Adoptable pups that are 8kg (17 lbs) or less and considered to be small sized. All featured dogs are currently available for adoption in the USA, UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Ireland unless indicated differently in their profile.

Dogs have not been cat tested unless mentioned in their bio, but can be as needed.

  • Paul (M)

    Mixed Breed | DOB Estimate 09/09/2016

    Don’t let Paul’s age fool you, he is a young soul and full of life and energy! He is dog friendly and LOVES people. He will be your best friend, snuggle buddy and tripping hazard, all in one dog. He is such a sweet, smart, overall good boy and deserves a forever family to enjoy retirement with.

  • Faelyn (F)

    Mini Poodle I DOB Estimate: 08/08/2014

    This wonderful little lady is Faelyn. She’s a beautiful older poodle who is seeking a retirement home with people who are around most of the time to tell her how special she is. She enjoys sunbathing, napping and modelling the latest fashion trends. She’d love a quiet home to potter around in, potentially with calm dogs for companionship.

  • Maricio (M)

    Pomeranian Mix | DOB Estimate: 02/02/2020

    This wonderful bundle of fur and kisses is Maricio. He loves people and is an absolute snugglebug! He’s quite active and likes to supervise any activities. Gets along well with other dogs but can be grumpy around food, so deserves a home where he is the centre of attention. Here's another video of this cutie to win you over.

  • Jolie (F)

    Norfolk Terrier Mix I DOB Estimate: 09/09/2020

    This gorgeous thing is Jolie. She loves people and cuddles and will gently ask for attention by looking into your soul with her big brown eyes. Her white socks and beard make her a real character and her ears ‘do the triangle thing’ when she sees or hears something she’s interested in. A total gem of a dog, would be a great family pet.

  • Dottie (F)

    Chihuahua Havanese Mix I DOB Estimate: 08/08/2023

    Dottie is a shy little munchkin who is desperately looking for a fun home where she can be loved forever. She would love to live with another small / medium sized dog for confidence and could potentially live with older children. She has the underbite of a European princess and the judgy eyebrows of my high school librarian.

  • Nico (M)

    Mixed Breed | DOB Estimate: 07/07/2020

    Playful, shy to begin with, and quiet. Once Nico knows you, he loves hugs and attention, but he needs to learn to trust you first. Happily living with pups of all sizes, looks to other dogs for confidence. Nico needs a quiet home (no young children). More pics & info here!

  • Oatley (M)

    Miniature Poodle | 11/11/2017

    This quirky little guy will melt your heart with his crooked smile and deserves to retire with his own family to fuss over him. Despite his age, he’s young at heart! He may limp around after running around a bit from a sensitive back leg, but it doesn’t slow him down. After a few butt scratches, this guy will be your best friend for life.

  • Dana (F)

    Chihuahua Terrier Mix | Estimated DOB: 11/11/2017

    An extremely sweet and gentle natured girl who has come so far & deserves to have a warm, loving home. Enjoys the company of other dogs but would be best with calm, gentle, similar sized pups, if any. Nervous with strangers (goes very shy and timid), but once she knows you, she really comes out of her shell and just wants to love you. More pics and info here!

  • Lake (F)

    Chihuahua Mix | DOB Estimate: 03/03/2022

    Takes a second to find her courage but is crazy affectionate once she knows her people. Loves being held and fussed over and is a gentle, sweet natured girl. Would suit a quiet home by herself where she can be the centre of attention or with another calm dog who won’t sneak up on her blind side. Homes with older, dog-savvy children will be best.

  • Siofa (F)

    Chihuahua Mix I DOB Estimate 03/03/2021

    Siofa is a beautiful soul and has all the best traits of a small dog - she’s curious, sassy, thinks she’s in charge and knows she can get away with anything because of her cuteness! She gets along well with other dogs and loves her people once she warms up. She has the trademark Chinese underbite and would be a great companion for walks and hikes.

  • Fig (M)

    Pekingese Mix | DOB Estimate: 12/12/2016

    Fig is a playful, sweet-natured boy, who has a playful side that comes out once he feels comfortable and knows you. He needs pup friends to feed confidence from, so we will only be looking for a home with at least one other calm, gentle pup. Best in a home without small children as it takes him a while to warm up. More pics and info here!

  • June (F)

    Chihuahua Mix | DOB Estimate: 08/08/2023

    This gentle, petite, lovely girl is extremely sweet and just wants to be near you. She is a little shy but really does love people and is affectionate. She is a sucker for treats though and will be best buddies pretty quickly with anyone who will feed her. She gets along with other dogs who are calm and a similar size - she could live with sensible teenagers.

  • Florida (F)

    Mixed Breed | DOB Estimate: 11/11/2018

    Dog and people friendly, but very skittish and nervous of new people. She loves the sofa, anywhere she can sit and watch or curl up in a tiny ball and nap. Rescued heavily pregnant from a meat market, she has gone strength to strength with her rehabilitation, and now is looking for a home to help continue it. We're looking for a calm, quiet house (no kids) to help her relax and continue to build confidence in a friendly and loving environment. More info & pics here.

  • Mister (M)

    Poodle Mix | 10/10/2021

    A classic poodle mix with enviable coloured hair, this boy knows how stunning he is. He’s a confident, playful, friendly boy who will gallop around the yard like a horse on a spring day when he’s excited and loves a cuddle when he’s tired. He’s on the ‘larger’ end of our small dogs size range but is still definitely a little lad who could fit perfectly into anyone’s home.

  • Elm (M)

    Spitz Mix | DOB Estimate: 12/12/2018

    Elm has moderate/medium energy, enjoying both playing and chilling. He is dog & people friendly. He’s never seen without a big smile on his face. He will become a shadow and best friend to those who treat him with love and admiration. He has little concept of personal space - your lap is his bed, for example! He could easily live with other dogs. More pics & info here.

  • Duncan (M)

    Terrier Mix I DOB Estimate: 05/05/2022

    Duncan is an amazing boy and is looking for his forever home. He would love a home with people around for most of the day; he does get along with other dogs but he LOVES humans. Once he knows you, he will woo you with his butt wiggles and tippy-tappy toes. He doesn't like large dogs or pups who play rough. Dog savvy kids would be considered for this handsome mister.

  • Ursie (F)

    Terrier Mix | DOB Estimate: 01/01/2022

    Ursie is a little lovebug. She’s very people orientated, and will giddily hop over to you with her paw outstretched ready to jump onto your lap. Unlike most terriers she’s patient and undramatic, so would be happiest living with other calm dogs, or as an only dog.

  • Matilda (F)

    Terrier Mix I DOB Estimate: 03/03/2023

    Sweet Matilda is a wondeful little beauty. She’s incredibly bright and affectionate and would really like to have a place to let her hair down. She’s a little overwhelmed by all the other dogs, but would enjoy the company of similar sized, calm dogs to help build her confidence whilst she settles in. She’s playful and cheeky once she’s comfy and will make a great companion.

  • Burdock (M)

    Spitz Mix I DOB Estimate: 03/03/2021

    Handsome fluff-bag Burdock is a curious little man who enjoys living with his friends and supervising the activities of others. He’s friendly ad affectionate once he knows you and will ask for gentle head-scratches by putting his paws up to you. He could live with other dogs and dog-savvy teenagers.

  • Frankie (M)

    Terrier Mix I DOB Estimate: 10/10/2022

    Frankie is a real gentleman - a little shy and cautious to start with but full of patience and respectful of your personal space but with the potential for terrier-style zoomies. He takes a hot second to get his confidence but would be a rewarding boy to have in the home. He’d love a place without much noise and chaos, maybe with a similar sized, calm dog for company.

  • Lemi (M)

    Pom Mix I DOB Estimate 02/02/2022

    Lemi is the most perfect, funniest and cheekiest little man there is! He’s been in Belgium with his amazing foster mum (video here), but we can’t understand how he isn’t adopted yet. He is people and dog friendly, but would love being the center of attention.

    Currently in foster in Belgium. Available for adoption in Germany, France, The Netherlands and the UK

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.
