💕 Meet Sheeba — A Gentle Soul Waiting for Her Happy Ending 💕

Say hello to Sheeba, a beautiful girl with the softest eyes and the kindest heart. Sheeba came into Ferne Animal Sanctuary as a stray, so we don’t know much about her past — but it’s clear she’s had a tough start in life. Right now, she’s a little shy and unsure of the world… but underneath that nervous exterior is a truly wonderful dog just waiting for someone to believe in her. 🫶✨

🐾 A few things we know about Sheeba:

She’s clean in kennels and keeps her space tidy.

She’s great with calm, gentle dogs on and off lead.

She walks beautifully on a loose lead.

She could live with sensible older children (13+), after careful introductions.

She’s happy to be left for short periods (1–2 hours)

Sheeba will chase cats, so a cat-free home is a must.

Her recall will need a little work, but she’s eager to learn.

What Sheeba needs most is patience, kindness, and time. With the right person, she’ll blossom into the loyal, loving friend she’s meant to be. 💖 Once she trusts you, you’ll have a best friend for life.

🏡 Sheeba deserves a second chance. Could you be her happy ending?

📲 If you can offer Sheeba the calm, loving home she’s dreaming of, please apply online today.

🐾 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.

Meet Ruby — This beautiful, sweet little dog arrived at Ferne after her owner sadly passed away, and she’s now hoping for a loving second chance.

Ruby is a gentle, well-mannered girl. She’s house trained, travels well, and has previously lived with cats. She’s friendly with other dogs both on and off lead, walks nicely on a loose lead, and is well-socialised with children aged 6 and up. Ruby is crate trained and is used to being left for 2–3 hours.

Ruby thrives with canine companionship, so she is looking for a home where she can live with another friendly dog to help her feel secure.

If you can offer this gorgeous girl the loving home she deserves, please apply online. 💛🐾

Home I need :

This is Jessie she’s a sweet older lady looking for a quiet, adult only home where she is the only pet as she is used to it being just her and her owner prior to coming to us.  She is generally happy to say hello to new people.  This girl is such a delight once she is confident with you, her little tail (and the rest of her body!)  just does not stop wiggling!  We cannot believe this girl was just hours away from being put to sleep after her owner passed away and no one wanted her.  Despite appearing full of confidence, Jessie has a slightly anxious side to her personality and worries about loud noises such as thunder and fireworks and will come to you for reassurance.  This is making a stay with us in kennels quite difficult for her. Jessie can be reactive with other dogs off lead which is easily manageable, she will generally ignore them out walking on lead.  There are plenty of secure dog fields around now and if you are lucky enough to live in or near a rural area then other dogs can easily be avoided. Jessie doesn’t need masses of long walks and will periodically say that actually she would rather have a cuddle on the sofa today! Jessie will chase cats so a home without them is best.  Jessie is house trained, travels ok, loves playing fetch, use to being left 1/2 hours and walks nicely on a loose lead. If you may be interested in helping Jessie have a loving, comfortable retirement and want to discuss her further then please apply online.

This handsome boy is looking for an adult-only home, or one with older teenagers (13+) who can enjoy his lively, bouncy nature. He can be a bit too enthusiastic around small children, so a calmer environment will suit him best.

Loki is house-trained, travels well, and has previously lived with cats. He’s comfortable being left for 2–3 hours and is playful and friendly with other dogs when off-lead. He absolutely loves attention and fuss.

He can be strong on the lead, and his recall will need continued work in his new home, but with consistency and the right guidance he’ll thrive. Loki is an energetic lad who will need plenty of mental and physical stimulation.

If you can offer Loki the loving, active home he deserves, please apply online.

Meet Toby — our handsome senior gentleman!

Toby has come into Ferne through no fault of his own, and he’s ready to find a loving home to spend his golden years.

Toby is wonderfully well-mannered: he’s fully house-trained, walks beautifully on a loose lead, travels well, and has excellent recall. He’s calm and polite around other dogs, both on and off the lead.

He could happily live with teenagers aged 13+ following careful introductions. Toby is used to being left for short periods (around 1–2 hours). As he hasn’t had experience with small children, a home without young kids would be best. He’s also nervous around cats, so he’ll need a cat-free home.

If you have room in your heart and home for this lovely older boy, please apply online — Toby can’t wait to meet you.
