Buddy Boy
Gender/Age:
Male 4 years
Breed:
Border Terrier/Pomeranian
Colour:
Tan
Location:
New Romney
Buddy Boy has arrived at Last Chance through no fault of his own. Buddy Boy would benefit being the only pet with a single owner as he can get protective over his human. When Buddy Boy is familiar with you he is happy to curl up on the sofa with you and is really loving. Buddy Boy loves to play with his toys and a good ball. He would not suit a home with children. If you are interested in offering Buddy Boy his forever home, please contact the centre or visit during opening hours.
Big Bear
Gender/Age:
Male 1 year
Breed:
Boxer x
Colour:
Black & white
Location:
Edenbridge
Big Bear sadly came to us as a stray from the pound so no history is known prior to coming to last chance. He is a big strong boy who loves his walks and all the new smells. He is ok with female dogs but would greatly benefit from lots of gentle socialising with other dogs. He is a happy boy and loves his food and treats. He is starting to respond well to training with treats so would need an owner to continue this. As he is a big bouncy boy we recommend an adult only home with a strong owner.
Arrow
Gender/Age:
Male 2 years
Breed:
Husky x Staffie
Colour:
Tan and white
Location:
New Romney
Meet the lovely Arrow! He's only just come in to our New Romney branch and he's quickly made friends with everyone! He loves people so much and just gets a bit over excited and jumps up a lot so he will need some training. He is such a lovely boy who just wants a forever home where he can have all the cuddles and tennis balls to play with. We've been told that Arrow is good with dogs, cats and older kids aged 8+.
Charlie and Lola
Gender/Age:
Female and male 10 years
Breed:
Jack Russell Terrier

Siblings Charlie and Lola have recently come back to us for rehoming as they did not get on with the cat. They are an incredibly sweet pair who are looking to go home together as they are bonded. Charlie and Lola love to go on walks and have a good sniff around. If you feel like you can give this sweet pair a home then come and visit them at out New Romney Centre Wed-Sun 11am-3pm.

Willow
Gender/Age:
Female 4 years
Breed:
French Bulldog
Colour:
Blue
Location:

Willow is a sweet little girl who has sadly been returned to us. Willow loves a cuddle with a blanket and a hot water bottle in the winter months. She has been around children and other dogs and gets on well. Willow has allergies and will require a cytopoint injection every 4 weeks. If you feel like you can give Willow her forever home then come and visit at out New Romney Centre Wed-Sun 11am-3pm.
Bear
Gender/Age:
Male 4 years
Breed:
Frenchie
Colour:
Tan and black
Location:
New Romney
Poor Bear hasn't had the greatest start in life, he was rescued from an abusive home but unfortunately has had to be rehomed since then due to no fault of his own. Due to his history he can become very protective of his home and so we are looking for an adult only home with no visiting children. If you can offer Bear his forever home (and with all the squeaky toys he could ever want) then please pop into our New Romney branch between 11am and 3pk Weds-Sun.
Reggie
Gender/Age:
Male 2yrs
Breed:
Old English Bulldog
Colour:
Whaite & Tan
Location:
Edenbridge
Reggie is incredibly friendly and affectionate. He’s never been aggressive to people or dogs, but he can be a bit too loving at times. Reggie adores people and loves to get as close as possible to them. As his eyesight and hearing are impaired touch and smell are his main senses, so he needs to be approached slowly to avoid getting scared. If you’re sitting down, Reggie will happily climb onto your lap. If he gets a chance, he’ll even climb up onto the back of your neck. Reggie loves cuddles and playtime, especially fetch with a ball. Reggie doesn’t like being alone for too long. He’s good at night, but he’ll occasionally bark and need reassurance if he sees a shadow he doesn’t like. He’s scared of the dark. Reggie also doesn’t like the rain! Sometimes, Reggie can get a bit carried away with playtime and nips. But it’s all playful behaviour, and he just needs to be calmed down. Reggie will make a great companion for someone who has the time for him. He can be strong on the lead, but once he gets going, he’s such a good boy
Narla
Gender/Age:
Female 4yrs
Breed:
Pocket Bully
Colour:
Tan
Location:
New Romney
Nala is a super affectionate girl who just loves having a nice cuddle and a fuss after a day of playing. She came from the Welsh pound with no history so cannot be rehomed with children. She was fighting with her sister but could potentially live with a neutered male but will need further testing as she is still new to us.
Dave
Gender/Age:
Male 6 years
Breed:
Border terrier
Colour:
Brown and black
Location:
New Romney
Poor Dave hasn't had the best of luck, he was returned to us because he was getting too worked up by other dogs on walks and took a while to unwind afterwards. Dave is a lovely boy who loves a game of fetch and even brings the ball back (most of the time anyway). As Dave gets worked up by other dogs, we are looking for an experienced, adult only home, who live in a quiet area where there are not a lot of dogs around. Come and visit him at out New Romney Centre Wed-Sun 11am-3pm. Hope to see you soon.
Stella
Gender/Age:
Female 2-3 years
Breed:
Lurcher x
Colour:
Brown
Location:
New Romney
Poor Stella has recently come from the Welsh pound with no history. She's not had the best time as is evident by how scared she is of new people and environments. Stella is very nervous of men and so we are looking for a female only home with no or limited visiting men.
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.
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!
Heidi
Gender/Age:
Female 4yrs
Breed:
German Shepherd
Colour:
Black & tan
Location:
New Romney
Poor Heidi has recently come back to us because she became overly protective of her new owner. She is a lovely dog who will need time to adjust to her new surroundings so during this time we advise on having limited visitors. Due to her territorial behaviour we are looking for an adult only home where she can be the only pet.
Rocco
Gender/Age:
male 1yr
Breed:
Doberman X
Colour:
Black & tan
Location:
New Romney
Rocco originally came into us as he was due to be put to sleep as his owners couldn't give him what he needs. When Rocco first came in he was extremely nervous and wouldn't move from his bed, everything was scary and he couldn't understand where he was, for a few weeks Rocco would shy away from people and only go to a walk when he really needed a toilet. After a while Rocco grew to like a couple of members of staff who spent lots of time with him to bring him out of his shell and he learned to trust again. Today Rocco is a different dog, he is a very happy chap who loves everyone at the centre and loves going for walks and could be out for hours. Rocco has a high prey drive so can not be rehomed with cats or small furries. Rocco loves to play with tennis balls and has recently discovered footballs, where he will try for ages to pick it up in his mouth, barking at it in frustration. Rocco has not been socialised with other dogs and can be vocal, so he must have slow gentle socialising when he is settled in the home and to be the only pet for now. Rocco can become overwhelmed easily and gets frustrated so needs an understanding owner.
Buster
Gender/Age:
Male 7yrs
Breed:
Bulldog
Colour:
Tan and white
Location:
Edenbridge
Buster is a typically stubborn bulldog. He loves nothing more his big comfy bed, getting under the covers and lots of treats. He can be reluctant to walk in an any adverse weather but likes a stroll at his own pace wherever he wants to go. Buster is a nosey dog and loves coming through our office to sniff new smells and helping to feed the office fish. He will often steal staffs leads and carry his bowl to his bed where Buster can become protective over this and any long-lasting treats. He loves a butt scratch and will roll in long grass for you to scratch his tummy and can be quite affectionate on his own terms. Buster is not short on character but will need an experienced owner. He must go to a male one to one home as Buster loves men. He does not like people coming in to his home so will need to be kept separate. Buster needs a very understanding owner who will respect his boundaries and give him the time and space he needs. Please contact Edenbridge for more information.
Shadow
Gender/Age:
Female 9 mths
Breed:
Labrador x
Colour:
Black & white
Location:
New Romney
Shadow is a super playful girl with lots of love to give. She can be extremely wary of strangers so will need someone who is willing to put in the time and effort with her and come in multiple times to meet her. However once she knows you she's very sweet. Shadow's size and young age means that she will require training and socialisation classes to help her adjust to life outside a kennel. She came in from our Welsh pound and cannot live with any children so we are looking for an adult only household with no visiting children.
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
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
Ralphie
Gender/Age:
Male 4 yrs
Breed:
Lurcher
Colour:
Brindle
Location:
Edenbridge
Ralphie originally came into us after Covid as his owners thought they were getting a labrador puppy. He was being kept in a flat without a garden and had had no socialising with people. Ralphie is brilliant with other dogs and has had many friends here over the years, so he would love to have a friend in the home or a regular walking companion. When Ralphie first came into us he would get very frustrated and he would show this in mouthing and occasionally snapping, he has mostly grown out of this but needs a very kind owner to understand his behaviour and help with his training with this. Ralphie loves to run around with other dogs but also loves to chase a tennis ball so would need a secure garden where he could play freely. Ralphie does love a gentle fuss, especially a butt scratch, however he does have boundaries and will let you know when he has had enough. Ralphie loves his bed and often sleeps with all 4 legs in the air, so would love a big comfy bed in the sun to lounge in. Ralphie is muzzled trained and is also housetrained here in the kennels. Ralphie needs an experienced adult only home with no cats or small furries.
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
Sally
Gender/Age:
Female, 2-3 years
Breed:
Lurcher x
Colour:
Tan
Location:
New Romney
The loveable Sally came to us from the Welsh pound so we don't have a history for her. Due to this we cannot rehome her with kids. Sally is dog reactive so she will need some socialising to help with this and will need to be the only pet in the property. Sally can be nervous of new people so may need a couple of regular visits to encourage the cuddlebug we know her to be. If you think you can give this lovely girl her forever home then please pop in to our New Romney centre, during opening hours or phone 01797 366620 to discuss further.
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.
Kayla & Kiwi
Gender/Age:
Females 6yrs & 10yrs
Breed:
Jack Russell Terrier
Colour:
Tan and black
Location:
Edenbridge
Sadly these two girls, who are mother and daughter, have come into us for rehoming due to their owner having dementia and being taken into care. Their owner tried their best to take care of kiwi and Kayla and they were well loved however due to his illness the girls haven’t received the vet treatment they needed and came into us with skin problems. These have been treated at Last Chance and noticeable improvements have been made and fur is growing back, but there is still a way to go before they have a full fur coat. This does not stop the girls from living life to the fullest. They were sadly not walked for a year and lived in a small room so they are loving the new freedom that they have. Due to this they are not socialised with dogs and would need a patient and understanding owner. Kayla is very busy and is always on the go being nosy but will jump on your lap for a fuss when she is done. Kiwi is a little quieter and takes life in her own pace and loves coming to you for gentle affection. Neither girls have lived with children and find lots of noise overwhelming so are looking for an adult only home with no other pets.
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.
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.
Rosie
Gender/Age:
Female 6 years
Breed:
Lurcher
Colour:
Tan and white
Location:
Edenbridge
Rosie was originally with us with her mum as a litter of puppies and has been in a home since. She has been returned to us due to no fault of her own as her owners situation has changed. Rosie can be a nervous girl in new situations and was very shy when meeting new people. We have socialised her with lots of volunteers since being with us and she is starting to enjoy meeting new friends. Rosie loves her walks and could be out for hours looking for new smells. Due to Rosie’s owners circumstances Rosie became protective of her owner whilst out and about with other dogs and can be vocal on walks. She can be hit and miss with some dogs so would need gentle socialising with an understanding owner. Rosie loves to sleep under the covers on the bed and loves a gentle fuss. She loves to throw soft toys around to herself while playing. Rosie has previously lived with older children and cats. However would need a chilled cat who is used to being around dogs.
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.
Olivia
Gender/Age:
Female, 2yrs
Breed:
Frenchie
Colour:
Seal & Tan
Location:
New Romney
It's been over a year since miss Olivia came into us from the Welsh pound. We had no history on her and so we've had to figure out her personality as we went. Olivia truly is a lovely girl and wants nothing more than having a good bum scratch and chasing leaves in the wind. Unfortunately, she has some behavioural problems which has made her difficult to rehome. Olivia will fixate on toys and food (and sometimes even her own sick) and she will guard. When she is in this mindset she cannot be reasoned with and no matter how much she loves you, in that moment nothing is more important than the object she is guarding. Due to this behaviour we are only looking for an EXPERIENCED ADULT ONLY home where she can be the only pet within the property. She cannot live with children.
Sammy
Gender/Age:
Male 4yrs
Breed:
Greyhound
Colour:
Black
Location:
Edenbridge
Sammy is a very happy boy, his tail is always wagging and he just loves everyone he meets. He is an ex-racing greyhound and before coming to last chance he didn’t know what toys were. Now he absolutely loves a squeaky toy and to chase balls however is still getting to grips with bringing his catch back to be thrown again. As Sammy has been taught to chase small fluffy things he can not be rehomed with any other small animals, cats or small fluffy dogs, however he is good with dogs his own size and other greyhounds. Sammy walks very nicely on the lead often at your side. Sammy loves to have a 5 minute zoomies session followed by lots of affection where he will stand and pant directly in your face not quite understanding yet how to fully receive love. He is looking for a loving home from his retirement from racing, He can be rehomed with older children.
Tess
Gender/Age:
Female 1 year
Breed:
Belgian Shepherd
Colour:
Black
Location:
New Romney
Gorgeous Tess came to us from the Welsh pound with very little history so therefore cannot be rehomed with kids. We do know that poor Tess was found in a home where her owner had passed away a few days prior. Despite her sad start in life, she has really come out of her shell and loves running around and playing fetch with our staff. Tess is a young girl who is very strong and playful and just has so much love to give. Tess needs an owner in her life who has a lot of time to work on her leash pulling and general manners; as she will jump up at people in excitement. She has been excited at seeing other dogs and so far has shown no signs of being dog reactive or aggressive. She has not been cat tested at this time.
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
Roo
Gender/Age:
Female 18months
Breed:
German Shepherd
Colour:
Black & tan
Location:
New Romney
Bouncy Roo has come into us as a stray from the Welsh pound and so we do not have a history for her. She was very nervous when she first came in but has really come out of her shell over the last week. Roo is only a young girl who can sometimes get overexcited while playing and will mouth a lot; and so she will need a lot of training and socialising. She has been dog reactive while she has been here with us so she will need to be the only dog in the property. As a Welsh dog she cannot live with children.
Archie and Ruby
Gender/Age:
Male (7 years) and Female (5 years)
Breed:
Boxer
Colour:
Red
Location:
New Romney
Archie and Ruby have been handed over to Last Chance due to their owner sadly passing away. Archie and Ruby are a lovely pair that are full of beans and lots of love to give. Ruby likes to have a nibble of clothing when she gets excited and may accidently catch fingers. This pair will need an active home with no other pets or children. If you are interested in offering Archie and Ruby their forever home, please contact the centre or visit during opening hours.
Whippy
Gender/Age:
Female 8yrs
Breed:
Greyhound
Colour:
Fawn
Location:
Edenbridge
Whippy is a funny girl. She can be submissive and scared very easily. She doesn’t like walking on tiled floor and will cry to try and get to you. Whippy loves to run and also loves to be chased by people around a safe space. She likes her toys and will carry them to her bed and lay on them. Whippy loves her owners and will stand up for a cuddle and cling on to your arm for attention. In the home Whippy can be very lazy in between walks and loves a big bed to lounge on. Whippy gets very protective of her owners in and out of the home so needs a very understanding owner with few visitors. She must be the only pet in an adult only home. Whippy is good with bigger dogs but not with small fluffy dogs as she is an ex-racer and has a very high prey drive.
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.
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.

Colour:
Black & tan
Location:
New Romney
Meet Roxy the Rottie! This big bundle of love makes friends with everyone she meets and loves nothing more than having a cuddle (that always leads to a good belly rub). Most of the time Roxy is great on the lead but sometimes can pull when she gets excited and wants to say hi to someone, so we are looking for someone who is strong enough to handle her. We are looking for someone who has an active lifestyle who will help her loose some weight and do some basic and gentle training with her. Roxy has met a few dogs through fences and has been ok with most of them, so she potentially could live with a calm male dog. As we don't have a history for Roxy, she cannot live with young children.
Milligan
Gender/Age:
Male 3yrs
Breed:
Greyhound
Colour:
Black
Location:
Edenbridge
Milligan is an ex-racing greyhound and is looking for a retirement home. We are not sure what has happened to him previously but he is very nervous around new people especially men. He can shut down when meeting new people so if often overlooked. Once he knows and trusts you he is the happiest boy always wagging his tail and wanting affection, he loves a big fuss now he knows what it is. Milligan is easily startled and loud noises are still scary to him but he is getting better day by day. He like many greyhounds has found his love in toys and will always manage to find a squeaky toy whilst on our runs and take it back to his kennel as a trophy. Milligan needs a patient and quiet home with someone in most of the time to show him that life isn't all scary, so we think he is better suited to a home with older gentle children or no children at all. He loves his walks and being outside enjoying all the new smells. No cats or small dogs.
Dolly Daydream
Gender/Age:
Female 3-5 years
Breed:
Pocket Bully
Colour:
Black
Location:
New Romney
Meet Dolly! Lovely Dolly has had little interest in the months she has been here and we don't know why! Dolly is the most loving dog you will ever meet who just loves every person and dog she meets. She loves nothing more than having a squeaky toy and a belly rub. Poor Dolly has little legs that struggle on long walks and using stairs, so she would prefer a home with no or little stairs and with a decent sized garden. Dolly came from the Welsh pound with no history so she cannot live with kids and she will need some toilet training.
Walnut
Gender/Age:
Male 1-2 years
Breed:
German Shepherd
Colour:
Black & tan
Location:
Edenbridge
Walnut came to us from the Welsh pound, he was previously being kept outside often without food or shelter. When walnut first came to us he was stick thin and continuously had an upset stomach due to poor diet and malnutrition, He is now on a good diet and his issues are under control. When he first came in to us, he was also very fearful of men and would bark in fear, due to gentle socialising with some very kind and gentle volunteers he is now improving with this. Walnut is very eager to learn and is responding well to treat based training. After the initial excitement of being taken on a walk he calms down and walks at a leisurely pace. Walnut is starting to understand what affection is and now appreciates a cuddle and a gentle brush. He needs socialising with other dogs as he has absolutely no manners and is currently very boisterous with them, therefore ideally, he needs to be the only pet in the home or to go with an established dog of same size and energy and a knowledgeable owner. Walnut loves toys as he has probably never had any of his own previously, he will often find them out and about and take them back to his bed. Adult only home, no cats or small animals.
Marley
Gender/Age:
Male 1 years
Breed:
Greyhound
Colour:
Black
Location:
New Romney
Lovable Marley is still looking for his forever home! Poor boy came to us from the Welsh pound with no history so he cannot live with children. Marley unfortunately came in to us in a bit of a state. He was severely underweight and his ears were shredded. After months of lots of treats and wearing the cone of shame, he's looking so much better and is enjoying his freedom. Marley absolutely loves everyone and has a habit of jumping up to say hi, he has also been introduced on lead to many different dogs and has made best friends with every single one. Marley could live with another dog but would not be a good fit for a home with cats.
Mick
Gender/Age:
Male 4 years
Breed:
Greyhound
Colour:
White
Location:
New Romney
Mick came to Last Chance from our recent trip to Wales. We have no history on him, but he seems quite sweet and friendly so far. Mick will not be able to live with children or cats, but could potentially live with another dog. If you are interested in offering Mick his forever home, please contact the centre or visit during opening hours.

Barker is another one of our lovely ex racers we have here at New Romney. Barker is a really happy boy who loves long walks and having lots of cuddles. He can get so excited that he just can't control himself and will do lots of zoomies. At his core Barker is a sweet, loving dog who just wants a nice sofa to cuddle up on with his new forever people. If you're interested in coming to meet Barker then 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.
Wicky Whacker
Gender/Age:
Male 2yrs
Breed:
Greyhound
Colour:
Brindle
Location:
Edenbridge
Wicky is an ex-racing greyhound so is looking for his forever retirement home. Wicky always gets VERY excited to go on his walks and jumps around in circles until he is out walking, where he then walks to heel on the lead unless he sees something small and furry. He is muzzled trained and we would recommend him wearing this around smaller dogs as he has only ever been around dogs of his size. Wicky is always full of beans and is not short on character, he loves everyone he meets and is a firm volunteer favourite here always wagging his tail which whips everyone in the legs. He also loves his toys, the squeakier the better, he will play with himself in his kennel until he has tired himself out where he would love a big comfy bed to lounge in the sun in.
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.
Charlie
Gender/Age:
Male, 5yrs
Breed:
Greyhound
Colour:
Tan
Location:
New Romney
Poor Charlie has been here nearly 2 years now and he's still patiently waiting for his new owners! Charlie is a big boy who is generally scared of everything new to him so he will need someone who is super patient and understanding to help show him that the world is not so scary after all. Once Charlie has built up a relationship with someone (with the help of cocktail sausages) he seems like a completely different dog. During his stay with us Charlie has made many friends with female greyhounds so he could potentially live with a calm female. As Charlie is incredibly nervous, his potential owners will need to visit multiple times so that he can get used to them. As Charlie is an ex-racer, he cannot live with cats or small animals. If you think you might be able to offer this, please pop in to our New Romney centre, during opening hours, to meet Charlie or phone 01797 366620 to discuss further.
Rocco
Gender/Age:
Male 17 Months
Breed:
Parson Terrier
Colour:
Black & white
Location:
Edenbridge
Rocco is finding kennels very scary and he does take some time to gain your trust. Rocco is looking for an adult home only who have had this breed before. He still acts like a typical puppy who loves playing with his toys. He can be a little snappy when feeling threatened or scared. Rocco needs plenty of exercise and someone who has the time and patience for him.
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.
Rolo
Gender/Age:
Male 4yrs
Breed:
Terrier
Colour:
Black & tan
Location:
Edenbridge
Rolo is a very busy boy. He loves to chase anything that moves and will do this all day. He loves his walks and stops to smell everything. He loves to get snug in his bed and he buries himself under his covers when he sleeps. Rolo is very affectionate and tries to jump on your lap for a cuddle. He loves his toys and will find his favourite and run about with it in his mouth. He is a very active boy so needs lots of exercise.
Rolo has a very high prey drive and try to chase everything. He can get himself very worked up over this and needs a very understanding owner to help him calm down. Rolo is also very reactive to other dogs and can redirect so will need an experienced owner. We think that Rolo would love lots of secure land where he can safely explore and with a very patient and understanding owner who can appreciate Rolo’s needs and give him all the love he deserves. He must be the only pet in an adult only home.
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.
Milo
Gender/Age:
Male 3 years
Breed:
GSD x Husky
Colour:
Black and Tan
Location:
New Romney
Milo has been back with us for a few months now and has hardly any interest! He's such a lovely boy who is so cuddly and playful and would make a lovely dog for the right people. Milo may look like a German Shepherd but the Husky part of him comes out on walks where he can be stubborn at times and only wants to walk the way he wants. Milo is a very vocal boy at times and can get especially vocal when he sees other dogs, which we previously mistook for dog aggression; as it turns out Milo just gets so excited at the idea of making a new friend! He's been on many on lead walks with multiple dogs and he's loved every single one! While we would consider Milo living with another dog, he cannot live with cats as he has a high prey drive and loves to chase them.
Luna
Gender/Age:
Female 6 years
Breed:
American Bulldog
Colour:
White
Location:
Edenbridge
Luna came to us in 2022 aged only 2 years old with all 6 of her puppies as Luna had been used for breeding. All of Lunas pups have found loving new homes but sadly Luna has yet to find a home of her own. Originally Luna was a shell of a dog when she come in for rehoming, she would show no emotion to anyone and would not let us near her for any attention. And it was clear to see that Luna never received any form of training, socialising or love. Now she’s a very cheeky girl who loves to push the boundaries especially with new people. Luna did not seem to know what love was at first and used to freeze when receiving attention especially a cuddle. But she is starting to enjoy it so would need time and patience to finally relax and be a happy girl in the home she deserves. Luna had no socialising with dogs outside of being bred with before coming to last chance. Since then she has been well socialised and she has had numerous friends. Luna has to be the top dog and still sometimes struggles with initially saying hello but with positive reinforcement and the continuing of training this will continue to improve, but we feel for now she must be the only pet in the home. Luna has a fear of men especially ones in hi-vis jackets however she is improving, with gentle and slow introductions followed by positive rewards. Any potential new owners for Luna would need to visit us a few times to help build a bond with her so she feels safe when going home with them. Luna can get very overwhelmed very quickly so would need someone confident who can help calm her down when she gets herself in this state. Sadly due to her fear, she would be looking for an experienced adult only home with no other dogs or cats. She is best as the only pet in the home where she can have your sole focus and attention.
Dancer
Gender/Age:
Male 8yrs
Breed:
Collie x
Colour:
Black and Tan
Location:
Edenbridge
We rescued Dancer from the Welsh pound. From his breed and behavior, we believe he was originally a farm dog. When Dancer knows you, he is very affectionate and loves jumping up for cuddles. Dancer loves going out for walks and exploring new places. When he is on the lead, he does get protective and will nip if anyone approaches him. He needs an adult-only home in a rural setting, where he is the only pet in the home. He needs a rural home due to not liking ongoing traffic, so a quieter setting is very much needed.
Chas
Gender/Age:
Male 4yrs
Breed:
Greyhound
Colour:
Black & white
Location:
New Romney
Chas is one of our many ex-racers that we have at Last Chance. Poor Chas has been here nearly a year now and no one has come in for him! We are desperate to find this lovely boy a home, he's really well behaved and will do anything for a biscuit or two. He has been amazing with all of our volunteers and loves saying hi to everyone that walks in his direction. As Chas is an ex-racer he cannot live with cats or small animals. Visit him Wed-Sun 11am-3pm at our New Romney Centre. Hope to see you soon.
Agassi
Gender/Age:
Male 4yrs
Breed:
Greyhound
Colour:
Black
Location:
Edenbridge
Agassi is an ex-racing greyhound and may never have lived in a home environment. He is starting to enjoy retirement and has recently realised how much fun squeaky/cuddly toys are and loves to chuck them around his kennel to himself and carry them off to his bed to chew on. Agassi is a funny boy when it comes to food and unlike most greyhounds he is very particular about what he eats, he will lick the meat off and spit out the biscuits he doesn't like the taste of. Now he realises what attention is, he is loving a fuss and will walk into you with his head and wait for a stroke. Agassi is good around other dogs his size but no small animals or fluff dogs due to his prey drive. Agassi is looking for a loving retirement home with someone who can give him the time and love he deserves.
Hammer
Gender/Age:
Male 3yrs
Breed:
Greyhound
Colour:
Light Brindle
Location:
Edenbridge
Hammer is a happy chap, he loves laying on a comfy bed in the sun and watching the world go by. He loves to have a cuddle and will stop mid walk for a lean and some affection. Hammer has had a reoccurring corn that had stopped him from wanting to go for walks at the time and it has taken a while for us to encourage him to walk now that the corn has been removed and it has healed. He loves a squeaky toy and will chuck it around his kennel often laying on his side and using his feet to help throw it around, then diving on it again. Hammer is an ex-racer and loves to chase wildlife so we would recommend him being walked on a muzzle. He is used to being around dogs his size but can not be homed with small fluffy dogs, cats or small animals. Hammer loves his food and will let you know if you are late feeding him. He has never lived in a home environment before so will need a kind loving owner to show him what it is to be a pet.
Rocky
Gender/Age:
Male 3yrs
Breed:
Greyhound
Colour:
Black
Location:
New Romney
Rocky is another one of our sweet ex-racers who are looking for their forever home. Rocky is super chilled and loves having a cuddle but he loves nothing more than playing fetch (and will sometimes even bring the ball back!). While in a foster home, Rocky was found to get possessive of his toys around other dogs, so we think that he would be better suited in a home where he is the only pet. As an ex-racer, Rocky cannot live with cats or small animals. If you feel like you could be Rocky's forever person then please pop into our New Romney branch to visit him, he can't wait to meet you!
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
Lexi
Gender/Age:

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.
Mallow
Gender/Age:
Male 5yrs
Breed:
Jack Russell Terrier x
Colour:
Black & white
Location:
Edenbridge
Mallow is a very energetic dog. He needs a lot of physical and mental stimulation. He can be very vocal in the house and on walks so needs a rural home with little distractions. Once he is calm, he can be very cuddly on the sofa and playful. He loves to play with toys, especially balls, the squeakier the better!! He had a very high prey drive so we advise keeping him on the lead. He must be the only dog with no other animals in the home. He needs an adult only home with someone used to bouncy dogs. Mallow will make a wonderful companion to someone who has the time and patience to put into his training and care.
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 865530Page last updated: 23 April 2025 11:33:44
