Home I need :

💕 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.

 

Shadow

Breed : Saluki x

D.O.B : 27/08/2022

Sex : Male neutered

Weight: 23KG

Temperament : Lively, friendly

Home I need :

🐾 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”!

Temperament : Sweet, friendly

Home I need :

🐾 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.

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.

✨ Kerry’s Best Qualities:

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+

Comfortable being left for 2–3 hours 💤

Meet Freddie! 🐾

🐕 Friendly with other dogs when off lead and loves to play fetch

📣 Has good recall and enjoys his off-lead adventures

👧 Socialised with children aged 5+

🏡 Used to being left alone for 2–3 hours

Freddie would love an energetic household that can match his enthusiasm. He can be strong on the lead and may bark at other dogs out of excitement to play, so ongoing training will help him continue to improve his manners.

Because he loves to chase, Freddie will need a home without cats.

If you can offer this lively, loving boy the active home he deserves, please apply online today — Freddie can’t wait to meet you! 🐶💚

 

 

Jessie

Breed : Shar Pei x

D.O.B : 27/04/2016

Sex : Female neutered

Weight: 25kg

Temperament : Bold, Friendly

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.

Mocha

Breed : Shih Tzu

D.O.B : 20/01/2015

Sex : Female neutered

Weight: 5KG

Temperament : Gentle, friendly

Home I need :

Meet Mocha ☕🐾

Mocha came into Ferne after her previous owner’s health sadly declined, leaving them unable to continue her care. She’s a gentle older soul who’s looking for a calm, adult-only home where she can enjoy her twilight years in peace and comfort.

Mocha is:

✨ Friendly with other dogs when off-lead

✨ Has lived happily with cats

✨ House trained and walks beautifully on a loose lead

✨ Good in the car and used to being left for 2–3 hours

She can be a little vocal towards other dogs when on the lead, so her new family will need to continue gentle training to help her feel more relaxed on walks.

Mocha currently has some itchy skin and is receiving treatment — her new owners will need to follow our vet’s advice and continue her care so she can get back to feeling her best.

If you have a quiet home, a comfy sofa, and a loving heart ready to welcome this sweet senior girl, please apply online — Mocha deserves to spend her golden years surrounded by kindness and comfort. 💛

Currently in a foster home.

Diesel

Weight: 30KG

Temperament : Shy, friendly

Home I need :

🐾 Meet Diesel!

This handsome boy is Diesel. He came to Ferne after his previous owner sadly could no longer care for him.

Diesel is still young, so he’ll benefit from some further training — particularly with loose-lead walking, recall, and general obedience. He can be a little shy at first, but he soon comes around and loves fuss and attention once he gets to know you.

Diesel would be best suited to a home without cats, as he will chase them. He’s friendly with other dogs both on and off the lead, travels well, and has previously lived with children aged 11 and over. He can be left alone for up to an hour.

If you can offer this handsome chap a loving home and have experience with husky breeds, please apply online — Diesel can’t wait to meet you! 💙

Meet Barnaby! 🐾

Barnaby travels well and is used to being left for short periods (around 1–2 hours). He’s playful with other dogs both on and off lead, lived with cats and absolutely loves a good fuss.

As a young pup, Barnaby will need someone with the time and patience to continue his training. He’ll benefit from further help with house training, recall, and basic obedience, so an owner who can give him consistency and structure will help him grow into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be.
