Dog success stories

This is Kiki. His birthday is 25 October 2011. So he is 7 years old. He is also German Shepherd sized. He is just like Blackie - handsome and kind and loving to the 7 year old daughter of the lady who runs the shelter. He is totally devoted to Blackie who he met on the streets and they play together at the shelter in Romania. He is fine walking on a lead. Totally dog and human friendly. He has never met a cat. These 2 lovely dogs are due in from Romania. They are good with other dogs and love each other. We would be delighted to see them adopted together as they are close, but we can't always achieve this with medium/large sized dogs. They would certainly appreciate the company of another dog. They have waited a long time for this chance of a new life. Should be available to view on 7th. Please get in touch if you may be interested in them
NO negative comments please. Phoebe's owners have done everything we could possibly have asked them to do to settle Phoebe in to their home. We have no criticism of them and respectfully ask you only to comment if you can offer Phoebe a home. She is 4 years old. She will be back with us on Thursday 6th September. Our beautiful Phoebe. It’s with the heaviest of hearts that we are returning Phoebe to the Sanctuary. She is our world, and if we could keep her forever then we would. But she doesn’t like guests in our home and being a young couple with family and friends visiting regularly we just can’t practically keep her. It must make her feel scared when people come round and since she’s gained confidence in the home, her fear shows itself in displays of aggression towards visitors. This isn’t fair on her when people visit regularly. She needs a family that don’t have visitors very often, who can make her feel safe and secure. She has made so much progress outside the house that perhaps in the future her fear aggression in the house could subside. She’s also worked with a behaviourist who is confident that in time she could learn to be calmer when guests visit. We wish we could dedicate months/years to this training but given our lifestyle and future plans as a young family, we just don’t have the opportunity to do so. As you’ll see from the pictures, Phoebe is so loving and affectionate to those she loves and trusts. She has such a funny personality and adores a tummy rub more than anything! She was a Romanian rescue living in kennels for 2 years before coming to the UK and meeting us; she has waited a long time to have her tummy rubbed and she deserves nothing more than a quieter home where she can get them endlessly without fear of people coming in and out. She is house trained and can be left in the daytime without chewing anything or becoming distressed. She loves a squeaky toy and can also sit, give her paw and lie down for treats (we taught her this so it shows that she is capable of learning!). Our behaviourist has written reports which will be provided to the Sanctuary and he is also happy to aid in the rehoming process. Please, if you can give Phoebe the forever home that she needs, with a quieter lifestyle (and pet free), please give her a chance. My heart breaks to write this but I know she could be happier with another family and that’s all we want for her.
This is the beautiful Nikita. She is still finding her feet and is a little bewildered after spending a long period in police kennels. The behavioural expert who assessed Nikita stated, ‘Once settled she is playful and sociable just not very brave". This lovely Husky girl is 8 yrs old and has been a much loved family pet, however, due to an incident that was not her fault, the court decided she should not be returned to her home and her owner agreed to sign her over to us for rehoming. She has been through a lot and now needs a calm kind home without children, where she can regain her confidence. Can someone with knowledge of her breed please give her a chance, she really does deserve. She is wary of strangers so will take time to get to know you, but once she trusts you she loves to play with her toys with you. Her kennel looks like a toy shop. She is immaculately clean in her kennel too. Please consider Nikita
Denzil is a 2 year old Staffie/Whippet who came to us from the pound in August. He got adopted in September having passed his cat test, but has now decided he won't live with a cat so he has had to come back to us. The cat was there first and they have given him a good amount of time to settle in. "He loves big walks to the beach & woods. He plays nicely with my older boys (7&8) too boisterous for younger children. Good with dogs on walks, overly keen to play with horses. Getting much better for toilet training. Like you to go outside with him for this (panics if the back door closes behind him & leaves him outside alone). Good being on his own whilst at work if radio is left on & toys available. No good with cats at all. Cuddly with me & my eldest boy but too dominant with the younger two. Goes happily in his create when the children are eating." So if you have an active home with or without other dogs, without cats and children 10 and over to be absolutely sure it works out for him this time, please come down and see him.
Wow, just how gorgeous is this face! Rebel is a stunning 1 year old Malinois boy who has come into us for homing through no fault of his own. Rebel needs an active, ideally Shepherd-experienced adult owner, who will commit to the ongoing training and stimulation he will require in order to help him grow and learn. Rebel is typical of his breed so is very intelligent with lots of energy, which means he has tons of potential for a kind knowledgeable owner who will commit to giving him their time and guidance. We will be carrying out our own assessments, but Rebel has lived happily with a cat as you can see from his photos. Please contact us if you think you might be the perfect forever home for this lovely friendly young boy who we are sure will bring years of happiness to the right owner.

Rubi is a beautiful 5 year old red staff cross, she has come in via the pound. Rubi has been seen by the police and is NOT a banned breed but what she is, is a loving, pleasant, cuddly gorgeous girl inside and out. She is spotless in her kennel and brilliant in a home she stayed with her transporter overnight and was no bother, she also travelled well in the car. She walks perfectly on the lead and seems fine walking near other dogs too But does need to be the only pet in the house. Rubi can live with sensible older children.

LAWSON STOP PRESS Lawson wants a pet free home. We have now tried to introduce him to several dogs but he is just not keen at all. So he would like a retirement home on his own. We desperately want to see these dogs adopted and back in a home. Oldies shouldn't be in the kennels. We especially want to see Lawson and Lucas adopted together as they really love each other. We are not asking for standard adoption fees for these dogs. Our priority is to see them adopted. They are by donation only. Please come forward if you can offer them a home. We think Lawson and Lucas are about 10-12 years old. We think Lenny is about 8. Thank you. Tracey x

My name is Charlie. I am a 12 month old collie cross springer spaniel. I am a friendly active youngster seeking an adult home with or without other dogs, I have also behaved well around cats. I can be nervous meeting new people but I'm easily won around with a tasty treat or two! I was adopted a few days ago but sadly I came back the next day as my owner was allergic. The Sanctuary are desperate to see me in a home as I am becoming stressed in kennels.
Mura was in a shelter in Romania. She is about 3 years old. She was originally found abandoned in the car park where one of the rescuers parks her car in July 2016. She was approximately a year old then. She is a friendly girl. She should be available to view on 11th. Please get in touch if you may be interested in her.
