Age (approx): 10 years
Breed: Cairn Terrier/Maltese cross
Description: Mason is a spritely older gentleman who loves to play fetch and go for walks, but also loves a snooze and a cuddle. Mason has found a lovely new home with a retired couple, where he will have company during the day, a big yard to explore, a couch in the sun and lots of cuddles.

Name: Gypsy
Sex: Female
Age (approx): 4 years
Breed: Cross breed
Description: Gypsy probably isn't the prettiest dog you will ever meet but
she might just be the gentlest one. Recently rescued from a quite tragic
life, she still has an air of sadness about her. But with patience and
kindness, this is slowly lifting to reveal an incredibly soft-natured
teddy bear of a dog who is sweet, kind and affectionate. Gypsy is very sensitive
and submissive and will need lots more gentleness in her life before she
will be able to fully relax and trust people, but she will be a rewarding
and easy care dog who is well worth the effort.

Age (approx): 2 years

Name: Matilda
Sex: Female
Age (approx): 3 years
Breed: Kelpie
Description: "Matilda is doing really well. Her old coat has started falling out
and a nice shiny coat is starting to come through. She really loves it
here I think. She is still very playful but has learnt not to go and jump
on the kids' beds when they are sleeping, she just loves them. She has also
become very fond of one of our cats, (the youngest one, he is about 6mths
old). They play a lot, and Matilda can't understand why the other one (she
is old 16yrs, and hates dogs) doesn't want to play with her, but she keeps
trying. Her basic training is coming along really well, she knows how to
drop, she doesn't understand stay yet, but she does understand wait (for
example with food, or a treat.). Matilda is really a lovely dog, and really friendly. We just
couldn't be without her now I don't think."

Angus is very well trained and loves to please. He gets on very well with other dogs but does not like cats. Angus has a long coat, so his new family must be prepared to keep him well groomed. He is overweight and will need to go on a diet and gradually increase his exercise requirements as he gets fit. Angus was diagnosed with hip displaysia and adopted by his foster carer.

Name: Nina (now Pippen)
Sex: Female
Age (approx): 18 months
Breed: Westie/Maltese x
Description: Nina (now Pippen) has been adopted into a home with two Westies. Nina arrived at the pound in very bad way. She was underweight and her fur was severely matted down to her skin. Despite all that she's gaining confidence and showing herself to be a happy little dog. She's very playful with other dogs and her tail never stops wagging. Nina is a little unsure of herself, especially with new people so needs lots of love and guidance - she likes to be close and loves to be cuddled. There's no doubt she'll blossom into a devoted and loving companion.

easily managed, as she obeys commands and is basically sensible, though she
is very pleased to play and romp if invited. She has a shepherd's high
intelligence, is obedience trained, is very undemanding and is happy to just
quietly follow you around the house and lie at your feet. Further training
will be easy with a dog this clever and cooperative. Sweetie is friendly to everyone but devotes herself most deeply and
enthusiastically to one special person. She is an energetic dog who enjoys off lead exersise - and she comes when

Description: Luca was a big loveable bear of a dog with a happy and friendly personality. Unfortunately he had
an aggressive streak, which made him potentially dangerous.
