John, Spaniel Crossbreed - 6-months-old

John is in search of a home with plenty of dog experience.

He is a friendly and energetic pup, making him a perfect companion for someone who can provide him with plenty of adventures and mental stimulation.

He would prefer to live with a well-trained dog in his new home to help manage some of his excessive behaviours.

A secure outdoor space is also important for John to play and stretch his legs.

Lulu, Rottweiler - 2-5 years old

Staff at the centre have described Lulu as an "absolute sweetheart" who has captured the hearts of all working there,

While she may initially be a bit sensitive, once settled, she will become a lively and affectionate companion.

Lulu can live with older secondary school-aged children who are respectful of her space.

She also has the potential to live with another dog, pending a successful introduction.

Delilah, Shar Pei Cross - 2-5 years old

This pooch craves affection from her humans and enjoys finding a cozy spot on the sofa to snuggle up and snooze.

While she may be unsure around other dogs, Delilah would be best suited as the only pet in the home.

She can share her home with secondary school-aged children and would benefit from regular visits to a secure area for off-lead playtime.

Jasper, English Springer Spaniel Cross - 5-7 years old  

Jasper is ready to find a calm home environment with owners who are home most of the day.

He has previously exhibited destructive behaviour when left alone, so gradual introductions to alone time will be necessary.

Jasper can be unpredictable around other dogs, so he needs to be the only pet in the home.

Despite this, staff have described him as a "lovely, lively lad" who enjoys keeping busy and is eager to explore.

He would be best suited to live with older teens.

Snoopy, Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross - 2-5 years old 

This boy is a super affectionate lad who craves lots of attention and cuddles.

He would thrive in an adult-only home that is fairly quiet, as he can become overwhelmed by new people.

He loves his toys and enjoys playtime with his human companions.

Due to being under-socialized, Snoopy needs to be the only pet in the home.

Coco, American Bulldog Cross - 1-2 years

This beautiful girl has been described by staff as a bundle of fun who loves everyone.

She is looking for a family that is up for some training, as she is a clever and eager learner.

Coco requires someone to be around her while she settles into her new home.

She can be sociable with other dogs but may be better as the only dog due to her medical limitations.

She is also best suited for children over the age of 10.

Magic, German Shepherd Dog Cross, 6-12 months

This boy is a charming pup with a desire to learn and an eagerness to play.

He thrives on positive reward dog training and enjoys engaging in mind-active games.

Magic requires an adult-only home that can help him adjust to the world and settle into home life.

He would also prefer to be the only pet in the home, away from busy roads.
