Lovely Toby is only 16 months old, he was an unclaimed stray in the pound and although his owners were located and aware of Toby's whereabouts they did not claim him. Toby is a very friendly & affectionate boy, good with children and seems to be ok with other dogs he’s met. He has lived with cats but would need to be a confident cat for him to live with.

Adoption subject to home check and 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, 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

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 NOW HOMED)

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 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.  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.

Archie 

Archie arrived at the Sanctuary after his family were unable to keep him. He is 3 years old, a Rottweiler cross, he has been ok with other dogs previously & possibly could live with a large female but ideally would be the only dog. He hasn’t been tested with cats & because he has had a lot of upheaval including a time in kennels which he found very difficult, he can’t be placed with cats or smallchildren. He knows his basic commands and is well behaved & friendly. Archie is quick to learn and has no current behaviour concerns but needs to have firm boundaries set by an experienced human. Archie is staying at the Sanctuary but would much prefer a foster home whilst he waits for his forever home. Adoption subject to homecheck and adoption fee

He has been to training classes and likes to show off his skills! He does not chew or destroy things except his toys. He is good with other dogs, except during his class! Adoption subject to home check and 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.

Ace

Ace is a 7 1/2 year old very petite black female with a fleck of white on her chest.  

I’m fairly nervous and easily scared. Fast movements make me scared. I like to wander around and can be quite aloof, I’m an independent moggy you see. Occasionally if the urge takes me I may surprise you by wanting a cuddle on your lap, I may not look like I’m enjoying it very much but you will hear me purring. I don’t like it when them peoples try to stroke me and I can’t see them, keep them hands where I can see them please and if I do allow you to pet me I like long slow strokes please, I have my glossy black coat to keep neat. I love to clean and be clean, I happily toilet outside or in a nice clean litter tray. I have this thing in my neck which apparently tells them peoples who I am and where I belong if I get lost. Biscuits are my favourite and I like some meat in that Jelly stuff. I don’t really like meat in that gravy very much. My favourite flavour is chicken. I dream all day long about those stick treats, any variety, they make me sooo happy. I hear the human with that wrapper when I am gardens away and I go running home and climb the humans leg to get to those stickies, they are the best but they just don’t last very long. I also like potatoes, the human looks at me funny when I hover and she is peeling potatoes, she laughed a lot when I stoled and ate some. They taste so good. I loves a scratch post, I don’t scratch the furniture at all, it’s just not the same as my post. Also, the human has this stuff they call cat nip, it makes me go funny and I like to play with my toys a lot when they have cat nip stuff sprayed on it.  I don’t like loud noises and that thing the human pushes around the floor that makes a load of noise is horrible. The lady human tells the man human he doesn’t use it enough, I think she calls it a hoover. Really fast moving things make me jump. I have only ever lived with big humans and cats, I don’t know about small humans or other animals. Adoption subject to home check and adoption fee.
