years of hardship at the hands of humans we never really blamed him. So we’ve been ticking along for four years feeding him, picking up his pooh and receiving nothing in gratitude but dirty looks. All that mattered was that he was out of the shelter and happy and safe in his foster home. For the duration of his stay with us he’s really not been any trouble at all. He blends into the background for the most part. Will tolerate me bathing and grooming him without a fuss when needed. He’s just never really shown an...
