Soya

Breed : Rhodesian Ridgeback X Breed

D.O.B : 14/04/2019

Sex : Female neutered

Weight: 34kg

Temperament : A very sensitive girl, loyal, playful

Home I need :

This beautiful big girl is Soya, she is a Rhodesian Ridgeback X Breed.

Soya is a very loyal dog once bonded to her owners and she is playful and affectionate.

She will ideally require a home in a rural setting as she also has some noise sensitivities such as Fireworks, Thunder, busy environments. Soya will suit a calm home with kind and consistant new owners who are prepared to work with Soya and help her settle in and live a happy life. She needs a home as the only dog. (She may be able to share a suitable home with a Male dog that is social and not too small) Soya very much wants to please and enjoys both verbal and physical praise, as well as lovely treats. Soya doesn’t like being left alone and this is an area that will require support in a new home.

She will require a good amount of daily exercise to keep her happy and she is used to freedom and space, so a large enclosed garden is essential. She has been around children in the past and we feel children over 10 years would suit. She enjoys walks near water in the countryside or at the coast. Soya does love balls and loves to run off lead in our secure fields, playing fetch. She is a big gentle giant at heart and a very loving girl.

Soya will mix with other dogs but it needs to be done sensibly, she has alot of very good, reliable history that her previous owners gave to us and we can share this with any potential new owners.

She really is a lovely dog, she already has an excellent level of basic obedience too and is very responsive to those people whom she has a good bond with…Please do apply online and if we feel your offer of a home is a good match, we can arrange for you to come and meet Soya, once you meet her you will love her.

 

LUNA

Breed : Labrador X Breed

D.O.B : 03/09/2019

Sex : Female neutered

Weight: 26kg

Temperament : Sweet natured fun loving girl easily worried by new things

Home I need :

This is Luna, it can take her a little bit of time to feel fully comfortable with new people, but once she does she will shower you in kisses for sure. She is a very amusing girl and makes everyone smile here at Ferne with her exuberant nature and her bouncing around the fields antics. She loves to be out in the fields running and bouncing about in sheer joy.

Luna is best suited to a home with no other dogs, no small pets and a home without any children. A quiet, rural, semi rural home with owners who are at home alot of the day. Luna has had little socialisation with other dogs and therefore can be reactive when meeting them on lead. She has made friends with several dogs here at Ferne but can be over enthusiastic and needs to develop her social skills further.

Luna will need further guidance on how to cope when meeting new people and new dogs, so full on going support will be given from Ferne to her new family. Luna really is an absolute sweetie and if you enjoy country walks and bouncing around fields she is just the dog for you.

Please apply online if you could offer her the home she craves.

More details soon.

DEXTER

Breed : X Breed

D.O.B : 15/02/2022

Sex : Male neutered

Weight: 30kg

Temperament : A sensitive boy who really prefers a quiet life

Home I need :

Originally from Hungary as a puppy, Dexter has spent most of his life in rescue. He had little socialisation until he came to Ferne and so found the outside world quite daunting. However he has grown in confidence since arriving with us and is now looking for someone who can continue his education in the big wide world.

Dexter loves other dogs and enjoys a good run around with them. He is so gentle with timid or less confident dogs and knows exactly how to support them when they are worried. Dexter does need to live with another dog (or two) as he takes confidence from them, and this will help him become more settled in every day life. A rural, quiet home is essential for this special boy as he still has alot to learn about life. He may be able to live with older children but not young ones as he would find them over whelming.

You will need to visit the sanctuary a few times to spend time with Dexter, and get to know him before he could go off to his new home. This process will greatly benefit him and any new owners, and it will let Dexter gain his trust in his new family before leaving us for his forever home.

Please do consider this special boy and apply online today.

LOUIS

Breed : X Breed

D.O.B : 15/02/2022

Sex : Male neutered

Weight: 33kg

Temperament : A sensitive but happy big boy who is full of mischief

Home I need :

Louis arrived in the UK from Hungary as a puppy and had little socialisation before he came to us. It took a few months before he was able to trust the people caring for him. But now he is much more confident, and whilst still wary of new people, Louis enjoys the fuss from those he trusts. One of his favourite pastimes is running around the fields with his doggie friends. However he is never far away from his people and happily comes to you when he is called.

Louis needs a rural home with a calm, mature dog who can further help him develop his social skills. He will need a lot of support when he leaves Ferne and goes off to his new home, so it will be ideal that his new owners are around alot. As he settles and his confidence grows he will then be able to be gradually be left alone. Louis has no experience of young children so he is best suited to a home with children over the age of 12 years and who are gentle around dogs.

Louis can sometimes be lead reactive towards other dogs, this is something we can help with and advise on. Access to private fields or a dog paddock will be ideal. When off lead with a dog Louis is much happier and more confident , even becoming a little over enthusiastic at times. If you would like to meet Louis you will be invited to visit him a few times so you can get to know each other before taking him home. He is an absolute sweet heart and a big kind boy.

Please do apply online if you could offer him the home he so deserves.

Home I need :

He is a stressed chap in our kennels and cries alot of the time. He is shy with people and will need a calm and gentle approach. A home with no children and no cats is what we are looking for.

He will need a secure garden space, and he will need gradually getting used to going in a car as he is worried by travel at the moment. Tyson cannot be left alone as he becomes distressed so a home where this wont happen very often is essential for him and his well being.
