Big Bruce
DOB: April 2022
Sex: Male
Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier x Mastiff
Size: Medium
Energy level: High
About me: Bruce can be shy in new environments at first, but once he settles, his energetic, playful, and friendly personality quickly shines through. He’s a strong boy who loves attention and simply being around people.
Cats: No.
Dogs: He would prefer to be the only dog in the home, but would benefit from further socialisation with other dogs outside the home.
Children: 15 years and over.
Ideal home: Bruce is looking for a home that can continue his training and provide plenty of walks, stimulation, and affection. He would suit a home where he won’t be left alone for long. Bruce is very strong and can pull on the lead, especially due to his high prey drive, so he’ll need an owner confident enough to handle his strength.

Delta
DOB: November 2021
Sex: Male
Breed: Greyhound
Size: Large
Energy level: Low
About me: Delta is a handsome hound who may be shy at first, but he soon becomes inquisitive and friendly with everyone he meets.
Cats: No.
Dogs: Delta currently finds interactions with other dogs overwhelming so will need to be the only dog in the home. He would benefit from socialisation with other dogs outside the home.
Children: 12 years and over.
Ideal home: : Delta will need owners experienced with sighthounds or other high-prey-drive breeds. He would love a quiet home where he can relax and enjoy life away from the track. He will need engaging but easy-to-manage walks, along with plenty of comfort and companionship.

Sparky
Age: Approx. 6 years
Sex: Male
Breed: Patterdale Terrier
Size: Small
Energy level: High
About me: Sparky is an active boy who – once he knows you’re his friend – is incredibly affectionate and loving. He’s very intelligent and a fast learner. Life hasn’t always been kind to Sparky so he can sometimes find the world a little overwhelming. More than anything, he is looking for a place where he can finally feel safe, secure, and loved.
Cats: No.
Dogs: No.
Children: Adult only (or 16+ if dog-savvy).
Ideal home: Sparky needs an experienced and committed home with patient owners who are around most of the time and willing to help him build confidence at his own pace. In the right home, we truly believe Sparky will become a loyal and wonderful companion.

Size: Small-Medium

About me: Charlie is everything you’d expect from his breeds, with bundles of energy and a fun-loving personality! He is a friendly, playful, and happy boy who loves a game of ball and would make the perfect adventure buddy.
Cats: Pending assessment, but potentially.
Dogs: He could potentially live with a very calm resident dog after several successful meets here at the shelter.
Children: 10 years and over (or 8+ if dog-savvy).
Ideal home: Charlie would love a home where he can enjoy fun (but currently easy-to-manage) walks, plenty of playtime, and lots of mental stimulation to keep his clever mind busy.
