Dogs needing a home

Little Buddy

Gender/Age: Male 4 years
Breed: Patterdale
Colour: Black
Location: Edenbridge

Buddy has come into us due to a change in his owners circumstances. He is quite a nervous boy at first but will be your best friend once he knows and trusts you. Buddy is a young, energetic boy who is for an active older teenage family home where he will receive plenty of exercise and mental and physical stimulation. Buddy loves his walks and is always on the go, he walks nicely on the lead.

Buddy will need a home where he wont be left on his own for too long as he has separation anxiety. He will need patient and understanding owners who will give him the time and space he needs to settle into his new home. He is a lovely boy who loves a fuss and to play with his toys, especially tennis balls. Buddy is good with dogs so could potentially live with another one. If you feel you could be a suitable home for Buddy then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Pringle

Gender/Age: Female 6 years
Breed: French Bulldog
Colour: Brindle
Location: New Romney

Poor Pringle deserves a nice home where she can get all the love and attention she deserves. Unfortunately, Pringle has really bad skin and so will need to be on a hypoallergenic diet to try to help alleviate the itchiness. She has been super friendly and loved getting to know all the volunteers (and the cuddles that come with it!). Pringle has previously lived with other dogs and kids of varying ages but has not lived with cats.

Bella

Gender/Age: Female 14 years
Breed: Pomeranian
Colour: Ginger
Location: New Romney

Lovely Bella has recently come to us through no fault of her own. She is a little, elderly lady who is looking for a nice quiet home where she can enjoy having a nice snooze on the sofa next to her person. She is extremely cuddly and affectionate. Bella has previously lived with dogs, cats and kids, although because she is an elderly dog she could only live with older children and calm dogs.

Uma

Gender/Age: Female 16 months
Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
Colour: Tri Colour
Location: New Romney

Uma is a highly active, bouncy girl who is looking for her forever home. She is a super friendly dog and has loved meeting all the staff and volunteers here at Last Chance. While Uma is good around other dogs, she will bark at them to start with until she gets to know them. Uma needs an equally active owner to match her high energy levels. She has previously lived with kids but cannot live with cats.

Eddie

Gender/Age: Male 10 months
Breed: Staffie X
Colour: Merle

Eddie is a handsome 10-month-old Staffie cross with a heart full of love. He’s completely deaf, which makes him all the more special he is ready to shine with the right family! We don’t know much about Eddie’s past, so his new home will need to provide training, confidence-building, He thrives with patience, structure, and positive reinforcement, and with the right guidance. Age: 10 months Children: 10+ No cats Requires ongoing training & socialisation Eddie is looking for a family who can help him grow into the amazing dog we know he can be. Please contact our new Romney centre

Oscar

Gender/Age: Male 11 years
Breed: Shih Tzu
Colour: Cream and white
Location: New Romney

Oscar originally came to us from the Welsh pound with no history. Unfortunately Oscar has been returned to us due to unpredictable behaviour in the home. Oscar can be an incredibly stubborn dog who isn't a fan of being told what to do. Oscar absolutely hates the groomers so will need to be muzzled when going to them or the vets. Oscar needs to be the only pet, in an adult only home with an owner who understands his stubborness and will be willing to work with him on it.

Maple

Gender/Age: Female 2yrs
Breed: Staffie Cross
Colour: Brindle
Location: Edenbridge

Maple has sadly came back to Last Chance for rehoming as the previous owners did not feel they could cope or deal with Maple’s needs. Maple is a large girl with a lot of energy and strength behind her. She loves to play with her toys however this can cause her to get overstimulated and starts to become rough with her people instead of her toys. So would need a confident owner who will be able to calm her down when she gets herself in this state of mind. Maple does walk well on the lead but she can be strong especially as she does have a high prey drive and will chase anything that moves including rubbish blowing in the wind so would need a strong owner and someone to further training to help her overcome this or to learn how to ignore all distractions on walk. Maple is a very sweet natured girl who is willing to learn and loves having a cuddle. Maple thinks she is a lap dog and loves sitting on your lap having her ears rubbed. She develops strong bonds with her people but especially to females in the home. Maple is good with other dogs depending on how they react and present themself to her first. Maple does have temper tantrums so will need an owner to help with this. Maple is looking to be the only pet in a home with especially no cats visiting from neighbouring gardens. Maple must go to an adult only home. Maple would benefit from a strong active home who has the time and patience to continue her training. Second photo is Maple with her mate Jackson.

Ace

Gender/Age: Male 18 months
Breed: Greyhound (ex-racer)
Colour: Tiger Brindle
Location: New Romney

Ace is our newest Ex-Racer to come to us. He is a very shy boy who will need some time to adjust to meeting new people. He will ideally need an adult only home with no cats or small animals around. He has previously been in a kennel environment where he has been mixed with other greyhounds so he could potentially live with a calm dog of a similar size.

Rocky

Gender/Age: Male 3-4yrs
Breed: Spaniel
Colour: Black & white
Location: New Romney

Rocky is a loveable boy who will need a lot of exercise and stimulation to keep him from being bored. Unfortunately, while Rocky is generally a well-behaved boy, he has shown some possessiveness around his owner which has ultimately led him to be returned. For Rocky, his ideal home would be with a single person or couple with no kids or other animals, who can give him lots of long walks and provide training to try to work on his possessiveness. If you are an experienced owner who is up for giving Rocky another chance then please pop into our New Romney branch, Weds-Sun between 11am and 3pm.

Dancer

Gender/Age: Male 8yrs
Breed: Collie x
Colour: Black and Tan
Location: Edenbridge

Dancer came to us from the Welsh pound so we don’t have much history on him. Due to his breed and behaviour, we believe that he was used as a farm dog. When Dancer knows you he can be very affectionate and jump up for cuddles. Dancer loves to cuddle up to you on the sofa and gently nibble your fingers while getting belly rubs, if you stop stroking him he will paw at you for your attention. Dancer loves to be around you and will follow you everywhere so will need a home where he won’t be left alone for too long. One of Dancers favourite things to do is watch you make dinner in the kitchen in hopes that he could have some too! (He especially loves cheese) Dancer is an active boy who loves his long walks and exploring new places so will need an active owner and a garden of his own to run around and play freely off lead in. Dancer can get protective of his owner when on lead and can nip if anyone approaches him, because of this you will have to keep a distance from others and their dogs and walk in less populated areas. Dancer loves to play ball with you and when alone he loves to play with soft crinkly toys, you will often see him chucking them around in the air and tossing them side to side. Dancer is looking for an adult only home in a rural setting as he is noise phobic so would like a quiet home. He must be the only pet in the home. Dancer will need an understanding and patient owner as he is a very anxious boy who takes time to trust others. Dancer will need multiple visits to our centre with any potential owner to help build a bond. In time, Dancer would make a very affectionate and loyal companion. Please do consider taking Dancer home.

Buddy

Gender/Age: Male 10 years
Breed: Bichon x JRT
Colour: White
Location: New Romney

This cheeky old boy knows his own mind, he is looking for a very experienced home with no other pets or children. Despite his years he loves his walks and enjoys exploring, he would love a home with a secure garden for him to potter round. Buddy has several behavioural issues which have resulted in him being returned multiple times, he will need a home experienced with troubled, stubborn terriers, if you think you could offer Buddy the home he needs, please contact us to discuss further.

Dewey

Gender/Age: Female 4yrs
Breed: Greyhound
Colour: Black
Location: Edenbridge

Dewey is a very happy girl! She absolutely loves to be around people and is always wagging her tail when she sees you. She is an ex-racer so cannot be homed with cats, small furry animals and small dogs, especially fluffy ones. She has found her love of toys since being at last chance and will throw them around to herself. She will need a safe and secure garden for her to do zoomies in!

Mary

Gender/Age: Female 4yrs
Breed: Pocket Bully
Colour: Fawn
Location: Edenbridge

Mary is a lovely girl who needs an understanding owner. If she loves you, she adores you, and you become her world. She lives with one of the staff members a few times a week, and she loves nothing more than having a cuddle on the sofa and snuggling up in bed during the night. Mary is also obsessed with her food and will give a little song to try and get what she wants. However, while Mary loves you, this means she gets very protective of her people and can become aggressive when strangers approach. So for this, she needs a patient and understanding owner. She now knows 'sit' and 'paw'; however, she gets overexcited for the treat, so she jumps up to give you both paws instead. She can be a tiny bulldozer and charges about when she is having her zoomies. Mary would make a fantastic companion to the right owner and would make you laugh on a daily basis. We do not think that Mary has had any training or socializing, so this does mean she needs to be muzzled and mixed with other dogs slowly. Adult Home only! Dogs – No Cats – No

Bill

Gender/Age: Male 5yrs
Breed: Frenchie
Colour: Black & tan
Location: Edenbridge

Bill is a grumpy chap at times who is set in his own ways. Despite only being 5 he acts like an old boy refusing to go on walks and wanting to sit all day in the sun. Bill absolutely loves his long red dog toy and occasionally you will walk past his kennel and see him just holding it in his mouth showing it off to the world. As cute and friendly as Bill looks, he is not a cuddly dog and couldn’t think of anything worse than being a lap dog. He would much rather get comfy and snug on the bed on the floor. He loves his own space and feels safe having an area that is just for him. Bill would love a home with someone who is happy to have him plod about in their garden and occasionally come for some attention. When Bill does want a fuss, his all time favourite is a butt scratch. He goes mad for this and loses his mind when he gets this. He will even try scratch his back on cars, bushes etc. Bill would need an adult only home ideally with 1 person or a couple who can respect his space with absolutely no children visiting. Bill is not a fan of any other animals he will avoid them when out but is not keen on having them approach him. Dogs - No Cats - No ADULT HOME

Ralph

Gender/Age: Male 8yrs
Breed: Min Pin
Colour: Tan
Location: Edenbridge

Ralph is a loving and loyal boy who will follow you everywhere! He absolutely loves his squeaky toys and playing with balls—he’ll toss them around and pounce on them with excitement. Ralph loves affection on his terms and he’ll come and sit on your lap and be involved in whatever you’re doing. His happiest moments are when he’s curled up next to you sleeping. Ralph is a big baby at heart. He loves his walks and then settling down for a nap on the sofa. Originally rescued as a 16-week-old street puppy from Cyprus, Ralph has developed trust issues with new people. He can be quite vocal when meeting strangers and will snap if they get too close too soon. Ralph’s ideal home would be a quiet household with patient, understanding owners who can take the time to earn his trust and understand his little quirks.He does not do well with visitors, so a home with minimal guests would be best. Ralph would love to be in a home where he can enjoy his twilight years. Adult home only/no visiting children. No other pets. Please contact us for more information

Penelope

Gender/Age: Female 2yr
Breed: English Bull Terrier
Colour: Tri Colour
Location: Edenbridge

Penelope sadly came to Last Chance as an unclaimed stray. Smelly and covered in fleas Penelope had obviously come from an unloved place. We believed whoever had her before coming to Last Chance had tried to use her as a guard dog/ status dog due to her breed however upon spending time with Penelope it’s clear to see she would of been useless at this as she is a happy friendly girl who loves everyone she meets which could of resulting in her being thrown out like rubbish. Penelope has had little to no socialisation and training. She has absolutely no manners and thinks the words no, wait, stay mean yes let’s go play! Penelope loves being around people and will get frustrated when she knows you are about to leave her however a few games of fetch has her calmed down. Penelope absolutely loves toys and loves finding new ones to take back to her with her. Sadly due to having no socialising Penelope is not good with other dogs we are hopeful that in time with the correct training she would eventually play well with dogs as we think she would enjoy this however we can not say for certain as we don’t know what happened during her puppy years. Penelope would love an active adult only home with no children, dogs or cats. As she has so much energy to burn and would need someone who can put in the time for her.

Simon

Gender/Age: Male 6yrs
Breed: Sharpei
Colour: Tan
Location: Edenbridge

Don’t let Simon’s grumpy face fool you he is a very happy boy who loves nothing more than investigating smells on his walks by smooshing his chops into everything. He is housetrained and loves a big comfy bed to lounge in the sun in or a bed by the window so he can be nosy all day. He can be vocal with some dogs so would benefit from gentle socialising in time and would need to be the only pet in the home. He is not good with cats or any other small animals. He will randomly play with toys and will chase a football a few times before getting distracted by a smell that he has to wee on. Simon does have some of the Sharpei quirks and can be an independent dog at times, wanting affection on his own terms, so would need an owner to understand the characteristics of his breed. Adult only home.

Olivia

Gender/Age: Female, 4yrs
Breed: Frenchie
Colour: Seal & Tan
Location: New Romney

Olivia is truly one of a kind, she will be an amazing companion in the right home, with experienced people who understand what makes her tick. She is a funny, affectionate girl who loves a bum scratch and chasing leaves, on her terms, she loves a cuddle and having a fuss made of her. She is sociable with most dogs and has had many dog friends here at Last Chance, she would however be best as the only pet in her new home. Being a stray, we don't know what Olivia has been through, but whatever it is, has led her to be very protective of 'her' things. She is known to guard her toys and food bowl, along with seemingly random items, due to this she is needing a very experienced home where she can work on this behaviour. Here at Last Chance she loves to go on long walks with our volunteers and enjoys running through the long grass, she would love an active home where she can show you just how fast a frenchie can be. If you think you have the experience and love Olivia needs, please contact us for more information.

Kimi

Gender/Age: Female 8yrs
Breed: Rottweiler
Colour: Black & tan
Location: Edenbridge

Kimi sadly came to us severely overweight and was nicknamed the barrel. She was struggling to walk and after further investigation it was discovered, she unfortunately has luxating patella in both her knees. Due to Kimi being energetic she jumps around in her kennel, bouncing off the walls, making the recovery post-surgery not possible, so she is kept comfortable with medication and is doing well on it. Since finding her love for walks and balls she has managed to shed the weight but is still in need of shedding those last few kilos. Kimi is absolutely obsessed with her toys and mainly balls. You will always find her with a ball in her mouth, whether she is out on a walk or laying in her bed she will have a toy. She treats it as a comfort blanket and wherever she goes, a toy will go with her. Kimi is great with the people she knows however it can take time to build up trust with her. Kimi does enjoy a fuss and some attention but only on her terms and only for a short period. Kimi is happiest being near and with you rather than on you like a lap dog. Kimi likes her own space, but likes to know you are around, so would prefer to sit in her bed surrounded by her toys with you in her eyesight so she knows she is not alone. One of Kimi’s rare features which we all love, if she allows you to sneak a glance is her ‘pig skin pads on her paws. Kimi is looking for an experienced adult only home with no other pets. Kimi needs an owner who will give her the time and patience she will need to earn your trust and to settle in to a home environment.

Mitch

Gender/Age: Male 2-3yrs
Breed: Pocket bully
Colour: Tri Colour
Location: Edenbridge

Mitch came to us from the Welsh pound due to a decline in his owners health. Mitch was a very timid boy at first and would grumble whilst running away from you in his kennel due to fear. He has now come out of his shell and he has found his love in toys. His favourite at the minute are balls! He will play all day, not that the toys last that long. Mitch has been fearful of other dogs whilst being with us so will need very slow socialising with other dogs and to be the only pet in the home for now. As Mitch can be fearful of the world we are suggesting an adult only home to help him navigate a new home life, with patient and understanding owners who can give him space and time to settle without pushing his boundaries. Mitch loves his walks but can be stubborn at times wanting to get back so he can continue playing.

Cleo

Gender/Age: Female 9 years old
Breed: Husky
Colour: Choc & cream
Location: Edenbridge

Cleo came into us as her owners have no time for her anymore. Cleo is finding being back in the kennel environment hard, but is adjusting slowly. Cleo is a typical husky and loves to be outside no matter what the weather. She loves to play with new toys especially squeaky stuffed toys and rope toys. Cleo is very reactive to other dogs and is advised to walk with a muzzle, which she wears well, and must go to a pet free house with an owner who is understanding of this behaviour. Experience with the breed is preferred as Cleo can be husky vocal when she wants something. Cleo needs a very understanding and patient adult only home, with owners who have the knowledge and time to spend helping her with her difficulties.

Lexi

Gender/Age: Female 7yrs
Breed: Greyhound
Location: New Romney

Lexi is a very sweet, gentle girl who loves a fuss. Sadly, Lexi is epileptic so is on ongoing medication. She would love a nice calm home where she get lots of love and attention. She is Okay with other dogs, but as with most sight Hounds, no cats or small animals.

Danny Boy

Gender/Age: Male 10years
Breed: Scottie/Carne X
Colour: Black
Location: Edenbridge

Danny Boy is a lovely boy once he knows you, he has to have a female owner on a one to one basis, this is all due to him being mistreated. Unfortunately this poor sad little lad, through no fault of his own was kicked and abused in his previous home, living day after day in constant fear, hiding and cowling away from his owner.

This is a very sad case due Danny Boy’s previous male owner who was sadly suffering with-Alzheimers and didn’t realise what he was inflicting on his once best friend.

Please therefore understand why our darling sad, confused, untrustworthy, frightened little Danny boy can be unpredictable towards men, and is quite nervous when first meeting you and needs to settle in slowly. Is there someone out there that can reassure him, give back the love he once knew, to enable him to trust that once again, like the song above will there ever be any pipes a calling for our Danny Boy?????? Or does he have to continue to hope, dream, wish for someone to call his name.

Look into those eyes, see his pain, reach out to him, give him a chance, give him time to trust you, give him back his life, give him the confidence, patience and love that he needs, LOVE that we all need. I know the right person is out there, make our Danny Boy’s wish come true, a loving home this Christmas, that day and every other one there on, FIND HIM A HOME PLEASE.

MORE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OUR BOY For those of you that feel you can give our little lad the right home, you would have to visit him on a regular basis, over weeks, even maybe months for him to get used to you and to start to trust you, so this is something that must be considered.

Danny is ideally looking for a quiet home, with a female that does not have regular visitors, with NO CHILDREN, MEN OR OTHER PETS. Danny needs to be his on boss, not be confronted by things or over stimulated or trying to teach him. Danny I would say at the moment, but who knows in the future, is currently not a companion pet, and would not understand or want loads of cuddles or fuss. Like I say he might be the most adorable companion, but this would take time.

Consideration must be taken when out with Danny, due to his fear of people, especially men, you would need to keep a distance from people and dogs whilst walking our Danny boy.

For more information on Danny please call our staff at the Edenbridge rescue 01732 865530
