This is Tillie a young, playful, lively Beagle x breed. She ideally needs a new home where another dog is present to have as a friend. The dog needs to be a calm social dog that is good with people and other dogs, a nice role model.

Tillie is fully house trained, she likes walks and playing with other dogs. She suits an active home, and she does need access to a safe and secure garden space. Tillie has not been off lead so this will definitely require good owner input. She enjoys the company of people so time alone should be minimal. She will travel ok in a vehicle and she likes gentle fuss and interaction. Children should be of teenage if she were to live with any. Tillie will be Spayed in April on our Vets advice.

Please do apply online if you would like to find out more about this lovely girl…

This beautiful Lurcher girl is Heidi. She came in with Willow and Forest from another rescue site that needed our help. Heidi has been named by us, she was found wandering and lost.

There is no history on her so we can only tell you what we are finding out about her here, but she is a friendly gentle dog who is initially shy and timid. She seems to be dog social and enjoys the company of a friendly calm doggy pal. Things like housetraining and what she will be like in a house are all unknowns so we will try and rehome them to owners who will have the time and commitment to adopting a dog with no real history and who will be able to offer Heidi that security and love she so deserves. No cats in the home please. Any children should be over 10 years of age as we don’t have any history, meetings at Ferne will be required. A secure garden area will be essential.

Please apply online if you could offer Heidi a loving new home….

This is Frankie, a young energetic Sprocker who will need an active home with time for training. Frankie is really friendly with all people, he is dog social and he has been around children. We feel he would be best living with older children due to his over exuberant nature so 10 years plus would be best. He will require plenty of good exercise, good on going training and he shouldn’t be left alone at home on his own for very long.

Frankie may be able to live with a doggie pal after meetings carried out here at Ferne. He hasn’t lived with Cats before and we feel a home without them would be best. He really suits a rural home, with plenty of open spaces to run and play in, he does need a secure garden area. He travels well in a car. Frankie hasn’t been neutered yet but we are looking to book it in at our vets asap.

If you have the time for a young energetic dog who will require further training please do apply online…

This little baby is Eric, he is a young, happy natured Male Lurcher. He has lived with another dog and would benefit from doing so again as long as it is the right match. Eric has never been left alone at all and this is an area of his settling in that will require time devoted to it and done over a gradual period of time. He is a friendly boy with lots of energy.

Eric needs a secure safe garden space, he will require active owners who are happy and able to devote proper time to his on going training and settling in. He could live with children from 10 years or over after meetings done here at Ferne.

He is a very typical Lurcher when it comes to wanting to chase small furries so no Cats in the home please.

He loves to play with a ball, he needs a bit more training in regards to travelling in a car and he has not yet been Neutered as he is a bit too young. We feel Eric has so much potential and if you love Lurchers he may well just be the perfect boy for you.

Please apply online if you can offer Eric the home he so deserves.

This beautiful big girl is Soya, she is a Rhodesian Ridgeback X Breed and she will require a special home as she suffers from Seperation Anxiety when left alone. Soya is a very loyal dog once bonded to her owners and she is playful and affectionate.

She will 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 may be able to share her home with a suitable doggie pal, she prefers dogs of her own size or bigger. Soya very much wants to please and enjoys both verbal and physical praise more than treats at times.

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, she is not suited to a town/city location. Soya does LOVE balls and likes to play but she can be a little protective of her ball so this will be an area to watch if sharing her new home with another dog. She is a big gentle giant at heart but please only apply online if you are 100% sure you can commit to helping her with the seperation anxiety and have the rural set up she requires to live a happy life.

This is Amber, a 9 year old Lurcher mix who is desperately seeking her forever home. Amber is being cared for here at Ferne Animal Sanctuary in Somerset, where she has been in kennels since November 2021. We will rehome Amber to anywhere in the UK if it is the right home set up for her. Distance is no problem.

Originally from a Stray pound in Wales she arrived in quite a poor state.

So here’s the thing, Amber is one of hundreds of Lurchers looking for their new loving forever home all over the UK, so why pick her? Well, she is the most loving of dogs, she is so friendly to everyone she meets on walks, wriggling her whole body as she greets people. She is playful, she is treat motivated, she walks nicely on a lead when not distracted. She could live with children 10 years or older after successful meetings here at Ferne. She travels well in a car /  van. She could probably be left alone for short periods as long as she had a comfy bed to curl up in.

The key to Amber’s successful rehoming is the right sort of home environment – She needs a home that is quiet, that is rural and away from lots of dog walkers or passing dogs. She needs an active owner who can take her on nice walks up on the moors, or other such open spaces so she will feel safe. She will always need to be on lead in public places and wear her muzzle on all walks, due to her high prey drive. Amber would love free running time in an enclosed secure dog park maybe once a week to allow her to release some of her energy. She does have sore hips now so exercise will need to be managed for her comfort. She cannot live with Cats or small furries.

She may be able to live with a Male sighthound if meetings went well at Ferne. Owners who understand this breed and all its traits would be really great, but also if you have large dog experience and have lived with and managed a reactive dog in the past we would love to hear from you. Ambers time in kennels exceeds any of our other dogs, she really is a treasure and deserves a chance….If you meet the above criteria please get in touch by applying online…. Thank you.

This pair of French Bull Dogs are hoping to find a new loving home together. They are a sweet little pair of dogs and Luna does really take comfort from having Dave around.

Ideally they need a quiet home, no other dogs or cats, minimal time alone and with a secure garden area. An Adult home would be best as they can be quite sensitive. They enjoy playing with toys and like their walks. A home in a quiet area and with not too much in the way of passing dogs and loud children will be great.

Luna can be shy at times and needs to be handled gently at all times, as she doesn’t like to be overwhelmed.

They are very clean little dogs and in the right home will no doubt make lovely little pets. Please do apply online if you could offer them the home they need.

This is River, she is a young Staffie X French Bull Dog who is full of beans and looking for her new loving forever home. She is very energetic and definitely requires a lot more basic obedience training.

We are currently doing a lot of daily work with River to improve her on lead reactions toward other dogs in our care, and we would be looking for new owners who can continue this work and help River in this area.

River will most likely need to live as the only Pet in her new home, she will need a 100% secure garden that is not shared with other people. She is a playful and very loving young dog and she really loves toys and treats, which are beneficial to help her on going training. River isn’t a dog that could be taken to busy dog walking locations or where lots  of dogs run about off lead – She needs quiet walks, plenty of space and is likely to be required to be kept on a lead in public spaces. Access to one of the secure pay per hour dog paddocks that are now available locally will be really useful, maybe once a week. She could live with children 10 years and older after meetings at Ferne.

If you are experienced with Bull Breeds or Bull Breed crosses please do apply online and we would love to tell you more about River….
