Ben
Breed: Collie
Age: 1 Year
Sex: Male
He loves all dogs. Not bothered by cats so he will happily live with them too.
No interest in livestock.
Loves our younger volunteers so he is ideal for a family to adopt.
He has beautiful manners while out walking.
His personality is gentle and very loving.
Jerry
Breed: Collie
Age: 1 Year
Sex: Male
Doc
Breed: Collie
Age: 2 Years
Sex: Male
Was living with a family and is house trained.
He knows basic commands like sit, stay and gives the paw.
Doc would like to be in an only dog household. He is fantastic in the home and is crate trained and not destructive, however he just doesnt like other dogs or cats and is protective over his family (but falls in love instantly).
For that reason he needs to be in a family with no young children or other animals present.
Doc prefers a quiet life so ideally a home in the countryside where there isnt too much visitors or other disruptions.
He is an incredibly loving dog and has so much to give and would do anything for his owners.
Ellie
Breed: Collie
Age: 3 Years
Sex: Female
Highly intelligent. Watches your every move. Learns so quickly.
She loves all dogs. Afraid of cats and avoids them.
We would like a home with no livestock as she may feel the need to help you round them up and she is not good at it
Her personality is kind and genuine.
Confident and has no fear.
Her stunning looks are a bonus too.
Now who will offer her a home?
Bucko
Breed: Collie
Age: 2 Years
Sex: Male
He is an absolute gentleman. Super soft and so sensible. Your baby finger could walk him on the lead.
He loves all dogs. Cuddles into the cats.
No interest in livestock. He greets all animals like his long lost best friends.
He is laid back and very easy going. No drama, no barking and is just such a chilled dog. He would be ideal for a family as you can trust him around children or he would also suit someone older who wanted a dog with perfect manners.
He has never lived inside the poor lad but Im sure he would love the home comforts he has never had.
Jim
Breed: Collie
Age: 2 Years
Sex: Male
Jim is another ex pound boy too.
At just 2yrs old, we have no idea what trauma Jim has seen but he has.
When we first met him, he was terrified of the lead. He had to be carried around and he is a big built boy. In his kennel he clung to the ground and did not want to come out and used his blanket to hide his head. Ahhhh heartbreaking.
Now some weeks later we are finally seeing an improvement after lots of handling and confidence building.
Jim is such a cuddle monster. He loves a fuss and will burry his head in your arms.
We have him walking on the lead now but if you stop he lays down at your feet. Then when you walk on he does. Its a massive improvement for now and every day until he gets a home we will keep working with him.
He loves all dogs. Not bothered by cats.
A tree hugger of the dog world.
I wish you could just come meet him. Photos dont show what an amazing boy he is. He is stunning with a long flowing coat. He wants to be so loyal and wants it returned to him. He is a dog that never saw love or kindness but he is loving the journey he is on here with our team.
If you want to change the world for just one dog and in return get it back tenfold.
Please put your hand up for Jim.
All the team here adore him.
Ace
Breed: Collie X Pointer
Age: 1 1/2 Years
Sex: Male
He is calm and easy going yet with another playful dog he is gas craic. He also loves to play with our younger volunteers so he is ideal for a family to adopt. You can fully trust him.
He is super on the lead and a pure gentleman. He listens to your every word. He used to live inside and was housetrained. Ace has lovely manners and is a pure gentleman.
Ace loves all dogs and shares with two small and one his own size.
Dog savvy cats only as he wants to play with them too.
Ace in blunt is a tree hugger. Adorable boy with so much to give a family
Vinny
Breed: Collie
Age: 2 Years
Sex: Male
When we first met Vinny. He was so terrified. He just clung to the ground.
It’s taken time to get him walking on the lead with lots of encouragement.
Now he is happy to potter behind you.
He still needs more life lessons like dealing with loud noises and cars driving by at speed but he now just lays down but will walk on again straight away.
He loves all dogs and shares his kennel with two more. Shares his food and treats also.
Vinny can live with cats. If anything he just avoids them.
We are looking for a home for a soft natured and genuine boy who have another confident dog ( or more ) to be his companion as this is a huge help.
A home that understands all he needs is time to gain more confidence. I swear he will be worth it. They always turn out the most loyal loving dogs.
Vinny is also ready to travel to a UK home offer.
Fig
Breed: Collie X
Age: 2 Years
Sex: Male
Fig is hoping he may get a home offer too.
He is nearly 2 yrs old. Was housetrained in his last home. He lived with other dogs and had no issues. He also has no interest in cats so he can live with them too.
Fig’s Mum was your typical black and white collie. They have no idea where this colour came from but isn’t he pretty.
He is super light on the lead. Very laid back and easy going.
He has only ever lived in the countryside but Im sure he would not mind a busy town either.
Bandit
Breed: Collie
Age: 3 Years
Sex: Male
Bandit is just the most fun dog to be around. He makes us laugh so loud.
When he is hungry he does a dance like jumping on the spot pushing the bowl around with his front paws telling you hurry up with the grub
He is great on the lead and very confident. Fears nothing.
In the fields he does the same if he finds a frog or a large beetle. He shoves them around with his nose but does no harm. Just playing and he finds it so much fun.
He loves all dogs. Afraid of cats but he knows how tricky them tats can be
He is just a dog that every family needs to bring life and fun into their home.
Shania
Breed: Collie
Age: 2 1/2 Years
Sex: Female
She loves other dogs and will play with them all day so we would love her to find a home with another playful dog.
She is super to walk on the lead. Will jump into your car to go for a spin.
She is not bothered by cats until they run and she will then chase for fun but no harm.
She is an ex farm girl who was no good to work so a home without livestock as she would feel the need to help you. A town or city home would suit much better.
Shania is very clever and learns fast. In the right home you could teach her to do anything. She is also spotless in her kennel and will be very easy to housetrain.
April
Breed: Collie
Age: 1 1/2 Years
Sex: Female
April is Andy’s sister.
She too was so terrified when she came.
She is also 18 mnts old and clearly never saw any kindness in her life.
Now she will do her best to walk with you. At times she still gets frightened by cars or loud noises but she recovers straight away. She loves all dogs and it would do her the world of good if she had a confident dog as a companion.
She has no issue with cats either.
She can also travel to a UK home offer.
If anyone would help by adopting or fostering either of these two siblings I really mean it would be life changing.
