Adopt a Dog

• Breed: Terrier (Jack Russell)
• Sex: Male
• Age: 7 years 10 months

My name is Stan, I’m a 7 year old J/R.
I came to Bleakholt because I don’t get on with other animals, I’m too unpredictable around them.
I am a typical J/R, I have a feisty side, I am a sweet boy that gets excited very easily, with this the staff here wouldn’t want me going to a home with children.
I would suit a home that has had experience with J/R, and knows my breed well, I am not a first time dog.
If you think you could offer me the understanding home I need please speak to the dog staff

• Breed: Terrier (Staffordshire Bull)
• Sex: Female
• Age: 12 years 2 months

This sweet old lady is Sasha, she is a 12 year old staffy that’s looking for her retirement home.
Sasha is good with children, but due to her age we are looking for a home with older children, Sasha isn’t good with other animals so she will need a pet free home.
She has got some arthritis in her hips and legs so she isn’t as active as she was, but she is a playful happy girl that does like to be a diva sometimes.
If you think you could offer Sasha or one of our other dogs a forever home please speak to the dog staff.

Kira is a six year old cross breed, she came to us when her owner died, and the family could no longer care for her.
She is full of energy and will need plenty of exercise, we are looking for home with teenagers due to her energy levels, Kira is not keen on other animals so we are looking for a pet free home, Kira would benefit from some training as she will jump all over people, she loves to play with tennis balls in the garden.
If you think Kira could be the girl for you please speak to the dog staff.

• Breed: Collie (Border)

Menice is a beautiful nine month old Border Collie who came to Beakholt as his owner was unable to meet his exercise needs. Being a young male Collie he will need a home where he gets high level of exercise, stimulation and training. He is a very friendly and loving boy who will flourish in a collie savvy home. Menice is happy to socialise with other dogs outside the home, but can’t live with them, we are looking for a adult only home for him due to his true collie behaviour. If you think you could offer Menice his forever home please speak to the staff.

• Sex: Male
• Age: 3 years 1 month

This is Bear, he is a 3 year old American Akita, he came in to us with his best friend Mika, they both arrived with us because of a change in there owners circumstances.
We would love to find a home for them together but we understand that 2 akita’s is a lot and we would split them if we need to.
They are both friendly and loving, they are good with children but we would be looking to re-home them with older children due to there size and strength. They are both good with other dogs but they don’t like cats. They haven’t been off lead, Bear is really good but Mika can pull a bit.
If you think you could offer one or both of these 2 a forever home please speak to the dog staff.

This gorgeous girl is Mika, she is an 11month old American Akita, she came in with her best friend Bear, they arrived when their owner had a change in circumstances and could no longer keep them, as much as we would love to re-home them together we understand that it might not be possible, and we would split them if we have to.
They are both friendly, loving Akita’s, they are good with children, but due to the size and strength of them we are looking for a home with older children (teenagers).
They are both good with other dogs but can’t go with cats, Mika can pull a bit on the lead and Bear is good on the lead, they haven’t been off lead.
If you think you could offer either one or both these a forever home please speak to the dog staff.

• Breed: Shepherd X Collie
• Crossbreed
• Sex: Male
• Age: 7 years 1 month

Buddy is a beautiful seven year old boy who we are advised is a Collie cross GSD. However you can definitely see his Collie side he doesn’t show much resemblance to a GSD and looks slightly more terrier. Although Buddy is 7 years old nobody told him this and he still thinks he is a big puppy. He came to the Sanctuary due to a change in his owners circumstances and he wasn’t being walked. He was quite vocal in his home when people came into the home and also when they left but this is just exuberance and he is a very friendly boy. Buddy would be ideal in a home where he gets nice long daily walks and playtime. He has been around children and is very used to them so can be homed in a family environment. He can occasionally bark at other dogs when on walks and has not ever had any contact with other dogs so is looking for a home as the only pet. Buddy will also occasionally react to cars coming from behind him but again this has only been minor. Buddy is such a wonderful boy and will make such a loving companion.

• Breed: Staffy X Collie

Tidus is a beautiful cross breed who was sadly returned to Bleakholt as he suffers with separation anxiety. When left he would toilet and raid the bin. He is looking for a new home who are happy to work with him to help him overcome this and where he will only be left alone for very short periods. Tidus is a very sweet boy who can live with cats and is normally ok with other dogs. He is not used to children so would need a home with no or older children. A gorgeous boy who really deserves a chance.

• Breed: Shih Tzu
• Sex: Male
• Age: 6 years 1 month

Oscar is a Shih-Tzu, we think he is around 6 years old, he came to us as a stray.
Oscar is a sweet boy once he gets to know you, before that he can be a bit snappy, he has a big attitude in a small body.
He is ok to walk with most dogs but we don’t know about living with them, we have no idea about cats.
We are looking for an adult only home for Oscar, as we don’t think he would cope with children or teenagers and all the comings and goings that happens in a family home, he would make an ideal pet for a retired couple or single person.
If you think you could offer him his forever home please speak to the dog staff.

• Breed: Terrier (Jack Russell)
• Sex: Male
• Age: 13 years 5 months

This is Dylan, he is a 13 year old Jack Russell, Dylan has been with us over 2 months now so we are hoping someone will give him his forever home, he’s not a fan of other animals so we are looking for a pet free home.
Apparently he loves to give cuddles and loves getting cuddles and tickles back.
We are looking for a child free home for Dylan, with his age and the fact he can sometimes be possessive over his things.
Dylan would be a perfect companion for a retired person or couple.
If you think you could have the home Dylan is looking for please speak to the dog staff about him

Sox is a 9/10 year old chihuahua cross, he came to Bleakholt after his owner had a baby and they didn’t feel they could trust him around the child.
Sox is a typical old chihuahua, wants his own way and can be grumpy.
He is ok with dogs and he is meant to be good with cats, we would be looking for a family with teenagers or an adult only home, sox can get very nervous when people move suddenly.
If you think Sox could be the boy for you please speak to a member of the dog staff.

• Breed: Foxhound X

• Sex: Male
• Age: 2 years 4 months

Hello everyone, my name is Bodie, I am a 2 year old foxhound cross.
I have been homed once and sadly I was return because I was being a bit bossy and I was being grouchy when being told what to do.
I like dogs but I wont go out of my way to be with them unless I’m off lead then I go deaf when you call me back, in my old home I made friends with a cat that live a few doors down, but I haven’t lived with any other animals.
The staff here are going to take expression of interest’s on me, I will need a family that has had experience with working breeds and understand my needs as I need a lot of exercise.
I am strong and will pull when I’m on my lead, so I could do with a bit of training. I would be fantastic in a working role such as mountain rescue as I like to use my nose!
If you think you could be the humans for me please speak to the dog staff.

Maddy is a 6 year old J/R, she is a timid little thing, that sadly will try and nip until she knows you.
She will need to be they only pet, and we wouldn’t want any children in the home.
She would make a lovely friend for a couple or single person, that has the time to work with her and build the bond that Maddy needs.

Chesney is a seven year old black Labrador cross Border Collie who has been with us at Bleakholt for quite some time. Chesney has been homed on a few occasions but sadly it hasn’t worked out for him. Chesney does have guarding issues when he gets hold of items, he has nipped in the past when people try to take things off him including toys, towels and sticks. He is therefore looking for an experienced owner and a quiet home without children. He would be most suited to an outdoor home. Chesney is a favourite here with many of the volunteers and always loves his walks.
