Dogs for adoption

Winnie

  • Female
  • German Shepherd cross
  • 6 years old
  • Winnie is the definition of a gentle soul. She is an extremely sweet, calm, and easy-going girl who absolutely adores cuddles and attention. If you’re looking for a companion who will happily curl up beside you and enjoy the quieter things in life, Winnie is your perfect match.
  • She has lovely, well-mannered personality and is incredibly well-socialised, making her a true “bombproof” dog who takes life in her stride. Winnie gets along wonderfully with other dogs, is great with children, and can even live peacefully alongside cats.
  • Winnie would fit beautifully into almost any home, though she would especially shine in a calmer, quieter household where she can relax and be loved. She is an effortless, well-behaved girl who will bring warmth, comfort, and companionship to her new family.
  • If you’re looking for an easy, loving, and loyal addition to your home, Winnie is ready to steal your heart
  • We are unsure how Winnie is with stock.

Pudding

  • Female
  • Staffy cross
  • Approximately 3 years old
  • If you’re looking for pure joy in dog form, Pudding is your girl! This gorgeous, larger-than-life sweetheart has an absolutely hilarious personality and a heart to match. She truly is the definition of happiness, no matter what she’s doing, Pudding tackles it with a big smile and an even bigger wiggly bum that’s guaranteed to brighten your day. She gets along wonderfully with everyone she meets, both humans and other dogs. She’s social, friendly, and always ready to make new friends or soak up all the attention you’re willing to give.
  • Like many of us, Pudding is currently on a bit of a healthy lifestyle journey, so she’s looking for a committed family who can help continue her weight loss with daily exercise, good routine, and plenty of encouragement. She’ll also benefit from some ongoing training to help her be the very best version of herself.
  • In return, Pudding will give you endless love, laughter, and companionship. If you’ve got the time, patience, and affection she craves, she’ll be your happiest, most loyal little shadow.
  • We are unsure how pudding is with cats or stock.
