We believe that a dog can lift our mood, change our day, keep us active and transform a house into a home. They offer freely what humans can spend a lifetime learning – the ability to love unconditionally. They save our lives in so many ways; we owe it to dogs to return this amazing loyalty.
By adopting a dog through Wild at Heart Foundation, you’ll be playing a vital part in ending the struggle of stray dogs all over the world. Sincerely, we want to thank you for choosing to rescue a dog who needs your help more than most. If you’re ready to find your perfect companion, start your search here or fill in an adoption form!

Let's go play!
Reef and his mum Magnolia, were found together sheltering at the back of a hotel. They were both in good health and were taken in to the safety of our partner shelter nearby, where they are each now awaiting a forever home in the UK.
Reef is a cheerful puppy who takes after his mum by always being a happy & friendly chap and having a big wag in his tail! He is very sociable with other dogs and people, he especially loves a big cuddle and tummy rub from the shelter volunteers when they come to visit. Given his friendly nature, we can consider homes with a resident dog as we are sure Reef will enjoy an extra playmate but do bear in mind that Reef is likely to be a larger dog when fully grown, so extra space in the home & a confident, accepting playmate would be appreciated!
Another of Reef’s favourite things is a tasty snack! He goes crazy for a tasty snack to gobble up and would eat all day if he could! He is a clever boy and is learning some basic lead training at the shelter but we’re sure that Reef will be really eager to learn a whole host of tricks once he’s settled into his new home… especially if it means there’s more treats up for grabs!
Like most young pups, Reef is keen for adventure and is very curious about his surroundings. He also has lots of playful energy that he will need lots of outlets for in his new home. We hope to find him a family that are keen to take him on lots of engaging walks where he can run around and let off some steam, as well as lots of playtime at home of course!
Reef hasn’t been tested with cats or children so we will be assessing his suitability on a case by case basis.
Please note, Reef won’t be travelling until at least the end of May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Reef as soon as possible!

Beautiful bouncy girl!
Meet the very lovely Jana, who was found nearby a farm when our partner shelter picked her up for neutering, as part of their spay & release programme. She was clearly underweight & given that winter was coming, Jana’s foster decided to keep her in their care, where she continued to charm her foster family with her sweet nature! Now that Jana is back to full health, it is finally her turn to find the loving home that she deserves.
Jana is a delightful, happy girl who just wants to be cuddled & adored! Jana was originally residing at our partner shelter, but she found the hustle & bustle of shelter life overwhelming at times, so has since moved to a foster home, where she can’t get enough of the home comforts! She specifically enjoys have a good brush & following around her foster carer asking for more cuddles! We have no doubt that this wonderful girl will make an excellent companion & will soon make her new house a home.
Despite being one of the older residents when she was at the shelter, Jana is living proof that age is just a number! She is particularly young at heart, with a puppy like nature! She absolutely loves playing with her toys & had no problems keeping up with the younger dogs & puppies at the shelter. As such, we can definitely consider homes with a resident doggy (or cat!) sibling for Jana.
Jana has a full of life character & considering that she loves her walks, we will be looking for a family who are keen to have a happy companion by their side on plenty of adventures, after all she will need to burn off some energy before she can do her second favourite activity – snoozing on her favourite humans lap!
We would love to find Jana a home in at least a semi-rural area where she can enjoy her walks & afternoon naps in plenty of peace & quiet. She has had interaction with children but given that she can be unsure of loud, sudden noises, we would prefer homes with older children who are calm & sensible around dogs.
Jana is already fairly used to living in a home but adopters need to be aware that during the long journey to the UK, it is natural for dogs to regress slightly. Jana will need time to adapt & take in her new surroundings but we are sure that before long, she will be scoping out her favourite spot on the sofa & will relish being spoiled rotten, which is exactly what this darling girl deserves.
On arrival at the shelter Jana did have Anaplasmosis, which is a tick related disease but she has since been treated & given the all clear.
Please note, Jana won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Jana as soon as possible!

Big beautiful eyes
Ivan and her siblings were found alone in Greece at around 1 month old and were previously living in a foster home in Greece for the last two months but they are now residing in our partner shelter. Now they are safe & healthy, they’re ready to embark on their freedom journey to their forever homes, which we can’t wait to find for them!
Ivan is a very attentive & clever chap! He loved getting attention from his foster mum and particularly loves a belly rub or two! Ivan also isn’t short of a few compliments for his impressive, light amber eyes! As with most puppies, Ivan enjoys playing with his siblings and his personality is developing each day.
Before coming to our partner shelter, Ivan hadn’t had much socialisation outside his foster home & he was nervous when seeing the neighbours in adjoining properties. He is becoming more confident each day & was learning to trust the neighbours but he will need continued training to help build his confidence around strangers & new experiences.
Ivan was previously living in his foster home with other adult dogs and enjoyed spending time & playing with them. The resident dogs were bigger than him and he grew confident around them, however he could initially be wary of strange & bigger dogs. As Ivan gets on well with other dogs, we are able to consider homes with other, friendly & gentle resident dogs that can teach Ivan that the world isn’t so scary!
Ivan is generally ok with the cats in his foster home but he doesn’t have regular socialisation. For this reason, Ivan may be able to live with a confident & friendly cat, but we will be considering homes with cats on a case by case basis.
Ivan has had some basic collar & lead training but the pups do not go for regular walks to build up this training, so lots more puppy training will be needed!
Due to the rural area Ivan has been exposed to & his more nervous nature when meeting strangers, we will only be considering quiet homes in at least a semi-rural area. He has not been tested with children so we will be watching how his personality develops & considering homes with older, dog savvy children on a case by case basis.
Please note, Ivan won’t be travelling until at least the end of May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Ivan as soon as possible!

On your lap
Iro and her siblings were found alone in Greece at around 1 month old and were previously living in a foster home in Greece for the last two months but they are now residing in our partner shelter. Now they are safe & healthy, they’re ready to embark on their freedom journey to their forever homes, which we can’t wait to find for them!
Iro is a sweet, calm and gentle girl. She is generally more calm & relaxed than some of her siblings but of course this could change as her confidence & puppy personality develops and she will need lots of puppy training & stimulation. Iro loves nothing more than sitting as close to you as possible, preferably on your lap! She was always following her foster mum around so will need some training on becoming more independent & enjoying her own company.
Before coming to the shelter, Iro hadn’t had much socialisation outside of her foster home & she was nervous when seeing the neighbours in adjoining properties. She is becoming more confident each day & was learning to trust the neighbours but she will need continued training to help build her confidence around strangers & new experiences.
In her foster home, Iro was living with other adult dogs and mixed well with them. She’s very social & enjoys playing with other dogs.

Keen to explore
Ralou and her siblings were found alone in Greece at around 1 month old and were previously living in a foster home in Greece for the last two months but they are now residing in our partner shelter. Now they are safe & healthy, they’re ready to embark on their freedom journey to their forever homes, which we can’t wait to find for them!
Ralou is a very independent & brave girl that enjoys exploring! Ralou hadn’t had much socialisation outside of her foster home & she was nervous when seeing the neighbours in adjoining properties. She is becoming more confident each day & was learning to trust the neighbours but she will need continued training to help build her confidence around strangers & new experiences.
When Ralou was in her foster home she was living with other adult dogs and mixed well with them, even enjoying a bit of puppy play time! Some of the resident dogs were at least double her current size and she grew confident mixing with them, however she could initially be wary of strange & bigger dogs. As Ralou gets on well with other dogs, we are able to consider homes with other, friendly & gentle resident dogs that can help lead the way for Ralou.
Ralou has also had some socialisation with cats but she is particularly interested in them & likes to chase them up the tree in the garden, fondly staring at them from the floor! For this reason, we won’t be considering homes with cats as Ralou is unlikely to gel well with feline friends.
Ralou has had some basic collar & lead training but the pups do not go for regular walks to build up this training, so lots more puppy training will be needed! She is also an energetic pup who would benefit from adopters who are mostly at home & who are looking for an active dog who can join in on big walks with them, when old enough and ready!
Due to the rural area Ralou has been exposed to & her more nervous nature when meeting strangers, we will only be considering quiet homes in at least a semi-rural area. She has not been tested with children so we will be watching how her personality develops & considering homes with older, dog savvy children on a case by case basis.

Sensitive shy sweetheart
Barley and her siblings were found alone in Greece at around 1 month old and were previously living in a foster home in Greece for the last two months but they are now residing in our partner shelter. Now they are safe & healthy, they’re ready to embark on their freedom journey to their forever homes, which we can’t wait to find for them!
Barley is a shy and sensitive girl. She is the most nervous out of her siblings & she will certainly need understanding adopters who will give her lots of time to come out of her shell once she arrives in her new home. We will be looking for experienced adopters who can offer Barley plenty of guidance & lots of patience whilst she learns to build her confidence. Barley’s delicate personality is still developing each day, but given the right amount of training & special care, we think Barley will slowly learn that the world is not so scary after all.
Barley can be insecure & unsure when she is in new situations. She hasn’t had much socialisation outside of her foster home & often shows her anxiety by being vocal or hiding away when she sees someone new. Barley is also not keen on being touched or cuddled by people that she has not built a bond with. Over time, she has learned to trust her foster carer but it will be important that Barley’s adopters commit to regular training to help build her confidence around strangers & new experiences.
Barley is living in a home with other adult dogs & mixes fine with them, although she much prefers hanging out by herself & it is likely that she could initially be wary of strange & bigger dogs when she is out socialising. As Barley gets on well with other dogs & given her nervous nature, we are ideally looking for a home with another friendly, gentle, neutral resident dog that can help bring out Barley’s confidence.
Barley was generally ok with the cats in her foster home but she didn’t have regular socialisation. For this reason, Barley may be able to live with a confident & friendly cat, but we will be considering homes with cats on a case by case basis.
Barley has had some collar training but has had minimal lead walking, so lots more puppy training will be needed when she is in her new home!
Due to the rural area Barley has been exposed to & her more nervous nature when meeting strangers, we will only be considering quiet & calm homes, preferably in a rural area. She has not been tested with children so we will be watching how her personality develops & will potentially consider homes with older, dog savvy children on a case by case basis.
Please note, Barley won’t be travelling until at least the end of May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Barley as soon as possible!

Loves to learn
Diego was rescued from Bosnia and adopted in 2017 but, sadly, his owners have recently arrived at the decision that Diego would be able to thrive in a different home.
Diego has a super personality and is very playful and always up for fun; he enjoys jumping through fields of long grass like a gazelle and is also a keen swimmer, enjoying surfing the waves at the beach! He loves a ball, being chased and also playing hide and seek.
Diego is extremely intelligent and picks up commands and tricks very quickly. He is an absolute dream to walk; he enjoys chasing through the woods after squirrels but also has fantastic recall and is eager to please. Diego would be best suited to a home where the owner could teach him lots of commands, keep him busy and give him ‘jobs’ to do because this is when he feels most comfortable.
Diego unfortunately has a few areas where he struggles. Around strangers, Diego will react if they try to touch him or get too close. He also struggles within enclosed spaces and dislikes sudden movements.
He also shows resource guarding behaviour and will not allow anyone to remove or play with a toy/chew. He can also become possessive of space and is known to react to other dogs that get too close.
Diego adores the company of other dogs and regularly goes on group walks with his dog walker where he never tires of playing chase. He can sometimes be wary of big, fluffy dogs but with some encouragement he soon befriends them. In regard to Diego’s resource guarding, he feels less stressed when around other dogs that are dominant because he does not feel the need to protect/guard. However, once alone again, his resource guarding behaviour becomes apparent.
Diego is very calm and relaxed whilst at home and loves to cuddle up on the sofa with his favourite people.
As Diego doesn’t cope well with busy environments or areas, he would be best suited to a home in a rural environment where his owner could work on these anxieties slowly.
Diego originally came from Bosnia but is now living in the UK – visits can be arranged for serious adopters. Please note, the UK adoption fee will apply.

Happy little bear
Meet the charming Ira! Before she was brought to our partner shelter, it is believed that Ira was an owned dog who was poorly kept by her previous owners. It is suspected that Ira had sadly spent most of her time tied up outside before she escaped and lived as a stray. Thankfully, Ira was brought to safety at the shelter and can now look forward to finding the true meaning of love in her forever home in the UK.
Ira is a delightful little lady who always has a wag in her tail and a happy disposition! This happy girl particularly loves snuggling up with her favourite people and after a long day of being just adorable, she will be quite content to cosy up on a warm lap for her afternoon snooze. As Ira loves to be around people, we would like to find adopters who are mostly orientated at home and who won’t mind an Ira shaped shadow pottering around behind them!
Ira may be small but she is still spritely and always enjoys her walks. She is already quite confident and is used to walking on her lead but it is likely that she will need some time to adjust to her new surroundings before she can go out on longer walks or in busier surroundings. Once she is feeling settled in her new home, we are sure that Ira will make an excellent companion and would love to join her new family on some exciting adventures in the big outdoors.
Ira has no issues with other dogs and likes all those that she has met so far. As such, we can consider homes with a friendly, resident dog but we are sure Ira won’t mind the attention and fuss all to herself either.
Ira hasn’t had socialisation with cats or children but we will be watching how her personality develops and will be considering homes on a case by case basis.
Ira has recently had two small mammary masses removed and is recovering well from the surgery. The masses were removed as a precautionary measure and further x-rays on her organs have shown no lasting impact or affect. Ira will have the last of the lumps removed prior to travel so that she can continue to be the happy and healthy dog that she is!
Please note, Ira won’t be travelling until at least the end of May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Ira as soon as possible!

Bouncy little pup
Zinnia & her siblings were found abandoned with their mum in a nearby field to our partner shelter in Greece. Mum and pups were all rescued safely and are now living at the shelter & ready to find their own homes!
Zinnia is a happy, playful and curious puppy! She has only recently been rescued and is still getting used to some aspects of shelter life so is a little apprehensive about new experiences but she’s already shown huge improvements in confidence and has begun going for short lead walks around the shelter with her siblings!
Zinnia and her siblings were understandably a little nervous of people to begin with but, with the aid of a few puppy treats, they’ve now grown to love the shelter workers and enjoy going for walks with them. Adopters should be mindful that Zinnia may be timid with them to begin with but she shows great promise to become more confident with slow and gradual training.
Zinnia is a playful little girl and loves running around on walks with her siblings! She gets on well with other dogs and could be rehomed with a friendly, playful resident dog.
Zinnia hasn’t had socialisation with cats or children but we will be watching how her personality develops and can consider homes with both on a case by case basis.
Zinnia has just begun having some basic lead training but lots more puppy training will be needed! She is also an energetic pup who would benefit from active adopters who will keep her well stimulated.

Sensitive kind sweetheart
Diego was found sheltering in a disused railway shed, along with his siblings and mum when he was around 5 weeks old. Diego’s mum was very ill and needed urgent help to recover as she was struggling to care for her babies. Thankfully, our partner shelter were able to take the family in and give them all the care they needed to regain their strength, as well as offering them a safe place to await their forever homes.
Diego is a very calm, gentle and at the moment, timid pup. He has a much more independent streak than his siblings and prefers to be quietly in his own space most of the time. However, this is improving day by day and Diego is slowly warming up to some attention and fuss from volunteers, especially if it includes a tummy tickle! Diego will ideally need experienced adopters who can offer him time and patience whilst he learns to trust and build his confidence.
Diego has begun some basic training at the shelter but he is not so fond of partaking in lessons at the moment, he would much rather be lazing about and snoozing in his comfy bed! He is a smart boy but he can be unsure when he is outside of his comfort zone. It will be important that his adopters commit to regular training sessions and set Diego up for success when he is in his new home. Luckily, he really enjoys his food and has especially enjoyed snuffle matts and enrichment puzzles, which are excellent tools to help Diego grow his confidence.
Diego is a mummy’s boy at heart and tends to spend most of his time with her. He also prefers to play with his siblings rather than mixing with the other dogs at the shelter. That being said, his bond with his mum makes us believe that he would be best suited to a home with a resident, older dog for comfort and guidance. He will also definitely need slow and careful introductions when he is socialising with other dogs outside of the home.
Given that Diego is a timid pup, he will not be suited to an urban or city lifestyle. He is ideally looking for a quiet adult only home, in at least a semi-rural area.
Diego has not yet been tested with cats so we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Diego is a wonderful and gentle young boy. With the right amount of patience and dedication from his new family, we have no doubt that he will continue to shine in his own very special way.
Please note, Diego won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Diego as soon as possible!

Very intelligent boy
Attila was found sheltering in a disused railway shed, along with his siblings and mum when he was around 5 weeks old. Attila’s mum was very ill and needed urgent help to recover as she was struggling to care for her babies. Thankfully, our partner shelter were able to take the family in and give them all the care they needed to regain their strength, as well as offering them a safe place to await their forever homes.
Attila is a fun and friendly puppy. Like his mum, he is quite timid in nature but since he has been spending more time independently, his confidence has really started to grow and his personality is beginning to shine! He has been spending some time in the house with other dogs and he is quite happy to explore the new sounds and smells but he will need continued support and training from his new family to help him settle.
Attila is a very intelligent puppy and has already begun his basic training in the shelter. He is very keen to learn, especially when there are a few tasty treats for rewards, so he will need a family who have plenty of time to keep up with this training to keep him mentally engaged.
Attila is a very active pup who loves to play with his mum and siblings as well as his toys. Once he is feeling settled and relaxed in his new environment, we think Attila will make an excellent adventure dog with a family who are up for the challenge of keeping up with him! As such, we would love to find him a home in at least semi rural area where he is nearby to lots of engaging walks that are right on his doorstep. After a long day of exploring, he should be quite content to dream the day away in a cosy spot of his very own.
Attila is quite happy when he is socialising with the other dogs at the shelter and also enjoys going on the pack walks. He may need a few gentle introductions at first, but we are sure that once he feels comfortable Attila will be keen to make friends when he is out and about. As such, we can definitely consider homes with a resident friendly dog, but do bear in mind that Attila is likely to be a larger dog when fully grown so extra space in the home will need to be considered.
Attila has not yet been tested with cats or children so we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Attila won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Attila as soon as possible!

Calm and sensitive
Manny was found sheltering in a disused railway shed, along with his siblings and mum when he was around 5 weeks old. Manny’s mum was very ill and needed urgent help to recover as she was struggling to care for her babies. Thankfully, our partner shelter were able to take the family in and give them all the care they needed to regain their strength, as well as offering them a safe place to await their forever homes.
Manny is a sweet and sensitive puppy. Like his mum, he is quite timid in nature but since the puppies have been spending more time independently, his confidence has started to grow. Manny’s personality is still developing every day and although he’s not so keen on being picked up just yet, he certainly doesn’t turn down a cuddle from those he’s familiar with. He has already spent some time in the house and seemed to take it in his stride, so with lots of patience and time we are sure that he will be relishing his new home comforts in no time!
Despite being a more nervous dog, Manny is still a playful pup who loves his toys and zooming around with his siblings, he has also recently gained enough confidence to enjoy his first pack walk with the other dogs at the shelter. We are sure Manny will need lots of opportunities to burn off his puppy energy, but he is also just as likely to snooze it all off in a cosy corner of his new home. We will consider homes with a resident friendly dog that will help him build his confidence.
Manny will definitely need patient and experienced adopters who are ideally familiar with timid dogs, as it is likely his progress may regress a little after his long journey to the UK. He has already started some basic training at the shelter but he will still need lots of puppy training and positive guidance from his adopters when he is learning about his new home and exploring his surroundings. Thankfully, Manny’s love (and sometimes over eagerness!) for treats should have him raring to go and ready to learn!
To give Manny the best chance at settling into his new environment and because of his timid nature, we can only consider calm homes in at least semi rural areas. He has not been tested with children so we will be watching how his personality develops but we can only consider families with older, calm and dog savvy children.
Manny has not yet been tested with cats so we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Manny won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Manny as soon as possible!

Growing in confidence
Odin and his brothers were born at the back of an apartment block to their mum who is a street dog. Our partner shelter plan to safely neuter her soon but in the meantime her pups were taken to the shelter, where they could grown, learn and play in a safe environment.
Odin is a sensitive soul who has needed more time to adjust to the shelter than his siblings. To help him build his confidence he has been spending time in the main house with the volunteers. This has helped him to relax, as sometimes shelter life can be over whelming for just a young pup like Odin. He especially enjoys his home comforts and once he has settled, we think he will relish discovering all of the cosiest spots in his new home.
Much like his siblings, another of Odin’s favourite things is his food! This has been especially helpful during training, as initially Odin was quite nervous during his one to one lessons. This is improving over time but commitment and dedication to more lessons when he is in his new home will be really important to keep Odin’s confidence growing. It is also likely that the long journey to the UK could make Odin’s progress regress a little so we are looking for adopters who have some experience working with nervous dogs.
Odin is quite content when he is playing with his siblings and has made friends with a couple of other dogs at the shelter. We will definitely consider homes with a resident friendly dog who can help teach Odin that he does not need to worry.
As Odin is more nervous, we will not be considering busier environments or city lifestyles. He is ideally looking for a quiet home, which is at least a semi-rural home. Despite Odin’s anxieties, he is still a fun loving, playful pup and we are sure that with time and patient adopters he’ll come on leaps and bounds!
Odin hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children but given his timid nature, we will not be considering homes with young children.
Please note, Odin won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Odin as soon as possible!

Sweet as pie
Onyx and his brothers were born at the back of an apartment block to their mum who is a street dog. Our partner shelter plan to safely neuter her soon but in the meantime her pups were taken to the shelter, where they could grown, learn and play in a safe environment.
Onyx is a real sweetheart and although he has been handled from a young age, he is still sometimes nervous in new situations. He takes his time to warm up to new people but once he is sure that he trusts you he does snuggle up for a cuddle. If there is one thing to get him on your side it is definitely treats, treats and more treats! These will be especially handy when building a bond with Onyx and positively encouraging him to embrace all the new experiences he has to come.
Onyx is great with other dogs, he happily plays with his puppy pals and the older dogs at the shelter. He can become a little overwhelmed if there is lots going on at once but despite this, he does enjoy going on the pack walks and shows no issues when sharing his beloved food and toys. We will be looking to find Onyx a home with a resident friendly dog, as he will definitely benefit from having a doggy sibling to give him the confidence he needs to settle in his new environment.
Onyx’s confidence is growing more each day at the shelter but he will need lots of slow introductions to people and his new surroundings, so we will be looking for patient and preferably experienced adopters who are willing to help him work through this. We will also only be considering homes in rural areas, so that Onyx has the chance to settle in as much peace and quiet as possible.
Due to his more nervous nature and expected size, we will only be considering homes with older dog savvy children. Onyx hasn’t had any socialisation with cats so we will be watching how his puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Onyx won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Onyx as soon as possible!

Friendly and furry!
Otus and his brothers were born at the back of an apartment block to their mum who is a street dog. Our partner shelter plan to safely neuter her soon but in the meantime her pups were taken to the shelter, where they could grown, learn and play in a safe environment.
Otus has been at our partner shelter since he was 6 weeks old. Having been handled from a young age, Otus loves people and he will happily snuggle in for a cuddle with the volunteers. His personality is still developing each day but he is already quite confident when he is exploring his surroundings.
Otus is a very clever young lad and enjoys his one to one training, which he has already begun at the shelter. He has picked up walking on the lead very quickly but he will need to keep up the good work with regular training sessions once he is in his new home. Luckily, Otus is very keen to please especially when there are a few tasty treats on offer!
Like most young dogs Otus has plenty of energy to burn and he enjoys zooming around the shelter with his friends as well as going on pack walks with the other dogs. We would love to find Otus an active home in at least a semi rural area where he has the opportunity to let off his steam! He is also happy to share his food and toys so he could suit a home with a doggy sibling but please bear in mind that Otus is due to grow into a large dog, so some extra room in the home would be appreciated!
Otus hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children so we will be watching how his puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
On arrival at the shelter, Otus tested positive for Giardia (a common bacterial gut infection) which is currently being treated, and is no cause for concern.
Please note, Otus won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Otus as soon as possible!

Raring to go!
Charlie was found abandoned in a local village nearby to our partner shelter. He was alone and although he was in good health, he was in need of some food and a warm place to stay safe. Thankfully our partner shelter took Charlie in and he is now ready to embark on his journey to a forever home in the UK.
Charlie is an extremely cheeky chap with a big heart of gold! He absolutely adores being around people and loves all of the fuss and cuddles that he can get. He always has a happy wagging tail and we have no doubt that he will make his adopters laugh with his mischievous ways!
Charlie is full of life and energy, so he will definitely need a family that are ready to keep up with his adventurous ways. He can become a little vocal if there is lots of excitement going on at once but with a few training sessions, he should be quick to learn in his new home. As he is such a smart boy, Charlie could even enjoy some agility training, which would be an excellent way to bond as well as keeping his busy brain occupied.
Considering Charlie’s eagerness for adventure, he has been known to wander through a few open gates to somewhere he shouldn’t be! It will be important that his new home has a very secure boundary, with high fences all the way around his new garden and we will also only be considering homes in rural areas.
Charlie has a strong prey drive for birds which could also include squirrels or other small furries. Adopters will need to be prepared to work extensively on Charlie’s recall and particular care will need to be taken if he is ever off lead in the future. With this in mind, we will not be considering homes with cats or any other small animals.
Charlie has not been tested with children, so we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Charlie won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Charlie as soon as possible!

Fun loving girl!
Cindy was found abandoned at a train station and was wondering around with another pup called Blue, who is believed to be her sister. Cindy is now safely in the loving care of our partner shelter, where she is patiently awaiting her turn to fly the nest and begin her journey to a forever home in the UK.
Cindy is a confident and affectionate girl who loves being the centre of attention, especially when there are plenty of cuddles on offer! She is quite happy to let the other puppies at the shelter know that she is boss and can be a little feisty at times. However, this is settling down with regular training which adopters will need to keep up once she is in her new home so that she continues to learn some healthy boundaries. Luckily, Cindy is a very smart girl who is always raring to go, especially when there are a few treats in hand!
Cindy has lots of beans and is definitely looking for a family who can keep up with her energetic ways! She will make an excellent companion during lots of adventures and as such, we will be looking to find her a home in a semi rural area, where she has plenty of choice for lots of exciting walks that are right on her door step. It will be important that Cindy has a good routine where she has the opportunity to let off plenty of steam each day. She could even take to some agility sessions, which would be a brilliant way to put her intelligent mind to work!
Cindy happily plays along with the other dogs at the shelter and doesn’t even mind sharing her toys! She did initially show some signs of resource guarding around food, so this will need to be monitored and worked on during training sessions if she is sharing a home with a resident dog. With this in mind, we will not be considering homes with young children as Cindy needs to learn these manners in a calm environment.
Cindy has not been tested with cats so we will be watching how her personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Cindy is a very fun loving girl and we are sure she is going to bring plenty of fun into her new home!
Please note, Cindy won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Cindy as soon as possible!

Special little lady
Winter was discovered when she was just 6 weeks old and was living on a wood yard nearby to our partner shelter. The team at the shelter quickly swooped in to rescue Winter and she is now ready to find her loving home in the UK.
Understandably, Winter was nervous when she first arrived at the shelter and she needed some time to get used to her new surroundings. She has recently turned herself around and although she is still timid, she bravely seeks out the volunteers for a tasty treat or hug, however she is still not sure on being picked up just yet. Winter will definitely need a calm and quiet home, where she has the chance to adapt and slowly get used to all her new life has to offer.
It is likely that Winter’s recently gained confidence could regress once she has arrived in her new home and as such, we would preferably like her to go to adopters who have some experience working with nervous dogs. Luckily, Winter loves her food and is very keen to please for a few tasty treats. This should make training fun and will also be an excellent way to gain trust and bond with Winter.
Winter enjoys playing with the other dogs at the shelter and keenly joins in on the pack walks. We think she would love to go to a home with a resident friendly dog, as this will really help her come out of her shell. We will also only be considering adult only homes that are in rural areas so that Winter has the opportunity to gain her confidence in a quiet and peaceful setting.
Winter has not been tested with cats so we will be watching how her puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Winter is a sweet girl with so much to offer and with the right amount of patience and love from committed adopters, we are sure that she will bloom in her own very special way.
Please note, Winter won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Winter as soon as possible!

Raring to go!
Introducing the lovely Aria, who was found abandoned in a forest when she was only 5 weeks old. Thankfully, she was found by some kind people who rescued her from harm and brought her to the safety of our partner shelter. Aria is now ready to fly the nest of the shelter and settle in her forever home in the UK.
Aria is a very sweet and happy girl. Having been at the shelter from a young age, Aria is used to being handled and enjoys meeting new people, as long as they have plenty of cuddles for her! Aria is quite the fearless pup and joined in on the shelter’s pack walks as soon as she was old enough. To keep this adventurous girl happy, we would love to find her a home in at least a semi rural area with an active family who can commit to regular exciting walks.
Aria is also a bold and confident girl who has known what she wants from day one! She will really enjoy putting her intelligence to good work with adopters who will commit to regular and fun training sessions each day. With a treat and cuddle for reward, we are sure she will be brilliant at picking up a few extra tricks.
Aria enjoys playing with the other puppies and dogs at the shelter, she is even happy to share her toys – what a polite pup! Sometimes she can be wary of new dogs that are much larger than her, but she soon settles with plenty of positive reassurance. She could suit a home with a doggy sibling for a play mate, but we are sure she won’t mind the extra attention and fuss all to herself either.
Aria has had some interaction with children, so we could consider homes with children that are dog savvy and sensible around dogs.
Aria has not been tested with cats so we will be watching how her puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Aria won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Aria as soon as possible!

Sweet and gentle
Louie along with his siblings and their mum, Rose were all owned dogs before they unfortunately had to be surrendered to the streets, due to circumstances out of their owners control. Thankfully, our partner shelter were called to the rescue and as soon as Louie’s mum saw the volunteers, she ran over – almost as if she was asking for her pups to be brought to safety. Now the family are each one step closer to finding a loving forever home and we can’t wait to find them just that!
Louie is a sweet and sensitive soul, who is still learning about the world around him. He is quite nervous of shelter life, as it can sometimes be a little overwhelming for just a small pup! As such, he will need experienced and confident adopters who can help him come out of his shell. Louie is starting to enjoy a cuddle or two but he is not so keen on being picked up, this is being worked on and is gradually improving.
One way to Louie’s heart is with lots of tasty snacks! Luckily, his food motivation will be an excellent tool when helping him settle into his new surroundings. We are sure that once he is given plenty of time and space to bloom, his gentle character will emerge and he will enjoy building a loving bond with his lucky adopters.
Louie is a mummy’s boy at heart and loves cuddling up with her at any chance he gets but he does also enjoys playing with the other dogs, although he will be unsure if there is lots going on or if they are a lot larger than him. He could suit a home with a resident friendly dog who will help fill Louie with confidence or guide the way if ever he needs a helping paw.
We will be looking for an adult only rural home for Louie, where he can enjoy the peace and quiet with plenty of choice for exciting walks nearby.
Louis has not been tested with cats so we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Louie won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Louie as soon as possible!

Needs some nurturing
Yogi along with his siblings and their mum, Rose were all owned dogs before they unfortunately had to be surrendered to the streets, due to circumstances out of their owners control. Thankfully, our partner shelter were called to the rescue and as soon as Yogi’s mum saw the volunteers, she ran over – almost as if she was asking for her pups to be brought to safety. Now the family are each one step closer to finding a loving forever home and we can’t wait to find them just that!
Yogi is a very kind little soul who is still adapting to life in the shelter having initially found it very overwhelming. Over time, he has become a lot more interested in human interaction and his friendly personality has slowly emerged. He now enjoys a stroke from volunteers but is not so fond of being picked up, however this is being worked on and he is responding well to plenty of tasty treats and lots of positive encouragement.
Despite his insecurities Yogi is also a playful pup who adores his toys and tumbling around with his siblings and the other pups at the shelter, although he can be nervous around dogs that are much larger than him. Yogi will need very slow and calm introductions to new dogs when he is out socialising and we will also be looking for homes with a resident friendly dog, who can help guide him in times of need and show him that he does not need to worry.
Yogi will need an adult only quiet home in a rural area with adopters who have some experience with timid dogs. He will need plenty of gentle reassurance to help him build his confidence and generous patience from his adopters whilst he adapts to his new surroundings. In time, we are sure that he will settle into his new life and relish being spoiled rotten by his lucky family.
Yogi has not been tested with cats so we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Yogi won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Yogi as soon as possible!

Sensitive little soul
Birdy along with her siblings and their mum Rose, were all owned dogs before they unfortunately had to be surrendered to the streets, due to circumstances out of their owners control. Thankfully, our partner shelter were called to the rescue and as soon as Rose saw the volunteers, she ran over – almost as if she was asking for her pups to be brought to safety. Now the family are each one step closer to finding a loving forever home and we can’t wait to find them just that!
Birdy is a very sweet girl, who has taken a little time to warm up to shelter life. She is currently staying in the shelter owners house with her mum, so that she can build her confidence slowly and she is gradually becoming braver by the day! Birdy will be timid when meeting new people and also when she is getting used to her new home so adopters will need to be sensitive to her needs and slowly take things at her pace. Adopters who have had experience with shy dogs would also be beneficial.
Once Birdy is given lots of time to learn about trust and with regular positive reassurance, she will cuddle up to people that she knows and her very loving and playful side emerges form her delicate shell. Birdy will definitely need a quiet and peaceful home and as such, we will only be considering adult only homes in rural environments.
Birdy is mostly found by herself as she has found it hard to bond with the other dogs at the shelter, she can be quite timid around them and tends to become a little overwhelmed if there is too much going on at once. She is getting better as her confidence grows but she will need slow and gentle introductions when socialising with other dogs that she does not know.
Just like her mum, Birdy is a very intelligent girl and we are sure that with dedicated adopters, she will keep up the brave work and continue to bloom once she is in her new home.
Birdy was born with a shorter tail but this does not cause her any problems and only makes her all the more unique!
Please note, Birdy won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Birdy as soon as possible!

Loyal and loving
Rose and her four puppies were owned dogs before they unfortunately had to be surrendered to the streets, due to circumstances out of their owners control. Thankfully, our partner shelter were called to the rescue and as soon as Rose saw the volunteers, she ran over almost as if she was asking to be saved. Now the family are each one step closer to finding a loving forever home and we can’t wait to find them just that!
Rose was initially very unsure of shelter life and found the first few days unsettling. She was always finding ways to escape from her pen and so to help her feel at ease, she was brought into the shelter owners house. Since then, Rose hasn’t tried any more escape acts and the home comforts (she is a natural couch potato!) have helped her relax and brought out her very loyal and loving nature.
Once she arrives in the UK, Rose may take some time to adapt to a new environment and her adopters will need to be patient whilst she adjusts after her long journey. But once she knows she is safe, we are sure it won’t be long until she will be scoping out the comfiest spots for an afternoon nap – especially if there is a cosy fire to snooze in front of!
Rose is currently living with a few other dogs who she happily plays and shares her bed with. She could be suited to a home with a resident dog but we also think she’d be happy on her own – as long as there were plenty of cuddles on tap! Unfortunately, Rose does not feel the same towards way cats so we will not be considering homes with any resident cats.
Although she is a lazy bones in the house, Rose still loves getting out and about on her walks and we would love to find her a home in a rural area where she can enjoy plenty of walks that are right on her doorstep. To be sure that Rose does not return to her escapee ways, adopters will need a secure home with tall secure fencing around the garden. They will also need to be prepared to keep her on the lead for the foreseeable and extensive work on Rose’s recall will be a must.
Considering Rose’s gentle nature we could potentially consider homes with children who are sensible and dog savvy.
Rose was born with a shorter tail than other dogs but this does not cause her any issues and only adds to her charm as it waggles around when she is happy!
Rose is a delightful girl who is very deserving of a special home, where she can put her paws up and soak up plenty of love from a very lucky family.
Please note, Rose won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Rose as soon as possible!

Everyone's best friend!
Meet the lovely Mouse, who was living on the streets and being fed by locals before she was brought to the safety of our partner shelter in Greece. It is now her time to find a loving forever home here in the UK.
Mouse is a beautiful girl who has a wonderful way with humans. She simply loves all the affection she can get and as soon as the volunteers come to visit her, she welcomes them with a big wagging tail. Mouse can be a little unsure with new people at first, so she will likely need time to build a bond with her adopters but with positive reassurance she soon warms up and rolls over for a big tummy rub. Mouse would love a home where her adopters are around most of the time as she absolutely loves being around people (once she knows them).
Mouse is looking for a home in at least a semi-rural area, where she won’t have to meet too many strangers when out for walkies.
As well as making friends with humans, Mouse also happily interacts with other dogs. She could live with a resident friendly dog, but would also be happy to have all the fuss to herself! Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for her friendship with cats and, as such, we will not be considering homes with any small animals.
Mouse walks well on her lead at the shelter but will likely need some extra training when she comes home. She responds well to positive encouragement and also goes crazy for treats, which will be an excellent tool when keeping up the good work at home and when introducing her to new surroundings.
To our knowledge, Mouse has not had any socialisation with children but can consider homes with older children that are sensible around dogs on a case by case basis.
Mouse will make a wonderful loyal companion to a very lucky family who are just as full of love as she is.
Please note, Mouse won’t be ready to travel to the UK until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Mouse as soon as possible!

Ready to blossom
Alisha is one of five dogs we’ve rescued from South Korea, who were saved from meat farms earlier this year. Alisha is now with a wonderful foster family in the South-west UK but please note that the South Korean adoption fee of £950 will apply. You can learn more about this project through our South Korea project page and via socials.
Alisha is a beautiful girl inside and out, who has been through so much already. She had only ever lived on the meat farm prior to being rescued, and whilst she was in a foster home in South Korea, she had next to no exposure to the outside world.
Moving to her foster home in the UK and living with both humans and other dogs has been quite an adjustment for her and at first she was very shut down. She’s still unsure of people and does not actively seek out affection, so will need prolonged, positive-reinforcement based training, with plenty of time to allow her to settle in and begin to trust her surroundings. Alisha loves food, particularly ham and this had been a really useful training tool whilst in her foster home. Alisha is looking for an adopter who is calm, patient and has faith that she can become the carefree, happy dog she deserves to be.
Whilst Alisha is still getting used to home comforts, one thing she has really taken to is the TV! Alisha is a big sports fan and enjoys watching all sports, with this seemingly boosting her mood. So if you’re into your sports, Alisha will be definitely be your a partner in crime!
Alisha is currently living with other dogs and a cat, and is wonderful with them! She is generally submissive, allowing them to share her toys and food. It’s taken her some time, but she is now not shy to initiate play, and really takes comfort in her furry companions. We will only be considering applications with another dog who can provide Alisha with some much needed support, as well as lots of fun and play.
Alisha really struggles with anything around her neck, likely related to significant traumas she experienced before being rescued, but this is something he foster carers are working on. A harness would be recommended until Alisha is more confident and comfortable with a collar.
Being a sensitive soul, Alisha really likes having a safe space that is all her own, where she can retreat for some quiet time and feel secure. She is still very unsure of the outside world, but with time we believe this will change, once her confidence begins to grow. We are therefore looking for a quiet, rural home with few comings and goings, so that she can really get to know her new surroundings and feel secure enough to explore. Alisha has not been tested around children, and due to her nervous disposition, we will only be considering homes with older dog savvy children.

Amber eyed goddess
Meet the beautiful Ruby, who was found wondering alone in the local town centre. She had no problems being rescued by the volunteers and was even keen to make friends! Now Ruby is safely at the shelter and we can’t wait to find this beautiful girl her very own forever home.
It is believed that Ruby was an owned dog before she ended up on the streets, as she was quick to make friends with the shelter volunteers and she also has a very loyal side. Ruby is naturally a very calm dog and although she was initially scared when settling in at the shelter, she has blossomed more each day. It will be likely that after her long journey to the UK, Ruby’s progress may regress so adopters will need to be patient and allow her to take her time once in her new home. We will only be considering at least semi-rural homes due to the rural nature of the shelter Ruby is currently in and her slight nervous behaviour when she first arrived.
We are sure once Ruby is settled, she will love getting out and exploring her new surroundings. She is already learning how to walk on a lead at the shelter, but can sometimes pull in her eagerness to get to the next exciting smell so adopters will need to keep up the lessons once she is in her new home. We are confident that Ruby’s intelligence will make training a fun task and her love of tasty snacks will be an excellent tools to keep her motivated.
Ruby loves playing with the other dogs at the shelter and looks forward to going on the pack walks. We will definitely consider homes with friendly resident male dogs, as Ruby seems to have a soft spot for them in particular!
Not only is Ruby an incredibly beautiful girl on the outside, (just look at those ears and striking amber eyes!) but she also has a heart full of gold on the inside. We know that she will thrive with a family who will spoil her rotten with plenty of fuss, attention and a big cuddle at the end of the day. We will only be considering families with older children that are dog savvy and we unfortunately cannot consider homes with cats or other small furries.
Ruby recently tested positive for Anaplasmosis, (a disease transmitted through a tick bite) but she has since been treated and cleared of the disease, with no complications.
Please note, Ruby won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Ruby as soon as possible!

Great big softy
Meet handsome Bear, who was rehomed to a local English lady by our partner shelter 2 years ago after he had been found as a stray puppy. Unfortunately due to a recent tragic event, Bear has found himself back in the hands of our partner shelter, and we are now looking to find him a very special forever home, where he is safe and loved.
Bear is a very loving, loyal boy who enjoys nothing more than to lie at your feet all day. He is a big softy and adores cuddles with those he knows well. As Bear has already lived in a home he has had all his basic training, including house training, crate training, lead walking and recall. He’s a clever boy and delight to have in the house. It is important for adopters to note that whilst Bear is clearly a clever chap & has learnt a lot already, the journey over and complete change in environment can set dogs back, so expect to start from scratch with some things.
Whilst Bear has great recall when out on walks, he is known to be a real escape artist, and if left unsupervised can scale 2 metre fences, which he used to do in his previous home, and has done the same in the shelter. Adopters are going to need a very secure garden with a tall, solid fence, & where eyes can always be kept on him to make sure he doesn’t do a Houdini!
Bear loves other dogs and very much enjoys some boisterous rough and tumble play. He has lived with 4 dogs in the past and is currently living in the house at the shelter with 12 other dogs & has shown no issues at all. Ideally we would love to place Bear with another confident, playful dog, that can help him settle & provide him with some reassurance, as well as lots of fun & play!
Bear has been very loving with the owners of the shelter and became quite needy when he first arrived, however he has shown some reactivity towards people wearing hoods (male or female), likely caused by the recent and significant trauma he experienced in his previous home. He reacts by barking frantically at such people, however he will settle if the person ignores him, along with receiving reassurance from people he trusts. The shelter are currently working on desensitising him to people wearing hoodies, but it is likely this behaviour will still persist once Bear is in his new home. We are therefore only considering experienced, understanding adopters living in a rural, quiet area, who can approach similar situations calmly and patiently, providing Bear with plenty of much needed support.
Bear has met children and has been great with kids of all ages, however due to the recent experience he has been through we think it would be best for Bear to be in a calm adults only home, with adopters who have plenty of time to dedicate to him.
Whilst Bear is great with other dogs, unfortunately the same cannot be said for cats, so cat free homes only please! Considering his reaction around cats, it is likely Bear with find chasing squirrels quite the entertainment, so caution will need to be taken whilst out walking, particularly in wooded areas.
Bear has been through so much already and he truly deserves to find a home that is willing to give him all the love and patience in the world, and we can’t wait to find him just that!
Please note, Bear won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Bear as soon as possible!

The little princess
Fifi was found wondering around the local town near to our partner shelter. At the time, she was in season, so she was being hounded by other stray male dogs. Sadly, this sight is seen far too often in our partner countries and can lead to more unwanted dogs being born to the streets. Thankfully, the wonderful work that our partner shelter does helps eliminate this, by not only taking in vulnerable dogs but also by running safe neuter and release programmes for dogs in need. Fifi was rescued and taken into the safety of the shelter, and has since been spayed and and now we can’t wait to find her a very special forever home!
Fifi is a cheeky girl who is absolutely full of character and easily makes the shelter volunteers laugh with her funny ways! Fifi is looking for a home that will spoil her rotten, as she can find shelter life a little overwhelming at times – after all she is only a little dog in a big world! She may take some time to feel trusting of her adopters, as she is nervous in some situations, particularly around men, although this is improving. Despite this, we think she will thrive once she has the time to bond with a family one to one. We would love to find Fifi a special, kind family who will give her plenty of time and positive encouragement to help her come out of her shell!
Whilst Fifi gets along fine with other dogs, she is mostly an independent soul who doesn’t always partake in playtime, and much prefers taking herself off on her own adventures. Adopters will need to be mindful of this, as with such a hunger for exploration, Fifi can often have the tendency to take herself off on her own walk! As Fifi could be a potential flight risk (and is very fast on her feet!), we recommend that adopters consider purchasing a tracker for Fifi as well as a secure harness and commit to keeping her on the lead for the foreseeable. Plenty of treats are the way to her heart, so keeping Fifi up to speed with recall training will be an absolute must once she is in her new home.
There is nothing Fifi enjoys more than a quiet life, full of comfy and cosy pleasures! As such, we would love to find Fifi a home in a rural area, where she can seek out a sunny spot for her peaceful afternoon naps. We also think she will be best suited as the only dog in her new home, so that she doesn’t have to worry about sharing any of the attention! It is likely that Fifi has lived in a house previously, as she already knows how to “high five!”, whilst also being house trained. Adopters will need to help Fifi keep up the good work once she is home, as it is likely that she could regress a little due to the change of environment.
Fifi has not been tested with cats or children. Given that she can be frightened of loud noises, we will not be considering homes with young children.
Fifi is a lovely girl who is unique in so many wonderful ways (just look at those adorable ears!) and we know she will brighten up her new home in no time at all!
Please note, Fifi won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Fifi as soon as possible!

Adorable mischief maker!
Blanka and her sister, Alba were found in an olive grove next door to our partner shelter with their mum Clara who was fiercely protecting her babies. Thankfully, the family of three were taken in to the care of our amazing partner, who helped nurture the young pups and gave them a safe place to await their forever homes.
Blanka is a small pup with a huge personality! There are plenty of things that Blanka is still learning, but she enthusiastically takes to every new venture with energy and excitement. She is an incredibly lively girl, who loves to be busy almost every minute of the day and although she enjoys a cuddle every now and then, she can’t stop for long as she must get back to zooming off on her next adventure!
Blanka is yet to learn that good things come to those who wait, she can be impatient and is not afraid to use her bark if she thinks she is missing out on the fun! We will be looking for adopters who have experience with boisterous dogs and who feel confident putting in some boundaries so that Blanka does not become destructive. Commitment to regular training sessions will be important to help get Blanka’s puppy manners up to scratch, as well as this being an excellent way to keep her busy.
Blanka would happily play all day if she could, she loves to run around and is very agile when it comes to climbing. She can sometimes be a little mouthy in her eagerness to get someone to play with her, so she will need some direction to a chew or a sturdy toy. Blanka is a smart girl and has often been known to outwit her sister Alba, by stealing her toys when she isn’t looking! Adopters will need to be confident refocussing Blanka in low distraction areas so that she can make the most out of her training, but with plenty of her favourite snack (yoghurt!) on offer, we are sure she will be raring to go!
Blanka will be an excellent companion to adopters who have as much energy as she does and we would love to find her a home nearby to lots of exciting walks. She will be best suited to a home as the only dog or somewhere with a resident dog who is calm and tolerant of young puppies, as she can often be too energetic for older, less playful dogs. This will also need to be monitored when she is out socialising with other four legged friends.
Due to Blanka’s more boisterous personality we will only be considering homes with older, dog savvy children. She has not been tested with cats, so we will be watching how her personality develops and considering applications on a case by case basis.
There is never going to be a dull moment with Blanka around and we can’t wait to see how she lights up her new home with her wonderful charisma, charm and cheekiness!
Please note, that due to on-going travel restrictions and transport logistics, we currently do not have a transport date in place for dogs travelling from Lesvos. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Blanka as soon as possible!

Beautiful big bear!
Meet the very gorgeous Bobbie! We do not know much about Bobbie’s life before she was left outside our partner shelter but luckily she found herself in safe hands and now she is ready to fly the nest in search of her very own forever home.
Bobbie has a very happy nature and absolutely adores soaking up plenty of fuss from the shelter volunteers, who are always welcomed with a big bounce and smile whenever they visit her! She thrives when she is around people that she loves and she confidently makes friends when meeting someone new. We think that once she is comfortable in her new home, she will relish building a bond with adopters who will spoil her rotten with all of the attention that she so craves!
Bobbie loves going out on her walks but at the moment she doesn’t have regular opportunities for walks.. Once she is comfortable in her new environment, Bobbie would love regular walks where she can explore to her hearts content! Bobbie is a strong girl but walks well on her lead around the shelter, however please be mindful that it’s very warm and this may tire her. Adopters will need to continue some one to one training sessions to keep her good work up to scratch and adopters with some experience of large breed dogs will be preferred.
Although Bobbie is very friendly with new people she does not get on with every dog that she meets and she does not like cats. We will be looking to place Bobbie in an adult only, rural home, where she won’t have to worry about meeting lots of new dogs on her walks. We would prefer adopters who are experienced with dogs who can be dog reactive and those who feel confident working with Bobbie to refocus her attention when she feels anxious in these situations. Bobbie is very treat orientated and she is also keen to please, two things that will come in handy during those all important training lessons.
Bobbie has been waiting long enough for a home where she can relax and cuddle up to her favourite humans. We can’t wait to find her dedicated and loving adopters who can finally show her what it means to be part of a family.
Please note, Bobbie won’t be ready to travel to the UK until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Bobbie as soon as possible!

Loves to Run
Fletcher flew from Bahrain to the UK in June 2020, and is currently living in Foster in the South East. Visits can be arranged for serious adopters. Please note, the UK adoption fee will apply.
Fletcher and his siblings were found with their mother in a very dangerous, industrial area of Bahrain. His luck changed when he found a home here in the UK, but he’s still waiting to find a forever home.
The last few months in the UK have allowed Fletcher the chance to get used to family life – and he’s loved every minute of it! He’s a sweet and affectionate boy who loves playing and cuddling with his human family. He gets on well with people and, although he can be shy of strangers, with time and lots of treats he’s ready to be friends with anyone. Whether you’re cleaning, gardening, or just chilling out on the sofa, Fletcher will happily tag along to keep you company, especially if the day ends with a snuggle.
He’s a smart chap who’s very quick to learn. Being food motivated, he thoroughly enjoys training and will work hard for cheese, chicken and liver paste! He has a playful personality and whilst he’s still learning how games like fetch and tug work, he’s loves a good chew on his kong or antler.
Fletcher loves being out and about, and has learned to be brave around traffic and loud noises. However, Fletcher can become fear reactive on lead towards unknown dogs which means he can find walks in places with lots of other dogs stressful and his threshold reaches its peak very fast. As such Fletcher is in need of a rural home where he does not have to encounter lots of dogs whilst walking on lead, with adopters who have experience with lead reactivity. He is having ongoing training for this which will need to be continued once adopted.
Fletcher currently lives with a number of other dogs and loves their company. When off-lead he is desperate to play and bound around and is quick to make friends. As with many “lockdown puppies”, Fletcher can also can struggle being left alone during the day. He has had lots of training for this and can be left for some time now, but would be better with a family who do not work all day as due to his reactivity he cannot go to a doggy daycare/dog walker currently. For this reason, we will also only be considering homes with resident dogs, who can provide Fletcher with some much needed support.
Fletcher is a real sweet-heart who is ready to melt your heart with his gorgeous green eyes. With persistent reward based training and a family who can be at home more often to provide the consistency in the home he craves, we know he’ll make someone very happy indeed.

A real sweetheart
Poppy and her brother, Michael, were brought to our partner shelter by a previous owner who no longer wanted them. It is difficult to know why she was ever given up, but now that she is at our partner shelter Poppy is finally one step closer to finding her forever home in the UK.
Poppy is a sweet natured girl who adores the company of others. She is fairly confident when meeting someone new at her shelter and enjoys soaking up lots of cuddles from the shelter volunteers. Poppy has been at the shelter for some time, and would love nothing more than to find a quiet home where she can relax and bond with adopters who will shower her with all the attention and love she deserves.
Poppy loves her walks and would definitely enjoy going out more regularly than she currently is able to at the shelter. She can be a little nervous when exploring new places at first, but once she starts to feel comfortable she walks happily on her lead and begins to feel relaxed. She may take a little time to adapt to her new home so prospective adopters will need to take it at her pace, and help positively remind Poppy how well she is doing.
Poppy will suit a home in a quiet, non-busy area where she can peacefully get used to her new life at her own pace. She gets along fine with other dogs and is OK with cats she’s met at her shelter, so we could consider homes with both. Poppy is bound to make a wonderful companion to a very lucky family. She has waited long enough for her time and we can’t wait to see how she shines!
Poppy has not been tested with children, but homes with older children who are calm around dogs could be considered.
Please note, Poppy won’t be travelling until at least April. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Poppy as soon as possible!

Everyone's best friend!
Michael and his sister, Poppy, were brought to our partner shelter by a previous owner who no longer wanted them. Since being at the shelter Michael has blossomed and he is finally ready to travel to the UK to settle down in his forever home!
Michael is naturally a friendly & social chap, he loves being around people and is sure to adore having a family of his own that he can cuddle up to. He is also proving to be quite confident when meeting strangers, he will quite happily befriend anyone who will offer him plenty of fuss! We’d expect he’ll regress a little when he first arrives but could come around to your love & offer of tasty treats.
Michael is already walking brilliantly on lead and loves his short walks away from the shelter. We hope to find him a home nearby to plenty of exciting areas for exploring and sniffing! Michael also loves to please his humans and is already very obedient, we think he will enjoy bonding with his adopters during some one to one training. Given Michael’s social nature, he also gets along well with other dogs so we can consider homes with resident dogs. Michael has not been tested with cats so we cannot consider homes with cats.
Michael has not been tested with children but could suit a family with older children who are calm and sensible around dogs.
Michael has so much to offer a family who are as loving as he is and we are sure that once he is settled, he will relish his new home and all the comforts that come with it!
Please note, Michael will not be able to travel until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Michael as soon as possible!

Take me home!
Meet the wonderful Friday! Sadly, Friday was an unwanted dog who was dropped off at our partner shelter some years ago. Since then, she has been patiently awaiting her chance to find a special forever home and now her time has finally come.
Friday is a big girl with an even bigger heart! She has a fantastic way with humans and absolutely adores being around her favourite people. We are sure she would relish some new home comforts and snuggle in close for her favourite thing: a big tummy rub! Friday thrives when she is around the people that she loves – she is very human orientated and for this reason she would prefer adopters who are mostly at home. After all, she’s spent many years alone already and finally deserves to be doted upon. With this in mind, it is possible that she could suffer some separation anxiety and therefore, prospective adopters will need to feel committed to helping her overcome this.
Friday is a relaxed dog but also enjoys getting out and exploring too. She doesn’t have extensive walks, nor regular ones but when she does get to go out she walks well on her lead and we’re sure, once settled, she’d love a few more quiet walks in her new home.
Friday gets along well with dogs and ignores cats but she doesn’t have regular socialisation with them. We can consider homes with both, but she certainly won’t complain if she has all the love to herself either.
Friday has not been tested with children but we could consider homes with older children who are calm and sensible around dogs.
Now that her time has finally come, there is no doubt that Friday will be a very special member of her new family and we can’t wait to find her the loving home that she so deserves.
Please note, Friday will not be able to travel until at least April. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Friday as soon as possible!

Loves to snuggle
Georgia was found wandering the streets of a local town and had made her home in the local bus stop for shelter. She had also befriended a local man who was feeding her regularly before he brought her to our partner shelter for help. Georgia has since been in safe hands and is now ready to find a forever home where she can soak up all of the love that she so craves.
Georgia is an incredibly affectionate girl who bonds well with people. She absolutely loves being talked to during her cuddles and very quickly rolls over for a belly rub or two! Georgia is proving to be a smart cookie, she responds well to lots of yummy treats and is already walking well on her lead. She will continue to benefit from one on one training with her adopters and we will be looking for experienced adopters who can give her the dedicated amount of time and attention that she needs.
Georgia will need a special adult only home, where she is the only dog in the household and without cats. She is currently untrusting of other dogs and reacts to them by barking/snarling. It will be really important that Georgia’s adopters have experience in working with dogs who are reactive & adopters who live in a non-busy area to minimise her exposure to other dogs.
We will be looking to find Georgia a peaceful home in a quiet, rural area, somewhere she can enjoy her walks without having to worry about meeting lots of strange dogs. She will relish bonding with her adopters and her eager to please nature should be a handy tool when teaching her to focus on you instead of other dogs when exploring the big wide world. After walks, Georgia will surely be very content to snooze next you and delight in a tummy rub.
Georgia is absolutely full of love and we have no doubt that she will charm her adopters with her affectionate nature – she just needs a little bit of a helping hand to support her anxieties and we’re sure she’ll blossom in the right home with experienced and understanding adopters.
Please note, Georgia won’t be ready to travel to the UK until at least April. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Georgia as soon as possible!

Waiting to Blossom
Please note that Kiwi is currently in a foster home in Scotland but the Greece adoption fee will apply. We won’t be reviewing applications until she is a little more settled into her temporary home but do check here for updates on how she is getting along!
Kiwi had been living in a small remote village near the shelter but was picked up by our partner shelter when there was news she may be in danger. She was neutered by the shelter and has been living there along with her sister Daisie since she was roughly 1 years old.
Kiwi is as happy as she can be with shelter life but sadly she’s unlikely to progress much unless she leaves that life behind. Shelter life is busy and noisy & Kiwi simply wants a peaceful home where she can be spoiled. Kiwi would benefit from a home where someone is around often and she can revel in 1-2-1 attention & training, to help build her confidence. Her sister Daisie will be travelling on our next transport run (around April time) and we’d love to see Kiwi go to her own special home at the same time.
Kiwi gets on well with other dogs, sharing her pen with her sister, so we’re looking for her to be rehomed with a confident dog to help guide and bring out her own confidence. Kiwi is a submissive and quiet dog, so another kind & gentle dog would benefit her.
Kiwi is pleased to see the people she knows in the shelter and is confident and happy when out walking with them. She loves going out for regular walks with a lady at the shelter but can be more unsure of men (see video) so any prospective adopter will need to work on her confidence around men and new situations. She can be hesitant of new surroundings, so it may take some time for her to adapt to walking in her new environment. She’ll need some calm encouragement and we are sure she’ll be desperate to explore her new home. Kiwi loves her treats and will accept treats from men once she knows them, which will be a perfect tool when building her confidence and teaching her to come out of her shell.
To our knowledge, Kiwi hasn’t had any socialisation with children. Due to her timid nature, we will not be considering homes with young children but homes with older, calm & dog savvy children could be considered on a case by case basis.
She is a beautiful girl who simply needs some time and patience to thrive in a quiet home with a routine in place. Kiwi would like a rural home, where her prospective adopters can nurture her, allowing her to slowly bloom into the confident, happy girl she can be.

Ready to shine
Meet handsome Robbie, who has been at our partner shelter since he was a pup. Sadly, his mother was poisoned so Robbie along with his 5 siblings have been cared for at the shelter ever since. His three sisters have already made their way to the UK and now it’s Robbie’s turn to find happiness in his forever home.
Robbie is a shy boy with a heart of gold. He injured his face on some wire about a month ago and was moved to a different pen and since then, being in a more exposed area, he has started coming out of his shell and has made huge progress, becoming more confident with each month that goes by. He enjoys his walks with those he knows and loves his treats, something that will come in handy when teaching him to love his new home.
Robbie responds well to kindness and a gentle approach, he loves a cuddle with those he knows and is looking for a home that will spend time building up his confidence allowing him to flourish into a happy confident boy at his own pace. It is likely he will be nervous when he first arrives, as he isn’t used to life outside of the shelter, but we are sure it won’t take long for him to settle and realise how good life can be in a loving home! He has gotten on well with other dogs in the shelter, so we would consider homes with a confident resident dog, who might help guide Robbie and bring out his own confidence in the UK.
Robbie is looking for a quiet, rural home where he is given the time he needs to bloom. We are very excited to find Robbie his perfect home where he can finally relax and have his happy ever after.
Please note, Robbie can’t travel to the UK until November/December. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Robbie as soon as possible!

Big brown eyes
The lovely Kitty was brought to our partner shelter along with her litter of four puppies. Luckily, the family were found in time so that the shelter could help Kitty take care of her newborns. Now that her puppies are old enough, they have each been getting used to life without their super mum and will soon be embarking on their journey to the UK to settle in their forever homes. We would love to find Kitty her very own happy ending, where she can can relinquish her mothering duties, put up her paws and relax in a very loving home.
Kitty is a very friendly girl who adores plenty of affection and company from the shelter volunteers. She happily accepted help from the volunteers when they were handling her pups to make sure they got all the treatment they needed. Kitty has been a brilliant mother and we think it is time for her to get all that she deserves in return. She would love a home where she can enjoy plenty of long walks and a cosy warm bed to snooze in at the end of a long day. Food and and lots of tasty treats are the way to Kitty’s heart so we also think she could respond very well to training or learning some new tricks.
Kitty can currently be unsure of other dogs, this could be because she feels protective after recently giving birth, or to do with her hormone levels after being recently spayed. Kitty may improve around other dogs once her hormones have settled although this cannot be guaranteed. Prospective adopters will need to be aware of this and support Kitty with training and managing situations when she is uncomfortable around other dogs. It would be best if Kitty were the only dog her new home, which would preferably be in a quiet and at least semi-rural area.
Kitty’s body is still adjusting after having given birth recently. Her milk is drying up and her belly is still sagging at the moment, so she isn’t looking picture perfect just yet! But of course this is only temporary until she gets into fitter shape again. She is likely to loose some pounds once she loses the baby fat and once her tummy shrinks down again.
Kitty has not been tested with cats or children. It is likely she will not suit a home with young children but we will be assessing homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Kitty is ready for adoption now but it may take us longer to review applications as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Kitty as soon as possible!

Shy sweet soul
Meet beautiful Olive, who arrived in the UK from Bahrain last month. She was originally found wandering the streets of Bahrain & was picked up by our partner shelter who cared for her until she came to the UK. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, her adopter has come to the difficult decision that Olive needs a different home in order to thrive, & as such we are now hoping to find Olive the perfect forever home.
Olive is a sweet, affectionate dog, who bonded with her owner instantly. She loves cuddles and scratches & being close to her owner, but is also happy to spend time in her crate, & sleeps the whole night through. She’s really taken to stuffed toys and tug ropes & loves to play with these with her human.
Olive has already learnt to recall to her name and loves to spend time off lead in a safe enclosed space doing zoomies! She knows basic commands as well as being housetrained. This has all be relatively easy to teach due to her love of food; she’ll pretty much do anything for a chicken snack or some peanut butter. It is important to note that a change in environment can cause a dog to regress so adopters should expect to start from scratch with any training.
Since being in a home Olive has met a few dogs but she is generally quite nervous & uninterested in them & does not wish to play. When meeting dogs out on walks she will shy away & chooses not to interact. She has been reactive to a neighbours dog when she feels her space has been invaded, & for this reason we are looking for a home without another dog.
Olive is very nervous of new people, especially men & does not wished to be touched by them. However, if they have some tasty treats to hand she will take this, but remains cautious. She is going to need lots of positive reinforcement training around people, with owners who won’t force her into situations. If she is given time & space we believe she will come around and allow attention from other people as long as it’s on her terms.
Olive also struggles with loud noises or unknown environments. She will bark at unknown sounds & become nervous when out walking if she is unsure of the situation. With lots of positive encouragement she will come around but this does take time. As such Olive needs an adult only, rural home with a nice garden in which she feels secure. She does tend to bark at cows and horses so adopters will need to manage this behaviour & be wary when walking in countryside near livestock.
Olive is looking for someone who can understand her needs & give her time to build up her confidence. We are considering foster homes as well as adoption for Olive so do get in touch either way!
Olive originally came from Bahrain but is now living in South West England– visits can be arranged for serious adopters. Please note, the UK adoption fee will apply.

Needs some guidance!
Meet handsome Indy, who was adopted from Lesvos last year and has had a bit of a tough time since being here in the UK. Unfortunately Indy’s not quite found the right home yet and is patiently waiting for the perfect adopters to come along and give him the life he deserves.
Indy is a sweet, but sensitive boy with bundles of energy. He loves to run and walk in the great outdoors, benefiting from lots of exercise, and would make a great running companion if you’re up for it! He is eager to please and is food motivated but does get easily distracted by the goings on of the world. He therefore needs a lot of structure and guidance, to keep him engaged and entertained.
Indy is desperate to play, especially with other dogs, initiating this with a big bouncy play bow. He can become hyper and over the top in play, and this combined with his size has meant he has been told off by the other dogs in a previous foster home. Over time he has learnt to read these signals given by the other dogs and will back off when told. We really think Indy would benefit from a home with another playful, confident dog, as he get’s so much enjoyment out of their company.
Prior to his UK home, Indy had never been inside a house. He was therefore very nervous in his first home, afraid of doorways and halls, and took comfort in his crate, refusing to venture out. With time and lots of positive reinforcement, Indy’s confidence did grow both inside and outside the home, but he is still unsure of unknown situations and people. He gets spooked easily and reacts to unfamiliar noises by barking and pacing, and is nervous of people outside the home. His natural instinct is to run away, but if he is unable to do this he will react to tell people he is afraid. With proper, slow, calm introductions Indy soon settles and will make friends, but prefers if you let him come and sniff you first rather than someone actively showing him attention. Because of this, we are looking for a quiet, rural, adult only home where Indy will be given the opportunity to thrive and not be pushed into any unwanted situations.
Another very obvious trigger for Indy was the TV, which made him very unsettled in his first home and would lead to him mouthing his adopters. However, since being in a foster home, Indy has realised that actually watching TV can be great fun, and even has his favourite film ‘Pets’, which he watches frequently! It’s very important for adopters to understand that Indy will need a long settling in period whilst he adjusts to his new home with lots of structure and reward based training, allowing him to trust he is safe in his new surroundings.
As mentioned, Indy has been crate trained and takes comfort in this space. He is happy to be left alone and will chill out in his crate in the evenings after a non stop day of play and fun. It’s important to stress that he needs a very active lifestyle in order to burn off his energy, otherwise it’s likely he will become unsettled and destructive.
Indy is very loyal once he knows you and when out walking with him he constantly checks in to make sure all is well. As Indy is a little unsure of new surroundings we are looking for a home in a calm, rural area so he can fully enjoy his walks. Providing he’s had his daily dose of exercise he will happily settle at your feet, or follow you around making sure you’re never without company. He loves a cuddle and belly rub, often pawing you for more.
We are looking for a very special home for Indy, with owners who have lots of patience & experience. He is going to need a very structured life with guidance and daily positive training sessions in order to be happy in his new home. We can’t wait to finally find Indy his forever home that he’s been waiting so patiently for.
Indy originally came from Lesvos but is now in a rescue kennel in the South West– visits can be arranged for serious adopters. Please note, the UK adoption fee will apply.

Bundle of love!
Posy is one sixth of a gorgeous litter of girls, who are now proudly known as the “flower pups,” after being named over on our Instagram account. The sisters were born near an apartment block and were looked after by their street mum, before being rescued by our partner shelter at just 6 weeks old. Since then, they have been anticipating the time when they would be ready to fly the nest and each find their happily ever after.
Posy is a sweet and gentle girl with a very kind nature. She is a little timid when meeting new people but she loves her food, so as long as you have plenty of treats in hand, you are bound to be her new best friend! Once she has gobbled up those yummy snacks and starts to feel comfortable, Posy loves nothing more than a big fuss and cuddle.
Despite her initial nerves in new environments, Posy is confident around other dogs and loves going out on the daily pack walks at the shelter. She could benefit from another dog in her new home to help show her the ropes and we are sure she would love an extra play mate to help her burn off that puppy energy! With her love of food, those all important puppy training sessions should be a fun bonding task and we have no doubt she will be excellent at picking up a few new commands.
To give Posy the best chance at settling into a very new environment, we will only be considering homes in at least semi rural areas. With plenty of positive encouragement along the way, we think Posy is going to thrive more each day and we can’t wait to see how she grows!
Posy has not yet been tested with cats or children so we will be watching how her personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
When Posy was taken into the care of the shelter she tested positive with Giardia, but has since been treated and is now cleared of the infection.
Please note, Posy will not be available to travel until around March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Posy as soon as possible!

Quiet calm cuddly
Poppy is one sixth of a gorgeous litter of girls, who are now proudly known as the “flower pups,” after being named over on our Instagram account. The sisters were near an apartment block and were looked after by their street mum, before being rescued by our partner shelter at just 6 weeks old. Since then, they have been anticipating the time when they would be ready to fly the nest and each find their happily ever after.
Poppy is a sweet natured girl and like most puppies, is spending every day learning about the big wide world! She can sometimes be a little nervous when she is meeting new people, but with lots of treats and positive encouragement she is soon to warm up, especially where there is a big cosy cuddle on offer!
Poppy loves to spend her days playing and also enjoys the pack walks with the other dogs at the shelter. She easily makes friends with other dogs, so we could consider homes with a resident friendly dog to help teach Poppy about her new home. Two things Poppy cannot get enough of is treats and cuddles! These will be plenty of help when teaching Poppy lots of new tricks and bonding during some puppy training sessions.
As she continues to build her confidence, we would be keen to place Poppy in at least a semi rural home, where she can feel as safe as can be. Poppy is a real sweetheart and with committed adopters by her side, we have no doubt that she will continue to blossom more and more each day.
Poppy has not yet been tested with cats or children so we will be watching how her personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Poppy will not be available to travel until around March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Poppy as soon as possible!

A rising star
Steven was found in the middle of nowhere, sadly found with a very tight rope around his neck and with no food or water. He was eventually found by a passer-by who notified our partner shelter. Thankfully, they were able to come to the rescue and offer Steven a second chance. Steven is currently resident in a foster home and we are now looking for a special forever home that will continue to nurture Steven and his ever growing confidence.
With his big open heart, it is clear to see that Steven is slowly redefining his very cruel beginning. Steven was very frightened to begin with but with each day that passes, he is emerging out of his shell and showing off his very playful, energetic personality! Steven loves his toys and is often found chasing around a ball! With lots of puppy energy to burn off, Steven loves zooming around with his foster mates and is very fond of his four legged friends – apart from cats, as these are one furry friend Steven is not so sure of! We would love to place Steven in a home with a resident, confident dog, as he will really benefit from a friend to show him the way, we are sure he would appreciate the extra playmate!
Steven was not quite sure if he could trust humans again but since interacting with the other dogs at the shelter, he has taken their lead and is beginning to understand he is very much welcome to plenty of love and cuddles. Considering we don’t know much about Steven’s life before he was found, there is naturally a few situations which can make Steven nervous. He is unsure of loud noises and raised voices as well as people holding sticks. It will be really important for Steven to be in a quieter home without young children and with adopters who feel confident working through such issues and positively reminding Steven how far he has come.
We think Steven is best suited to a rural home, where he can enjoy the quiet bliss and continue the excellent work he has begun! Steven is worthy of so much more than his unfair start and with adopters who are willing to give him all the time he needs to continue to grow and learn, we know he will have plenty of love to offer in return!
Please note, Steven won’t be ready to travel to the UK until at least the start of February. As a result, we will not be reviewing applications until the New Year, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Steven as soon as possible!

Curious keen clever
Libby, originally known as Liberty, is from Romania and came to the UK earlier this year and is now living in a foster home. Her original owners made the difficult decision that Libby would be best suited to a new home, where she can continue to grow in a new environment.
Over the past several months in her foster home, Libby has continuously impressed her foster carer with her intelligence and curiosity! She is an explorer at heart and likes to keep her clever brain busy! Once Libby gets to know you, she has a lot of life and loyalty to give to people that she feels comfortable with. We are looking for experienced adopters who can offer her routine and patient encouragement to continue her learning.
Libby is very much still a big puppy, with lots of the energy to match! This combined with her natural independence means she will thrive when given structure. She often likes to be close and “help” with whatever you are doing, so adopters who can keep Libby busy with her own set of jobs and regular training sessions will be important for keeping her brain stimulated. Libby loves playing with puzzle toys and figuring out how she can gain a big tasty reward! As she is still a youngster, Libby is also still chewing. This is something that is decreasing with her training and will need to be continued with new adopters; with lots of treats on hand and positive reminders that she is doing well, Libby is a very motivated girl.
When Libby meets new people, she can be unsure and nervous, particularly around men. When someone is approaching unexpectedly, she can also be vocal and back away. In these circumstances, Libby will need very slow introductions and space to approach in her own time. Once she has got to know you and time is spent building up her trust, Libby’s soft side is released and she proudly presents her belly for all of the tummy rubs she can get! We will be looking to place Libby in at least a semi-rural adult home, somewhere that is quieter and able to let Libby relax in her new surroundings.
Libby would thrive in a home with a resident dog. She adores meeting other dogs out on her walks and comes in to her own when she is playing, wrestling and chasing lots of new friends. It would be ideal for Libby to build up a bond with a confident, older dog who can teach her that strangers are not so scary after all.
When Libby is out on her walks she is brilliant on lead, however she does become nervous of anyone walking or cycling too close. Her foster has been working with a trainer to improve this, something that will again need to be continued in her forever home. Libby will thrive with walks in engaging areas and hopefully, as she is a very keen swimmer – somewhere with rivers! Libby loves to splash about in water whenever she can find it and isn’t afraid of getting her fur wet! She is often allowed off lead when playing with other dogs and in enclosed spaces but her re-call will still need to be included in her training sessions. Extra work on keeping Libby’s attention around squirrels & other small furries will be important as she can be distracted and does like to chase! For this reason, Libby would be best placed in a home without cats.
Libby’s favourite thing about living in her foster home is the large garden, which she regularly asks to be let out into! She enjoys sniffing and exploring but also a big snooze in the afternoon sun. As much as Libby likes to be by your side, she is also content chilling in her own space and has got used to being left for short periods of time. She can be vocal if she hears lots of noise outside but with some reassurance and a cuddle, she is learning that she is safe. Libby would like to be close by for bedtime, she contently sleeps the night away without any problems in her own bed – which is currently in her foster carers bedroom . She will often ask for a big snuggle first thing in the morning, her favourite way to start the day!
With a family who will dedicate their time to working with and understanding such a clever girl, we know they will have the pleasure of welcoming a big ball of bountiful fun and love into their lives.
Libby originally came from Romania but is now living in South-East UK – visits can be arranged for serious adopters. Please note, the UK adoption fee will apply.

Play with me
Moss & his siblings were found abandoned with their mum in a nearby field to our partner shelter in Greece. Mum and pups were all rescued safely and are now living at the shelter & ready to find their own homes!
Moss is a happy, playful and curious puppy! He has only recently been rescued and is still getting used to some aspects of shelter life so is a little apprehensive about new experiences but he’s already shown huge improvements in confidence and has begun going for short lead walks around the shelter with his siblings.
Moss and his siblings were understandably a little nervous of people to begin with but, with the aid of a few puppy treats, they’ve now grown to love the shelter workers and enjoy going for walks with them. Adopters should be mindful that Moss may be timid with them to begin with but he shows great promise to become more confident with slow and gradual training & socialisation.
Moss is the only boy of his litter but his sisters give as good as him & they all enjoy having a good rough and tumble together! He gets on well with other dogs and could be rehomed with a friendly, playful resident dog.
Moss hasn’t had socialisation with cats or children but we will be watching how his personality develops and can consider homes with both on a case by case basis.
Moss has just begun having some basic lead training but lots more puppy training will be needed! He is also an energetic pup who would benefit from active adopters who will keep him well stimulated.
Please note, Moss won’t be travelling until at least the end of May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Moss as soon as possible!

Adorable pocket rocket!
Alba and her sister, Blanka were found in an olive grove next door to our partner shelter with their mum Clara who was fiercely protecting her babies. Thankfully, the family of three were taken in to the care of our amazing partner, who helped nurture the young pups and gave them a safe place to await their forever homes.
Alba is a very happy and playful pup! Although she has an energetic side, she is the most relaxed of her family and much prefers the company of humans to that of her mum and sister. Whilst they are often zooming around, Alba would much rather sneak away in search of a tummy rub from her foster carer! Alba is a very affectionate girl at heart, we think she will love bonding with a family of her own and will also relish some peace and quiet, where she won’t have to worry about Blanka interrupting her precious cuddle time!
Alba will have plenty to learn in her new home and given that the world is a very exciting place for a small pup, she can sometimes become distracted during her training sessions, however she does have a few more manners than her sister! Thankfully, Alba’s love of treats (her favourites are apples and bananas!) should be a handy training tool and she is much more patient than Blanka when waiting her turn for a treat, but be careful where they are kept, as Alba has an eagle eye for finding an extra snack when no ones looking!
We would love to find Alba an active home where she has plenty of opportunities to go on exciting adventures where she can let off all her steam. She will also be happy as the only dog in her new home or somewhere with a resident dog, that is calm and relaxed around energetic puppies. Alba can be unsure of dogs that are much bigger than her at first, but with plenty of encouragement she soon makes friends.
Alba hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children so we will be watching how her puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, that due to on-going travel restrictions and transport logistics, we currently do not have a transport date in place for dogs travelling from Lesvos. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Alba as soon as possible!

Adorable little monster!
Emerald and her siblings were found with their mum, Gemma in a remote area of Lesvos. Gemma had dug underneath a rock to keep her pups safe and it was here that they were discovered by a soldier, who notified our partner shelter to come to their rescue. The family have since been in foster care, where they have been learning, playing and growing more each day! Finally, Emerald and her family are ready to fly the nest and find their forever homes in the UK.
Emerald is the definition of small but mighty! She absolutely loves to play and despite being a young pup, she definitely knows how to rule the roost! Emerald had to be separated from her siblings pen because she was becoming dominant and very bossy with them! There is no doubt that Emerald is a huge bundle of fun and she will love a family as active as her, but she will also need adopters who are committed to regular training sessions and confident setting clear boundaries when she is in her new home.
Emerald is mostly found zooming around or collecting her beloved toys, which she sometimes tries to steal from her siblings and keeps them all to herself! To be sure this doesn’t progress into resource guarding behaviour, we will be looking to place Emerald in a home as the only dog, but she will still benefit from socialising when she is out on her walks. She would also love her new home to be close to plenty of exciting adventures so that she has an outlet for all of her excitable energy! As much as Emerald is sure to keep you busy, she is just as likely to snuggle in close for a relaxing snooze at the end of the day.
There is no doubt that Emerald will steal the hearts of her adopters and she is bound to charm them with her clever ways. She will be keen to take part in training sessions where there are her favourite treats involved, but she can sometimes be a little nippy when there is food on offer and she will need to learn some more patience. With plenty of structure and guidance she will definitely benefit from a clear routine. As she has a little more to learn about manners and sharing, we will only be considering homes with older and dog savvy children.
Emerald has also been tested with cats, so we can consider homes with dog savvy resident cats on a case by case basis.
Please note, that due to on-going travel restrictions and transport logistics, we currently do not have a transport date in place for dogs travelling from Lesvos. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Emerald as soon as possible!

Happy fluffy puppy
Oxley and his brothers were born at the back of an apartment block to their mum who is a street dog. Our partner shelter plan to safely neuter her soon but in the meantime her pups were taken to the shelter, where they could grown, learn and play in a safe environment.
Oxley was only 6 weeks old when he arrived at our partner shelter so he is fairly used to being handled and always welcomes lots of fuss from shelter volunteers! He is a friendly little soul and like most young pups, he has plenty of energy so he will definitely love an active home who can commit to plenty of walks.
Not only is Oxley a friendly boy but he is also a very clever chap. He is already learning some basic manners at the shelter, but his family will need to keep the good work up to scratch once he is in his new home and regular puppy training sessions will be a must. Luckily, Oxley is always happy to oblige when there is a tasty treat or two in store!
Oxley enjoys joining the other dogs on the pack walks and is happy to share his toys with them – what a polite pup! Considering his kind manners, we could place him in a home with a resident friendly dog but do bear in mind that Oxley is likely to be a large dog when fully grown, so he will need a bit of extra space within the home.
Oxley hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children so we will be watching how his puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Oxley won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Oxley as soon as possible!

Real friendly chap
Meet lovely Lionel, who was rescued by a local lady whilst wandering the streets. Lionel has been living in his rescuers yard for the last few months, along with other dogs, and he is now ready to find his forever home!
Lionel is now living at the shelter & has been extremely friendly with everyone he’s met so far. He loves a fuss & cuddle and is fairly confident, but adopters should be prepared that his confidence will likely regress a little when he arrives in the UK, until he gets used to a new way of life!
We’re hoping to find Lionel a home with some exciting walks nearby where he can sniff to his hearts content! It is likely he may take a little time to adjust to a new environment, but with adopters who are as patient and as kind as him, we are sure it won’t be long until he feels confident exploring his new area. Lionel has limited lead walk training but, since being at the shelter, he’s enjoying going for short walks and is finding them very exciting! So exciting that he’s pulling a little, but this is to be expected with little lead training & lots of exciting smells to sniff. Adopters will need to be prepared to work on his lead walking & also practicing lots of recall up against distracting sniffs!
Lionel gets along well with other dogs that he has met and is currently sharing a pen with Tony at the shelter. Lionel gets along very well with other dogs and enjoys playing so he could be suited to a home with a resident friendly dog or, equally, he could be happy to have all the attention to himself. Lionel also gets along well with cats and generally ignores them, so we can also consider homes with cats.
Lionel hasn’t been tested with children so we will be watching how his personality develops & assessing homes on a case by case basis.
Lionel is an extremely friendly chap that is finally ready for his happy ending and we can’t wait to help him with that!
Please note, Lionel can’t travel until at least the end of May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Lionel as soon as possible!

A real sweetheart
Meet the very beautiful Magnolia! Magnolia and her son, Reef, were found together sheltering at the back of a hotel. It is likely that Magnolia had been tied up for a long time given the markings around her neck. Thankfully, no wounds were found and she and her son were otherwise in good health. They have since been taken in to the safety of our partner shelter, where they are each now awaiting a forever home in the UK.
Magnolia is a real sweetheart who happily makes friends with both humans and other dogs. She has a wonderful contagious & happy demeanour that she uses to charm the shelter volunteers. She is particularly eager to please for a big tummy rub (or three!). Considering Magnolia’s friendly nature we could consider homes with a friendly resident dog.
Magnolia is a gentle dog, she walks well on her lead and is very treat orientated. This will come in handy when she is learning all about her new home and when she is out exploring her new surroundings. She loves going for short walks around the shelter and will benefit from a home nearby to lots of green walking opportunities, where she can stroll and sniff to her hearts content with her family by her side. It is likely she will take some time to acclimatise to her new area, so adopters must be committed to taking things slowly and helping her settle & build her confidence.
We think Magnolia is going to adore having a home of her own, where she can relish the attention and fuss from her new family. With a heap of love to give and her cheerful outlook on life, we have no doubt Magnolia will make an excellent companion.
Magnolia is in need of a good groom & deep scrub when she’s settled in, given the apparent lack of upkeep for her coat previously, but she’ll soon shine like the diamond she deserves to be!
Magnolia has a very gentle nature but has only recently been rescued. We will be watching how her personality develops and will be considering homes with children on a case by case basis. Magnolia is unfazed by the shelter cats but doesn’t have regular socialisation with them. We can consider homes with confident cats that have experience of living with dogs before.
Please note, Magnolia won’t be travelling until at least the end of May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Magnolia as soon as possible!

Curious little lady!
The lovely little Alcea was found abandoned in the middle of nowhere all alone and left to fend for herself at a very young age. Thankfully Alcea was found by a kind stranger who took her into their home, where she is currently in foster before she moves to our partner shelter. We can’t wait to find this special little girl her forever home in the UK!
Alcea is a very sweet girl who is still learning lots about the world around her. At such a young age, the world is a very exciting place for a small pup and Alcea is bravely taking it all in her stride! Despite her small current size, Alcea will be at least medium in size when fully grown.
Alcea is proving to be a happy little puppy and, like most young dogs, she is very curious to explore her new surroundings. She will definitely need some guidance and time to settle once she arrives in the UK. It’ll be important that her adopters commit to lots of puppy training sessions to teach Alcea all about her new home & help build her confidence with new experiences but she is already proving to be a quick little learner.
As Alcea’s personality is still developing, there is very little that she does not currently like. She is keen to make friends with everyone that she meets so could suit a home with a resident dog, but we are also sure she will be just as content with all of the cuddles and affection to herself as well!
Alcea is a playful girl and is sure to light up her new home with lots of joy and we can’t wait to find her a family that will spoil her rotten!
Alcea hasn’t been tested with cats or children so we will be assessing her suitability on a case by case basis.
Please note, Alcea won’t be travelling until end of May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Alcea as soon as possible!

Cute and clever!
Meet the wonderful Fluffy! Fluffy’s mum is an owned pet who was brought to our partner shelter to be neutered. When Fluffy’s mum was safely returned to her family, Fluffy took up residency at the shelter where she could look forward to an exciting new life in the UK!
Fluffy was brought to our partner shelter at 8 weeks old and prior to this, she was brought up inside a home. Having been handled from a young age, Fluffy is very confident when meeting new people and other dogs. She is a happy ball of energy and like most young puppies, loves spending her time playing, cuddling and zooming around with her friends!
Fluffy especially enjoys going out on the pack walks with the other dogs at the shelter. She is an energetic girl who will love a home in at least a semi rural area, where she can enjoy adventuring and playing with adopters who are just as full as life as she is! We could definitely consider homes with a resident doggy sibling for Fluffy, but this is not a necessity as either way Fluffy will be quite content soaking up plenty of attention to herself!
Another of Fluffy’s favourite things in life, (at the moment she loves almost everything!) is snoozing in the sunniest spots that she can find. After a long day of exploring, playing and lots of those all important puppy lessons, Fluffy is bound to enjoy curling up in her own special spot to dream the day away.
Given Fluffy’s friendly nature, we could potentially consider homes with children that are sensible and calm around young dogs.
Fluffy has not yet been tested with cats so we will be watching how her personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Fluffy won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Fluffy as soon as possible!

Confident and clever
Blue was found abandoned at a train station and was wondering around with another pup called Cindy, who is believed to be her sister. Blue was adopted not long after her rescue, but unfortunately the family decided they no longer wanted to keep her and she was brought back to the shelter. We are looking forward to finding this unique girl her forever family in the UK.
Blue is a very confident puppy who is great around people, she often approaches the volunteers for a cuddle and lots of attention. We think Blue is going to make an excellent companion and will relish having a family who will spoil her rotten with all of the love that she so craves.
Blue has already had some basic training at the shelter, which she took to very well. She will need to keep up the good work once in her new home but considering that Blue is such a bright spark who is motivated by lots of tasty treats and fun toys, this should be a fun bonding task!
Blue really enjoys playing with the other dogs at the shelter and loves going out on the pack walks. She did initially show some signs of resource guarding around food which has since improved but this will need to be monitored if she is sharing a home with a resident dog. Unfortunately we cannot consider homes with cats or other small furries, as these are one thing Blue does not like!
Blue has lots of energy so we would love to find her a home in at least a semi rural area nearby to lots of exciting adventures, where she will have lots of opportunities to let off her puppy steam!
Blue has not been tested with children so we will be watching how her personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Blue won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Blue as soon as possible!

Timid but Loving
Siena and her brother, Sydney, were brought to the shelter together as part of an unwanted litter. Sadly, this is a common result in our partner countries due to the lack of sterilisation available. Sydney will soon be leaving shelter life behind for his forever home, but sadly Siena is still awaiting her same lucky day.
With her uncertain start to life, Siena is slow to learn about trust. She can be timid and unsure to begin with, so it will be really important for her new adopter to be patient and willing to work with her anxieties. Once she feels comfortable, Siena has proven to be a very loving and playful girl, she just needs a little more nurturing. Spending time together, working on some training & not pushing Siena will be really important to helping confidence grow. Once you Siena’s trust, she’s a companion for life and her personality will begin to shine!
We are looking for a quieter home in a rural area, as this will be best for nurturing her confidence and to slowly allow her to familiarise herself with new experiences. Siena has always lived in the shadow of her brother, Sydney, and followed him everywhere. For this reason, Siena would love to live with a friendly, neutral, resident dog, as this should help her to come out of her shell.
Siena has not been cat tested and we will not be considering homes with cats.
As Siena is a nervous girl, a home without young, noisy children will be beneficial for her.
We are hoping we can find a dedicated and loving owner to work with Siena and help her realise that she is finally, very much wanted.
Please note, Siena is ready to travel now but due to the backlog of dogs needing to travel, it could be a few months before she is able to travel home. Thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Siena as soon as possible!

Cute and kind
Leo along with his siblings and their mum, Rose were all owned dogs before they unfortunately had to be surrendered to the streets, due to circumstances out of their owners control. Thankfully, our partner shelter were called to the rescue and as soon as Leo’s mum saw the volunteers, she ran over – almost as if she was asking for her pups to be brought to safety. Now the family are each one step closer to finding a loving forever home and we can’t wait to find them just that!
Leo is an adorable pup with a loving personality to match! His relaxed and calm nature means he is pretty confident when meeting new people and we think he will relish having a family of his very own to snuggle up to at the end of a long day.
Alongside cuddles, Leo is also a big fan of a tasty treat or two. This has come in handy during his lead training at the shelter and we think he will really enjoy picking up some more tricks in his new home, especially if it means there are a few more treats up for grabs!
As Leo is a friendly chap, he is quite content with the other dogs at the shelter and enjoys joining them all on the pack walks. We would love to place him in at least a semi rural home where he has an abundance of choice for walks on his doorstep and we will also consider homes with a resident friendly dog.
Leo has not been tested with children or cats so we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Leo won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Leo as soon as possible!

Fun loving adventurer!
Scamp was found abandoned in the town nearby to our partner shelter. Sadly he had a laceration to his head and he was fearful of being touched but it is unknown what caused this. Scamp was very scared to be rescued but eventually the volunteers managed to get him safely to the shelter.
Scamp has come a long way since the day he was found and after some nerves when he first arrived at the shelter, he has now blossomed into a confident and loving dog. He absolutely adores being around people and will never tire of too many cuddles, in fact the more the merrier in Scamp’s opinion! Scamp has a larger than life character and we are certain that he will make a brilliant companion to a family who love life just as much as he does.
Wherever there are fun and games to be had, Scamp is often leading the way with his exuberant energy! He will definitely need an active home with adopters who enjoy going on adventures or maybe even need a running companion! Scamp loves bounding through the forests on pack walks and will really benefit from living nearby to lots of exciting walks that are right on his doorstep.
We will be looking to place Scamp in an adult only home in at least a semi rural area, as he can find loud noises unsettling and we want to give him the best chance at adapting in his new environment.
Scamp also loves playing with his toys and the other dogs at the shelter. He can get a little grumpy around male dogs so adopters will need to be slow and steady with introductions to other dogs, but that being said his best friend is a male! He could suit a home with a resident doggy sibling but we are sure this charming boy won’t mind the attention and fuss all to himself either. For Scamp, it is all about the little things in life and after a long day of adventuring, a big snuggle on the sofa with his favourite humans will be the best way to round off the busy day!
Whilst Scamp very much enjoys the company of most other dogs, the same cannot be said for cats, so we are looking for a cat free home only.
Scamp recently tested positive for Ehrlichia, (a disease transmitted through a tick bite) but he has since been treated and cleared of the disease, with no complications.
Please note, Scamp won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Scamp as soon as possible!

The golden girl
The darling Goldie was found abandoned in the town centre nearby to our partner shelter. When she saw one of the volunteers, Goldie ran straight over to befriend her and the next is history, as she travelled to the shelter in the back of the volunteers car!
Goldie is a real sweetheart who is incredibly loyal and loving with people. Everyday she has a welcoming wag for everyone that she meets and seemingly shows her rescuers gratitude by showering them in all the love she has to give. Goldie is happiest when she is around her favourite humans and we have no doubt this gentle girl will relish having a family of her own.
As well as hugging humans, Goldie also gets along with the other dogs at the shelter (her best friend is the lovely Dobri) and enjoys going out on the pack walks. She would love a home with active adopters who live in at least a semi-rural area nearby to plenty of exciting adventures and could also be suited to a home with a resident friendly dog. Either way, we have no doubt that Goldie will soon make herself at home by finding the sunniest spots in the house for her afternoon snooze!
When Goldie first arrived at the shelter, she was protective of food around the other dogs, this is a very natural reaction for a dog that has had to fend for themselves on the streets and she has since improved with this. Prospective adopters should still be prepared to continue training on resource guarding once she is in her new home and meal times should be separate for an extended period if she is living with a resident dog.
Goldie has had interaction with children so we will be considering homes with older, sensible children on a case by case basis.
Please note we will not be considering homes with cats or other small furries, as unfortunately they are one thing Goldie is not so fond of.
Please note, Goldie won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Goldie as soon as possible!

Small but mighty!
The wonderful Mr Darcy was found abandoned in the town nearby to our partner shelter. Sadly, it looked as if Mr Darcy had previously been mistreated, as he had some recent wounds on his face and was covered in fleas. Thankfully, our partner shelter rescued Mr Darcy from the streets and gave him all the care that he needed. He is now fighting fit and ready to find a forever home in the UK.
Mr Darcy is a friendly little chap who has brightened up the shelter with his cheeky and charming ways. He may only be small but he is full of personality! Mr Darcy is very loyal and adores being around people; he easily attaches himself to his favourite humans, especially when there is plenty of fuss and cuddles on offer!
Mr Darcy is still finding his paws amongst the other dogs at the shelter but he hasn’t had any problems interacting with them and the exciting pack walks are a highlight of his day. As the definition of small and mighty, his little legs should definitely not be underestimated as he has no problem keeping up with the others or leading the way!
Mr Darcy may need some time to adjust to a very different environment, but we are sure with plenty of positive praise and some of his favourite treats, he will be exploring all that his new home has to offer in no time. Due to the very rural nature of the shelter, we will only be considering at least semi-rural homes for Mr Darcy. We could place him in a home with a resident dog, but we definitely will not be considering homes with cats, as unfortunately they are one thing Mr Darcy does not like!
Mr Darcy has not had any interaction with children, but homes with older children who are sensible around dogs will be considered.

Baloo the bear!
Introducing the special Baloo, who was sadly left outside a pet shop recently. Baloo is now in the safe hands of our partner shelter, where he is patiently awaiting a forever home in the UK.
Baloo is a big pup with a big heart to match! He has a very loving nature and will often seek out affection from shelter volunteers – his favourite is a tummy rub! Baloo is curious of his surroundings and is bravely exploring the shelter, he was initially a bit nervous when meeting some of the other dogs, but with gentle encouragement he soon makes friends and releases his very playful side.
Baloo is still coming out of his shell and learning about the world around him but he is proving to be a brave boy who is very willing to learn with understanding and patience. He is already responding well to the shelter workers’ voice & especially likes lots of tasty treats, which will be a very handy training tool during those all important training sessions.
Baloo has plenty of energy to exert and will need an active family who can keep up with him! He loves zooming around and will be best suited to a home in a semi rural area, with access to open green areas and where he has the space to release some steam!
Baloo is going to be a large dog, so adopters with experience of large breeds will be beneficial and a home with a little extra room to spare for a big pup would definitely be appreciated!
Baloo hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children so we will be watching how his puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis. However, due to his size and boisterous nature, we will not be considering homes with young children.
Sadly, Baloo was found with his whiskers cut off. Although we do not know why this practice was carried out it has not caused him any issues and they will grow back in time!
Please note, Baloo won’t be ready to travel to the UK until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Baloo as soon as possible!

Everyone's best friend!
Meet the marvellous Morgan! Morgan was brought to our partner shelter when he was around 18 months old. Sadly prior to his arrival, Morgan was hit by a car which meant that one of his injured legs was unavoidably removed, but he has not let this stop his zest for life and, thankfully, it does not cause him any further issues. We cannot wait to watch Morgan leap into his new life and into the arms of his very lucky forever family.
Morgan is a charming and chirpy boy. He has bravely taken to life on his three paws without a hint of hesitation and never lets this get in his way. Morgan adores being around people, and always has a big tail wag at the ready when shelter volunteers come by to visit him, as he knows it is time for a big fuss and cuddle!
Morgan enjoys going out on his walks and is already walking well on his lead but at the moment he does not have the opportunity to go on regular walks, so he will benefit from a regular routine going forward. Understandably, it may take Morgan a little time to get used to his new environment, so he will need adopters who are patient and kind whilst he adjusts, but once he starts to feel settled (and with a few of his favourite treats thrown in for good measure) we are sure he will love to explore his surroundings!
Morgan is a playful boy at heart and gets along well with other dogs, as well as cats (see video below). Seeing as he is such a friendly soul, we can consider homes with either, but we are also sure he won’t mind having the sofa space all to himself!
To our knowledge, Morgan has not had any socialisation with children but given his gentle nature, we could consider homes with older children that are sensible and dog savvy.
Please note, Morgan can’t travel until at least April/May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Morgan as soon as possible!

Kind happy soul
Rudolph and his sisters Merry and Ivy, were abandoned in a very remote part of Bulgaria, not far from our partner shelter. Thankfully, the owners of our partner shelter were passing through the area and were able to rescue the siblings. Rudolph’s fate changed for the better when he was found, as he is now one step closer to finding a wonderful forever home.
Rudolph is a gentle pup who’s personality is still developing every day. He was initially very frightened when being rescued and it took him a few weeks to properly settle once he had arrived at the shelter. Considering we do not know what he had been through before his rescue, Rudolph has done very well to come out of his shell and he now seeks out plenty of fuss and treats from shelter volunteers! To help Rudolph adapt to his new environment, he will definitely need lots positive encouragement from his adopters, but when given the time and patience he needs, we are sure he will be relishing his new home comforts soon enough.
Rudolph is brilliant with other dogs, he enjoys their company on pack walks and also loves tumbling around with the other puppies at the shelter. With this in mind, we would love to find Rudolph a doggy sibling in his new home, so that he has an extra playmate and a little guidance from a resident friendly dog. Once he’s had his fill of fun, Rudolph happily takes himself off for a snooze in the sun and peacefully sits back and watches the world go by. We would love to find Rudolph a home with adopters who have previous dog experience, in a rural area, so that he has the best chance of settling in and to ensure he can enjoy his afternoon naps in as much peace as possible!
Like his siblings, Rudolph is a very smart pup! He really enjoys training sessions and has already taken well to walking on the lead. We are sure he will continue to impress his adopters by keeping up the good work at home!
Rudolph hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children so we will be watching how his puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Rudolph has recently tested positive for Giardia (a common bacterial gut infection caused by a microscopic parasite), but he is currently being treated for the infection, which will have cleared before travel.
Please note, Rudolph won’t be travelling until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Rudolph as soon as possible!

Special little lady
Ivy and her siblings Merry and Rudolph, were abandoned in a very remote part of Bulgaria, not far from our partner shelter. Thankfully, the owners of our partner shelter were passing through the area and were able to rescue the siblings. Ivy’s fate changed for the better when she was found, as she is now one step closer to finding a wonderful forever home.
Ivy is a sweet natured puppy who’s personality is still developing every day. She is a little nervous when she meets new people or when she is in a new environment, so Ivy will need plenty of positive encouragement and slow introductions to people, places and things once in her new home. Once she has learnt to trust you and with a few treats in hand for good measure, Ivy loves a big cuddle and tummy rub!
Ivy loves going on pack walks and enjoys playing with the other dogs at the shelter. As such, we would love to find her a doggy sibling, so that she has an extra playmate and a little guidance from a resident friendly dog. To help Ivy build her confidence, we will only be considering homes with previous dog experience in at least semi-rural areas, so that she has the best chance of settling into her new environment.
Ivy is a very smart girl and is already proving to be a very quick learner! She has begun some basic lead training at the shelter and to make sure she keeps up the good work, adopters will need to continue training sessions once she is in her new home.
Ivy hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children so we will be watching how her puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Ivy has recently tested positive for Giardia (a common bacterial gut infection caused by a microscopic parasite), but she is currently being treated for the infection, which will have cleared before travel.

A natural sweetheart!
Merry and her siblings, Ivy and Rudolph were abandoned in a very remote part of Bulgaria, not far from our partner shelter. Luckily, the owners of our partner shelter were passing through the area and as soon as Merry saw them, she ran over; almost as if she was asking to be rescued. Thankfully, Merry and her sibling’s fate changed for the better when they were found, as they are now one step closer to finding a wonderful forever home.
Merry is a very sweet, confident puppy who’s personality is still developing every day. She is a very happy girl who enjoys being around people, and is always keen for a big fuss and cuddle from shelter volunteers! Once she starts to feel relaxed in her new environment, we are sure Merry will be quick to relish her home comforts and will enjoy building a special bond with her lucky family.
Merry has got plenty of energy to burn and enjoys going on pack walks, as well as playing with the other dogs in the shelter, she is even happy to share her toys – what a polite pup! Given this, we will consider homes with a friendly resident dog. We will also be looking for an active home, in an at least semi-rural area where she will have plenty of room to burn off some steam!
Merry has begun some basic training at the shelter and is already a star student! Adopters will need to keep her up to scratch once in her new home, but we are sure this is bound to be a fun bonding task given that she is such a natural already!
Merry hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children so we will be watching how her puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Merry has recently tested positive for Giardia (a common bacterial gut infection caused by a microscopic parasite), but she is currently being treated for the infection, which will have cleared before travel.

A charming gentleman
Nachos was brought to our partner shelter some time ago, it is likely that he was a stray before he was rescued and thankfully having found himself in good hands, he is now one step closer to finding the loving home that he has been waiting for.
Nachos is an incredibly gentle dog with a heart full of love, although he may not have had a family of his own before, it is clear to see how much he adores being around people. He greets everyone at the shelter with a warm welcome and it’s not long until he presents his belly for a tummy rub! Nachos confidently takes to people at the shelter and has a very polite nature, which could suggest he’ll adapt and settle in fairly quickly. However, you should be mindful that he may need a little time to adjust to his new environment but with plenty of loving guidance from his adopters, we’re sure he’ll relish making himself at home! As Nachos has spent the majority of his life in a rural area, his ideal home would be at least semi-rural and somewhere with easy access to green areas.
Nachos may be a more mature gentleman but this does not stop his get up and go! He gets very excited to go out on his walks and he would adore getting out more regularly than he is currently able to at the shelter. We are sure that once he has started to feel comfortable and builds up his confidence in his new home, he will enjoy a regular routine where he can explore lots of engaging walks with his family by his side.
Nachos is a very charming boy and gets along well with the other dogs that he has had interaction with at the shelter. He could suit a home with a resident dog but we are sure he will be just as content soaking up plenty of attention to himself as well! He has not had any interaction with cats, so we will be considering homes on a case by case basis.
Nachos has not had any interaction with children, but given his gentle nature he could be suited to a home with older children who are dog savvy.
Nachos’ time has finally come to find a home where he can cuddle up to his family at the end of the day, and we can’t wait to find this loyal boy his long awaited happy ending.
Please note, Nachos can’t travel until at least May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Nachos as soon as possible!

Very loyal boy
Dobri was found in the local town by our partner shelter’s volunteers, where he was wondering around and approaching people to say hello! It is likely he was given up by a previous owner, as he looked healthy and wasn’t frightened when the volunteers rescued him and took him to the shelter. Now the time has finally come for Dobri to embark on his journey to the UK and we can’t wait to find this loyal boy the forever home that he has been dreaming of.
Dobri is a very happy and friendly chap! He adores people and doesn’t show any nerves when he is meeting someone new, in fact the more friends the better for Dobri! He is bound to adore having a family of his own, as he is incredibly loyal and will relish having lots of attention all to himself. Dobri will make a wonderful companion to a very lucky family and we are sure that he will light up his new home with his loving nature and charming ways.
Whilst Dobri makes friends very easily, he can sometimes be a little grumpy around other male dogs, specifically those who have not been neutered. Prospective adopters will need to be aware of this when out on walks and as such, we think he would be happiest as the only dog in his new home. However, we think this could be worked on with experienced and calm owners, as he does enjoy going out on the pack walks with the other dogs at the shelter and is soon to release his very playful side!
After a nice long walk, there is nowhere Dobri would rather be than snoozing in front of the fire at the shelter! We are sure that once he gets used to his new home, he will have no trouble scoping out the best cosy spots for an afternoon nap. Dobri is a brilliant boy and would love nothing more than a family by his side who are ready to spoil him rotten!
To our knowledge, Dobri has not had any socialisation with children or cats. With this in mind, we will be considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Dobri won’t be travelling until at least the end of March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Dobri as soon as possible!

Big bear hugs!
Meet the wonderful Juniper! Juniper had a very shocking start to her life when at just two weeks old, she was found in a dustbin behind a pet shop. It is a huge stroke of luck that the owner of the shop found Juniper when she did and, thankfully, took Juniper into her care. Now that she is old enough, Juniper is ready to fly the nest of her foster home in search of her forever family.
Juniper is a very young pup, so her personality is still developing every day. Having been hand reared by her rescuer since 2 weeks old, she is fairly confident in new situations and is very curious to learn about the world around her. However, adopters should expect that she’ll still need careful socialisation as she is likely to regress and be timid when first arriving at her new home. At the moment, Juniper is a happy little ball of energy who is keen to be everyone’s best friend!
Juniper is currently in a foster home, so has some experience of living in a home. During the day, Juniper goes to the pet shop with her rescuer – and gets all the fuss from visiting shop goers! – and at night she goes home with the owner of the pet shop for her well earned rest. Her new family will need to keep up the good work once she is in her new home, as well as giving her plenty of time to adapt to her new environment. Juniper gets along well with other dogs and could live in a home with another dog, or be quite content to have all the attention to herself!
This happy little girl is bound to bring plenty of fun into her new home and after a long day of playing, exploring and learning, there is no place she would rather be than cuddled up with her favourite people.
Juniper hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children so we will be watching how her puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Juniper is likely to be a large breed dog and adopters with experience of large breed rescues will be beneficial.
Please note, Juniper won’t be ready to travel to the UK until at least April/May. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Juniper as soon as possible!

Loves a nap!
Sally was found abandoned at the roadside when she was only three months old. She was rescued and taken in by our partner shelter, where she has since been patiently awaiting a new beginning and a family to call her own.
Sally is a gentle girl with a very laid back nature. She enjoys going out on the shelters pack walks, but there is usually one place she can’t wait to be and that is her her warm, cosy bed! She is often found lounging around and we are sure that she will have no trouble picking out the cosiest spot for an afternoon nap in her new home! Sally enjoys life’s simple pleasures and is most happy when she is snuggled up in bed with her favourite chew toys.
Sally is content when interacting with the other dogs at the shelter and does love a snuggle with her pen mates, but we are sure she wouldn’t mind being the only dog in her new home – just so long as there are extra cuddles on offer from her humans! Prospective adopters may want to consider her size, as she could be on track to grow into a giant dog and therefore, may take up a bit more sofa space when snuggling in for a cuddle!
There is one thing Sally can never get enough of, and that is her food! She absolutely loves meal times and as long as there are treats nearby, Sally is not far behind! Luckily, this makes training a lot of fun and we have no doubt that she will be teachers pet during training sessions in her new home – just be sure to hide those treats out of reach in-between lessons, as this smart girl will be sure to look for more where they came from!
Sally has not been tested with children or cats, we will be watching how her personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Sally is a gorgeous gentle giant and we can’t wait to find her a home that is bursting with as much love as she is!
Please note, Sally will be not be available to travel until at least the end of March. Due to unprecedented demand, it may take us longer to reply to applications – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Sally as soon as possible!

Very special soul
Clara was found in an enclosed area of land by the owner of our partner shelter in Lesvos. When she visited Clara and brought her food and water, Clara was initially frightened and reacted out of fear. Clara had a change of heart when she was taken in to the care of our partner and realised she was finally in safe company, immediately giving he rescuer a thank you kiss on the hand. Since being rescued, Clara has grown in confidence and we think she will make a wonderful companion to very lucky adopters in the UK.
Clara is an incredibly intelligent girl, who learns very quickly and has blossomed out of her shell more each day. It is clear that she is very grateful to her rescuer, showing her thanks in her very funny and charming ways! She has a wonderful playful side and loves nothing more than plenty of attention! She loves to be talked to during cuddles and sometimes even mouths peoples hands in an affectionate way, so that they give her more tummy rubs! Clara forms very special bonds with people that she knows, but it may take her a little time to warm up to new people. Her new adopters will need to be patient and calm when introducing themselves and Clara to other people, but as long as you take it at her pace she soon relaxes and is keen to soak up lots of fuss.
With her a big loyal heart, Clara is a protective and nurturing soul and this can sometimes manifest as resource guarding. She can sometimes feel defensive over her foster carer, making sure that most of the cuddles are reserved for her! She is becoming to understand that the other dogs need attention too, but prospective adopters will need to feel confident working with Clara in these situations and help positively remind her that she doesn’t have to worry about sharing.
Clara loves riding in the car to new places! She would definitely enjoy jumping in the car and exploring lots of exciting walks with her humans. She has a very playful and energetic side which could manifest into destructive behaviour if she hasn’t let off all her steam! We also think Clara would prefer adopters who are mostly orientated at home, to give her all of the love that she so craves. Please bear in mind that Clara could suffer from separation anxiety if left too long and any adopters will need to be dedicated to helping her overcome this.
Clara does get along with other dogs, but takes a little time to warm up to them on initial meetings. She never shows any aggression, but she needs gentle encouragement to feel comfortable. Once she has started to feel at ease, her playful side is sure to emerge and she will happily make some new four legged friends – although unfortunately the same can’t be said for her friendship with cats! With this in mind, we won’t be considering homes with any resident cats and we also think she is better suited to a home where she is the only dog.
We will not be considering homes with young children or toddlers but families with older and dog savvy children may be considered on a case by case basis.
Clara is a very special soul with an abundance of love to give. We have no doubt that with a little bit of patience and a lot of her favourite cheesy snacks on offer, Clara will soon settle with adopters who have a heart just as big as hers!
Clara came into shelter care with a few scars on her muzzle and legs. We do not know why or how she got them, but they do not cause her any further issues or discomfort.
Please note, that due to on-going travel restrictions and transport logistics, we currently do not have a transport date in place for dogs travelling from Lesvos. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Clara as soon as possible!

The sweetest soul
Gemma was found in a remote area of Lesvos having recently given birth to her 7 puppies. To keep them safe, she had dug underneath a rock and it was here that the family were discovered by a soldier, who notified our partner shelter to come to their rescue. The family have since been in foster care, but now Gemma is ready to relinquish her mothering duties and find a forever home where she is able to relax.
Gemma was understandably very nervous when the volunteers came to rescue her and given that she had only just given birth, she was also incredibly skinny and very exhausted. She was initially protective over her babies and she did need sedation to be brought to safety. Once in the foster home and given time to recover from the birth, Gemma learned to trust the humans that helped save her family. With a gentle approach, Gemma is learning more about love every day and when given the time she needs, naturally Gemma is a very sweet and kind girl. Gemma has been an incredible mum to her pups, but now it is her time to be cared for and feel the love that she is so capable of sharing in return.
Gemma has a selfless heart and does not ask for anything. Not realising that she is just as deserving of love and attention as her puppies, she often sits back and lets them steal all of the affection! It is likely that Gemma has never known what it means to be part of a family so Gemma’s adopters will need to give her lots of time and patience once she is in her new home. Initially a new environment could be overwhelming for her and she will likely need to gradually build her confidence to new situations, adopters will need to offer lots of gentle guidance to help her blossom. Once she realises how wonderful a loving home can be, Gemma is bound to release her very loyal side and will flourish with her favourite humans by her side.
To give Gemma the best start possible, we will only be considering homes in rural areas. She can be afraid of loud noises and she is most deserving of a home where she can enjoy her walks in plenty of peace and quiet. Gemma is also very food orientated and this will come in handy when helping her adjust to new environments. We are sure that given a calm approach and patience to go at her own pace, Gemma will enjoy exploring her new walking spots. Gemma is calm and kind when she is around other dogs, so she could also suit a home with a resident confident dog who can help guide the way.
Due to her timid nature, we will not be considering homes with young children but homes with older, calm & dog savvy children could be considered on a case by case basis. Gemma has also been tested with cats, so we can consider homes with dog savvy resident cats on a case by case basis.
We are sure that as soon as Gemma is settled and given a safe home to call her own, she will finally relax and charm her adopters with how special she truly is.
Please note, that due to on-going travel restrictions and transport logistics, we currently do not have a transport date in place for dogs travelling from Lesvos. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Gemma as soon as possible!

Little fire cracker!
Amber and her siblings were found with their mum, Gemma in a remote area of Lesvos. Gemma had dug underneath a rock to keep her pups safe and it was here that they were discovered by a soldier, who notified our partner shelter to come to their rescue. The family have since been in foster care, where they have been learning, playing and growing more each day! Finally, Amber and her family are ready to fly the nest and find their forever homes in the UK.
Amber is a crafty girl, who knows what she wants and is always up to some sort of tricks! She is very clever and may need to learn a few boundaries once in her new home but as she is such a bright spark, we are sure she will enjoy bonding with her adopters during lots of stimulating games and learning those all important puppy manners. If she isn’t making people laugh with her crafty ways, Amber is cuddling up to her foster carer enjoying a big fuss!
Amber has a lot of energy and loves playing with her siblings as well as other dogs. She could be suited to a home with a resident dog, but wouldn’t mind a home all to herself either – just as long as her family are as full of beans as she is! Amber has been tested with children so could also suit a home with children who are calm and sensible around young dogs. After a long day of keeping busy and bounding around in the big outdoors, there is no place Amber would rather be other than cuddled up next to her very lucky family.
Amber has also been tested with cats, so we can consider homes with dog savvy resident cats on a case by case basis.

Quiet and content
Jade and his siblings were found with their mum, Gemma in a remote area of Lesvos. Gemma had dug underneath a rock to keep her pups safe and it was here that they were discovered by a soldier, who notified our partner shelter to come to their rescue. The family have since been in foster care, where they have been learning, playing and growing more each day! Finally, Jade and his family are ready to fly the nest and find their forever homes in the UK.
Jade is a very sweet natured pup and despite being the largest of the litter, he is incredibly gentle and never takes advantage of his size. He is quite happy to let his siblings get up to all the mischief, whilst he has a break from the fun with his favourite chew toys. Jade is a very loving boy and although he is content exploring on his own, we know he will adore having some one to one time with a family who will offer him plenty of fuss.
Although Jade is relaxed by nature, he does also have a curious side and once he is settled, we are sure he will enjoy some exciting walks where there are lots of engaging smells to discover! Once he is back home, he will have no problem finding a cosy spot to chill out and snooze the afternoon away. Jade will benefit from a few puppy training sessions once in his new home but given that he is happy to please, this is bound to be a brilliant bonding opportunity. Jade also gets along well with other dogs so we could consider homes with a friendly resident dog.
Jade has had some interaction with children and could be suited to a family home with children that are calm and sensible around young dogs. Jade has also been tested with cats, so we can consider homes with dog savvy resident cats on a case by case basis.

Time to explore!
Onyx and his siblings were found with their mum, Gemma in a remote area of Lesvos. Gemma had dug underneath a rock to keep her pups safe and it was here that they were discovered by a soldier, who notified our partner shelter to come to their rescue. The family have since been in foster care, where they have been learning, playing and growing more each day! Finally, Onyx and his family are ready to fly the nest and find their forever homes in the UK.
Onyx is an easy going pup who has an independent side. He will often take himself away from his siblings to find a quiet spot to relax or to go off on his own adventures! Although, he still has plenty of time for a big cuddle and fuss from his favourite humans! Onyx will benefit from an active home so that he can enjoy all of his expeditions with an energetic family who are eager keep up with him! Onyx was born without a tail but this does not cause him any issues, he is still a happy boy who just looks a little more unique!
Onyx is also very playful and gets along well with other dogs that he has met. He has had socialisation with children and it is likely that he will love an extra playmate, so families with children who are sensible around dogs can be considered. Onyx is a smart boy and is showing excellent promise when picking up his puppy manners. Some extra lessons in his new home will be a perfect way to bond with all the family and help him get used to his new environment. The best way to round off Onyx’s busy day will be with a big cuddle and his favourite chew toy!
Onyx has also been tested with cats, so we can consider homes with dog savvy resident cats on a case by case basis.
Please note, that due to on-going travel restrictions and transport logistics, we currently do not have a transport date in place for dogs travelling from Lesvos. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Onyx as soon as possible!

Let's go play!
Jett and his siblings were found with their mum, Gemma in a remote area of Lesvos. Gemma had dug underneath a rock to keep her pups safe and it was here that they were discovered by a soldier, who notified our partner shelter to come to their rescue. The family have since been in foster care, where they have been learning, playing and growing more each day! Finally, Jett and his family are ready to fly the nest and find their forever homes in the UK.
Jett is a happy go lucky pup who is all about games and fun! Whilst he does enjoy a cuddle, he would much prefer to zoom around with his siblings and make them jump when playing hide and seek! He is an active boy so will need adopters who can offer him a few exciting walks and dedicated training sessions each day. Jett was born with a shorter tail than some of his siblings, but it does not cause him any issues as he is still as happy as can be!
Jett is a funny character and often makes people laugh with his cheeky ways. Another of his favourite games is jumping higher than his siblings in search of a few tasty treats – these will be a handy tool when teaching him some boundaries in his new home! Jett has had socialisation with other dogs and is confident around them. He could be adopted to a family with children as long as they are calm and sensible around a young pup.
Jett has also been tested with cats, so we can consider homes with dog savvy resident cats on a case by case basis.

Very good boy
Jasper and his siblings were found with their mum, Gemma in a remote area of Lesvos. Gemma had dug underneath a rock to keep her pups safe and it was here that they were discovered by a soldier, who notified our partner shelter to come to their rescue. The family have since been in foster care, where they have been learning, playing and growing more each day! Finally, Jasper and his family are ready to fly the nest and find their forever homes in the UK.
Jasper is a gentle natured pup and is enjoying learning about the world around him. Whilst his siblings are usually zooming around creating mischief, Jasper often takes himself away from the chaos and happily explores on his own. He is affectionate at heart and despite his independent side, he always has a beady eye open for a cuddle with his favourite humans!
Although he is a little more reserved around his siblings, Jasper gets along with other dogs just fine. He will need a family who are dedicated to some puppy training sessions and helping him learn all about his new home, but with lots of positive encouragement we think he will bravely take it all in his stride. He could suit a home with children, as long as they are calm and sensible around young dogs.
Jasper has also been tested with cats, so we can consider homes with dog savvy resident cats on a case by case basis.

Cute cuddle queen
Ruby and her siblings were found with their mum, Gemma in a remote area of Lesvos. Gemma had dug underneath a rock to keep her pups safe and it was here that they were discovered by a soldier, who notified our partner shelter to come to their rescue. The family have since been in foster care, where they have been learning, playing and growing more each day! Finally, Ruby and her family are ready to fly the nest and find their forever homes in the UK.
Ruby loves tumbling around with her siblings and although she has plenty of energy for running and jumping, she also has an eye for spotting a comfy lap for a break from the fun. Ruby takes the role of the calmest pup and she absolutely loves her cuddles. She is sure to enjoy a big fuss before charging up her energy for the next playtime! Ruby and her siblings were born with different size tails and although she does not have one at all, it does not cause her any issues and makes her all the more unique!
We think Ruby will relish bonding with her new family. She is a smart girl who is very motivated to please her humans and we are sure that she will enjoy gobbling up some yummy treats during those all important training sessions. She has also had positive socialisation with other dogs so could be suited to a home with or without a doggy sibling. Ruby has also had interaction with children, so we could consider families with children that are sensible around young dogs.
Ruby has also been tested with cats so we will be considering homes with dog savvy resident cats on a case by case basis.

More cuddles please!
Introducing the wonderful Carmen. Carmen was born to a dog who lived on a farmers land and is now in a foster home awaiting her chance to find her very own happily ever after!
Carmen is a sweet girl with a big personality! She is always seeking a bit of extra attention from her humans and where there are cuddles to be had, Carmen will often be first in line or most likely skipping the queue! She loves her foster siblings and is often the centre of the daily fun, but she can be a little dominant and doesn’t mind letting them know when they are in her way, so she may need to learn a few more manners in this area! With this in mind, we think Carmen would prefer to be the only dog in her new home, just to make sure she can soak up all the attention to herself.
Carmen is full of beans and bounds into new adventures with confidence. She may need some time to adjust to her new home but her love of food is sure to be a handy tool when helping her to feel settled. We think she would adore a family who have as much energy as she does! She happily jumps in the car and loves discovering somewhere new to let off all her steam. But don’t be fooled, as she may have just enough energy left to play with her beloved toys before snoozing the day away!
Carmen is bound to make a wonderful companion to a very lucky family. She has had socialisation with children, so familes with calm, sensible children could be considered – we are sure she wouldn’t mind a few extra playmates to join in on the fun!
A home with cats could also be considered, as long as they are dog savvy and willing to be tolerant of a playful pup.

Happy little lady
Olivia and her brother Sesame were found together in a very remote area and were initially frightened of being approached. The pair were eventually rescued and taken to safety, thankfully escaping the harsh realities that life on the streets can entail. Olivia and her brother are now living together in a foster home in Lesvos, where they are both patiently awaiting to start a new chapter and find their happily ever after in the UK.
Olivia is a laid back girl and is always impressing her foster family with her intelligence, charm and sweet nature. She adapts well to her surroundings and happily makes friends with lots of other dogs. Olivia and her brother Sesame have made a special bond with their best friend Steven! We are sure she would be happy in a home with a doggy sibling by her side, so we will definitely be considering homes with a resident dog.
Olivia is already walking well on her harness, although she tends to prefer a gentle stroll rather than a mighty adventure – after all she only has little legs! Like her brother, one thing Olivia absolutely adores is her treats! With lots of tasty snacks in hand and along with her natural eagerness to please, teaching Olivia some doggy manners is sure to be a fun bonding task. After a fun filled day of impressing her adopters by learning lots of new tricks, there is nowhere Olivia would rather be than snuggled up on the sofa next to her humans – a scratch and stroke along her back is the way to Olivia’s heart!
Olivia is getting used to making new friends and does get along fine with children, however she can be a little unsure of loud noises and raised voices. With this in mind, we will only be considering homes with older children that are dog savvy and can appreciate Olivia’s uncertainty in this scenario. We will also only be considering homes in non-urban environments, where she doesn’t have to worry about any triggering sounds. One thing that is for certain, is the amount of love this little lady is bound to bring into her very lucky new home!
Olivia has not been tested with cats so we will be watching how her personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.

Happy go lucky!
Sesame and his sister, Olivia were found together in a very remote area and were initially frightened of being approached. The pair were eventually rescued and taken to safety, thankfully escaping the harsh realities that life on the streets can entail. Sesame and his sister are now living together in a foster home in Lesvos. They are both patiently awaiting to start a new chapter and find their forever home in the UK.
Sesame is a little delight to all who he meets and is a very playful pup! He has brought plenty of joy to his foster home and is often bouncing around with his foster mates including his sister and their best friend Steven. Not just a best pal to his four legged friends, Sesame is also very keen to please his foster carers for a big fuss and cuddle in return! As Sesame is brilliant at making friends with humans and dogs alike, he could be suited to a home with a resident dog, but we are sure he won’t mind all the sofa space to himself either!
Between Sesame and his sister Olivia, he is definitely the most energetic of the pair, and he would love adopters who are as full of beans as he is! He is no stranger to jumping in the car in search of the next adventure, where he can explore to his hearts content and discover lots of exciting smells! He also loves to run and has been enjoying bounding around in the snow! Sesame adores his treats, which will certainly come in handy during some training and when getting him used to his new home. As long as there is a snack in hand and tummy rub for good work, we think this smart chap will be brilliant at picking up a few fancy party tricks too!
Sesame can be a little unsure of loud voices and sudden noises so we would prefer to place him in a non-urban environment. Whilst he is good with children, we will only be considering families with older dog savvy children who can be considerate to his sensitivity in this area. We have no doubt this sweet little boy will be a wonderful companion to a very special home!
Sesame has not been tested with cats so we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.

Learning to blossom
Jasmine is one sixth of a gorgeous litter of girls, who are now proudly known as the “flower pups,” after being named over on our Instagram account. The sisters were born near an apartment block and were looked after by their street mum, before being rescued by our partner shelter at just 6 weeks old. Since then, they have been anticipating the time when they would be ready to fly the nest and each find their happily ever after.
Jasmine is a gentle girl and like her siblings, can be a little timid when she is in new situations. With plenty of calm reassurance she starts to feels more comfortable, and of course with the help of lots of tasty treats! Jasmine is quite happy taking life at her own pace and is most often found cosied up in her beloved bed! We would like to find Jasmine a home in a nice quiet area, where she can enjoy those afternoon naps in plenty of peace.
Jasmine loves playing with all of the other dogs at the shelter and enjoys joining in on the pack walks. She will have lots of learning to do in her new home, so she could really benefit from a home with a resident, confident dog to buddy up with and bring out her playful side!
Jasmine is currently working on some basic puppy manners at the shelter, but this will need to be continued in her new home. She was a little unsure of her lead at first, but luckily her love of food is an excellent tool and should make those all important training sessions a fun bonding task! Jasmine is a bright little spark, and we can’t wait to how she continues to shine in her new home!
Please note, Jasmine will not be available to travel until around March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Jasmine as soon as possible!

Snoozing sun worshiper
Meet gentle natured Mochi, who originally found as a street pup & was the runt of her litter. Her foster carers took her in & nursed her back to health & she’s been lucky enough to be staying with them ever since. Sadly they are moving & cannot take Mochi with them, so our partner shelter in Thailand have reached out to us to help Mochi begin her new life & we can’t wait to get her settled into a wonderful home.
Mochi is a loving, quiet girl. She enjoys nothing more than lounging in the sun or curling up in one of her favourite napping spots, snoozing the day away. She is quite an independent dog & is happy to be left to do her own thing. Although she is quiet in nature, she does love playing & when really happy becomes a silly, goofy dog, however this does need be on her own terms.
Mochi has spent most of her life in a home & has picked up a few party tricks already. She is very smart & loves to learn, especially when there’s some tasty treats involved. She knows how to sit, stay, law down, paw, hug, speak & will even eat on command. As well as this, Mochi walks very well on the lead, and looks forward to her walkies everyday, getting very excited when she sees the lead. It’s important to note that whilst she is clearly a very clever girly with a few tricks under her paws, the long journey over to the UK can set dogs back, so it’s best to assume you are starting from scratch when she arrives.
When you first this meet this gorgeous girl, she can be a little shy & unsure, and she just needs some time & reassurance. She tends to keep to herself at first but will come over to new people for a sniff when she feels ready. If she feels her space has been invaded she will take herself off to a safe area until she feels more confident. Once a bond has been formed Mochi loves a good back scratch and will rub herself on you to let you know she’s ready for her doggy massage. Due to Mochi’s more nervous nature around new people, we are looking for adopters who are willing to give Mochi the time she needs to build her confidence & understands she needs her own space when she’s feeling unsure. She is very sensitive to loud noises and for this reason we will only be considering adult only homes in at least a semi-rural setting.
Mochi has lived in a home with other dogs her whole life, and tends to get on well with older calm dogs, but does have more of an intolerance to younger dogs. However, normally if there have been any quarrels, Mochi tends to be the submissive one and would only ever retaliate in defence. Out on walks she is curious of other dogs but tends to be a lot more interested in sniffing her surroundings. If a dog approaches her at speed, she can become distressed & will try and back away & hide, but she is never the aggressor. She can guard food & treats when other dogs are around, however has never displayed this behaviour towards people. As a result we believe Mochi would be happy being the only dog in the home, however would consider homes with calm, older dogs.
Mochi has a mild skin allergy which causes her to become itchy, however, it is very easily controlled by sticking to a diet involving no food colourings and only natural ingredients. She is currently being fed on Purina Super coat dog food, with no recent issues.
Mochi is a sweet natured soul who wants nothing more than a sunny spot in a garden or a cosy spot by a fire where she can feel safe & secure. With a lot of love & understanding we are certain she’s is going to make a wonderful companion, and we can’t wait to find her the perfect home.
Please note, Mochi won’t be travelling until February. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Mochi as soon as possible!

Time to explore
Meet sweet Lady, who was rescued from one of our partner shelters spay and neuter clinics, along with her siblings after their mother needed an emergency cesarean. They were all taken into the shelter who have been caring for them ever since. They are now old enough to spread their wings and take their freedom flight here to the UK.
Lady is a happy go lucky dog who takes shelter life in her stride. She is super inquisitive, and loves to explore new places, & meet new dogs! She makes friends with dogs very easily and enjoys some rough and tumble play with her siblings and other smaller dogs in the shelter. As such, we think Lady would love a doggy sibling to share her home with, so we will definitely be considering homes with other dogs.
Whilst Lady has bundles of energy, she loves a good cuddle and long snooze after the excitement of playing and exploring. She is friends with everyone she’s met at the shelter and has mixed well with children, so we will consider homes with sensible, calm children.
Similar to her siblings Lady loves her food, which will come in handy when training her. Whilst she’s had some basic training at the shelter, prospective adopters will need to continue with this once she arrives in the UK, ensuring she is taught some good doggy manners.
Our partner shelter in Thailand is situated in a very remote area, surrounded by lush green forest, so the dogs are very used to having plenty of space to roam. As such we are only considering at least semi-rural homes for Cookie.
Lady is full of character, and desperate to get involved in whatever she can. She is going to make a wonderful companion and we can’t wait to find her a forever home.
Please note, Lady will be available travel at the end February. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Lady as soon as possible!

Time to Nap
Meet lovely Cookie, who was rescued from one of our partner shelters spay and neuter clinics, along with her siblings, after their mother needed an emergency cesarean. They were all taken into the shelter who have been caring for them ever since. They are now old enough to spread their wings and take their freedom flight here to the UK.
Cookie is a sweet natured girl who likes to take life easy. Whilst she does enjoy playing with her siblings in small doses, more often than not you can find her snoozing her days away in a quiet, shaded spot. She’s a cuddly girl, who we are sure will be desperate to get snuggled up after a nice walk. She’s been introduced to children at the shelter and mixed well, so we will consider homes with sensible, calm children.
Cookie loves her food, so much that she can be a little protective of it around her siblings, so we are therefore looking for a home without another dog to avoid any confrontation here. She has never shown any guarding around humans before and is more than happy to take treats from your hand – this will come in handy when training her up!
Whilst Cookie enjoys a cuddle, she is very sensitive around the base of her spine, where she had a painful in-grown hair which had to be surgically removed. It’s all healed up but she would rather stick to belly rubs than bottom scratches for now!

Handsome cheeky chap
Meet handsome Woody, who was rescued from one of our partner shelters spay and neuter clinics, along with his siblings, after their mother needed an emergency cesarean. They were all taken into the shelter who have been caring for them ever since. They are now old enough to spread their wings and take their freedom flight here to the UK.
Woody is tonnes of fun & has a cheeky side. He’s the biggest of the litter and he certainly knows it, with a tendency to play a little more rough than the others. He can get carried away but will listen when told to stop. With larger male dogs his play turns a little too boisterous at times, so we a looking for adopters who are prepared to do some further training with him and teach him some better doggy manners! Whilst Woody loves to play with other dogs, we think he would be best suited as the only dog in the home, but with lots of playmates he can socialise with outside.
Around people, Woody is a gentle giant at heart and has even been socialised with children and mixes well. Due to his bouncy nature, we will be considering homes with older dog savvy children. Woody is very foody, which is a great tool when teaching him some new tricks! He has begun to walk on a lead but he’s not the biggest fan, so careful training will be needed once he has settled into his new home. We are sure with lots of positive reinforcement he’ll soon get the hang of it and know that the lead means walkies!
Our partner shelter in Thailand is situated in a very remote area, surrounded by lush green forest, so the dogs are very used to having plenty of space to roam. As such we are only considering at least semi-rural homes for Woody.
We are looking for a home that is prepared to do lots of training when Woody arrives to set some boundaries for this bouncy boy. We are certain that with some time and patience he will settle into home life & make a wonderful companion.
Please note, Woody will be available travel at the end February. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Woody as soon as possible!

Special and sweet
Meet the very sweet Tony, who was found by a local lady whilst he was wandering the streets with an injured leg. Tony was taken in by his rescuer and his injured leg was unavoidably removed, but this has not hindered him in any way and he has adapted incredibly well to life on 3 legs! Tony is now ready to bound into a new life and we can’t wait to find this special boy his forever home.
Tony is a shining example of a dog who has not let his past define him and he happily takes to life with a big smile on his face. Having three legs does not cause Tony any issues and he contently enjoys walking, running and playing just as much as his four legged friends! Tony is friendly when meeting new people and has an eagerness to please, which will be an excellent tool when bonding with a family who will spoil him rotten with cuddles and fuss!
We are hoping to find Tony a home in a quiet area where he can relax and enjoy an afternoon snooze in plenty of peace. It is likely he may take a little time to adjust to a new environment, but with adopters who are as patient and as kind as him, we are sure it won’t be long until he feels confident exploring his new home. Tony is a smart boy and will benefit from some one to one training sessions, there is no doubt that with some tasty treats on offer he will be quick to learn some more doggy manners.
Tony gets along well with other dogs that he has met and is enjoying playing with his puppy friends, Robin & Rosie, who will soon be leaving for their new homes. Tony was previously living in the yard of his rescuer with other dogs but is now living at the shelter whilst we endeavour to find his perfect home. Tony gets along very well with other dogs and enjoys playing so he could be suited to a home with a resident friendly dog or, equally, he could be happy to have all the attention to himself. It is clear to see that Tony has a very sweet nature and is keen to make friends with almost everyone he meets but, unfortunately, the same cannot be said for his relationship with cats! Due to this, homes with cats will not be considered.
Whilst living with his rescuer, Tony had some limited socialisation with her grandchildren and enjoyed playing with them. Tony could be suited to a home with understanding & calm children but we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Tony is a special soul who is sure to make a wonderful companion to a family who are just as full of life as he is and we can’t wait to see how he flourishes in his new home.
Please note, Tony can’t travel until at least April. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Tony as soon as possible!

A quick learner
Meet gorgeous Maybelle who arrived in the UK from Greece recently. Maybelle was brought along to our partner shelter at around 1 week old with her mother and siblings Kenny, Emmylou and Loretta. Unfortunately her adopter has come to the difficult decision that Maybelle needs a different home in order to thrive, & as such we are now hoping to find Maybelle just that! She is currently in foster care around West Kent/East Sussex area.
Maybelle enjoys nothing more than some 1-2-1 attention and a good game of tug! She is incredibly playful and will chase around playing and throwing her toys around for hours, see the video below. She particularly loves a squeaker (and removing them from the toy!)
Maybelle is a large puppy, already weighing around 15kg at 5 months old and can be boisterous. She is currently teething and learning that she can’t mouth people and is picking this up very quickly. With some direction she will quickly redirect her mouthing to a toy, chew or frozen kong to help sooth her gums. As Maybelle is going to be a large dog (estimated be grow to around 25-30kg when fully grown) we are looking for adopters who already have experience with large dogs and are prepared to be firm in their rules & help set appropriate boundaries for Maybelle as she is learning.
Maybelle is crate trained and happily snoozes away in her crate after a walk, play or training session. She also sleeps in her crate overnight without stirring. She is also house trained but we would expect that this will likely regress a little once she moves onto a new home, until she gets the hang of where to go & how to ask to go outside.
Maybelle is currently living in a foster home with two other dogs and, whilst they mostly live amicably and enjoy chasing around together when out on walks, Maybelle can become jealous & also annoy the resident dogs with her want for puppy play & big puppy paws hitting them in the face! Therefore, she would be best placed in a home as the only dog where she can revel in all the attention.
Maybelle is extremely loyal to her favourite people, very intelligent & loves a good training session to put her mind to good use! She is very food motivated and will happily learn new tricks for treats! She has already (mostly) learned to sit instead of jumping up for attention, she will lay down and has begun to associate her name with good treats and will come when called. She has also learned the ‘watch’ command that will be useful when up against all manner of scary situations.
Whilst Maybelle is very friendly with her foster carers, she can become reactive to strangers, strange dogs & noises and will need ample training to help her overcome these anxieties. Maybelle has a big bark for a small puppy, but she is a big softie deep down. She just needs to learn that strangers & their dogs are not to be feared. Maybelle has nicely greeted a few people & dogs whilst out and about for walks but she also becomes frustrated when she can’t say hello and reacts by barking at them. She will need training to ignore other distractions and focus on her adopter instead. For this reason, we will only be considering people that have experience with reactivity, handling large breed dogs & are prepared for the training Maybelle will require.
Maybelle can resource guard her favourite toys/high value treats but with some guidance and learning to drop & swap toys, she is becoming better with this. However, continued training will be needed in this area.
Maybelle has not been tested with cats or children and, due to her boisterous & playful nature, we will only be considering homes without both of these.
Maybelle is looking for someone who understands her needs & will give her time to build up her confidence & relinquish her anxieties of this big, bad world.
Maybelle originally came from Greece but is now living in West Kent/East Sussex area – visits can be arranged for serious adopters. Please note, the UK adoption fee will apply.

Her future's bright
Nina was rescued in Lebanon but is now living in the London area – visits can be arranged for serious adopters. Please note that the UK adoption fee will apply.
Nina was hit by a car when she was just a small puppy and simply left at the side the road. It wasn’t until months later, when she was discovered by local animal shelters and taken to the vet, that they learned she’d been paralysed from the waist down; she would have been surviving by dragging her back legs behind her to move, and was covered in cuts and sores from the effort. Once she had been x-rayed and given a health check, her rescuers brought her to our partner shelter in Lebanon where she was able to recover in a safe, ethical and loving environment.
Nina’s luck changed forever when she was rescued, but it’s not been smooth sailing for her – after months of testing, and Nina’s paperwork being finalised for her big journey to the UK, civil unrest hit Beirut followed by the Covid outbreak earlier this year. Nina’s journey hasn’t been easy; rescue from Lebanon is complex, costing upwards of £1,500 as well as months of necessary vet checks and processes to follow. The unrest in Beirut has caused all kinds of logistical issues and delayed paperwork which, for Nina, has meant one heartbreaking setback after another. That’s why we made the decision to fly her over and have her pre-adoption tests and treatments completed from the safety and comfort of a boarding facility here in the UK. Seeing her happy little face arrive at Heathrow, we know we made the right choice and we’re so pleased to have honoured our commitment to her, all thanks to the WAHF community; it’s your generosity that has made this journey possible. Despite everything, Nina is finally here in the UK and we’re determined to find her the perfect home so that forever can be ready and waiting for her.
Through it all, this little warrior has remained as cheeky and as full of life as ever! She gets on well with other dogs, is trusting and loving around people of all ages, and has a heart of gold. Nina means both “little girl” and “mighty warrior”, and we can’t think of a more apt title!
Despite only having two fully working legs, Nina will mow you down in her wheelchair if you don’t move out of the way! She’s full of character, exuberance and mostly prefers to be rolling around getting into mischief and playing. The way to get Nina to relax or sit still is by stroking her – she’ll lay with you for hours on end if you tickle her tummy. She gets very attached to people, very quickly and could develop some separation anxiety if separation training isn’t started immediately after adoption.
Nina is a high energy dog and would love to go to a home with another high energy, friendly and playful dog. She could happily go out with dog walkers or to daycare as she loves other dogs and is very confident already! However, Nina will need to learn manners & how to play with other dogs properly as she can wind up dogs that aren’t quite as playful and full of life.
Nina is happy-go-lucky and will try anything you throw at her, she’s even tried her paw at swimming (you can see a video of this in the first post we shared about her on our Instagram!)
Due to Nina’s spinal fracture that was never properly corrected, she lost most of the function in her rear legs. Although she has got some feeling & movement, at the moment there is no expectation of recovery or controlled movement in her hind limbs. Her rear limbs no longer bend at the hock but she has some movement in her knees and hips making wheelchair use easy. Her injuries mean that she’ll need dedicated care to help her lead a happy, comfortable life. We have sourced her a more permanent wheelchair for when in movement and a drag bag for when the wheels come off & around the home. Both will ensure that she can go for walks, and run and play with other dogs without being hampered, but her adopter will need to be able to accommodate for her disability.
Nina has some bladder control, but is also prone to accidents due to her paralysis. Whilst in boarding, she is now almost fully potty trained but she does have some accidents in the evening still. New owners may consider the use of nappy’s for the evening time. Due to her bladder issues, extra care should be taken for the skin on her rear legs to prevent urine burns as well as scuffs. Our amazing team member Kasey has a great deal of experience with helping dogs with these types of disability settle into home life and will be on hand to support the transition and provide advice and tips.
Please note, Wild at Heart Foundation are committed to covering the cost of any treatment required for her long-term wellbeing as advised by our specialist vet team – however, based on early assessments, we understand that Nina is healthy and happy despite her disability and it’s unlikely that she’ll need extensive ongoing treatment or surgery.
This girl is a special soul, and as such will need an extra special home to give her the happy ending she deserves after her traumatic start to life. If you think you can give her the love and care she deserves, we’re looking forward to hearing from you!

Full of fun!
Dali was rescued at 5 weeks old along with his sister, Rosa. Their mother was neutered by our partner shelter and returned to her owners who said they no longer wanted the family. The were then taken in to the shelter, and now Dali has the chance to find a loving forever home, where he is very much wanted.
Dali is a very lively lad and always has plenty of energy! He loves to play and has a few favourite toys, particularly his beloved chew sticks. Dali is very happy when he is around people and is quite confident when meeting someone new – as long as they are willing to give him a big fuss and cuddle!
Alongside playtime, Dali also likes to burn off his energy by tumbling around with the other dogs and zooming around on the pack walks. He can sometimes get a little boisterous with the other dogs, so it will be important that his new adopters feel confident setting some clear boundaries when he gets over excited. He does also need some positive reassurance when meeting dogs he is not yet friends with. A little guidance from his adopters will help him overcome this, and we are sure he will relish a structured routine and enjoy bonding with his humans during regular one to one training sessions.
It’ll be important that Dali has lots of opportunities to burn off his energy through out the day, as such Dali would suit an active home, where he can take advantage of regular walks and plenty of exciting adventures – we are sure he will be keen to lead the way! There is no doubt Dali will light up his new home with plenty of joy and with time to adapt, he is bound to relish all of the comforts a loving home can offer.
Dali has not been tested with cats or children, we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
On arrival at the shelter, Dali tested positive for Giardia which has since been treated and he is now cleared of the infection.
Please note, Dali won’t be travelling until at least the end of March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Dali as soon as possible!

Raring to go!
Rosa was rescued at 5 weeks old along with her brother, Dali. Their mother was neutered by our partner shelter and returned to her owners, who said they no longer wanted the family. The were then taken in to the shelter, and now Rosa has the chance to find a loving forever home, where she is very much wanted.
Rosa is a brilliant girl who is all about the fun! She has been handled from a young age so is fairly confident when meeting new people and as long as you have as much energy as Rosa, you are sure to be her new best friend! She is a feisty girl and is most happy when she has something to do, or somewhere to be. She will need adopters who are willing to dedicate time and feel confident working with Rosa during some one to one training sessions. As she is such an intelligent girl, working with Rosa is bound to be a fun bonding task and she will really benefit from the extra stimulation.
Rosa will definitely need adopters who are active and keen to have a four legged friend by their side on all of their adventures! She could happily play all day and loves nothing more than a long walk. It’ll be important that her adopters have as much get up and go as she does, and can also offer a structured routine with lots of positive activities to fill her day! With just the right amount of exercise to keep her busy, Rosa will be keen to snuggle down and enjoy a tummy rub or two to round off the day.
Rosa loves going on the pack walks at the shelter, as this is where she thrives and lets off all her steam. She is generally very confident around the other dogs but at first, she can be unsure and is sometimes a little reactive. She will need calm introductions and some positive guidance when meeting new dogs and adopters will need to incorporate this into her training. Once she feels comfortable, Rosa is very playful and sometimes gets told off by other dogs who aren’t keen on her rough and tumble! With this in mind, she is best suited as the only dog in her new home or somewhere with a tolerant resident dog.
Rosa has not been tested with children, we will be watching how her personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
On arrival at the shelter, Rosa tested positive for Giardia which has since been treated and she is now cleared of the infection.
Please note, Rosa won’t be travelling until at least the end of March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Rosa as soon as possible!

A cheeky chappy
Nemo was discovered wondering the streets in the local town nearby to our partner shelter. It was almost as if he was asking to be rescued when he bravely ran straight over to the volunteers, allowing them to put him on the lead and take him to the safety of the shelter.
Nemo is a confident boy who absolutely loves people and is always first in line to introduce himself! His friendly nature led him to being rescued and it was clear he was willing to trust from the beginning. Nemo may need time to re-adjust to a new environment but once he is feeling settled, we are sure he will have no trouble soaking up all of the attention and fuss that he so craves!
Nemo generally gets along well with the other dogs at the shelter, but he can be a little cheeky at times! He is sometimes a little grumpy towards the other males, and can show his jealousy with a little growl if he thinks the other dogs are getting more attention than him! He is not afraid to barge to the front of the cuddle queue and although this is never aggressive, he will need to learn a few more manners when socialising. It is best he is either the only dog in his new home or somewhere with an easy going female dog.
Nemo is already learning to walk well on the lead and is a natural quick learner. He will really benefit from some one to one training with his new adopters and with plenty of treats for good measure, we think he will revel in the attention of showing off all of his new party tricks!
Nemo will suit an active family who have just as much passion for fun & adventure as he does! We would love to find Nemo a home nearby to lots of exciting walks, where he can burn off his energy and bound along without a care in the world! We are sure Nemo is going to make a brilliant companion and we can’t wait to find him the perfect home, where he can continue spread his never ending joy!
Nemo has not been tested with cats or children so we will be considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Nemo won’t be ready to travel to the UK until at least the end of March.

Special and sweet
Laika was found in August and was recently in a foster home before being taken in by our partner shelter. It is believed she had recently given birth to a litter of puppies and was then dumped by her previous owners. Laika is now one step closer to beginning her new life in a very special forever home.
Laika is a delightful girl who has slotted in well to shelter life and is a little pleasure to have around, often charming volunteers with her happy and loving nature. When she first arrived, she was very over excited and clearly had a lot of energy, likely because she wasn’t getting the regular exercise that she needs. But, since going on the shelter’s pack walks and playing with the other dogs, she has calmed down and is often found relaxing in-between playtime. As she enjoys making friends with other dogs so much, we will definitely be considering homes with resident friendly dogs.
To help Laika burn off her energy, she will need active adopters who are keen for a couple of long walks each day and happy to play with Laika and her beloved toys whilst at home! After plenty of excitement and exploring, Laika will happily curl up next to you on the sofa or scope out the perfect sunny spot for an afternoon snooze.
Laika has already been taught some basic doggy manners in her previous foster home and at the shelter, but prospective adopters will need to be aware that a change of environment could mean starting from scratch, and training should be continued once in her new home. Luckily, Laika loves her treats and is a very intelligent girl, so this should be a fun way to keep her tummy happy as well as keeping her busy!
Laike has not been tested with children so we will considering homes on a case by case basis. It is possible she could suit a home with older children who are sensible around dogs.
Laika is a very special girl, and we have no doubt that she will bring a whole lot of joy to a family that love life just as much as she does!
Please note, Laika will not be able to travel until at least the end of March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Laika as soon as possible!

A shining star
The gorgeous Sweep had a very cruel start to her life. Before she was rescued, her owner had chained her up when she was only 40 days old, leaving her neglected and uncared for. Having known nothing but rejection and fear, she was understandably trying to protect herself when being rescued by the volunteers of our partner shelter. Now that Sweep is in a safe environment, her courage has outshone her past and she is more than deserving of a loving family to call her own.
Despite being incredibly nervous and not quite ready to trust humans upon her arrival at the shelter, Sweep bravely overcame this within a matter of days, showing immense gratitude and love for her rescuers. Every day Sweep has blossomed a little more and she is always eager to please the shelter volunteers – proving that despite her unfair past, she is still willing to trust and make friends with new people. There is no doubt that her infectious joy has lit up the shelter and we are sure she will bring the same to her lucky new adopters.
Sweep is a loyal girl and now that she understands what cuddles are, there is no going back for this affectionate soul! Having never known what love was, to being spoiled for affection at the shelter, at first Sweep was showing signs of separation anxiety. She has since been working on this and her fear of being left alone has greatly improved, but her adopters will need to be aware that the change of environment could initially make Sweep regress, and dedication to help her overcome this may need to be a priority. Once she starts to feel secure and begins to settle into her new routine, we are sure that Sweep will adore bonding with her new family.
We have no doubt that Sweep will bring a bountiful burst of energy to her new home, she loves her walks and is also incredibly intelligent. She would love to go on plenty of fun adventures with her adopters and is bound to be star student during her training sessions – maybe even picking up a few fancy party tricks too! Sweep would be happy playing with a doggy sibling in her new home or would be just as content relishing all of her adopters love and attention to herself!
Sweep has not been tested with cats or children, we will be watching how her personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Sweep is a shining example of the amazing work that our partner shelters do and what can happen when neglected dogs are given the time and patience they need to grow. By not giving up, Sweep has managed to overcome her past and finally deserves a very loving forever home of her own.
Please note, Sweep will not be able to travel until at least the end of March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Sweep as soon as possible!

Needs some nurturing
Button and his siblings were found in an abandoned house with their mother, not long after she had given birth. Thankfully the owner of our partner shelter in Romania took the family in to the warmth and helped nurture the very young pups. The siblings have been cared for at a foster home and are now eager to find their perfect forever homes in the UK.
Button is a sweet soul and is just finding his place in the big world. He is the most nervous out of his siblings and can be quite wary around new people. He tends to take a littler longer than his siblings to feel comfortable, but once you have him on side he begins to blossom and settles in for a big reassuring cuddle. Button will need experienced owners who will be confident when helping him to feel at ease in his new home and will be committed to giving him all the patience he requires. Button and his siblings were all born with different size tails. Button’s tail is slightly shorter but this doesn’t affect him at all, in fact it’s very cute and unique!
Button will settle best in a quiet, rural home as he can find loud noises very unsettling. We will be looking for homes in rural areas, where Button can relax at his own pace and doesn’t have to worry about any triggering or unsettling urban sounds. Button has had socialisation with children, but given his nature we will only be considering families with older, dog savvy children that are sensible around young dogs.
Button could also be suited to a home with a calm, friendly, older dog who can help guide the way and bring out his confidence. However, he will need slow and calm introductions to any resident & other dogs, as he can sometimes be a little wary if they are much bigger than him. Once Button has got used to his surroundings, we are sure he will release his fun, playful side! Lots of toys and treats are the way to his heart and he will really benefit from bonding with his adopters over some puppy training sessions. We have no doubt that Button will relish being spoiled and loved by a family who are dedicated to helping him shine!
Button has not been tested with cats so we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Button won’t be able to travel until at least mid March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Button as soon as possible!

The lazy one!
Bobbin and his siblings were found in an abandoned house with their mother, not long after she had given birth. Thankfully the owner of our partner shelter in Romania took the family in to the warmth and helped nurture the very young pups. The siblings have been cared for at a foster home and are now eager to find their perfect forever homes in the UK.
Bobbin is a relaxed pup, who is the most independent of the litter. He is happy to sit back and watch his siblings tumble around whilst he reserves all of his energy for a big snooze! Bobbin loves to snuggle up and fit in as many afternoon naps as he can but do not be fooled, he is a puppy and still has a lot of energy! We are sure he will keep you on your toes, wanting lots of game playing time too! Bobbin was born with a shorter tail than some of his siblings, but this only makes him all the more unique and does not effect him in any way.
Bobbin is currently in a foster home in a very rural part of Romania, so he is very used to having lots of peace and quiet. As such, we will only be considering homes in at least semi-rural areas for Bobbin. Prospective adopters will also need to be calm and patient when introducing Bobbin to all of the sights and sounds in his new home. With lots of positive encouragement and Bobbin’s healthy appetite for tasty treats, we are sure he will grow in confidence a little more each day.
Bobbin gets along fine with other dogs, but can be a little unsure & barks if they are a lot bigger than him so gentle introductions will be very important. He could be suited to a home with a resident friendly dog that can help show him the ropes. With a little bit of time, patience and a few treats for good measure, we are sure Bobbin will settle into his new home and scope out the best spots for a snuggle with his favourite humans.
Bobbin has not been tested with cats so we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis. Bobbin could be suited to a family with older, dog savvy children, as long as they are sensible around young dogs.

Jumps for joy!
Thimble and his siblings were found in an abandoned house with their mother, not long after she had given birth. Thankfully the owner of our partner shelter in Romania took the family in to the warmth and helped nurture the very young pups. The siblings have been cared for at a foster home and are now eager to find their perfect forever homes in the UK.
Thimble is a small pup with a big spring in his step and he gleefully bounds into adventures with a big helping of puppy energy! He is a happy lad around his favourite people, often jumping for joy when he sees someone he loves! It is hard to resist his gleeful welcomes, but Thimble may need to learn a few puppy manners in this area. We are sure with plenty of his favourite snacks on offer, he will be a brilliant little learner. Thimble was born with a slightly shorter tail than some of his siblings but this doesn’t effect him at all – in fact it makes him all the more unique!
Thimble is the cuddliest of his siblings and is most content when he has someone by his side giving him plenty of fuss. He also loves playing and never wants the fun to end! He will suit an active family but please do bear in mind that Thimble can become a little upset if he is left alone, and could suffer from separation anxiety. Ideally he will need adopters who are frequently at home and will be dedicated to separation training to help him overcome this. We could also consider homes with a friendly and confident resident dog to help guide Thimble in times of need.
Thimble has been living in a foster home with his siblings in a very rural area of Romania. He will need lots of patience and positive encouragement in his new home, and to give him the best chance at settling into his new environment, we will only be considering homes in at least semi-rural areas. We have no doubt that once he starts to feel comfortable, he will light up his new home with his joyous nature and big heart!
Thimble has not been tested with cats so we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis. He could be suited to a family with older, dog savvy children who are sensible around young dogs.

Bundle of joy!
Cotton and his siblings were found in an abandoned house with their mother, not long after she had given birth. Thankfully the owner of our partner shelter in Romania took the family in to the warmth and helped nurture the very young pups. The siblings have been cared for at a foster home and are now eager to find their perfect forever homes in the UK.
Like most young pups, Cotton is gradually getting used to all of the new sights and sounds that the big wide world has in store! He absolutely loves play time and chewing on his favourite toys but nothing will ever come before his love of food! Cotton is always first on the scene wherever there is something to gobble up and would happily eat all day if he could – this shows as he is the largest of the litter! He was also born without a tail, but this certainly doesn’t affect him, he’s a very happy boy but just looks a little more unique!
Cotton will need plenty of training in his new home, to help him with his puppy manners and when building his confidence in his new surroundings. He is also not used to busy environments, as he is currently in a foster home in a very rural part of Romania. As such, we will only be considering homes in at least semi rural areas. We are sure that with adopters who can offer him plenty of positive encouragement and a heap of love, he will build in confidence more each day.
Cotton has had some socialisation with dogs and wasn’t fearful, but could be a little unsure/wary of dogs that are much bigger than him. His response was to bark at them! With this in mind, adopters will need to be prepared for training him to build his confidence towards strange dogs. We could consider homes with friendly and confident resident dogs, who can offer him a little guidance if he feels nervous, and we are sure he would make an excellent play mate to his new doggy sibling!
Cotton has not yet had any socialisation with cats, we will be watching how his personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis. Cotton could be suited to a family with older, dog savvy children.
Please note, Cotton won’t be able to travel until at least mid March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Cotton as soon as possible!

A little princess!
Calico and her brothers were found in an abandoned house with their mother, not long after she had given birth. Thankfully the owner of our partner shelter in Romania took the family in to the warmth and helped nurture the very young pups. The siblings have been cared for at a foster home and are now eager to find their perfect forever homes in the UK.
Calico is still very young and is learning about the big wide world around her every day, although she has no problem keeping up with her four brothers and is proving to be the most energetic of the siblings! Calico has a confident side, but this will still need to be nurtured by her adopters in her new home, as she gets used to a completely different environment.
Calico is a little princess at heart and has no problem playing up to the title! After plenty of play time and exploring, her favourite place to be is snuggled up on a warm blanket, where she will almost instantly curl up and snooze to her hearts content. Calico would love to enjoy her afternoon naps in as much peace and quiet as possible. Her foster home in Romania is very rural & quiet and so she has not been exposed to busy environments/urban areas before. In order to help her adapt, we will only be considering homes in at least semi-rural areas. We have no doubt that Calico will relish being spoiled rotten by her humans and enjoy all of the little comforts that her new home has to offer!
Calico certainly has an eye (and a hungry tummy) for food! She absolutely loves meal times and is currently proving to be a keen learner for plenty of tasty treats! This will be an excellent tool during her training sessions and when helping her feel confident in her new home.
She will also need slow and positive introductions when meeting new dogs, as she can be a little vocal with those that are much bigger than her! With this in mind, adopters will need to be prepared for training her to be less reactive towards strange dogs and an experienced owner would be preferred. Calico could be the only dog in the home, but similarly she could adapt to a home with a calm & friendly resident dog that can help lead the way and teach her that other dogs aren’t so scary. However, owners would need to be dedicated to the bonding process between resident dog and Calico, which could initially take some time.
Calico has not yet been tested with cats so we will be watching how her personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis. She has had some socialisation with children, but she is best suited to a family with calm, older, dog savvy children who are sensitive to her needs.
Please note, Calico won’t be able to travel until at least mid March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Calico as soon as possible!

Teach me tricks
Say hello to Polly, who was found abandoned in a cardboard box when she was just 6 weeks old, along with her 5 siblings. Luckily our amazing partner shelter took them in and have been caring for them ever since. Now it’s time for her to travel to the UK and find a wonderful forever home.
Polly is a happy, friendly pup, who’s young personality is developing every day. Having been handled from a young age Polly is confident around people and loves a cuddle, although she is a little more reserved than her siblings and is happy to let them take all the attention. Being a little more nervous in nature, and coming from a rural environment, we will only be considering at least semi-rural homes for Polly.
Whilst Polly is calm in nature, she still loves to play and gets on with all other dogs she has met so far. She has already begun some basic training and has learnt to sit for treats, and will soon begin some lead training too. Polly is a quick learner and will really benefit from a family who can do lots of puppy training with her when she arrives, so she can keep up the good work!
Polly hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children so we will be watching how her puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Polly won’t be ready to travel to the UK until at least mid March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Polly as soon as possible!

Heart of Gold
Meet handsome Sammy, who was found abandoned in a cardboard box when he was just 6 weeks old, along with his 5 siblings. Luckily our amazing partner shelter took them in and have been caring for them ever since. Sammy will soon be ready to travel to the UK, and we can’t wait to find him a wonderful forever home.
Sammy is a calm, gentle young pup who’s personality is developing every day. Having been handled from a young age Sammy is confident around people and loves some fuss and attention from everyone in the shelter, but he has a kind heart and will happily step back and let his siblings take all the attention! He’s got lots of energy so would love an active home that can commit to plenty of walks, and fun training sessions with him every day. He’s already learning the basics but will need someone to keep him up to speed!
Sammy enjoys playing with his siblings and gets on with all other dogs he has met so far. He has been out on pack walks with older dogs, and fits right in. Sammy would be happy in a home with another dog, but he also wouldn’t mind having the attention to himself.
Sammy hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children so we will be watching how his puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Sammy won’t be travelling until at least mid-March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Sammy as soon as possible!

Confident happy soul
Meet handsome Snowy, who was found abandoned in a cardboard box when he was just 6 weeks old, along with his 5 siblings.

Snowy’s playful, bright young pup who’s personality is developing every day. Having been handled from a young age Snowy is confident around people and loves some fuss and attention from everyone in the shelter. He’s got lots of energy so would love an active home that can commit to plenty of walks, and fun training sessions with him every day.

Snowy loves to play and gets on with all other dogs he has met so far. He has been out on pack walks with older dogs, and fits right in. Snowy has also been introduced to the small local town and is seemingly calm around traffic and unknown noises, so we will consider homes in sub-urban areas, providing his exercise needs are met.
Snowy hasn’t had any socialisation with cats or children so we will be watching how his puppy personality develops and considering homes on a case by case basis.
Please note, Snowy won’t be travelling until at least mid-March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Snowy as soon as possible!

Roxy is very loving, confident little pup, who’s personality is still developing every day. Having been handled from a young age Roxy loves to be around people and will seek out human attention, whilst also having an independent streak.
Roxy has got lots of energy to burn, and loves playing with her siblings as well as other dogs in the shelter. Due to her high energy levels, we are looking for an active home, in an at least semi-rural setting, where Roxy will have space to burn of some steam as well as a nice sunny spot for some sunbathing as this is one of her favourite past times. Roxy has already began her basic training in the shelter loves to learn, so she will need a family who have plenty of time to keep up with this training to keep her mentally engaged.

Luckily our amazing partner shelter took them in and have been caring for them ever since. Pixie will be able to travel to the UK soon, and we can’t wait to find her a wonderful forever home.
Pixie is very sweet, bubbly little pup, who’s personality is still developing every day. Having been handled from a young age Pixie is confident around people and gets super excited when she gets attention, so much so it was hard to get a photo of her as she was wriggling around, desperate to say hello to everyone.
Pixie has got lots of energy to burn, and loves playing with her siblings as well as other dogs in the shelter. Due to her high energy levels, we are looking for an active home, in an at least semi-rural setting, where Pixie will have space to burn of some steam.

Bundle of energy
Introducing Betty, who was found abandoned in a cardboard box when she was just 6 weeks old, along with her 5 siblings. Luckily our amazing partner shelter took them in and have been caring for them ever since. Betty will soon be able to travel to the UK and we can’t wait to find her a wonderful forever home.
Betty is a cheeky pup, who’s got a big character. She had to be separated from her siblings early on as she was becoming very bossy and naughty around food. She was placed with some older dogs and since then her behaviour has really calmed down and she is now a happy, fun pup. Betty loves to play with other dogs in the shelter but due to this initial boisterous behaviour we would be looking to place her as the only dog in the home, but where she can still gets lots of socialisation with dogs outside of the home.
Betty has got tonnes of energy and loves bounding around, as well as getting stuck into some important puppy training. She’s been taught basic commands and will begin her lead training shortly. She’s a very intelligent girl and would love an active family who can give her lots of exercise as well one that will be prepared to do lots of puppy training with her once she arrives. For this reason we will only be considering at least semi-rural homes, so Betty has space to burn of her energy.
Due to Betty’s more boisterous personality we will only be considering homes with older, dog savvy children. She has not been tested with cats, so we will be watching how her personality develops and assessing applications on a case by case basis.
Please note, Betty won’t be travelling until at least mid-March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Betty as soon as possible!

Ready to blossom!
Introducing the very special Maddie. Having been born on the streets, Maddie knew very little about what it meant to feel safe. She was rescued along with her siblings by our brilliant partner shelter and since then, all of her lucky brothers and sisters have been adopted to the UK. Maddie has been gradually building up her confidence in a foster home and is now ready to follow her siblings, in search of her forever home where she can continue to thrive.
After a very unsure start to her life, Maddie is gradually learning what it means to be loved and since being in her foster home, she is coming out of her shell more each day. She was very nervous at first but after building a relationship with her foster carers, Maddie loves nothing more than a big cuddle on the sofa! She will likely take her time to bond with her new owners, as she can be wary of new people at first and sometimes reacts when there are new visitors in her foster home. She soon settles with plenty of reassurance but with this in mind, we will be looking for adopters who are patient and have some experience working with sensitive & potentially reactive dogs.
Maddie has also benefitted from living with other dogs in her foster home, it has specifically helped with building her confidence and also brings out her playful side! We will definitely be considering homes who already have a confident and calm resident dog, as this will help Maddie to feel comfortable in her new home.
Maddie loves going out on her walks, but may take some time to settle in her new surroundings. Maddie can be sensitive to loud noises so to give her the best chance at adapting, we will specifically be looking for homes in rural environments, where she can enjoy a peaceful walk and gradually build her confidence to new areas. We are sure that with the help and guidance of calm adopters, she will start to feel relaxed and will learn to love exploring her new home!
Due to her timid nature, we will not be considering homes with young children but homes with older, calm & dog savvy children could be considered on a case by case basis.
Maddie is a wonderful girl and is very deserving of a safe place to call home. We have no doubt that with some consistent, positive training and a big heap of love, she will continue to blossom more each day and we can’t wait to see how she grows!
When taken into shelter care Maddie tested positive for Giardia, but has since been treated and cleared of the infection.
Please note, Maddie won’t be ready to travel to the UK until at least mid March. As a result, it may take us longer to reply to applications, as we need to prioritise those arriving sooner – thank you for your patience, and rest assured we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest in Maddie as soon as possible!
