John – 7 year old male Cross-Breed

John is a 7 year old neutered male mixed breed weighing approximately 30 kg, currently in foster care in Scotland.

John has had a difficult start in life. He was previously kept chained and later lived as a stray before being rescued. After spending three years safely with his rescuer, he travelled to the UK and is now ready to find a permanent home.

He is described as affectionate, sociable and steady-natured. John enjoys human company and has met children aged 10 and over, interacting positively with them. He is confident, playful and enjoys attention and companionship.

John shares well with other dogs and is polite and easy-going in canine company. He currently lives with a cat and budgies in foster care without issue inside the home.

However, when out on walks he can show interest in cats and may attempt to chase, so ongoing management will be important.

He is fully housetrained and accepts wearing a collar and lead. He walks well but can pull at times due to excitement, particularly at the start of walks.

Continued lead training will help him progress further. He enjoys regular exercise and benefits from access to good walking areas.

John is intelligent and responsive and has good manners within the home. He would suit an active household able to provide structure, routine and companionship.

Phoebe is a 1-2 year old female Shepherd Cross. She sleeps downstairs in a large crate with the door open. Her current owner has been sleeping downstairs with her. She will sometimes wake during the night to make her home aware she needs the toilet. Phoebe wakes up most mornings at 6 am. Phoebe is happy to be groomed/brushed by the female in the home. Phoebe enjoys going out into the garden to sniff around and explore. She goes out on a slip lead with no issues. Phoebe has yet to go for a proper walk due to her building her confidence in the garden first and getting used to the lead. It is encouraged that she should wear a harness but this has yet to be introduced. Positive reward training and allowing Phoebe to explore the harness initially will need to be carried out. She hasn’t been left unattended in the home since arrival so correct training around leaving her for short periods will be vital to prevent anxiety behaviours. Phoebe listens to commands well and will sit for treat...

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!
