If you are regular visitor to our website, you may feel you are seeing the same dogs again and again. The dogs on the first page have been with us the longest and you will see them each time. The ones new to us are on the last page. We’re sure there is a dog for you there.
Please note: The description of each dog is based on the foster carer’s latest report. As the dog settles it may be changed. For example, you may apply for a dog listed as a single dog to be told they now need a home with another dog. We keep the descriptions as up to date as we can. Please email us if you have an enquiry about a specific detail in the description. This may save you the time in doing an application. We also accept the application forms of other groups to save you having to redo the same information.
