Charlie

8 years old

No items found.
How handsome is Charlie? With his striking white blaze running from his chest to his nose and his adorable grey eyebrows hinting at his senior years, this charming boy is sure to catch your eye. Charlie loves a good sniffari and is an absolute pleasure to walk, taking busy streets, passing dogs and new environments in his stride before showing off the occasional burst of zoomies when he's feeling extra happy. Having lived comfortably in a home, he settles beautifully, enjoys relaxing on a cosy bed, and is known for his gentle, affectionate nature. Charlie can't wait to leave kennel life behind and find a calm, child-free home where he can enjoy the quiet companionship and comforts he loves most.

Cornetto

4 years old

Child tolerant

Much like the instrument he’s named after, Cornetto is a beautifully composed boy who carries himself with a quiet, graceful elegance. This handsome lad with his adorable grey face has a gentle, calm nature that plays out like a soft, melodious tune — never too loud, never too brash, just perfectly harmonious. Cornetto moves through life at his own unhurried tempo, bringing a soothing presence to everything around him. Sweet-natured and wonderfully friendly, he has a way of striking just the right note with everyone he meets, making him an absolute pleasure to be around. Cornetto is a versatile soul who can perform beautifully as a solo act or as part of a duet — he may suit living with or without a canine companion of a similar size, making him a great fit for a variety of households. Like a skilled musician who can adapt to any ensemble, he is happy to share the stage or take the spotlight all for himself. Cornetto has a hygroma on his Left elbow. This is a collection of fluid which often occurs over bony prominences on dogs. This is especially seen with repeated exposure to hard surfaces. Hygromas are generally not harmful to a dog's wellbeing and are non-painful. He would do best in a home with children aged 10 and over who can appreciate his gentle, measured nature. If you’re looking for a four-legged companion to bring a little quiet music into your life, Cornetto might just be the perfect melody for your home.

Buddy

2 years old

Child tolerant

Buddy is the kind of dog who enters a room and instantly makes it brighter — a big, handsome, boofy boy with a personality to match his size. Friendly, outgoing, and brimming with confidence, he approaches life with boundless enthusiasm and a happiness that is utterly contagious. Excitable and boisterous, Buddy is not what you’d call a wallflower — standing still is simply not in his vocabulary — but his joy is so genuine and so exuberant that it’s impossible not to smile in his presence. Throw in a tasty treat or a favourite toy and you’ll have one very happy boy on your hands. Buddy is a dog who needs space to match his enormous energy and even bigger personality, so a home with a backyard is a must — somewhere he can zoom, bound, and burn off that glorious enthusiasm of his. He will thrive with an active family who can match his zest for life and keep him engaged, stimulated, and loved. In return, Buddy will bring laughter, liveliness, and a whole lot of heart to whoever is lucky enough to call him theirs. Buddy may suit living with or without a canine likeminded friend of similar size and children aged 10 years and older.

Pistachio

6 years old

Child tolerant

Meet Pistachio — a gentle soul with a quietly charming presence, as comforting and pleasing as his namesake. This handsome male Greyhound is a more reserved character, preferring calm companionship over chaos, but once he warms up, his affectionate nature truly shines.

He’s completed behavioural rehabilitation training and is well on his way, but will still benefit from a patient home willing to continue guiding his manners at a steady, supportive pace. Pistachio will thrive in a peaceful home with adults or families with children 18+, where his gentle nature can be respected — he’s not suited to homes with elderly individuals. He can live as an only dog or alongside a calm, medium to large canine companion, but cannot be placed with small dogs or cats.

For the right adopter, he’ll be a loyal, loving companion — a soft, steady presence with just the right amount of sweetness.
