. Weeble - three year old Border Collie cross Lurcher
Weeble is a sweet-natured dog who sadly found herself in council pound kennels and has not been claimed by her original owner. She is now looking for a loving home of her own and may benefit from the company of another dog or two - though this is not essential. She is fully housetrained and has been described by Arundawn as ‘stunningly gorgeous’. Picture: Arundawn Photo: Arundawn
. Aurora - two year old Bullmastiff
Aurora (left) has been described by Arundawn as 'simply beautiful inside and out'. She was given away to new owners who then discovered she was pregnant and were unable to care fr her. At two years old, Arundawn said she is 'still only a baby herself' despite having had at least two litters already. She has lived with other dogs and is good with all as long as they are respectful. He is looking for a large breed/mastiff experienced home with plenty of space. She is also great around children, Arundawn said, as well as dogs and horses. Photo: Arundawn
. Shamus - 18-month-old Lurcher
Shamus was sadly 'dumped', Arundawn said, and has recently found a foster home to spend time in until he finds a loving family. He is believed to be around 18-months-old and is a gentle and quiet boy. He is timid but is happy in the company of another dog. More information will be available as he is assessed further.

. Lulu - senior
Lulu, aged ten to 13, is looking for a very special home due to being both deaf and blind. At the beginning of her time in foster, Arundawn was 'not optimistic' on her quality of life. However, now she has settled she has quickly become a happy and content little girl. With the help of other dogs, she has learned to navigate her way around the house and will even ask to go out to the toilet. She is very friendly, brilliant with other calm dogs and just loves having a cuddle! She thrives on routine and must live with at least on other calm dog. She cannot live with small children. Arundawn said: "She may be old, deaf and blind but she deserves to live her days out with love!" Photo: Arundawn
. Briar - nine month old Shepherd
Briar was sadly abandoned and is desperately looking for a foster or forever home. He is getting bored in kennels and is overstimulated by other dogs, so he must be an only pet so he can get the attention and love he needs. He is a strong and bouncy dog who has been taught little, Arundawn said. He hasn't been tested around children and can't live with cats or small animals. Photo: Arundawn
. Gypsy - eight years old
Gypsy is a Patterdale Terrier cross who, unfortunately, lived a 'pretty hideous life' previously, having lived with two other dogs in a shed. She has held on to many fears, including a fear of sticks, and needs a rural home without any other pets. Arundawn said she is the 'most adorable, gentle and affectionate little dog who desperately needs to find a home that fits all her needs'. She likes to be outside if it is sunny but does feel the cold, and does not usually like to be out of bed before 8am! She is a sensitive dog who loves walks and so deserves to find a loving home.

. Caoimhe - one year old Saluki
Arundawn said Caoimhe has come on in leaps and bounds recently. She has gained weight, her coat condition has improved massively and she is learning to trust more - now she just needs to find her forever home. In her home, she requires space to freely exercise as, despite her missing leg, she 'runs like the wind'. She also would like to live with at least one other dog who is happy to play and run. She may be able to live with cats as she has previously ignored them during introductions. Overall, Caoimhe is a happy and affectionate dog. Photo: Arundawn
. Rubble - two year old Lurcher
Rubble is a big boy but has proven to be a very steady and endearing character, Arundawn has said. He can live with children, cats and dogs and is also good around horses. He is calm around people and can be a bit inquisitive. Arundawn said his only 'fault' is that he needs someone around most of the time as he gets distressed when left on his own for too long. He must be rehomed with at least one other dog as he gets a lot of confidence and reassurance from having a friend. Photo: Arundawn
1. Simba - 11-month-old Dachshund
Simba is a lovely young boy who is currently in foster for assessment with his friend Hope. They do not need to be rehomed together, Arundawn has said. Simba is used to living with other dogs and children over eight years old. Photo: Arundawn
2. Hope - 18-month-old Dachshund
Hope is a young girl who came into rescue with her friend Simba and is currently in foster. The pair do not need to be rehomed together, Arundawn has said. She is used to living with other dogs and children over eight years old. Photo: Arundawn
3. Onyx - seven-month-old Greyhound
Onyx needs a home with at least one other dog in a rural environment. Arundawn said she is currently settling in at the sanctuary and is 'learning the ropes of how to be a good dog'. Onyx is scared of new people - especially men - but this is improving each day, the rescue said. Photo: Arundawn
4. Jenny - three-year-old Whippet
Jenny is a sweet girl looking for a home in the countryside with at least one other friendly dog. She arrived at Arundawn heavily pregnant and has been busy over the last 12 weeks looking after her pups - who are now also looking for their forever homes. Jenny previously had a very sheltered life so she is a bit nervous of new situations. However, Arundawn says she is a very friendly, gregarious girl when meeting new people. She is anxious around small children and has not been tested with cats. Photo: Arundawn
