Tanner – 6-7 year old male German Shepherd Cross

Image
Tanner is a medium to large sized German shepherd cross aged around six to seven years old. Tanner fostered Easton Norfolk. He has come into our care recently from the Botosani public shelter in Romania. We’ve known this boy for over two years now and walked him on several trips to the shelter. He’s always been so happy to see us and a really nice boy to take out. He’s very friendly and confident. Tanner could live very happily with another dog or dogs but would also enjoy being the only dog in the home. He could live with respectful children aged ten 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 might upset your dog. If your dog panics, then a slip lead is the only way to prevent your dog from escaping (many dogs can escape from a collar and/or harness). It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle-in and fo...

Barbie – 2-3 year old female Cross-Breed

Image
Barbie is a small female crossbreed aged around 2-3 years old. Barbie is fostered in Norwich Norfolk. Barbie came into our care from the Botosani public shelter in Romania at the end of 2023 and has grown up with us. Having started life in the shelter environment she was very shy and under socialised on arrival and it took us weeks to warm her trust. She is now confident and affectionate with everyone in her foster home and loves cuddles and to play. She is still wary of strangers and not confident in unfamiliar surroundings but this will all improve in time. She needs to move on from her multi dog foster home now and get used to life out of the shadows of a large pack. Barbie gets on well with other dogs and would need the company of another confident dog in her forever home. She is a strong member of the pack here and often the instigator of the fun and games but she will initially come into any new home as submissive and shy. Barbie could live with respectful children aged twe...

Nami – 4 year old female Cross-Breed

Image
Nami is one of the 27 dogs rescued from a hoarding case back in October — a group of dogs who had never experienced normal life, kindness, or a safe environment. Everything around them was unfamiliar, overwhelming, and often frightening. But Nami… Nami is one of the success stories in the making. She has made incredible progress since coming into our care. From a very scared and unsure girl, she is now so excited to see us, she is walking on a lead and becoming much more comfortable around people. You can truly see her confidence growing day by day. She is gentle, observant, and slowly learning that the world can be a kind place. Nami absolutely loves other dogs and takes a lot of comfort from them, so she will need a home with a friendly, confident dog to help guide her. She is still more wary of men, but she is getting better, and with time and patience, we believe she will continue to build trust. While she has come so far, Nami may always be a little shy in new situations or ...

Jharna – 9 year old female German Pointer

Image
Hi… I’m Jharna I’m a 9-year-old German Pointer, and somehow, after everything, I still believe in love. I was found in the middle of nowhere by kind tourists who saw that I wasn’t okay. They took me to the vet, and that’s when my story came out… I had a microchip, but I had spent my life being used only for breeding. Over and over again. And when I was no longer “useful,” it was easy to let me go. But here’s the funny thing… I didn’t let any of that take away who I am. Because I am still the most loving, gentle, people-obsessed girl you will ever meet. I will follow you around, lean into you, and soak up every bit of affection like I’ve been waiting for it my whole life… because I have. I have a strong nose (typical Pointer ), and I love being outdoors. Walks, little adventures, exploring new smells… I’m always ready. And yes, I may be 9, but don’t let that fool you — I still have plenty of life, energy, and joy to share. I can live with other dogs, or I can be your one and only...

Bertie – 1 year old male Beagle

Image
Bertie is a 1 year old male Beagle. Bertie is a sweet sensitive boy who is looking for a very experienced home. Bertie needs commitment to ongoing behavioural training. Bertie will be looking for an active home who will meet both his physical and mental needs. He is looking for a kind and patient home to help support him during his adolescence and to support his sensitive side. Bertie would prefer a quieter home with access to his own secure garden. He is house trained, OK travelling, and OK left alone for short periods. Bertie is friendly and affectionate with known people but can be timid initially with new people. He will need support with being introduced to visitors coming to the home. Ideally, we are looking to place Bertie to a home where there is minimal interaction with visitors. We advise he is best in an ADULT ONLY home. Bertie is social with other dogs and likes having friends but would like to be the only dog please. Could not live with cats. Bertie is currently und...

Image

He loves cuddles, attention, and being involved in whatever his humans are doing. Topi is everything you would expect from a young puppy: playful, curious, and full of life.

Toffee – 2 year old male Cross-Breed

Image
Meet Toffee, a 2-year-old small-medium male mix breed. Toffee’s journey hasn’t been easy. He was found on the streets after being severely abused and abandoned by his previous owner. When he first arrived at the shelter last November, he was terrified of human touch and didn’t understand what was happening. It took weeks of gentle care and patience before he began to trust people again. Today, Toffee is a loving, playful little bundle of joy. He adores cuddles, loves playtime, and is friendly with everyone he meets, including children. He walks nicely on the lead and quickly makes friends wherever he goes. He also gets along nicely with other dogs, especially females. After all he’s been through, Toffee deserves a forever home where he is cherished and included in family life, rather than left alone for long periods. He thrives on companionship and love, and like all rescue dogs, he will need time and patience to settle into his new home. Toffee would happily live with a friendl...

Adonis – 6 year old male Labrador Retriever Cross

Image
Meet Adonis Adonis is a Labrador Retriever mix, around 6 years old, and one of the 27 dogs rescued last October from a heartbreaking hoarding situation — a place where fear and neglect shaped the start of his life. When he first came to us, Adonis was completely shut down. He kept his distance, unsure of everything around him, and had no reason to trust the world or the people in it. But slowly, with patience and gentle care, Adonis has begun to blossom… and what a transformation it has been. Today, he is a completely different boy. Adonis now comes over for cuddles — something that once felt impossible — and it’s truly incredible to watch. Each time he chooses to come close, to lean in, to accept love, it feels like a small victory. He is still a sensitive, slightly shy soul, especially in new or unfamiliar situations, but he is learning every day that he is safe. He walks beautifully on a lead, happily takes treats, and most importantly, he wants to connect. Adonis is looking f...

Molly – 4 year old female Cross-Breed

Image
Molly is a 4 year old female Cross-Breed. Molly is a very friendly and affectionate girl who is medium sized (about 20kg). She was rescued off the streets about two years ago by an independent rescuer. Molly was far too friendly to be living on the streets and had already given birth to a few litters of pups. The rescuer kept Molly safe at her house until this year when Molly came into our care. She is now living with our other dogs at the boarding kennel. Molly has a lovely calm demeanor. She loves it when the volunteers visit and gravitates towards them getting as much attention as she can. She will lay on the floor submissively offering her belly for belly rubs. She is a very easy going dog, you can pamper her, brush her teeth etc and she will welcome it all! She would be okay to live in a home with other dogs but would be equally happy being the only dog since she’s so affectionate and is more interested in people than other dogs. We can cat test her if needed as we are...

Gabe – 2 year old male Cross-Breed

Image
Meet GABE, a 2.5 year old, mixed breed boy and the TRUE definition of a cutie?patootie! Gabe is elegance on four paws. Watching him move today is nothing short of amazing, especially when you know where he started. He was found abandoned in the forest with a total hip dislocation — an old, untreated injury and he was seriously underweight After surgery, he recovered so beautifully he didn’t even need physio. Our superstar volunteers helped him rebuild strength and taught his left hind leg how to move confidently again. Now he’s 4 kg stronger, shinier, healthier, and even more wonderful than before — he is now 17 kg. And his personality? Pure gold. Gabe loves cuddles, loves walks, loves toys, loves kids, loves food (excellent for training), and loves other dogs — females in particular. He’s simply the best boy. Gabe is one of those dogs who touches everybody’s heart and he so deserves a second chance with a family who will love and cherish him. He will be the most loyal friend a...

Louie – 1 year old male Labradoodle

Image
Louie is a 1 year old male labradoodle who, due to a change of circumstances, finds that his fosterers are unable to keep him permanently, so we’re back on the search for his forever home. Just a baby, Louie the Labradoodle is only a year old, and he has experienced a lot of upheaval in his life. As such, he is an anxious lad and we are looking for a compassionate home, with a patient owner who will help him to feel safe and happy. ? In the home and with those he trusts, Louie is amazingly loyal, loving and affectionate. He loves cuddles and devotes himself quickly to the people who he knows he is safe with. He is super quick (and eager) to learn, and he’ll thrive with structured, reward-based training. Although he enjoys outdoor adventures, Louie needs some help with learning how to walk nicely on a lead. With time, patience and consistency, we’re confident that he will soon learn the ropes. We have already seen great progress in this area since he has been in foster care. ? Loui...

Bruno – 2 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross French Bulldog

Image
Meet Bruno, a handsome two year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross French Bulldog who is ready to find his forever family. He is a compact little pocket rocket who sadly came into our care through no fault of his own when his previous owner’s circumstances changed, meaning they had to work longer hours and Bruno was increasingly being left alone at home. Bruno is a friendly, boisterous, and affectionate boy who absolutely loves attention. If you have a hand free for belly rubs, Bruno will gladly be your best friend for life. He is incredibly playful, loves his toys, and has a great adventurous spirit, meaning he is always excited to get out and explore the big wide world with you. Because he is still young and full of life, Bruno is rather excitable and would benefit from some ongoing basic training. Do not let his compact size fool you — he is a strong little powerhouse who can pull on the lead when he is eager to explore, so he will need a handler who can help guide ...

Suzy – 1 year old female Cross-Breed

Image
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...

Breeze – 6 year old female Whippet cross Lurcher

Image
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 – 4 month old female Cross-Breed

Image
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...
