**Available to meet in Kent video in comments**

Meet 3 (nearly 4) year old Pixie. A very beautiful dog that is looking for a calm owner with some experience with rescue dogs.

Pixie came into rescue relatively shut down and nervous but has come on so unbelievably well she is almost unrecognisable from the dog she was when she came in! In the right hands she is just going to be an unbelievable dog to own.

This girl is a fantastic lead walker, does not pull and listens to all her basic commands such as sit, come, wait etc (video in comments) Pixie is not an overly active dog - she enjoys her walks but also likes to potter around, she doesn't require hours of walking each day.

Pixie is fine around other dogs and can live with or without another dogs company. . . due to her calmer nature we don't think she would fit well with a bouncy or boisterous dog that is in her face all the time. Not cat tested but we prefer no cats for her.

This little girly is wary of anything new and will keep her distance with any new person until she is comfortable around them - she has no aggressive bone in her body but will not approach new things/people. She requires an adopter who understands to just chill out and let her do things at her own pace and not force her to accept love off new people or force her into situations too fast etc if you let her do things at her own pace and come to you when she is ready she's a pretty amazing dog to be around. Once she knows you she is full of affection and love.

Although Pixie has been ok around children we do not think she would cope with a busy.noisy home or a home with children under 9 - in an ideal world she would fit best into a relaxed, quite environment that does not have too much going on.

An adopter who has experience with nervous dogs will get an awful lot out of Pixie. She is currently in kennel boarding with our behaviourist and available to meet in Tonbridge, Kent...anyone adopting her will get full support and training from the behaviourist on how to go forward and make sure she continues coming on leaps and bounds.

Pixie is an alert barker and will bark at the door etc - she is very easily told to stop and listens extremely well to her handlers commands and corrections. Anyone adopting her will have to be ok with her initial alert bark before they thank her and tell her she can stop.

Pixie is around 15kg , healthy neutered etc

Please get in touch if you would like to come and meet Pixie, she really is a totally different dog to the one that came in and given another few months she is going to be even better...she just wants to please.

Could you be that special, calm someone that could offer Pixie a forever home?

Say hello to Kinuk,

He is around 4 years old, 25kg and 60cm tall. Kinuk is a special boy that needs an experienced home. He was brought in by dog catchers so is a very nervous boy who is scared of human touch. You will never hear Kinuk barking unnecessarily or see him get worked up. In general he spends a lot of time hiding in his small dog house. Kinuk is a calm dog and is not erratic in any way. We think in a home he can most definitely turn into a confident chap.

Kinuk has never growled or bitten, even when being taken to the vets and moved to a different run etc but his body language will make it obvious to you when he is uncomfortable (See videos - especially when he has no escape route). Kinuk is really good with other dogs and would do well in a home with a confident dog to learn from.

Please do not apply for Kinuk just because of his good looks, this boy requires a calm, very experienced and patient owner who has done this with a rescue dog before and who understands he is going to need time and space to adjust to home life - especially after being moved to a home - he will most definitely go into shut down mode and will need to be left alone to come round at his own pace. He can be cat tested on request.

It is not uncommon for dogs this nervous to flourish well in new homes as they are out of the scary kennel environment. With the correct approach this boy has every capacity to be a very good dog. We would not want Kinuk in a home with your children, we think this would be too much for him. Any adopter will also get the help of a behaviourist as part of their adoption. Videos of kink can be sent on request.

Please get in touch if you can offer Kinuk a place away from kennels where he sleeps on a wooden plank....where he can learn to grow and love. He is just crying out for some TLC. Kinuk is in our Euro shelter and ready to travel direct to a UK forever home. ... See MoreSee Less

Meet the gorgeous, calm , loving Lottie,

A cracker of a dog who is not as difficult to look after as some people may naturally assume. Lottie was found paralysed living under some pallets, sadly the vet said she would never walk again so she had both her rear legs amputated and now wizzes around like any other dog on her front two (indoors) and on her wheelchair (on walks). Lottie is great in the car, sleeps through the night well and can be left alone no problem,

Lottie is confident in her wheels and likes to go on nice long walks with her dog pals. She can cover most terrain and enjoys the outdoors. She really like playing with other dogs and would slot in well into a multi-pet home. She is also fine with cats. Lottie has met dog savvy children over the age of 7 and has been fantastic with them too. She really is a good all rounder who is calm and kind. She can be a real love bug too who enjoys a lot of affection. She is good with greeting strangers on walks but in the house can for a few moments be a bit reserved until the treats come out 🙂

Lottie has no health conditions and is a fully insurable dog. She wears human baby nappies inside as she is incontinent so can drip urine. The only work she requires health wise is making sure she urinates - this is done by gently rubbing a wet wipe over her private area in the garden three times a day and this makes her urinate - this is all she requires with her disability (she poops for herself). Every other part of her is just like having a regular dog! You do not need to be a master dog owner to have a disabled dog you just needs some time, patience and know how ! - adopters will get full support from the rescue on the phone 24/7 for any help with these kinds of things.

If you are interested in Lottie and would like to have a chat with one of the team do give us a call on 0800 002 5052. Adopters are welcome to also come and meet her in Birchington, Kent.

Say Hello to the handsome Orion,

A 5 year old chap who has been unseen in kennels for a while. People do not seem to notice him. Orion spent 2 year living as a stray in a builders yard being fed by the builders until they decided they didn't want him there anymore and put him in a kill station. He came in with his buddy who sadly is no where near as confident as Orion.

This fella is good with other dogs and like the company of people, given a bit of training and settling in time we think he is going to make someone a smasher! Orion is 20kg (not as big as he looks on photos) and would slot well in an active home.

He requires an adopter with the time and patience to settle in and train a rescue pooch. Adopters need to remember he has never been in a home before so will need lots of guidance and boundaries when it comes to adjusting to home life, especially when it comes to visitors. He is in our Euro shelter and ready to travel direct to a UK forever home (there are no travel restrictions). This dog, given the correct owner will make a really terrific companion for someone.

Please get in touch if this is the chap for you !

**Available to meet in Essex**

Meet Elsa,

A really kind calm, soul who would so love a place to call home. Elsa is currently in home foster in Essex and has come on leaps and bounds. Although naturally a little shy with new things she is generally a well rounded dog.

Elsa is good with children and other dogs and have proven herself to be ok with dog savvy cats in foster (with correct introductions on the lead)

Elsa is a medium but wide girl and weighs 30 kg ,she is around 5-6 years old and 50-60 cm tall. Elsa can walk on a lead. She was originally found on the streets so will require an adopter with some understanding she still needs a bit of patience with new things and needs to take things at her own pace.

Her foster says : she is just lovely. A really gentle soul. Walks really well on the lead (no pulling), no destructive tendencies, a bit shy but very willing to meet people and dogs. Loves walks and affection, just now starting to show a playful side. And an outstanding, very cute and entirely natural Mohawk!

This girl requires a raw food diet as her skin gets dry and itchy on anything else as well as some joint supplements (she was a little stiff when coming into rescue so we want her to carry on receiving that little added help).

Please get in touch if you think Elsa is the right girl for you. She is in Essex and available to meet.

**Available to meet in Mabelthrope, Lincolnshire. Can be transported anywhere**

Meet Tobi & Minnie, a super friendly bonded pair that need to stay together. Both cats adore humans and a good lap to curl up on. They are well rounded cats that will make someone fantastic companions. They sit and cuddle each other all day and love a good fuss from a human too

Both cats are between 4-5 years old and are house trained. Minnie is slightly more independent than Tobi - Tobi likes lots of fuss and attention! Unfortunately, the owner was left them by an ex partner and he can no longer give them the time and attention they need. These two can live with other cats. They are totally fine being picked up and handled too. You really won't find a lovelier pair.

If you feel you can offer thee two a forever home please get in touch with our team. Both are chipped, neutered and up to date on their vaccines.

We would like to introduce jack to our supporters 🥰 Jack saves up his pocket money to buy our rescues treats and toys and regularly comes to give them some TLC. Every animal jack meets takes to him right away...even the shyest of Dogs. Genie in particular has been having a hard time of it recently with her medical issues and today jack gave her the best Morning she could have wished for. We would like to thank Jack for giving his time and love to those that need it most ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
