Hans in three words | Longing for love

Hans is a dog that spent most of his early life attached to a chain in someone’s back yard. When he was rescued, he had no confidence and was extremely skinny. It was immediately clear that Hans had never spent time inside a house, nor understood what love is.

But now Hans is very much changed! He is a handsome, confident and adorable boy who loves being around people of all ages, including children.

Hans is very clever and has a natural eagerness to please so should be highly trainable.

Hans’ favourite things include food, treats, being stroked/scratched and cuddles.

Hans doesn’t like to be left alone for long periods and suffers a little separation anxiety – he would be well suited to a home where people were often around or he could share a home with another dog to keep him company for short periods whilst people are out.

Hans walks well on the lead but doesn’t like jerking/pulling around his neck, likely because he spent so much time living on a chain.

Nadja in three words | Loyal, loving companion

Nadja was found wandering the streets near her rescuers house and has now been taken into foster until a loving home is found.

Nadja is a real peoples dog – she is quiet, gentle, playful and very obedient. She loves being around people, especially the foster’s children, and having cuddles!

Nadja is also very good with dogs. She lives with 5 other dogs and even if the other dogs try and eat her food, although displeased by the play of events, she is good and doesn’t snap or growl at them.

Nadja has medium energy levels, she enjoys a walk but is calm indoors.

Melita in three words | Pint sized Pointer

Melita was found in the back garden of a church where she had been chained to a tree and abandoned.

‘Meli’ in Greek translates to honey and hence why she was named Melita – she is as sweet-natured as her name suggests.

Melita is also very clever and should be highly trainable. She is obedient, loyal and enthusiastic.

Melita is currently living in a foster home in Lesvos. She gets on well with other dogs and has had socialisation with cats but doesn’t get on very well with cats. Her likely breed means she has a lot of hunting instinct and would be best placed in a home without other small animals that might prove too irresistible to chase!

Melita loves being around people and other dogs. She loves her food, enjoys going for walks and prefers to snooze next to the heater.

It is likely that Melita was dumped by her previous owners because she is scared of loud noises and proved a ‘useless’ hunting dog for them. For this reason, Melita would be best placed in at least a semi-rural home, away from busy towns and urban noises.

Melita isn’t a fan of rain or water but we’re confident she would adapt to UK weather in no time – it’s a small price to pay for an amazing home!

When Melita was recently spayed, it was discovered that she had a double hernia at the groin. It was too big an operation to carry out everything at once but Melita will undergo further surgery in Lesvos to rectify the hernia. Once sorted, Melita will then be able to travel to her new home.

Teddy in three words | Cute fluff-ball

Teddy was left at the shelter just before Christmas when his owners decided they didn’t want him anymore.

Teddy has come a long way since he was first found. He was very nervous and bewildered but has now blossomed into a wonderful little pup and is becoming more confident by the day and starting to investigate everything around him.

Teddy is currently living in a foster home with one of the shelter volunteers. He has been loving cuddles, attention and cuddling up with his best friend, Nora, by the fire. When they aren’t cuddled up together, they love tumbling around playing!

Teddy likes learning and is very inquisitive. He enjoys playing with his toys and has a very healthy appetite.

Fraggle in three words | Heart of gold

Fraggle was found with his brother as a tiny puppy. They were living under a car in the extreme heat of 40 degrees.

Fraggle has been living in foster care since he was rescued, he has received some good lead training and is house trained – although this may need to be trained again once in a new home.

Fraggle is a cheeky chappy and will test boundaries, but in the most adorable way, and is very obedient once he understands what is right and wrong.

Fraggle is loyal, playful and full of life! He would make an excellent family companion because he has a heart of gold and a very caring nature – so much so that he will allow pups to jump up at his face and attempt to play with him all day, without telling them off!

Fraggle loves to run and would love a home where he could go on good walks and chase around in fields of grass. When he’s done running around, he enjoys cuddling up to you.

Fraggle has been well socialised with other dogs, cats and kids.

Fraggle is a little nervous around cars and traffic. He would be best suited to at least a semi-rural home so he can adjust to the sounds gradually. Other than that, he really doesn’t have any dislikes!

Misty in three words | Clever, cuddly tripawd

Misty was found with an injured leg near the small village of Agiassos in Lesvos. When she was taken to the vets it was discovered that her leg had been permanently paralysed and the decision made to amputate it in order to save her.

Misty is a three-legged warrior and gets along great as a tripawd! She can be a little clumsy but that is all part of her goofy, loving charm.

Misty is extremely clever and just as able as any four-legged dog. She loves chasing around with other dogs but prefers dogs who aren’t too active/fast as she can’t keep up! She could live with another dog but would prefer a low-medium energy dog as she doesn’t enjoy crazy/boisterous play.

She absolutely adores people and is always asking for cuddles. Misty hasn’t been tested with children or cats but she has a very gentle and placid nature and should be adaptable to a home with either.

Rosie in three words | Cheeky little monkey

Rosie was abandoned at the side of a street and was rescued by our partner shelter in Bahrain.

Rosie is a cheeky pup that is full of energy and happiness. She will play with her toys all day long and loves going outside the shelter to explore – she a free spirited nature and can be a little cheeky and run out the door in front of you!

Rosie is very energetic and loves to be running around and playing with her friends and would prefer an active lifestyle.

Rosie also loves cuddles and attention. She responds well to love, patience and positive reinforcement training. She doesn’t like loud noises and would therefore be best suited to at least a semi-rural area.

Rosie enjoys listening to calm and soothing music to chill her out!

Tar in three words | Lively little companion

Tar found his name because he was rescued from the side of the road, covered in tar.

Tar is the perfect companion – he is a happy-go-lucky boy and enjoys spending time with people and other dogs.

Tar is very energetic and loves zooming around with his friends. He would love the chance to go for good walks and run through fields with another dog. He is full of energy though and needs a lot of stimulation and exercise. He would be well suited to a home with another dog that he could play with and burn off excess energy. When he isn’t around dogs he is happy to relax and cuddle up to you.

Tar is very food motivated and shows his best smile when the treats come out! He would be highly trainable and quick learner.

Brindle in three words | Spirited special chap

Brindle has a very unique story and came around at a special time – the oldest resident of the Bahrain shelter had just passed away with many volunteers mourning this old boys loss, but the next morning a puppy, now named Brindle, was left at the shelter gates who was the exact double of his long-lost ancestor who had passed the evening before. The shelter couldn’t believe their eyes. The shelter say that Brindle is the exact double of a dog they all loved and if Brindle turns out to be anything like his predecessor, his owners will be blessed.

Brindle is a happy chappy who enjoys playing with balls, toys and generally revelling in all human attention!

Brindle is a cheeky boy, full of personality, very energetic and loves to be doing something! He loves to run free and play with other dogs and has an adventurous spirit.

Fleur in three words | Strong, sensitive, selfless

Fleur was found on a construction site that is full of cars and heavy machinery and by the time she was rescued with her siblings, one had already been hit and left to die.

Fleur and her siblings were separated from their mother at a very young age having been found on a construction site. Fleur is one of the pups who struggled most with this and has benefitted from lots of human affection, she enjoys feeling a sense of security that an owner brings and would spend all day cuddling up to you if possible!

Fleur is one of the more timid of the litter but with time, patience and love she has opened up lots and could do the same with her new owner.

Fleur is the smartest of her siblings and is also the most selfless – she lets the bigger pups eat more, she isn’t a greedy dog and very patiently waits for food.

Fleur will be ready to travel from mid-January.

Poppie in three words | Very healthy appetite!

Poppie was found on a construction site that is full of cars and heavy machinery and by the time she was rescued with her siblings, one had already been hit and left to die.

Poppie is the biggest of the litter and she has been named, in the most affectionate way possible, ‘fatty’ because she loves food time and gobbles it all very quickly! She is a very food motivated girl and will likely grow to be a large size.

Poppie is very playful, has lots of energy and is full of confidence! She could adapt well to an urban lifestyle with gradual and slow introductions.

Poppie enjoys chewing her toys (and anything she can get her paws on!) and loves tumbling around with her siblings.

Poppie will be ready to travel from mid-January.

Rose was found on a construction site that was full of cars and heavy machinery and by the time she was rescued with her siblings, one had already been hit and left to die.

Bolt and his 7 siblings were found on an empty piece of land near a road. They were found with their mother who had very sadly been hit by a car and had passed away. A local lady rescued the siblings and brought them to the shelter where they are are now growing up.

Bolt’s favourite pass time, much like his name suggests, is running around in the garden and playing with his siblings. But when he is tired, Bolt also loves to cuddle up in your lap for a good snooze.

Bolt loves his food, loves attention and doesn’t mind the occasional bath!

Bolt has only just been rescued and is very young so his personality is still developing and we will know more information soon.

Simba and his 7 siblings were found on an empty piece of land near a road. They were found with their mother who had very sadly been hit by a car and had passed away. A local lady rescued the siblings and brought them to the shelter where they are are now growing up.

Simba is super friendly and his main aim in life is to get as much attention as possible!

Simba likes most things! However, bath time isn’t his favourite and he prefers to be around people instead of being left alone. But like all dogs, some separation training would soon rectify this.

Simba has only just been rescued and is very young so his personality is still developing and we will know more information soon.

Anais was dropped off to the shelter when her owners decided they no longer wanted her.

Anais is a unique mixed breed dog – she has very short legs but a very long body (and tongue!) and has a very comical personality to match!

Anais is very friendly with people and would make a great companion for one lucky person/family! She is also good with other dogs and would suit a home in a semi-rural environment, away from busy towns.

She enjoys being around people, getting lots of attention and treats and would like to be back in the comfort of a house once again.

Bria likes being around other dogs and she loves treats, walks and lots of attention!

Georgia is an all around happy dog, she is clever and generally very easy going.

Bella in three words | Loves a walk

Bella was brought to the shelter by her owner because she had too many dogs and couldn’t look after them all anymore.

Bella was sadly the victim of an attack by another dog and her ear had to be amputated. Despite this, she is an all around good girl and it hasn’t changed her personality in the slightest. She is very friendly with everyone and walks well on the lead, although she can be strong at times given her size!

Bella is currently a little too loved and needs to lose some weight but with a lack of help from volunteers she doesn’t get the required exercise she needs. She loves walking and, in a new home with lots of good walks, she could become trim in no time!

Bella is good around other dogs and would suit a home with another confident dog that she could learn from.

Because of Bella’s past, she would be best suited to a quiet home in at least a semi-rural area.

Bella lives a very happy and healthy life with only one ear and does not suffer because of it!

Cilla in three words | Natural bright spark

We don’t know much about Cilla’s past – she may have been living on the streets or she may have been someone’s pet, but she was found dumped with her 9 puppies along the road of our partner shelter by someone who didn’t want her anymore.

Cilla is a sweet girl that deserves a stress free life away from the streets and away from a life of having puppies.

Cilla is likely a collie mix so is naturally clever and has a pre-disposition to please. However, this also likely means that she can be naturally wary of things.

She isn’t generally nervous around the shelter but is unsure of new situations (i.e. she was scared by a flock of geese at the shelter!) but this is nothing some patience, love and understanding couldn’t rectify. She would be best suited to live in at least a semi-rural area with an experienced dog owner to help her get used to new surroundings. The more time you spend with Cilla, the more confident she becomes day by day.

Cilla is good with other dogs and would be well suited to a home with another dog to help her build up confidence.

Meggy is good at walking on the lead and enjoys her short walks around the shelter. She gets excited for treats and praise and is partial to kissing your face!

Jackie in three words |

Jackie was brought into the local veterinary clinic for a routine spay operation but the owner never returned for her. After 7 weeks at the vets, our partner shelter in Bahrain of course agreed to take Jackie in and care for her.

Jackie is the princess of the shelter – she loves having all the attention and being the dominant character! She is good with dogs that are submissive but clashes with more dominant dogs. However, she is very submissive and trusting with people. For this reason, Jackie could live in a home with another submissive dog but she would also be fine as the only dog in the household as she loves humans more so.

Jackie can take a little while to warm to new people but once she trusts you, she is very loyal and loving.

Jackie enjoys going for long walks, having her belly rubbed by the volunteers at her shelter and splashing around in water!

Jackie is outgoing and energetic but will also relax with you for cuddles at the end of a long day.

Goofy in three words | Long legged lover

Goofy was found wandering aimlessly along a highway in a very remote area of Bahrain. When he was rescued, he was extremely skinny and wouldn’t have stood a chance at staying alive because there was no food or shelter for miles. We don’t know his history but it is likely that he was dumped when he proved too sweet and cuddly to be an effective guard dog.

Goofy has a heart of gold and just wants to be loved. He is very gentle natured, extremely loyal and trusting. Goofy has very long legs and enjoys using them to go for extensive walks on the beach and hiking through the hills!

Goofy is good with all people, children and animals. He can be a little bit head shy when he first meets strangers and will bow his head away from you. He gets on great with other dogs and is submissive to them.

Ivan in three words | Curiously investigating life

Ivan and his siblings were born to a mum who was kept on a chain in someone’s garden. All of the siblings were extremely timid when rescued but, after a few short weeks, Ivan has come out of his shell and is building up his confidence and trust in people.

Ivan has a quiet and gentle nature, he gets on great with other dogs and is submissive to other dogs.

Ivan enjoys sniffing, belly rubs, chasing around after his sister, Bambi, and is starting to learn how to play with toys.

Ivan is still nervous when meeting new people and doesn’t like sudden movement but now enjoys cuddles with his shelter mum.

Bambi and her siblings were born to a mum who was kept on a chain in someone’s garden. All of the siblings were extremely timid when rescued but, after a few short weeks, Bambi has come out of her shell and is building up her confidence and trust in people.

Bambi is now a very cuddly and loving dog to her shelter mum but takes a while to warm to new people. Once she knows you and is comfortable, she is a very playful and happy pup!

Bambi loves running around and being chased by her brother, Ivan. She gets on well with other dogs but can be a little protective over toys, treats and food. She is also the protective big sister over Ivan!

Bambi doesn’t enjoy travelling in the car but with some gradual desensitisation we are sure this could be worked through.

Eugene in three words | Play, cuddle, repeat

Eugene and his siblings were found on an empty plot of land in a village 5km from the main town, Mytilene. They were extremely frightened and it was difficult to catch them. They were full of fleas, very underweight and extremely hungry. They are now living in foster care and awaiting new homes.

Eugene has made great progress with human contact, he still has a lot to learn and doesn’t trust all people but once he knows you he is very friendly, cuddly and loves licking your face!

Eugene is gentle and sweet natured – he loves playing with his siblings and then cuddles up to them once they are done playing. He is still a little underweight so is eating (and enjoying!) lots of food.

Eugene doesn’t like sudden movements and still has a slight fear of being touched. Eugene and his siblings prefer to come to people on their own terms, when they feel they can trust you, and then they give you so much love.

Elora in three words | Treats are life

Elora and her siblings were found on an empty plot of land in a village 5km from the main town, Mytilene. They were extremely frightened and it was difficult to catch them. They were full of fleas, very underweight and extremely hungry. They are now living in foster care and awaiting new homes.

Elora has made great progress with human contact, she still has a lot to learn and doesn’t trust everyone yet but once she knows you she is very friendly, cuddly and loves licking your face!

Elora is a sweet puppy with a gentle nature and she loves cuddling up and playing with her siblings. She is still a little underweight so is eating (and enjoying!) lots of food.

Elora doesn’t like sudden movements and still has a slight fear of being touched. Elora and her siblings prefer to come to people on their own terms, when they feel they can trust you.

Susie in three words | Good as gold

Susie’s owner decided she was too much of a burden and threatened that she was going to kill her to other people. When our partner shelter heard this they immediately relieved ‘owner’ of Susie.

Since arriving at the shelter, Susie has been nothing but amazing. She is not been disruptive nor destroyed anything as the owner had claimed. Even if she was, that’s nothing that some dedicated training, extra stimulation and love from the shelter couldn’t rectify.

Susie is shy with people at first, she likes to investigate and get to know them before she becomes your friend. Once she trusts you she is very sweet, obedient and extremely intelligent.

Susie likes to hide under the bushes to relax and purvey her surroundings, she is a particularly curious dog, always looking for the next thing to sniff and investigate!

Susie isn’t a fan of lead walking, she is still a bit nervous but this is nothing that a little dedicated training couldn’t solve.

Hickory and his siblings, along with their mum and dad, were found dumped on a dirt track leading towards our partner shelter in Greece. As soon as they were noticed, they were rescued.

All the pups are now living at the shelter, doing well and are ready for new lives!

Hickory is a friendly, inquisitive and playful boy. Like all puppies he is curious about the world around him and enjoys sniffing and exploring!

He loves human affection and particularly enjoys a good meal!

Vincent in three words | Desperately seeking forever

Vincent is currently in foster in the UK and is available to visit. Any interested adopters should note that the Lesvos adoption fee will apply.

Vincent and his siblings were rescued and recovered from the top of the highest mountain in Lesvos in early September.

Vincent loves nothing more than cuddling up on your lap, chewing his toys and sleeping! He loves attention and so much so that he can be a little jealous of any other dogs getting the attention instead. Vincent is currently living with another dog but we believe he would be best suited to a home where he is the only dog because he can get jealous.

Vincent is currently in foster in a city but he is very nervous of the bustle of city life. Vincent’s ideal home would be one where he can get used to the outside world at his own pace and won’t be overwhelmed by loud noises or busy places.

Vincent is a lovely little boy and has an adorably cute and tiny tail! He can be timid with new people but he soon warms to you for cuddles once he knows you.

Custard in three words | Sweet as pie

Custard was dumped by the shelter gates as a puppy and has been living at the shelter ever since.

We think she’s likely a Saluki mix but whatever her DNA, Custard is a total beauty!

She is very friendly, loves to cuddle and walks well on the lead outside the shelter. Custard has been socialised with dogs and loves playing with them! Custard has a very gentle nature and is even good with puppies.

Understandably, Custard is a shy girl having been dumped from a very young age and would need time and patience to help build up her confidence in a new environment. For this reason, Custard would be best suited to at least a semi-rural home.

Reuben in three words | Waiting for forever

Originally from Cyprus, Reuben is now living in foster in the UK – visits can be arranged for serious enquiries.

Reuben was found with his siblings, living on the streets at a young age. He grew up in a foster home in Cyprus with his siblings until he was 4 months old and then was shortly adopted within the UK.

Sadly, Reuben’s previous home has not worked out for him because he feels very stressed around children. Therefore, we are looking for a home with adults only.

Reuben is currently in a temporary foster home in London but would prefer a more rural setting because he can be vocal towards noise and busy city life. He enjoys the countryside and absolutely loves chasing around in the woods for hours on end – he constantly checks in but is also happy to stay close and play fetch with you!

Reuben has a high prey drive and therefore has to be monitored for safe areas to allow him off lead. He isn’t good in smaller/less enclosed park areas or around livestock. However, his current foster carer has been working with him consistently and he is showing improvement in this area.

Reuben loves other dogs and plays gently with them. He is sometimes vocal and shows teeth when playing but this is just his style of play and he has befriended another foster dog named Buckley at his current home. Although not essential, he would love to be rehomed with Buckley or, alternatively, into a home with another dog.

Reuben is extremely intelligent and curious. He is very good with commands, except heeling whilst out and about as his curiosity can get the better of him! He would love a home where people are around for most of the day, can occupy him with mental stimulation games and keep up with his training as he is a very capable dog.

Reuben adores people and will cuddle up to you for hours once he is tired. He enjoys his home comforts and prefers to be tucked up in a blanket at bedtime.

Renee in three words | Loves long adventures

Renee had been chained up in a garden with five other dogs and had been severely neglected all her life. She managed to break free and was found lying next to the garden on the day she was rescued. Renee was just skin and bones when she was found but she is far from that now! Given time and love she has flourished into the beautiful dog she was meant to be.

Renee is a lovely, friendly and energetic dog. She enjoys long walks and often goes off exploring independently and therefore will need lots of training with recall before she is allowed off lead in her new home. When Renee isn’t following her nose, she is happy to curl up in your lap for cuddles!

Renee would be best suited to a home where she could be the only dog and revel in all the attention. She gets on well with dogs but prefers her own space and is known to guard treats/food from other dogs.

Renee will be ready for adoption from January 2020.

Sybil in three words | Desperately seeking forever

Sybil likely had a home her whole life… until recently. Sybil and her sister, Miley, lived in a house with lots of other dogs but sadly their previous owner suffers from some few health issues and was unable to continue caring for them. Our partner shelter stepped in and offered Sybil and Miley solace when they had no other option. These girls aren’t used to shelter life – they much prefer the comfort of a warm lap and cosy house and this is what we seek to find them once again.

Sybil is slightly more reserved than her sister, Miley. However, after some good treats and a belly rub she soon warms up to you and loves going for a good walk. With some time, patience and encouragement, Sybil could be a wonderful addition to someones home.

As Sybil has spent so much time living with her sister and other dogs, we would love for the girls to be rehomed together. Failing this, Sybil would benefit from a house with another dog she could befriend.

Sybil would prefer a quiet household with older children only.

Despite previously having a home, Sybil obviously hadn’t been properly cared for in years. Her coat is distinctly dull and with some love and a good groom she would shine like the star she truly is.

Our partner shelter stepped in and offered Miley and Sybil solace when they had no other option. These girls aren’t used to shelter life – they much prefer the comfort of a warm lap and cosy house and this is what we seek to find them once again.

Miley adores her Saturday morning walks and loves a belly rub from the shelter workers! The Wild at Heart team, having recently met Miley, can assure you that this girl has a beautiful personality and once shown some love she can’t resist cuddling up to you at every opportunity.

Miley can be slightly shy to begin with but she responds well to encouragement (and treats!) and soon warms up to you.

Snowy in three words | Super smiley chappy

Snowy was tied up to the shelter gates overnight and found the next morning. He was rescued in October 2018 when he was around 1 year old. He didn’t appear lame at the time but in May 2019 it was sadly discovered by x-ray that Snowy may have been hit by a car before being dumped at the shelter. Snowy had a femoral head removed and the joint of his leg tidied up at the vets. He can sometimes limp but he doesn’t let this get in his way – he is generally fit and healthy and shows no sign of pain.

Snowy has the most gorgeous markings and is a super friendly chap. He is very confident and just desperately wants love and attention. He craves company and is never happier than when people show interest in him.

He hasn’t had exposure to kids but with older children Snowy should be adaptable as he is a gentle character, very kind and placid towards people.

Diego in three words | Loves to learn

Diego originally came from Bosnia but is now living in the UK – visits can be arranged for serious adopters.

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.

Joey in three words | Heart of gold

Lovely Joey has a heart of gold and is always smiling his goofy smile. With his gorgeous amber eyes and soppy stare, it’s hard not to be won over by this special boy!

Joey’s early life is something of a mystery – after spending many years attached to a house (either as a pet or as a fed ‘community dog’ – it’s not uncommon for Thai locals to feed the strays in their community and form bonds with their favourites!) a change in circumstance led to Joey roaming the street without anyone caring for him. Not used to having to fend for himself, he was struggling to get by. Thankfully, our partner shelter took him in and have been caring for him ever since.

Joey’s a gentle soul, and he’s happy to take on the role of chilled out bystander while some of the sparkier personalities might choose to rough and tumble – he’s definitely a thinker not a fighter!

That said, when Joey does get out for his regular rounds of the extensive shelter grounds, he loves a good run, and gallops around the long grass with a huge smile on his face!

He’s great with other dogs of all sizes and ages, and never starts a fight. Whilst we’ve not tested him with kids yet, his quiet school of cool will likely make him an excellent fit for families.

Joey will be ready to travel to the UK from early January onwards, and we know he’ll slot brilliantly into a loving home environment – he’s so easy going, we imagine he’ll be part of the furniture (or at least curled up snoozing on it) before you even know it!

Sparrow in three words | Love is blind

Sparrow was abandoned in a very busy area of Mytilene in Lesvos. A few days after being abandoned he was hit by a car, left badly injured on the side of the road. As a consequence of the crash, Sparrow’s left eye suffered severe damage and sadly had to be removed.

The infection from this eye also caused damage to the nerve in his other eye. Sadly this means that Sparrow is completely blind. He might be able see shadows of objects/people but any vision will be very limited. Sparrow doesn’t let his lack of vision hold him back though and he has developed amazing senses and is a very intelligent boy.

Sparrow currently lives with two children – one teenager and one older child and he completely adores them. He particularly loves walking on the beach, playing with his friends and cuddling up to people.

Given Sparrow’s harsh start to life, he was initially timid and worried about traffic but his foster carer worked on his confidence around traffic a lot and saw some improvement. He has since been moved to another foster who has continued to build up his confidence in a more rural area.

Sparrow would prefer a home where people are around often and can slowly build up the time he is left alone.

Nina in three words | Friends with everyone

Nina was found wandering the streets, in a known local village where dogs are dumped. Friends of the shelter found her and began feeding her but one day Nina decided to follow them home. Sadly their own dogs began tormenting her so she ran away. She went further down the road and another house, who had 7 dogs, started feeding her. They decided they couldn’t take on another large dog so called our partner shelter who agreed to rescue Nina.

Nina is friendly with all dogs and people, playful, loving and very loyal. She enjoys walks but likes to amble along at her own pace.

As Nina had to fight for her life on the streets, she has some anxiety around food. She doesn’t like people or dogs watching her eat as she feels threatened by this.

The shelter also believe she may have been hit by her previous owner as she is fearful of sticks. However, she is confident around men and has no issues.

Sinbad was found with his brother as a tiny puppy. They were living under a car in the extreme heat of 40 degrees and Sinbad was completely infested with ticks, emaciated and dehydrated. Sinbad was found at just the right time and has gone on to be very fit now!

Sinbad is still a young dog and his personality develops day by day. He is incredibly sweet, full of love and spirit!

Sinbad loves engaging with people, young and old! He is a typical puppy and just wants to play with his friends all day long, which is hard in the summer months because it is just too hot in Bahrain for this.

Sinbad loves treats, chew toys and cuddling up you.

Patch was left tied up outside the shelter gates one morning. Our partner shelter never turn a dog away and now Patch has the chance to experience love and trust, likely for the first time, in a new home.

Patch is a dog that loves to please people – he is very intelligent, friendly and playful. He has a very easy-going personality and tends to ignore cats, although he is not around them regularly.

At the moment, Patch has been a little too well loved by his shelter and is slightly overweight. Patch would love to be running around daily and this would certainly lose some of the weight quickly, once in a new home.

Mojo in three words | Sweet natured softie

Mojo’s owner died and his extended family did not want to keep him. So instead of Mojo being left on the streets, he was given to our partner shelter in Bulgaria and now he is looking for his forever home!

Mojo is a sweet natured dog who just wants to be around people. He loves attention and being fussed, likely because he grew up living in a home.

Mojo can be a little anxious when you touch him around his head and neck, we aren’t aware of anything having happened to Mojo but the shelter are working to desensitise him, showing him lots of loving!

Mojo is great with other dogs, he loves running around and playing with them and when he isn’t running around with the others, he is more than happy to relax with you for some cuddles. You get the best of both worlds with Mojo; fun loving and relaxed!

Mojo is a larger sized dog and when excited can be quite boisterous and sometimes mouths, which could be changed with consistent training. For this reason, we would be looking for an adult only home.

Mojo will be able to travel to a new home from January 2020.

Oreo in three words | Sweet shy girl

Oreo was found roaming the streets by one of the shelter workers. When Oreo was found she was in relatively good condition so it is believed that she may have been dumped recently by her previous owner, or that she was purposefully bred and the breeder didn’t like the look of her, so discarded her.

Oreo is very shy and takes a while to warm to people. Oreo may have potentially been abused by a previous owner and so she needs patience and understanding in order to form trust. But underneath Oreo’s shy exterior reveals a very loving dog with a sweet, gentle and kind soul. She longs for a kind person to show her all the love she has missed out on.

Once you get to know Oreo she is very playful, loves to run free and splash around in the paddling pool. She loves chewing her toys and playing with her friends.

Oreo can be unsure of new dogs but once she knows them she is very happy to play.

Chrissie has a sweet and gentle nature and just wants to be loved. She can be a little shy around new people but it isn’t long before she warms up to you and is asking for attention and cuddles.

She isn’t a fan of going for walks at the moment, mostly because she isn’t used to them and feels nervous having grown up on the streets.

Twix in three words | Full of love

Twix’s previous owner used to leave him for days on end in his caravan whilst he travelled around. Luckily some ladies in an adjoining campsite noticed this. They fed and let Twix out daily but this was no life for him and his owner didn’t want the responsibility of Twix anymore. Upon learning about this, Twix was soon rescued and taken to the safety of our partner shelter in Portugal.

Even with Twix’s less than ideal start to life he still has total trust in people, he just wants to be loved and he especially warms to men.

Twix is very intelligent and playful. He gets on well with the dogs at the shelter but he can be slightly unsure of new dogs to begin with. He would be suited to being the solo dog in a household because he loves humans so much!

Twix enjoys chasing around after a ball but doesn’t take an interest in the shelter’s paddling pool like some of the other dogs!

Tiger in three words | A smiling survivor

Tiger, known as Suua in Thai, is an energetic bundle of joy!

Found in an abused and neglected condition in someone’s garden in Rayana, in the South of Thailand, Tiger was seized from his owner and taken into a rescue and rehabilitation centre. He has spent most of his life chained up and when he was found he was suffering from horrific wounds and severe neck injuries.

Now, having finally been given the freedom, this gorgeous dog runs around like an excitable pup with boundless energy! He loves playing around with other dogs, playing in water and is highly entertained by his toys.

He plays nicely with female and non-dominant male dogs but will sometimes growl or bark at dominant males.

Although he is sensitive when his neck is touched from his previous injuries, he is also fine walking on lead and comfortably wears a collar.

As well as being great with other dogs, he is also good with people. Tiger needs a home willing to give him the love, time and attention he missed out on as a puppy.

Roxie was found outside a local temple in Nakhon Nayok, Thailand. Despite her poor start in life, she is a lively, charismatic dog – full of life, energy and love!

She can be nervous and wary of new dogs at first and can try to dominate so she needs positive introductions. Yet with dogs she knows at the rescue centre, she is very playful and loving.

To name a few, Roxie loves walking, running, and playing with her toys (especially her chew toys). She has a very healthy appetite and is food-motivated so she’ll sit and wait for her treats.

More importantly, Roxie likes affection and cuddles and is looking for a home who can give her just as much love.

Athena in three words | Shy but snuggly

Athena was found alongside her siblings on a busy main road in Romania. All were rescued safely and now live at a local shelter, awaiting loving homes and families of their own.

Athena is still a little timid around around new people but with extra love and attention she soon starts to trust and comes out of her shell. She will need slow introductions to new people and strangers.

Similarly, Athena can be little nervous of new dogs but she soon warms up to them and wants to play! She would benefit from a home with another confident, resident dog as she follows and copies the more confident dogs.

As Athena can be quite shy, her ideal home would be in a rural area, away from loud and busy places.

Her favourite thing is cuddling up next to people and being given treats!

Tic-Tac in three words | Loveable cuddle monster

Tic-Tac was found wandering the streets with his brother and both had contracted parvovirus. Unfortunately, his brother couldn’t survive it, but Tic-tac battled through and is now in the safety of the local shelter awaiting a loving home.

Tic-tac is extremely friendly and loves cuddling up on your lap. He is very silly and would entertain children all day with his goofiness!

When Tic-Tac is taken away from what he is used to he can become a little shy, but he’s such a lover of people that a little TLC and patience is enough to reassure him that all is well.

Tic-Tac isn’t the biggest fan of baths, he likes to run away and hide but is fine once he is in the bath!

Tic-tac is great with other dogs, both males and females but is not good with cats.

Mormo in three words | Smiley, soppy sweetheart

Mormo was rescued as she was sentenced to death after she was found roaming the streets. Mormo is very intelligent and quick to learn, she will do anything for a tasty treat. Mormo is very friendly and loves to play with the children.

Mormo is a loving and affectionate dog with a lot of energy. She loves to chew her toys and perform tricks, particularly catching treats! She also loves to chase around after her ball. She is very bubbly and just wants some solo attention!

Mormo is not great with other dogs and needs to learn to read social cues. She would therefore need an owner with previous experience to help her adjust to a new environment and prefer to be the only dog in a home.

Mormo has a lot of love to give and would make a great dog, she would need lead training but is a fast learner so could pick this up with some training. Mormo would suit an active family, preferably with a garden so she can run around and play with her toys.

Elko in three words | Three legged wonder!

Elko is one of our Super Six – the six Lebanese street dogs rescued as part of our 2019 Lebanon project. Elko used to be a pet, until his owners decided they no longer wanted to care for him and turned him out on the streets.

According to locals in the area, he had been roaming the streets ever since, desperately hoping for a second chance that never came. Once we heard about Elko’s story, we knew we had to step in and save him. Elko was in a bad way physically, as you can see from the initial photos: he had an awful case of mange and has had to have his front leg amputated due to the severe damage that had been caused. But just look at him now!..

Despite everything he’s been through, Elko is a really friendly dog who hasn’t let his terrible luck turn him against humans. He’s a placid, happy-go-lucky boy who gets on well with the other dogs at the shelter, keeps out of fights and drama, and lives for his next cuddle. Sadly, he simply cannot receive the level of love, dedication and interaction he deserves whilst living in a large shelter and we desperately want to find this soppy boy a home of his own so he can enjoy some well-deserved attention.

As with all our rescues, we’re committed to ensuring that all Elko’s veterinary needs are met before he is re-homed, and will work closely with his adopters to provide all the aftercare he might need to rehabilitate. His surgery has been completed, and he walks comfortably on three legs. His disability does not get in his way or cause him discomfort, and he plays and walks as happily as any four-legged dog!

Daisy in three words | Nervous but nice

Daisy was rescued from Romania after she and her siblings were thrown over the wall of a shelter in a plastic bag. All of the litter were adopted a few years ago but unfortunately Daisy is still looking for her ideal home.  Her owners have made the difficult decision to seek a more suitable home for her after recognising that their urban environment is causing her a lot of stress.

When Daisy arrived in the UK as a puppy she had suffered a traumatic and inconsistent beginning through no fault of her own. She was consequently very nervous and fearful and struggled to connect with people. However, after an intensive training course and significant dedication to helping her acclimatise to her new life, Daisy calmed down and started to fit in with her new family. In this time she passed her Sensitivity course at ElmTree Dog Training and amazed everyone with her progress. She will sit, wait, do tricks and will wait to eat a treat until commanded to do so. Daisy is extremely intelligent and learns quickly.

Given her past, Daisy was socialised carefully and slowly but once thoughtfully introduced to new people she falls in love and becomes devoted to them. She has improved immensely around people but can still be wary, particularly of men. To those she loves, she sings to them, mostly including the women in the household and also the family cleaner. Daisy adores walks in the countryside where she can chase birds and squirrels to her hearts content. She loves being brushed and whilst she dislikes bath-time she puts up with it because she enjoys the end result, burying her nose into the soft towel when you dry her off.

With proper introductions, Daisy loves to play with other dogs, regularly joining group dog walks but she becomes particularly anxious when dogs run up to her.

Daisy is a lovely but nervous dog who prefers a calm home. Her current adopters have committed to consistent training and she is much improved since she first came to them. However, her anxiety, busy city life and living with another dog, means she struggles in her current home. When Daisy and her current adopters go away to the countryside where she thrives and is a much happier dog.

Daisy is a very loving that ultimately needs a quiet home in a rural area with no children or other pets. She currently shares her home with another older dog but would prefer being the solo dog in the household, where adopters could concentrate on her training and provide her with the calm environment she needs. She would also benefit from an experienced owner, or foster, who is committed to keeping up with her training and working past any ongoing behavioural traits.

Gabriel in three words | A little angel

Gabriel was left in a cardboard box at the shelter gates in Bahrain just before Christmas. He wasn’t appreciated by his last owners but he really was a shining beacon for the shelter and so they named him Gabriel, because he is a little angel and deserved to be treated like one!

Gabriel is incredibly sweet and, in the short time he has been at his foster home in Bahrain, he has exhibited his clever character! He is still very young but is very eager to learn and please people.

Gabriel loves going to the beach with his foster family – he loves to do zoomies on the sand and play in the sea. He also loves trying to persuade his foster family that they should surrender all their food at the family picnic on the beach!

Gabriel has a sense of adventure within him and is longing for a new life where he can enjoy lovely walks with a new family.

Nora in three words | Bonnie little lass

Nora was dumped at the shelter gates one day with nothing other than a vaccination card when her owners decided they didn’t want her anymore.

Nora is a cute, cuddly and smart little girl. She is interested in all her new surroundings and wants to be involved in anything you’re doing! She is very responsive and should be highly trainable.

She loves her food, loves a cuddle and is happy to play all the time.

Nora is still very little so her size is an estimation but she could be on the smaller size of medium when fully grown, given her dainty little paws!

Daisy in three words | Bundles of personality

Daisy was found on a construction site that is full of cars and heavy machinery and by the time she was rescued with her siblings, one had already been hit and left to die.

Daisy is the smallest of her litter and has been ever since she was first rescued but her little legs shouldn’t be under-estimated because she’s growing into a strong and mighty pup!

Being the smallest, Daisy is growing up and learning that she needs to be very strong willed against her bigger siblings and stands up for herself. What she lacks in size, she makes up for in personality!

Daisy is the most affectionate of the litter and is a giant cuddle bug!

Daisy will be ready to travel from mid-January.

Basil was found on a construction site that is full of cars and heavy machinery and by the time he was rescued with his siblings, one had already been hit and left to die.

Basil is the only boy pup of his litter but his sisters ensure he gets lots of ‘rough’ play time! Basil is very gentle natured and puts up with all of his sisters boisterous play.

Rudy in three words | Loveable little chap

Rudy was brought to the shelter in Bahrain after a local found him wandering near the area where he lived. He said that Rudy was being fed by locals and tourists but that children had started being mean and throwing things at him. The local that brought Rudy to the shelter agreed to take him and have him vaccinated so that he could return to the shelter once he was free of any diseases caught on the street. However, after agreeing to do so, the shelter never saw this local or Rudy again… that is until a family member of the shelter found him roaming the streets once again! Since then, Rudy has stayed in the shelter, has been treated and is thriving!

Rudy has a very distinct look about him – he has glorious golden fur, glistening green eyes and pointed ears, and his personality matches his uniqueness.

Rudy is extremely friendly and generally a submissive dog, not wishing to be the alpha of any group. He is desperate for attention and cuddles and always stands at the fence longing for you to stroke him!

Rudy has a calm and gentle nature unlike most of the puppies at the shelter. But despite his calm nature, he is adventurous and would love to leave the shelter behind and explore the big world around him.

Rudy is very willing to learn and eager to please for the reward of treats. He sleeps with five other dogs and they all get on very well and play together.

Poppie in three words | Mischievous but clever

Poppie was abandoned with her brother and found near an apartment block. Some locals called our partner shelter about the two pups but before they were able to get there, Poppie’s brother was run over and sadly died.

Poppie is a delight to be around, her tail never stops wagging and she has an infectious personality that you can’t help but love. Being the little independent woman she is, Poppie is very strong willed but is a clever little thing and should be highly trainable in the right home.

Poppie struggles with confidence and for this reason can be reactive around larger dogs but plays nicely with small ones. At the moment, Poppie isn’t confident enough to join the shelter on their group walks.

As Poppie can be nervous and sometimes strong willed, a confident and well experienced dog owner would be preferred.

Poppie will be ready for adoption from January 2020.

Esme in three words | Learning to love

Esme and her siblings were found on an empty plot of land in a village 5km from the main town, Mytilene. They were extremely frightened and it was difficult to catch them. They were full of fleas, very underweight and extremely hungry. They are now living in foster care and awaiting new homes.

Esme has made great progress with human contact, she still has a lot to learn and doesn’t trust all people but once she knows you she is very friendly, cuddly and loves licking your face!

Esme has a gentle and sweet nature, she loves cuddling up and playing with her siblings. She is still a little underweight so is eating (and enjoying!) lots of food.

Esme doesn’t like sudden movements and still has a slight fear of being touched. Esme and her siblings prefer to come to people on their own terms, when they feel they can trust you.

Monkey in three words | Cheeky little monkey

Cheeky little Monkey is a 5 month old bundle of happiness who has the gentlest of natures. In the few months she’s been at our partner shelter in Thailand, she’s stolen the hearts of all the staff (including WAHF’s own Eleanor when she visited on a recent project trip!) Her constantly wagging tail, pricked up ears and smiley personality are impossible to resist.

Monkey had a tough start to life: after being hit by a car as a tiny puppy, she was stranded at the side of a busy road. This left her incredibly vulnerable to further injury, and she was in huge amounts of pain – thankfully, a local passerby saw her and had the good sense to contact Bon Jardin, the organisation we partner with out in Thailand. As soon as they received a call, they drove straight to the site and took her the vet. Monkey was found to be suffering from severe anaemia and blood-borne parasites and was too weak for surgery. So whilst undergoing lengthy treatment to get her platelets back up, her leg was placed in a cast to fuse.

Fortunately, three months on, this gorgeous girl has finally bounced back with an extra spring in her newly healed step! She’s a wonderful soul who gets on brilliantly with dogs and humans alike. She loves to play with her shelter-mates of all ages, and runs rings around them all with her razor sharp intelligence. She’s even learnt how to open the gate of her enclosure despite the elaborate lock!!

Whilst Monkey hasn’t yet been tested around children, we’re very confident she’d adapt wonderfully to life with a family. She could also live with another dog.

Her broken back leg is now fully healed, and she’s had the all clear from her vet. As with all our Thai dogs, she’ll receive a blood tests and paperwork before travelling to the UK.

Monkey will be ready to travel from early January, and we’d love to have a new family lined up ready to help usher in a new year and a brand new life!

Seeker in three words | Boop that snoot

Seeker’s name in Thai translates literally as ‘someone that has come from afar’, a name which was given to him after he appeared at our partner shelter out of the blue. It was as if he knew he needed help, and he somehow senses that this was the best place to get it: Seeker by name, seeker by nature!

Seeker is believed to have been someone’s pet before being dumped and abandoned – sadly an all too common fate for dogs in Thailand. Despite this, he still enjoys human company and makes himself very happily at home in the houses at the shelter when he’s allowed in…clearly his pet ways haven’t left him!

He’s a happy, friendly young lad who’s always smiling – his distinctive blue tongue makes his grin all the more endearing. He loves to walk and play in the shelter’s extensive farmland grounds; he’s an energetic boy who’d love a family who can give him the active, playful lifestyle he craves.

Seeker is good with people, especially once he’s built up a bond, when he’ll follow you like a shadow! He gets on well with most of the dogs at the shelter, and plays well with the female dogs, but he can be reactive around older / alpha males. We’re sure with a bit of positive training, he’ll learn to be his soppy self around dogs of all ages and sizes.

Chester in three words | Goofy little sweetheart

Chester and his sister were found abandoned in the busy area of Mytilene. They had been given very basic shelter by an old local but they kept escaping from here, causing themselves more danger around the busy roads. When a local foster carer was alerted to them, she quickly found them and took them in.

Chester is very gentle and sweet-natured. He enjoys tumbling around with his sister, going for short walks and sleeping! Chester loves cuddling and gets very excited about cuddling up to you!

He is not as outgoing as his sister, who he draws a lot of his confidence from, but with some reassurance and positive reinforcement we are sure his confidence will grow.

Chester has met children whilst out for short walks and was good with them but he has never lived with them before.

Brownie in three words | Sweet as chocolate

Brownie is part of a litter that were found abandoned in a remote area of Lesvos. All of his siblings are now adopted but he is the last one to find his perfect home.

This gorgeous golden boy (likely a Retriever mix) is a gentle character and can be a little timid with new people. He dislikes sudden movements so a home with only adults or children that are older with a calm disposition would be best for him.

Once Brownie trusts you he is super playful, cuddly and tugs at your trousers to get attention. He enjoys playing with people, dogs, running around and stealing peoples shoes – he is a cheeky little chappy!

Chico was found tied to a large boulder in the middle of nowhere. Thankfully, he was spotted by a local foster carer and taken to safety where he’s been able to blossom into the wonderful pup he is today.

Chico is a clever boy, he enjoys cuddles, playing with his toys, walking and sleeping on his back to revel in all the belly rubs!

He has a friendly and obedient nature and would make the perfect companion for anyone lucky enough to welcome him into their home!

Mabel was found at around 5 weeks old at the side of a very busy road in Lesvos with a severe cut on her side. She was taken into foster care, treated and spent her early months growing up with three little foster kittens!

Mabel is a very clever little puppy. She is playful, cuddly and has some house training. Although, this training would need to be reinforced again once in a new home in the UK.

Mabel enjoys going for walks and cuddling her kitten siblings. As Mabel loves her kitten friends, she would likely be interested in cats in her new UK home.

Sunny in three words | Ray of sunshine

Sunny was abandoned in a nearby village with her sibling and mother and they were all brought to the shelter by a local.

Sunny is a very active and energetic puppy. She doesn’t seem to tire easily, so will need long walks (when old enough) and lots of stimulation to keep her busy! She would be a great fit for an active family that are looking to adopt a small dog.

Sunny is friendly, loves cuddles and is very curious. She always wants to know what is going on and yearns to be part of the action!

Sunny is very good around the other dogs at the shelter and loves to play. She was initially nervous of new dogs and reacted to them but she has since settled.

Sunny is crate trained so it might be beneficial to have a crate in her new home.

It would potentially be beneficial for Chip and his sister, Sunny, to be rehomed together. However, we are also considering independent homes for both.

Sunny will be ready to travel from January 2020.

You might recognise Tiptoe as Tap – but after a whole year of being advertised on our website with not a single enquiry coming through, we felt that this gorgeous girl deserved a fresh chance at finding her forever family. And what better way to kick things off than with a brand new name!

Tiptoe is as gentle and quiet as her name suggests – in fact, she has a heart-achingly sweet habit of tiptoeing over to you and tucking her head into the crook of your arm for a cuddle.

She’s a placid-natured, happy little dog that adores humans, especially children. Tiptoe gets along brilliantly with the other dogs at the shelter – she doesn’t display dominance or aggression, and those around her seem to recognise her quiet, calm brand of confidence and love her all the more for it.

After being involved in a car accident as a young puppy, Tiptoe was fortunately rescued by our shelter in Thailand where she’s been able to enjoy long walks round the lush, green shelter and has benefited from the dedicated care, affection, stimulation and socialisation that this shelter offers. As a result, she is house trained, collar & lead trained and will sit on command.

But now, Tiptoe deserves to know the comfort and companionship of a family of her own. Having met her in person, we know what a wonderful pet she’ll make one very lucky person or family.

Poppy in three words | Third time lucky!

Poppy (was Sunday) came over from Greece earlier this year with her ‘days of the week’ siblings, and settled into a home here in the UK. She’s adapted well to life as an adopted pup, and has picked up her training like a pro. She now sleeps through the night and is fully housetrained, and her recall is good enough that she can enjoy off lead walks – what a quick learner!

Sadly, Poppy’s adopters are no longer able to manage owning a dog and have made the difficult decision to help find her another home. Poppy is a very friendly and affectionate dog, who will make the most wonderful companion. She’s great with people, loves meeting new visitors to the house, and has enjoyed being around her current owners’ young grandchildren. As a puppy, she can be a bit boisterous when excited as all growing dogs are, but she’s proven herself very trustworthy around little ones.

She loves playing with her toys (especially her favourite chew toys) and is great with other dogs. In fact, she would be very happy to live alongside another dog she could play with. She loves her walks and is looking for a home where she can enjoy getting out the house, exploring, and playing to her heart’s content.

Poppy is food motivated which makes her very easy to train. She’s picked up a few tricks in the short time she’s been here, and would love to keep learning. Her love of food means she can sometimes get protective over her meals and more high-value treats, but this is a trait that is common in rescue dogs as they settle into their new environment – with a bit of time and training, Poppy will learn that no one’s planning to take her treats away from her!

There’s little that Poppy doesn’t like – even the dreaded bathtime has become something she’s learned to like (well, perhaps tolerate is a better word!) thanks to her owners frequent handling. She can be nervous of new sounds, but is proving to be a resilient dog – she tends to sit and wait when she hears something that startles her, until working out that the coast is clear and carrying on when she feels safe again.

Poppy is a wonderful dog who is hoping that her next home will be forever. Could you be her “third time lucky”?

Poppy is currently living in Buckinghamshire – a meet-up could be arranged for serious prospective adopters.

Daisie in three words | Willing to learn

Originally from Greece, Daisie is now living in the UK – visits can be arranged for serious adopters.

Daisie was left at the shelter with her brother at around 3 months old and was adopted in the UK at 5 months.

Sadly, Daisie is needing to be rehomed due to her owner having some unforeseen health concerns. She is currently living in West Sussex.

Daisie is a bright, energetic and lovely dog. She is a typical puppy and is still learning, she currently knows lots of basic commands such as sit, lie down, wait and is also house trained. She will walk to heel on the lead but can get distracted if she smells something interesting – at this point Daisie can be strong and pull.

Daisie loves people and is good with children but because of her size and excitability, a home with older children would be best.

She also enjoys playing with other dogs and could be adopted into a house with another dog.

Daisie is very prey driven and therefore needs good and consistent training with recall but has the ability to pick things up quickly with positive reinforcement. As Daisie likes to chase things, she isn’t good with cats or small animals in the house.

Kelsey in three words | Playful. Happy. Inquisitive.

Kelsey is a playful, happy and inquisitive puppy. They haven’t been at the shelter long but the siblings are enjoying learning (and sniffing!) their new surroundings. Kelsey has quickly learned to love her food and playing with her toys.

Richie in three words | Quiet but curious

Richie (originally from Portugal, but currently in Oxfordshire) was found in a seriously malnourished states on the streets of Portugal with his sister. They were initially both very shy, underweight and had a very matted coat. However, Richie is now back to full health and doing great.

Richie has a quiet and submissive personality. He loves to play with other dogs once he knows them but is initially a little timid and nervous. Once Richie trusts a dog, he loves running and playing with them. Despite his timidity at first glance, he is a true adventurer, he is very inquisitive, loves to learn and is very obedient.

Richie can also be shy with new people but is gentle, kind and with some reassurance he warms up to you quickly and is soon asking for cuddles! He would be best suited to a home with older children who understand his anxieties and will approach him calmly.

As Richie has a quiet personality, he will need slow introductions to everything. He is great with other dogs and often learns confidence from the ones he trusts so he would be well suited to a home with another confident dog.

Richie’s ideal home would be in a rural environment where he can build up his confidence gradually.

Bertie in three words | Man’s best friend

Bertie arrived in the UK from Cyprus in January 2018 but found an urban environment too overwhelming. He has since been in long term foster in Leicestershire where he has made amazing progress.

Bertie has the most gentle nature and he’s a fantastic companion. He’s never chewed a cushion, he’s house trained and absolutely loves a good cuddle!

Bertie enjoys meeting other dogs in a home or garden environment, but because he finds it difficult being out and about in busy areas he can feel tense when on lead which leads to reactivity towards other dogs.

He knows basic commands and has good recall however he will need ongoing training to help him overcome his reactivity.

We think that Bertie would benefit from a home with an already established dog as he loves to run and play with them. Although he is a small dog he has bursts of energy and loves to be running about outdoors.

Bertie is fantastic with children of all ages, he loves nothing more than snuggling up with them and aside from a little playful teasing, he also gets on fine with the cat of the household too.

Bertie will be best suited to at least a semi-rural environment.

Jasper was found walking the streets with a pack of stray dogs as a puppy. Jasper was one of the only ones in the pack to survive and luckily he was rescued and taken to the local shelter.

Jasper wants nothing more than to be loved – he would lay with you all day having his belly rubbed. He is extremely cuddly and affectionate, gentle-natured and great with children.

Jasper is extremely loyal, obedient and has had some basic lead training and hasn’t proved difficult to walk.

Jasper’s favourite hobbies include rolling in mud, running around and playing with other dogs and people.

There isn’t much Jasper doesn’t like, except not getting enough attention!

Duke was found wandering in an industrial area of Bahrain; very dangerous for strays, who are often poisoned or deliberately dumped to die in these places. Duke was luckily rescued by an office worker and taken to a local shelter as a young puppy.

Duke has been at the shelter since he was young. Despite this, he takes everything in his stride and holds his head very high, always looking very pleased with himself! He was named Duke as a puppy because he looks so regal, always observing the world around him!

Duke is a free-spirited boy who would love nothing more than to run for miles through open fields of grass, something he has sadly yet to experience. He loves to walk and run and would go forever. Therefore, he is looking for an active family with plenty of open spaces for him to enjoy running.

Duke also loves splashing around in water and playing with the other dogs. When he’s not running around with his friends, he enjoys cuddling up to people and is very affectionate.

Originally from Bosnia, Medo is a big bear with a loveable personality. He is cheeky and playful and loves to carry his toys from one room to another, one by one. Medo likes to play with other dogs, but he prefers smaller playmates: he can be a little nervous around larger dogs, lying down when they approach.

Medo is a large dog, and sadly his owner had to rehome him as she couldn’t handle his size and strength on her own. Although Medo generally walks well on a lead, he can get excited and lunge.

Medo is now in foster with a professional behaviourist who is taking the time to work on the things that make Mormo anxious – he can be nervous around people he doesn’t know, and sometimes unpredictable. But with patience and support, he’s proven himself to be very loving and loyal.

Medo would be suited to a home in a rural or semi-rural area, with a strong handler. His adopter will need to have experience with dogs (ideally with rescues and/or larger breeds), and should understand the training and care needed to give a large dog like Medo the happy life he deserves.
