. Boo - seven month old Labrador
Boo is a sensitive yet playful pup. He can be shy when meeting new people and is particularly apprehensive around young children, therefore would be happiest in a home where the youngest members of his family are of teen-age or older. Boo’s perfect match would be with patient adopters who could support him with his confidence, while gradually building up positive associations to new places and experiences. He loves to play with other dogs but has yet to realise that not all canines feel the same. He could live with another well-suited dog who would be tolerant of his adolescent energy-levels, but is unable to live with any cats or other small furry pets. He also loves to play with his toys— especially a squeaky ball and is starting to enjoy a gentle fuss from his favourite carers at Dogs Trust! Photo: Dogs Trust
. Malaki - one year old German Spitz
Malaki is a cheeky little chap with plenty of love to give. Due to his age, he is still learning about the world and is keen to find a family who can teach him lots of new skills, as well as fun tricks. He is super smart and thrives when using his brain, so he has great potential for being a brilliant student! Dogs Trust said Malaki would best be suited to a home with secondary-school aged children, who could be sensible around him and understanding of his body-language. Malaki can be a ‘chatty’ chap and likes to use his voice when excited, and especially if he wants to let other dogs know that he’s nearby! Malaki could have walking buddies with other dogs of an easy-going nature but will need to be the only dog at home. He is also unable to live with any cats, house rabbits, or guinea pigs. A garden of his own is essential. Photo: Dogs Trust
. Codie - five year old Collie cross
Codie arrived at Dogs Trust's Shoreham centre from a hoarding situation. Due to his very sheltered life and shy nature, he is looking for adopters who are happy to adopt him knowing he will not be confident and able to do 'typical doggy activities' in the early days. Despite this, his cheeky and playful nature is starting to show. Toys are his favourite and they have been essential in building Codie's confidence around people - squeaky toys, balls and teddies are the most fun. Codie is currently unfamiliar and nervous of lead walking so a large secure garden is essential. He will need to live with another dog with a calm nature and who will be a good role model to help Codie build in confidence. It is essential that his new home is a quiet environment as he is not used to home life. Codie is able to share his new home with children over 14 but is unable to live with cats or other small animals.Cody will take time to adjust to his new home and patience and understanding are essential qualities for his new family, helping him build his confidence will be a very rewarding experience for the right adopters.

. Woody - eight+ year old Poodle cross
Woody adores the company of his favourite friends but will never be a cuddly 'lap dog' and prefers to interact with his humans by doing fun activities together. He will need a multi-carer home in order to keep up his training and grooming, and he would like access to his own area where he can have his meals and enjoy his favourite things as he does struggle to share. Woody needs to be the only dog in an adult-only home, and requires a garden. His new home must be within two hours of the Shoreham rehoming centre so he can have a few trips to his new home before packing his bags for good. Photo: Dogs Trust
. Dolly - five year old Collie cross
Dogs Trust said Dolly is a very sweet shy girl who is just starting to show the team her adorable character. She arrived at the centre after leaving a hoarding situation and, due to her very sheltered life and nervous temperament, she is looking for adopters who are happy to adopt her knowing she will not be confident and able to do typical doggy activities in the early days. Dolly is unfamiliar with lead walking so a large secure garden is essential. She will need to live with another dog who has a calm nature that will be a good role model and will provide company for her. Dolly is able to share her new home with children over 16 but is unable to live with cats or other small animals. Her favourite thing is food and she loves food based enrichment, which has helped Dolly to form a bond with her favourite people. Dolly will be a perfect match for someone who has a quiet home environment and is happy to allow her to explore and settle in her own time. Photo: Dogs Trust
. Zara - four 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
. Basil - seven year old Crossbreed
Basil is full of character and playful energy. He'll make for a fabulous companion to a family who can fill his life with fun and adventure, while keeping him entertained with all his favourite activities. Basil will especially enjoy agility training, food-based enrichment puzzles, long walks in varied places, and learning new tricks. He is looking for an active family, who live in a quieter location, away from built-up or busy areas. He can share his home with older, secondary-school age children and will need to be the only pet. However, he has been doing great with building up confidence recently and may be able to have walking buddies with other dogs of a calm and friendly nature. A garden of his own to let off some steam and enjoy an off-lead run about is essential. Basil adores the company of his favourite friends but can be a little apprehensive when first getting to know someone. His potential adopters will need to visit the Shoreham centre several times to build a bond with him and he may need to visit his new home on occasion too. Photo: Dogs Trust
. May - three year old Siberian Husky
May has been described as a 'happy-go-lucky lady with a friendly nature'. She’s a young dog with a lot of energy and a real zest for life, so is seeking an active home with adopters who can keep her busy with a life full of adventure. Not only will she love to explore, but super-smart May will enjoy engaging in fun, reward-based training. She already knows a few of her basic commands but has tonnes of potential to learn more tricks, as well as working on some life-skills. For example, May can become frustrated when seeing other dogs out and about but seems to calm down if walking at a distance, and with her handler doing some ‘focus work’ with her. It would be hugely beneficial to continue gradually building up her social skills with other canines once she’s settled in at home. May will need to be the only pet at home and requires a garden of her own, so that she can bound around to her hearts content! She can live with secondary-school aged children, who could be sensible around her, while also confident around big and bouncy dogs. Dogs Trust added: "May is a lovely dog who is a joy to be around."

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
