They are looking for their forever homes this Christmas
There are an estimated one million dogs in the UK waiting for adoption this year. Following the Covid-19 pandemic, organisations such as Dogs Trust and Blue Cross issued advice to those looking to adopt a four-legged friend, reminding people that they are for life.
Shadrach Shadrach is a 12-year-old Shar Pei Cross. He is a male dog with ongoing medical care required. Dogs Trust says: "His home will need to be calm and peaceful with minimal visitors and with a secure private garden. He needs a consistent routine so living with children or other pets won't be suitable unfortunately, but in time he will be able to have walking buddies out and about. A keen interest in dog training and the patience to slowly help a dog blossom into their best self would make you a great match for Todd.
Dogs Trust says: "He can be worried by new people, but he is easy to introduce. He is timid around other dogs and prefers to avoid them if he can. He will need to be walked in quieter areas where he can fully relax and enjoy his time out and about. He travels well though so won't mind being driven to quieter areas. He'll need a private, secure garden so he has somewhere to play off-lead.
Dogs Trust says: "Like any typical Collie, Archie is rather noise sensitive so needs to live with adults only in a calm household in a peaceful location away from traffic. He'll need his own secure garden to play in. He doesn't enjoy unknown people visiting his home so a home with very few visitors, and none at all during his settling in period is vital.
Dogs Trust says: "He won't be able to be left initially as he doesn't like being alone. You will need to let him settle in at his own pace and slowly look to build his confidence around being left. He is best walked in quieter areas where he won't come across many unfamiliar dogs. A secure garden will be needed as he likes to have somewhere to explore off-lead. Children over 16 years old will be fine if they are confident around playful dogs.
Dogs Trust say: "She will need someone around all the time during her settling in period. She will also require a secure garden so she has somewhere to play off-lead." Dogs Trust say: "Cheeka is a real snuggle monster and adores relaxing on the sofa with her favorite humans. She isn't fussy though and will happily make a big fuss of everyone she meets. She is happier in familiar places and her true personality shines through so a good routine and a less adventerous owner who is around all the time would suit her fine."
Dogs Trust says: "He could live with a calm dog and has previously lived with cats. He can live with children 10 years and older, but will happily spend time with visiting children who are younger. He would like his new owners to be around initially but then should be able to be built up to a few hours."
Dogs Trust says: "We are looking for a super special home for Edie due to her nervous character. Her home needs to be a calm and predictable environment with adults only and no visiting children. Very few visitors in general as she struggles with unknown people. She is worried by other dogs too so cannot share with any other pets.
Dogs Trust says: "He has been through a lot of change recently. Once settled he should be ok left for a couple of hours. Foggy will need to be the only dog in the home as he can be too OTT off lead however, he can have walking friends." Dogs Trust says: "You'll need to visit him a few times at the centre to build a proper bond but once he's comfortable there's no stopping his friendly and playful approach to life. He’ll need a secure garden to play off lead and he’ll be fine with kids over 16 who will enjoy having an active and loving dog around."
Dogs Trust says: "He’s a sensitive soul who is easily unsettled by noise so needs a calm and quiet home in a peaceful area. He is worried by other dogs and unfamiliar people, so his home must be adult only with no visiting children and few visitors generally and he’ll need to be the only pet." Dogs Trust says: "He doesn't enjoy being around children, so he needs an adult only home, in a peaceful area. Although he can make some walking buddies out and about, he doesn't like to share his home so needs to be the only pet. Larry does have a sensitive tummy so will need to be fed on a special diet which our vet will discuss in more detail."
Dogs Trust says: "Louise’s owners will need to be able to continue her training to build up her confidence around other dogs so she can interact better with dogs on her walks in the future. Louise will require up to five visits at the rehoming centre before she goes home, so she can get to know her new family."
Dogs Trust says: "He is a lovely, friendly boy with the people he knows but can get quite overwhelmed by strangers so needs a quiet adult only home with few visitors. Max is not good at sharing and can be protective around his food and other items so this needs to be managed carefully in his new home."
Dogs Trust says: "You'll need to be confident around strong dogs as she often forgets her own strength. She needs quite a specific home which is not open plan with adults only and no other pets. She won't be able to live next door to another dog and must have her own secure garden with at least 5ft fencing."
Dogs Trust says: "Poppy is fine seeing dogs out and about, but she would prefer to be the only dog in the home. Poppy has shown signs of separation anxiety and will cry and bark when left, even for very short periods, so she will need her new owners around all the time for a long settling in period."
Dogs Trust says: "He is fine around other dogs but he will settle best as the only pet for now. He's quite a big, leggy boy so young kids won't suit him but confident over 14's should be fine. He has a history of being housetrained but may need a little refresher as he settles. He'll need someone around all the time until he's fully settled into his new home and routine.
Dogs Trust says: "Rosco doesn’t like stairs so he needs either a single-storey home or a house where he can access everything he needs on one floor. Adult only home / children over 14 as at his age, Rosco needs his quiet time. Must be the only dog in the home. Knowledge of the Bulldog breed would be preferable."
