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.
FRIDA
Frida is a very special 10-year-old Spanish Water Dog looking for a quiet, understanding home where she can enjoy her next chapter at her own pace.
Her owners adore her and describe her as a clever, affectionate and a wonderfully characterful girl. They are now facing changes in their circumstances and, with great sadness, have made the decision that finding Frida a new home is the best thing for her.
Frida is an intelligent girl who loves learning when there are tasty rewards involved. She knows sit, stay, come, paw, spin, roll over and several other tricks,
Frida's idea of a perfect life is not a busy one. She is much more relaxed in quiet, rural surroundings than in busy towns. Out in the countryside she can switch off more easily, enjoy her walk and be herself. Her owners feel she would really thrive in a quieter environment, and the behavioural assessment supports this.
Frida does need an understanding home. She can find unfamiliar people difficult and can be worried by strangers approaching her. Her first response can be barking and lunging, particularly when someone enters her home or gets too close when she is on lead. Once she has had the opportunity to decide that someone is safe, however, she can settle and be comfortable around them. She can be left home alone for short periods and is not destructive in the home.
She is sensitive about being handled, particularly when it comes to grooming. She dislikes having her paws handled and grooming can be stressful for her. She has previously threatened to bite during grooming, so she currently wears a muzzle for this. Her future family will need to be comfortable continuing sensible safety measures and working at her pace. Frida's boundaries are important. She needs people who will listen to her rather than expect her to tolerate things she finds frightening.
Frida has had positive experiences around dogs and has attended day care and kennels, where she has been able to walk happily alongside groups of dogs. However, she can also react and lunge towards dogs when out on lead. This has improved over the years, but it remains something that needs to be managed. For this reason, we are looking for a home where Frida can be the only dog.
Frida is looking for an experienced, adult only, rural or semi rural home where she can enjoy peaceful walks and scent enrichment activities. A home that will give her space and understanding to allow her to blossom and for her loving, quirky personality to shine.

OTTO
Rehomed
Otto is a 3 year old neutered male, he is in need of a home without young children. He has mild resource guarding issues with food and has a fear of bracephalic dogs (Like Boxers, Frenchies, Staffies) after a few incidents when he was young.
He is a fit and healthy dog that would like a job, he will require mental stimulation as well as regular exercise. His basic training is not very good but he is very intelligent and will pick it up very quickly if trained appropriately. He is house and crate trained and has spent time in a caravan on holidays.
ARLO
Rehomed
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.
