Arci

Archie the Labrador (Image: Dogs Trust) This 10-year-old Labrador is described as a “wonderful old kid” who is “still full of fun” and “gets along well with other dogs”. The Dogs Trust said: “Archie greets everyone in a very polite but enthusiastic way, his tail goes ten to a dozen, whether he is a stranger or someone he knows. “Archie enjoys his walks and does everything he can to help you get out the door by politely passing his head through his leash. When he comes out, he greets all the people and dogs in the same way, friendly and calm down, and will make a wonderful best friend. Due to his age and stiff legs, Archie can handle 25-minute walks and needs help getting into cars he is used to traveling with. The fully trained dog will signal when he wants to go out and can be left alone for two hours. The Dogs Trust said it valued a “quieter environment” and would be “more suitable for living with high school children than with younger ones”. Archie has some skin problems that require medication and recently started a series of injections to help, but these are costly.

Axil

Axil the German Shepherd (Image: Dogs Trust) Axil is a “wonderful” young German shepherd, also known as the Alsatian, whose “favorite way to forget his worries” is to chase toys. He is able to relax when he is away from the kennel environment, which he “really does not enjoy”. His anxiety “means that he is not really able to focus well on his interactions with other dogs”, so he will need constant training. The Dogs Trust said Axil needed a homeless child and his own garden, and “would love to find an experienced family who can teach him about life and take him on adventures”. Prospective adopters must visit the center several times to establish a bond before taking it home permanently. He will also need a few repeat visits to the Dogs Trust vet after adoption and cannot live in an apartment due to foot problems.

Barney

Barney the crossbreed (Image: Dogs Trust) A lively five-year-old who “bursts with energy and rushes to go”, Barney is “incredibly smart and loves education”, so the Dogs Trust hopes to find a family “willing to work with him and give him time to settle in without to push him “. The charity said: “When he is not out, Barney is happy to relax on the back of his couch in a cat-like way. He is also a star of agility, and often jumps on equipment and shows off his skills. “When Burney is in the mood, he can be really happy and he likes to be around you, just to see the world go by.” Barney needs a quiet, child-free environment with few visitors and its own garden. Although he will walk with dogs with whom he had a proper introduction, he should be the only dog ​​in the house. His current training program should be continued in any new home and potential adopters should meet with him several times before taking him home. Full support will be provided by the Dogs Trust training and behavior team at all stages of Barney’s adoption.

Bella

Bella the Jack Russell terrier (Image: Dogs Trust) Nearly two years old, Bella can have a lot of conflict over what she wants and has to be adopted by someone who will take the time to understand her and read her signs when she feels uncomfortable. Jack Russell Terrier travels happily in the car, “takes her treats like a lady” and loves to play with toys, especially soft ones that can be torn to pieces. The Dogs Trust said it barks and flies in fear at people passing through its kennel, but the insecure dog builds strong bonds with humans over time. The charity said: “Once she has settled into a suitable home, we are sure she will relax quickly and feel safe again. Bella is looking for a home without children, as her experiences with them have not always been positive. She will also need to be the only dog ​​in the house, as she lacks the trust of others “.

Biscuit

Biscuit the English bull terrier (Image: Dogs Trust) This “beautiful” English Bull Terrier “undoubtedly lives up to its name as it is an absolute sweet pie and just needs a lot of love and affection”. Toys are not her cup of tea, but Biscuit shakes her bum frantically when people approach for a hug. She is pushed from A to B in a stroller, as she does not like to walk on an electrode, so new owners will have to build her confidence with lead. She is a little overweight, so a good diet and exercise will do her good. The cookie entered the kennel because she no longer went with the other dog in the house, so she should be the only dog ​​in her new home. The Dogs Trust said: “As long as it was in the center, it was okay to smell other dogs in a friendly way, but it loses interest after a while. She has not lived with children in the past, however she has had occasional interactions with them. children at home to be over 10 years old. “

Weight

Bob the lurcher (Image: Dogs Trust) This friendly eight-year-old lurcher is affectionate, friendly and prefers human interaction to games, gladly goes to anyone to say hello and actively seeks out a fuss from his operators. He likes to be out exploring, exercising and running away, but he is “a little too passionate about wildlife”, so you should watch him as he is very fast. A recent attack by two dogs that were not captive before coming to the Dogs Trust left Bob less confident about other dogs than he used to be. The charity said: “He’s going to be better as the only pet at the moment, but he should be allowed to say hello to well-trained dogs he looks comfortable with. Bob is home trained and can be alone for a few hours. “No worries. Once settled. She can live with children around 10.”

Bonnie

Bonnie the Belgian Shepherd / Dutch Shepherd (Image: Dogs Trust) Just eight months old, this Belgian Shepherd / Dutch cross shepherd “has a lot of potential in the right hands”. A combination of two smart and active breeds, Bonnie loves to walk, spend a lot of time smelling, exploring or playing fetch until she is exhausted. He will also need spiritual stimulation and seek affection. Largely due to lack of socialization, Bonnie reacts to other dogs if they come too close to her. The Dogs Trust recommends “polite and correct recommendations to suitable, well-educated friends” when its adopters have established a bond with Bonnie and Bonnie is ready. The charity said: “Obviously it will have to be the only pet in the house. It fits in well with people and can live with high school kids. Bonnie is not fully trained at home and will need a house where there are no dogs in the neighborhood. gardens and a few in the area in general “.

Bow

Bow the bull mastiff (Image: Dogs Trust) “He may not have the face of an angel, but he has the most beautiful little personality,” according to the Dogs Trust. The Mastiff bull was “terribly underweight” when he arrived in downtown Merseyside in 2019, but now he looks much better. He is still “a little fatter” because he did not exercise regularly in his last home due to illness in the family. He likes the gentle potter and regular exercise will help him become fitter, healthier and lose a few pounds. Bowe needs a family that will “take things too late” as he worries about new people and situations. He will not live with any dog, but he can live with a suitable one. He is home educated and can live with children over 14 years old. The Dogs Trust said: “Understandably, he will need a few visits to the center before going home. The last time he left us, he hid upstairs in his new home for a few days, so don’t expect that either. Lots of him at first, and give the space he needs to come “.

Buddy the American bulldog (Image: Dogs Trust) This “superstar” American Bulldog is very fun, incredibly friendly, very dizzy at times and “gives a smile to the lips of those who meet him”. Buddy is looking for a new family since his previous owner was no longer able to meet his needs. He likes to play games with his handlers and friends with his dogs and could live with children aged 12 and over, as long as they are not bothered by his size. He can be very vocal towards other dogs and may be the best as the only pet, according to the Dogs Trust, but he may like some teammates who can match his style of play. The charity said: “The friend is not used to being alone, and although he is trained at home, he will need someone to be at home with him most of the day. When he first came to us, Buddy had torn his ear and it took many visits to the vet, so he is a little wary of touching him around his head and ears “.

Buddy the Staffordshire Cross (Image: Dogs Trust) “You will probably not find a more angelic face” than that of the cross Buddy the Staffordshire, who “likes to say hello to everyone”. Buddy lived on the streets with his owner for eight years, so it does not bother him much, but he is a little deaf and shows mild signs of dementia as if he occasionally gets a little …
