Ollie (MiniMutts Dog Rescue, fostered Portsmouth)
A total gentleman loved by all he meets, Ollie is a small Crossbreed with a lovely face. He has been diagnosed with epilepsy which is being managed by medication and has been seizure-free since.

Possum (RSPCA South Godstone Animal Centre, Surrey)
Possum the pretty Patterdale is a sweetheart. She is recovering from a leg injury and needs a calm home and only short walks. She loves people and dogs, but wouldn’t suit a canine companion who would encourage her to tear around.
Simone (Halfway Home Dog Rescue, Nottinghamshire)
Simone is a friendly, loving little lady who gives the best kisses! She just wants to be with you and enjoy your company. She ticks the boxes of being dog and kid friendly and she is pretty cute too!
Arthur (Halfway Home Dog Rescue, Nottinghamshire)
Arthur is a placid, laid-back and lovely lad who would make a great companion. He can live with older children and is currently happily sharing his kennel with another dog. He enjoys a walk or a potter in the garden and doesn’t ask for much except love.
Max (South East Dog Rescue, Kent)
Poor little Max is very sad and confused about what has happened to his beloved Dad, and why he is in kennels with strangers. Max is a lovely dog who will make a perfect companion to a (semi-)retired person. Could you help Max?
Sukie (Leash of Life, fostered Bristol)

Little Billy has tonnes of character and a lot of love to give! He is an ardent sniffer of the countryside when he is out but when he gets home, all he wants to do is snuggle up and cuddle with you. Little Billy might be blind but his trusty nose makes up for his lack of sight. He can’t wait to meet you!
Lucy (Blue Cross Hertfordshire)
Cute little Lucy wants to know: Do you have time for some cuddles? Then maybe a nice walk? Then, possibly, more cuddles? Lots of cuddles please! She is a sweet little lady and her ears are just too adorable. If you answered yes to her questions above, please find out more about darling Lucy.
Meg (RSPCA Westmorland Branch, Cumbria)
Tubby little Meg needs you to help her stick to her diet and exercise regime. She loves her walks and is fine about meeting other dogs. She could live with cats and older children but she’d be happiest as an only dog and get all the fuss!
Lola (Adopt A Dog North East)
Dear little Lola just wants to be near you and know she’s loved! She can live with other dogs, cats and children. She’ll be happy as long as she has company and affection… and a sunny garden please!
Justin & Tigga (Animal Rescue + Care, Surrey)

Florence (Dogs Friends, fostered Somerset)

Bonnie (Ark Animal Rescue, fostered Lincolnshire)
Small and sweet, chocolate-coated Bonnie is a very pretty Cairn x Jack Russell who loves to sit on laps. She is looking for a new home due to her owner’s change of circumstances. Bonnie has Cushings and so the Ark will consider offers of a long-term foster home. Could you help Bonnie?
Olly (Dogs Trust Newbury, Berkshire)
Cute little terrier Olly will never fail to make you smile with his quirky terrier ways. He loves being busy, with toys, going for walks and learning new things. He will have to get used to you, but once he does, he will make sure you are loved. This little chap is going to make someone very happy!
Jake (Animal Action Trust, Essex)
This little Jack Russell with a big smile is the charming and characterful Jake. He’s looking for a human companion or two who love walks as much as him. He needs an adult only home, plenty of fuss and soft toys to express his Terrier nature sometimes.
Bella (Pro Dogs Direct, fostered Lincolnshire)
As a Jack Russell lady of more mature years, dear Bella is looking for a truly forever home to enjoy her twilight years. She loves cuddles on her own terms, like most terriers, and could live with another calm canine but no children or cats please. Bella just wants a peaceful life with someone to love her.
Archie (Animal Adoption International, fostered Scotland)
Archie is super-sweet and affectionate, as well as adorable! He just wants kisses and belly rubs and will shower you with unconditional love and devotion in return.

Cassie is a cute and active girl who would love an owner who will take her out for long countryside rambles. She loves a fuss too, but she isn’t a couch potato. Cassie would like to be your only pet.
Little Rio – fun and fluffy! (Oldies Club, fostered Derbyshire)
07/08/18 – Rio has been reserved to his foster carer!

Badger (South East Dog Rescue, Kent)

Jack (Safe Rescue, fostered Great Yarmouth)
To win Jack’s love you need to earn it by working hard in getting him used to the life of a proper dog. He has a mind of his own! He arrived as a ball of matted hair, but the smaller dog revealed beneath is a real cutie. However, you do need to be experienced with dogs to adopt Jack. It is going to take a very special someone to unlock the special beautiful boy he is.
Truffle (Pawprints To Freedom, Somerset)
Just as sweet as her name, Truffle is a friendly girl who has so much love to give. She gets on well with other dogs and enjoys playing with the other dog in her foster home. Truffle is full of life and enjoys her walks. She’s such a little sweetheart.
Belle and Lucy (Dunroamin K9 Rescue, South Yorkshire)
Belle and Lucy are a lovely pair of affectionate ladies looking for a home together if possible as they love each other and Lucy gets stressed without Belle. They are easy to walk and are used to living with children. They would make great family pets.
Oscar (Pawprints To Freedom, fostered Fife)

Tiny, lovely Tiger-Lily! (Oldies Club, fostered Oxfordshire)
White-muzzled, fuzzy-eyebrowed Tiger-Lily is a real little character! She drags her bed around until she finds the best spot, she walks calmly past other dogs but will tell them off if they get too close and she’s trained her foster carers to play catch with each other, so she can have fun watching them! Please share her page!
Spot (Wythall Animal Rescue, West Midlands)
Little Spot has three legs, and they are perfectly sufficient for him to get out and about and enjoy life. He is a fabulous terrier character and needs a new person to love. Spot is also available to foster where his veterinary costs would be covered by the rescue. Could Spot be your new friend?
Bernie (All Dogs Matter, North London)
Bernie is a dinky JRT with a big heart. He likes taking his human out to explore and socialise. At home, he’s content to just enjoy your company from the comfort of his bed. He wants to be an only pet because he does like a bit of lap time!
Zac (Last Chance Animal Rescue, Kent)

Chouquette and Donnie (Terrier SOS, Norfolk)
Adorable Chouquette and Donnie are a pair of Fox Terriers who met up in rescue and became each other’s strength after a difficult life.

They are the sweetest pair who deserve a good life. 1/6/18 – Still waiting for a loving home!
William (Chancepixies Animal Welfare, Kent)
Little sweet William’s dad passed away and he’s now looking for an experienced and understanding adult-only home.
