Dogs needing a home

Teddy

Gender/Age: Male 3 years
Breed: Springer Spaniel
Colour: Liver & White
Location: New Romney

Teddy has arrived at Last Chance by no fault of his own. Teddy is a very sweet, gentle and loving boy that loves to play with every toy he can find! He will need an active home that will be able to give him the exercise he needs. Teddy gets on with other dogs and could possibly go to a home with older teens. If you think you can offer Teddy the home he deserves please pop in to our New Romney centre.

Hector

Gender/Age: Male 8 years
Breed: Yorkie x
Colour: Brown and Tan
Location: New Romney

Hector is new to Last Chance and is a very nervous but sweet boy who needs an adult only home. He cannot live with children and cannot live with other dogs as he can get possessive over his toys. He just needs time to settle into a nice, quiet home with an owner who understands him and can meet his needs.

Minnie

Gender/Age: Female 8 years
Breed: Bichon x Cavalier
Colour: White
Location: New Romney

Minnie has arrived at Last Chance by no fault of her own. She is a sweet girl that is understandably a little nervous being in kennels. Minnie is good with dogs out and about but has never lived with another dog before. She could possibly live with older children that are calm and sensible. If you think you can offer Minnie the home she deserves please pop in to our New Romney centre.

Hondo

Gender/Age: Male 1 1/2 years
Breed: German Shepherd x
Colour: Tan
Location: New Romney

Hondo has been brought to Last Chance after being surrendered to the vets. He is a big bundle of nerves who needs an adult only home (no kids or regularly visiting kids) where he can be the only pet in the property. He will need direct access to a garden with a 6ft secure fence. Hondo is a very lovely boy who just doesn't understand why he's ended up here and we would love to find him his forever home.

Gizzy & Lucky

Gender/Age: Males 3yrs & 5 yrs
Breed: Chihuahuas
Colour: Chocolate brown and sandy
Location: Edenbridge

Gizzy & Lucky came in to us with Bailey as his owners declining health meant they were not getting the exercise they needed. Lucky was rejected by his mother so was hand fed from 5 weeks so can be a big baby when he knows you. Gizzy is very nervous by nature and needs a very calm and quiet owner to help bring him out his shell. Both of the are typical chihuahuas and need to warm up to new people, but once they do they are very affectionate lap dogs. Gizzy relies on Lucky for confidence so they must stay together. They both love to play with each other and also love squeaky toys. They have never had a garden so will both need help with toilet training.

Poppet, Bridgette and Waffle

Gender/Age: Females 11years , 9 years, 5 years
Breed: Pugs
Colour: Black & Apricot
Location: Edenbridge

These 3 lovely girls sadly got brought into us as their owner passed away. They are all very close and would love a home all together. All 3 girls walk well on the lead and love going out for an explore. They are looking for a nice, quiet home as that's all they've ever known. Good with dogs.

Tallulah

Gender/Age: Female 2yrs
Breed: Greyhound
Colour: Black
Location: Edenbridge

Tallulah came to us as a retired greyhound. She would turn around in the traps and try and run backwards. She is very nervous of the big wide world and needs a calm and very loving home to help her feel more safe and cared for. She can be a little more nervous of men so would need an understanding owner. Tallulah has started to greet us with a little waggy tail and is trying her hardest to be brave enough to make friends. No cats or small animals.

Amber

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

Amber is a sweet lurcher with a huge heart and an even bigger love for life. Currently being fostered in Rainham, Kent, she is searching for a loving family who can offer her the stability and understanding she deserves. At less than a year old, Amber enjoys making the most of every day. She will need a secure garden where she can safely stretch her legs and play. Amber absolutely adores other dogs and would happily spend her days making new canine friends. She is particularly fond of chasing a ball and has an impressive turn of speed that could rival many Flyball dogs. She also enjoys regular swimming sessions and trips out in the car. Amber is recovering well from hip surgery and continues to make excellent progress with her rehabilitation. While she can be a little nervous when meeting new people, her affectionate personality quickly shines through. She loves cuddles on the sofa with her favourite people, and will settle happily while someone works from home, with just the occasional bit of fuss and attention. With patience and consistency Amber continues to build her confidence and overcome her anxieties. She is a bright, loving young dog with bags of potential. Amber is looking for active adopters who are home for much of the day and can continue her training and rehabilitation. A home with other friendly dogs would be a bonus, as she thrives on canine companionship. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will reward your love and dedication with endless devotion, Amber could be the perfect match for you.

Bruno

Gender/Age: Male 4 years
Breed: Jack Russell x Staffie
Colour: White and tan
Location: New Romney

Bruno is a young, lively boy who is looking for a quiet, adult only home with not a lot of visitors. Bruno has a tendency to become protective of his space and isn't always the biggest fan of new people coming into his home. However, once he feels safe and he trusts you he is a lovely boy. Bruno is selective about which dogs he likes so he will be best off being the only animal in the property.

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.

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.

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.

Dave

Gender/Age: Male 10 years
Breed: Staffie
Colour: Blue
Location: New Romney

Dave is a very gentle senior man who is looking for a nice, quiet forever home to spend his senior years. Dave has age related issues with his back legs which makes it difficult for him to stand up at times, he hasn't let this stop him though and he loves going for short walks or pottering around with someone. Dave would like to be the only pet in the property and due to his age, he would not be great in a home with young children. Dave cannot use stairs and will need a flat garden that he has direct access to.

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
