  • Boon (M)

    Malinois | DOB Estimate 05/05/2020

    The most goofy, funny, entertaining and playful pup. He is super intelligent and would do really well with a job to challenge him. Due to his high-energy, we don’t recommend little kids as he could accidentally knock them over. Needs an active and experienced home that can keep up with his energy. Here’s an example of the entertainment he’d provide you with.

  • Fallon (F)

    Collie Mix I DOB Estimate: 01/01/2023

    Stunning Fallon is an active lass who would really love a home she can protect, and learn new things. We think she could be great with a job, doing agility, being a running buddy or a hiking companion. She can be chatty at times, but it’s likely due to lack of proper stimulation. She is high energy and wants to explore. She’s very focused on her humans, so would be receptive to training. She likes to shout when she’s excited…reminds me of being at my first Fall Out Boy concert.

  • Blaze (M)

    German Shepherd | DOB Estimate: 01/01/2019

    Blaze is an affectionate loyal boy who likes to hug your legs when you walk. He's a quiet observer and has a very calm energy, but he can be protective of his human around other pups (has a dominant side). We're looking for a home without small animals or young children. He will make an amazing and devoted best friend as he just wants to be a good boy with a human to look after. More pics and info here!

  • Bette (F)

    Labrador mix I DOB Estimate: 03/03/2023

    Take all the best qualities of a Labrador and put them into a body ¾ the size - hey presto, you have Bette! She’s playful, friendly, great with other dogs and extremely gentle with people. She’s eager to please, so could be a great first time dog or family pet. She would love regular walks and outings with her humans!

  • Kaitlyn (F)

    Labrador | DOB Estimate 03/03/2021

    Such a sweet girl who was rescued a week before delivering 6 little babies - such a strong mama! She is great with all dogs but loves people more. She was shy at first and kept to herself but she is really coming out of her shell and finding her confidence. She is your classic lab personality; cheeky, food motivated and loves a belly rub… Sounds a bit like me!

  • Rosa (F)

    Husky | DOB Estimate 12/12/2020

    The stunning blue-eyed Rosa loves the outdoors and the snow. An active family would suit her well. Her high-energy makes her best for a home without small children. She is good with other dogs but prefers to have her own adventures. She can be stubborn, with selective hearing when it's time to go inside (classic Husky) so we'd love a home with experience in the breed who can really embrace her and bring out the best in her. Look in to her eyes - aaaand you belong to her now.

  • Anwar (M)

    Shepherd Mix | DOB Estimate: 03/03/2018

    Friendly & playful fella patiently waiting to find his forever family. Gets on well with other big dogs, but needs an experienced home and time to decompress. Truly a loving, gentle giant once he knows you!

    Adoptable in EU

  • Odie (M)

    Malanois | DOB Estimate: 10/10/2019

    Odie is an absolute babe, except for when he's in his crate for night, then his protective side comes out. People friendly and happy for attention. He is an extremely smart, energetic boy who would do best with an active family without children or small animals. An experienced home with knowledge of Malanois could change this boy's world, he has so much promise. More pics and info here!

  • Miso (F)

    Lab/Shepherd Mix I DOB Estimate: 3/3/2024

    Miso is SUCH a friendly, sweet and mellow girl. Big fan of fusses and made a big, loving impression on recent volunteers. In a buzzing room of chaotic dogs, she would lay in the back and patiently wait her turn for some attention. She is shy at first but once she knows you, she is quite outgoing and warms up quick, usually jumping up (gently) for some pets once she knows it’s safe. She is treat motivated and smart so we believe she’d be a fast learner and make for a great companion.

  • Petra (F)

    Schnauzer Mix I DOB Estimate: 04/04/2022

    Our good girl Petra is a beautiful, scruffy young lady. She’s gentle, inquisitive, intelligent and loves attention from people. She’s slim but tall and never causes chaos with the other dogs. She would be great for someone who enjoys walking adventures, then settling on the sofa for a well earned nap. Due to her hair type, she doesn’t shed much, so could be more suitable for someone with allergies.

  • Donny (M)

    Springer Spaniel I DOB Estimate: 06/06/2021

    Donny is a perfect example of what happens when you give a dog some patience and love. He was super anxious when he arrived off a meat truck in 2023 and now he’s a handsome lovebug who plays, sunbathes and enjoys life. He doesn’t have the crazy energy associated with his breed, but he would still love a home where he can learn and feel included in activities. He’s strong but gentle and loves his people very deeply.

  • Franklin (M)

    Golden Retreiver I DOB Estimate 10/10/2023

    Franklin here enjoys nothing more than living each day ot the fullest Whether it’s body-slamming his friends, getting treats from his humans or jumping up to high places to better survery his world, he loves every second of it. He’s a classic teenage lad, full of energy and sass. He would love a balanced, active home where he can go for runs or hikes, then flop down for a snooze in the evening.

  • Little Deer (F)

    German Shepard Mix | DOB Estimate 09/09/2021

    Little Deer is a really stumpy legged shepherd mix, who just wants love and to play when she knows you. She’s been good with pups of all shapes and sizes. People friendly, gets so excited once she trusts you. Can be standoffish at first. Best in a home without children, so it's calm and predictable for her to settle in. Shepherd experienced homes very welcomed. More pics and info here!

  • Bridget (F)

    Labrador I DOB Estimate: 01/01/2020

    If you looked up 'Labrador' in the dictionary, you'd see a photo of this good girl. She is loving, happy, playful and beautiful. Bridget loves nothing more than pottering along, following her people, sunbathing and looking stunning. She's an adorable dumpling of a dog who lives happily alongside similar sized dogs - she would be a great family dog and would be happy with dog savvy chlidren.

  • Khyber (M)

    Samoyed I DOB Estimate 01/01/2022

    Ultimate fluff-butt Khyber is stunning and he knows it! He's true to his breed and is a perfect balance of regal and chaotic. He spends his days rough-housing with his Labrador best friend, running around like a crazy demon and educating those around him on why he's right and everyone else is wrong. He needs someone with an understanding of what Samoyeds require and who won't fall for his good looks and let him rule the house.

  • Celine (F)

    German Shepherd Mix I DOB Estimate: 11/11/2023

    Celine is a wonderfully confident young dog who won first place in our ‘Best Ears’ contest. She enjoys playing with the other large dogs, wrestling and chasing but also thoroughly enjoys human attention. Due to her German Shepherd-ness, she does bond strongly with her people and likes to keep an eye over everything that’s happening. She’s intelligent and eager to please and would be great in a home with teenagers.

  • Paws (M)

    Labrador | DOB Estimate 09/09/2021

    Saved from a restaurant with one paw missing, you’d be surprised to know he’s too boisterous for young kids. He legit hasn’t stopped smiling since the day we got him, in classic Labrador fashion. Doesn’t even realize he’s missing a back foot. He gets around great and loves to play - proof here. He also loves everyone. He is such a character and will make his forever home super happy.

  • Mercedes (F)

    Golden Retriever I DOB Estimate: 05/05/2023

    Our copper-haired beauty is as stunning on the inside as she is on the outside. She adores people and is gentle and calm when getting attention. With other dogs, she enjoys rough-housing, wrestling, chasing and being chased by her friends. She is confident and sets a good example for other dogs. She would be great with a family (older children preferred, simply due to her size) and would love to find a home to call her own.

Adoption FAQs

  • Oh yes! Due to our tiny sized team, we get what we can updated but have tons of amazing dogs available for adoption. Feel free to send in a general application saying what you are looking for and we can help you find your match! We have hundreds of adoptable animals at all times.

  • We only adopt where we have a support network, ensuring we can always be there for our rescues even after adoption so there's minimal risk of any failings. We work with partner rescues but we also handle adoptions privately. The last thing we would want after all of their rehabilitation, is for them to leave us to be failed again by humans and undo all their progress.

  • 1) We receive an application (you can apply for a particular animal, or leave it blank if you are open to our suggestions)

    2) We review the applications usually within a week. Be sure to check spam folder!

    3) If we wish to pursue yours, you'll be invited for a homecheck.

    4) If the homecheck is approved, we will then start the matching process. We will ensure that we feel the pup/cat is a good fit.

    5) Once the match is secured, we will begin travel plans. It can take on average between 1-4 months, depending on the location.

  • All you pay for is transportation home. Your pet will also be fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered + medically examined for behavioral or medical conditions to reduce any surprises.
