Through no fault of his own or the family’s… look who’s back 😞
There were so many applications for this beautiful boy when he 1st was up for adoption… Please get in touch again by filling in a form only IF you meet the criteria ⬇️

💎Let us introduce you to gorgeous Blue… 💎he’s a real 💎 gem and a bit of a unit! ☺️
Pupdate :
He’s actually been in a home the past couple of weeks with a female staffy type having an absolute ball BUT the family weren’t sure he was the best fit, so back he comes…
Honestly, he just needs a home where he can do what he does best, that’s be himself… he likes doing zoomies in the garden, he likes playing and just loves company!

➡️🔹Please *HELP US SUPpawT HIM whilst he waits* 🔹⬅️
🔹🔹CAN YOU HELP US BY SPONSORING? 🔹🔹

💙💬Blue is a wonderful boy in need of a strong and active owner who can match his energy and love for exploring on long walks, where he enjoys nothing more than sniffing around and taking in the world.

💙💬He formed strong bonds with the people at the kennels, showing what an affectionate and loyal companion he can be.

💙💬While Blue can be quite energetic when in the kennels—eager for his walks—he settles down beautifully once he’s had a chance to burn off that energy.

💙💬Blue is well-trained, knowing commands like "paw," ( he loves to throw you a cheeky paw for attention 🥰) and thrives on structure.

💙💬He needs an owner who will continue to provide him with a consistent routine and ongoing training to help him reach his full potential.

💙 💬 We’d prefer a home where someone is home most of the time for him because he simply loves company 🥰

💙💬He truly doesn’t belong in kennels and has never shown aggression in this environment.

💙💬Looking for an only pet home, but would consider a resident female perhaps…

💙💬We dont place dogs in homes with resident cats.

💙💬 We don’t normally place dogs with young children

💙💬Could you be the one to give Blue the home he deserves?

kindly fill in this form so we get a better understanding of your home life…

Todays HELP is needed for BEAR 💙

💙Big-Hearted Bear 💙….

is a Beautiful Japanese Akita. 💙 His post is shared to pages with a potential audience of over 300K people 🥴 as all are, we just need ONE suitable home for him 🩵

💬Bear came into our care as a terrified and disorientated pup. After being attacked by his parents at the breeders and nearly dying, he has passed through 3 homes!
The last being a home with 3 young children, where he growled through fear at the father on the day he arrived and the police were called and he was poled and marked for destruction at the police kennels…

💬Bear wasn't vaccinated because he wasn't going to live. However the police recognised very soon that Bear was indeed a lovely boy with no aggression and we were asked to help. He had been in the police kennels for 2 weeks when we picked him up and he still reeked of cannabis. The police were very grateful for our help. Please see last picture of the sad boy who came into our care💔

💬Bear will need several visits, so he can gain trust with you and will need to go to an adult only home. ‘Meet and greets’ with dogs in the potential adopter’s household would need to take place, to see if a bond is possible, we wouldn’t normally home with resident cats

Beautiful Bear just needs a chance, a steady home where he’ll learn he’s safe and loved 😭
If you want to help him please fill in this form so we get an idea of your home life 🙏

https://www.dorisbanhamdogrescue.org/wp/apply-to-adopt-2/

💙These dogs like Bear are relying on our charity to survive to keep them safe, we can’t do that without your help because these boarding bills are crippling us, very , very few of these pups have regular sponsor…
We need help desperately 💔💙

🍯Honey likes…

💬 People watching ( see pics ☺️)
💬 Her treats!
💬 Her walks
💬 Belly rubs

Had a trip to visit Stanley this morning.
He didnt stop making a fuss of us all the time we were there.
Stanley is very vocal and talks to us non stop.
It's a shame we don't understand him.
Trudie saved him and found the old boy a long term foster home.
Kay is a very lucky lady to have found such a wonderful companion.
When Stan arrived he was home.
Stan very much appreciates the support provided by Doris Banham .

Stanley has told us he sends a small direct debit in his name and hopes that in some way this will assist the dogs waiting for home comforts.
Christmas is coming and the nights are getting colder.
Any assistance to help the charity to continue their vital work would be appreciated.
Stanley says thank you for helping him

🥰 Beautiful Bo 🥰 and those AMAZING ears 🥰

👏🏻Bo loves to cuddle
👏🏻walks politely on her lead
👏🏻plays nicely, often initiating play herself. 🤩
👏🏻She enjoys high-value treats, which will make continuing her training straightforward.
👏🏻She is a friendly and affectionate little girl towards humans…

🥴unfortunately, she does not trust other dogs, so she is best suited to an only-dog household.
🥴She can be somewhat nervous around horses when out, despite our efforts to desensitise her to them.

She is truly a lovely little soul who deserves her own family 🙏🏻

We ask potential homes to visit the kennels on several occasions to meet and bond with Bo

💙🐶 URGENT PAW-NOUNCEMENT 🐶💙 From the Doris Dogs….

The humans have informed us that we are doing a 2027 Calendar…

We don’t know what a calendar is, but we’ve been promised that if we sit pretty, look photogenic and don’t eat any props, it will raise money for our treats, toy’s and care! 🐾

COMMENT BELOW .. if you want to buy one! ( purely so the humans know the numbers at this stage )

We promise it’ll be packed with top-tier snoots, toe beans and majestic tail wags 💙🐶💙

**ADEY** 💙 needs your help 💙

💬💙Please meet our cheerful gorgeous crossbreed, a very happy boy with a tail that just won’t stop wagging!

💬💔 Poor Adey was kept outside in -5 degrees without any shelter sitting on a concrete step begging to be let into the kitchen.
He was kept alive by a neighbour throwing food over the fence, who raised the alarm.
He got the name Adie because his neighbour who kept him alive was called adrian. The community asked for our help … ( see pic 💔)

💬💙He loves being around people and, while he might be a bit strong on the lead at first, he settles down quickly. That said, he does appreciate having his personal space when out and about and isn't a fan of being crowded.

💬💙ADEY really enjoys starting games, is ball obsessed and has an enthusiastic spirit, which shows he could benefit from a little extra training.
Just a heads up—he’s definitely not a fan of rainy days! 💦

💬💙He would thrive best in a home without other pets, as he can be a bit reactive towards other dogs 🥴
