Could one of the adorable pups be the one for you?
17. Sammy - 11 year old Jack Russell cross Shih-Tzu
Sammy is a friendly girl who can be a little shy at first, especially with men. Once she knows you she enjoys company and a fuss. Sammy enjoys her walks and would like a garden to potter in. Sammy’s previous owners said she barks at other dogs and new people. She has walked with other dogs since she has been at the RSPCA and tends to ignore them. She would prefer to be the only dog in the home though. Sammy is looking for a quiet, adult only home. She has been used to visiting children but not lived with them. Photo: RSPCA
18. Sky - two year old Belgian Malinois
Sky was a little worried on arrival but has blossomed into a very friendly, loving girl. She knows 'sit', 'down' and her name and wants to make friends with everyone she meets. Sky tries to be clean in her kennel so should be housetrained in her new home. She loves her food but her favourite thing is playing fetch with a ball! Sky was involved in a road traffic accident when she was younger and because of this she has three legs. This does not stop her and she runs just as fast as a four legged dog! Sky is not really interested in other dogs but will happily walk near them without being bothered. She would probably prefer to be the only dog in her new home so she can have all the attention and she will bond very quickly to her new owner. She needs a home without cats or small animals. Sky is looking for an experienced owner with someone prepared to put lots of time into her training as she is a breed that will get bored easily. She will need lots of mental stimulation and enrichment and a fairly active home. She could live with teenage children who are used to big dogs. Photo: RSPCA
19. Ness - two year old Staffie
Nessy is a very energetic girl who is looking for a family to share her adventures with. She arrived at the RSPCA very nervous of new people and was extremely touch sensitive which caused difficulty for vet handling. She has since formed strong bonds with her handlers and, through lots of positive training, she has learnt to be more accepting of touch and handling. She will need owners who are experienced with positive reinforcement based training who can continue building her confidence. Ness has been described by the RSPCA as 'a very sweet girl' who, once bonded with you, loves to be in your company. The charity added: "She has won over the hearts of all at Mount Noddy as she is such a joy to train. Ness thinks toys are the best thing in the world and becomes over enthusiastic when shes sees them. Due to this, she will need to be the only dog in the home so she doesn’t have to share. Ness has some allergies so will need a special diet and ongoing medical treatment for this. Photo: RSPCA
20. Dwayne - nine month old Bull Breed cross
Dwayne is a friendly, bouncy boy who loves people and wants to say hello to everyone he meets! Dwayne has grown up in kennels so can be quite worried out and about in the big wide world. He is already improving and learning how to walk nicely on the lead and become less concerned about his surroundings. Dwayne is not housetrained and will need his own garden to help with this. He is friendly and sociable with other dogs but can be a bit exuberant with them initially. He soon calms down and enjoys their company on walks. He could live a larger female dog in his new home who can cope with his energy levels. Dwayne is looking for an experienced home with someone who has the time to put into his training. Photo: RSPCA
