Here we have Rudolph (AKA Dave!) available for adoption.
Aged 14 weeks.

Rudolph is a cross between a lab x poodle and a Miniature poodle. So a miniature Labradoodle 🥰

We believe he will be a medium sized dog.

Rudolph is chipped, vaccinated (awaiting a third vacs) and vet checked. He has had diarrhea and has been treated with antibiotics. All good now!

Rudolph is a typical, energetic puppy that loves life. He has sharp little teeth that love to chew on chew toys and he likes to find a slipper to play with 🤣
He is currently living with 11 other small dogs ranging in age from 3 to 15. He has learned lots of dog manners from them and he is brilliant with them.
He loves to run free but on a long line in our field and he thinks it's great fun to chase after the dogs that fetch the ball, trying his best to keep up and join in.
He has a great sniff around and is a very happy boy looking for adventures and a lot of love.

He currently sleeps in the bedroom in a crate, he sleeps all night and wakes when we do.
He eats very well although currently thinks he also has to investigate all the other dogs bowls, sometimes before they finish. So we stop him doing that, he is learning quickly.
He is super fast doing a beautiful sit, so he can have a treat!
His toilet training is coming along very well and he pees outside the majority of the time.
He travels well in the car.
He loves a snuggle once he's settled down and is very loving.

Rudolph is looking for an active home that will take him out on walks and adventures and be an important part of their lives.
He is the cutest, funniest little pup you could meet ❤️

**ADOPTED**

Here we have Tiny Daisy available for adoption.

Daisy is a very small Toy poodle aged approximately 5
Daisy is disabled and was born this way.

Her back legs are fused in a squat/almost sitting position. Her back legs are strong and she gets around well even though they do not extend her into a standing position. She will also handstand to walk. She alternates between her squat walking to hand standing. She's not keen on grass and that's when she handstands. The fosterer has laid her a bit of artificial grass and she is fine with that.

Daisy does very well. We have bought her some wheels from Zoomadog so she will have those to go with her. Currently she isn't impressed with them as she still wants to use her back legs.
She only weighs 2.8kg

Her vet check showed a mild grade one heart murmur.

She has been spayed and had a dental with us and has 2 teeth left.

Daisy is a sweet natured and pretty little girl.
She likes to sit next to her fosterers on the sofa and will bark to get down if you walk away as she struggles on her own.
Daisy is good with the other dogs and they leave her alone mostly. She plays with the foster puppy in the home, who tries to bite her ears and she will nibble is tail. Very cute

Daisy seems to be a bit fearful of plates and she backs away from them.

Daisy hadn't been exposed to the outside world before coming into rescue. She is quite timid and will need her adopters to be devoted to her.
Perhaps take her out initially in a dog pushchair to desensitise her to the outside world. Then she can get out for a bit for a sniff around.
Daisy could live with teenagers who are understanding and gentle.

She will need a secure, private and flat garden without lots of steps.
No cats.
She can live with other dogs if they are not ones that will bully her due to her disability.
She can be an only dog.
Daisy will need an adopter who is home a lot and will devote their life to Daisy, pamper her and give her the best life possible. She needs to build some confidence.
She is a lovely little girl that really enjoys her life.

She can control her bladder and bowels and will go out to toilet although she will likely need to keep having puppy pads down if she can't make it all the way out into the garden quickly enough.
She currently sleeps on the fosterer's bed and she would love to do the same in her new home.

The type of home she needs...

Here we have lovely Gretel available for adoption.

Gretel is a small, female English x American cocker spaniel aged 2

Gretel has been vet checked. She is spayed, vaccinated and chipped.
She has luxating patella in one back leg which the vet has said is currently not causing her any issues.
She has had a dental too and had 4 teeth removed.

Gretal is an absolute sweetheart, she is very gentle natured. She loves her humans and gives lots of cuddles and kisses.❤️

Gretel has just started playing with toys and playing with the other dogs in her foster home. Which is so lovely to see. She is a bit nervous but will thrive in her new home.

She will happily live with other small dogs as long as the resident dogs are happy to share the human attention. She could also be an only dog if she is not left home alone for very long.

Gretel hasn't experienced much of the outside world so will need her new humans to take walks slowly with her, as she will be nervous to start with and to take her to quiet locations. Once settled she will likely love exploring and become much more active. For now she just adores cuddles.

She can live in an adult home or with gentle children 12 plus.

Possibly cats if willing to take introductions slowly.

Gretel sleeps on the fosterer's bed and loves to be cuddled up.

She is house trained and eats and sleeps well.
Nothing negative to say about this beautiful and sweet girl.

.. A secure and private garden...Can live with other small dogs...Allow her to sleep in the bedroom...Take things slowly with her whilst she gains confidence on her walks...

Here we have lovely Tallulah available for adoption.
She is a female Toy Poodle aged 8 and is a lovely colour.
She has had a full vet check and has been spayed and had a full dental, having all her remaining teeth removed. When she first arrived she was a bit underweight but is now ok.
She does have a partial cataract in one eye and one appears to possibly be developing in her other eye. She is fully vaccinated and chipped.
Tally has been building her confidence whilst in her foster home.
She is such a loving little girl that has attached to her foster mum and follows her around the home, she always wants cuddles! ❤️

When Tally first arrived into her foster home, she did bark a lot at visitors to the house and when out and about would bark at people and dogs.
She had never been exposed to the outside world, so found walks and new things very scary.
However, recently she has become much less reactive and as soon as you call her name she will come to you, If you just touch her and wait she becomes calm and walks on happily .

She is very good with other dogs in the home and is very relaxed. She loves to have zoomies around the garden playing chase with our other dogs but she is very gentle.
She loves her walks and gives a very waggy butt when it's time for walkies! She loves sniffing and exploring her environment, which is lovely to see.
She walks nicely on lead and loves to run free in the secure doggy paddock.
Tally likes to hunt for treats in the home, which is a great enrichment activity for her.
Tally is very good with other dogs in the home, dogs outside the home is a work in progress as she is a bit scared of new dogs but she has shown huge improvements already. She would be happy to live with other small dogs, she enjoys the company of other dogs at home .

She would be great in an adult home although would be good with visiting children if they understand she will be nervous and would leave her be.
She could live with children aged 14 plus.

She currently sleeps downstairs in the front room with the other dogs but would very happily sleep in the adopters bedroom!

Although Tallulah is 8, she is full of energy and is very loving.

She will be a very loving and loyal companion.

***AVAILABLE. MAC was adopted recently but has unfortunately found himself back in our care.

The adopters had frequent, different visitors to their home and he unfortunately snapped at a couple when they gave him unwanted attention.
As he is such a lovely, loving boy they wanted to fuss him but that made him feel uncomfortable. His fosterer offered behavioural guidance and support without cost, as she is a behaviourist but they decided they didn't want him, although they loved him 😭

Mac is a male Cockerpoo aged 20 months.
He has been vet checked, vaccinated, chipped and neutered.

Mac originally came into foster as he was resource guarding the mother’s lap in the family from the children and also other items occasionally.
However in his foster home he doesn’t resource guard and if they ever want anything from him, he will happily drop items for a treat.

He loves his crate and will go in there at bed time and if he feels worried. He doesn’t like that space being invaded but is fine if you respect that and let him go to his safe space when needed.

Mac is very affectionate, loving and playful once he trusts you. He absolutely loves long, rural walks in the woods/ beach/ mountains and would go for as long as you wanted.

At home he loves a cuddle and can play as much as you like but is good at settling after his walks.

Mac is good with other dogs, and is in a foster home with quite a few.
Occasionally he can have a disagreement with other dogs but 95% of the time he’s happy, playful and social.
Mac could possibly live with the right dogs if good management is easily understood by his prospective owners (feeding chews separately for example). The other dog would need to be confident too.
He does love playing with some of the dogs in his foster home but also respects the space of those that don’t want to play.

Dogs in the home would need to be of equal size or large only (he’s 8.5kg).

Mac would not want to live with children and he will not be placed with any. If children are visiting then he would need to be kept separate from them.
We also feel that Mac likes his home to be safe and predictable without too many people coming and going.

No to cats.
Mac can be left up to 4 hours, as long as he has had a good walk prior to being left.
Mac would love daily off lead walks and adventures in rural places (once he’s settled in with his new owners and recall is established with them)

He currently sleeps downstairs in his crate. They fosterers don’t really have visitors but he’s nervous of new people initially but does come around with thrown treats and play. They would have to initially ignore him until he feels he wants to interact.

Mac would love to find an adventure buddy that shares his love of exploring! He lives for his walks and then is very settled at home. He needs a child-free home with confident and experienced owners that will establish rules and boundaries with kindness and understanding. He has snapped at children in the past and will let you know if he’s very uncomfortable but he hasn’t snapped in his foster home at all. He works well with positive reinforcement based methods and will do most things for a treat!

The type of home Mac needs...
..A private garden...An active home where he gets to join his new humans on a lot of long walks and hikes...He can live with confident dogs of equal size or larger...No cats..No children and no frequently visiting children...A quieter home without numerous visitors and those that do will just need to accept his won't like them instantly and to just leave him be...Patient owners who will use positive reinforcement training, who will also respect his need for space and that his crate is his safe space...Maintain his poodle coat.

Please note that Mac is in Cardiff Gate South Wales. The successful applicants will have to travel to him, we do not deliver. Maximum travel time to him is 4 hours.

Checks and adoption fee of 300 applies.

Please do not apply if you have a holiday due shortly.

**ADOPTED**

Here we have Jetta available for adoption.

Jetta is a gorgeous female toy Poodle, aged 4 years.

She has been vet checked, is fully vaccinated, chipped and spayed. She has had a dental.

Jetta is a lovely happy and playful girl who enjoys the company of the other small dogs in her foster home.

She is an active and friendly girl who really enjoys her walks to a private field.

She has quite a character and will steal the fosterers clothes and run off, enjoying the chase. She runs around the home having the zoomies and is an active and friendly girl.

She is a very sweet girl who will curl up on the fosterers lap and will also take herself off to rest on her own.

Jetta loves living with the resident 6 dogs in the fosterers home.
She shows no fear and loves to cross boundaries by being overexcited going in their face, but if they tell her off she cowers down and then runs away but not for long shes back at it. She loves to play!
Jetta has met other dogs both out on walks and at the fosterers dog grooming salon and is very pleased to meet them all!
Jetta would love to live with other happy playful dogs but could also be an only dog as long as they can keep her stimulated and don't leave her home alone for long periods.

She isn't cat tested but knowing her personality she would likely chase them to play with her, therefore a cat would have to be very confident and not run.

Jetta has met children and is happy with meeting everyone, she loves them.

Jetta would like maybe older children so she can play with them aged 6 years +

Jetta is left sometimes whilst the fosterer works in her dog grooming salon with a maximum of 3 hours but has the resident dogs for company, she has never been left absolutely alone. I would imagine she would ok but feel nervous on her own, so if she is an only dog then she would need this to be built up gradually.

Jetta can still be nervous at times so will need some confidence boosting for her walks in the outside world.

She sleeps on the fosterers bed so this is a must for her new home.

Jetta would like a more active home as she likes to run around, once she’s tired she is quiet and sleeps all night.

From her fosterer... I have found Jetta to be an entertaining wild card at times! 😅
Watching her run around my property going downstairs to out back, then through salon and up the indoor stairs only to come right back around again, extremely funny!
She will climb on my kitchen island and jump straight off without a care in the world. I have had to removed furniture so she can’t get on it as worried she’ll hurt herself.
She will follow me everywhere, so nowhere is private with her! She loves her food and will eat it all. Jetta was placed in a crate to eat her food when I first had her so she could eat in peace and a week later she just automatically jumped into the crate to eat, as now she thinks this is where she has to have her food. She picks things up quickly.
Once she’s eaten her food, I have to watch she doesn’t pinch the other dogs food!

Jetta is playful and funny and sometimes a manic little girl and will be a great addition to a family who enjoy walks and having fun in the home and who wants a living little entertaining girl in their lives 🥰

The type of home Jetta needs...
..A private garden...An active home that will take her out on walks and adventures...Provide mental stimulation with training and games...Enjoy having a loving girl in the home that likes to follow you around and sleep on your bed...Children aged 6 plus...Would love to live with other playful dogs or can be an only dog with someone that rarely leaves her home alone...Ideally no cats however if you have a dog savvy cat that won't run and are prepared to put the work in for ongoing introductions, then we would consider a cat.

Please note Jetta is in Pontypridd South Wales. The successful applicant, those in the home and any resident dogs, would have to travel to her, we do not deliver. Maximum drive time to her, is 4 hours.

Please do not apply if you have a holiday coming up within the next two months.

Checks and adoption fee of £425 applies.
