If you are interested in adopting a dog that does not say it can be homed with a cat and wish us to cat test please let us know and we will be happy to do this.

05-08-24 Camila has come to us from a breeder ready to find her forever home. She is a shy girl who is quite worried to find herself here at the moment and really relies on her kennel friends for comfort. She will be looking for a calm and quiet home, where there is at least one other kind and confident resident dog to be her friend who will let her snuggle up to them. She would need adopters who are around most of the time and who will offer her plenty of love and kindness. She loves to run around the play yard with her friends so we think she is going to really enjoy running around the garden in her new home. She is trying so hard to be brave and with time, love and patience we think she will soon start to come out of her shell. She has never lived in a home before so her adopters will need to be kind and understanding as she settles in and learns all about home life and new skills like house training and how to walk on a lead. She is such a sweet girl who so deserves to find her forever home.

02-09-24 UPDATE
Camila has been with me for a fortnight now.
There have been a couple of night time accidents lately and I am planning to feed her earlier.
Camila's spay wound looks nicely healed.
Lead training is slow! Camilla, surprisingly, after a slow start is improving.
She is anxious with new people and hand shy, but settles quite quickly.
She often cuddles up with my dog, although Camilla is the one who often chooses to lie down on her own.

08-09-24 UPDATE
Camilla continues to spend a lot of time sitting or laying near but not against Heidi (my dog) or Cloud. She seems to be quite self contained but continues to enjoy the company of dogs and humans.
Her lead training is improving, weather permitting and I am feeding her and Cloud at 4ish to reduce the poos in the night.
She often has a cough in the morning, which might be the residue of her kennel cough, but apparently at this stage it is not infectious.
The dogs have started barking at men whose laps they have been happily sitting on, when the man stands up, and although Camilla joins in she tends not to initiate this.

Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.

PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home dogs who have come from breeders where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company. They usually get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience. If the ex breeding dog you are interested in can be an only dog it will say so in its write up. Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
