PLEASE DO NOT SEND APPLICATIONS IN FOR THESE DOGS. THEY ARE NOT FOR ADOPTION AND ARE SEEKING, OR HAVE ALREADY BEEN PLACED WITH, OTHER RESCUES AS STATED ON EACH PHOTO.

The dogs and cats on this page are some which we feel we are unable to rehome directly to the public for various reasons.

It may be that they display health issues that we are not able to help with or behaviour issues that require further training from more qualified professionals. They may also be pets that have been placed in homes by ourselves and have since displayed characteristics that mean we cannot place them in private homes again.

It is important to stress that these animals are not at risk whilst with us and will remain so until we are happy that they will be going somewhere more suitable.

If you run, or work for a recognised rescue group and feel you can help then please get in touch by phone (01942 671215) or email ([email protected]) Please note, that by enquiring you consent to us researching your organisation for our own edification, prior to releasing any animal.

DOGS PREVIOUSLY PLACED WITH RESCUES

: PLACED WITH SILVER FOX RESCUE 29/3/18 ‘Harvey’ 12 year old Yorkshire Terrier. Harvey was originally looking for a home as his owner passed away. He has been adopted but had to be returned as he became dominant and snappy. He would benefit from a home with one owner who is familiar with this type of dog and behaviour and ready to deal with this. He will not be rehomed with under 16’s. He was adopted to a single person home and apparently showed dominant aggression in that home also so is now seeking rescue. He has been well behaved with all the staff here.

: PLACED WITH RESCUE REMEDIES 2/4/18 ‘Tess’ 7 year old Female Patterdale Type. Originally a stray history/habits unknown. Tess maybe a little bit older but she is still full of life. She still has a lot of energy and loves to play. Tess has been to a home but had to be returned after several weeks as she suddenly took a dislike to one of the other dogs in the home and they had a fight. She appears to have had some training and performs basic commands and is clean in the house when settled. She is now seeking rescue as she was returned to us a second time, it was reported she had bitten so cannot be privately homed by us. She has been good natured with staff whilst in our care.

Nervous with new people fine once he gets to know you, will not be rehomed with children under 16 years old.

: PLACED WITH DORIS BANHAM 7/6/18 ‘Frank’ 3 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Frank didn’t settle in his new home as he appears to suffer separation anxiety and was being left for long periods. Because of this he has not been fully housetrained. He can’t be placed with other dogs or children.

: PLACED WITH DORIS BANHAM 19/06/2018 ‘Kayra’ 2 year old Female American Bulldog. Originally a stray history/habits unknown. Kayra is very wary of new people once she has gained your trust she is fine, for this reason she will not be rehomed with children under 16 years. She has been food protective so she does need to be handled with care. She’ll need an experienced owner who has the time to work with her. As her food orientated aggression has progressed we feel we can not rehome her now.

: PLACED WITH DORIS BANHAM 19/06/2018 ‘Teddy’ 2 year old Male Shih Tzu. Come into us as landlord won’t allow pets. Will not be rehome with children has been quite snappy at times with us, we appreciate this is more thank likely due to the fact he is in a strange environment with people he is unfamiliar with, but this behaviour can also not be ignored. Since his arrival Teddy has bitten someone and will now be looking for a rescue place.

: PLACED WITH DORIS BANHAM RESCUE 5/7/18 ‘Missy’ 3 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier type. Missy has been rehomed but has had to be returned as she was biting. Despite being well behaved with staff we could not take the risk of placing her in another private home.

: GONE TO RESCUE ‘Milo’ 5 year old Male Greyhound/Lurcher. Milo was adopted from the Home but unfortunately came back to us as he was nipping people. We have not seen this behaviour here but because of this new information we will not be able to rehome him with children.

: GONE TO RESCUE ‘Robbie’ approximately 4 year old Male Greyhound/Lurcher. Robbie came to us as a stray so unfortunately his background is unknown.

Does not like to be left at all will need someone with him all the time.

: GONE TO RESCUE (FREEDOM OF SPIRIT) ‘Ben’ 6 year old Male Collie Cross. Ben came into us due to his owners ill health which meant they were no longer able to look after him. He was adopted but had to be returned as the lady found him quite boisterous when he settled. He is quite a nervous dog with new people so will not be rehomed with children under 14 years.

: GONE TO RESCUE (Wonky Pets) ‘Pickle’ Approximately 3 year old Shar-Pei, castrated male. Pickle was a stray so his background is unknown. We have found him to show kennel-guarding behaviour but has behaved when out of the kennel and let the vet examine him without any issues. However, we feel he should not be homed with children and needs an owner with experience of dogs with this behaviour.

: REUNITED WITH HER ORIGINAL OWNER ‘Cass’ 10 year old neutered female Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross. Cass was a stray so her background is unknown. She is a friendly girl and seems dog friendly as well. She has a couple of age-related issues – there is some clouding to her eyes but she still sees well, and she has a few small lumps under her skin but the vet has advised that removal is not currently required.

She has been to a home but had to come back to us as she didn’t settle and wanted to be with someone all of the time. Out of the kennel she is a friendly girl, if a little timid at first but she has shown guarding behaviour during her time with us so will not be rehomed with children under 14 and is best suited with someone who has experience with this type of dog.

: GONE TO RESCUE REMEDIES ‘Stanley’ 4 year old Male Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross. Stanley came to us as a stray, so his history & habits were unknown. He has been to a home but had to be returned as he became protective over people and would not get on with other dogs. He is very energetic and does get over excited.

She has been with us in kennels for a little while and has been good natured with staff here but we don’t know what her background was before arriving with us. She has been to a home but had to be returned because, although she was fine with their other dog during their introductions here and when outside together, Roxy tried to dominate the other dog in the home and she got a bit carried away. As a result of this she will not be homed with other dogs in future. She did appear to have been housetrained and was friendly with every person she met.

Rocky is completely blind so would benefit from a home with someone who has had blind dogs before. Rocky has been a friendly boy whilst he has been here. He likes walks but can be a little scared at first due to his lack of vision. Rocky cannot be rehomed with anyone under 12.

: GONE TO RESCUE 09/07/20 ‘Bruno’ Approximately 8-9 year old castrated male Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross.

: PLACED IN RESCUE (TRUNDLEDOWN) 16/10/20 ‘Julie & Judy’ 2 female medium sized Cross breeds. They are mother and daughter and have always been together so we would like a home where they can be kept together. Julie (the sandy one) is 10 years old and Judy (the grey one) is 8 years old.

They have been with us in kennels for a little while now and we have found them to be pleasant natured and still quite spritely. despite their age!

: PLACED WITH RESCUE REMEDIES 11/3/21 We are no longer taking applications for ‘Bruno’ 2 year old Male Patterdale terrier. Bruno came to us as a stray so his background is unfortunately not known. He will be castrated prior to going to his new home. He may need house training and would benefit from some behaviour training. He does not get on with other animals, which is fairly typical of this breed if not addressed early on, so this will need to be considered when it comes to going for walks, meeting friends with dogs, etc. He is looking for a home without very young children and where there are no other pets.

: PLACED WITH ALL ANIMALS RESCUE AND REHOME 11/3/21 ‘Pendal’ 3 and a half year old neutered female Russian Sheepdog. Pendal is looking for a new home as her owner’s wife was unwell and they were finding her too boisterous. She is good natured but can be quite boisterous so will need a home with plenty of space and a strong owner to exercise her! She was adopted but had to be returned as she was displaying protective behaviour over a particular family member, as a result of this we would prefer a one owner home or a couple with experience of this type of dog. She will not be homed with children.

: 14/3/21 PLACED WITH SENIOR STAFFY CLUB

: 14/3/21 PLACED WITH SENIOR STAFFY CLUB

: PLACED WITH JLP TRUST ANIMAL RESCUE 27/3/21 ‘Ted’ 6 and a half year old Castrated Male Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Ted is looking for a new home because he had recently shown his teeth to the youngest child and his owner had lost their trust in him. He was adopted from us 6 years ago and they’ve had no other issues during this time. Ted arrived with a reasonable amount of fur loss on his back, which is likely due to an untreated flea allergy and should re-grow but may need further investigation if there is no improvement. Because of his history we will not rehome him in a home with children.

: MARCO Large Male Bull Terrier cross, approximately 5-6 years old. Have info to say he was used as a guard dog before being picked up by wardens. Has exhibited guarding behaviour here but can be very friendly when out of his kennel and he gets to know you. Needs an experienced Bull rescue really.

: PLACED WITH PRE LOVED BORDER COLLIES 18/10/21 ‘Merle’ 8 year old Male Border Collie. Merle came from a home where his owner had passed away and he had been neglected for some time. He had a severe flea infestation, has some fur loss and was quite underweight. He has clearly not been well socialised and is quite nervous. He would benefit from having an owner familiar with collies. Unfortunately he won’t be considered in a home with children.Merle deserves a kind loving home

: SUCCESSFULLY PLACED 24.1.22 ‘Sidney’ 10 month old castrated male Spaniel Cross. Sidney came into us as his owner was finding him too much. He is a young, lively dog but good natured. He would suit an active home with someone who can be at home all day, at least initially, to settle him in. Has been adopted but unfortunately had to be returned as Sydney was being possessive over toys and the general area he is in eg. if he’s on the couch.

: 19/4/22 PLACED WITH TEAM PAW This is Shilo – he is a 12 year old Jack Russell. Shilo is looking for a home as his owner has sadly passed away. He has cataracts and a Grade 3 Heart Murmur but still gets along quite well. He has lived with another dog.

: 5/5/22 PLACED WITH GREENACRES RESCUE

: PLACED WITH GSD ELITE 31/8/22 ‘Glyn’ approximately 4 year old Male German Shepherd. Glyn is looking for a new home as he was abandoned by his owner. Because of the circumstances we don’t know what his background is unfortunately. He is not keen on other dogs so would need to be an only pet and this would need to be taken into consideration when thinking about places for exercising him. He is friendly with staff but we would not be able to consider homes with young children.

: 29/10/22 TO ALL BULLIES RESCUE ‘Bronson’ approximately 2 year old male American Bulldog. Bronson was a stray so we do not know his background. He was dirty and thin when he was found so he may be used to being outside or have been out for a little while. We are looking for a child free home for Bronson. He is quite friendly with adults and he is now castrated. Unfortunately Bronson is not well socialised with other animals so he will need a pet free home.

: PLACED WITH RESCUE 20/4/23 ‘Reuben’ 9 to 10 month old Male German Shepherd. Reuben needs a new home as his owner sadly passed away. Reuben was offered to rescue place only but the vet has said he can be offered for adoption on the understanding that he has quite pronounced hip dysplasia and his new owner will have to be aware that he will need a sensible exercise regime and although he gets around fine at the moment and has no sign of osteoarthritis setting in at this point, this is something that may well become an issue as he gets older and will likely need medication and affect his mobility. He would be ideally suited to an experienced Shepherd owner and if you have experience with this condition, even better. He has been good natured with staff and is bright and lively. He would benefit from some training.

: TO RESCUE 27/6/23 ‘Blondie’ 9 year old Female cross breed (medium sized). Blondie is looking for a new home as her owner sadly passed away. She has been well tempered with staff here and is a pretty ‘steady’ girl so we have no restrictions on her new home at the moment.

: TO GEORDIE BULLIES RESCUE 26/10/23 ‘Louis’ 6 year old castrated Male British Bulldog. Louis came to us as a stray so his background is not known. He has a markedly overshot lower jaw, but other than this appears in good health for his breed. The staff have found him to be well tempered in his time with us, but he is a typical boisterous Bulldog so homes with very small children would not be appropriate.

: 31/10/23 TO FOSTER VIA DANE LINE INTERNATIONAL ‘Amaya’ 2 and a half year old female Great Dane. Amaya came to us as a stray so her background is not known. She is very friendly and playful but obviously she is a very big dog so would only suit homes with plenty of room and experience of larger breeds such as this. She is quite thin but there are no obvious issues on her health check so this should improve in time. Although she is super friendly we cannot consider homes with very small children as she will knock them over!

: RESCUE PLACE SECURED ‘Tia’ approximately 11 year old Female Staffordshire bull terrier type. Tia came to us when her owner became unwell and she has now sadly passed away. Poor Tia is a lovely girl who has spent a long time in kennels now and just wants a nice home to spend her last few years. She has age related issues such as dirty teeth and a bit of arthritis, but is still quite lively.
