Dogs Currently Requiring Rehoming

If you are interested in any of the dogs mentioned below, please contact us via the email link under the dog’s write up, full details and updates are available on our facebook page.

ARLO

Arlo is an neutered black and white four year old boy who is in need of a new home through no fault of his own. He has been extremely well trained by his owners who love him dearly but have come to realise that their busy home with young children is not the best fit for Arlo who is wary of loud chaotic spaces, unexpected noises and fearful of children. He would be far happier in a quiet, active home with owners able to continue his training.

Arlo is fully house trained and is used to being in a crate although doesn’t use one currently. He can be left for up to four hours and is not destructive although he does love to destroy tennis balls and soft toys if they contain squeakers. 

Arlo is an active dog who loves training and multiple activities such as swimming, agility, flyball, scent work and being out in the forest. His current family members have a boat which he is used to going on and enjoys. 

 Arlo is a typical SWD in that he is wary of unknown people and does not like to be touched by them. He barks when visitors come to the door but will settle and choose not to interact unless they instigate play with a toy.  He does not like other dogs in his face especially if they are bigger than him and entire males. He can be redirected with a ball if he needs distracting to move on from situations which may potentially make him uncomfortable. 

 with many of this breed, Arlo dislikes having his feet touched. He is used to being groomed by a groomer and his current owner and, although shy, accepts being handled at the vets.

Arlo is an affectionate dog who enjoys cuddles with those he knows. He is extremely intelligent and loves to learn and will make a great companion to someone able to provide him with a quiet, calm environment and routine with no children.

TINO

Tino is a big gold neutered eight year old boy who is sadly being rehomed due to the death of his owner. He is currently in the care of our partner boarding kennels, missing his owner and needing someone to bond to.

Tino is a loving affectionate boy who enjoys attention from people he knows. He is typically guardy and vocal when meeting visitors in the home but settles once they are in and sat down.

Tino is housetrained and crate trained. He can be left for up to five hours in his crate. He walks well on a gencon lead but needs recall training. He is anxious of other dogs and joggers/people on bikes when out and will react with barking and lunging if they get too close. Tino finds visiting the vets and groomers stressful and is muzzled in these situations.  He will resource guard items he values. His new owners will be required to work these issues and SWDR will provide support for this. 

 Tino is motivated by chews and treats. He likes playing with latex toys but will destroy and eat them. He loves to be digging on the beach and enjoys playing in water and retrieving balls from it but does not swim, preferring to paddle. He has had rally training in the past and enjoyed it. Returning to this would be a great way to build his relationship with his new owner, strengthen his basic skills and build his confidence.

Tino has lived with a teenager but is wary of younger children. He is also wary of cats. He would prefer an adult only home or one with teenagers. A rural home with a secure garden and access to a secure field where his recall can be worked on would be ideal. 

 Tino is a lovely boy who desperately needs a new owner to bond to. He will make a loving companion in the right home.
