Izzy & Tara

Gender/Age: Females 1yr
Breed: Dachshunds
Colour: Chocolate Dapple
Location: Edenbridge

Izzy and Tara have come into us due to no longer getting on with one of the other dogs in the home. They are a lovely pair of sisters who can be a little nervous at first. They will need a quiet home with patient and understanding owners who will give them the space and time needed to settle into their new home. They are very affectionate, loving girls who love a cuddle under the blankets and will follow you everywhere!

The girls have been together their whole life so are looking for a loving home together. They enjoy playing with toys and love their food. They are both young, energetic girls so are looking for an active home where they can burn off some energy. The girls have previously lived with calm older teenage children so could potentially do so again. Both are ok with dogs and previously lived with cats.

We've been told by other family members that Tad isn't good with other dogs and cannot live with cats. Due to his age he would not be suitable for a family with young kids.

Colour: White
Location: New Romney

Buddy is Looking for His Second Best Friend Buddy is my best friend here at the centre, and I would love nothing more than to find him a second best friend This cheeky old terrier knows exactly what he likes. He still enjoys his walks and exploring, and he’d love a secure garden where he can potter around. Because Buddy has a few behavioural quirks sadly Buddy has been returned 5 times, he needs an experienced home with no other pets or children — someone who understands stubborn terriers and can give him the patience and care he deserves.

Could you be Buddy’s second-best friend? Get in touch if you think you can offer him the forever home he’s been waiting for.

Sally

Gender/Age: Female, 2-3 years
Breed: Lurcher x
Colour: Tan
Location: New Romney

Sally is a firm favourite here with our staff and volunteers, she leaps from her kennel eager to have a cuddle every time she sees you. She does take a little while to trust and is wary of those she doesn't yet know so will need people who can give her the time and patience she needs. She loves going for walks but isn't keen on other dogs so would like to live somewhere where she can go for quiet, countryside walks where she can enjoy the peace and quiet. In the right home we hope she will find her confidence around new people and other dogs and in time be able to worry less about seeing them out and about, she just needs the right person to help her. If you have space in your heart for our Sally, please pop in or give us a call.

Stella

Gender/Age: Female 2-3 years
Breed: Lurcher x
Colour: Brown
Location: New Romney

Stella is one of our quirkier girls, apparently, she doesn't have the spark people are looking for, and as such still hasn't had anyone interested in her. When she knows you, she is an affectionate girl who will give paw and hold on to your hand, she enjoys her walks and walks nicely on the lead. She isn't keen on all dogs but does show an interest in similar breeds and has been known to have a little play with a fellow sighthound. Being a stray, we don't know what Stella has been through, but it has taught her to be wary of new people, she takes a while to trust and would like a quiet home with patient people due to this, she would prefer not to live with any children. If you think you could be the one to see what others don't, please pop in to meet our Stella, or phone for more information.

Benny

Gender/Age: Male 1years
Breed: Staffie x (medium-large)
Colour: Tan and white
Location: New Romney

Benny is 1 year old, a young and lively Staffy cross who’s bursting with love and personality. Benny came to us through no fault of his own, after changes in his previous home, and now he’s searching for a special someone to give him the forever home he truly deserves. Kennel life can be a bit frustrating for Benny what he really dreams of is a place where he can relax, learn, and feel secure. He’s still discovering the world around him, so he’s looking for a confident and patient owner who can guide him with gentle leadership, help him continue his training, and give him the structure he needs to thrive. Benny is strong and playful, and sometimes he gets a little overexcited on walks, including a cheeky habit of biting the lead. With ongoing training and regular socialising, he’ll pick up good manners in no time he’s eager to please and responds so well to positive attention. Benny has lived happily with older children 16+ but he can’t live with cats and will need to be the only dog in the home so he can have all your love and attention to himself. Please contact our New Romney centre

Clyde

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

Clyde is a big, bouncy boy who is full of beans and always on the go! He enjoys a treat and a fuss and loves to run around and chase tennis balls. He came into us after retiring from greyhound racing and is now looking for his loving forever home. Due to being an ex - racer, Clyde hasn't ever lived in a home environment before so will need a patient and understanding owner to show him what life is like being a pet. Clyde is looking for a home with a secure garden of his own where he can run around off lead freely in. Due to Clyde's high prey drive he will need to be muzzled in public. Clyde needs more socialising with other dogs as he unfortunately ahs no manners when meeting them. Due to his history Clyde is not to be introduced to small animals.

Buddy

Gender/Age: Male 6 yrs
Breed: Bulldog x Staffie
Colour: Fawn
Location: Edenbridge

Buddy was originally here as a puppy. He went to a new home for a year where he was not walked regularly and barely taken out the house. Therefore Buddy did not get the socializing he needed and developed fear aggression to any new person who entered his and his owners house, seeing them as a threat. So Buddy needs a strict one to one home with someone who has no visitors. Once Buddy knows you he is very affectionate and will bark at you for attention to lie all over you or to try the food you are eating. Buddy loves his food and treats and as he is a very slow walker and sometimes refusing to walk at all he needs a strict diet to help him maintain a healthy weight. Buddy loves his toys and will often throw them around to himself in excitement. His favourite toy is a dog friendly stick, although we have tried to give him more exciting toys he always goes back to his stick. Buddy can not live with any other dogs, cats or small animals.

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.

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.

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.

Barker

Gender/Age: Male, 5yrs
Breed: Greyhound
Colour: Black
Location: New Romney

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.

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
