Bella has been described as a 'real sweetie' who would love to find a new home in a multi-person household as she is very worried about being alone. A quiet, peaceful environment, without other dogs, would be ideal for Bella. She has shared her previous home with cats and could live with them again following a gradual introduction. At her grand age Bella is suited to a family with children over the age of 14 years, she has a sweet temperament and enjoys having a gentle fuss. Bella prefers the company of people and will require walking areas where she is able to keep her distance from other dogs. Photo: Dogs Trust
. Bisley - ten-year-old Lurcher
Bisley has stolen the hearts of his carers at the Shoreham centre. This sweet gentleman is hoping to find a relaxing retirement home, where he can settle in at his own pace, fully enjoying all the luxuries of his senior years. Bisley would best be suited to a home where his youngest family members are in their later teens and could live with another well-suited dog. He cannot live with cats or any other small animals. Due to his fondness for affection, Bisley does find it difficult when left alone and would prefer a home where his family are around most of the time to keep him company. Photo: Dogs Trust
. Charlotte - one-year-old Jack Russell Terrier cross
Charlotte is a very sweet girl who can be a little unsure in new environments - once settled, she enjoys a cuddle and a game with her toys. Being a young girl, Charlotte is best suited to active adopters who will enjoy continuing her basic training. She can get excited and jump up when greeting new people, and is still working on her loose lead walking skills. Her ideal home will have a garden and adopters who are able to build up her leaving times gradually. Charlotte will need to be the only animal in the home and can live with children over 14 years old. Photo: Dogs Trust
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
