Freya – 10 year old female Cross-Breed

Image
Freya is a large crossbreed female aged around ten years old. Freya fostered Kings Lynn Norfolk. 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. She mixes well with all dogs but is quite a dominant member of the pack. She keeps all the youngsters at the shelter in check with a firm but fair approach and they all love and respect her for that. She could also live happily as the only dog in the home. Freya is an affectionate and loyal companion who would suit someone with large breed experience who can pamper her in her twilight years. She would be ok 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 might upset your dog. If your dog panics, then a slip lead is the only way t...

Orion – 1 year old male Cross-Breed

Image
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...

Cleo – 11 month old female Cross-Breed

Image
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...

Image
Malna is a 3 year old crossbreed girl, she was dumped on the roadside along with her sister at about 2.5 months of age. She is medium size, weight: 15 kg, shoulder height: 44 cm. Malna is a lovely girl, she is friendly and kind and loves everyone. She is energetic and playful and sociable around her doggie mates. She enjoys nothing more than running around in the fields with other dogs, playing a chase. She cooperates nicely with humans too and is very kind with humans. She enjoys car rides and is good around children too. She also walks nicely on the lead. Malna would be best suited for a family where she is not left alone for extended periods and she is included in her family’s activities. She would be happiest in an active family, she would happily be your company on long walks, hikes and holidays. Older dog savvy children will be considered. Malna would probably be happiest living with another playful dog but she could also live happily as the only dog and the centre of atten...

Maddie – 12 year old female English Springer Spaniel

Image
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. Maddie is an ex-working gundog and had spent her entire life living in kennels. Heartbreakingly, when her owner could no longer keep his dogs, Maddie was facing euthanasia simply because there was nowhere for her to go. Thankfully, she is now safe with us and beginning the next chapter of her life. Despite never having lived in a house before, Maddie has settled beautifully into home life. She is a typical Spaniel who simply craves love and companionship. Wherever you are, she wants to be there too, usually lying beside you and making sure she’s touching you in some way. It is as though she is making up for all those years without the comforts of family life. She is a gentle, affectionate soul who loves nothing more than being ...

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...

Morits – 8 year old male Cross-Breed

Image
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. This handsome boy may be 8, but he still has so much life and love to give. 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 – 5-6 year old female Cross-Breed

Image
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. 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 n...

Aspen – 10 month old male Beagle Cross

Image
Aspen is a 10 month old Beagle mix who’s life got off to a very rocky start. He was abandoned as a young puppy in Cyprus and found seriously unwell with parvovirus. After spending time in the vets and making a full recovery, he joined the shelter and eventually travelled to the UK as a foster. Since arriving, it’s been a bit of a journey for him, and it’s taken time to really understand what he needs to feel settled and secure. After struggling to find the right fit in a home environment, Aspen has spent the last couple of months in kennels, where he has surprised everyone with just how well he’s done. With clear routines, patient handling and consistent care, he has really come into himself. He’s responded brilliantly to basic training, built very strong relationships with the staff and grown hugely in confidence. Aspen is a clever, energetic young dog, but new and unfamiliar situations can still feel overwhelming for him, and are often made more challenging by the fact that he i...

Hettie weighs twenty kilos and measures fourteen inches from shoulder to paw. Very sadly Hettie was surrendered to our Cyprus shelter by her extremely distressed elderly owner who was unable to keep her. Hettie is the perfect readymade family dog with perfect manners.

Captain – 4 year old male Labrador Retriever Cross

Image
Captain is a 4.5 year old, medium-sized, male, lab cross who was abandoned in Cyprus by his owner 9 months ago. We will never know his full story—maybe his family moved away, or maybe they just decided they no longer wanted him. Whatever the reason, Captain was left behind: alone, confused, and heartbroken. The fact that this boy is so loving and affectionate towards humans is a testament to him. Perhaps it’s because he knows exactly what he has lost and he longs to find that again. He adores being around humans and is just such a happy boy. He doesn’t deserve to be in a kennel. Captain has shown to be selective with other dogs so needs to be the only dog. He can be fostered, fostered with a view to adopt, or simply adopted. Everyone involved in Captain’s plight is desperate to see him happy in a home. He is one of those dogs that it is quite heartbreaking to see him stuck in a kennel for close to 24 hours a day. Captain will of course need patience and time to settle into a home,...

Toffee weighs a perfect twenty-one kilos and measures seventeen inches from shoulder to paw. Having been found abandoned on the streets, Toffee has been in our Cyprus shelter for one month.

Meet Connie – From Surviving to Thriving Connie is a 2 year old female Puli Cross. Her story began in a public pound, where she grew up in harsh conditions. A year ago, she was rescued in a heartbreaking state – skin and bone, frightened and frail. With care, love, and patience, Connie has blossomed into a happy, affectionate girl. Today she’s full of life – her waggy tail never stops, she adores treats and cuddles, and she has even learned to smile when she’s with the people she loves. This beautiful girl has learned to trust again! Connie loves the company of other dogs and is especially playful – wrestling and mingling are her favourite games!

Raggie – 10 year old male Cross-Breed

Image
Raggie is a medium sized crossbreed aged around ten years old. Raggie fostered Norwich. Raggie was rescued from a kill shelter in Romania when he was a youngster and has lived in a private shelter since then. Despite having a nice place to stay all these years it was not a proper home and we really want his retirement to be something more comfortable. Raggie is a sweet and inquisitive boy who enjoys the company of other dogs and is absolutely fine with the safe rescue cat. He would like a quietish home environment with at least one other calm dog in residence. He is not really used to a lot of human contact but is adapting well to human interaction and beginning to really seek it out. He has surpassed all expectations as we expected him to be much more independent. He’s just a dear old chap that doesn’t really ask much out of life at all. 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 an...

Hazel – 3 year old female Shepherd Cross

Image
Meet Hazel, a 3 year old female Shepherd Cross who is ready for her forever home. Hazel has made significant progress in her behaviour thanks to a dedicated foster home, but she still requires a calm, adult-only environment to continue her journey. Hazel is a playful dog who loves her toys and enjoys cuddles. While she takes time to warm up to new people, she is loyal and intelligent, eager to show off her tricks. As a large, active dog, she needs around two hours of exercise each day and would thrive with a confident resident dog. The ideal home for Hazel is one with experienced owners who can provide the ongoing training she needs. A secure garden and access to quiet walking areas are essential, as she may feel anxious in busy environments. Additionally, her new family should be prepared to help her adjust to new surroundings, as she can be nervous at first. Hazel is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, with lifelong rescue backup and support available. If you can offer her t...

Image
Dora is a 3 year old female Labrador Cross. She is looking for a forever home. She is neutered, chipped, and vaccinated. She is now moved to kennels in Preesall. Dora is a wonderful dog and has brought her owners lots of happiness. She is incredibly clever, learns commands very quickly and loves to play! Dora is such a playful and happy girl and has her owners laughing every day with her cheeky personality. Dora travels well in the car and is happy just sleeping when she is left at home alone. She shows can be reactive to humans when out on walks, although has made lots of progress with this recently and is becoming much more relaxed around new people and dogs. Visitors can be managed once she knows people well, and she does form close bonds with others outside of her family who she adores! Dora cannot be homed with young children due to her reactivity and general bounciness. She is also very fearful of cats. Dora can sometimes guard food and spaces but again has shown much imp...
