Boss

Gender/Age: Male 7 years
Breed: Rottie
Colour: Black & tan
Location: New Romney

Boss has come to Last Chance through no fault of his own. He is a strong boy but so incredibly gentle and sweet with people and loves meeting dogs while out on walks. Boss has never lived with other dogs or cats but has never shown a single sign of aggression towards anything and so could potentially live with them. He has lived with kids before (8+). Boss is looking for a home with direct access to a secure garden and someone who can handle him on lead.

Rocket

Gender/Age: Male 2yrs
Breed: Dachshund
Colour: Black & tan
Location: Edenbridge

Rocket is a sweet loving boy who has typical sausage dog traits. He loves burrowing under the duvet to get nice and snug. Rocket is a very affectionate boy loves to give cuddles. Rocket is looking for a rural but active home - He absolutely loves his walks but has a huge fear of traffic. Potential new owners would need to work on helping Rocket overcome this fear. Rocket loves his toys but sadly does not like to share fluffy toys and will guard the fluff if he manages to destroy the toys. Rocket is looking for a rural active adult only home with someone who can help work on overcoming his fear of traffic and barking.

Bono

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

Bono has come back into our care through no fault of his own. This happy, friendly boy is full of life and absolutely loves a good zoom around—but don’t be fooled, he’s just as happy being couch potato when it’s time to relax! He walks nicely on the lead and enjoys socialising with other large dogs, making him a great companion for the right match. If you think you could offer Bono the loving home he deserves then please come down and register your interest.

Django

Gender/Age: Male 2 years
Breed: Staffie x
Colour: Black
Location: New Romney

Django has unfortunately been returned due to some behavioural problems in the home. Django needs an experienced dog owner and will need to be the only dog in an adult only home. He would benefit from some training as he has resource guarding problems and is very protective of the home. Django is a very sweet boy who just needs an owner who is willing to work on his issues with him. Django originally came to us with a fear of men but once he feels comfortable with you he is a very affectionate boy.

Etna

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

Etna is a newly retired ex-racer who is looking for an adult only home where she can enjoy her retirement. She has been around other greyhounds and could live with a neutered male dog. She cannot live with small animals or cats. If you would like to come meet Etna, she is available for viewings at our New Romney site.

Bubba

Gender/Age: Male 6yrs
Breed: Terrier
Colour: Grey
Location: New Romney

Bubba has been returned due to reactive behaviour around children. Due to this he will need to be in an adult only home and to be the only dog in the home as he can become more reactive around other dogs. Bubba is a typical terrier who loves to bark when out but is a lot calmer when in the home. He may need some training to work on his behavioural problems.

John

Gender/Age: Male 1 year
Breed: Staffie
Colour: Blue
Location: New Romney

John originally came to Last Chance from the Welsh pound, so there is little history for him and cannot live with children. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances he has found his way back to us. His previous owners have tried to work with John to overcome his dog reactivity, pulling on lead and to help with his anxiety. Unfortunately, he still dislikes other dogs and so will need to be the only pet in the property but has improved massively with lead walking. He still has some anxiety and will find comfort in his blanket and will often carry it around with him. This is John's favourite time of year and would love to find a home with a garden that he can spend his time sunbathing in, so if you're interested then please come and meet him at our New Romney branch.

Rolo

Gender/Age: Male, 18 months
Breed: Shepherd x bulldog
Colour: Black & tan
Location: New Romney

Rolo is a very nervous boy who will need an owner who is willing to work with him to overcome some of his fears. He is really lovely with people and very playful but has shown signs of some toy possessiveness so cannot live with young children. We are giving him some time to settle and we will then do some dog tests on him to see whether there is potential that he could live with another dog.

Melwood

Gender/Age: Male 10 years
Breed: Shih Tzu x Poodle
Colour: Black
Location: Edenbridge

Melwood has sadly been returned to us and is now starting his search for his forever home again. He will need to go to a 1-2-1 adult only home with minimal to no visitors and no visiting children. Melwood is a very happy boy who loves nothing more than playing with his toys and chasing a ball! He can be a little nervous of some people at first but doesn't take long to warm up to you. Melwood is looking for an active owner as despite his age he is still very energetic and enjoys his walks and sniffing all the plants. Whilst we haven't seen this behaviour with us in kennels we have been told that Melwood does resource guard in the home so an owner who has experience with this would be ideal. Melwood needs a patient and understanding owner who will give him the time and space he needs to settle into his new home. He loves his own space and would benefit from having a space of his own where he feels safe. Melwood truly is a lovely boy who has so much love to give, he can be an affectionate boy who enjoys a fuss at times though this must all be on his own terms. He would make a great companion to someone who has the time and patience to help him and understands when to give him his space. We have been told that Melwood is ok with some dogs when on his walks though he must be the only pet in a 1-2-1 adult only home. Please contact our Edenbridge centre for more information if you feel you can offer Melwood a loving forever home.

Ian

Gender/Age: Male 5yrs
Breed: Jack Russell Terrier x
Colour: Black & tan
Location: New Romney

Cheeky little Ian really lives up to his terrier nature; in the right home he is sure to make his new people laugh every day. He is an active boy, who loves exciting walks and chasing after a squeaky ball. He does have springs for back legs and can jump very high, so will need a nice secure garden to play in. He is always keen to meet new dogs, although we believe he would be best at the only dog in the home so he can be the centre of attention. Being a stray, we do not know what he has been through, but he can take a long time to trust, so will need an adult only home and someone dedicated to becoming his friend and coming to the centre to meet him several times. Once Ian gets to know someone he is the sweetest boy who just needs someone to come and give him a chance to find his forever home.

Buddy Boy

Gender/Age: Male 4 years
Breed: Labrador
Colour: Yellow
Location: New Romney

Buddy Boy has come to Last Chance by no fault of his own. He is a very happy boy that loves everyone but unfortunately is reactive towards other dogs. Buddy Boy can be quite strong on lead and would benefit from some training and a strong owner who is willing to work with him through his issues. Buddy could possibly go to a home with older kids but must be the only pet in the property. If you think you could offer him a home please contact our New Romney Centre.

Penny

Gender/Age: Female 8yrs
Breed: Lurcher
Colour: Black
Location: Edenbridge

Penny is a very sweet and cuddly girl who has so much affection and love to offer to someone willing to give her the chance of a new life. She has a big personality and her funny ways can instantly put a smile on your face. Penny is looking for a home where she can relax, chill on the sofa and start to enjoy her retirement. Despite her age, she is still full of beans and loves her walks. At the rescue, Penny can be reactive with other dogs, but with slow introductions she comes around quickly and it is mostly just barking. If you are looking for a new furry best friend, Penny could be the girl for you.

Poppy

Gender/Age: Female 2 year
Breed: Lab x
Colour: Black
Location: Edenbridge

Poppy has sadly found herself back with us in kennels due to her owner no longer being able to cope with her reactivity. She is a lovely young girl who is very energetic so will need an active home with a secure garden of her own where she can run around off lead. Poppy had originally come into us from the pound so we don't have any history on her prior to that. She is a very nervous girl and we believe she had received little to no socialising or training before coming into us. Because of this she will need patient and understanding owners who will have the time to socialise her and help her overcome her fears. She is a playful girl who enjoys a game of ball and is often seen carrying a toy or blanket. Poppy is a big girl and can pull on the lead at times so will need a strong owner who can handle this. She can be reactive to strangers and other animals when out so will need slow socialising and some training. Once she knows you she is the biggest baby who just wants cuddles and to give kisses. Poppy could potentially live with a neutered male dog of similar size and similar energy levels. She will need a home with someone who is around for most of the day. No cats or small furries. She cannot be homed with young children. Here Poppy is pictured with her friend Sprout. If you are interested in this young lady then please come down to our Edenbridge centre to meet her.

Jake

Gender/Age: Male, 9 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.

Sprout

Gender/Age: Male 1-2 years
Breed: Labrador cross
Colour: Black
Location: Edenbridge

Sprout is a big, chunky boy with a huge personality to match. He’s full of energy and fun, still very much a puppy at heart, and loves to run around and play football. Sprout would benefit from continued socialisation with other dogs. Once introduced and settled, he mixes well and enjoys doggy company. He’s a lovable lad who will thrive in a home where he gets plenty of exercise, stimulation, and attention. Sprout can be strong on the lead when he becomes overexcited, particularly if he spots something interesting, but with consistent training and guidance he has great potential.Sprout is looking for an active home committed to helping him channel his enthusiasm and continue his training. With the right support, he will make a loyal, fun-loving, and rewarding companion. He is good with some dogs- in particular Maple who he is pictured with.

Mallow

Gender/Age: Male 6yrs
Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
Colour: White & black
Location: Edenbridge

Mallow has sadly come back into us due to him being very highly strung. Mallow can be very vocal with dogs and would need a lot of very slow socialising once he has settled in. Mallow can take a long time to settle into a new environment as he can be very anxious so he needs a very patient owner who has lots of time to help him with this. Mallow has LOTS of energy and needs a very active owner to help burn this off, however he is treat responsive and loves enrichment toys. He loves his toys especially bouncy balls and will play for hours with them! He must be the only pet in an adult only home. Mallow has so much love to give and be can be affectionate on his terms. He needs a patient owner who understands that he will need time in a new environment.

Victor

Gender/Age: Male age 3yrs
Breed: Labrador x
Colour: Black
Location: Edenbridge

Victor was found running loose on our fields late at night in the cold covered in mud and soaking wet. We are unsure of how he got there but it was likely that he was dumped. He is a lovely boy who can be a little nervous at times but he's been getting a lot better over the past few days. Victor is a very sweet and affectionate boy who loves a cuddle and to play with his toys. He enjoys playing ball for a while until he looses interest to more exciting things. He loves his food and will do anything for a treat.

Victor is ok with other dogs but can be a bit unsure at first so will need some gentle socialising, he will need a patient and understanding owner who has the time to help him with this. He loves his walks and walks nicely on the lead so will need an active owner who can take him on lots of adventures. He loves everyone he meets and likes to stop and say hello to everyone.

Due to us having no previous history on Victor he cannot be homed with young children. He would be better suited as the only dog in the home for now due to his nerves around other dogs. He cannot be homed with any cats or small furries. Victor has become a firm staff favourite since arriving with us and would make a great companion. Please come down to our Edenbridge centre if you are interested in this lovely boy.

Maple

Gender/Age: Female 3yrs
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.

Ralph

Gender/Age: Male 9yrs
Breed: Min Pin
Colour: Tan
Location: Edenbridge

Ralph has been with us for a little while now and he’s the kind of dog who needs time to get to know you. He can be unsure at first, but once he feels safe and trusts you, he’s a really friendly lad. When he’s settled, Ralph is full of energy and personality, with plenty of quirky little habits that make him very endearing. He can be stubborn and likes things his own way, and he doesn’t enjoy being pulled or handled when he’s not comfortable. In the past he has nipped as a way of saying “please give me space”. Ralph is looking for a calm, adult-only home with someone who understands dogs and is happy to go at his pace. He would be happiest as a one-to-one, but an experienced couple could be considered with the right introductions and plenty of patience.

Buddy

Gender/Age: Male 10 years
Breed: Bichon x JRT
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.

Buddy

Gender/Age: Male 8yrs
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 8yrs
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.

Pinky & Perky (aka The Pigs)!

Gender/Age: Females 9yrs
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 10yrs
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.

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 14years +
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
