Prairie Dog

Cleo is an adorable 11-month-old small mixed breed girl looking for a loving forever home. She and her three siblings were found abandoned as tiny puppies, all in very poor condition, frightened and unsure of the world around them. With their parents unknown and their future uncertain, all they had was each other. Thankfully, Cleo has blossomed into a wonderful young dog. Although naturally a little shy when meeting new people or experiencing new situations, she is incredibly sweet, gentle, and affectionate once she feels safe. Her confidence continues to grow every day. She loves playing with other dogs and enjoys spending time with people she knows and trusts. Cleo would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can continue building her confidence at her own pace. In return, she will reward her family with unwavering loyalty and love. Cleo could happily live with another friendly well-balanced dog and she has all the potential to live with cats, too. As a small-sized girl, Cle...

She would love a family who will embrace her fun personality, include her in their lives, and give her the attentio...

Our extra special boy Mousey is approximately three years old and a really small little chap and quite possibly a Kokoni. Mousey weighs four and a half kilos and measures seven inches from shoulder to paw. Having been surrendered as no longer able to keep Mousey has been in our Cyprus shelter for two months. Our shelter manager describes Mousey as a very happy blend of shy and bubbly. He will undoubtedly blossom in a secure and loving forever home. Mousey is incredibly sweet and captures hearts instantly. His soft brown coat is delightful with a graduated tint of black and grey along his back. His greatest joys include a lap, a cuddle and one to one attention. Such a dear low maintenance little boy with endearing puppy dog eyes. Quite a prize for a fortunate adopting family. Mousey walks nicely on his lead and seems to enjoy his time in the car. He appears to mix perfectly well with other dogs, cats and children. https://www.dogsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/79c7ee7b-dd93-4...

Meet Ala, a 7 year old female Cross-Breed rescued from a kill shelter in Romania in December 2022. Her date of birth is estimated, and she is now spayed and fully vaccinated. Ala is a wonderful, gentle girl with a calm and sweet nature. She can be a little shy at first but is friendly with the people she knows and trusts. She is good with other dogs and currently shares her kennel, although very energetic dogs can feel a little overwhelming for her. For this reason, if homed with another dog, they would need to be calm and respectful. Ala has not yet been tested with cats or children, but this can be done if required.

Ala would thrive in a peaceful environment where she can enjoy companionship, gentle walks, and a quiet, comfortable life. This lovely girl has been through so much and truly deserves a warm, loving home to call her own. A home check a...

Winnie is a small crossbreed aged three to four years old. Winnie is fostered in Hingham Norfolk. Winnie came to us a a couple of years ago from the Radauti public shelter in Romania. She arrived terrified of everyone and everything but over time has emerged into a plucky and cheeky little character who is loved by all in her foster home.

Pete is a large crossbreed aged around eighteen months old. Pete is fostered Norwich Norfolk. Pete and his siblings were found in a city in Romania in January 2025. Small pups, lost, wandering among cars and all sorts of dangers. The man who found them, being a friend of a friend, asked for Roxana’s help and they were taken to her shelter. Pete is a typical adolescent dog, clumsily learning the canine lessons of life. He is initially shy with new people and takes time to bond. He is not an overly affectionate dog but will always be close by. Pete would love to live with another playful dog but could go as the only dog. Pete could live with respectful children aged ten plus. He will need an adopter experienced with large breeds who has the time and patience to win his trust.

Prince is a 20 month old Lurcher and he is looking for a new home. Although he’s not originally an Underdog, when we heard that he needed some support we wanted to try and help him. Unfortunately, Prince is living in a home that is not suitable for his needs. He has been struggling in the city and needs a less overwhelming environment to call home. He is also a very energetic boy, and is looking for an active, patient and understanding family. Prince is just under two years old and is a sighthound mix. He was part of an accidental litter, and was bought as a puppy, but has consistently struggled in London and requires a more experienced handler. With the support of a local day-care and dog walking business, Prince has had a lot more exposure to other dogs and new people, and he has made a lot of progress regarding his confidence and social skills. We think this will continue to improve in a semi-rural area. Prince is adorable and has a very loving, affectionate nature with those ...

She was found in bushes in Crivatu Romania a few years ago and was taken to the private shelter nearby. She is a calm and steady girl who still enjoys short walks.

Orion is a 1 year old, medium-large, male, Cross-Breed, who is a sweet, friendly, lovely boy waiting for his forever home. He has never truly known what it means to be a carefree puppy. He should be enjoying life in a loving home, cared for and cherished, warm at night instead of sleeping on a concrete floor. Confiscated from his owners, Orion and his three siblings have all been in the shelter since they were just young pups. Arguably, it was the best thing to happen to them, but now they each really need a home and family to call their own. Orion is a medium-large dog who will need ongoing training to help him settle into home life. He has gotten used to walking on a lead and is well behaved on walks. He is also wonderful with other dogs and children. Even though he is young, Orion and all of his siblings give off a lovely calming energy and we suspect they will be medium energy once in a home. Orion is far too young to spend his days in a shelter and has missed an important sta...

Maddie is a 12-year-old Springer Spaniel currently being fostered in Gloucestershire in an adult family home with other dogs. Maddie recently joined the Starfish family after her previous owner sadly had to move and was unable to keep all of his dogs.

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...

What’s worse than seeing puppies growing up in the shelter cage?….older dogs living out their days in the shelter cage, when time on this planet is running out for them. Meet Morits – A Gentle Soul Ready for His Second Chance Morits has spent eight long years longing for something many of us take for granted: love, warmth, and a place to call home. Morits was found living in a field with his brother about 3 years ago and they were taken in by Roberts Dog Sanctuary. His brother has since been rehomed but Morits now waits alone in a shelter in Cyprus, his big heart full of hope. At his age he should be living in comfort, not sleeping on cold concrete floors.

He walks beautifully on the lead and would make the perfect companion for peaceful strolls or quiet afternoons by your side. Morits is gentle with female dogs and, with the right introduction, could share his space with a calm male friend. Because of h...

Elena is a five to six year old female Cross-Breed who is medium to large in size and currently fostered in Marlborough, Wiltshire. She can live with or without other dogs, can live with children of all ages, and has not yet been cat tested, though she may be suitable. We met Elena in March this year when we visited the Boto?ani public shelter in Romania. She had a badly twisted front leg. She had two operations to try and fix the damaged limb, but sadly they didn’t work and it was ultimately amputated. Elena is the most joyous dog you could ever meet. Despite her surroundings in the grim shelter she remains bubbly and upbeat. She is friendly and affectionate and loves everyone she meets. Elena mixes well with other dogs but could also live happily as the only dog in the home. She could live with respectful children of all ages.
