Kym is a 7 year old cross breed, He is friendly and lively once he has got to know you.
He came to bleakholt after his owner died, and he went to live with a family member but it didn’t work out as they have a young child and Kym was anxious around the child and they felt it wasn’t fair on him. Kym would be better in a calm home with teenagers or a child free home, he’s not keen on other dogs but he seems to good around some cats.
Kym will play and like a bit of ruff and tumble, he will give nibbly kisses.

Derek is an adorable one year old EBT cross, he came to Bleakholt as a stray so we don’t know his history. He loves everyone he meets but sometimes he will a little bit naughty with other dogs, he wants to play but he doesn’t know how to greet them. We are looking to re-home him with a family that has EBT experience, due to us not having any background on him we are looking for a family with teenagers or adults only.
Derek is full of energy and will need plenty of exercise, if you think this cheeky young man could be for you, call into Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary any day between 10-4.

Hello my name is Alfie, I’m a 19month old A/B that’s as daft as a brush.
I’m a big lad that doesn’t know my own strength, I play hard and I can sometimes be a bit rough.
The staff here are looking for a an experienced A/B owner, with no children in the house.
I was brought back to Bleakholt due to being over protective of my female owner, the staff here would need to talk to anyone who was interested in me about my behaviour, it can be a bit much, but I don’t mean anything by it, I am still a young dog and will need to be given some training and learn a few manners. If you think you could be the couple or person for me please speak to the staff.

This is Winnie she is 10 years old and came to us after her owner sadly passed away. She came in with Billy and they can be homed together or separately.
She would love a new home as the only pet as she can be a bit possessive with her toys around other dogs.
She would love a home to curl up in and a garden and sun bath in her twilight years.

Princess is a beautiful six year old Presa Canario who has been with us at Bleakholt for some time. She is a big girl and we are looking for new owners who are experienced in large breeds. Princess is a very loyal and devoted dog; she can be a little timid with some people on first meetings but is fantastic when she gets to know you. Princess is looking for a new home as the only pet as she is not keen on dogs. She can at times lunge towards certain dogs when passing on lead so she will require an owner who can manage her strength. She is currently having training for this however it is only the occasional dog and not all. Any new owner will be provided with this training. Princess would be fantastic in an adult only home where she gets nice long daily walks. A home with a suitable garden for her size would also be a must.

Roo is a gorgeous three and a half year old Staffie who was returned to Bleakholt as he was showing issues towards his owner’s boyfriend. Roo was very attached to his female owner. Roo is slightly timid when he meets you but then very friendly. He is looking for a quiet home with experienced adult only owners where he can learn to relax as he is an anxious boy. Roo shows little interest in other dogs but would prefer a new home as the only pet. He responds really well to reward training and this will need to be continued in the home. He does frighten very easily with load noises so really does need a quiet and tranquil home.

Max is a gorgeous white Staffy who sadly has been with us for quite some time. He is a very friendly boy but does like to push his luck with new people. He has been known to try and heavily chew people’s shoes…. Whilst they are wearing them. He needs a firm experienced owner who can further his training. We are specifically looking for a home who has experience of more challenging dogs. With guidance, input and lots of walks Max will make a fantastic friend.

I’m Sasha, a 4 year old bull lurcher cross, I am a big strong girl, but ‘m such a big softy with people.
I don’t like other animals and will have to be walked with a muzzle and harness for the rest of my life.
The staff here are looking for a home that have had experience with bull breeds before and also ones that are dog reactive.
I’m having training at the moment and you would have to come up and meet the trainer and he will go though everything so you understand what are my triggers, and also how to carry my training on.

Sasha is a beautiful ten year old wiry lurcher. Sadly Sasha has been at Bleakholt for quite some time now after being returned for being over protective in the home. Sasha is a very loving and affectionate girl. She is looking for an experienced owner who can give her time and space she needs to settle into a new environment. She is looking for a new home without other pets as although out and about she pays no interest in other dogs she wouldn’t like to live with one. In her last home Sasha became protective over the couch and home. She needs a confident and experienced owner who can help her get past this, as she may at times growl and show her teeth. So an owner who will not be fazed by this is a must. She is a favourite with several of the volunteers and can often be seen in the café at the weekend watching the world go by.

Billy is an eleven year old black and white Staffie who came to Bleakholt as sadly his owner died leaving nobody able to care for him. He came in with his Buddy Winnie and they are very bonded. Billy is a very sweet boy who just adores being around people. He is used to children and can be homed in a family environment with teenagers. We really hope he doesn’t get passed by due to his age as he has a lot of love, fun and affection to offer any potential new home.

Junior is a 7 year old Staffie cross. He has been at Bleakholt for approximately 2 years. He walks great on a harness but at times can sometimes be reactive towards other dogs. Junior has been working with our behaviourist and has vastly improved. He enjoys playing ball and having a run about in a enclosed area. He is a very affectionate boy and loves lots of attention. He is great with people but would need to be re-homed to a family with older children ideally 14 years old and upwards due to his lively nature.
