Felix is an 18 month old male medium sized lanky crossbreed. We met Felix back in March when we visited the Botosani public shelter in Romania. He was in a sorry state, skeletal, filthy and terrified. He’d recently been split from his brothers who had badly attacked him. By the time Felix travelled to us a few weeks later he’d gained weight as he’d no longer been fed amongst bullying siblings that didn’t allow him to eat. He was still terrified of the prospect of human touch and spent his first days here studiously avoiding us. Thankfully Felix has an inherent nosy, meddlesome, zany personality and his curiosity in us bustling little humans soon got the better of him. He began watching at a distance but gradually got closer and closer until he was fully embroiled in all the goings on. Felix is now a cheeky, comical and fun-loving boy who is ready to look for his new home. Felix is now a really confident and affectionate dog, even with strangers which is rare for a dog with his po

Loki is a 10 month old male Cross-Breed. Loki is a rescue from Cyprus currently living in Carshalton, London. Following a change in his family’s circumstances, they feel Loki would be better at finding a new home. Here is a little about him: Loki is a playful boy who has discovered he really enjoys the comfort being in a home offers him! His mum was a small Labrador type of around 16 kg and we think Loki will be around 22 kg when fully grown. He was rescued with his mum, 2 brothers and 2 sisters. His siblings are living happily with their families in the UK and we would love for Loki to have the same opportunity. He is housetrained and sleeps through the night. Loki enjoys playing with other dogs and would be really happy to share his new home with another dog. He would also be happy on his own providing his family were there for him to help him settle and enjoy his new life. Loki is still a baby and would be able to share his new home with children used to dogs who don’t mind

Toby and Bertie are a 9-year-old male Jack Russell Terrier, predominantly black and tan in color. His friendly and confident demeanor makes him a joy to have in the home, as he warmly greets visitors and happily jumps into their laps. Toby thrives in an environment where someone is present for most of the day, seeking companionship and attention. Bertie, Toby’s brother, is also 9 years old and a male Jack Russell Terrier with a tri-color coat. Unlike his more outgoing sibling, Bertie is a bit timid and can be nervous when meeting new people. As such, he would benefit from a quiet, adult-only home where someone is around for most of the day to provide reassurance and support. Ideally, the pair is looking for a loving home where they can stay together, given their strong bond as brothers. However, separate homes will be considered if the right match is found. Both Toby and Bertie require an owner experienced with terriers to provide them with the care and understanding they need.

Given his unique needs, Jonny is seeking an experienced and active owner in an adult-only home. He has the potential to coexist with other dogs, but a household without cats is essential. Jonny, although capable of being left alone for extended periods, is not a fan of long car journeys, emphasizing the importance of findin

Loki is a seven-year-old male Podenco mix currently residing in Southgate, North London. Due to his growing discomfort and nervousness around a toddler in his previous home, Loki is in search of a new family that can provide him with the calm and laid-back lifestyle he craves. Despite not being an Underdog originally, responsible rehoming is a priority, and Loki’s family has made the difficult decision to find him a suitable home. This medium-sized Podenco mix has been nothing but loved during his time with his previous family, but the unpredictable movements of the toddler have caused him stress and unrest. Loki is known for his natural submission and occasional nervousness. He particularly enjoys the attention of trusted adults, nudging for a stroke, and displaying affection, even if you have a cup of tea in your hand. When welcoming new people at the door, Loki barks initially but quickly warms up, bringing them a toy and sitting beside them for affection. Loki’s ideal home

He is best in a one-person home where there is no competition for attention. Once he knows and trusts you he is a fabulous boy. But he does need a dog-experienced, dog-confident person who will listen to him and not put him in situations he cannot cope with. He cannot be placed with children and although he loves other dogs outside the home he doesn’t like sharing his home and people with them so needs to be the only dog. Below is his carers write up. “After an unsuitable adoption attempt last October (and through absolutely no fault of his own), Bailey came back to me in foster care after two days.
