. Annie - eight year old Terrier
Annie is a sweet girl who loves spending time with people and having a game with her toys. She is looking for a home with her own private garden to run around in and will need to be walked in quieter areas, as she is uncomfortable around other dogs and reacts when she sees them. Initially Annie can be shy around strangers but grows in confidence quickly, she prefers calm interactions and enjoys sitting on a lap when she's made a new friend. Able to share her new home with older secondary school children, Annie will need to be the only animal in her home. Annie will make a lovely companion for adopters with a quiet calm home where she can relax and indulge in all her favourite things, food, toys and spending time with people. Photo: Dogs Trust
. Sky - one year old French Bulldog
Sky's foster carers have described her as a 'loving little lady with a shy nature'. She can be particularly worried by loud noises, sudden movements, and being ‘over-handled’. Because of this, Dogs Trust feels she would best be suited to a home where the youngest members of her family are in their older teens. Sky is also unsure around other dogs and shows her anxiety through reacting vocally. She will need to be the only pet at home and must go for her walks in quieter areas, where she can avoid bumping into them. A garden of her own is essential, so that she can enjoy regular outdoor relaxation time. Once Sky has found her feet at home she will love zooming about and playing with her toys and would appreciate a big toy box to choose from! Photo: Dogs Trust
. Reggy - one year old crossbreed
Reggy is a fun-loving, excitable boy with bundles of energy. Friendly to all who he meets, his excitement may get the better of him and he can forget his manners at times.He would best be suited to an active family with older, dog-savvy teens who are confident around larger breeds. Reggy loves his walks but can be strong when he wants to be and will need to stay on his lead due to his lack in confidence around other dogs. His adopters will need to be able to manage his size and strength and choose quieter walking areas while they support him with his doggie social skills. He must be the only pet at home and a secure garden of his own is essential, so that he can regularly enjoy and off-lead burn. Reggy has been described as a big softie at heart and loves nothing more than spending quality time with his favourite people. He’s always keen to play with his toys, loves to tuck into a long-lasting chew, and looks forward to his daily training sessions. His perfect match would be a family who have plenty of time to dedicate to his ongoing training, as well as the time to keep him company at home, as he prefers to be with someone than to be left alone.

. Bruno - two year old Labrador
Bruno is a playful Labrador with a sweet, yet sensitive character. Easily overwhelmed when there’s lots going on around him, Bruno would best be suited to a slower-paced lifestyle, where he can relish a relaxing home environment. While it may take a little while to earn Bruno’s trust, the best way to bond with this playful pooch is over a game of fetch with a tennis ball… his absolute favourite activity! Bruno would best be suited to a home with sensible, older teens and cannot live with other animals. When it comes to meeting other dogs, Bruno doesn’t seem to have many social skills under his belt and tends to feel apprehensive around dogs of a more boisterous nature. He’d benefit from continued socialisation with calmer canines to help build up his confidence. Photo: Dogs Trust Shoreham
. Zara - three year old Borzoi
Dogs Trust Shoreham said if Zara were a human, she’d be a princess! The beautiful Borzoi is 'a gentle, elegant lady' who turns heads wherever she goes. However, Zara isn’t always fond of such attention, as she likes to get to know people at her own pace. Due to her sensitive nature, she would best be suited to a quieter home environment, where the youngest family members are of secondary-school age. She is fearful of dogs, so will need to be walked in less-frequented areas at quieter times of the day, or be taken to hired, enclosed fields and cannot live with any resident dogs. While Zara must be the only pet in the household, she is happy to live nearby horses or livestock. She much prefers having company than spending time alone, so will need adopters who are always around at home to keep her company, and especially in the initial stages while she is settling into her new routine. A garden of her own is essential. Photo: Dogs Trust Shoreham
. Bobby - six-year-old Collie cross
Bobby is a loveable boy who holds a big place in his heart for his favourite people. However, he can be worried by strangers, so getting to know him will take some patience and several visits to the Shoreham rehoming centre. His perfect home would be somewhere relaxing, situated in a quieter location, away from the hustle and bustle, any busy roads, and where he can access quieter walking routes by foot. Bobby is easily overwhelmed in the presence of other canines, so needs less-frequented walks, where he has the space to avoid other dogs. He will need to be the only pet, living in an adult-only household without any visiting children. A garden of his own is essential so that he can enjoy an off-lead runabout, as is an area of his own, ideally his own room for when he is eating or resting. He may need to visit his new home a few times before he packs his bags for good, and because of this, his new home must be situated within an hour's drive to the rehoming centre - BN43 5LT.

. Toby - 17 month old Beagle
Toby is a beautiful and lively, 17-month-old Beagle, with a friendly character and all the traits of a cheeky traits of a typical young Beagle. He would love to find a home with active adopters, who can provide him with an enriching lifestyle, full of fun and adventure. Toby can live with sensible secondary-school aged children who are confident around lively pooches. As a result of his high prey-drive, he is unsuitable to live with any cats, birds, house rabbits, or guinea pigs. However, he is a sociable boy with others canines and could potentially share his home with a well-suited dog of a similarly playful nature to his own. It is essential that he has his own secure garden to bound around in and burn off some steam. Toby finds it very challenging when left alone, so will need a multi-carer household, where there is always at least one member of the family at home to keep him company. Photo: Dogs Trust Shoreham
1. Archie - seven-year-old Jack Russell Terrier cross
Archie is a playful Terrier cross with a charmingly cheeky character. Toys are one of his absolute favourite things of all and he loves to bound around with a toy in tow or play with his humans when engaging in a game of tug. He needs adopters who can offer him plenty of their time and who are willing to keep up with his training plans, including teaching him to comfortably wear a muzzle. He tends to lunge and bark when close to other dogs, but is happy if they are walking in the distance - so he has potential to build up his tolerance with training. Archie must be the only pet at home but can share his home with older secondary-school aged children. A secure garden of his own is a must so that he can have a good off-lead run about from time to time. Photo: Dogs Trust
2. Tyke - six-year-old German Shepherd cross
Tyke is a big softie at heart, Dogs Trust says. He's keen to find an understanding family who could offer him their patience and gradually build his confidence, while introducing him to new experiences at his own pace. Much more a fan of the peaceful side of life, Tyke will appreciate being taken to quiet walking locations, where he can investigate a regular route. Hewould love to live a quieter lifestyle in a relaxing home, where the youngest members of his family are in their later teens. While Tyke needs to be the only dog at home, he’ll benefit from ongoing training to build up his social skills with other dogs. He cannot live with any cats, house rabbits, or guinea pigs, and will require a garden of his own. Photo: Dogs Trust
3. Bailey - nine-year-old Chow Chow
Dogs Trust says Bailey is a wonderful lady who loves life’s simple luxuries. Spending quality time with her favourite people, going on a walk with her doggie-pals, snoozing on her bed, and a tasty dinner to look forward to in the evening are all things that will keep her feeling happy. She can be overwhelmed when in new situations, meeting new people, or when visiting the vets, so is hoping to find a patient and understanding family who can support her and help her build her confidence. She is unable to live with any cats, house rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and other small furry pets. Bailey requires a garden. Photo: Dogs Trust
4. Cassie - one year old Siberian Husky
Dogs Trust said Cassie turns heads wherever she goes; not only because of her striking looks, but because she has the fun-loving and excitable character to match! Full of spritely energy, she is seeking equally active adopters who can keep her busy with lots of enrichment activities, long walks in the countryside, and teaching her fun new skills. Having entered the charity's care as a stray, it appears that Cassie still has much to learn about the big wide world and will hugely benefit from additional training support. This includes building up some confidence, learning some appropriate manners, or alternative outlets when over-stimulated, as she tends to jump up or ‘puppy mouth’ when excited or frustrated. Because of this, she would best be suited to a home where the youngest family members are aged at least 16. While Cassie will need to be the only pet at home, she could possibly have walking buddies with other dogs of a similar size and playful character to her own. Building up her social skills with a variety of dogs will also be a great benefit to her. A big puppy when playing with her toys, Cassie loves to bound around and burn off some steam, so a garden of her own is essential. Cassie finds it challenging when left alone and requires a multi-carer household, so that there is always someone around to keep her company. Photo: Dogs Trust
