Archie

Archie

Archie is a 3-4 year old Doberman cross Rottweiler who was signed over to the rescue as his previous owners were unable to keep him. Archie is a highly intelligent dog who will require lots of exercise and stimulation. He is very friendly once he knows you but can be wary at first. Once trust is established he loves affection and TLC. Archie has been walked with many dogs at the rescue but would be more suited to living as the only dog in the home. A home with no children is a must for Archie as he needs a calm environment where he can build his confidence. He is a favourite amongst the staff as he has such a great character. A great boy who just needs a little bit of time to get to know you

I am interested in this dog

Barry

Barry

Rottweiler, black & tan, 4-5 years old, MALE

Origin - came to us as a stray
Energy level - high to very high / frequent exercise needed
Behaviour - friendly / affectionate / boisterous
Training - sits / waits for food / good on the lead
Other dogs - aggressive / excitable / unpredictable/ has been socialised with some dogs
Cats - not tested
Children - no indication

Barry is a very impressive Rottweiler. He loves to bound around our paddock here. Recall is very good. He laps up fuss & chest-rubbing attention : ) He gets bored so he needs to be kept stimulated. He likes to run for a ball or stick or bar though not necessarily to bring them back. His only vice seems to be his behaviour around other dogs becoming highly excited and sometimes vocal with it - and a highly excited, bouncing around Rotty is a challenge for any handler. So anyone attracted to Barry would have to be aware of this issue and be willing to put in some behaviour-fixing time with him. Otherwise, he is such a likeable chap.

Barry is not available to rehome at the moment due to working with our behaviourist

Branwen

Branwen

Dalmation, white / black markings, 3 years old, FEMALE

Origin - signed over / change in owner circumstances
Energy level - high / frequent walks and outings essential
Behaviour - Needs a careful owner
Other dogs - Dislikes
Cats - Ignores
Children - Not to home with children

Branwen was returned to the rescue due to unpredictable behaviour in the home. She has lived with a teenager, but we would advise not to be re-homed with children. We are looking for an experienced owner with knowledge of this breed. With the correct handling/training and excercise, Branwen will make a great addition to the right person.

Clyde

Clyde

Bullmastiff, tan or sandy colour, 5-6 years old, MALE

Origin - came to us as a stray
Energy level - high to very high / needs plenty of out-time
Behaviour - very friendly / strong on the lead / giant tough guy
Other dogs - barks at and pulls towards but not always / not tested close-up
Cats - very alert towards so may wish to chase
Children - no history / risk of knocking over toddlers (him being so big n all)

Meet Clyde. He's a large full-of-life Bullmastiff. He bounds around our field like the lord of the manor. In his aloof way, he doesn't seem to crave fuss as much as other dogs do but is very observant and inquisitive. He loves to play and pounce on thrown or kicked balls but gets bored so you'd probably have to work a bit harder to keep his interest. He's also very clean in his pen. He's been here before and weighed around 40kg. Back then, he was claimed by his owner and now here he is back with us unwanted but nevertheless as outgoing and seemingly confident as can be. He's lost some weight so we're trying to build him up. Even so, Clyde's still all muscle and can be very strong on the lead and more-so when cats are around or he's passing cows in fields so you'll have to be willing to work with him in that department. He's hugely likeable but he'll need a big-dog lover - someone who has experience of these breeds to help them cope with his big character.

Clyde/Chester

Clyde/Chester

Clyde-Chester is a gorgeous Akita who was returned to us through no fault of his own. He is a tad older but he is the most sweet, affectionate and friendly boy who always looks like he is smiling. He is loved by all the staff and volunteers and has huge instant appeal. His previous adopter advised he is housetrained, good with other dogs, has lived with cats and although not lived with has been around small children. He is very overweight so any new owner would need to stick to his diet and build up his walks starting with frequent short walks. Such a fantastic dog looking for a home to make his last years his best.

Goldie/Davinia

Goldie/Davinia

Goldie is a German shepard cross with possibly a Lab. She has previously lived with another dog however she is not very friendly with most that she meets so a home on her own would be better, She has just had a lump removed from her back that was of no concern but she will be better for it. Due to her age we are looking for a home with good walks but not to much as her back hips are struggling on long walks but this could also be due to her weight as she is slighly over her best. She will make a lovely companion with many more years left she just needs a loving home.

Kelly

Kelly

Kelly is a seven year old German Shepherd cross who was very nervous when she first came to us. She has now grown in confidence and welcomes affection although can be a tad timid at first. She enjoys playing with other dogs, but would be more suited living as the only pet as likes her own space. She would prefer a quiet home with older or no children. Otherwise, a fairly placid lady who will enjoy regular walks.

Max 2

Max 2

Max is about 4-5 years old (we think) rottweiller. He is a handsome affectionate boy. Max isnt suited to the first time dog owner, he needs someone who can devote time and attention to him. He will need a high level of exercise and training but with this in place he will make a fantastic loyal dog. We feel a home without children would better suit Max due to his lively energy and occasional mouthing.
