Dogs Available For Adoption

We have 48 dogs in kennels at the moment. Please note, not all of our dogs in kennels are online for adoption. We are looking for rescue spaces as they have some behavioural issues and need a little retraining.

 

Here are the dogs that are available and are waiting for that special someone. All our dogs are vaccinated and we home check before adoption.

For home checks please text your name and address to Maxi’s Mates Mobile 07507104636 

 

TRIGGER

Age: 4 / D.O.B: 01 May 2019 / Breed: Lurcher Collie Cross / Sex: Male / Neutered

Trigger

Playful / Walks well with a harness / Loves playing fetch / Very friendly with people once he gets to know you

Trigger came in 19/1/21and it’s sad to see he’s still with us after all this time. He is a loving and smart dog with a great personality. He loves to play and enjoys the company of humans but needs to build up a relationship with other dogs before trusting them while out. Trigger would be better suited to a home without other pets or young children. He would enjoy an active home with plenty of walks and even some running. He would love a jogging partner!



 

CHESTER 

D.O.B: March/2018 / Breed: Lurcher / Sex: Male / Neutered / 4 years in the centre

CHESTER

Loves humans / Prefers to play in the garden over walks /
Enjoys playing / Loving Nature

Chester loves to play, but needs a home without children as he has a few issues with sharing his toys and guarding them. He also doesn’t get on with other dogs as he has had a hard life and can be very reactive when out and about. For this reason Chester is muzzled on walks and when around other dogs, but don’t let that put you off. He is charming and sweet, and not to mention beautiful. He really could do with someone giving him a second chance at finding his forever home. He would love a home with a large garden to play in choosing that over stressful walks anyday! Poor Chester has been with us since 3/3/2019. He really needs someone to give him his chance at a forever home.

 

 

 

ALAN

Age: 6  / D.O.B: 20/7/2017 / Breed: Lurcher / Sex: Male / Neutered

Alan

Everybody loves him / Very cute / Super friendly / Fantastic Friend

Alan came back to us on 14/9/22 after being adopted for 3 years. He is so loving and kind, he will be your best friend and bundle of joy. Everyone loves him here at the centre and everybody would take him if they were the right home but we are not. He has some trouble with sleep startle so a quiet safe place to sleep would be needed in his new home. He has some resource guarding and would prefer a home without other pets and children, but with the right owner and training he will make a great pal to a single owner preferably. He is such a sweet dog but his other side due to fear has to be handled by someone that understands him. He will melt your heart.

 

 

 

RORY

Age: 4  / D.O.B 28/7/19 / Breed: Lurcher / Sex: Male

Roxy

Loving & Kind / Enjoys quiet walks / Likes treats 

Rory came in 28/7/19. He is lovable and attentive once he gets to know you and can make a great addition to a quiet home. He would prefer a home without other pets and children, but with training but with the right owner and training he will make a great companion. He loves his own space and is happy sniffing around our paddocks and relaxing on his bed.

 

  

MANNY

Age: 3 / D.O.B:  2/11/20 / Breed: Lurcher / Sex: Male

Manny

Likes his food / fun personality / playful

He originally came in as a stray 2/11/23 so we do not know much about his history.

Manny is quiet and lovely to walk with other similar breeds but he is unsure of bullbreeds and can bark at them.

Manny likes his food too much so we think he would get possessive over it with another dog and therefore would be best being the only pet in the home.


 

 

BAILEY

Age: 8 / D.O.B: 1/1/13/ Breed: German Shepherd / Sex: Male 

Bailey

Very playful/ Lots of life in the old dog yet!

Bailey came in as a stray 18/5/22.

Don’t let his age fool you. Bailey runs up and down the paddock like a young dog. He loves to play with the ball, dropping it at your feet to throw again. 

He is an excellent house dog who will let you know if anyone knocks on your door. Such a nice nature his bark is bravado. Bailey is looking for a companion he is very smart.

 

 

 

BULLY 

Age: 5 / D.O.B: September 2018 / Breed: Greyhound / Sex: Male / Neutered

Bully

Likes his food / loves people 

Bully is a retired racing Greyhound from Sunderland Stadium and he came in on 20/11/22. His racing name was BULL RUN BREXIT. 

He is a little nervous of other breeds living such a sheltered life with only Greyhounds to mix with. So this means that sometimes he can be anxious and can be reactive and bark at other breeds. He is making progress at this.

He is such a lovely dog and walks lovely with other Greyhounds. He always greets you at his kennel door and loves treats. As do all the Greyhounds




 

CASSIDY

Age: 2 / D.O.B: July 2021 / Breed: Lurcher  / Sex: Male 

Cassidy

Likes his runs in the paddock / loves human company  

Cassidy came into kennels on 8/7/23 as a stray with a severely broken leg which couldn’t be repaired. He had to have the leg removed and did so in a foster home. Cassidy loved being in the home and adapted to it very well as he also has adapted to using three legs. He bounders about the paddocks; it does not hold him back at all. The fur has grown nicely and he is a very loving dog to humans. He needs a home with older children as he is very bouncy and could knock a smaller one by accident. Cassidy needs to be an only pet. He can be reactive to other dogs and he needs a home that someone is around as he doesn’t like to be left alone for long.

 

 

DICKY

Age: 5/ D.O.B: Feb 2018 / Breed: Bull Lurcher  / Sex: Male / Neutered

Dicky

Cheeky personality / loves treats/ sniffs on walks

Dicky has been at the centre for a while now, since 5th February 2019. He is a cheeky chap, very mischievous and playful in the paddocks. He loves to sniff everything on walks and he is a lovely dog to walk as long as it’s quiet. He can be very reactive with other dogs but Dicky is muzzle trained. Dicky is ok with some dogs, he has had friends to walk with but the majority he doesn’t like. He needs someone who likes walking in more remote areas although he has been less reactive on trips to the beach so with training and bonding with his forever human we are sure he will improve. There will never be a dull moment with Dicky in your life. He is very fun loving and an interesting character, never boring! He is waiting for that special person to give him the chance he’s been waiting for for so long.

 

 

HAZEL

Age: 2 / D.O.B: Nov 2021 / Breed: Crossbreed / Sex: Female 

Hazel

Very smart / highly trainable

She came in to the centre as a stray on 24/11/23.

Hazel is very smart and has been trained previously by someone as she knew a lot of basic commands on arrival. She is very bouncy and needs some guidance to rein this in. Hazel also does not like other dogs and will be reactive to them when outside. She is still young herself but in the right hands she will be a fantastic companion. She will need a child free pet free home. 

 

 

SANGO

Age: 2 / D.O.B: 30/10/21/ Breed: Malinois / Sex: Male 

Sango

Very clever / taught to do tricks / highly trainable

He came in as a stray 30/10/23.

This breed is not for everyone but for the right person he will be perfect. He is loyal, smart, trainable, and very active. We have seen he has been taught tricks by his previous home before he ended up as a stray. He would love a job and could be a working companion as well as a companion in the home. Sango has settled in kennels and is not destructive like we have seen with other Malinois before. He is adoptable and will make someone a fantastic friend.

 

 

 

DIESEL

Age: 4 / D.O.B: 1/10/2019  Breed: Staffy  / Sex: Male  Neutered 

Loves the garden / loves long walks in remote areas

Needs an experienced owner Diesel is very unhappy and nervous in kennels. 

He has lived in a home for a few weeks on 8/1/24 and feedback is he can’t be left for too long. He loves the garden and loves to play. 

Diesel prefers walking in quieter areas as he doesn’t like too many other people or dogs around. He can be fearful of loud noises and this can affect his confidence he is fine on a one to one basis. 

 

 

   

TILLY 

Age: 6  / D.O.B: 28/12/2017 / Breed: Cane Corso / Sex: Female / Neutered

Tilly

Loves her toys / loves people / house trained

Beautiful big friendly girl who loves people and attention so much. She loves playing with her toys and loves cuddles. Tilly is a big strong girl so she will need someone to match that when walking her, although a halti does help. Tilly doesn’t like other dogs so distance needs to be kept when out walking. Tilly loves nothing better than bringing her toys to you so it would help if she had a garden to play in. Tilly also has an ongoing problem with her ears, all would be explained on adoption. She settled in really well in a home she even lets you know when she needs to go out for a wee. Her adoptions have failed through no fault of her own. Amazing girl just needs the right home. She is adorable and a firm favourite with staff and volunteers.

He  likes other dogs, especially hounds or Lurchers, he would not like to be rehomed with small dogs or cats due to his instinctive chasing background. Matt has never been lucky enough to live in a loving home, but with a little retraining all of our rehomed Greyhounds settle quickly into home life. Matt is a really lovely boy who has been waiting patiently to find a family of his own, he will make a lovely companion.

In his racing days, he was kennelled with a female Greyhound and likes other dogs, especially hounds or Lurchers, he would not like to be rehomed with small dogs or cats due to his instinctive chasing background.

Banjo likes to go on walks but he does need to get to know you first as he is quite shy and unsure with new people. We are sure he will blossom with the right person.

Age: 3 / D.O.B: 13/5/21 / Breed: Lurcher / Sex: Male

Benji

Loves playing with toys / loves being brushed

Benji came in 24/6/24 through no fault of his own. He does react to dogs on walks and can pull when he sees them. He is a quiet loving boy when he is on his own away from other dogs. He was very quiet when he came into kennels and was a little nervous and this is why we think he does not like other dogs as he is a little scared. He has come out of his shell a little bit more. He loves his toys and plays with them in the paddocks and he loves a good brush.

He has made such improvement with his walks as he used to chew the lead. He can be sweet now and has calmed down a lot.

Zeus

Friendly / Loves human company

Zeus came in 25/7/24 as a stray. He didn’t react to other dogs when he first came in but he is now on walks. We think his issue could be just whilst being in kennels but he will need an owner to be aware of this and help him. Zeus is very strong to walk. He loves being around people and does not like to go back in. He is a lovely lad seems more Bull Lurcher than Great Dane as it says on his microchip.
