🐾 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 — and don’t forget to check out his video by clicking “Enquire About Me”!

Meet Bella – A Sweet Girl Looking for Her Forever Home

Bella is a lovely girl who came into Ferne Animal Sanctuary after her previous owner was sadly no longer able to care for her. She recently gave birth to a litter of puppies just five weeks ago, so she isn’t quite ready for adoption yet — but we’re starting to gather interest now to help her find the perfect home when the time comes.

Bella is a gentle soul who travels well in the car and gets along with other dogs when off-lead. She walks nicely on a loose lead and enjoys her time outdoors.

She’s still learning a few important things and will need a little help with:

House training

Recall when off-lead

Being left alone gradually

Because of her gentle nature and current needs, Bella is looking for an adult-only home, or one with older children aged 11+ following careful introductions.

If you think you can offer Bella the loving, patient home she deserves, please apply online today to express your interest.

This is Max, he came into Ferne as a stray from the dog pound and had come to the end of his stay time, so we don’t have any previous history about him. He was thrown out like a piece of rubbish whereas in fact, Max is pure treasure!  This gorgeous boy will make the most wonderful friend and companion.  He would thrive on the attention of a family with older children/teens (purely because of his size and enthusiasm for cuddles!).  He walks nicely on the lead, he knows some basic commands and has lovely manners.  He is good with other dogs, he will chase cats if they run.

Everyone who meets this dog, loves him.  He really is a very special boy, his sheer exuberance for life will make anyone smile on the toughest day.

Meet Elvis

Elvis is a sweet, lively young chap looking for a loving home where he can continue his training and grow into the wonderful dog we know he’ll be. He’s still a puppy, full of energy, curiosity, and love to give.

✨ About Elvis

House trained (nearly)

Playful with other dogs

Used to being left for 1–2 hours

Walks nicely on a loose lead

Travels well in the car

🎓 Training

Elvis is still learning, so his recall needs more work before being trusted off-lead. He would really benefit from attending puppy classes with his new family to help him build confidence and skills.

💛 What He Needs

A home that can offer him patience, consistency, and plenty of love as he continues to learn. In return, you’ll have a fun, affectionate, and loyal companion.

Elvis is currently awaiting a full veterinary health check.

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.

Meet Hank – Your Gentle Giant

Hank came into Ferne as a stray, so we don’t have any background history on him. What we do know is that he’s a big-hearted, friendly boy who’s won us all over.

Hank is great with adults and could live with older teenagers, provided introductions are done carefully. He’s clean in his kennel both during the day and overnight, and he gets along well with other medium/small dogs off lead.

He walks nicely on a loose lead most of the time, has good recall in our secure fields, and travels well in a van — a great companion for days out and adventures.

Hank is still learning to be comfortable when left alone, so he’ll need support and patience while he builds confidence. He does have a strong chase instinct around cats, so a cat-free home is essential. Hank can be reactive with other dogs on lead so this will need working on in his new home.

If you’ve got room on your sofa — and in your heart — for this big, friendly giant, please apply online. He’s ready to find his forever home.
