. Poppy - 15 week old Cavapoo
Poppy arrived at the RSPCA as she was too lively and playful for the older dog in her previous home. She is a very sweet, friendly pup who has a lot of energy. Poppy knows sit, walks well on a harness and has already started to learn to be clean in the house. She will need some further training and needs to continue socialising in different places with other people and animals so she grows up into a confident , happy dog. Poppy has been very good with other dogs at the shelter and does like to play with them so any existing dog in her new home will need to be of a similar energy level. Poppy will make a great edition to a family with the time to put into her training and socialising. She will need her own garden and a home where she will not be left for too long on her own. She could live with older children. Photo: RSPCA
. Cally - six month old Poodle
Cally was sadly kept in poor conditions before arriving at the RSPCA and has missed out on the usual experiences a young dog would encounter. As a result, she is anxious, will bark at people and other dogs when she is outside of the home and will need ongoing support using reward-based techniques to gradually and carefully introduce her to the normal aspects of the outside world. When there are no people and dogs around Cally enjoys quiet rural walks and is playful. She likes playing with toys and chews, enjoys spending time in the garden, is a good passenger in the car, and is happy to spend time resting in a crate during the day. Cally cannot live with children under 16 years old. She will benefit from living with more than one adult to help her build a friendship with more than one carer. Cally is also likely to benefit from living with another gentle friendly dog who can be a friend and role model to her. Photo: RSPCA
. Maddie - one year old Lurcher
Maddie is a sweet girl who can be quite shy and submissive when she first meets you. Once she trusts you she is a happy, bouncy, friendly girl. Maddie will need training, including housetraining and an owner who will help her build confidence. She loves her food and enrichment feeders and is starting to learn about toys. Maddie is sociable and friendly with other dogs and does like to play with them once she has made friends. She would be best in a home without cats or small animals. Maddie is a new arrival who is still being assessed. Photo: RSPCA
. Nemo - four year old Poodle cross
Nemo, a cheeky and friendly chap, was removed from a puppy farm situation along with several other dogs. He loves walks, fuss and attention, and is looking for an active adult-only home. He would prefer a home without cats or small animals, and could live with a resident female dog in his new home, but not a male. Photo: RSPCA
. TED - six year old Pomeranian/Spitz
When Ted arrived he was a very shy boy and took a few days to settle with the team at the RSPCA. He is now much happier and loves fuss and attention. He can still be a little worried by new people, especially men, but does really well after a nice introduction. Ted is housetrained and will sit when asked. He enjoys his walks and is good on the lead. Ted has been very good with other dogs and enjoys their company on walks. He has lived with a cat in his previous home so may be OK with a dog savvy cat. Ted is looking for an experienced owner who is used to dogs who are a little worried by new experiences. He could live with older children who have lived with dogs before and know how to behave around them when they are shy. Ted will need regular grooming to keep his coat in good condition and may require trips to a dog groomer. Photo: RSPCA
. Marlin - 18 month old Miniature Poodle cross
Marlin is a friendly, lively, sometimes over-excitable boy who enjoys fuss and attention. He loves to play with toys and is learning to play fetch nicely with a ball. He will need some training, especially around walking calmly and quietly on a lead and may not be fully house-trained initially but should learn quickly. Marlin is sociable with other dogs and could live with a resident female dog in his new home but would not want to live with another male. He would prefer a home without cats or small animals. Marlin is looking for a very active home and could possibly live with older children who are used to bouncy dogs. He is a new arrival who is still being assessed. Photo: RSPCA
. Milo - two year old Terrier cross
When Milo arrived at the shelter he was extremely nervous and took a while to start trusting everyone. Now, with some extra TLC, he has become a very happy, cheeky boy! Milo loves his walks and enjoys a good explore and snuffle in the grass. He has started to play with toys particularly soft squeaky ones. Milo LOVES other dogs and will squeal with excitement when he sees his buddies! He would ideally like to live with another dog or have plenty of dogs in the family to socialise with. He loves his food and treats which really helps people gain his trust. Milo will need some basic training and will take time to settle into a new home. He would be best living in a quiet suburban or rural area and will need an adult only home. Milo will require any potential adopters to visit him several times at the shelter before taking him home, so he can create a bond and feel secure with his new family. Photo: RSPCA
. Melody - three year old Beagle
Melody is a very sweet girl who enjoys fuss and attention and loves rolling around on the grass for a belly rub. She enjoys her walks and is a typical beagle with her nose to the ground unless you stop and sit still for a cuddle! Melody will need some basic training, including house training. She loves her treats so this will be a good way to teach her. Melody is sociable with other dogs but can sometimes be a little shy until she knows them. She will be looking for an active owner who has experience with similar breeds. Melody is a new arrival who is still being assessed. Photo: RSPCA
