Meet Sirius!

Sirius is a young, lively lurcher puppy bursting with enthusiasm and ready to learn. He’s already house-trained, has lived happily with children aged 4+, and is playful and friendly with other dogs when off lead. He has also lived with cats, travels well, and enjoys showing off his excellent recall.

As a growing pup, Sirius will need continued support with loose-lead walking and help building up his confidence when left alone, as he doesn’t like being on his own for long periods just yet.

If you can offer this handsome boy the loving, committed home he deserves, please apply online — he can’t wait to meet you!

🐾 Meet Shadow (aka Shadrack)

Shadow is a big-hearted goofball looking for his forever home — one that’s adults-only and filled with patience, understanding, and love.

This handsome sighthound came to us as a welfare case after living in a car, so the world is still a pretty new and sometimes overwhelming place for him. Because of this, Shadow needs someone who will take things slowly, helping him build confidence through calm, positive experiences and continued training.

Shadow can get overexcited or bark in new situations — sometimes he just doesn’t quite know what to do with all his energy! But once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll find he’s incredibly funny, affectionate, and loyal. He’s the kind of dog who will keep you smiling every day.

🌳 Shadow’s ideal home:

Adults-only and in a quiet, rural area

Patient owner willing to go at his pace

No cats or small furries (he has a strong prey drive!)

Best as the only dog in the home

🎾 What Shadow loves:

Playing with toys and having zoomies

Walks on a loose lead

Spending time with people he trusts

Relaxing after a good play session

🚗 Other notes:

House trained

Fine being left for 2–3 hours

Playful with other dogs off-lead

Whines a little when travelling but soon settles

Shadow might take a little time to come out of his shell, but when he does, you’ll have a loyal, hilarious, and loving companion by your side.

If you think you can give this special boy the calm, patient home he deserves, please apply online today.

Home I need :

Meet Norman — a worried and nervous boy who is looking for a calm, adult-only home with no children. Once Norman gets to know you, he becomes the most loyal, loving companion you could ask for.

Norman can be reactive to people both on and off lead, so he needs a home in a quiet, low-traffic area. He will chase cats, so he must be the only pet in the household.

He is currently working with a behaviourist, and it’s important that his new family continues his training programme with Ryan Leese, Dog Trainer, to help him keep progressing.

Norman’s strengths:

Fully house trained

Muzzle trained

Excellent recall in secure, private fields

Loves fetch and is very treat-motivated

Travels well

Walks nicely on a loose lead

Comfortable being left for 2–3 hours

Norman desperately needs a second chance with someone who can offer patience, time, and understanding. If you think you can give this sweet boy the stable home he deserves, please apply online.

Norman can’t wait to meet you. 🐾

Home I need :

Meet Rodney – a sweet, sensitive little chap searching for his forever home.

Rodney can be a nervous boy at first, so he’s looking for an owner with plenty of time, patience, and kindness to help him feel safe and settled. He’ll need support with his house training, as he can have the occasional accident when left. Rodney loves being the centre of attention, so he’s best suited as the only dog in the home, and because he will growl at cats, a cat-free home is essential.

Once he learns to trust you, Rodney blossoms into a loyal, loving companion who simply wants to be by your side. Please read his description carefully before applying!

Rodney’s lovely qualities:

Walks beautifully on a loose lead

Friendly with other dogs, both on and off lead

Best suited to a home with older children (13+)

Travels well

Comfortable being left for 3–4 hours

Anxious and shy at first, but incredibly affectionate once settled

If you can offer this dear little chap the loving home he truly deserves, please apply online.

Rodney can’t wait to meet his special person. ❤️🐾

Home I need :

Meet Layla, a gorgeous small Whippet cross who came into Ferne through no fault of her own. 💛

Layla is house trained and happy to be left for 2–3 hours. She has excellent recall, walks beautifully on a loose lead, and is friendly with other dogs both on and off lead. She travels well in the car and has previously lived with children aged 8 and above.

Layla does have a strong chase instinct, so a home without cats would be best for her.

This sweet little girl has the most loving nature and truly is one of those dogs who steals your heart the moment you meet her. Layla is patiently waiting for her special person to give her the forever home she deserves.

If you feel you could offer Layla a loving home, please apply online. 🐾

Home I need :

Meet Ghost – a gorgeous, affectionate girl looking for her forever home!

Ghost is a wonderful dog who thrives with plenty of physical and mental stimulation. She is friendly with other dogs when off-lead, travels well, is fully house-trained, and absolutely loves playing fetch. She’s a big fan of water, enjoys being groomed, and is used to being left for 3–4 hours. Ghost has also been well socialised with children aged 11 and up. Ghost is best rehomed as the only dog as she can be food/toy possessive around other dogs only.

She can bark at other dogs and people while on the lead, so her new home will need to continue working on her confidence and manners in these situations. Her lead walking and recall will also benefit from further training. Ghost has a strong chase instinct around cats, so a cat-free home is essential.

Once she bonds with you, Ghost is incredibly loyal and gives the most amazing cuddles and kisses. She’s a sweet, loving girl who just needs the right person to help her shine.

If you can offer Ghost the loving, active home she deserves, please apply online.

🐾 Meet Kerry — A Sweet Retired Racing Greyhound 🐾

Kerry is a lovely retired racing greyhound who’s now ready to find her forever home. She’s never lived in a house before, so she’ll need some gentle guidance with house training and settling in. With a little patience and plenty of love, Kerry will blossom into the perfect companion. Kerry is looking for a home without another dog as she likes all the attention/fuss to herself.

As a typical greyhound, Kerry has a high prey drive around small furries and cats, so she’s best suited to a home without them.

Walks nicely on a loose lead 🦮

Travels well in the car 🚗

Friendly with other lurcher types both on and off lead 🐶

Muzzle trained

Could live with older children in the home age 11+
