Dogs needing a home

Chunks & Flo

Gender/Age: Male 3 years Female 6 years
Breed: French Bulldog
Colour: White and tan
Location: New Romney

Chunks and Flo have come to Last Chance by no fault of their own. They are a mum and son pair that have never been separated and are looking to be rehomed together. Chunks and Flo are a very sweet pair that are playful and get along well with children. They are good with dogs, but would prefer to have a home all to themselves.

Jeff

Gender/Age: Male 5months
Breed: Basset Hound
Colour: Tri Colour
Location: Edenbridge

Jeff sadly came into us as the daughter was allergic to him. He is a bundle of love and affection. He gives kisses to everyone he meets and just wants to make friends. He loves to play with toys and will greet you with one in his kennel to play. He is a typical basset hound and loves to sniff everything on his walks and can not walk in a straight line, he hasn't yet grown into his ears and is still very clumsy. He loves his food and treats and will need to be taught to slow down when eating. Jeff would love an active family home ideally with older children he can play with, with owners who can given him lots of love and stability. He must attend training classes.

Amber

Gender/Age: Female under 1 yr
Breed: Saluki x
Colour: Tan/fawn
Location: New Romney

? Could you be Amber's Forever Person? ? Amber is a young Saluki cross with a huge heart and an even bigger love for life. Currently fostered in Rainham, Kent, she is looking for a patient and dedicated family who can give her the stability and understanding she deserves. Still under a year old, Amber is energetic and playful and will need a large, secure garden where she can stretch her legs and enjoy playtime. She loves other dogs and would happily spend all day making new canine friends. Amber has faced more challenges than most dogs her age. Following hip surgery, she is recovering well and continues to make great progress with her rehabilitation. She can be nervous around unfamiliar people, children and places, and experiences separation anxiety, however she has already made fantastic progress, and with patience, kindness and consistency she continues to grow in confidence every day. Once you've earned her trust, Amber's affectionate nature shines through. She loves cuddles, enjoys relaxing on the sofa with her people, and is content to settle while someone works from home, as long as she receives regular attention and enrichment. Amber is looking for active adopters, preferably with experience of Salukis, who are home for much of the day and willing to continue her training, socialisation and rehabilitation journey. If you're ready to help a special young dog reach her full potential, Amber could be the perfect match. You'll need to be prepared to meet her a few times so you can get to know each other. In return, you'll gain a loyal, loving companion who simply needs the right person to help her flourish.

Coco Bongo

Gender/Age: Male 3yrs
Breed: Medium X breed
Colour: Brown and white
Location: Edenbridge

Coco Bongo has sadly come to us for rehoming as his owner is expecting a baby. He is looking for active adult only home with no loud visitors as he can find this overwhelming. He would benefit from a calm and understanding owner to help him over come this. Coco loves his cuddly toys and finds them a comfort when he is having a tough time, sadly after having being back and forth twice to Last Chance from the same home, he is finding the change and confusion very stressful and finding the adjustment very hard. When Coco is settled he is very loving and enjoys a cuddle. In the right home we believe he will thrive and be a very rewarding pet!

Shadow

Gender/Age: Female 9mths
Breed: cane Corso
Colour: Black
Location: New Romney

Shadow has come to us through no fault of her own! She’s just a big bouncy pup in need of a lot of stimulation and socialisation. It’s clear she’s unaware of her big size, but its even more clear to see the beautiful nature and love she has to offer. Shadow is keen to find her person, which she can grow with and build the trust she longs to have with someone. Potential to live with another young male dog as she has a lot of energy! Not cat tested.

Slinky

Gender/Age: Male 4yrs
Breed: Dachshund
Colour: Blue merle
Location: New Romney

Slinky has had a very hard start in life, he was not provided a safe home and has been very mistreated. This sadly, has created little Slinky to have some behavioural quirks. Slinky needs an adult only home and needs to be the only animal in the household. No cats or other dogs. It's clear to see Slinky just wants to find peace and be around people he trusts and to really let his guard down. If you have the time and love to provide Slinky with a life he deserves, please get in touch!

Ghost and Marnie

Gender/Age: Male and Female, 6 years
Breed: Frenchies
Colour: Cream and grey
Location: New Romney

Ghost and Marnie are a bonded pair who would love to find their forever home together. They are very affectionate and love playing and being around people. They have previously lived with children aged 10+ and could do so again but they have never lived with cats before. Ghost and Marnie are just a lovely pair who would make an amazing addition to any family.

Young Sally

Gender/Age: Female 11 months
Breed: Maltese x Poodle
Colour: White
Location: Edenbridge

Young Sally came into us with two other dogs from a neglect case. She was sadly very matted so has had to be shaved. Young Sally is a lovely, affectionate girl who has lots of energy so would love an active family home who can take her for long walks and play with her. She absolutely loves her toys and treats! Young Sally enjoys being around her people and sitting on your lap. She previously lived with children who she loved so she is looking for a young active family home with children. She has previously lived with dogs and cats so could do so again. She would truly make an amazing addition to the family and will never fail to put a smile on everyone’s faces.

Dennis & Alice

Gender/Age: Male 12 years & Female 9 years
Breed: Chow Chow
Colour: Black
Location: New Romney

This lovely senior pair have come to Last Chance due to no fault of their own. They have come to us in a bit of a state and have very bad skin which we're currently treating but unfortunately where we do not have a history for them, we cannot rehome them with children and they must be the only pets in the home. We would love for them to find a loving home together where they can finally have a loving and safe home.

Loki

Gender/Age: Male 3yrs
Breed: Saluki x
Colour: Tri Colour
Location: Edenbridge

Loki has come into us due to his owners no longer having the time for him and the other dog in the home not liking him . He was originally rescued from an abusive home so can be nervous of some strangers at first but is very friendly and happy to say hello. He is a lovely boy who loves to say hello to everyone he meets and thinks everyone is his friend. Loki is a young, active boy who will need an active family home. He loves his long walks and running around in the garden playing tug of war. Loki enjoys playing with rope toys and rubber balls however tennis balls don't last long with him! Loki can be an affectionate boy who enjoys a fuss and to play. He is ok with other dogs but can be nervous around some. Loki could potentially live with another calm dog but cannot be homed with cats. Loki may have separation anxiety so will need a home with someone who is around most of the day.

Chico

Gender/Age: Male, 8 years
Breed: Beagle x JRT
Colour: Tan and white
Location: New Romney

Chico has come to Last Chance after struggling to adapt to the kids in the home. He is a very nervous boy to start with but with a bit of time and patience, he is incredibly sweet. Chico is dog reactive and cannot live with other dogs or cats. He was originally from another rescue where the owners were advised that he is anxious around men, but he has successfully lived with men before and can do so again for the right owner. Chico will need an adult only home where he won't be introduced to children (as he finds them to be a bit overwhelming) where he can go on lots of walks.

Dancer

Gender/Age: Male 9yrs
Breed: Collie x
Colour: Black and Tan
Location: Edenbridge

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

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.

Molly

Gender/Age: Female 8 years
Breed: Labrador
Colour: Black
Location: New Romney

Molly has unfortunately found herself back at Last Chance. Originally, she came from the Welsh pound with no history and struggled to find a home due to her strength and dog reactivity. Molly is still a strong girl and still dislikes other dogs so will need a very strong owner who can handle her. She will need a quiet, adult only home (no kids or visiting children) with someone who lives in a quiet area where there isn't a lot of dogs around. If you're able to offer Molly the home she needs then please come to our New Romney branch to meet her.

Betty

Gender/Age: Female 10 years
Breed: Staffie
Colour: Tan
Location: New Romney

Betty came into Last Chance through no fault of her own. Unfortunately Betty has age related issues with her back legs which can cause her difficulty at times. She needs a nice, quiet adult only home where she is the only pet in the property. She is unable to use stairs and will need a decent garden to run around in. Betty is obsessed with footballs and so it's a requirement (from Betty herself) that there must be plenty of footballs for her to tear apart.

Cleo

Gender/Age: Female 10 years old
Breed: Husky
Colour: Choc & cream
Location: Edenbridge

Cleo was sadly returned to us due to her owners no longer having the time to care for her. She is a lovely girl who enjoys a fuss though it must be on her terms. She is your typical husky who loves to be outside no matter what weather.

Cleo is a very active girl who loves her long walks so she'll need an active owner. She walks very nicely on the lead, though she is very reactive to other dogs and can redirect if a dog gets too close so she will need to be muzzled when going out. She is very good about wearing a muzzle and is muzzle trained. Cleo isn't the biggest fan of being brushed so will also need to be muzzled for this.

Cleo absolutely loves to lounge around on the sofa with all four feet in the air and snore as loud as possible. She is obsessed with her toys and gets so excited when receiving a new one she will get the zoomies! Cleo can be a very affectionate girl at times and enjoy a gentle cuddle but this must all be on her terms so she will need a patient and understanding owner who can give her the time and space she needs. She enjoys quiet relaxing evenings with her people chilling on the sofa, resting her head on your lap whilst watching tv.

Cleo does resource guard so will need an experienced owner who has the knowledge and time needed to help deal with her difficulties. She will need someone who understands that whilst she can be affectionate at times, she does also need a space of her own to go when she wants to be alone. She must be the only pet in an adult only home with no visiting children. If you are interested in this lovely girl, then please come down to our Edenbridge centre.

Cobi

Gender/Age: male, 13 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.

Jack

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

Jack is an ex racer who is enjoying his retirement here at Last Chance. He is an excitable boy who has lots of energy to burn off. He loves his walks and doing zoomies in our enclosed paddocks. Jack is always keen to go out for walks and can pull on the lead at times though after a few minutes he settles down and walks very nicely. Since coming to us Jack has found his love for toys, though some don’t last as song as others. He is often found carrying one around his kennel or one he has found on a walk. He has also found his love for affection. Jack is such a cuddly, affectionate boy who would love to cuddle up to his people on the bed or sofa. Jack loves everyone he meets and loves to make new friends. He is good with dogs of his size and could live with another dog of similar size. Due to being an ex racer Jack does have a high prey drive so cannot be homed with cats or small furries.

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.

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 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.

Bill

Gender/Age: Male 6yrs
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

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
