Please note that all adoptions are subject to a home check and an adoption fee



Tansy

Adorable Tansy is an 8 year old Patterdale terrier who came in to our care when her previous owner was no longer able to care for her. She is now searching for a loving retirement home. Tansy is still an active girl who likes going for walks, but she needs to stay on the lead while out. She gets along with other dogs, so long as they are large and male! She is not quite as keen on small dogs. She may be able to live with a calm cat. Tansy is not used to children, but could probably live with older, sensible children in her new home.  She is used to having company most of the time.  If you are looking for a dog with real terrier character, please contact us!  Adoption subject to homecheck & adoption fee..











Yogi

Yogi is a very handsome semi coated male German Shepherd born on 9/08/12 so currently 17 months old. He is fantastic with other dogs, and children from as young as 2 years old. He travels well and is house trained. He is fed on Arden Grange food as when he was a puppy some foods upset his tummy, though he has since had bits of other food and been fine. He loves chewy toys and treats. Yogi would prefer to live with another dog as he has never lived alone. Yogi is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date with his flea and worm treatments. He does have a left hip dysplasia and is currently on treatment for this. Sadly due to ill health, Yogi's current owners have had to make the very difficult decision to re home him. Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee.





Max


Max is a really friendly 2 year old male long legged Jack Russell Terrier. He's a happy boy, very waggy. Fine with most other dogs, but not cat tested. He has been rescued from being put to sleep in the dog pound. He is used to older children but cannot be homed with young children. Max is in need of a foster home whilst he looks for his forever home & is currently staying temporarily in the Buckingham area. Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee

Rosie lived with children and cats & seems fine with the cats at the Sanctuary, she is bit overawed by the resident Sanctuary dogs! Rosie is currently staying at the Sanctuary. Adoption subject to homecheck & adoption fee 










Jessie & Minnie
urgently need a new foster home or preferably a permanent home

Jessie is a very beautiful 12 year old Rough Collie. Sadly her owner has passed away and she needs to find a quiet home with her companion Minnie, a pretty tortoiseshell cat who is around 11 years old and has spent the last few years as a house cat. They are currently staying in a foster home in Banbury. Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee.

Here is a message from their current fosterers - Two sweet old ladies who need a quiet home to retire to with people who like to cuddle as these two are real cuddle monsters! While they have been with us Jessie has changed from a very sad old girl with a tail that did not wag as she was grieving for the loss of her owner, to a cheeky funny and very loving old girl, she does not bark (only at a lawnmower apparently) but squeaks at you when she wants something which 9 times out of 10 is another cuddle. She enjoys short walks on the flat and plods along happily with short spurts of speed. She likes to great everyone she meets 2 legged and 4 – the 2 legged ones she leans into their legs and looks up into their faces – how can anyone resist (no-one has so far) She will wait if someone is behind us in the park for them to catch up so she can snuggle in and say “hello”.  Mini stayed away from us for the first few weeks, but now she is as affectionate as Jess, when you say her name, she makes very cute noises and reaches out her tiny little paw to touch you. She seeks out company in the evening and likes to sit on a lap in front of the TV. Mini is the boss in the relationship and rules with a tiny but firm paw. They sleep at night face to face noses almost touching......beautiful animals inside and out.



Marty

Marty is 18 months old and is a very friendly and playful young Staffie who is also good with other dogs. He is currently staying at kennels near SpaldingAdoption subject to home check and adoption fee.





Toby

Lovely Toby is only 11 months old, he was an unclaimed stray in the pound and although his owners were located and aware of Toby's whereabouts they sadly did not claim him. Toby is a very friendly affectionate boy, good with children and seems to be alright with other dogs.  Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee.









Shadow

Shadow is a male German Shepherd cross approximately 18 months old. He is a lovely boy who will make a very loyal and lively companion. He is currently staying in a foster home and is getting acquainted with their cat. He is very intelligent and obedient, responding well to basic commands. He can live with older children. 
Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee. 







Popeye


Popeye is a 5 year old Jack Russell Terrier, he is looking for a new home due to his owner becoming too ill to care for him.  He is not used to children or being left alone for any amount of time.  He seems ok with other dogs but would probably prefer to be an only pet, he is not used to cats & seems quite interested in those at the Sanctuary so cannot be homed with any.  He is currently staying at the Sanctuary but urgently needs a foster home where he can stay until he finds his new forever home.  Adoption subject to homecheck & adoption fee.






Snoopy

Snoopy is a black lab, possibly a cross. He's been with his previous family since he was a puppy and will be 8 in February. He is a lovely friendly dog, very loyal and very house trained too. He has not had much experience with cats to live with but does like to chase them if he sees them whilst walking so unlikely to be able to live with one.  He is good with children and likes lots of fuss and attention although he is also happy with his own company as likes to sleep, (though he does snore!!)  When he first meets someone he gets a little over excited but after about 10 minutes he settles down and gets to know his surroundings. He doesn't chew things but does have a habit of stealing cuddly toys as his baby and taking them  everywhere with him, (even for a wee!) He likes regular walks and loves to be around people. Is very good off the lead and is well trained.  He's good with other dogs, has stayed with terriers and other Labradors in the past. Has never lived with another dog though this would be unlikely to be a problem.  In the past he's has a skin allergy, this was really most common when he was a puppy and hasn't flared up much since. He is currently staying in the Buckingham area. Adoption subject to homecheck & adoption fee.




Izzie

Izzy is a very sweet 18 month old Staffie who has come into our care from the pound having been saved from being put to sleep. She is a lively playful girl and does need some work on her training. She would be best suited as an only animal as she is not too good with other dogs and not to be homed with cats. She is currently staying in kennels near Spalding, but urgently needs a foster home or permanent home. Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee.








Skipper

Skipper is thought to be around 2-3 years old and is a very affectionate Staffie. He has had a rough time judging by the sores and bald patches that were on him when he came into our care. Remarkably he is still an incredibly loving little dog. He is good with people and other dogs but probably not cats. Ideally he would prefer to be the only animal. He is currently staying in a foster home in Northamptonshire. Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee.







Luke

Dolly
Dolly is a very sweet and affectionate 2 1/2 year old Staffie cross.  She is alright with other dogs but not cats. She does need a calm environment with no children or other pets where she can readjust to family life with someone who is willing to work with her on her training. She is very agile and would make an excellent agility dog or would enjoy playing fly ball. Dolly is currently staying at the Trust but desperately needs a foster home while she finds her permanent home. Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee.






Holly & Penny

Holly is a 14 year old Spaniel and Penny is a 4-5 year old Boxer cross. They are both neutered, vaccinated and chipped. Their current owner is having to work long hours and feels that it is unfair to leave them on their own for such long periods of time. They are not yet in our care & we are in urgent need of a foster carer in order to be able to help them., we would ideally like them to stay together, however due to their age gap it is felt that they would cope with being separated if necessary.





Archie

Archie arrived at the Sanctuary after his family were unable to keep him. He is 3 years old, good with other dogs, but gets agitated with young children. He seems ok with the cats that he has met at the Sanctuary. He knows his basic commands and is well behaved & friendly. Archie is currently staying in kennels in the Spalding area, he really doesn't cope well in kennels so would appreciate a foster home whilst he waits for his forever home. Adoption subject to homecheck and adoption fee






Ralph


Ralph is a crossbreed, thought to be around 8 months old, a lively friendly boy who does need some work on his training, for this reason he can't be homed with small children, he seems ok with the other dogs at the Sanctuary but is not thought to have previously lived with any other pets.  Adoption subject to homecheck & adoption fee.





Amber

Amber is a 12 month old Collie cross. She is a lovely friendly dog, who gets on with cats and other dogs, and responds to commands so can be left off the lead. Amber urgently needs a permanent home with someone very special to care for her as she is blind. This does not bother her as she soon gets to know her way around. Amber is lucky enough to be staying in a foster home in Towcester.  Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee.

Archie is currently staying in kennels in the Spalding area. Adoption subject to home check & adoption fee.




Tania


Tania is around 3 years old & was rescued from the streets of Romania, her street dog background does need to be considered & behavioural support is available. Tania has been in a foster home since her arrival in the UK but has presented problems living with another female dog, with careful introductions she may be able to live with a submissive male, although at this point her adjustment to life in a home would be aided by her being the only dog. This is what her current foster carer has to say about Tania & the home that would suit her "House trained (but of course will need care in a new home until knows the way out). We have left her for a few hours without any incidents. Brilliant on a lead - walks nicely without any pulling and waits to go through gates/doors Easy to train around the house - first got onto the sofa but immediately learned that was not what we do in this house and uses a dog bed on the floor. Happy to stay in the garden for a while enjoying the breeze Very little barking both in the house or garden Does not chew anything - in fact does not use toys Food - is not at all fussy but we keep it very simple with dry sensitive dog food twice a day and no extras as her stomach is easily upset. Coat very easy to keep clean - we just brush her about once a week. Initially a groomer reduced her fur considerably but we now just use a stripping tool. Age - more like 3. On walks always happy to meet other dogs and very friendly although initially a little whining. Recall - much improved especially in the garden as she got used to her name. Initially we did not let her off at all on walks as she is used to hunting for her food, but now we do let her off in fields with fences round and she trots along quite nicely with us using treats. Could do with some training in this area to be able to let her off all the time especially in woods. Children - very good and steady so no wild tearing around knocking them over. Tania is a lovely natured dog who will fit in perfectly with anyone who has a little time to train her more fully. She could also suit an older person as she does not pull. Adoption subject to homecheck & adoption fee.




Fudge

6 Year Old Fudge has recently come into our care after being given up by her family, we don't yet know much about her, but she cannot be homed with children.  Fudge is currently staying in kennels in the Spalding area. Adoption subject to home check & adoption fee.

Tirry (right)

Tirry



Tirry is around 3 years old and came into our care after being rescued from the streets of Romania She is a very loving dog who just wants to be cuddled and touched. Attention for her is everything be it good or bad. She isn't aggressive to people, but does jump up, so can't be homed with little people under the age of 8. She is living with another dog in her foster home, but he is very submissive and just wants to play. She can be aggressive with other dogs when out walking, in Romania she would have had to fight for her place and it is likely that is what she is trying to do here. She would be better more suited in a home as an only dog, or with a male that would be submissive/no threat to her. She is about to start some socialisation classes to help her with this issue. She is not at all bothered by cats and is generally just interested in food!
Tirry has sustained an injury to her back legs at some point before she came to the UK, she has had some hair loss, likely through the stress of her travel & therefore the scars can be seen, it does not seem to trouble her in any way.
Out and about Tirry is really good on the lead. She'll just trot quite happily beside or just in front of you. Tirry is currently staying in a foster home near Banbury while she finds her permanent home. Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee.
