Murphy is looking for a dedicated home that are willing to work alongside the behaviour team to help him settle in. Readjusting to a new home is likely going to take a little time so a patient home is a must in order to give him space to flourish. Murphy will need access to a green space for toileting as he is still working on his housetraining. We have found that he toilets better when he is on the lead. He would also like a home with access to quiet walks away from busy roads. Murphy has always formed attachment to one person in the home and he can be more wary around males. Therefore, he is seeking a single female, adult only home that has the ability to separate him from visitors when needed. Murphy thrives having his own space where he can go to settle so would love this in his forever home. Murphy enjoys socialising with other dogs out and about, playing chase with them, however he does struggle to share his resources with other dogs within a home environment, he will therefore need to be the only pet in the home.placeholder image

Wednesday is our sweet and gentle 8 year old Greyhound who is looking for a home with her own secure garden. She can be worried around other dogs so will need to be the only dog in the home and walked in quieter areas. She also needs a cat free home but could live with small furries if they're kept separate. Wednesday has been worried when left at home on her own so would benefit from adopters with minimal leaving hours that can can be built up gradually. She can live with secondary aged children.

Jess is looking for an adult only home where she will be the only pet too, she has more than enough love to give all by herself! Jess can be uncomfortable around other dogs so is looking for a confident home that are comfortable with this. She will need to be kept on her lead and muzzled when out on walks, Jess would therefore love to have access to a private, secure garden so that she can enjoy some off-lead time to have a run around. Jess' new home will need the ability to separate her from the front door as she can be reactive to the door, therefore a home with a porch or outdoor letterbox would be ideal for her to settle. Jess loves spending time with her people so would need any time spent alone building up slowly.

Rupert is looking for an adult‑only home where he can be the only pet and where adopters are confident supporting a dog who can be reactive around other dogs. He is uncomfortable around other dogs, so he currently walks on‑lead and muzzled while practicing focus training—something that will need to continue in his new home. He’ll need a private, secure garden where he can play safely, and a home setup that allows him to be separated from the front door when needed. With patient, understanding adopters who can help him feel secure and set him up for success, Rupert will make a loyal, loving companion and a brilliant adventure buddy.
