Tansy (TANSY IS REHOMED)

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! Tansy is lucky enough to be staying in a foster home in Bicester. Adoption subject to homecheck & adoption fee..











Yogi (YOGI IS NO LONGER LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME)

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 ON HOME TRIAL)


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.

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










Jessie & Minnie (JESS & MINNIE HAVE NOW MOVED TO THEIR RETIREMENT 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. If anyone gets the chance to meet him he will be going home with them - he's a charmer and so sweet . Keen to learn and sharp as a button - he just wants to please 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.

Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee. 






Snoopy (SNOOPY IS REHOMED)

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 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 first arrived 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 where he has progressed hugely both physically and behaviourally & he is now ready to find a forever home to call his own. Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee.







Luke

Luke was an unclaimed stray in the pound who has been saved from being put to sleep. He is a handsome 1 year old male Blue Brindle Staffie cross.

He is currently staying in kennels near Spalding, but urgently needs a foster home or permanent home. Adoption subject to a home check and adoption fee.






Dolly
Sweet Dolly is about 3 yrs old; spayed, vaccinated, chipped. Lovely sweet and affectionate Staffie Cross, seems fine with other dogs but not trusted with 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 flyball. Dolly adores playing anything with a ball! Here is a short video of Dolly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdmRyQZWceg
Dolly is currently staying at the Sanctuary. Adoption subject to homecheck & adoption fee. 






Holly

Holly is an English Springer Spaniel and is 15 years old although she and everyone else thinks she is 5!!! She currently lives with Penny, however due to the age gap it is felt that they would cope with being seperated & have stayed in seperate places before without any problems, for holidays etc. 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.  A beautiful dog who needs not a lot of care by way of love and affection but not by way of walking due to her hips being less able to stand for the springiness that a spaniel likes to show off!! Although Holly is 15 she is in good health as per her recent vets visit. She is great with children and adults alike, doesn’t jump and happy to be around other dogs or by herself with the humans. Great on and off the lead and when able to loves to swim and fetch. Holly has never lived with cats. Adoption subject to homecheck & adoption fee.





Penny (PENNY IS RESERVED)

Penny is a 5 year old Boxer Cross. She currently lives with Holly, however due to the age gap it is felt that they would cope with being separated & have stayed in separate places before without any problems, for holidays etc. 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.  Penny loves to cuddle……all the time….but is also happy to sit elegantly with her legs crossed to let you know she thinks she’s royalty. She gets excited by the door going and does like to bark at it when knocked on however  does not bark at anything else. She does however like to talk to you occasionally with a little wolf howl (almost like Scooby doo!) Penny is good off the lead and will come back when called and clapped at. She has a tendency to run after a bike or a runner so she can run alongside them! Altogether a beautiful, human almost dog with a need of a family to love, cuddle and take her on long walks.  Whilst Penny is good with children, she does have a tendancy to jump so would suit a home with teenage children. Penny has never lived with cats. Adoption subject to homecheck & 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.
