This 8-year-old girl is looking for a forever home with her pal, Jolene, and would like to be rehomed with her. The centre have said she can live with children over the age of 14 who can give her space when she needs it. Staff have said she will be able to live with another dog pending a successful introduction at the centre. Rosie loves food and a fuss being made of her, and this would be an excellent way for any potential owner to build a bond with her.

Andy, Labrador

This excitable two-year-old needs a family who will be able to dedicate time to his training. Andy has a tendency to be quite vocal towards other dogs and will need a family who can help him work on his social skills. The centre are recommending he be adopted by an adult-only home, and he will need a family member present for the majority of the day as he gets nervous when alone.

Sammy, Springer Spaniel

Two-year-old Sammy is a nervous lad, who needs an owner with patience to help him come out of shell. This boy has lots of love to give once he becomes comfortable in his new home, but will need a quiet, calm household and would need to live in a rural location away from other dogs. He has previously lived with a cat and can live with children aged over 14. The centre have said he would need to be the only dog in the home due to resource guarding.

Cooper, Beagle

Despite appearances, Cooper is all energy and will need new owners who can match his active lifestyle. The centre have said he loves walks, and lots of them, and loves to go on adventures. The centre have recommended he be the only dog in the home as he can be reactive to other canines, and have also said he can live in a household with children aged over 11. They added he is an “incredibly friendly boy” with people and a home with lots of visitors does not bother the “social butterfly.”
