Mutts dogs

Here are some of the dogs available for rehoming at Mutts in Distress. Please be aware that we cannot be sure how well any of the dogs will get on with any cats you may have at home.

These dogs are featured here because none of them were wearing ID discs when picked up and when scanned, none were microchipped. Look after your pet and get him microchipped – that way he will be returned to you if he strays. Dogs must wear ID tags by law. Ask at reception for disc engraving done while you wait and microchipping by appointment.

We have new dogs arriving at the centre every day and so the most recent arrivals may not feature on this page for a few days. Please contact us if you’d like more up to date information.

Please – think carefully when deciding to rehome a dog. Dogs are being let down by people who agree to take them but then change their minds. Only those who have passed a homecheck and bring the pass form with them, will be able to meet the dogs. This is both to avoid disappointment and because the kennels are a working business and kennel hands can not spend time with people who are not in a position to take a dog. Thank you for your understanding.

To apply to rehome one of the Mutts dogs, please complete our rehoming application form.

Tommy - arriving soon

This stunning dog is Tommy who was dumped by his owner in the hell that is Ourense pound in Spain. Tommy is about 8 years old, a very calm, affectionate boy who is good with people and all other dogs. Tommy has been in that pound for over a year, no one wants a larger, older dog and he is now giving up. He is not eating and is very thin under all that fur. The volunteers were so concerned that he was taken for blood tests but everything is fine. He is just very sad and depressed. He may not last another winter sleeping on cold concrete in freezing temperatures. All Tommy wants is a home where he can love and be loved back. The fabulous people at Mutts have stepped up for Tommy and will take this beautiful boy and find him the home he deserves. Thank you so much Mutts. I am sure someone would love to give Tommy a forever home.

Yunar

Just arrived, a male German Shepherd about 3 yrs old. So far in kennels he is good with other dogs, very friendly and loves people. He is sweet natured and kind. He is best friends with Laika.

Lara

Just arrived. This lovely girl is a sensitive and gentle Lurcher. So far in kennels, she has shown to be friendly with people. Probably best not to rehome with cats as we don't know her reaction to them as yet. She is gentle and sensitive and will thrive in a loving home.

Amber pup

This gorgeous fluppy pup is Amber. He is at Mutts and looking for a home. For some reason he's been overlooked. He needs a home that will introduce him to the big wide world nice and slowly but is keen to start exploring and having some adventures.

Magic

Magic is 5 years old, during his time with us at the kennels, he seems good with some dogs, not destructive at all, loves playing in water and is an all round lovely dog and is very photogenic! He needs a home with no small children or cats as he is a big bouncy boy. He knows paw, sit and bed. He needs a firm but kind home with a family that enjoy long walks and preferably who can attend our dog classes held each week. Magic has been in a foster home and has calmed down very well. He has experienced outdoor life, being a representative for Mutts at a shopping centre, on transport etc and has excelled.

Jyp

He is a middle aged Collie, who during his time with us at the kennels, has shown to be frightened of cats and a little shy at first but has now started to enjoy himself. He would enjoy a quiet adult only home. He's the sort of dog who would like to go for walks with his owner whilst his owner tells him all about his day. He'd like to sit in the pub garden and share a sausage roll. He is frightened about travelling in the car, so will need gentle coaxing to build up his confidence. He would also enjoy to stay in and watch tv with his owner. He's a real companion dog. Not demanding, just content to be with you.

Toby

Toby is young, very handsome, happy go lucky and medium sized. During his time with us at the kennels, he seems to love to play with toys. He is a very smart boy and loves training and learning and wants to please. He responds really well and is a quick learner. He loves to please.Toby is a great dog and will be a fabulous companion in the right home. He is loyal and loving. He gives himself heart and soul to people he knows and trusts. He needs someone who can take their time to introduce him to the outside world and show him how wonderful it can be.

Sky

Sky is a beautiful long coat medium/large sized boy. He is young and a little overwhelmed at the moment. During his time with us at the kennels, he seems to be unsure of men but this is being worked on. He is relaxing more and more and starting to enjoy a fuss, it's just going to take a confident and sensitive owner to help him further. Once he trusts you he is very loyal and loving.

John Rudi

John Rudi is about 5 years old, another fantastic dog. He loves cuddles and a scratch. Poor JR was abandoned by his owners and is very sad. So let's make him happy again. During his time with us at the kennels, he seems to be wary of some dogs and socialising at our dog classes would really help his confidence in these situations. He needs an owner that will work with him and enjoy him. Older children would be best if there are any in the family. He has not been bothered by seeing cats or livestock so far. He is good in the car and loves his walks.

Bullseye

Thought to be about 4yrs. So far in kennels, he seems to be choosy with his dog friends. A playful boy. No cats. He loves to run after a toy. A smiley boy.

Toots

When Tootsie first arrived, he was extremely scared of anyone and everything. Mutts have been working on him and so far in kennels,he is gaining confidence well. He is about 2 years old. Now starting to walk on a lead. He can get worried with changes, so is looking for a quiet home and an owner with plenty of time and patience, who will come and sit with him to gain his trust. A home with older children could be considered. He is going to need gentle, slow progress.

Smiley Beverley

Beverley is about 3 years old. A Lurcher cross. She loves people. So far in kennels, she has shown an interest in cats. She can walk with other dogs but would prefer not to live with them. She walks well on the lead. She would like a home with no small children as they scare her. Teenage dog savvy children only please.She would love to be someone's special princess. She enjoys her walks and cuddles. She will be a loyal and loving companion. If you are looking for a hound who will love nothing more than to snuggle up on a cold winter night and with snacks and a movie.... Beverley is your girl.

Josie

Josie is a gorgeous girl with beautiful colouring. She is about 5 yrs old, spayed and vaccinated. She so far in kennels, has been a happy girl, who loves to play in the paddock. She loves a cuddle and will make a great companion for her new owner. She would like a home with older children as she can be bouncy.

Milo pup

Milo is vaccinated and 8 months old. He is learning about the big wide world at the moment and will need gentle confidence building and patience. He is good with other dogs at the kennels. Please consider carefully before rehoming a puppy. We do not want these dogs to be let down again. With time and understanding, he will blossom into a fantastic companion. Milo is getting braver everyday with people he knows. It will take a patient and loving person to take the time to get to know him and help him to become the amazing boy he has the potential to be. Another dog in the home would help him with his confidence

Smiley Ruby

Ruby is a beautiful girl, very loyal and loving. Since being at the kennels, Ruby has shown that she just wants to cuddle and be loved. Ruby would rather have a cuddle than her breakfast when she sees you in the morning! When she goes to the paddock, she likes to have a look around but then spends most of her time sitting on your feet nudging you for more cuddles. She will be a wonderful friend for some lucky person. Shes about 4 1/2 years old, has been around children but a home with older children 10+ would be best.She would make a wonderful companion for someone.

Luhan

From appalling conditions in Spain. Luhan is young, medium size about 18kg. Poor Luhan has been put in the cage with other big dogs and they are picking on him. He is such a gentle, submissive soul that he will be a prime target and may not last long in there. The wonderful people at Mutts have offered him a place, so he can be safe and have a happy future. He is soon going into a foster placement and will be travelling to Mutts in October.
Update : Luhan is now out of the pound and on his way to the vet where he will be vaccinated, chipped and neutered, then off to his fosterer so he can be assessed and prepared to travel to Mutts very shortly. Apparently he is absolutely amazing, such a sweet gentle boy. Thank you so much Mutts for taking him. Hopefully he will have a family waiting for him, to love him and give him the home he deserves. He is a little cracker!

Flash

A handsome young Lurcher who has just arrived. He loves having a scratch and so far in kennels has been very friendly. He would love a sofa of his own but he can curl up small if needed. He loves a cuddle and is always trying to please.

Laika

A beautiful German Shepherd dog who is about 5 yrs old. A happy-go-lucky girl who loves cuddles and so far in kennels gets on with other dogs. She loves a cuddle and really wants to please. She will make a loving and loyal companion for her new owner. She is very keen to learn and loves to use her brain.

Wolf - arriving soon

This stunning boy is Wolf who is one of the most submissive, sweet dogs in the hell that is Ourense pound. He is about 6/7 years old, good with people and other dogs. Because he is so gentle, he is constantly in fear of the other dogs and spends all his time lying in the corner trying not to be seen. He already has a wound on his lovely face and it is really urgent he gets out before he suffers further attacks. The wonderful people at Mutts have agreed to take Wolf and find him a loving home. As he now has an offer, hopefully he can get out of the pound soon and start a new happy life. Thank you so much Mutts for saving this very nice boy.

Puppies - arriving January

Four puppies who were abandoned on a country road in Romania. 2 boys and 2 girls. They look to be Collie crosses. Currently in a foster home and once vaccinated, will travel together to Mutts in Distress. Homechecks will be ongoing, so please apply now so that you are ready for when they arrive.
