Zion (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Gatwick)
Zion is as bright as a button, when there’s a treat on offer. He wants an adult-only home and has his priorities all worked out: sleep, plodding walks to meet friends and snuffle about, accepting fusses when he wants them and generally living his best, most relaxing, doggy life!
Henry (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Gatwick)
Henry is a genial chap. He loves people, especially visitors! Adult only home needed as he can be boisterous when excited. He likes walking with other dogs but gets jumpy with overly forward ones. He enjoys splashies, tennis ball wrangling and being moral support when any gardening is going on.
BuskyBear (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Gatwick)

Caring, cuddly Skye (Oldies Club, fostered Kent)
Skye ‘says thank-you’ when you have walked or fed her. She is so appreciative of the simple things, having been taken to the vet by her owner to be put to sleep. Could you love and care for Skye as much as she will love and care for you?
