Bentley

Gender – Male

Age – 5 years

Breed – Chesapeake Bay Retriever

Bentley is looking for an adult only home with a private and secure garden.

He gets nervous around strangers so he’ll only be able to have minimal visitors but no young children should visit him.

Bentley needs to be separated from the front door as he can’t meet visitors at the door.

He will need to be the only pet in his new home and when he goes out on walks, he’ll need to walk in quiet areas away from people and dogs and stay on the lead and wear a muzzle.

Dogs Trust adds: “As he enjoys training, it would be good if new adopters were willing to continue this in his new home. Leaving hours would need to be minimal initially but these could be built up as he settles in.

“We would consider a home that has a similar set up to the one he is currently in which is where he has his own heated outbuilding.”

Storm

Gender – Male

Age – 2 years

Breed – Crossbreed

Storm is looking for an adult only home with no visiting children. His new owners will need to be comfortable helping him work through his grabbing behaviour.

He’ll also need help with housetraining and he needs a private and secure garden to play in.

Storm needs to be the only dog in the home and will need to be separated from busy daily life via a baby gate at times.

He needs to be the only dog in the home but once settled he can continue his socialisation.

Storm can’t live with cats but could live with small furry animals if they are kept separate.

Mila needs new owners who are experienced with large breed dogs and can handle her strength and size.

She can get worried around strangers so will need to be kept on a lead and wear a muzzle when out on walks.

Age – 7 years

Breed – Smooth coat Chihuahua x Jack Russell

Wig is looking for a new home with a secure, private garden where she can work on her training, including housetraining, and play.

She can live with children aged 12 or over but the centre would consider lowering this depending on the application.

Wig can be reactive to other animals so needs to be the only pet in her new home.

Her new owners will need to be comfortable with her being very vocal when out walking. She is currently living in a foster home and not at the centre.
