Dogs needing a home

Sky

Gender/Age: Female age unknown
Breed: Staffie X
Colour: Tan
Location: New Romney

Sky came to us from the pound with no history. She is a very sweet girl who can be a little nervous at first so may take some time to settle. Due to not knowing her history, we cannot rehome her with children and she is not good with cats. She is however great with other dogs.

Zeus

Gender/Age: Male 1years
Breed: German Shepherd
Colour: Black & tan
Location: New Romney

Young Zeus came to us through no fault of his own. He is a young boy who needs an active home with a nice secure garden where he can run around like the giant puppy he is. Zeus gets on well with other dogs and loves people but can get a bit overexcited so he can only live with older, dog-savvy children. No cats please! If you think the loveable pup would make a good addition then please pop into our New Romney branch to meet him.

Ruby

Gender/Age: Female
Breed: Frenchie
Colour: Seal
Location: New Romney

Ruby is a very nervous little girl who needs a nice quiet home where she will get lots of love and attention. She will be best as only pet. Ruby has some medical issues which are currently being treated at Last Chance, call our New Romney centre for more details.

Luna

Gender/Age: Female 2yrs 7m
Breed: Staff x GSD
Colour: Tan
Location: New Romney

Luna is a very sweet young lady who can't wait to find her forever home. She is very excitable and energetic; she would love a home where she can go on lots of adventures. She can be fairly strong on the lead and would benefit from training to help with this. We are told that she is sociable with other dogs and she has also lived with cats before and potentially could again. She has been around older children but can be very excitable so we would recommend dog-savy older children only. If Luna seems like the one for you, please pop in to meet her during our opening hours, or contact us for more information.

Tinks

Gender/Age: Female 13yrs
Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
Colour: Tri Colour
Location: Edenbridge

Tinks has sadly not had the best start at life. She was originally rescued as a puppy from a bad past where she was kept in a rabbit hutch and has now come into us due to her owner sadly passing away and their partner not being able to care for her. She is a lovely older girl who is very happy and loves everyone she meets. Despite her age, she is an energetic girl who loves her walks and is always ready for an adventure, because of her energy levels she will need an active home. She walks very nicely on the lead and gets so excited to go on her walks she will start jumping up at her kennel door.

Tinks is a young girl at heart and still acts very puppy like and loves to play and chase a ball. She loves a belly rub and to cuddle up to her people on the sofa. Tinks is ok with some dogs but would prefer to be the only pet in the home. If you are interested, then please contact our Edenbridge centre for more information.

Billy

Gender/Age: Male 3yrs
Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
Colour: Black & white
Location: New Romney

Lively little Billy is looking for an active home with people who can teach him lots of new things. He is a typical terrier so thinks and moves at 100mph, he needs lots of stimulation and exciting walks. He lacks self-control around other dogs and would benefit from socialising and learning some general manners. On walks he has some fear issues around vehicles, he would like a nice traffic free place to walk while he learns that it's not so scary. He would love a home with people around lots to keep him company and play with. If Billy sounds like the one for you, please pop in during our opening hours, or contact us for more information.

Prince

Gender/Age: Make 6yrs
Breed: Mixed breed (medium sized)
Colour: Black & tan
Location: Edenbridge

Prince has sadly been returned to us due to his owner not being able to meet his needs. He is a nervous boy at first and can be a bit grumbly with strangers. Once Prince knows you he can be very affectionate and enjoy a cuddle at times but it must always be on his terms.

Prince does resource guard and he does not have manners and will jump up and sleep on the sofa and bed if he wants too. The best way to overcome this is to bribe him with a treat to get him off any other way to remove him or to get him to do something he doesn’t want to do results in him becoming vocal and stressed, because of this he will need an experienced owner who knows how to deal with this. He is not a fan of being over fussed and doesn't like his feet being touched so will need an understanding owner who can respect his boundaries.

Prince enjoys his walks however he can be strong on the lead at times so will need a strong owner. He can also be reactive to other dogs so will need slow socialising. Prince will need to be muzzled in public. He loves to play ball in the garden and enjoys laying in bed with his toys. He will need an active home with a secure garden of his own.

Prince is looking for an adult only home with no visiting children and minimal visitors as he doesn't take well to strangers coming into his home and will continuously bark and grumble at them. He must be the only pet in the home.

Henry

Gender/Age: Male 6yrs
Breed: King Charles Spaniel x
Colour: Black & white
Location: New Romney

Henry came to us through no fault of his own. He is 6 years old and is great with people. Henry may have a medical issue, so he would be best suited to a quiet, child-free home where he can relax and get the care he needs. Henry hasn't lived with cats but may be okay. Please contact New Romney Centre

Casper

Gender/Age: Male 5 Yrs
Breed: Border Collie
Colour: Black & White
Location: New Romney

Ball crazy Casper is looking for a new home as his owner became unwell and was unable to care for him. He is a sweet boy who loves nothing better than chasing a ball. He is a little unsure of dogs and can bark at those he doesn't know, he would benefit from further socialisation to help with this. He would be best suited to an active home where he can go on lots of exciting walks. If you're looking for someone just like Casper, please pop in during our opening hours, or contact us for more information.

Willow

Gender/Age: Female 4 years
Breed: Frenchie
Colour: Blue
Location: New Romney

Funny little Willow can't wait to find her forever home, she is an attention gremlin and lives for a fuss, she loves nothing better than curling up on the sofa with you in the evening. On walks she isn't keen on other dogs and would benefit from socialising to help with this, she likes her own space and would prefer to be the only pet in her new home (especially as it means she won't have to share her attention with anyone). She does have some allergies, which are being managed with diet and medication, you are welcome to discuss this further with our team if you have any questions. Willow hasn't had the best of luck and we hope that the next person to fall in love with her, will be able to spoil her rotten forever. If you think Willow is the one for you, pop in to meet her, or give us a call for more information.

Bali

Gender/Age: Male 3yrs
Breed: Greyhound
Colour: Black
Location: Edenbridge

Bali is a bouncy boy who has recently retired from racing. He enjoys a fuss and loves a run around. Due to being an ex racer Bali has never lived in a home environment before so will need a patient owner who can show him what life is like to be a pet. He is looking for a home with a secure garden of his own where he can run around off lead in.

Bali is full of beans and always on the go so would like an active owner who can take him on long walks. Whilst Bali can be very active he can also be very lazy and can be found lounging around in bed with all four feet up in the air. He has recently found his love for treats and toys and loves to throw them around in the air. Bali will need to be muzzled in public due to his high prey drive. He is ok with bigger dogs of his size but cannot be homed with cats, small furries or small fluffy dogs.

Rocco

Gender/Age: Male 2 years 5 months
Breed: Doberman X
Colour: Black & tan
Location: New Romney

Our lovable goofball Rocco is dreaming of people with hearts as big as he is. Weighing over 40kg, there is a lot of Rocco to love, but due to this he will be needing a home with people who are used to bigger dogs. He has lots of energy, and loves nothing more than exploring on long walks, or bouncing around with a ball. He is sociable with other dogs, however doesn't have the best manners and other dogs struggle to understand him, he would benefit from further socialising to help him with this. Rocco is a smart boy, and under all his goofiness he knows sit, paw, down and wait, being only young he would love people who can teach him more. He does have a very high prey drive so would not be able to live with any small animals, he also has springs for back legs and so will need a very secure garden to play in. If you are ready for a dog who comes with oodles of fun and love, please contact us for more information, or pop in to meet him.

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.

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.

Cobi

Gender/Age: male, 12 years
Breed: Jack Russell
Colour: tan and white
Location: Edenbridge

Cobi has had a troubled life. He originally came to us from the Welsh pound and was soon adopted by a couple who had him for three years. During this time, the man would force Cobi to do things that he did not want to do. He would force Cobi to wear a too-small harness and go out in heavy rain and thunderstorms. Cobi is scared of loud bangs, so this would have absolutely terrified poor Cobi. Because of this, Cobi started lashing out and became fear aggressive towards the couple, which ended up with him being returned for 'bad behaviour.' Cobi has had two homes since, and due to his original owner's behaviour, understandably, he now prefers a female owner. He will become attached to one person and will lash out at anyone else, so he is also better suited to a one-person home. Cobi loves to play fetch with tennis balls and will play for hours. He is very clever and is good at working out enrichment toys; he specifically loves liver treats and cut-up dog sausages put in a snuffle mat, where he can spend ages working out how to get every crumb out. He can be very affectionate on his own terms, but he will warn you when he has had enough. Due to having developed behavioural issues, Cobi has a bite history, so he will need an experienced and understanding owner. Cobi can be fearful of loud noises, specifically thunderstorms and fireworks. He will become very stressed, pant, and try to hide behind his bed and under blankets. He is best left with a loud radio to drown out the noise and to be left alone, as he becomes fearful and lashes out, probably remembering being forced to go out in them in his first home. Cobi, in the right home, would make a very loyal, loving pet. Please ask staff for more information about Cobi.

Jake

Gender/Age: Male, 8 years
Breed: Beagle
Colour: Tri Colour
Location: Edenbridge

Sadly Jake has recently become diabetic which has caused him to lose his vision, so we are desperately looking for a foster or forever home before he loses his sight completely. He will need insulin injections twice a day but he is such a good boy and waits patiently as he knows a tasty carrot is coming. Jake is one of our long termers who is very misunderstood, he has unfortunately come from a traumatic past which has caused him to bite when feeling threatened. Once Jake trusts you and knows you he is a very affectionate boy and loves a cuddle on the sofa. He is very good with other dogs socially but has to be only dog at home due to resource guarding. Jake is obsessed with food and will do anything to get hold of it so being a typical beagle he will try his very best to get what he wants. Looking for an adult home only who understands Jake's needs.

Roo

Gender/Age: Female 18months
Breed: German Shepherd
Colour: Black & tan
Location: New Romney

Roo is an excitable young girl who has obviously been loved at some point. She is incredibly smart and knows several tricks such as sit, down and paw. She is full of life and loves nothing better than chasing a ball and playing in water. She can get a little over excited and mouthy at times, but can be distracted with a ball, she will need lots of exercise and training to help with this. She is not keen on other dogs and will bark at those she sees on walks; she will need confidence building and socialising to help with this. Her ideal home would be an active, adult only home with no other pets and lots of tennis balls.

Ian

Gender/Age: Male 4yrs
Breed: Jack Russell Terrier x
Colour: Black & tan
Location: New Romney

Ian may look like a small terrier but oh boy can he bounce!!! He has very nearly cleared a 5ft fence, so the garden needs to be super secure! Ian loves making new doggie friends and has a few that he loves walking with on lead. Unfortunately Ian is not the best at making friends with people, he feels more comfortable around women and will need maybe a meet or two before he's jumping up for cuddles. Men are a different story and he is so scared of men so we are looking for an female adult only home with limited visiting men.

Pinky & Perky (aka The Pigs)!

Gender/Age: Females 8 yrs
Breed: Frenchies
Colour: Dark Brindle
Location: Edenbridge

Pinky and perky or the pigs as we all call them are not short of character! They will make you laugh everyday with their cheekiness and toddler like personality. They both love to play and would choose toys over treats. Perky loves to find the biggest cuddly toy she can and carry it around with her before ripping it up, Pinky loves all kinds of balls and will take herself off to her bed to chew on it. They both love attention and will come and sit on you for affection, perky will sit facing you breathing in your face whilst pinky will roll over for a belly scratch. Unfortunately due to not being socialised properly they take some time to get to know new people. Pinky more so than perky but once you’re in their club they are your best friends and will allow their owners to do anything with them. They can be vocal with dogs so would need to be the only dogs in the home. They cannot be homed with children, cats or any small animals. Pinky and perky are more like twins than sisters always doing things together and often copying each others movements exactly so will not be separated and have to be homed together.

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.

Gunner

Gender/Age: Male 7yrs
Breed: Spaniel
Colour: Chocolate
Location: Edenbridge

Gunner is a hyper energetic boy who is always on the move, he has bundles of energy and would love an active home with someone who can take him exploring for miles often, no matter how muddy and wet it is. Gunner is a typical Spaniel who loves to play ball and can play for hours. He will always find a ball when on walks and when playing fetch he will always bring the ball to your feet. Even though Gunner is a happy chap and is always wagging his tail, he is not keen on being over-fussed and likes his own space.

Outside the home Gunner is a little poser and will pose for a photo and will even perform some of his tricks for a treat. However, in the home Gunner does not have manners and will jump and sleep on the sofa and bed if he wants too. The best way to overcome this is to bribe him with a treat to get him off any other way to remove him or to get him to do something he doesn’t want to do results in him becoming vocal and stressed. Gunner can be stubborn and determined to do what he wants when he is in a certain mood, and this is something that would need to be worked on. When Gunner is on a wind down in the evenings, he will happily sit with you for a cuddle and stroke but not to be overfussed.

As you can tell by Gunner’s mop head of hair, he is not a fan of the groomers or being groomed. Gunner had a traumatic experience with this in the past so now he is very fearful and suspicious when something is happening to his fur. Everything must be done in stages and for short periods of time to work up building the trust to allow him to have a full proper groom. In Summer, we usually would shave him down so it’s all done and stress free for him, then his fur can grow back nice and fluffy ready for winter. Gunner loves the sound of his own voice and will be vocal for attention, food and even for walks.

Sadly, Gunner is not good with other animals especially Cats so would be looking for a pet free home. Gunner is looking for an active experienced adult only home, with someone who has the time and patience to put in the training Gunner needs in the home.

Tito

Gender/Age: Male 9yrs
Breed: Greyhound x Saluki
Colour: Tan
Location: New Romney

Hello I am Tito. I am a very loving dog, with the people I trust. I arrived at the New Romney rescue many years ago from a Welsh pound, no one knows my early previous history, but from my behaviour and the marks on my body, my friends at Last chance know I wasn't treated very nicely. Sometimes I can get anxious and see hands as a threat, I also struggle being out of my routine. One staff member says she is blessed to have my trust, I snuggle up for a fuss, offer her cuddles, demand a tummy tickle (poking my feet in her face) and enjoy her company on walks and in my kennel, but I admit, I do get jealous if anyone else is around us - even when I like the other people! I do get nervous around new people and situations, which sometimes means I can be a bit snappy. I am told I'm handsome and also super fit for my age, I can jump onto the picnic tables in our grounds in just one leap. I will run around the grounds chasing the wild rabbits and squirrels, but birds are my real nemesis, if only I could climb trees!!! I also love sunbathing on the grass and playing catch with my big ball, but I prefer the right company over treats and games and don't like to be left on my own. I am definitely not keen on walks in the rain or the cold! Due to my past experiences (and from the information my friends at Last Chance have gathered on my previous adoptions), I'm told I need a very special and experienced, single, adult only home, with no other animals, I may prefer a female human. Once I form a strong bond with you and feel safe, I will become your best friend, but this also means I will not want to share you, I have waited so long for you I want you all to myself!! I need a quiet home, with a secure garden, very rare visitors and definitely no children visiting! It would be best if you have a very structured routine that I could fit in to. I will need multiple visits from any potential adopter, so we can get used to each other. If you think I could be your best friend please speak to the staff at New Romney Tel: 01797 366620, or pop in to the centre during our opening times: Wed-Sun 11am-3pm. I have been at New Romney for a very long time, please consider me. Love Tito x

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
