Prairie Dog

Hey there, I’m Nelson! I’m a 2 year old male Cross-Breed and a big boy with an even bigger personality. If you’re looking for a fun, active, and loving companion, then look no further – I’m your guy! I might be a big lad, but I’m also a huge cuddle bug. I absolutely love being around people, soaking up all the attention and giving back plenty of love in return. I’m super playful and always ready for some fun, whether it’s chasing a ball, going for a run, or just goofing around. I’m also super smart and really want to please – I’m a fast learner and love picking up new tricks. No one really knows what my past was like. Somehow, I ended up in a pound facing the worst kind of risk, but let’s not dwell on that. I’m all about looking forward to the good life ahead! I might not know who abandoned me, but one thing’s for sure – they had no idea what a gem they threw away. I’m great with other dogs, so I’d love to have a buddy to hang out with. But I can also be happy as an only dog, as l...

Billie is a 2 year old female Labrador Retriever. Dog friendly but would prefer to be the only dog or live with another friendly male dog. Not cat tested so no cats. No children under 18 years of age. Billie is crate and house trained, she has perfect recall and will walk nicely on a lead.

Homecheck, reference checks and adoption fee apply. Billie will have full RBU and behavioural support for life.

Isadora is a two to three year old medium sized crossbreed. Isadora is fostered in Norwich Norfolk. Isadora was taken into the Botosani public shelter in Romania, along with an unremembered number of siblings, when she was just a baby. She is an example of why we work so hard to get all pups out while they are still pups. She grew up there, spent her adolescence there, never seeing the outside of her concrete pen. She missed out on the silliness and care free attitude of youth because she was concentrating on staying alive. When we met her at two years old she had learnt to be cautious of some people and she hadn’t experienced as much as the feeling of grass under her feet. She arrived here a few weeks ago and she had to learn it all from scratch. As you can see from her pics, the girl has learnt well and she has learnt pretty fast! She is now a cheeky character who dares to push herself forward in the pack in her foster home. She is the instigator of most of the games, she tries...

Justice is a smallish crossbreed, aged around one and a half years old. Justice is fostered in Norwich, Norfolk. Justice created quite a stir with a single video which we shared while on our most recent visit to Botosani Public Shelter in Romania. She looked so scared but she is a plucky little lady after just a short time in a foster home. She is still a puppy and will need ongoing training for being left on her own. Currently she goes to work with her foster mum who is a dog walker. She will make an amazing addition to an active home, dog walks, toys and her canine friends are her absolute favourite things. We will only consider homes with at least one resident dog. Justice is very bright and responds well to confident handling and loves her food which makes training her easy. She will need ongoing desensitisation to new things in the next months but she only took days to settle in her foster home. She has met the cat and was fine with him and could live with respectful children ...

Mickey is a 1.5 year old male Maltese and is currently in Cyprus, ready to fly to the UK. We have been told he was bought as a purebred from a pet shop in Cyprus, and the person who bought this little darling had him living in his open farm area, where he wandered around all the nearby fields. He is now safe in a foster home in Cyprus, and what a brilliant little guy we have. He is very nice, easygoing, good with other dogs and cats. Adores people, very loving, just wants cuddles and loves nothing more than being on people’s laps. He is housetrained, also knows how to pee on puppy pads, sleeps very well through the night with other dogs in the bedroom, enjoys a run around in the garden, and mixes with all size dogs without a second thought. Mickey is a healthy boy, fully vaccinated, neutered, has had blood tests and a Brucella Canis test, and is ready to fly and land on your sofa in January. RBU VIA STAR

Murray is a medium sized crossbreed aged around eight months old. Murray is fostered in Wymondham Norfolk. Murray has had the worst start in life possible. Abandoned at the Botosani public shelter as a tiny puppy by people who never cared for him in the first place. His early weeks spent as one of 150 puppies, none of them being handled, socialised or anything but the most basic of care. When it came to the day that he was due to travel to us he had contracted a bad dose of kennel cough and he couldn’t travel, meaning more formative weeks spent in much the same way. When he arrived in our care he was traumatised and shut down and had no positive expectations left in his body or soul. A few weeks on and he is doing better. He walks on a lead now, as long as he can walk next to another dog. He can be picked up and cuddled without stiffening in fear, learning to actually enjoy it is the next step. He wagged his tail for the first time last week at food time, and even surprised himse...

Luna is an 8-year-old female German Shepherd. She loves playing with her toys and is very fond of having a comfy bed to relax in. Luna was rescued from a home where her previous owner, despite loving her deeply, could no longer care for her properly. Her current state is one of good health and fitness, and she is fully house-trained, making her ready for a smooth transition into her next home. Due to her limited socialisation experiences, Luna can be dominant with other dogs. As such, her ideal home would be one without other dogs, where she can be the sole focus of attention. She hasn’t been tested around cats, so her behaviour toward them is unknown. Her perfect match would be an active family, preferably with older children, who can provide her with the time and attention she deserves. Small children might not be the best fit for her, given her past experiences and dominant tendencies. Luna’s new family will need to undergo a home check, and an adoption fee will be required a...

Frankie is an 8-year-old male Mioritic Shepherd. Standing tall at 67cm and weighing 40kg, Frankie is a large and handsome dog with a strong, protective nature. Despite his size, Frankie is a playful, bouncy, and inquisitive companion who thrives on interaction, especially with the male in his current household. Frankie has shown himself to be a confident and happy dog in certain situations. He sleeps well throughout the night without disturbances, indicating that he feels secure and relaxed in the right environment. Unfortunately, Frankie has experienced challenges adapting to his current home, where he has developed a fearful reaction towards the woman in the house. This behaviour may stem from his traumatic past, where trust was likely broken, and he now appears to be protective of the male he feels bonded to. A behavioural specialist was suggested to help Frankie overcome these issues, but the current family has chosen not to pursue this route. It is clear that Frankie would b...

Please meet bubbly Beattie! Beattie is a two year old female Cross-Breed, believed to be a dapple Mini Dachshund mix, and she weighs just 3kg. Despite her very small size, she is a little pocket rocket who loves life. Beattie will happily take to anything and takes everything in her stride. In a word, she is amazing, and whoever adopts her will be very lucky indeed! Beattie came to us as an unclaimed stray. How nobody was frantically looking for her, I will never know! She adores everyone and everything, and she could live with cats, dogs, and children aged 8 and upwards. Due to her very tiny size, small children would not be suitable. Beattie is actually bonkers—so full of energy and enthusiasm, she will make you laugh all the time with her antics! She loves chasing the dogs around the farm, is great on the lead, and brilliant off-lead in a secure field. She is usually right under your feet asking to be picked up! This beautiful little lady has settled well into our routine and ...

Meet the fabulous Tux, aka Mr. Tuxedo! Tux is a 2 year old male Hound Cross, weighing 24kg and standing around 57cm to the shoulder. The fabulous Mr. Tuxedo is one of 10 dogs that we rescued from one of the biggest municipal pounds at the beginning of November. At the pound, he was in one of the communal pens with a number of other dogs. He was being a bit bullied by some of the other dogs, so is cautious initially with new dogs. This gorgeous, big-eared boy charmed us from the very beginning. He is an extremely well-mannered, gentle-natured young dog. He gets on with other dogs, wags his tail non-stop at humans, takes treats gently, and walks well on a lead. Tux is only around 2 years old, but he has the calm energy of an older dog. He’s playful and super friendly, but he isn’t bouncy or over-enthusiastic. I’m sure that you can tell how much we love this boy! We believe that Tux would be a good fit for any family and will be a really lovely companion and loyal friend. SPDC adop...

Meet the sweet and lovable Raffi! Raffi is a 4.5 year old male German Pointer, weighing 18.6kg and standing around 50cm to the shoulder. Raffi is one of 10 dogs that we rescued from an overcrowded municipal pound at the beginning of November. We caught sight of him in a kennel on his own at the back of the pound. He was peering over and wagging at us from a distance. We were told that he’d been bullied by some of the other dogs and was now on his own. This boy is a heartbreaker! Raffi melted all our hearts as soon as we met him. He is around 4 and a half years old, and it’s very clear from his body language that he hasn’t seen the best side of humans. Despite that, he’s so loving and so gentle, and once he is sure of your intentions, he really loves to be made a fuss of. Raffi is probably an abandoned hunting dog. He makes himself small when he approaches you, as though waiting to be reprimanded, maybe even struck. But he overcomes his nervousness because he really likes people. ...

Meet the stunning Bobbie! Bobbie is an 18 month old female German Pointer, weighing 22.6kg and standing around 70cm to the shoulder. Everyone who sees Bobbie literally gasps at how gorgeous she is! She is one of 10 dogs that we rescued from an overcrowded municipal pound at the beginning of November. She was in a pen with a number of other dogs, and although there was no fighting, it was obviously quite overwhelming for her. When we brought her to the sanctuary and she had her own big kennel and a large yard to run around in, the transformation was almost immediate! Even her coat seemed shinier. Bobbie is the wiggliest, waggliest girl! Her whole body moves with her happy waggy tail. She is a typical German Pointer; smart, active, affectionate, and funny. She will need an active home, prepared to exercise her both physically and mentally. She’ll enjoy enrichment games and nice long walks. Some working breed knowledge or experience is preferable. Bobbie is always in motion when we...
