Rescue dogs are rarely perfect; they will all need Time, Patience, Understanding and ongoing training regardless of their age. Rescue dogs take time to adapt to living in a home environment and learning your expectations, this doesn't happen quickly in most cases. Rescue dogs need stability and an understanding that they will need time (At least 3 months) to settle, gain confidence and trust.

DOGS AVAILABLE NOW TO ADOPT
Bonnie ♥️Available for adoption
Bonnie is a one year old spayed Romanian rescue pup. Bonnie is being re-fostered following a six month adoption which didn't work out through no fault of her own.
Bonnie is as wild as she is loving! She's a high energy pup who has thrived with our 3 dogs. She loves company, both dogs and humans, but she needs to understand she is not in charge and doesn't own the humans and can't always be the head of the pack.
Bonnie needs continued training but knows "sit" and her recall is coming on nicely. She is fully toilet trained, food orientated and so willing to learn.
We feel Bonnie would be best suited to a home with another dog or two who won't let her become boss. She would also be suited to a home with older children who can assist with training and offer consistent levels of affection and understand when she needs to be left alone/given time to calm down.
She has been left for up to 5 hours with the company of other dogs. She hasn't been crate trained by us. She is cat friendly but interested in sniffing and following them when she's feeling playful so any cats must be experienced with living alongside dogs.
Bonnie adores human affection and is a cuddly and loving pup. She quickly becomes attached to people and she must be reminded she doesn't own them. Her love knows no end and she's been the most adorable and precious house guest.

Latte💙Available for adoption
Originally from Spain, this gorgeous Pointer boy is thought to be around 7yo.
Unbelievably, he's been in his UK Foster since January he loves his home comforts, foster siblings, and is an absolute joy to be around.
Pointers are known as velcro dogs, and Tay is no exception, always wanting to be where you are and cuddle you . He sleeps in the lounge overnight but always comes running in for morning cuddles
He can now do a couple of hours alone after he's tired out but prefers people around most of the time. This will need to be built up gradually in his forever home.
He loves his walks and is an active boy suited to a rural or semi rural environment with one long or two shorter walks a day. He's also goes on 3-4k runs a couple of times a week and loves it.
He's currently on a long line or secure fields due to his strong prey drive, so this will need to be considered. Knowledge of the breed or working/hunting dogs would be required to get the most out of this beautiful boy!
great food drive and outside engagement
super loving and cuddly
can be left for a few hours after a walk and food
great around other dogs
microchiped, flea and wormed, clear blood work and fully vaccinated
full rescue back up
no cats, birds or small furries as he has a high prey drive (no exceptions)
no resident children under 7, he has a fantastic temperament but is an opportunist with food and we don't want any accidents with small people eating around him permanently
Tay is in Foster in Southampton and ready to meet his forever family who want to give this boy the best life after a tough start.

Reggie 💙 Available for adoption
Reggie is a 18 month old bundle of joy with a heart full of love and a very excited tail.
Small in stature (just 15kg and 40cm at the shoulder) He has been neutered and is ready to leap into his next adventure: finding his forever home.
Reggie enjoys his cuddles, strokes, and climbing into your lap for some quality bonding time, which is well balanced with the time that he loves spending on his own and sleeping the day away.
Reggie is house-trained and has excellent manners indoors.
He’s lived harmoniously with cats and currently thrives in foster care alongside another female dog.
Reggie blossoms around other dogs, especially calm, confident companions who can help guide him as he continues to build trust and confidence. He’s not clingy or destructive when left alone and is happy to chill at home while you’re at work, especially with a dog walker popping in.
Ideally hed live a female doggy companion but its not essential for the right home as long as he is socialised with other dogs.
Out and about: Reggie loves his walks and is generally great on the lead. However, he can be a little reactive on the lead when passing other dogs – not out of aggression, but from a place of insecurity.
He’s made great progress but he will need some further training. We have met friends dogs off lead in a secure field and he has loved running around with them!
No children under 12 yrs of age.
Preferably a resident female playful dog but happy to discuss levels of doggy socialisation if yo be an only dog.
Reggie is clever, sensitive, and eager to please. He’ll thrive with an experienced owner who understands that training is ongoing.and Reggie thrives on routine and boundaries.
Someone patient, consistent, and kind will help him grow into the confident, joyful dog in his new home that we already know and love.
In return, Reggie offers: Unwavering loyalty, shadowing you throughout the house, and the kind of companionship that makes every day brighter. He’s ready to give his whole heart to the right person or family – could that be you?
Due to Reggie's nervousness of new people he will need an adopter local enough to have several meets

Patty ❤️ Available for adoption
Poor Patty is still waiting, Patty is beautiful short legged mixed breed female
she is 9 months old, Blood tested, vaccinated and microchipped.
Only 13 inches high from floor to shoulder and weighs 12kg, even though she has little legs, she has a long body,
Patty is a sassy fun loving girl who's confidence has grown so much and has come on a long way since arriving as a scared shut down pup,
She is still shy and unsure of new people, shh will take a little while for her to get to know you, but once she gets to know you she is your shadow,
Patty loves to be near you and will follow you around and will happily cuddle up with you on the sofa, but also happy to sleep in her bed,
She will make the perfect companion for someone,
Lead walking is going so well and she's gets excited when it's time to go out and will sit to have her harness put on and does not pull to get out the door and will wait outside door while you shut it, she is doing great with traffic going past her and crossing main roads and will wait at roads,
She still pulls a little especially if she sees birds or squirrels, but we are working on distracting her and to ignore, does not care if it's raining and will happily have a coat put on her to go out, she loves to be dried off and will have her paws washed out wiped.
House training is 99% clean, with the odd accident once in a while, but will use the puppy pad if she does need to go,
Sleeps on dog bed in my room on window and sleeps all night, but will come up for little cuddles if she wants.
Knows sit, down and learning give paw, Crate trained
Loves her food and treats, she is on a raw and kibble diet, as food motived really helps with training
Can be with another dog or be an only dog (as long as someone is around most of the time )

⛔ No cats
Patty will need some time to settle and get to know you, but when she does she is such a loving fun girl,
She is a very laid back puppy that knows to have down time and will happily sleep for hours after a walk, but also loves a play when she's awake especially with balls
If left alone by herself she can whine and cry for a while, but is fine when left in her crate with other dogs around, so leaving her alone would need to be continued if to be an only dog
She can be homed with older children who will give her time to settle and to get to know them

Marnie ❤️ Available for adoption, foster or foster with a view to adopt
We are looking for a special foster home or even better a forever home for our lovely Marnie. Must be local to Southampton to do a few meets.
Marnie is an amazing girl who we all adore.
Marnie was brought to the UK as a puppy more than 5 yrs ago and adopted and then was sadly surrendered back to the rescue nearly 2yrs ago and has been in kennels ever since.
Marnie is coming up for 6 yrs old, has spent a third of her life in kennels and deserves better.
Marnie was labelled as "dog aggressive" which is most definitely not the case, having spent a long time in private boarding kennels not mixing with other dogs at all; since spending time with us at our own kennels; she spends hours daily playing, socialising and taking walks with lots of different dogs mainly male dogs. She can be very choosy who she likes when it comes to female dogs and she's not keen on puppies jumping all over her but most older dogs are acceptable for this mature lady.
Now Marnie is the most loving dog you'll ever meet once she knows you and trusts you. She is particularly fond of women and although she takes treats from men when she gets to know them she can still be visibly worried about men so for this reason we feel a female only home would suit Marnie.
Because of her anxieties around strangers/particularly men she needs a home where if her female handler has visitors then she simply goes away in her safe space. Its really not hard to manage if people are sensible.
Marnie will give a women companionship for life, she will adore you.
Marnie is 100 percent housetrained, walks beautifully on a lead (prefers quieter walks, no built up, busy areas) and will keep you company on the sofa all day long if allowed.
Marnie is a very special dog who just needs the right person to give her a chance.
We would keep her at our kennels forever as we all love her and she us but she deserves her own nice warm home and cosy bed where someone will understand her, love her with her quirks and keep her safe.
A couple of walks a day, nice food and lots of love and Marnie will be forever yours
There must be the perfect female only home out there for our special girl.
We want this super little lady out of kennels.
Marnie can be an only dog for sure but we do want her to continue socialising with other dogs as this has really helped her.

Albie 💙 Available for adoption
Meet Albie, one precious boy rescued from Botosani public shelter.
Albie is just a puppy, 9 months old, he has been neutered, fully vaccinated, blood tested and microchipped
Albie is like a little polar bear, a bundle of fluffiness.
Albie is not used to human interaction and touch so needs a very understanding and patient home that will give him the time he needs to learn to become a happy, trusting companion.
He is not aggressive but does show fear if people push him too quickly because he's missed out on a normal puppyhood.
Albie is doing so well, he loves his toys and is super playful, often amusing himself by throwing his toys around and retrieving them. To see him showing his happy and playful side is so rewarding.
He will not be going out on walks for a long while yet so a garden for him to run around in is essential. He is house trained and takes himself to the door when he needs to go out.
He is great with all other dogs and definitely needs the help of a confident resident dog.
🔺Albie requires a young child free home
🔺Must have an enclosed garden
🔺Experience of nervous dogs
🔺Dog and cat friendly
Albie didn't have a future stuck in the overcrowded public shelter, he was living in fear every single day. Now he is beginning to learn that life can be fun. Its so wonderful to see.
Are you the person to give him an amazing future?
Current location Southampton.

Bruno💙 Available for adoption
Bruno is a 5 month old, sweet little guy who is doing his best to be a puppy - he arrived a nervous broken down little soul, 2 weeks later he is starting to show what a cheeky boy lies inside. He is likely to be a medium to large size when fully grown.
Bruno has been vaccinated, microchipped and blood tested prior to travelling to the UK
He loves food and a toys, and has found the garden a fun place to be.
Toilet training is ongoing, but he does use a puppy pad at the back door if we don't get there quick enough
He is happy with the harness but not so much with a lead, so slow introduction to a lead will be needed.
He enjoys the company of our resident dogs and he would definitely benefit from a dog in his new home to help gis confidence.
Due to his nervous nature it will take him a little while to really relax but we truly believe he will make a fantastic dog to any family
Dog savvy children of 8 years plus would be best alone to Bruno still being a bit nervous.
Bruno is looking for a home with a patient and understanding family that can allow Bruno some time to gain confidence and blossom.
He will benefit from all the usual puppy training and ongoing socialisation.
